24 페이지 - BIUD of the broad and sweeping wing! Thy home is high in heaven, Where wide the storms their banners fling, And the tempest clouds are driven. Thy throne is on the mountain top ; Thy fields the boundless air ; And hoary peaks, that proudly prop The skies, thy dwellings are.
25 페이지 - Lord of the boundless realm of air, In thy imperial name, The hearts of the bold and ardent dare The dangerous path of fame. Beneath the shade of thy golden wings The Roman legions bore, From the river of Egypt's cloudy springs, Their pride to the polar shore.
22 페이지 - Thou didst pierce the cloud, When the warring winds were roaring Fearfully and loud. Where is now that restless longing After higher things ? Come they not, like visions, thronging On their airy wings ? Why should not their glow enchant thee Upward to their bliss ? Surely danger cannot daunt thee From a heaven like this. But thou slumberest ; faint and quivering Hangs thy ruffled wing ; Like a dove in winter shivering, Or a feebler thing.

Thou art perched aloft on the beetling crag, And the waves are white below, And on, with a haste that cannot lag, They rush in an endless flow. Again thou hast plumed thy wing for flight To lands beyond the sea, And away, like a spirit wreathed in light, Thnu hurriest, wild and free.

Beautiful were thy shores, And manifold their outlines, here up-swelling In bossy green, — there hung in slaty cliffs, Black as if hewn from jet, and overtopped With the dark cedar's tufts, or new-leaved birch, Bright as the wave below.
5 페이지 - ... mastery of the riches and niceties of a language ; a full knowledge of the science of versification, not only in its own peculiar principles of rhythm and melody, but in its relation to elocution and music, with that delicate natural perception and that facile execution which render the composition of verse hardly less easy than that of prose ; a deep and quick insight into the nature of man, in all his varied faculties, intellectual and emotive ; a clear and full perception of the power and...
27 페이지 - I wheel'd around the welcome bark, As it sought the desolate shore ; And up to heaven, like a joyous lark, My quivering pinions bore. "And now that bold and hardy few Are a nation wide and strong...
23 페이지 - And his aim — how high ! Now he curves his neck, and proudly Now is stretched for flight — Hark ! his wings — they thunder loudly. And their flash — how bright! Onward — onward over mountains, Through the rock and storm, Now, like sunset over fountains, Flits his glancing form. Glorious bird, thy dream has left thee— Thou hast reached thy heaven — Lingering slumber hath not reft thee Of the glory given. With a bold, a fearless pinion, On thy starry road, None, to fame's supreme dominion,...
26 페이지 - W ith the low and crouching slave ; And together lay, in a shroud of blood, The coward and the brave. And where was then thy fearless flight? " O'er the dark, mysterious sea, To the lands that caught the setting light, The cradle of Liberty. There, on...
30 페이지 - ... bells in fold and pasture, or a voice Heard from a distant farm, or hollow bay Of home-returning hound — a virgin land Just rescued from the wilderness, still showing Wrecks of the giant forest, yet all bright With a luxuriant culture, springing wheat, And meadows richly green — the blessed gift Of liberty and law. I gazed upon them, And on the unchanging lake, and felt awhile Unutterable joy — I loved my land With more than filial love — it was a joy, That only spake in tears.
