Trang 60 - Dear lovely bowers of innocence and ease, Seats of my youth, when every sport could please, How often have I loitered o'er thy green, Where humble happiness endeared each scene! How often have I paused on every charm, The sheltered cot, the cultivated farm, The never-failing brook, the busy mill, The decent church that topped the neighbouring hill, The hawthorn bush, with seats beneath the shade, For talking age and whispering lovers made!
Trang 242 - Is it well with thee ? is it well with thy husband ? is it well with the child ? And she answered, It is well.

Trang 236 - As you are now, so once was I. As I am now so you must be. Prepare for death and follow me.
Trang 228 - These ashes, too, this little dust Our Father's care shall keep, Till the last angel rise and break The long and dreary sleep.
Trang 1 - Those who do not look upon themselves as a link connecting the past with the future do not perform their duty to the world.
