Nae man can tether time or tide; The hour approaches Tarn maun ride — That hour o...
Página 57 - Nipt by the year, the forest fades; And, shaking to the wind, The leaves toss to and fro, and streak The wilderness behind. The winter past, reviving flowers Anew shall paint the plain; The woods shall hear the voice of spring, And flourish green again: But man departs this earthly scene, Ah!
Página 61 - As bursts the morn on night's unfathomed gloom, Lured his dim eye to deathless hopes sublime, Beyond the realms of Nature and of Time !
