Stran 164 - tis the draught of a breath, From the blossom of health to the paleness of death ; From the gilded saloon to the bier and the shroud : — Oh ! why should the spirit of mortal be proud ? Oh ! why should the spirit of mortal be proud?
Stran 28 - Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant." But he knoweth not that the dead are there ; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
Stran 163 - The maid on whose cheek, on whose brow, in whose eye, Shone beauty and pleasure — her triumphs are by; And the memory of those who loved her and praised, Are alike from the minds of the living erased.
Stran 235 - For he who fights and runs away May live to fight another day ; But he who is in battle slain Can never rise and fight again.
Stran 104 - Passing away, saith the World, passing away: Chances, beauty, and youth, sapped day by day: Thy life never continueth in one stay. Is the eye waxen dim, is the dark hair changing to grey That hath won neither laurel nor bay? I shall clothe myself in Spring and bud in May: Thou, root-stricken, shall not rebuild thy decay On my bosom for aye. Then I answered: Yea.

Stran 104 - Passing away, saith my God, passing away: Winter passeth after the long delay: New grapes on the vine, new figs on the tender spray, Turtle calleth turtle in Heaven's May. Though I tarry, wait for Me, trust Me, watch and pray: Arise, come away, night is past and lo it is day, My love, My sister, My spouse, thou shall hear Me say. Then I answered: Yea.
Stran 163 - The peasant, whose lot was to sow and to reap ; The herdsman, who climbed with his goats up the steep ; The beggar, who wandered in search of his bread, Have faded away like the grass that we tread.
