Thou Soul that art the eternity of thought That givest to forms and images a breath And everlasting motion, not in vain By day or star-light thus from my first dawn Of childhood didst thou intertwine for me The passions that build up our human soul ; Not with the mean and vulgar works of man, But with high objects, with enduring things — With life and nature — purifying thus The elements of feeling and of thought, And sanctifying, by such discipline, Both pain...

81. oldal - Lord, what a change within us one short hour Spent in Thy presence will prevail to make ; 'What heavy burdens from our bosoms take : What parched grounds refresh as with a shower ! We kneel, and all around us seems to lower ; We rise, and all — the distant and the near — Stands forth, in sunny outline, brave and clear.
1. oldal - Our eyelids: other creatures all day long Rove idle, unemployed, and less need rest; Man hath his daily work of body or mind Appointed, which declares his dignity, And the regard of heaven on all his ways; While other animals unactive range, And of their doings God takes no account.
