LOTHROP COMPANY. + + + + +SONGS +FROM THE SOUTH-LAND. + + + + +THE CLOSING YEAR. + +GEORGE D. PRENTICE. + + +'Tis midnight's holy hour, and silence now +Is brooding, like a gentle spirit o'er +The still and pulseless world. Hark! on the winds +The bell's deep tones are swelling; 'tis the knell +Of the departed year. No funeral train +Is sweeping past; yet, on the stream and wood, +With melancholy light, the moonbeams rest +Like a pale, spotless shroud; the air is stirred, +As by a mourner's sigh; and, on yon cloud, +That floats so still and placidly through heaven, +The spirits of the Seasons seem to stand. +Young Spring, bright Summer, Autumn's solemn form, +And Winter with its aged locks--and breathe +In mournful cadences, that come abroad, +Like the far windharps wild, touching wail, +A melancholy dirge o'er the dead year, +Gone from the earth forever. + + 'Tis a time +For memory and for tears. Within the deep, +Still chambers of the heart, a spectre dim, +Whose tones are like the wizard voice of time, +Heard from the tomb of ages, points its cold +And solemn finger to the beautiful +And holy visions, that have passed away, +And left no shadow of their loveliness +On the dead waste of life. The spectre lifts +The coffin-lid of Hope and Joy and Love, +And bending mournfully above the pale, +Sweet forms that slumber there, scatters dead flowers +O'er what has passed to nothingness. + + The year +Has gone, and with it many a glorious throng +Of happy dreams. Its mark is on each brow, +Its shadow in each heart. In its swift course, +It waved its sceptre o'er the beautiful; +And they are not. It laid its pallid hand +Upon the strong man: and the haughty form +Is fallen, and the flashing eye is dim. +It trod the hall of revelry, where thronged +The bright and joyous; and the tearful wail +Of stricken ones is heard, where erst the song +And reckless shout resounded. It passed o'er +The battle plain, where sword, and spear and shield, +Flashed in the light of midday; and the strength +Of serried hosts is shivered, and the grass, +Green from the soil of carnage, waves above +The crushed and mouldering skeleton. It came, +And faded like a wreath of mist at eve; +Yet, ere it melted in the viewless air, +It heralded its millions to their home, +In the dim land of dreams. + + Remorseless time! +Fierce spirit of the glass and scythe! What power +Can stay him in his silent course, or melt +His iron heart to pity! On, still on, +He presses and forever. The proud bird, +The Condor of the Andes, that can soar +Through heaven's unfathomable depths, or brave +The fury of the northing hurricane, +And bath its plumage in the thunder's home +Furls his broad wing at nightfall, and sinks down +To rest upon his mountain crag; but Time +Knows not the weight of sleep or weariness, +And Night's deep darkness has no chain to bind +His rushing pinion. + + Revolutions sweep +O'er earth, like troubled visions o'er the breast +Of dreaming sorrow; cities rise and sink +Like bubbles on the water; fiery isles +Spring blazing from the ocean, and go back +To their mysterious caverns; mountains rear +To heaven their bold and blackened cliffs, and bow +Their tall heads to the plain; and empires rise, +Gathering the strength of hoary centuries, +And rush down, like the Alpine avalanche, +Startling the nations; and the very stars, +Yon bright and glorious blazonry of God, +Glitter awhile in their eternal depths, +And like the Pleiad, loveliest of their train, +Shoot from their glorious spheres, and pass away +To darkle in the trackless void; yet Time, +Time, the tomb-builder, holds his fierce career, +Dark, stern, all pitiless, and pauses not +Amid the mighty wrecks that strew his path, +To sit and muse, like other conquerors, +Upon the fearful ruin he hath wrought. + + + + +CHRISTMAS. [1864.] + +HENRY TIMROD. + + + How grace this hallowed day? +Shall happy bells, from yonder ancient spire, +Send their glad greetings to each Christmas fire + Round which the children play? + + .... + + How shall we grace the day? +Ah! Let the thought that on this holy morn +The Prince of Peace-the Prince of Peace was born, + Employ us, while we pray! + + Pray for the peace which long +Hath left this tortured land, and haply now +Holds its white court on some far mountain's brow, + There hardly safe from wrong! + + Let every sacred fane +Call its sad votaries to the shrine of God, +And, with the cloister and the tented sod, + Join in one solemn strain! + + He, who, till time shall cease, +Will watch that earth, where once, not all in vain, +He died to give us peace, may not disdain + A prayer whose theme is--peace. + + Perhaps ere yet the Spring +Hath died into the Summer, over all +The land, the Peace of His vast love shall fall, + Like some protecting wing. + + Oh, ponder what it means! +Oh, turn the rapturous thought in every way! +Oh, give the vision and the fancy play, + And shape the coming scenes! + + Peace in the quiet dales, +Made rankly fertile by the blood of men, +Peace in the woodland, and the lonely glen, + Peace in the peopled vales! + + Peace in the crowded town, +Peace in the thousand fields of waving grain, +Peace in the highway and the flowery lane, + Peace on the wind-swept down! + + Peace on the farthest seas, +Peace in our sheltered bays and ample streams, +Peace whereso'er our starry garland gleams; + And peace in every breeze! + + Peace on the whirring marts, +Peace where the scholar thinks--the hunter roams, +Peace, God of Peace! Peace, peace, in all our homes, + And peace in all our hearts! + +[Illustration: "Peace in the quiet dales + Made rankly fertile by the blood of men."] + + + + +LA BELLE JUIVE. + +HENRY TIMROD. + + +Is it because your sable hair +Is folded over brows that wear +At times a too imperial air; + +Or is it that the thoughts which rise +In those dark orbs do seek disguise +Beneath the lids of Eastern eyes; + +That choose whatever pose or place +May chance to please, in you I trace +The noblest woman of your race? + +The crowd is sauntering at its ease, +And humming like a hive of bees-- +You take your seat and touch the keys: + +I do not hear the giddy throng; +The sea avenges Israel's wrong, +And on the mind floats Miriam's song! + +You join me with a stately grace; +Music to Poesy gives place; +Some grand emotion lights your face: + +At once I stand by Mizpeh's walls; +With smiles the martyred daughter falls, +And desolate are Mizpeh's halls! + +Intrusive babblers come between; +With calm, pale brow and lofty mein, +You thread the circle like a queen! + +Then sweeps the royal Esther by; +The deep devotion in her eye, +Is looking "If I die, I die!" + +You stroll the gardener's flowery walks; +The plants to me are grainless stalks, +And Ruth to old Naomi talks. + +Adopted child of Judah's creed, +Like Judah's daughters, true at need, +I see you mid the alien seed. + +I watch afar the gleaner sweet; +I watch like Boaz in the wheat, +And find you lying at my feet. + +My feet! Oh! if the spell that lures, +My heart through all these dreams endures, +How soon shall I be stretched at yours! + + + + +TO HELEN. + +EDGAR ALLAN POE. + + +Helen, thy beauty is to me + Like those Nicean barks of yore, +That gently, o'er a perfumed sea, + The weary, way-worn wanderer bore + To his own native shore. + +On desperate seas long wont to roam, + Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face, +Thy Naiad airs have brought me home + To the glory that was Greece +And the grandeur that was Rome. + +Lo! in yon brilliant window-niche + How statue-like I see thee stand! + The agate lamp within thy hand, +Ah! Psyche, from the regions which + Are Holy Land! + + + + +A CHRISTMAS CHANT. + +FATHER RYAN. + + +Four thousand years earth waited, + Four thousand years men prayed, +Four thousand years the nations sighed + That their King so long delayed. + +The prophets told His coming, + The saintly for Him sighed; +And the star of the Babe of Bethlehem + Shone o'er them when they died. + +Their faces toward the future, + They longed to hail the light +That in the after centuries + Would rise on Christmas night. + +But still the Saviour tarried, + Within His father's home; +And the nations wept and wondered why + The promise had not come. + +At last earth's hope was granted, + And God was a child of earth; +And a thousand angels chanted + The lowly midnight birth. + +Ah! Bethlehem was grander + That hour than paradise; +And the light of earth that night eclipsed + The splendour of the skies. + +Then let us sing the anthem, + The angels once did sing; +Until the music of love and praise + O'er whole wide world will ring. + + Glory in excelsis! + Sound the thrilling song; + In excelsis Deo! + Roll the hymn along. + +[Illustration: Then let us sing the anthem + The angels once did sing.] + + Glory in excelsis! + Let the heavens ring; + In excelsis Deo! + Welcome, new-born King. + Gloria in excelsis! + Over the sea and land, + In excelsis Deo! + Chant the anthem grand. + Gloria in excelsis! + Let us all rejoice! + In excelsis Deo! + Lift each heart and voice. + Gloria in excelsis! + Swell the hymn on high; + In excelsis Deo! + Sound it to the sky. + Gloria in excelsis! + Sing it sinful earth. + In excelsis Deo! + For the Saviour's birth. + +Thus joyful and victoriously, +Glad and ever so gloriously, +High as the heavens, wide as the earth, +Swelleth the hymn of the Saviour's birth. + + + + +THE VOICE IN THE PINES. + +PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE. + + +The morn is softly beautiful and still, + Its light, fair clouds in pencilled gold and gray +Pause motionless above the pine-grown hill, +Where the pines, tranced as by a wizard's will, + Uprise as mute and motionless as they! + +Yea! mute and moveless; not one flickering spray + Flashed into sunlight, nor a gaunt bough stirred; +Yet, if wooed hence beneath those pines to stray, +We catch a faint, thin murmur far away, + A bodiless voice, by grosser ears unheard. + +What voice is this? What low and solemn tone, + Which, though all wings of all the winds seemed furled, +Nor even the zephyr's fairy flute is blown, +Makes thus forever its mysterious moan + From out the whispering pine-tops' shadowy world? + +Ah! can it be the antique tales are true? + Doth some lone Dryad haunt the breezeless air, +Fronting yon bright immitigable blue, +And wildly breathing all her wild soul through + That strange unearthly music of despair? + +Or can it be that ages since, storm-tossed, + And driven far inland from the roaring lea, +Some baffled ocean-spirit, worn and lost, +Here, through dry summer's dearth and winter's frost, + Yearns for the sharp, sweet kisses of the sea? + +Whate'er the spell, I harken and am dumb, + Dream-touched, and musing in the tranquil morn; +All woodland sounds--the pheasant's gusty drum, +The mock-bird's fugue, the droning insect's hum-- + Scarce heard for that strange, sorrowful voice forlorn! + +Beneath the drowsèd sense, from deep to deep + Of spiritual life its mournful minor flows, +Streamlike, with pensive tide, whose currents keep +Low murmuring 'twixt the bounds of grief and sleep, + Yet locked for aye for sleep's divine repose. + + + + +ASPECTS OF THE PINES. + +PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE. + + +Tall, sombre, grim, against the morning sky + They rise, scarce touched by melancholy airs, +Which stir the fadeless foliage dreamfully, + As if from realms of mystical despairs. + +Tall, sombre, grim, they stand with dusky gleams + Brightening to gold within the woodland's core, +Beneath the gracious noontide's tranquil beams-- + But the weird winds of morning sigh no more. + +A stillness, strange, divine, ineffable, + Broods round and o'er them in the wind's surcease, +And on each tinted copse and shimmering dell + Rests the mute rapture of deep-hearted peace. + +Last, sunset comes--the solemn joy and might + Borne from the West when cloudless day declines-- +Low, flutelike breezes sweep the waves of light, + And lifting dark green tresses of the pines, + +Till every lock is luminous--gently float, + Fraught with hale odors up the heavens afar +To faint when twilight on her virginal throat + Wears for a gem the tremulous vesper star. + +[Illustration: "Tall, sombre, grim, they stand with dusky gleam + Brightening to gold within the woodland's core."] + + + + +IN HARBOR. + +PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE. + + +I think it is over, over, + I think it is over at last, +Voices of foeman and lover, + The sweet and the bitter have passed-- +Life, like a tempest of ocean + Hath outblown its ultimate blast. +There's but a faint sobbing seaward +While the calm of the tide deepens leeward, +And behold! like the welcoming quiver +Of heart-pulses throbbed thro' the river, + Those lights in the harbor at last, + The heavenly harbor at last! + +I feel it is over! over! + For the winds and the waters surcease; +Ah! few were the days of the rover + That smiled in the beauty of peace! +And distant and dim was the omen + That hinted redress or release. +From the ravage of life, and its riot +What marvel I yearn for the quiet + Which bides in the harbor at last? +For the lights with their welcoming quiver +That through the sanctified river + Which girdles the harbor at last, + This heavenly harbor at last? + +I _know_ it is over, over, + I know it is over at last! +Down sail! the sheathed anchor uncover, + For the stress of the voyage has passed-- +Life, like a tempest of ocean + Hath outbreathed its ultimate blast. +There's but a faint sobbing seaward, +While the calm of the tide deepens leeward; +And behold! like the welcoming quiver +Of heart-pulses throbbed thro' the river, + Those lights in the harbor at last, + The heavenly harbor at last! + + * * * * * + + + + +Transcriber's Notes + +Spelling, hyphenation, and punctuation inconsistencies have been +retained from the original book. + +Page 10: This is a shortened version of Henry Timrod's poem, and the +four dots represent lines missing from the full version. + + + + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Songs from the Southland, by Various + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK SONGS FROM THE SOUTHLAND *** + +***** This file should be named 26445-8.txt or 26445-8.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/2/6/4/4/26445/ + +Produced by David Garcia, Diane Monico, and the Online +Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This +file was produced from images generously made available +by The Kentuckiana Digital Library) + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/26445-8.zip b/26445-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..351b607 --- /dev/null +++ b/26445-8.zip diff --git a/26445-h.zip b/26445-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..37773d8 --- /dev/null +++ b/26445-h.zip diff --git a/26445-h/26445-h.htm b/26445-h/26445-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..855bc49 --- /dev/null +++ b/26445-h/26445-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,1067 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> + +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> + <head> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" /> + <title> + The Project Gutenberg eBook of Songs from the Southland, by Sarah Frances Price. + </title> + <style type="text/css"> +/*<![CDATA[ XML blockout */ +<!-- + p { margin-top: .75em; + text-align: justify; + margin-bottom: .75em; + } + h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 { + text-align: center; /* all headings centered */ + clear: both; + } + hr { width: 33%; + margin-top: 2em; + margin-bottom: 2em; + margin-left: auto; + margin-right: auto; + clear: both; + } + + body{margin-left: 10%; + margin-right: 10%; + } + + .pagenum { /* uncomment the next line for invisible page numbers */ + /* visibility: hidden; */ + position: absolute; + left: 92%; + font-size: smaller; + text-align: right; + } /* page numbers */ + + + .center {text-align: center;} + .smcap {font-variant: small-caps;} + .u {text-decoration: underline;} + + .caption {font-weight: bold;} + + .figcenter {margin: auto; text-align: center;} + + + .poem {margin-left:10%; margin-right:10%; text-align: left;} + .poem br {display: none;} + .poem .stanza {margin: 1em 0em 1em 0em;} + .poem span.i0 {display: block; margin-left: 0em; padding-left: 3em; text-indent: -3em;} + .poem span.i1 {display: block; margin-left: 1em; padding-left: 3em; text-indent: -3em;} + .poem span.i2 {display: block; margin-left: 2em; padding-left: 3em; text-indent: -3em;} + .poem span.i4 {display: block; margin-left: 4em; padding-left: 3em; text-indent: -3em;} + .poem span.i8 {display: block; margin-left: 8em; padding-left: 3em; text-indent: -3em;} + // --> + /* XML end ]]>*/ + </style> + </head> +<body> + + +<pre> + +The Project Gutenberg EBook of Songs from the Southland, by Various + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +https://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/26445-h/images/image001.jpg b/26445-h/images/image001.jpg Binary files differnew file mode

LOTHROP COMPANY. + + + + +SONGS +FROM THE SOUTH-LAND. + + + + +THE CLOSING YEAR. + +GEORGE D. PRENTICE. + + +'Tis midnight's holy hour, and silence now +Is brooding, like a gentle spirit o'er +The still and pulseless world. Hark! on the winds +The bell's deep tones are swelling; 'tis the knell +Of the departed year. No funeral train +Is sweeping past; yet, on the stream and wood, +With melancholy light, the moonbeams rest +Like a pale, spotless shroud; the air is stirred, +As by a mourner's sigh; and, on yon cloud, +That floats so still and placidly through heaven, +The spirits of the Seasons seem to stand. +Young Spring, bright Summer, Autumn's solemn form, +And Winter with its aged locks--and breathe +In mournful cadences, that come abroad, +Like the far windharps wild, touching wail, +A melancholy dirge o'er the dead year, +Gone from the earth forever. + + 'Tis a time +For memory and for tears. Within the deep, +Still chambers of the heart, a spectre dim, +Whose tones are like the wizard voice of time, +Heard from the tomb of ages, points its cold +And solemn finger to the beautiful +And holy visions, that have passed away, +And left no shadow of their loveliness +On the dead waste of life. The spectre lifts +The coffin-lid of Hope and Joy and Love, +And bending mournfully above the pale, +Sweet forms that slumber there, scatters dead flowers +O'er what has passed to nothingness. + + The year +Has gone, and with it many a glorious throng +Of happy dreams. Its mark is on each brow, +Its shadow in each heart. In its swift course, +It waved its sceptre o'er the beautiful; +And they are not. It laid its pallid hand +Upon the strong man: and the haughty form +Is fallen, and the flashing eye is dim. +It trod the hall of revelry, where thronged +The bright and joyous; and the tearful wail +Of stricken ones is heard, where erst the song +And reckless shout resounded. It passed o'er +The battle plain, where sword, and spear and shield, +Flashed in the light of midday; and the strength +Of serried hosts is shivered, and the grass, +Green from the soil of carnage, waves above +The crushed and mouldering skeleton. It came, +And faded like a wreath of mist at eve; +Yet, ere it melted in the viewless air, +It heralded its millions to their home, +In the dim land of dreams. + + Remorseless time! +Fierce spirit of the glass and scythe! What power +Can stay him in his silent course, or melt +His iron heart to pity! On, still on, +He presses and forever. The proud bird, +The Condor of the Andes, that can soar +Through heaven's unfathomable depths, or brave +The fury of the northing hurricane, +And bath its plumage in the thunder's home +Furls his broad wing at nightfall, and sinks down +To rest upon his mountain crag; but Time +Knows not the weight of sleep or weariness, +And Night's deep darkness has no chain to bind +His rushing pinion. + + Revolutions sweep +O'er earth, like troubled visions o'er the breast +Of dreaming sorrow; cities rise and sink +Like bubbles on the water; fiery isles +Spring blazing from the ocean, and go back +To their mysterious caverns; mountains rear +To heaven their bold and blackened cliffs, and bow +Their tall heads to the plain; and empires rise, +Gathering the strength of hoary centuries, +And rush down, like the Alpine avalanche, +Startling the nations; and the very stars, +Yon bright and glorious blazonry of God, +Glitter awhile in their eternal depths, +And like the Pleiad, loveliest of their train, +Shoot from their glorious spheres, and pass away +To darkle in the trackless void; yet Time, +Time, the tomb-builder, holds his fierce career, +Dark, stern, all pitiless, and pauses not +Amid the mighty wrecks that strew his path, +To sit and muse, like other conquerors, +Upon the fearful ruin he hath wrought. + + + + +CHRISTMAS.

Let the thought that on this holy morn +The Prince of Peace-the Prince of Peace was born, + Employ us, while we pray! + + Pray for the peace which long +Hath left this tortured land, and haply now +Holds its white court on some far mountain's brow, + There hardly safe from wrong! + + Let every sacred fane +Call its sad votaries to the shrine of God, +And, with the cloister and the tented sod, + Join in one solemn strain! + + He, who, till time shall cease, +Will watch that earth, where once, not all in vain, +He died to give us peace, may not disdain + A prayer whose theme is--peace. + + Perhaps ere yet the Spring +Hath died into the Summer, over all +The land, the Peace of His vast love shall fall, + Like some protecting wing. + + Oh, ponder what it means! +Oh, turn the rapturous thought in every way! +Oh, give the vision and the fancy play, + And shape the coming scenes! + + Peace in the quiet dales, +Made rankly fertile by the blood of men, +Peace in the woodland, and the lonely glen, + Peace in the peopled vales! + + Peace in the crowded town, +Peace in the thousand fields of waving grain, +Peace in the highway and the flowery lane, + Peace on the wind-swept down! + + Peace on the farthest seas, +Peace in our sheltered bays and ample streams, +Peace whereso'er our starry garland gleams; + And peace in every breeze! + + Peace on the whirring marts, +Peace where the scholar thinks--the hunter roams, +Peace, God of Peace!

Bethlehem was grander + That hour than paradise; +And the light of earth that night eclipsed + The splendour of the skies. + +Then let us sing the anthem, + The angels once did sing; +Until the music of love and praise + O'er whole wide world will ring. + + Glory in excelsis! + Sound the thrilling song; + In excelsis Deo! + Roll the hymn along. + +[Illustration: Then let us sing the anthem + The angels once did sing.] + + Glory in excelsis! + Let the heavens ring; + In excelsis Deo! + Welcome, new-born King. + Gloria in excelsis! + Over the sea and land, + In excelsis Deo! + Chant the anthem grand. + Gloria in excelsis! + Let us all rejoice! + In excelsis Deo! + Lift each heart and voice. + Gloria in excelsis! + Swell the hymn on high; + In excelsis Deo! + Sound it to the sky. + Gloria in excelsis! + Sing it sinful earth. + In excelsis Deo! + For the Saviour's birth. + +Thus joyful and victoriously, +Glad and ever so gloriously, +High as the heavens, wide as the earth, +Swelleth the hymn of the Saviour's birth. + + + + +THE VOICE IN THE PINES. + +PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE. + + +The morn is softly beautiful and still, + Its light, fair clouds in pencilled gold and gray +Pause motionless above the pine-grown hill, +Where the pines, tranced as by a wizard's will, + Uprise as mute and motionless as they! + +Yea! mute and moveless; not one flickering spray + Flashed into sunlight, nor a gaunt bough stirred; +Yet, if wooed hence beneath those pines to stray, +We catch a faint, thin murmur far away, + A bodiless voice, by grosser ears unheard. + +What voice is this? What low and solemn tone, + Which, though all wings of all the winds seemed furled, +Nor even the zephyr's fairy flute is blown, +Makes thus forever its mysterious moan + From out the whispering pine-tops' shadowy world? + +Ah! can it be the antique tales are true? + Doth some lone Dryad haunt the breezeless air, +Fronting yon bright immitigable blue, +And wildly breathing all her wild soul through + That strange unearthly music of despair? + +Or can it be that ages since, storm-tossed, + And driven far inland from the roaring lea, +Some baffled ocean-spirit, worn and lost, +Here, through dry summer's dearth and winter's frost, + Yearns for the sharp, sweet kisses of the sea? + +Whate'er the spell, I harken and am dumb, + Dream-touched, and musing in the tranquil morn; +All woodland sounds--the pheasant's gusty drum, +The mock-bird's fugue, the droning insect's hum-- + Scarce heard for that strange, sorrowful voice forlorn! + +Beneath the drowsed sense, from deep to deep + Of spiritual life its mournful minor flows, +Streamlike, with pensive tide, whose currents keep +Low murmuring 'twixt the bounds of grief and sleep, + Yet locked for aye for sleep's divine repose. + + + + +ASPECTS OF THE PINES. + +PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE. + + +Tall, sombre, grim, against the morning sky + They rise, scarce touched by melancholy airs, +Which stir the fadeless foliage dreamfully, + As if from realms of mystical despairs. + +Tall, sombre, grim, they stand with dusky gleams + Brightening to gold within the woodland's core, +Beneath the gracious noontide's tranquil beams-- + But the weird winds of morning sigh no more. + +A stillness, strange, divine, ineffable, + Broods round and o'er them in the wind's surcease, +And on each tinted copse and shimmering dell + Rests the mute rapture of deep-hearted peace. + +Last, sunset comes--the solemn joy and might + Borne from the West when cloudless day declines-- +Low, flutelike breezes sweep the waves of light, + And lifting dark green tresses of the pines, + +Till every lock is luminous--gently float, + Fraught with hale odors up the heavens afar +To faint when twilight on her virginal throat + Wears for a gem the tremulous vesper star. + +[Illustration: "Tall, sombre, grim, they stand with dusky gleam + Brightening to gold within the woodland's core."] + + + + +IN HARBOR. + +PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE. + + +I think it is over, over, + I think it is over at last, +Voices of foeman and lover, + The sweet and the bitter have passed-- +Life, like a tempest of ocean + Hath outblown its ultimate blast. +There's but a faint sobbing seaward +While the calm of the tide deepens leeward, +And behold! like the welcoming quiver +Of heart-pulses throbbed thro' the river, + Those lights in the harbor at last, + The heavenly harbor at last! + +I feel it is over! over! + For the winds and the waters surcease; +Ah! few were the days of the rover + That smiled in the beauty of peace! +And distant and dim was the omen + That hinted redress or release. +From the ravage of life, and its riot +What marvel I yearn for the quiet + Which bides in the harbor at last? +For the lights with their welcoming quiver +That through the sanctified river + Which girdles the harbor at last, + This heavenly harbor at last? + +I _know_ it is over, over, + I know it is over at last! +Down sail! the sheathed anchor uncover, + For the stress of the voyage has passed-- +Life, like a tempest of ocean + Hath outbreathed its ultimate blast. +There's but a faint sobbing seaward, +While the calm of the tide deepens leeward; +And behold! like the welcoming quiver +Of heart-pulses throbbed thro' the river, + Those lights in the harbor at last, + The heavenly harbor at last! + + * * * * * + + + + +Transcriber's Notes + +Spelling, hyphenation, and punctuation inconsistencies have been +retained from the original book. + +Page 10: This is a shortened version of Henry Timrod's poem, and the +four dots represent lines missing from the full version. + + + + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Songs from the Southland, by Various + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK SONGS FROM THE SOUTHLAND *** + +***** This file should be named 26445.txt or 26445.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/2/6/4/4/26445/ + +Produced by David Garcia, Diane Monico, and the Online +Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This +file was produced from images generously made available +by The Kentuckiana Digital Library) + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.
