Walter Scott
Image

Walter Scott
Image
Loud o'er my head though awful thunders roll, And vivid lightnings flash from pole to pole, Yet 'tis Thy voice, my God, that bids them fly, Thy arm directs those lightnings through the sky. Then let the good Thy mighty name revere, And hardened sinners Thy just vengeance fear.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott

Some feelings are to mortals given With less of earth in them than heaven.
Walter Scott
Image
The way was long, the wind was cold, The Minstrel was infirm and old His withered cheek, and tresses gray, Seemed to have know a better day.
Walter Scott
Image
Vengeance to God alone belongs But, when I think of all my wrongs My blood is liquid flame!
Walter Scott
Image
We often praise the evening clouds, And tints so gay and bold, But seldom think upon our God, Who tinged these clouds with gold.
Walter Scott
Image
The willow which bends to the tempest often escapes better than the oak which resists it.
Walter Scott
Image
Hope is brightest when it dawns from fears.
Walter Scott
Image
Still from the sire the son shall hear Of the stern strife, and carnage drear, Of Flodden's fatal field, When shiver'd was fair Scotland's spear, And broken was her shield!
