Page 130 - Soldier, go — but not to claim Mouldering spoils of earth-born treasure; Not to build a vaunting name, Not to dwell in tents of pleasure. — Dream not that the way is smooth ; Hope not that the thorns are roses ; Turn no wishful eye of youth, Where the sunny beam reposes; Thou hast sterner work to do, Hosts to cut thy passage through; Close behind thee, gulfs are burning — Forward ! — there is no returning...

Page 329 - AY, thou art for the grave ; thy glances shine Too brightly to shine long ; another Spring Shall deck her for men's eyes, — but not for thine — Sealed in a sleep which knows no wakening. The fields for thee have no medicinal leaf, And the vexed ore no mineral of power ; And they who love thee wait in anxious grief Till the slow plague shall bring the fatal hour.
Page 22 - COME, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
Page 90 - The Father hears him pray, His dear anointed One : He cannot turn away The presence of his Son : His Spirit answers to the blood, And tells me I am born of God.
