Famous quotes containing the word cowper:

    O, popular applause! what heart of man
    Is proof against thy sweet, seducing charms?
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)

    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)

    Here may we prove the pow’r of pray’r,
    To strengthen faith, and sweeten care;
    To teach our faint desires to rise,
    And bring all heav’n before our eyes.
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)
