When this poor lisping ordsprog
When this poor, lisping, stammering tongue/ Lies silent in the grave.
William Cowper

So live that when thy summons comes to join
The innumerable caravan that moves
To that mysterious realm, where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave,
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.
William Cullen Bryant

A flower unblown; a book unread; A tree with fruit unharvested; A path untrod - A landscape whose wide border lies In silent shade 'neath silent skies; A wondrous fountain yet unsealed; - This is the Year that for you waits Beyond to-morrow's mystic
Horatio Nelson

Älvor och féer
The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: / Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us? / For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
