Maxioms by Lord Alfred Tennyson
The slow, sweet hours that bring us all things good.
The slow, sweet hours that bring us all things good.
When I was a shepherd on the plains of Assyria.
When I was a shepherd on the plains of Assyria.
The sabbaths of Eternity.
One sabbath deep and wide.
The sabbaths of Eternity.
One sabbath deep and wide.
. . . but while
I breathe Heaven's air, and Heaven looks down on me,
And smiles read more
. . . but while
I breathe Heaven's air, and Heaven looks down on me,
And smiles at my best meanings, I remain
Mistress of mine own self and mine own soul.
Better not to be at all
Than not to be noble.
Better not to be at all
Than not to be noble.
