“Oh! weep not that our beauty wears Beneath the wings of Time; That age o'erclouds the brow with cares That once was raised sublime... But mourn the inward wreck we feel As hoary years depart, And Time's effacing fingers steal Young feelings from the heart!” FeelsYearsHeartFeelingsCareAgeYoungWingsRaisedFingersStealingInwardSublimeMournWrecksBrows Author:Robert Montgomery
“Say, care-worn man, Whom Duty chains within the city walls, Amid the toiling crowd, how grateful plays The fresh wind oer thy sickly brow, when free To tread the springy turf,— to hear the trees Communing with the gales,—to catch the voice Of waters, gushing from their rocky womb, And singing as they wander... Spring-hours will come again, and feelings rise With dewy freshness oer thy witherd heart.” MenHeartPlayFeelingsCareVoiceWaterNatureHoursCitiesTreeWindDutyWallSpringSingingGratefulCrowdsWanderChainsWornWombBrowsFreshnessGaleTurfToilingCity Walls Book:A Universal Prayer, Death, A Vision of Heaven and A Vision of Hell Source: A Universal Prayer, Death, A Vision of Heaven and A Vision of Hell
