Сторінка 389 - Sleep sweetly in your humble graves, Sleep, martyrs of a fallen cause; Though yet no marble column craves The pilgrim here to pause. In seeds of laurel in the earth The blossom of your fame is blown, And somewhere, waiting for its birth, The shaft is in the stone!
Сторінка 390 - And there's a look about the leafless bowers As if they dreamed of flowers. Yet still on every side we trace the hand Of winter in the land.
Сторінка 378 - WHILE I recline At ease beneath This immemorial pine, Small sphere ! (By dusky fingers brought this morning here And shown with boastful smiles), I turn thy cloven sheath, Through which the soft white fibres peer, That, with their gossamer bands, Unite, like love, the sea-divided lands, And slowly, thread by thread, Draw forth the folded strands, Than which the trembling line, By whose frail help yon startled spider fled Down the tall spear-grass from his swinging bed, Is scarce more fine ; And as...
Сторінка 369 - So clear your swords, and coax your steeds, There's goodly chance, I think, of fight. We follow where the swamp fox guides, We leave the swamp and cypress tree, Our spurs are in our coursers' sides, And ready for the strife are we.

Сторінка 113 - ... it is a great and dangerous error to suppose that all people are equally entitled to liberty. It is a reward to be earned, not a blessing to be gratuitously lavished on all alike; — a reward reserved for the intelligent, the patriotic, the virtuous and deserving; — and not a boon to be bestowed on a people too ignorant, degraded and vicious, to be capable either of appreciating or of enjoying it.
Сторінка 300 - LAND of the South ! — imperial land ! — How proud thy mountains rise ! — How sweet thy scenes on every hand ! How fair thy covering skies ! But not for this, — oh, not for these, I love thy fields to roam, — Thou hast a dearer spell to me, — Thou art my native home...
Сторінка 385 - CHARLESTON Calm as that second summer which precedes The first fall of the snow, In the broad sunlight of heroic deeds, The City bides the foe. As yet, behind their ramparts stern and proud, Her bolted thunders sleep— Dark Sumter, like a battlemented cloud, Looms o'er the solemn deep. No Calpe frowns from lofty cliff or scar To guard the holy strand; But Moultrie holds in leash her dogs of war Above the level sand.
Сторінка 222 - The feelings of the colonies were formerly the feelings of Great Britain. Theirs were formerly the feelings of Mr Hampden when called upon for the payment of twenty shillings. Would twenty shillings have ruined Mr Hampden's fortune ? No, but the payment of half twenty shillings, on the principle it was demanded, would have made him a slave.
Сторінка 399 - This monument perpetuates the memory of those who, true to the instincts of their birth, faithful to the teachings of their fathers, constant in their love for the state, died in the performance of their duty, who have glorified a fallen cause by the simple manhood of their lives, the patient endurance of suffering, and the heroism of death...
