Seite 377 - And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.

Seite 268 - HAST thou seen that lordly castle, That Castle by the Sea? Golden and red above it The clouds float gorgeously.

Seite 290 - Where thou shall be ; Now I shall measure thee, And the mould afterwards. Thy house is not Highly timbered, It is unhigh and low ; When thou art therein, The heel-ways are low, The side-ways unhigh. The roof is built Thy breast full nigh, So thou shall in mould Dwell full cold, Dimly and dark. Doorless is that house, And dark it is within ; There thou art fast detained And Death hath the key. Loathsome is that earth-house, And grim within to dwell. There thou shall dwell, And worms shall divide thee.
Seite 281 - THE sea hath its pearls, The heaven hath its stars ; But my heart, my heart, My heart hath its love. Great are the sea and the heaven ; Yet greater is my heart, And fairer than pearls and stars Flashes and beams my love.
Seite 283 - Though the mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding small; Though with patience he stands waiting, with exactness grinds he all.
Seite 186 - Lies poisonous dew. To One alone my thoughts arise, The Eternal Truth, — the Good and Wise,— To Him I cry, Who shared on earth our common lot, But the world comprehended not His deity.
