Make music, O bird, in the new-budded bowers...

Page 232 - So spake the seraph Abdiel, faithful found, Among the faithless faithful only he; Among innumerable false unmoved, Unshaken, unseduced, unterrified, His loyalty he kept, his love, his zeal ; Nor number nor example with him wrought To swerve from truth, or change his constant mind, Though single.

Page 427 - Our sorrows are no phantom of the night, No idle tale ; No cloud that floats along a sky of light, On summer gale. They are the true realities of earth, Friends and companions even from our birth. O life below — how brief, and poor, and sad ! One heavy sigh. O life above — how long, how fair, and glad ; An endless joy.
