Halaman 25 - I could not but think how the world would feel. As these were outstripped afar, When I should be bound to the rushing keel, Or chained to the flying car ! Ha ! ha ! ha ! they found me at last ; They invited me forth at length ; And I rushed to my throne with a...
Halaman 24 - may go and play," While I manage the world by myself. But harness me down with your iron bands, Be sure of your curb and rein, For I scorn the strength of your puny hands As the tempest scorns a chain.
Halaman 3 - The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils ; The motions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus. Let no such man be trusted.
Halaman 38 - Though many and bright are the stars that appear In that flag by our country unfurled, And the stripes that are swelling in majesty there, Like a rainbow adorning the world, — Their light is unsullied as those in the sky, By a deed that our fathers have done, And they're linked in as true and as holy a tie, In their motto of "Many in One.
Halaman 40 - mid their dungeons afar, When they gaze on that motto of love. It shall gleam o'er the sea, 'mid the. bolts of the storm, Over tempest and battle and wreck, And flame where our guns with their thunder grow warm 'Neath the blood on the slippery deck.

Halaman 24 - THE SONG OF STEAM. Harness me down with your iron bands, Be sure of your curb and rein; For I scorn the power of your puny hands, As the tempest scorns a chain. How I laughed as I lay concealed from sight, For many a countless hour, At the childish boast of human might, And the pride of human power.
Halaman 26 - I blow the bellows, I forge the steel, In all the shops of trade ; I hammer the ore and turn the wheel, Where my arms of strength are made; I manage the furnace, the mill, the mint; I carry, I spin, I weave; And all my doings I put into print, On every Saturday eve. I've no muscle to weary, no breast to decay, No bones to be " laid on the shelf," And soon I intend you may " go and play," While I manage this world myself.
Halaman 24 - At the childish boast of human might, And the pride of human power. When I saw an army upon the land, A navy upon the seas, Creeping...
Halaman 40 - Then up with our flag ! Let it stream on the air ! Tho' our fathers are cold in their graves, They had hands that could strike — they had souls that could dare, And their sons were not born to be slaves. Up, up with that banner ! Where'er it may call, Our millions shall rally around ; A nation of freemen that moment shall fall, When its stars shall be trailed on the ground.
