Cowper

Famous quotes containing the word cowper:

    I heard the bell tolled on thy burial day,
    I saw the hearse that bore thee slow away,
    And, turning from my nursery window, drew
    A long, long sigh, and wept a last adieu!
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)

    Oh! for a closer walk with God,
    A calm and heav’nly frame;
    A light to shine upon the road
    That leads me to the Lamb!
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)

    Once more I would adopt the graver style—
    A teacher should be sparing of his smile.
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)
