Side 9 - Embattled in her field; and the humble shrub, And bush with frizzled hair implicit: last Rose, as in dance, the stately trees, and spread Their branches hung with copious fruit, or gemmed Their blossoms: with high woods the hills were crowned, With tufts the valleys and each fountain side: With borders long the rivers: that earth now Seemed like to heav'n, a seat where gods might dwell, Or wander with delight, and love to haunt Her sacred shades...
Side 9 - Joying to hear the birds' sweet harmony, Which therein shrouded from the tempest dread, Seem'd in their song to scorn the cruel sky. Much can they praise the trees so straight and high, The sailing Pine, the Cedar proud and tall, The vine-prop Elm, the Poplar never dry, The builder Oak, sole king of forests all, The Aspen good for staves, the Cypress funeral...

Side 67 - While the ploughman, near at hand, Whistles o'er the furrowed land, And the milkmaid singeth blithe, And the mower whets his scythe, And every shepherd tells his tale Under the hawthorn in the dale.
Side 166 - And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your olive-yards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.
Side 34 - No tree in all the grove but has its charms, Though each its hue peculiar ; paler some, And of a wannish...
Side 166 - ... by; And each quick glistening of the laurel bower Wafts Grecian images o'er fancy's eye. But thou, pale Olive! in thy branches lie Far deeper spells than prophet-grove of old Might e'er enshrine. I could not hear thee sigh To the wind's faintest whisper, nor behold One shiver of thy leaves...
