Seite 85 - Here English law and English thought 'Gainst the self-will of England fought ; And here were men (coequal with their fate), Who did great things, unconscious they were great. They dreamed not what a die was cast With that first answering shot ; what then ? There was their duty ; they were men Schooled the soul's inward gospel to obey, Though leading to the lion's den.
Seite 48 - Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

Seite 82 - WHO cometh over the hills, Her garments with morning sweet, The dance of a thousand rills Making music before her feet ? Her presence freshens the air ; Sunshine steals light from her face; The leaden footstep of Care Leaps to the tune of her pace, Fairness of all that is fair, Grace at the heart of all grace, Sweetener of hut and of hall, Bringer of life out of naught, Freedom, oh, fairest of all The daughters of Time and Thought...
