death stars eye
The Dead are like the stars by day; Withdrawn from mortal eye, But not extinct, they hold their way In glory through the sky.
eye blue hyacinths
Here hyacinths of heavenly blue, shook their rich tresses to the morn.
eye dark light
When evening closes Nature's eye, The glow-worm lights her little spark To captivate her favorite fly And tempt the rover through the dark.
flower eye air
Eagle of flowers! I see thee stand, And on the sun's noon-glory gaze; With eye like his, thy lids expand, And fringe their disk with golden rays: Though fix'd on earth, in darkness rooted there, Light is thy element, thy dwelling air, Thy prospect heaven.
eye sacrifice lambs
When to the cross I turn my eyes,And rest on Calvary,O Lamb of God, my sacrifice,I must remember Thee.
prayer fall eye
Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, Uttered or unexpressed, The motion of a hidden fire That trembles in the breast. Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear, The upward glancing of an eye When none but God is near.
flower eye sky
There is a flower, a little flower With silver crest and golden eye, That welcomes every changing hour, And weathers every sky.
friend hath hearts lost union
Friend after friend departs; who hath not lost a friend?There is no union here of hearts that hath not here its end.
friend hath hearts lost union
Friend after friend departs; who hath not lost a friend? There is no union here of hearts that hath not here its end.

Hope against hope, and ask till ye receive.

A lot of the schools are still coming pretty hard.
anyone except law speak urge
I would urge you not to speak to anyone except law enforcement or your attorney.
death moving home
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent, a day's march nearer home.
years heaven tears
Beyond this vale of tears there is a life above. unmeasured by the flight of years; and all that life is love.
