“Pure and undimmed, thy angel smile Is mirrored on my dreams, Like evening's sunset-girded isle Upon her shadowed streams: And o'er my thoughts thy vision floats, Like melody of spring-bird, notes; When the blue halcyon gently laves His plumage in the flashing waves.” DreamVisionPureSpringBirdAngelBlueNotesWaveEveningStreamsSunsetMelodyMy ThoughtsFloatsIsle Author:Benjamin
“Press on! If Fortune play thee false To-day, tomorrow she'll be true; Whom now she sinks she now exalts, Taking old gifts and granting new, The wisdom of the present hour Makes up the follies past and gone; To weakness, strength succeeds, and power From frailty springs! Press on, press on!” IfsPlayPastHoursGoneTomorrowSucceedSpringWeaknessPressesFortuneBeing TrueTheeFollyFrailty Author:Benjamin
