Сторінка 51 - She guides the young with innocence In pleasure's path to tread ; A crown of glory she bestows Upon the hoary head. 5 According as her labours rise, So her rewards increase ; Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.
Сторінка 104 - There is no union here of hearts, That finds not here an end : Were this frail world our only rest, Living or dying, none were blest.
