Page 44 - And the mother gave, in tears and pain, The flowers she most did love; She knew she should find them all again In the fields of light above. O, not in cruelty, not in wrath, The Reaper came that day; Twas an angel visited the green earth, And took the flowers away.
Page 48 - Sweet Day, so cool, so calm, so bright, The bridal of the earth and sky, The dews shall weep thy fall to-night ; For thou must die. Sweet Rose, whose hue angry and brave Bids the rash gazer wipe his eye ; Thy root is ever in its grave, And thou must die. Sweet Spring, full of sweet days and roses, A box where sweets compacted lie...
Page 6 - No advertisement, unnecessary quotation, or narrative can be admitted. At the back of each frame must be written the name and address of the Artist, with a title or description of the picture, and the number (if there be more than one) to which it refers in his list.
