Nae man can tether time or tide; The hour approaches Tam maun ride; That hour, o...
Page 2273 - Ye Mariners of England That guard our native seas, Whose flag has braved a thousand years The battle and the breeze!

Page 2004 - Then kneeling down, to Heaven's Eternal King, The saint, the father, and the husband prays: Hope "springs exulting on triumphant wing," That thus they all shall meet in future days: There, ever bask in uncreated rays, No more to sigh, or shed the bitter tear, Together hymning their Creator's praise, In such society, yet still more dear; While circling time moves round in an eternal sphere...
