Blue thou art, intensely blue; Flower, whence came thy dazzling hue?
James Montgomery
Hope against hope, and ask till ye receive.
Eternity: a moment standing still for ever.
The Dove, on silver pinions, winged her peaceful way.
Fairest and best adorned is she Whose clothing is humility.
'Tis human actions paint the chart of time.
Here hyacinths of heavenly blue, shook their rich tresses to the morn.
Joys too exquisite to last, And yet more exquisite when past.
