stars heaven christ
When Christ ascended Triumphantly from star to star He left the gates of Heaven ajar.
stars flower golden
These stars of earth, these golden flowers.
stars flower blue
Spake full well, in language quaint and olden, One who dwelleth by the castled Rhine, When he called the flowers, so blue and golden, Stars, that in earth's firmament do shine.
stars men sight
Were a star quenched on high,For ages would its light,Still travelling downward from the sky,Shine on our mortal sight. So when a great man dies,For years beyond our ken,The light he leaves behind him liesUpon the paths of men.
stars powerful ambition
Ambition is so powerful a passion in the human breast, that however high we reach we are never satisfied.
boyfriend stars heart
The sea hath its pearls The heaven hath its stars But my heart, my heart Has its love.
lonely stars fall
The setting of a great hope is like the setting of the sun. The brightness of our life is gone. Shadows of evening fall around us, and the world seems but a dim reflection - itself a broader shadow. We look forward into the coming lonely night. The soul withdraws into itself. Then stars arise, and the night is holy.
stars warrior soul
Thus, seamed with many scars Bursting these prison bars, Up to its native stars My soul ascended! There from the flowing bowl Deep drinks the warrior's soul, Skoal! to the Northland! skoal! Thus the tale ended.
stars self calm
The star of the unconquered will, He rises in my breast, Serene, and resolute, and still, And calm, and self-possessed.
stars night holy
Then stars arise, and the night is holy.
stars flower land
Stars of earth, these golden flowers; emblems of our own great resurrection; emblems of the bright and better land.
stars wind clouds
Through woods and mountain passes The winds, like anthems, roll.
stars science air
Torrent of light and river of air, Along whose bed the glimmering stars are seen, Like gold and silver sands in some ravine Where mountain streams have left their channels bare!
beautiful stars eye
I dislike an eye that twinkles like a star. Those only are beautiful which, like the planets, have a steady lambent light, are luminous, but not sparkling.
