And a sad splendour vainly shines...
Seite 10 - Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains. He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
Seite 93 - The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field: 32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds ; but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becomcth a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
Seite 53 - Then youthful box, which now hath grace Your houses to renew, Grown old, surrender must his place Unto the crisped yew. When yew is out, then birch comes in, And many flowers beside, Both of a fresh and fragrant kin, To honour Whitsuntide.
