Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wayside Pictures, Hymns, and Poems VI. "The harp thou touchest with a trembling hand Shall give thee comfort when the dells are dim, And down the dingles of life's trodden land Floats sad and slow the pensive evening hymn. The cup of kindness, sparkling to the rim, Shall cheer thee onward through thy after-days, Proffered in gentleness and truth by him Who Christian love and tenderness displays: To whom I bid thee, then, inscribe thy simple lays." VII. The echo followed him when heaven was clear, And when the clouds met in the angry sky. It filled the breeze of every new-born year, As one by one they swept before his eye. In spells of song he oft would lyre-bound lie, Until he came the cheerful meed to assign, Bidding the care-shades to their coverts fly; Whilst many stood aloof, with chilling whine, He aided his song-skiff with gales of love benign. VIII. Now when his sun of life is in the west, And length'ning shadows lie upon the land, He yields the secret nurtured in his breast, And thus fulfils the cloud-sylph's clear command, Announced when roses were by faint winds fanned, And gleams of song on hill and hollow lay, Uniting kindreds in a golden band, Till love shall reign, and war-feuds pass away, And consecrates his psalms to Alexander Gray. IX. The friend of those whose earthly friends are few, He fills the widow's heart with richest joy; To the Divine injunction ever true, The weak to shield, to feed the orphan boy; The thorns along life's pathway to destroy, And smooth the steep by drooping genius trod, Who warmly thanks him in his loved employ, Mid craggy cliff and cascade, music-shod, And asks for Robert Gray the guidance of his God. X. In fields, and lanes, and the o'erhanging wood, These songs were written to the sound of streams, Where the lark carols o'er the crystal flood, And the dear daisy mid the grasses gleams, And truly pure and righteous it beseems To dedicate the nurslings of his lyre, From bursting boyhood down to eve's dim dreams, To him who prompts the musical desire, And Charity directs, clad in her meek attire. XI. Without his friendship these uncultured vines In such a pleasant plot would not appear, But, like the dodder neath the lonely pines, Supported, cling amid the thickets drear. May He preserve his heavenly vision clear, Till up the seraph slopes he takes his way, Where spreads the tree of life in heaven's own sphere, Amid the glories of unfading day: Redeemer, Saviour, Lord, Guide Thither Robert Gray.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gems by the Wayside: Or, Religious and Domestic Poems IT is with peculiar feelings that I present to the pub lic this book of verse; being aware that it will meet the keen eye of the critic. Some of my productions have appeared as fugitive pieces in various religious Magazines and Periodicals of the day; there is, there fore, less to be anticipated on that score, than if they were all fresh culled. If the mind Of the reader is not elevated with flights of the imagination, the heart may be cheered and encouraged, as it participates with the writer in the joys that flow from that pure stream which meanders through the valley of humiliation. Many of these effusions have been pencilled while suffering affliction from the hand Of a merciful God. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Poems Other Writings LOA 118 written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and published by Library of America. This book was released on 2000-08-28 with total page 877 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No American writer of the nineteenth century was more universally enjoyed and admired than Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. His works were extraordinary bestsellers for their era, achieving fame both here and abroad. Now, for the first time in over twenty-five years, The Library of America offers a full-scale literary portrait of America’s greatest popular poet. Here are the poems that created an American mythology: Evangeline in the forest primeval, Hiawatha by the shores of Gitche Gumee, the midnight ride of Paul Revere, the wreck of the Hesperus, the village blacksmith under the spreading chestnut tree, the strange courtship of Miles Standish, the maiden Priscilla and the hesitant John Alden; verses like “A Psalm of Life” and “The Children’s Hour,” whose phrases and characters have become part of the culture. Here as well, along with the public antislavery poems, are the sparer, darker lyrics—"The Fire of Drift-Wood," “Mezzo Cammin,” “Snow-Flakes,” and many others—that show a more austere aspect of Longfellow’s poetic gift. Erudite and fluent in many languages, Longfellow was endlessly fascinated with the byways of history and the curiosities of legend. As a verse storyteller he had no peer, whether in the great book-length narratives such as Evangeline and The Song of Hiawatha (both included in full) or the stories collected in Tales of a Wayside Inn (reprinted here in a generous selection). His many poems on literary themes, such as his moving homages to Dante and Chaucer, his verse translations from Lope de Vega, Heinrich Heine, and Michelangelo, and his ambitious verse dramas, notably The New England Tragedies (also complete), are remarkable in their range and ambition. As a special feature, this volume restores to print Longfellow’s novel Kavanagh, a study of small-town life and literary ambition that was praised by Emerson as an important contribution to the development of American fiction. A selection of essays rounds out of the volume and provides testimony of Longfellow’s concern with creating an American national literature. LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation’s literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America’s best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.
