And green for ever be the groves, And bright the flowery sod, Where first the child's glad spirit loves Its country and its God.
Pagina 29 - Above the green elms, that a cottage was near, And I said, " If there's peace to be found in the world, A heart that is humble might hope for it here...
Pagina 239 - Pent in this fortress of the North, Think'st thou we will not sally forth, To spoil the spoiler as we may, And from the robber rend the prey ? Ay, by my soul!
