الصفحة 315 - And, mid these days of dark alarm, Almost to hope allure. Methinks with purpose soft ye come To tell of brighter hours, Of May's blue skies, abundant bloom, Her sunny gales and showers.
الصفحة 116 - When affliction presses hard, and the weakness of human nature looks round, in vain, for support, how natural is the impulse that throws us on our knees before Him who has laid his chastenings upon us ; and how...
الصفحة 383 - I undrew the curtains of her bed and of the window, and raised her in my arms. " She turned her dying eyes upon the light of Heaven — and then on me. I pressed her hand to my lips ; it was wet with my tears. " ' Oh, Louisa !' said she, ' my guide — my tender friend — God for ever bless you ! — and you, too, good Sir...
