36661Over the meadow and the wood What was the voice that filled her ears?
36661Palenque?

36661Was it the boat, the solitude and hush, That with dead Indians peopled all the glooms?

36661What is the murmur in the dell?
36661What is the spice that haunts each glen and glade?
36661What is this thing you tell me In tongues of a twilight race, Of death, with the vanished features, Mantled, of my own face?
36661What spell dost bear from listening plant to plant, Like some white witch, some ghostly ministrant, Some spectre of some perished flower of phlox?
36661Who waits for me, where, note for note, The birds make glad the forest trees?
36661With a broken syrinx there, With bignonia overgrown, Is it Pan in hoof and hair, Or his image carved from stone?
36661Yet my dreaming-- is it more Than mere dreaming?
36661a curtain Raised?
36661or Copan?
36661or the sound Of airs that stir the crisp leaf on the ground?

12402And will he come and mock me with his booty, And twirl my visions round his bony finger?

12402Are there no duties there to do?
12402Are they our kindred?
12402But avails it aught?
12402But that''s not all-- the horse I ride, The ox I yoke, the dog I chide, The flesh and fish and fowl we feed on Are kindred, too; is that agreed on?

12402Did she cross the deep Jordan without any fears For all were now calmed on her dear Saviour''s breast?
12402Did strains of sweet music her senses entrance While Earth, with her loved ones, receded in air?
12402Did they bear a white robe, and a starry crown To place on their sainted comrade''s head?

12402Hey?
12402Hold I the slightest part Within the boundless realm of thy confiding heart?
12402How are you, George, my rhyming brother?
12402How have we used this fleeting year?
12402How long has that hand lain in dust?
12402How long, and yet how long, must this frail bark be driven, While these unsteady, fitful hope- lights given, One after one expire?
12402How long?
12402How stands the case to- day?
12402How, poor frail and erring mortal, Darest thou judge thy fellow- man And with bitter words and feelings, All his faults and frailties scan?
12402I see her soul in yonder star, I see the soft lines of her face, And could God so unkindly mar That angel beauty and its grace?
12402Is he erring?
12402Is it chiming in woe or gladness, Its symphonies sweet and grand?
12402Is it hung in an ancient turret?
12402Is it rung for a shadowy sorrow, In the shadowy phantom land?
12402Is it swung by a mortal hand?
12402John A. Calhoun, my Joe John,"I wonder what you mean?"
12402Just ask the wisest, What is matter?
12402Let me see, Yes;"Can Christians consistently Engage in war against a brother And at the same time love each other?"
12402List-- do you hear that mother speak For her son that is doom''d to die?
12402Lying in your chamber low, Neath the daisies and the dew, Can you hear me?
12402Must it be That all the fools in all creation, And knaves and thieves of every station In life, can call me their relation?
12402No clothes to mend, that you could sew, No beer that''s worth the brewing?
12402On pinions of light did she mount to the spheres Where all is contentment, and pleasure, and rest?
12402Or dost thou ever give to me one thought?
12402Or dost thou mourn that the house of God Has ceased to be a divine abode?
12402Or shall the journey henceforth take A brighter phaze for me?
12402Or shout for war?
12402Or who shall hope, or friend, or foe, E''er to forget that hour?
12402Reason return:--let strife be o''er?
12402Saw ye in your solemn marches From the citadel of death, In our bridal halls of beauty Burning still the lamp of faith?
12402Shall I next six- and- twenty make My journey, love, with thee?
12402Shall warrior plumes bedeck thy crest?
12402She cried--"within thy hidden hands What recompense is waiting me Beyond these naked wintry sands?
12402She held her breath in silent dread, The crimson from her soft cheek fled, Low at her feet he knelt;--"No welcome for the leal and true?
12402She is not dead, she''s shining In robes of spotless white; Why then are we repining?
12402She is not dead-- O never Will sorrow cross her track; She''s passed Death''s darksome river, And who would have her back?
12402That pastor and people have passed away, And the tears of night their graves bedew By the funeral cypress and solemn yew?
12402That the gentle shepherd, who to pasture bore His flock, has gone, to return no more?
12402That the tall and waving grass defiles The well- worn flags of the crowdless aisles?
12402That the wild fox barks, and the owlet screams Where the organ and choir pealed out their themes?
12402Then let me turn, and return too, For I have wandered from my text,-- Well, Mr. Steele, how do you do?
12402Thus I behold thy wondrous arm And own thy works divine: Then what in life or death can harm So long as thou art mine?
12402Thy mistress,--fair Beatrice,--dwells she here?
12402To distant lands to roam and then Dead lips to welcome me again?
12402To gain a life of shipwrecked bliss?
12402To rise no more?
12402Turning the lumbering, mumbling wheel; Which moans and groans as tho''t could feel?"
12402WHAT IS MATTER?
12402We can bear so much in youth; Who cares for a swift sharp pain?
12402What ails the sunshine and the day?"
12402What am I?
12402What say''st thou?
12402What startled you?
12402What though the o''er- labored limbs are weary?
12402When will the flood of human woe, That flows from folly, pride, and sin, Subside, and ever cease to flow?
12402When will the reign of peace begin?
12402When wilt thou come with thy tiny feet That bounded my glad embrace to meet?
12402Where Nature, a paradise to grace, Hath loved her every charm to trace, That man, enamored of distress Should mar it into wilderness?"
12402Where is the Divine compassion That God has shown to me?
12402Where lilies in snowy and golden sheen Fill the air with their heavenly, rare perfume?
12402Where then shall we poor mortals go?
12402Who doubts, that ever saw him strike, He aimed to strike for right?
12402Who never yield or quit the field, Can you blame Charlie then?
12402Why dost thou pour thy sad complaint On the evening winds from a bosom faint?
12402Why flee me, like a debtor in arrears?
12402Why have I lived for this?
12402Why rake out from time''s dull ashes, And before the world display Deeds, it may be, long repented And forgiven, ere this day?
12402Why spend thy zest on barren sands?
12402Wilt peal the bugle- blast afar And urge the cannon''s madd''ning roar?
12402Wilt plead for right, or bleed for wrong?
12402Wilt whisper peace?
12402Years six and twenty have been mine To journey on alone: Shall I as many more repine, Before I am undone?
12402Yet, when he deigned to raise it, Who could resist its power?
12402and the sweets are free-- Wilt thou trill to the touch of outwearied fingers?
12402and to his arm I''ll trust my destiny; For what in life or death can harm The soul that leans on thee?
12402did you not hear that loud shriek?
12402do you not see that wild eye?
12402laughed the miller,"he pauses not and why-- In the sunshine pausing and musing I?
12402may not my body rest Beneath that sod my heart loves best?
12402my letter forget?
12402my love, oh, why No answer to my pleading cry?"
12402oh try to strengthen; Sad?
12402seek in kindness, Then, to win him back to peace; Is he weak?
12402the scene has turned, Where burn those fires now?
12402what have I been doing?''
12402what shall dry that country''s tears Fast falling o''er his fall?
12402when will slumber cease to hold The limbs that lie so still and cold?
12402whose heavy plaint Drifts down the deathly shadows faint, Why weep ye for this risen saint?
34752My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
34752''Tis why I''ve no heart now to pray?
34752All harmony and love, All joy and glory there-- Say, would you not in these Eternal blessings share?
34752An oft untimely grave the lot, Of those thus overcome; What desolation then is felt, In their once peaceful home?
34752And are we prepared for this glorious place?
34752And do they know my hopeless lot, In this dark cell confined?
34752And hath his summons to your hearts been spoken?
34752And is my father, mother, there, And brother, sister kind?
34752And is there another dear loved one for me?
34752And is there no promise made, In his name, of victory?
34752And the Lord still to us our transgressions impute?
34752And what are all these slow- revolving years, But funeral pageants of distress and tears?
34752And who obedient stand?
34752Angel of mercy art thou here And hovering o''er us now?
34752Are our spirits crushed within us?
34752Are the gates of mercy closed?
34752Are we able to stand when the Lord shall appear?
34752Are we assured our home''s in Heaven?
34752Are we expecting to be there, and share each proffered bliss?
34752Are we loitering on the way To the realms of endless day?
34752Are we suffering persecution, trying God''s commands to keep?
34752As he goes who can know he will ever return?
34752Bids he any be a slave To despair or doubt or fear?
34752But where will the thoughtless sinner Find a secret place to hide, From the wrath of him who loved us, And for us was crucified?
34752Could the hope of salvation be given once more, Would we not turn our backs on our Lord, as before?
34752Dear loved one sleeping-- sympathy, oh, where?
34752Do trials, unexpected, rise?
34752Do we in higher circles move?
34752Do we oft in silence weep?
34752Do we with all the heart believe, And God''s approving smile receive?
34752Do you say''tis on the altar?
34752Does not thy heart begin to feel The claims of Him who wounds to heal?
34752Does patience have her perfect work, While thus you break each vow?
34752Dost thou not feel a mightier power, A hand divine in this dark hour?
34752For me wast thou nourished, In that dear, quiet spot, To tell when thou flourished, I was not forgot?
34752Forever with Christ in his glorious home,-- Oh, who can such glory and bliss comprehend?
34752Has his arm grown short to save?
34752Has it taken its flight?
34752Has not help on One been laid Strong to save and set us free?
34752Has the Spirit been grieved?
34752Hath he links of fond affection broken, And borne a loved one from this mortal shore?
34752Hath his dark shadow crossed your threshold o''er?
34752Have loved ones gone, does earth look drear?
34752Have we nought to dread or fear?
34752Have you again become To appetite a slave?
34752Heavy is his ear to hear?
34752Heed not the tempter when he comes, And pleads once more to yield; Have you not fully yet resolved, To shun this battle- field?
34752Homeless was my blessed Saviour, Patient, too, mid all his grief; Why be downcast, sad, desponding, When he''ll freely give relief?
34752How fiercely does the conflict rage within, While striving to subdue some cherished sin; What shall be done?
34752How long shall I o''er this bewail?
34752I cherished and loved him; and who can tell My anguish while on his departure I dwell?
34752If we blindly hug earth''s treasures, where shall we a shelter find?
34752In view of this, who dare a sin commit?
34752Is every weight now laid aside?
34752Is the cloud of radiant light, Glowing round th''Eternal throne, Shrouded in a pall of night, Or in outer darkness gone?
34752Is the fount of glory dried?
34752Is there a dark and heavy cloud, Now gathering out of sight, To come o''er this my cheerful path, And turn it into night?
34752Is there no all- beaming sun In the heavens above thee now?
34752Is there no one who will our sorrows share?
34752Is there one here, who, e''er thus far, Has blameless been preserved?
34752Is there one here, without one beam of hope?
34752Lie still, e''en here, and search the hidden cause; O''er every sin has victory been won?
34752Like Peter we deny our Lord, and spurn his tender care; Such base ingratitude as this, who but a God could bear?
34752May a strong cord of union now bind me to thee?
34752Now are we drawing near the port, Decisions soon all made in court, The scene will close, the Lord will come,-- And who with him will have a home?
34752O sweet, lovely flower, For me didst thou bloom In a far distant bower, My path to perfume?
34752Oh, where are all the glad and gay, That filled the brightly- lighted hall; With loving hearts to music''s lay, Responded to the joyous call?
34752Oh, who will endure the last searching test, With Abrah''m and Isaac and Jacob be blest In the kingdom of God?
34752Oppressed, desponding, bordering on despair?
34752Or cause us not in lowliness, vain thoughts of self to hide?
34752Or hope to be sustained?
34752Prepare for the trouble that soon is to come-- Who then will enjoy his own loved quiet home?
34752Shall I find the same friends and the dear quiet room, And my former engagements pursue?
34752Shall we behold the glorious city fair, And by the King of kings be welcomed there?
34752Shall we cling, then, to what Christ would have us give up?
34752Shall we grow weary then?
34752Shall we lose courage now?
34752Shall we then see her in immortal bloom, Risen triumphant from the silent tomb?
34752Shall we then sink beneath the rod, Inflicted by a holy God To purify and make us white, That he may be our sole delight?
34752Shall we there meet her all in bright array, And spend in Heaven with her an endless day?
34752Should those here hold their peace, whom God has his own Spirit given, Where could he look for honor due, and whom make meet for Heaven?
34752Sickness prostrates; helpless sufferer, Who can stem the sorrowing tide?
34752Sleep we on while danger''s near?
34752Still sinking''neath gloom''s dark and heavy cloud, Not thinking e''er one cheering boon to share?
34752Taken in Satan''s artful snare, Who once had power with God in prayer, Their minds and hearts by sin enslaved-- Can such go through?
34752Tempted, tried, desponding one, Why does darkness shade thy brow?
34752That all our sins are now forgiven?
34752The Friends of my Youth: Where are They?
34752The debt is paid; salvation''s free, Though Jesus''life it cost, And all who come to him he''ll save; Then why should you be lost?
34752The exhilarating influence When loved, who will forego?
34752The last besetting sin denied?
34752Then judge not harshly; who can tell Thy brother''s suffering now, That he has failed in any point, To pay the Lord his vow?
34752Then who would shrink from the lowly band, Who make their peace with the King of kings?
34752There may have been no outward act To cause one pang of grief; But has there been no secret fault, No sin of unbelief?
34752These are the jewels he would gain, this course would fain pursue; That he is not like them, he asks, to whom is glory due?
34752These calls unheeded, who the end can know?
34752Though on them glows the copper tint, though African their race, What matters these distinctions of their nation, lot, or place?
34752Though we gain the world, what profit, If we lose our souls at last?
34752Thy waves and thy billows are over me gone, With the Psalmist, I mournfully say, And ask, Why cast down?
34752To eat with her the fruit of earth made new, And give to Jesus praise and glory due?
34752To this desolate self am I left?
34752We may exalted be by men, Be censured and condemned; what then?
34752We''ll shout, O death where is thy sting?
34752Well, be it so; your course pursue, But what will be the end?
34752Went there ever unsupplied, Any who in God reposed?
34752What news is this falls on my ear?
34752What next will to my sight appear?
34752What room for gay and festive cheer, While woe and darkness span the earth?
34752What though false reports are started, and believed by those we love?
34752What though we''re wrongfully accused, Oft times e''en slanderously abused?
34752What though you''ve learned of envy''s wiles, The slanderous tongue, which oft beguiles?
34752When dark misfortune''s tide is up, Its surges running high, If we have lost our hold on God, Where then for refuge fly?
34752When fortune''s wheel turns, will the gate opened be, Be opened for me to come through?
34752Where Is Thy God?
34752Where look for refuge now?
34752While sin and suffering, pain and death, still throw, Their baleful shadow over all below?
34752While some in love receive the truth, More will its claims deride; Why will they slight the offered boon?
34752Who at stern duty''s call, Unbound by selfish will, Meekly resign their earthly all, Its bidding to fulfill?
34752Who can describe the bliss there''ll be, When blessed with immortality?
34752Who here long can stand with his sins unconfessed?
34752Who is Without Fault?
34752Who kept good her needed store, When Elijah shared her morsel, having naught to purchase more?
34752Who made us thus to differ here?
34752Who never strayed, made one mistake, Or e''er from duty swerved?
34752Who the widow''s oil replenished?
34752Who then can sacrifice too much, too much for him endure?
34752Who when the cross appears, Hasten its weight to bear; Glad, though it be through thorns and tears, The cross of Christ to share?
34752Who will escape the many ills increasing on the land?
34752Who would not be with saints and angels blest, And have in Heaven at last eternal rest?
34752Who would not thus be honored of the Lord, And have from him a large and rich reward?
34752Who would not weep when one so lovely dies?
34752Who, with such a friend as Jesus, can be troubled or dismayed?
34752Whose breast with ardor glows, The conflict to begin; Warring, but not with carnal foes, Wrestling with every sin?
34752Whose is a willing heart, Whose is a ready hand; Joyful in Jesus''cause to start, Joyful for him to stand?
34752Whose is a willing heart?
34752Why Art Thou Cast Down?
34752Why art thou numbered with the early dead?
34752Why disquieted, opprest?
34752Why hail we thus each new- born year, With voice of joy and scenes of mirth?
34752Why ope the wound-- that wound so deeply given, When from the parent tree this branch was riven?
34752Why risk the victory you have gained?
34752Why take the gall perverted tastes to please, When nought but Jesus''dying blood, God''s anger can appease?
34752Why this dark depth of grief and gloom, this anguish and despair?
34752Why thus disquieted, cast down?
34752Why thus sink in sight of Heaven?
34752Why thus?
34752Why wound our souls?
34752Will You be a Pilgrim?
34752Will you come in with the pilgrims, though a remnant they may be, And know the blessed privilege of gospel liberty?
34752Will you go against the multitude, in his own strength and name?
34752Will you have this hope to cheer you, to an unfading crown-- A crown that far outshines this world, with all its grand renown?
34752Will you part with earth''s delusive joys, with all its vain delights, And"bear the consecrated cross,"to have the Christian''s rights?
34752Will you take the name of Christ, and be redeemed by sovereign grace, And find in him from every storm a sure, safe hiding- place?
34752Would not the same spirit still bear the same fruit?
34752Would you call me your mother?
34752You''ve boasted victory here, Why sink beneath the wave?
34752and who will be lost, To find when too late, what earth''s pleasures have cost?
34752are higher placed by birth?
34752can such be saved?
34752shall I see his face, And rest in his embrace Forevermore?
34752the king and hero dies; And though''tis said the great here lies,''T might well be asked,"False marble, where?
34752what change has cooled the fervor; what could mean this cold retreat?
34752where is now thy God?
34752who gives the strength and power To hold the victory over self, in dark temptation''s hour?
34752why should I think any harm could be there?
34752will you suffer sorrow here, and have a home in Heaven, A kingdom that will shortly be, to all the faithful given?
