Pagina 28 - ... Bright volumes of vapour through Lothbury glide, And a river flows on through the vale of Cheapside. Green pastures she views in the midst of the dale, Down which she so often has tripped with her pail ; And a single small Cottage, a nest like a dove's, The one only dwelling on earth that she loves.

Pagina 168 - Bat help it I cannot, I cannot help thinking, How pleasant it is to have money, heigh ho ! How pleasant it is to have money. I sit at my table en grand seigneur, And when I have done, throw a crust to the poor ; N"ot only the pleasure...
Pagina 56 - Unless you can think, when the song is done, No other is soft in the rhythm; Unless you can feel, when left by One, That all men else go with him; Unless you can know, when upraised by his breath. That your beauty itself wants proving; Unless you can swear, 'For life, for death!
