This is the state of man ; to-day he puts forth The tender leaves of hope, to-morrow blossoms, And bears his blushing honours thick upon him : The third day comes a frost, a killing frost ; And,— when he thinks, good easy man, full surely His greatness is a ripening, — nips his root, And then he falls, as I do.

Pagina 31 - They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths : their soul is melted because of trouble : they reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end.
Pagina 32 - For though in dreadful whirls we hung High on the broken wave, I knew thou wert not slow to hear, Nor impotent to save. " The storm was laid, the winds retired, Obedient to thy will; The sea that roar'd at thy command, At thy command was still.
Pagina 173 - The rocks proclaim the approaching Deity. Lo, earth receives him from the bending skies ! Sink down, ye mountains ; and ye valleys, rise !
