Poems by Sidney Lanier
To My Class: On Certain Fruits And Flowers Sent Me In Sickness
... Grave raptures round, - if leaves of green as new ...
The Dove
... Shouldst knock Death's door with mellow shocks of tune, ...
Nine From Eight
... Leaves nuthin' -- and none to carry!"I woa'd my mules mighty easy ...
Thar's More In the Man Than Thar Is In The Land
... He swore that he'd leave them old red hills and stones, ...
A Ballad Of The Trees And The Master
... But the olives they were not blind to Him, ...
A Birthday Song. To S. G.
... Swift floating, by wild sea or sky undaunted,Straight through the cloud of death, where men are free ...
A Dedication. To Charlotte Cushman.
... This wild-rose stem for thy large name's too small!Nay, still my trembling hands are fain, are fain ...
A Florida Ghost.
... And the great Gulf at play,Past far-off palms that filmed to nought, ...
A Florida Sunday.
... Divine Tranquillity!Gray Pelican, poised where yon broad shallows shine, ...
A Sea-Shore Grave. To M. J. L.
... God, let our dead friend live once more!"O wish that's stronger than the stroke ...
A Song Of Eternity In Time
... And stole our starlight that for us was shining ...
A Song Of The Future.
... Fly glittering through the sun's strange beams ...
A Sunrise Song.
... With news of Sepulchre and Dolorous Hill,Canst thou be he that, yester-sunset warm, ...
Acknowledgment.
... Howe'er thou turn'st, wrong Earth! still Love's in sight: ...
An Evening Song.
... Come forth, sweet stars, and comfort heaven's heart ...
