الصفحة 78 - By the flow of the inland river, Whence the fleets of iron have fled, Where the blades of the grave-grass quiver, Asleep are the ranks of the dead; Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment day; Under the one, the Blue; Under the other, the Gray.
الصفحة 61 - Shouting and clapping, with confused din; That makes a prince. No, Lucio, he's a king, A true right king, that dares do aught save wrong, Fears nothing mortal, but to be unjust, Who is not blown up with the flattering puffs Of...
الصفحة 5 - Oh, Peace ! thou source and soul of social life, Beneath whose calm inspiring influence, Science his views enlarges, Art refines, And swelling Commerce opens all her ports, Blest be the man divine who gives us thee...
