Book Description
Excerpt from The Early Poems of Oliver Wendell Holmes Our ancient church its lowly tower, Beneath the loftier spire, Is shadowed when the sunset hour Clothes the tall shaft in fire; It sinks beyond the distant eye, Long ere the glittering vane, High wheeling in the western sky, Has faded o'er the plain. Like Sentinel and Nun, they keep Their vigil on the green One seems to guard, and one to weep, The dead that lie between And both roll out, SO full and near, Their music's mingling waves, They shake the grass, whose pennoned spear Leans on the narrow graves.

Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Oliver Wendell Holmes The policy has been pursued, as in the former cases, of taking the latest collee tive edition issued in the poet's lifetime as the pattern to be followed both in text and in arrangement, but the opportunity has been used to include a few poems which were written after the latest edition appeared or had by some accident failed to receive the author's attention when he was making up his final collection; no attempt, however, has been made, in gathering the early poems, to go outside of the volumes in which they were originally included. It is assumed that Dr. Holmes when making up these volumes intentionally disregarded some of the poems scattered through periodicals. This is confirmed by the attitude which he took when his attention was called to the omission upon the occasion of the issue of the Riverside Edition. He refused to give them a refuge even in an appendix. The arrangement here is the same as in the Riverside Edition, with some slight modification, chiefly caused by the introduction of new material. In accordance with the plan of this series and with Dr. Holmes's original intention when the Riverside Edition was prepared, the Juvenilia are placed in an appendix in smaller type. Throughout the volume, whether in head-notes or in those placed in the appendix, the editor's work is distinguished by the use of brackets.

The Poetical Works of Oliver Wendell Holmes - Volume 07: Songs of Many Seasons by Oliver Wendell Holmes THUS I lift the sash, so longShut against the flight of song;All too late for vain excuse, -Lo, my captive rhymes are loose. Rhymes that, flitting through my brain, Beat against my window-pane, Some with gayly colored wings, Some, alas! with venomed stings. Shall they bask in sunny rays?Shall they feed on sugared praise?Shall they stick with tangled feetOn the critic's poisoned sheet? Are the outside winds too rough?Is the world not wide enough?Go, my winged verse, and try, -Go, like Uncle Toby's fly! We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
