Side 480 - The volcanoes are dim, and the stars reel and swim, When the whirlwinds my banner unfurl.
Side 480 - I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers, From the seas and the streams; I bear light shade for the leaves when laid In their noonday dreams. From my wings are shaken the dews that waken The sweet buds every one, When rocked to rest on their mother's breast, As she dances about the sun. I wield the flail of the lashing hail, And whiten the green plains under, And then again I dissolve it in rain, And laugh as I pass in thunder.
Side 435 - And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD : and he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.
Side 47 - He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining, in the meantime, exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

For after the rain when with never a stain, The pavilion of heaven is bare. And the winds and sunbeams with their convex gleams, Build up the blue dome of air, I silently laugh at my own cenotaph, And out of the caverns of rain, Like a child from the womb, like a ghost from the tomb, I arise and unbuild it again.
Side 58 - ... between people, who, though separated by an ocean, and under different governments, have the same language, a similar religion, and kindred blood.
Side 405 - I take this method to request such of you as are true citizens and willing to enjoy the liberty I bring you, to remain still in your houses: — And those, if any there be, that are friends to the king, will instantly repair to the fort and join the hair-buyer General, and fight like men.
Side 483 - THE sun is bright, — the air is clear, The darting swallows soar and sing, And from the stately elms I hear The bluebird prophesying Spring. So blue yon winding river flows, It seems an outlet from the sky, Where waiting till the west wind blows, The freighted clouds at anchor lie.
Side 306 - Heaven, and glances at that divinely consoling proclamation, " come unto me all ye who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest:" The ruin of the steeple is about thirty feet high, and mantled, to its very summit, with ivy.
