Through Thy clear spaces, Lord, of old,
Formless and void the dead earth rolled;
Deaf to Thy heaven's sweet music, blind
...
A PIOUS magistrate! sound his praise throughout
The wondering churches. Who shall henceforth doubt
That the long-wished millennium draweth nigh?
...
Tauler, the preacher, walked, one autumn day,
Without the walls of Strasburg, by the Rhine,
Pondering the solemn Miracle of Life;
...
As a guest who may not stay
Long and sad farewells to say
Glides with smiling face away,
...
Around Sebago's lonely lake
There lingers not a breeze to break
The mirror which its waters make.
...
From the Mahabharata.
Before the Ender comes, whose charioteer
Is swift or slow Disease, lay up each year
...
NIGHT on the city of the Moor!
On mosque and tomb, and white-walled shore,
On sea-waves, to whose ceaseless knock
The narrow harbor gates unlock,
...
A track of moonlight on a quiet lake,
Whose small waves on a silver-sanded shore
...
Pipes of the misty moorlands,
Voice of the glens and hills;
The droning of the torrents,
The treble of the rills!
...
