Image
God is its author, and not man he laid The key-note of all harmonies he planned All perfect combinations, and he made Us so that we could hear and understand.

Image
Hate no one hate their vices, not themselves.

Image
At the piping of all hands,When the judgment-signal's spread-When the islands and the landsAnd the seas give up their dead,And the South and North shall comeWhen the sinner is dismayed,And the just man is afraid,Then Heaven be thy aid,Poor Tom.

Image
Far beneath the tainted foamThat frets above our peaceful home,We dream in joy and wake in loveNor know the rage that yells above.
