- Azure petals like yon myrtle - Touch thy nutbrown hair. - - (CHORUS) - - Wistful eyes of violet shade, - Tinting morn’s own dew, - Love pure as thine could never fade, - Grown in heart so true. - - (CHORUS) - - Blossoms adored by thee, sweetheart, - Flourish but a day, - One smile thou canst to me impart, - Lendeth hope alway. - - (CHORUS) - - - - -SONG OF THE BEE - - - Buzz! buzz! - You’re just a honey-bee, - Yet a simple song you say, - Turneth work into play. - - Buzz! buzz! - As flitting here and there, - Among the flowers by the way, - Work turneth to play. - - Buzz! buzz! - While seeking clover sweet - For its nectar thru the day, - Work turneth to play. - - Buzz! buzz! - A lesson true you’d teach, - A song in the heart alway, - Turneth work into play. - - - - -THE GOLDFINCH - - - Oh, tiny goldfinch richly clad, - Your joyousness bespeaks the morn, - Whose beauty tends to make you glad, - And eager just that you were born. - - You dart about o’er crag and moor, - To us bequeath your choicest boon, - Your silvery note so soft and pure, - A simple, mellow twitter-tune. - - You ride away on rippling crest, - Over hill and stony shallow, - You seek the thorny thistle-pest, - As it thrives on field and fallow. - - Your sheaves of down you garner in, - And store them in your covert-mow, - Away from human noise and din, - To fluff your nest in bush or bough. - - The Hoary Alder catkin-hung, - Where tinkling waters wander round, - And Marigold is Music’s tongue, - Here holds your cup in fork fast-bound; - - A leafy canopy of green, - Above eggs touched by sea and sky, - Which ling’ringly, you laid unseen, - Save by the pale Day-moon on high. - - - - -BONNY BUNNY - - - Bonny bunny! - Tracks so funny! - Playing round our cottage door, - Fruits and food are here a-plenty, - Laid away for winter’s store. - - Bonny bunny! - Tracks so funny! - Whiter even than the snow, - As it dances all about you, - Have a pear before you go. - - Bonny bunny! - Tracks so funny! - Why are you so timid, pray! - Cold will soon be fast upon us, - Let’s be friends, don’t run away. - - - - -WHEN SNOWFLAKES FALL - - - I love you in the springtime, - Still I love you in the fall, - And I love you in the winter, - With the snowflakes merry call. - - Yes, I love you best of all - With the snowflakes as they fall, - While the winters biting cold, - Makes me sense a warmth untold. - - Then I love you in glad summer, - When birds and flowers breathe cheer, - To me this seems the gladdest time - Of all the season’s year. - - But I love you best of all, - With the snowflakes as they fall, - While the winter’s biting cold - Makes me sense a warmth untold. - - - - -OUR COW - - - Our Jersey cow is just as kind - And friendly as can be, - A wisp of hay I hand to her, - She gives her milk to me. - - All day she tramps the meadow grass, - And browses on the hill, - She seems to like the clover best, - While wand’ring at her will. - - Moo! moo! she always seems to say, - She never minds the showers, - We children love to hear her low, - Thru all the pleasant hours. - - - - -ODE TO A BROOK - - - I wish I were a stream, O brook! - If but for a single day, - Then would we wander on and on, - While rippling a roundelay. - - I wish I were a stream, O brook! - Just to sense all you would say, - Then could we wander on and on, - Still babbling along our way. - - I wish I were a stream, O brook! - Each forest-flower I’d know, - Like wild birds we’d sail on and on, - Joyfully prattling we’d go. - - I wish I were a stream, O brook! - We’d wind thru lane and lea, - Playfully gurgling on and on, - Till at last we’d reach the sea. - - - - -CONSECRATION - - - “Give God the glory,” ’tis thus speaks my soul, - “Take thou my life, Lord, in sweetest control; - When blinding storms of sorrow assail me, - Oh, thou! who didst walk on blue Galilee, - Beneath thy rich mantle sheltered I’d be. - - Dub thou me knight, Lord, our most holy King, - While rend’ring thee service, trophies I’d bring, - If mid life’s fray thou wouldst call me today, - Oh, Christ! who canst raise the fallen, lift me, - To bask in thy presence eternally. - - Truth as the emblem, ’tis right royally, - Under her flag, firm, united we’d be, - Dark powers of might at thy Word prostrate lie, - While blazoned with love our banner waves high, - In homage to him who reigneth--the King. - - - - -ENCHANTMENT - - - Ethereal bursts yon morn, bluebirds awake, - Joy-notes break forth, Heav’n born, for love’s sweet sake, - Thy face, in waking dreams, reveals the day, - Sunlight in beauty streams, pointing the way. - - ’Tis but a dainty flower I bring to you, - Bathed in celestial light, mingled with dew, - Still deeply rooted in this heart so true, - Is wealth the world holds not, treasured in you. - - Fairest of all the bloom I proffer thee, - Plucked from yon garden rare, Sincerity; - Pure bud of enduring love, shield thou me, - And bear my soul to God in chastity. - - - - -LIFE’S DAY - - - Thou Sun! whose smile wreathes early Morn, - A cheerful light to those forlorn, - And dries the dripping eyes of dawn, - Bless Life’s fleet day ere she be gone. - - Teach her to shine as unto thee, - A lesser light as needs must be, - A ray bent toward lonely places, - Sun! whose beams reflect glad faces. - - I ask when Life’s young day is done, - E’en as thy afterglow, O Sun! - I might bequeath one worthy song, - A candle in a world of wrong. - - - - -FOR YOU - - - The golden sun sinks - On a bosom of blue, - A-smiling for you; - While each bird in the nest - Lulls her tired brood to rest, - A-crooning for you. - - The weed-blossoms blow - Full as wild flowers do, - A-blooming for you; - ’T is my heart casts a spell, - Sets the plants in the dell - A-springing for you. - - A moth of the night - Is my love--ever true, - A-winging for you; - Like yon firefly it glows, - As it kindleth anew - A-longing for you. - - - - -DISTANCE - - - Sometimes when western lamps burn low, - I feel thee near, tho thou art far, - Doth parting heal I long to know, - Or distance deeper brand the scar. - - Sometimes when chill the winds that blow, - Thy spirit calms the atmosphere, - A zephyr heartstrings’ lyric bow, - Warm strains of melody I hear. - - Sometimes when in the evening glow, - My soul seems interlocked with thine, - While artful shadows come and go, - I pause to quaff a drink divine. - - - - -ALONE - - - ’Tis midnight! - One lone star stands a fiery sentinel, - Whose eagle eye portrayeth silence well, - Keeping watch! - - ’Tis midnight! - The screechowl’s plaintive scream pierces the gloom, - Alone goes she forth from her cavern tomb, - Making moan! - - ’Tis midnight! - Wrapt in the mourning garment of despair, - One thot “Alone” enshrouds the mystic air, - Unsought! - - ’Tis midnight! - A doleful bell peals forth its dismal dirge, - Alone--dim spectres tread that haunted verge - Death’s own. - - - - -WINTER - - - Bleak and chill! - Bleak and chill! - Winter winds are bound to blow, - Thru the valley, o’er the hill - At their will. - - Winter wind! - Do be kind! - I know little children four - The wolf stands ever howling - At their door. - - Winter wind! - Oh, be kind! - Just to those who lack for food, - You devour their scanty fuel - In such mood. - - Bleak and chill! - Bleak and chill! - Tho your winds must ever blow, - Teach the heart of him who hath - All the woe. - - - - -LOVE’S MESSAGE - - - Apple blossoms everywhere! - White wings sailing scented air, - To fairyland--on vernal breeze; - Art thou wafting love’s message-- - From the trees? - - - - -MY TRIBUTE - - - Thou master! deftly as Nature herself, - Awakes yon sleeping bud in early spring, - E’en neath thy gentler, guileless touch, methinks - A soul opes wide, ’tis Music’s wakening. - - Thou, shapen in clay, art by Heav’n moulded, - Thru thee I sense both human and divine, - This, God’s gift, within thyself enfolded, - Pervades the air my spirit breathes of thine. - - Bear me afar, beyond majestic portal, - Down loyal Art’s lost corridor of Time, - Human-hearted soul, echo immortal, - Lead thou me inspired by living notes sublime. - - - - -HEARTBLOOM - - - When love is there, one asks not whence he came, - Enough to know the wealth he doth bestow; - A budding heart blossoms, then bursts the same, - Whether in realm of high estate or low. - - Crimson the flow’r, touched by the life it gives, - Rooted in works of faith, love ever lives, - Aglow with thrilling warmth of sentiment, - Each soul becomes a fount of sweet content. - - The bloom, crushed, turns to Mother Earth once more, - Anew seeketh strength in rising as before; - Tho years of healing help to right the wrong, - A bleeding heart can never beat as strong. - - - - -DEATH’S SPECTRE - - - Buoyant like the waves our spirits, - Borne eastward by the foaming brine, - Till the band in lazy ripples, - Set drifting shoreward “Auld Lang Syne.” - - Smile for smile, amid tear for tear, - Lavished in love that fateful day, - While frothing billows furtively, - Tossed high their caps in mirthful play. - - A frown soon crost the gleaming sky, - Darker and graver it became, - Glow’ring wrath then fell from on high, - Her anger struck our ship aflame. - - A host of patient suppliants, - With penitence each heart did burn, - Crash! one seething surge broke o’er us, - Rending asunder bow from stern. - - Does God still live where torment dwells, - Thou branded spectre of the night, - I challenge Peace, if Peace be God, - To throttle Hell, who seemeth might. - - - - -DREAMING - - - Mid each glimmer of sunlight, - On the early morning dew, - Refreshing thots came trooping, - Old-time memories and you. - - I could hear thy footsteps falling, - Doubt in sleep all cast asunder, - Dreaming of thee, ever dreaming, - Lost in love I ceased to wonder. - - ’Twas the bluebird’s lyric note, - Welcomed me to light of day, - With thy kiss upon my lips, - Wrapt in ecstasy I lay. - - - - -SAILING - - - Only last night, - My life! my light! - Sailing the sea ’neath silent moon, - This heart sent thee its sovereign boon; - Thy spirit seemed one glorious gem, - Set in a royal diadem. - Come thou to me, - Over the sea! - - Growl and grumble! - Fume and mumble! - Madcaps! let Fury lead the way, - Our loyal ship will reach the bay, - Peace caroleth her song of cheer, - Where love abides there is no fear, - Toss and tumble! - Rage and rumble! - - Sing foaming sea, - Sing thou to me! - Praise love in modest litany, - Swell forth one mighty symphony, - Till God’s exultant hosts reply, - Swing low! then high! - Rest draweth nigh! - Breathe yawning Deep, - The breath of Sleep. - - - - -FISHIN’ - - - Would you blame a feller any, - If the sun was all aglow, - If his pa had gone to meetin’, - An’ his ma was soon to go. - - Then if his ma had rigged him out - In togs for Sunday-school, - If his chum came by and argued - ’Twas no need to go by rule. - - Is there really any harm, - If a feller does no wrong, - But jus’ takes his fishin’ tackle - An’ goes marchin’ straight along; - - Jus’ to where the fish are bitin’ - At a mos’ outlandish rate, - Could you blame a feller any - ’Cause he went to diggin’ bait. - - Could you blame a feller’s daddy, - Should he make a solemn vow, - That his sonny’d get a trouncin’, - Tho ’twould start a family row; - - When to class the kids came troopin’, - Every feller, all save one, - When he found the fishin’ tackle - To be missin’--like his son. - - “To think,” says he, “a son of mine - Would break the Sabbath day, - He’ll cause this head to bow in shame - While trudgin’ earth’s highway.” - - Then a righteous rage o’ertook him, - Like a ship that’s lashed at sea, - While his long strides brought him nearer - The spot where his son might be. - - Alas! when he saw his son there, - Jus’ atuggin’ at the line, - With a monster fish adanglin’; - (’Twas a sport he too thought fine!) - - His old eyes jus’ fell a-dancin’, - Like the waves borne by a breeze, - An’ his soul was set a-singin’ - With the birds in nearby trees. - - Would you blame a feller’s daddy, - Should he break a solemn vow, - An’ help a lad to lug away - All the fish the law’d allow? - - Who’d begrudge dad any pleasure, - (When his sun was bendin’ low,) - Which might set his old heart beatin’ - With lost chords of long ago. - - - - -LIFE’S SUNSET - - - Thy day is far spent, - And thy night draweth nigh, - Life’s sunset at even, - Shines forth from on high. - - Eternity’s dawn, - As the closing of day, - ’Tis shadow or sunbeam - Precedeth thy way. - - A life such as thine, - Is inspired from above, - Reborn of God’s spirit, - Immersed in his love. - - Sweet strains from afar, - Thy rich entrance doth raise, - While yon Heavenly choir - Sings anthems of praise. - - - - -THE MEADOWLARK - - - The meadowlark wingeth his grassy way, - His plaintive note rings clear, - He seeketh shelter ’neath the new-mown hay - His flute-like voice we hear - “Spring o’ the year! - Spring o’ the year!” - - His coat, brown-mottled, with silver’s soft streak, - While nesting, serves him well, - When summer’s sun sears the grass, dries the creek, - ’Tis then he rests a spell. - In meadow-dell! - In meadow-dell! - - This jaunty fellow in vest of yellow - And crescent-collar black, - A cap to match; his music how mellow, - Chap with the whistling knack. - “Tseer”--alack! - “Tseer”--alack! - - A ground nest by him of grasses is made, - Distant his dream of fear, - Till the spotted white eggs his mate has laid, - Begin to disappear. - “Tsev--tseer!” - “Tsev--tseer!” - - The thieves of sad fate are mice of the mead, - Or else some reptile rare, - Again he builds stronger, with greater heed, - Then guards his home with care. - “Tseer” dire deed! - “Tseer” dire deed! - - ’Tis golden sheaf-time and each spotted shell, - Appears to be pipping, - Alas! the tale of the binder to tell, - She come clipping, clipping. - Thru meadow-dell! - Thru meadow-dell! - - The doom of the sputtering mates is sealed, - The reaper spurns his guest, - As he cuts a swath of the ripened field, - Brings havoc to the nest. - “Tseer” oprest! - “Tseer” oprest! - - Still sputtering, the mates fly far a-field, - Such grief was theirs that day, - And here is to hoping their fate may be sealed, - Next year a diff’rent way. - “Tseer” sad lay! - “Tseer” sad lay! - - - - -NATURE’S GAME - - - The gusts of wind that frisk about, - With the winter sprites at play, - And pile them high like football fiends, - In a most fantastic way, - Are stragglers from the woodland dell, - Just assuming to be fay. - - The birds cheer with chirps, squirrels with chats, - A clouded lining of sun-beam slats, - Curtains Sol of cunning eye; - Crows “Caw! caw!” as tho at play, - A golden bomb bursts the glow’ring sky, - And frightens the elfins away. - - - - -A BIT O’ CHEER - - - Such scurrying of blow and bluster out, - Instilled a longing just to look about - For one stray emblem of returning spring, - Some form of life aquiver on the wing. - - A massive mound of snow towered mountain high. - The nude trees, all ashiver stood opprest; - One brave bough saluted the whistling wind, - That had cruelly bared her aching breast. - - The tiny twigs twisted and twined for warmth, - Still striving in vain for reviving breath, - While the icy palm with a ruthless calm, - Soon smote many a sickly one with death. - - Ah, me! Is that a vision which I see! - Are those real, rosy apples on that tree? - Or is it God’s own gleaming sun streams thru-- - A crimson hue, on them for me and you? - - Or must I deem it destiny of war-- - Bloody war, never known on earth before - Stains them gore; or reflected words of cheer - From afar, to home friends who writhe in fear. - - ’Tis Nature’s pretty prank our hearts have blest, - Yet simple truth should always be confest; - The flaunting fruit which flings high in that tree, - Are merry, dancing, dangling apples three. - - - - -THOT - - - Thot is the skiff that bears the soul, - To Heaven’s celestial shore, - With our God as the stanch pilot, - To guide the light craft o’er. - - ’Tis thot which makes the poor man rich, - That makes the rich man poor, - Lord! may each treasury of thot, - Be thy Word firm and sure. - - No Scylla lifts six hungry heads, - No Sirens’ song is heard, - No Charybdis engulfs the soul, - With thot driven by God’s Word. - - Let Triton blow his shameful blast, - Unfurl your sails--nor care! - With Christ to man your vessel frail, - Foul weather will prove fair. - - Tho Neptune seethe, Christ soothes the waves, - While low-hung cloudlets pout, - Some peevish, purse their beating brows, - Soon all are put to rout. - - Thot speeds along the bounding brine, - While mingled mists of care, - Take their flight on the rifting clouds, - When Soul breathes freer air. - - The skiff of thot, a soul its crew, - Now welcomes her haven fair; - She anchors in God’s Elysium, - Our Heaven, of laurels rare. - - - - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Poems, by Jennie Earngey Hill - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK POEMS *** - -***** This file should be named 51536-0.txt or 51536-0.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/5/1/5/3/51536/ - -Produced by Larry B.
