He gazed at the flowers with tearful eyes, He kissed their drooping leaves ; It was for the Lord of Paradise He bound them in his sheaves.

By the green pastures, tended by the good Shepherd, linger the little lambs of the heavenly fold. " Two in heaven !" Earth less attractive. Eternity nearer. Invisible...
Página 186 - Vacates his seat any number of times at a crowded lecture, for distressed looking single ladies. Orders stupid cab-drivers off the only dry crossing, to save a pretty pair of feet from immersion, and don't forget to look the other way when their owner gathers up the skirts of her dress to trip across. Is just as civil to a shop-girl as if she were a Duchess; pays regularly for his newspaper, lends his umbrella and goes home with a wet beaver ; has a clear conscience, a good digestion, and believes...
