One hour of life, crowded to the full with glorious action, and filled with noble risks, is worth whole years of those mean observances of paltry decorum. He that climbs a ladder must begin at the first round. Cutting honest throats by whispers. The happy combination of fortuitous circumstances. Is death the last sleep? No, it is the last final awakening. One crowded hour of glorious life Is worth an age without a name. The sickening pang of hope deferr'd. To the timid and hesitating everything is impossible because it seems so. And love is loveliest when embalm'd in tears. To all, to each, a fair good night, And pleasing dreams; and slumbers light. Breathes there the man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land! I cannot tell how the truth may be; I say the tale as 'twas said to me. O Caledonia! stern and wild, Meet nurse for a poetic child! Land of brown heath and shaggy wood, Land of the mountain and the flood, Land of my sires! what mortal hand Can e'er untie the filial band, That knits me to thy rugged strand! To all, to each, a fair goodnight, And pleasing dreams, and slumbers light. Her blue eyes sought the west afar, For lovers love the western star. I cannot tell how the truth may be; I say the tale as 'twas said to me. I cannot tell how the truth may be; I say the tale as 'twas said to me. Welcome as the flowers in May. O Woman! in our hours of ease, Uncertain coy, and hard to please, And variable as the shade By the light quivering aspen made; When pain and anguish wring the brow, A ministering angel thou! |

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. |
