Whose passions not his masters are; Whose soul is still prepared for death, Untied unto the world by care Of public fame or private breath ; Who envies none that chance doth raise...
Page 305 - For what are men better than sheep or goats That nourish a blind life within the brain, If, knowing God, they lift not hands of prayer Both for themselves and those who call them friend? For so the whole round earth is every way • Bound by gold chains about the feet of God.
Page 259 - And so beside the Silent Sea I wait the muffled oar ; No harm from Him can come to me On ocean or on shore. I know not where His islands lift Their fronded palms in air ; I only know I cannot drift Beyond His love and care.

Page 110 - The word unto the prophet spoken Was writ on tables yet unbroken; The word by seers or sibyls told, In groves of oak, or fanes of gold, Still floats upon the morning wind, Still whispers to the willing mind. One accent of the Holy Ghost The heedless world hath never lost.
Page 29 - THY seamless robe conceals thee not From earnest hearts and true : The glory of thy perfectness Shines all its texture through. And on its flowing hem we read, As thou dost linger near, The message of a love more deep Than any depth of fear. And so no more our hearts shall plead For miracle and sign ; Thy order and thy faithfulness Are all in all divine.
