"Good Hope " for this good land yet, If we would but dare and do; If we would but stand with ready hand To grasp ere the blessings go. "Good Hope" for this good land yet, If we would but stay life-streams, Which will past us flow while we, too slow, Stand rapt on the bank in dreams. "Good Hope" for this good land yet, If we would but cease to hope That the rain will drop and bring a crop While we idly sit and mope. "Good Hope" for this good land yet, If we work, e'en while we wait For the sun and rain to ripen grain We have sown, then left to fate. "Good Hope " for this good land yet, If we use each heav'n-sent gift As a means to an end, and do not spend Our best without care and thrift. "Good Hope " for this good land yet, If we live and struggle still To a better life, through toil and strife, With a stout heart and strong will. "Good Hope" for this good land yet, If our faith be active trust, And not blind belief, which, at each grief, Still mourns that what must be must. "Good Hope" for this good land yet, If we would but trust in God, And the Christ who came and took our name To bless, not to turn the sod. William Rodger Thomson. THE POET. The poet walks entranced o'er earth, And, dreaming-, touches Nature's strings, And calls grand harmonies to birth; Men listen wond'ring as he sings. He goeth oft to wild retreats, Where Nature broods in solitude; There, in the Muses' haunted seats, Enrapt he stands--as if he view'd Strange visions on the face of heav'n. His eye rolls o'er the boundless blue, And then, as if his sight had giv'n Wings to his soul, he soareth through Th' empyrean vault, and upward flies To scan deep mysteries, unseen By common souls, whose earth-bound eyes Are blinded with the dazzling sheen Of glorious...

Download or read book The Nation s Bounty written by Nontsizi Mgqwetho and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautiful study of the incredible life of Nontsizi Mgqwetho For nearly a decade Nontsizi Mgqwetho contributed poetry to a Johannesburg newspaper, Umteteli wa Bantu, the first and only female poet to produce a substantial body of work in Xhosa. Apart from what is revealed in these writings, very little is known about her life. She explodes on the scene with her swaggering, urgent, confrontational woman's poetry on 23 October 1920, sends poems to the newspaper regularly throughout the three years from 1924 to 1926, withdraws for two years until two final poems appear in December 1928 and January 1929, then disappears into the shrouding silence she first burst from. Nothing more is heard from her, but the poetry she left immediately claims for her the status of one of the greatest literary artists ever to write in Xhosa, an anguished voice of an urban woman confronting male dominance, ineffective leadership, black apathy, white malice and indifference, economic exploitation and a tragic history of nineteenth-century territorial and cultural dispossession. The Nation's Bounty contains the original poems alongside English translations by Jeff Opland. It was the first of a number of new titles planned for release in the African Treasury Series, a premier collection of texts by South Africa's pioneers of African literature and written in indigenous languages. First published by Wits University Press in the 1940s, the series provided a voice for the voiceless and celebrated African culture, history and heritage. It continues to make a contribution by supporting current efforts to empower and develop the status of African languages in South Africa.

Download or read book Edward Thomas Prose Writings A Selected Edition written by Edna Longley and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-05 with total page 806 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward Thomas can be seen as the most important poetry critic in the early twentieth century. Thomas was a prose-writer before he was a poet. The Selected Edition of his prose, and especially this volume, shows that he was also a critic before he was a poet. His unusual literary career opens up key questions about the relation between poetry and criticism, as well as between poetry and prose. Thomas wrote books about poetry, but his criticism mainly took the form of reviews. He reviewed collections, editions, and studies of poetry, most regularly, for the Daily Chronicle and the Morning Post. These reviews amount to a unique commentary on the state of poetry and of poetry criticism after 1900. Since reviewing provided Thomas's main income, he also reviewed other kinds of book. Hence the sheer mass of his reviews, the stress he suffered as a literary journalist. Yet his criticism maintains an astonishingly high standard. Thomas's response to contemporary poetry intersects with his readings of older poetry. No critic or poet of the time was so deeply acquainted with the traditions of English-language poetry or so alert to new poetic movements in Ireland and America. Edward Thomas's writings on poetry have a double importance. Besides suggesting the hidden evolution of his own aesthetic, they constitute a lost history and critique of poetry before the Great War. They change our assumptions about that period. Thomas's perspectives on poets such as Yeats, Hardy, Frost, Lawrence, and Pound illuminate the making of modern poetry.
