Poems by George Moses Horton
Prosperity
... From thy straw, dissolved at leisure, ...
Praise Of Creation
... They seized their golden harps as soon ...
Imploring To Be Resigned At Death
... And the spirit cut loose from its chain, ...
Mr. Clays Reception At Raleigh, April, 1844
... They look ten thousand stars! lamp tumbler blaze, ...
The Graduate Leaving College
... The graduate takes his last long flight, ...
On The Silence Of A Young Lady
... Breathe on the air thy plaintive note, ...
Death Of An Old Carriage Horse
... And took at forks the roughest prong, ...
The Creditor To His Proud Debtor
... But I'd leave you bare without that coat, ...
Heavenly Love
... [illegible] ing thy swift flight beyond the sun, ...
On The Poetic Muse
... Where pensive thoughts like streamlets roll, ...
On Spring
... Thou world of heat--thou vital source, ...
True Friendship
... When the lone stranger, forced to roam, ...
On The Truth Of The Saviour
... See the distress'd, all bath'd in tears, ...
Clays Defeat
... Fall'n, fall'n is the chief of the witty, ...
The Swan - Vain Pleasures
... Proud fortune leaves her throne, and flies ...
