Page 166 - Close his eyes; his work is done! What to him is friend or foeman, Rise of moon, or set of sun, Hand of man, or kiss of woman? Lay him low, lay him low. In the clover or the snow I What cares he? he cannot know: Lay him low...
Page 100 - All the dread mass, and drifts Tempest and falling brand Over a ruined land ; So still and orderly, Arm to arm, knee to knee, Waiting the great event, Stands the black regiment. Down the long dusky line Teeth gleam and eyeballs shine ; And the bright bayonet, Bristling and firmly set, Flashed with a purpose grand, Long ere the sharp command Of the fierce rolling drum Told them their time had come, Told them what work was sent For the black regiment. "Now...

Page 432 - Please yourself. And you will please me better. You are sad: I marked it ever since you saw the Count. I fear the splendor of his victories, And his sweet grace of manner — for, in faith, His is the gentlest, grandest character, Despite his — FRAN. Well? RIT. Despite his — FRAN. Ritta, what?
Page 80 - Then in her triumph sank grandly away. Five of the rebels, like satellites round her, Burned in her orbit of splendor and fear ; One, like the Pleiad of mystical story, . Shot, terror-stricken, beyond her dread sphere. We who are waiting with crowns for the victors, Though we should offer the wealth of our store, Load the Varuna from deck down to kelson, Still would be niggard, such tribute to pour On courage so boundless. It beggars possession, It knocks for just payment at heaven's bright door.
Page 367 - And move your heart to anything like love, Wed her yourself. The peace would stand as firm By such a match.
Page 102 - Leaping with open hands, Down they tear man and horse, Down in their awful course ; Trampling with bloody heel Over the crashing steel, All their eyes forward bent, Rushed the black regiment. "Freedom...
