Popular passages
Page 124 - THE splendor falls on castle walls And snowy summits old in story : The long light shakes across the lakes And the wild cataract leaps in glory. Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying, Blow, bugle ; answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying.

Page 133 - Speak, father!" once again he cried, "if I may yet be gone ! And" — but the booming shots replied, and fast the flames rolled on.
Page 202 - Those who toil bravely are strongest The humble and poor become great; And from these brown-handed children Shall grow mighty rulers of state. The pen of the author and statesman — The noble and wise of the land — The sword and the chisel and palette Shall be held in the little brown hand.
Page 133 - THE boy stood on the burning deck, Whence all but him had fled ; The flame that lit the battle's wreck, Shone round him o'er the dead.
Page 113 - Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, And ye waters that be above the heavens. Let them praise the name of the LORD: For he commanded, and they were created.
