There is not in the wide world a valley so sweet
As that vale in whose bosom the bright waters meet.
Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed (1919)
The moon looks
On many brooks,
"The brook can see no moon but this."
Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed (1919)
As sunshine, broken in the rill,
Though turn'd astray, is sunshine still!
Lalla Rookh (1817)
Never does a wilder song
Steal the breezy lyre along,
When the wind in odors dying,
Wooes it with enamor'd sighing.
There's nothing bright above, below,
From flowers that bloom, to stars that glow,
But in its light my soul can see
Some feature of Thy Deity.
Then awake!—the heavens look bright, my dear!
'Tis never too late for delight, my dear!
And the best of all ways
To lengthen our days
Is to steal a few hours from the night, my dear!
Blest power of sunshine!—genial day,
What balm, what life is in thy ray!
To feel there is such real bliss,
That had the world no joy but this,
To sit in sunshine calm and sweet,—
It were a world too exquisite
For man to leave it for the gloom,
The deep, cold shadow, of the tomb.
Lalla Rookh (1817)
And see—the Sun himself!—on wings
Of glory up the East he springs.
Angel of Light! who from the time
Those heavens began their march sublime,
Hath first of all the starry choir
Trod in his Maker's steps of fire!
Lalla Rookh (1817)
