Robert Montgomery Quotes About Heart

Quotes about: Heart

• Where beats a heart within a human breast,
  There be Thou present, and Thy power adored!
  And oh! since all one common race are doom'd
  To run, and one eternal goal to reach,
  May Thy prime attribute each bosom warm
  With tender sympathy and truth; may man
  To man be link'd to man in fellowship of soul,
  Till one vast chain of Love embrace the world!

• Say, care-worn man, Whom Duty chains within the city walls, Amid the toiling crowd, how grateful plays The fresh wind o’er thy sickly brow, when free To tread the springy turf,— to hear the trees Communing with the gales,—to catch the voice Of waters, gushing from their rocky womb, And singing as they wander... Spring-hours will come again, and feelings rise With dewy freshness o’er thy wither’d heart.
