Page 480 - Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they? Think not of them, thou hast thy music too, While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day, And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue; Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn Among the river sallows, borne aloft Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies; And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn; Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft The redbreast whistles from a garden-croft, And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.

Page 479 - And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core; To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells With a sweet kernel; to set budding more, And still more, later flowers for the bees, Until they think warm days will never cease, For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.
Page 479 - Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun; Conspiring with him how to load and bless With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run; To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees, And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core; To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells With a sweet kernel...
Page 532 - Tout est bien aujourd'hui, voilà l'illusion. Les sages me trompaient, et Dieu seul a raison. Humble dans mes soupirs, soumis dans ma souffrance. Je ne m'élève point contre la Providence.
Page 532 - Ou l'homme est né coupable, et Dieu punit sa race, Ou ce maître absolu de l'être et de l'espace, Sans courroux, sans pitié, tranquille, indifférent, De ses premiers décrets suit l'éternel torrent ; Ou la matière informe, à son maître rebelle, Porte en soi des défauts nécessaires comme elle ; Ou bien Dieu nous éprouve, et ce séjour mortel * N'est qu'un passage étroit vers un inonde éternel.
