Stran 573 - Out from many a mud-wall cabin Eyes were watching thro' that night ; Many a manly chest was throbbing For the blessed warning light. Murmurs passed along the valleys, Like the banshee's lonely croon, And a thousand blades were flashing At the risin
Stran 467 - Sweet kerchief, checked with heavenly blue, Which once my love sat knotting in ! — Alas! Matilda then was true! At least I thought so at the U — I0 — niversity of Gottingen — — niversity of Gottingen.
Stran 467 - U— — niversity of Gottingen — — niversity of Gottingen. There first for thee my passion grew, Sweet! sweet Matilda Pottingen! Thou wast the daughter of my tu — tor, Law Professor at the U — — niversity of Gottingen — — niversity of Gottingen.
Stran 613 - Spain's daughter. O ! farmer, strong farmer ! You can spend at the fair But your face you must turn To your crops and your care. And soldiers — red soldiers ! You've seen many lands ; But you walk two by two, And by captain's commands.
Stran 398 - The Celt's quick feeling for what is noble and distinguished gave his poetry style; his indomitable personality gave it pride and passion; his sensibility and nervous exaltation gave it a better gift still, the gift of rendering with wonderful felicity the magical charm of nature.
