Here are cool mosses deep, And thro...
Página 51 - FLOWER in the crannied wall, I pluck you out of the crannies, I hold you here, root and all, in my hand, Little flower — but if I could understand What you are, root and all, and all in all, I should know what God and man is.

Página 15 - Better thou lov'st the silent scene, Around the victor's grave. Where sleep the sons of ages flown, The bards and heroes of the past ; Where through the halls of glory gone, Murmurs the wintry blast ; Where years are hastening to efface, Each record of the grand and fair ; Thou, in thy solitary grace, Wreath of the tomb, art there...
