Page 161 - And through their lucid veil his softened force Shed o'er the peaceful world. Then is the time For those whom wisdom and whom nature charm To steal themselves from the degenerate crowd, And soar above this little scene of things ; To tread low-thoughted vice beneath their feet, To soothe the throbbing passions into peace, And woo lone quiet in her silent walks.
Page 64 - Ay, let them rail, those haughty ones. While safe thou dwellest with thy sons, They do not know how loved thou art, How many a fond and fearless heart Would rise to throw Its life between thee and the foe.
