The Great Tribunal

© John Newton

John in vision saw the day

When the Judge will hasten down;

WE sneer and we laugh with the lipthe most of us do it,
Whenever a brother goes down like a weed with the tide;
We point with the finger and sayOh, we knew it! we knew it!
But, see! we are better than he was, and we will abide.

And a waving plume of blue.

Lines.When this heart is cold and still

And can throb for thee no more;
When it wakes not to the thrill
Of the harp's wild chord;
Nor can e'en afford
A sigh to the days of yore;

A messenger of Hope comes every night to me,
And offers for short life, eternal liberty.

At A Meeting Of Friends

© Oliver Wendell Holmes

I REMEMBER--why, yes! God bless me! and was it so long ago?
I fear I'm growing forgetful, as old folks do, you know;
It must have been in 'forty--I would say 'thirty-nine--
We talked this matter over, I and a friend of mine.

Dwell not with me,
For you'll never see
More than a possum or a kangaroo,
And now and then a cockatoo.

The Lamp in the West

VENUS has lit her silver lamp
Low in the purple West,
Casting a soft and mellow light
Upon the seas full breast;
In one clear pathas if to guide
Some pale, wayfaring guest.

The Devil

Along de road from Bord à Plouffe
To Kaz-a-baz-u-a
W'ere poplar trees lak sojers stan',
An' all de lan' is pleasan' lan',
In off de road dere leev's a man
Call Louis Desjardins.
