Quotes
The human heart has hidden treasures, In secret kept, in silence sealed; The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, Whose charms were broken if revealed. And days may pass in gay confusion, And nights in rosy riot fly, While, lost in Fame's or Wealth's illusion, The memory of the Past may die. But there are hours of lonely musing, Such as in evening silence come, When, soft as birds their pinions closing, The heart's best feelings gather home.
I love the silent hour of night, For blissful dreams may then arise, Revealing to my charmed sight What may not bless my waking eyes, And then a voice may meet my ear, That death has silenced long ago, And hope and rapture may appear, Instead of solitude and woe.
Like a wild beast, civilization has trampled on the soil of Africa, and, with the ferocity of a monster, has seized upon its people.
