Download or read book Lines of Battle and Other Poems Classic Reprint written by Henry Howard Brownell and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lines of Battle, and Other Poems In the first year of the Civil War Hawthorne wrote to an English friend: "Ten thousand poetasters have tried, and tried in vain to give us a rousing 'Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled.' If we fight no better than we sing, may the Lord have mercy upon us and upon the nation!" Hawthorne lived long enough to see that his country men, North and South, could fight. That they could also sing about fighting was perhaps less apparent until the war was past. Naturally the country was more occupied with shooting than with singing while the conflict lasted; and naturally the most enduring poetic memorials of the period sprang from "remembered emotion." Yet a few songs well worth the hearing were sung in the very glow of battle. One singer of them, Henry Howard Brownell, secured from Dr. Holmes the title of "Our Battie Laureate."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Return of the Guards and Other Poems These Poems of mine were given to the world, in their latest form, shortly before I was elected to the Poetry Professorship at Oxford - that is a good many years ago. They have long been quite out of print; but, as they had answered their purpose, I let them be. For some time past, however, I have been told by different persons, in various ways, that a new edition of them would be welcomed by that subdivision of the human race which interests itself in Poetry at present. I have, therefore, made arrangements for their republication. Since I ceased to be Poetry Professor, I have not had much to do with literary pursuits. The circumstances of my life have left me without ambition, and without much interest in any thing but my family, my friends, and my country, of whose future I try not to despair.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Man Who Saw, and Other Poems Arising Out of the War Has had the experience, so painful to a patriotic man, of differing from the majority of his countrymen on the moral issues involved in certain large and complex questions Of international or imperial policy. In both cases he recorded his views and feelings very unambiguously in verse, incurring not a little Odium and losing some friends. In both cases public opinion has since moved round into a position fundamentally much nearer his own than it had at first occupied. During the present war, with all its agonies and horrors, he has had at any rate the one private satisfaction of feeling not even the most momentary doubt or misgiving as to the perfect righteousness of his country's cause. There is nothing on earth of which he is more certain than that this Empire, throughout this supreme ordeal, has shaped her course by the light Of purest duty. Her way has been the way Of the just; and even if it be arguable that a base expediency would have dictated another path - even if it be held that by.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Battle of Bunker Hill: Or the Temple of Liberty; An Historic Poem in Four Cantos The publisher of this inspiring poem has appended several articles from the journals of the provmcial Congress, relating to the early difficulties between the colonies and the mother country. Although mother, her conduct at that period was that of an unnatural one, yet had it been otherwise, instead of celebrating the day of our Nation's birth, in all human probability we should have been found among the wor shippers of england's fair queen. Those documents will go far to show the rising generations, the real character of those master spirits that moved the mighty ball of the revolution, who, through smoke and fire, and cannon's ire, fought on Banker's Hill - infusing a determined spirit throughout the whole colonies, to break their shackles, and like men be free, to tyrants longer not to bend the knee.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hermitage and Other Poems That stirs but with her heart-beats. Far, unheard May wrangle on the noisy human host, While I will face my Life, that Silent ghost, And force it speak what it would have with me. Not of the fair young Earth, The snow-crowned, sunny-belted globe Not Of its skies, nor Twilight's purple robe, Nor pearly dawn not Of the flowers' birth, And Autumn's forest-funerals not of storms, And quiet seas, and clouds' incessant forms Not Of the sanctuary of the night, With its solemnities, nor any Sight And pleasant sound of all the friendly day But I am tired of what we call our lives Tired of the endless humming in the hives, Sick of the bitter 'honey that we eat, And sick of cursing all the shallow cheat. Let me arise, and away To the land that guards the dying day, Whose burning tear, the evening-star, Drops silently to the wave afar The land where summers never cease Their sunny psalm Of light and peace. Whose moonlight, poured for years untold, Has drifted down in dust of gold Whose morning splendors, fallen in showers, Leave ceaseless sunrise in the flowers. There I will choose some eyrie in the hills, Where I may build, like a lonely bird; And catch the whispered music heard Out Of the noise of human ills. So, I am here at last A purer world, whose feet the old, salt Past Washes against, and leaves it fresh and free As a new island risen from the sea. Three dreamy weeks we lay on Ocean's breast, Rocked asleep, by gentle winds caressed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
