Halaman 353 - Beneath Thy throne, and stars most silver-paced Along the inferior gyres, and open-faced Melodious angels...
Halaman 338 - I TELL you, hopeless grief is passionless ; That only men incredulous of despair, Half-taught in anguish, through the midnight air Beat upward to God's throne in loud access Of shrieking and reproach. Full desertness In souls as countries, lieth silent-bare Under the blanching, vertical eye-glare Of the absolute Heavens.
Halaman 320 - GODS of Hellas, gods of Hellas, Can ye listen in your silence ? Can your mystic voices tell us Where ye hide ? In floating islands, With a wind that evermore Keeps you out of sight of shore? Pan, Pan is dead.
Halaman 239 - are very weak ! ' Few paces have we taken, yet are weary — Our grave-rest is very far to seek. Ask the aged why they weep, and not the children ; For the outside earth is cold ; And we young ones stand without, in our bewildering. And the graves are for the old.

So others shall Take patience...

Halaman 241 - Who is God that He should hear us, While the rushing of the iron wheels is stirred ? When we sob aloud, the human creatures near us Pass by, hearing not, or answer not a word ! And we hear not (for the wheels in their resounding) Strangers speaking at the door : Is it likely God, with angels singing round him, Hears our weeping any more ? x "Two words, indeed, of praying we remember, And at midnight's hour of harm — ' Our Father,' looking upward in the chamber, We say softly for a charm.
Halaman 136 - And Goethe, with that reaching eye His soul reached out from, far and high, And fell from inner entity.
Halaman 300 - The happy children come to us And look up in our faces; They ask us ' Was it thus, and thus, When we were in their places ? ' We cannot speak; — we see anew The hills we used to live in, And feel our mother's smile press through The kisses she is giving. Be pitiful, O God...
Halaman 191 - Oh, the little birds sang east, and the little birds sang west, Toll slowly. And I smiled to think God's greatness flowed around our incompleteness, — Round our restlessness, His rest.
