Additional quotes by Reginald Heber

Failed the bright promise of your early day?

No hammers fell, no ponderous axes rung; Like some tall palm the mystic fabric sprung. Majestic silence!

Beneath our feet and o'er our head Is equal warning given: Beneath us lie the countless dead, Above us is the heaven! Death rides on every passing breeze, And lurks in every flower; Each season has its own disease, Its peril every hour.

I see them on their winding way, About their ranks the moonbeams play. - Reginald Heber
