At The wall's base The fiery nettle springs, With fruit globose and fierce with poison'd stings; In every chink delights The fern to grow, With glossy leaf and tawny bloom below: The few dull flowers that o'er The place are spread Partake The nature of Their fenny bed. These, with our sea-weeds, rolling up and down, Form The contracted flora of our town.  less

He restores my soul and makes me walk within The paths of righteousness for His name's sake Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale yet I will fear no evil for you are with me your rod and your staff comfort me still you have furnished my table in The presence of my foes my head you anoint with oil and my cup overflows Goodness and mercy all my life shall surely follow me and my dwelling place shall be in God's house evermore.  less
