Fbom a somewhat bulky portfolio of new and miscel- laneous manuscripts, I have been induced to select a small Christmas present for my friends, in the shape of the following Lyrics. Most of them have been written very lately ; and (in all cases, except three or four, a sample of certain fugitives unclaimed by me till now) they have not hitherto been printed. My friendly reader is requested to regard these effusions, in the main, not as cold pieces of poetical artifice deliberately carved and gilt ; but, as they really have grown up from time to time, the natural crop of occasion and circimastance. May they both please and in their ' measure do good, as witnessing from heart to heart, from mind to mind. M. F. T. Albtjry, Guildfoed. Christmat 1854. 824214 ^milltx Jattcims, Again, THUS FAR: the world goes whirling on, And each man's life is full of chance and change, While all withal that seems so new and strange Looks like an old familiar soon as done : So must the Soul, that up and down doth range Restless and energetic, set up straight Its Rimic record ever and anon, Or pile its cahn of pebbles, one by one. To mark the ways that lead to Duty's gate; And I, much musing in mine ivied grange. Thankful for hfe at such a busy time, And earnest, though much erring every Avay, Often fling out my way-side heap of rhyme To rest some wearied traveller, as it may.

I. Haste ! the poor old Earth is d^dng,- Do God service while you can ; Haste ! too huiTiedlj is flying All this halcyon chance of man; Haste! for Time shall be no longer ;- All Creation seems to tend In a rapid ever stronger To that cataract, The End! B LYEICS OF THE II. Lo! the cycled years revolving Turn to their first goal again, — Every Sphynx-enigma solving, Every riddle reading plain; All things speak to man subhmely With Apocalyptic mouth, Nature's consummation timely TeUina; out from North to South! III. Yea, what privilege and gladness Dwell with modern men and tilings, Vainly waited for in sadness By old prophets and old kings! Children see what sages doubted, Peasants know what patriarchs guess'd,- And the sword of Truth has routed Every lie from East to West. HEART AND MINT). IV. Ancient wrongs are being righted, — Ancient rights hft up the head; Savage realms and tribes benighted Eise to hfe as from the dead; Ignorance is out of season, Wickedness is glad to hide, — Nothing stands but faith and reason, Notliuig falls but sin and pride. V. We, in days so fuU and fleeting, Spend oiu" lives on eagles' wings, Tlirong'd by marvels marvels meeting, Floek'd about by wondrous things; Every day the whole world's liistory Spread out map-hke stirs the mind, Every day some ripen'd mystery Stands consummate for mankind. LYEICS OF THE VI. Nineveh with ghostly message Rises from her mounded graves ; Polar Ice has clued the Passage Winding through its himimock'd waves; Saiurian monsters crawl before us, — Storms their whirling laws avow, — All Creation shouts in chorus, " Nothing shall be secret now ! " VII. Earth's forgotten wastes and comers, Peopled tliick through gold broadcast. Tell the scoffers and the scorners How she is " subdued " at last : God commands ; and notliing fi'ees ils TiU that word wc aU obey, — Even China bows to Jesus, Even Africa doth pray! HEART AND MIND. VIII. Ravel-skcins of old beginnings Tapestried around the Cross, — And Creation's final Avinnings Well outbalancing her loss, — AH subdued, and all replenish'd, AH things, sealing up the sum, Preach, how nearly, It is finish'd, Tell how soon the Chi-ist will come! LYEICS OF THE %\t fmrt's fatljcst. How little we know of each other ! How lightly and loosely are known ! How seldom is brother with brother The same as he is when alone; Though relatives romid a man gather, Thouo-h cordial he seem with his friend, Not even the child and its father As spu'it with sphit can blend ! hEaut and mind. II. The depths of a man are not sounded, The heights of liis thoughts are not seen, The breadth of liis feehngs imbounded Is veil'd by Society's screen; We none of us heed what a greatness Is hidden away in the Heart That, mask'd in a well-bred sedateness, Is playing its company part. III. O Sold ! that in solitude yearnest For tenderer knowledge of friends, The intimate, honest, and earnest, Untainted by Self and its ends, — AJas ! for the lies of romances, And stolid reahty's truth; Alas ! for the generous fancies '• That gladden' d a man in liis youth ! 8 LYEICS OF THE IV. Not here, where m spuit thou starrest, Athirst for the flagons of love, Not here — is the happy heart-harvest That gladdens the blessed above; In heavenly meads we may reap it, — But now the heart's garden is found With scarcely one flower to keep it Mapp'd out from the wilderness roimd ! V. Those " spirits made perfect " in glory ! I long their companion to be, — That Love's ever-musical story Be sung by those reapers — and me ; That Heart may discover its treasures Unfearing, to dear ones above. And all the ftdl harvest of pleasm-es Be reap'd by the Spirit of Love ! HEART AND MIND. 9 %mm\\ Ml I. By the waste of toil and treasure For so slender gains, — By the poor amoimt of pleasure Bought of many pains, — By the hopes and fears imceasing Both in tvnn put out, — By the worries still increasing With theu' rabble rout, — 10 LYEICS OF THE Human Life, thou robe of Nessus ! We are clad in cares ; And the very joys that bless us Are but snakes and snares ; And the troubles and the trials, Somehow wisely sent, Turn to seem pernicious vials Pour'd in pmiishnient ! n. By each vast anticipation And its meagre fact, — By so slight appreciation Of each generous act, — By the coldness, and the meanness In too many fomid, — By the hard mildndly keenness Watcliing all aromid, — • HEABT AND MIND. 11 Human Life, thou face of Gorgon ! We are hardcn'd up, And each sjonpathetic organ Freezes at thy cup, And affection's piu'cst feeling Curdles into gall, And Eelioion's touch of healino- Does not sweeten aU ! III. By the Past, — a word of sadness Wet with silly tears ; By the Present, — promised gladness Cheating us for years ; By the Putine, — di-ead enigma, Wlio shall guess its truth? By Fame's hreath, and Slander's stigma Vexing Age and Youth; — 12 LYRICS OF THE Human Life, O bitter sweetness, Chequer'd white and black, — Yet dost thou achieve a meetness Wliich thy children lack ; Whatsoe'er the wind or weather, Joy it is to teU All things work for good together And shall yet be well ! IV. By the thousand tints of Beauty Dropt on every side, — By the magic thought of Duty ^T-iatsoe'er betide, — By the mercies yet about us Little understood, By all else within, -v^athout us, Ministermg good, — HEAHT AND MIND. 13 Hiiman Life ! O wondrous story ! Full of light and shade, Soon shalt thou be lit with glory That can never fade; Soon Affection and Ambition Shall be fully blown, And Our Life achieve its mission On a Koyal Tlii'one! 14 LYRICS OF THE 3ttraxti0iti <^ Love must have loveliness to feed upon, Or he shall starve : the beautiful, the piu'e. The sister-spu'it's innocent sweet lure Drawing out fi-agrance like a gentle sim, — The frankness, yet the tenderness, of truth Noiu'ishing up for their immortal youth The nm-selings of Affection one by one, — With charities, and looks and voices kind. The gracious heart, the free and generous mind,- These are Love's intimates, his brotherhood, Joy of his soul and apple of liis eye, The noble and the comely and the good ; But if such true companions be not nigh, He pines away for want of spirit-food. HEABT AND MIND. 15 I Love is akin to Peace, that mother's child, Dying of clamour: love, the lamp of life, Sliines as a moon in harvest, mellow and mild, Not flaring up with Etna's fierj strife : Love sin-inks from all contention ; gentle things, The charitable thought and word and deed, The patient cheerfidness that sits and sings. Plying its daily duty, well agreed With all around, — here Love may fold his wings; But he shall spread them, hastmg to be fi-eed From meannesses and strifes; the jealous look, The jarring nerves of a discordant tongue, He cannot dwell with these; and will not brook Such poison-asps his flowers and fruits among. 16 LYBICS OF THE €m\i §n ai I. Man ! weak insect, poor and proud, Atom, lost amid the crowd, Ever pusliing on through life Biiffeted by sinM strife, — Man ! mere drop of all those seas. Leaf among the forest trees, Palti'y pebble on the shore Heap'd by myi-iad myriads more, — HEART AND MIND. Man ! mean item in the list, Hardly comited, little miss'd, Unconsider'd and miknown, Lightly cared for, left alone, Daily toiling m thy lot, And, when dead, remember'd not,- Man ! how evil is thy state, Cold, and stern, and desolate ! II. ]\Ian ! rare eliiysalis of Light Watch'd and nurst by angels bright, Heir of Grandeiu's ! soon to be Eipen'd and reveal'd in thee, — Man ! true claimant of the Skies, Owner of Creation's prize.

LYBICS OF THE Man ! great end of all beside, To the Lord of axl allied, — Undiscover'd lump of gold, Spring unseal'd of joys imtold, In thy duties daily blest, And — when aU are done — at Eest ; Man ! how beauteous and divine Is this low estate of thine! HEABT AND MI]>nD. Ifl Weiteb, whosoe'er thou art, Speaker, on whatever theme, Write and speak from heart to heart, Truly being what you seem ; Thoughts and words alone have power "WTien they reach us quick and fresh. And the spirit of the hour Turns these stones to hearts of flesh ! 20 LYKICS OF THE II. Living truth, that bubbles hot Like a Geyser in the soul, Boils and steams and slackens not TiU it ovei-flows its bowl; Strongly runs the cui-rent then, Swiftly all the sluices fiU, And the swollen hearts of men Make a river to thy will ! III. "Wlio can Avonder that in vain Scores of dullards preach for years, Lulhng conscience to its bane Fast asleep in hopes and fears? All is death: each fossil thought Word-embedded hes in clay, And no heart is touch'd or taught To feel, to tremble, or to pray. HEART AND MIND. IV. 21 It is not eloquence, nor skill, Nor any human power or art. That siu-ely sways another's will, Controls his life and cheers his heart ; It is the frank and earnest plan Of simple truth sincerely spoken, « That breaks the spirit of a man, Or heals it up however broken ! V. Seek then a living. Warmth within To work with vital force without; Drive from thee selfisliness and sin. And Im-e thy timorous graces out; Then write or speak what impulse wills. And no man shall Avithstand the powei' That from the lip of truth distils In quicken'd feeling's thrilling hom\ 22 LYHICS OF THE %\t pngltlr €ni I* Happier under other skies, — So cbeams man — Happier, linlc'd Avith other ties, Better, worthier, and more wise, "Were Life's plan : n.

Meantime, Duty's leaf and flower Both must wither; And, for Peace of Mind, — each hour Breeds its harpies to devom-, Fiappmg hither. VII. Then does Life, so vain at best. Pine more weakly. Vampires draining it of rest. Where Contentment had been blest Bearing meekly. VIII. Oh ! let be ; thy fate is fixt. Cast by Heaven; Futm-e, Past, and all betwixt Is a chahce sln-ewdly mixt, — Must and leaven : HEABT AND MIND. 25 IX. Well fermented, weal and woe Make soul's wine, — And hereafter thou shalt Imow How Life's hitter yeast helow Doth refine. X. Earth may make thee taste her gall, Or di'ink it up ; But Heaven shall make amends for all Wlien thou dost keep high festival At God's own cup. 26 LYRICS OF THE |atiei\a; t\t fiht But this dead level, — Patience ; what a change From Passion's craggy glens and crested heights ! What a dull ebb, — stao-nation sad and stranoje Prom PeeUng's tide of boundless ocean range With flooding hopes and terrors and dehghts ! O Patience, — yet thou hast a baser name Cut in the flint of man's enduring heart, — Callous contempt alike of scorn and fame, Self, well resign'd to play the Stoic part, Or truer, as an Epiciu-e, to stand Balancing present comforts in the hand With cold pliilosophy: see, that thou disomi This evil fruit of worldly trouble so^^T^ Which Man calls Patience, God, the heart of stone.

All noblest active impulses and loves Energized and en corn-aged and enjoy'd, — Then counsels Patience ; with her oily balm Lulling life's roughenmg sm-face to a calm. 28 LYEICS OF THE gl lla^lrn; at |caxt Never have regrets, brother, But for sake of sin; The treacherous heart within All too soon forgets, brother, How it felt, and was, in thought, Acting out the thing it ought. AH thy will was well, brother, "Well didst thou deserve; Circumstance might swerve. But, the truth to tell, brother. Consequences none foresee Never need be cares to thee. HEAUT AND MIND. 29 Always for the best, brother, Hoiu'ly hast thou striven ; Though to be forgiven, This shall be thy test, brother, — Did not honest zeal obey Duty's impulse every day? ^Iiat seem'd then so right, brother, Let no ccnsiu'e now.

Scorn not what thou wast, brother, — Trust not what thou art; Watch thy coward heart; Look to that thou hast, brother ; Nothing is witliin thy power. But the swiftly passing horn". Therefore do not set, brother, Sorrow on the past; Wlien the die is cast Never nm'se regret, brother : Only for thy sin be sad, For all beside be wisely glad ! HEABT AND MINI). bl IHf-r^straint. Thee from thyself to rescue and to save, O man ! is God's salvation ; other foes Were easier conquest, even to the grave : And for this end our God commandment gave That, all tilings whereby Nature works, in those Should man resist, lest he should be their slave : " Thou shalt not " — is the law ; however hot Be wrath, or covetous Avish, or low desire, Or any selfish piu-pose, thou shalt Not: Within thee Hes a hidden fount of fire. And, if with evil thou dost fan a blaze, Woe, for the flaming house ; if self-control Chastens its fierceness into genial rays, Eejoice ! it glows the hearth-fii'e of the soul. 32 LYBICS OF THE |l M0rJf of mUm. Make the best of all thina's, As thy lot is cast; Whatsoe'er we call tilings, All is well at last, If meanwhile in cheerful power Patience rules the suffering hoiu'. Make the best of all things, — Howsoe'er they be ; Change may well befall things If it's ill with thee ; And if well, this present joy Let no futm-c fears destroy. heaut and mestd. 33 Make the best of all things, — That is Wisdom's word ; In the day of small things Is its comfort heard, — And its blessing soothes not less Any heyday of success. Make the best of all things; Discontent's old leaven Falsely would forestall things Antedating heaven, — But smile thoti and rest content, Bearmg trials wisely sent. 34 LYBICS OP THE KnJriMlrttitlitiy. © I. Measiire not thyself with others, — Heed the ■work thou hast to do ; Each man's duty, not liis brother's, Is his goal to keep in view: Nature, circumstance, and station, With what God from each exacts As his tribute to Creation, These decide om' aims and acts. HEABT AND MIND. 35 II. Every creature fitly fasliion'd Hath its being's final cause ; And om- minds and hearts impassion'd Beat with individual laws : All are various, differing measures FiU us each with power to work, And the sphit's special treasures Latent in each bosom Im^k. III. How shouldst thou declare the causes That have \ATOught thy brother thus? Plastic Wisdom never pauses In such modelling of us : How canst thou suggest the reasons For his baser life or lot? Matter has its changing seasons, Whj should Spirit vary not ? 36 LYRICS OF THE lY. Shall the Arctic blame the Torrid? Shall the East defame the West? Shall the foot rehiilie the forehead That it thuiks iu lazy rest? Every creatm-e to its mission. Every bullet to its mark, Every man in his condition AVanted for the Chm-ch's Ai'k ! Scorn not, — envy not, — and judge not : Scorn is Folly's cruel wife; And, for Envy, — Chm'l, begrudge not Some poor brother's luck in life; And, for Judgment, — to om- Master Singly we must stand or fall ; Life's Eoreknower, and Forecaster, Wills, and weighs, and shapes it all!

Think not, O man, that strong Temptation's hour, For all thy might of mind, is past to thee ; Dream not, presumptuons, that thy state is free From e\al chance and change and Satan's power.

New hopes, new motives, all things ever new Expelling all things old, however dear. Uproot the mind from growing strong and true, And the poor heart in all its longings sear.

O glorious and glad ! when in fulness and power The soul shall expand like an amaranth flower, And open her beauties for every eye. And shed out her fi-agrance on all that come nigh, And freely fly forth on the wings of a dove, And float in a raptm'c of pmified love ! HEABT AND MESTD. 169 — There, soon in the garments of praise shall I see The spu-its that here have been dearest to me, Those beautiful darhngs, by memory slu'ined In the roots of the heart and the stem of the mind, On the magical leaves of affection imprest And burst into blossom, as spirits made blest ! How happy hereafter in imion most sweet Such cherish'd and glorified dear ones to meet ! And here, to look forward to those gone before In the joy and the hope of such meeting once more ! And now, to look upward and feel without fear That these are His messengers helping us here ! 170 LYRICS OF TBTi %, €, ^, My pretty one beneath the sod, Mj pretty one beyond the sky, My darhng gone to be with God, And nevermore to moan or die, — My Ahce ! fast asleep in flowers Beneath the shadow of the Cross, How blest is such a loss as om-s "VMien thou art gainer by that loss !

III. What vision was ever more piteous than tliis, — To watch her, so wan and so weak. With white little hands reaching up for a kiss When faint and unable to speak ; What memory ever so joyous, — that oft Those dear little- hands she would raise, So tremblingly feeble, so small and so soft. In prayer and the music of praise ! 174 LYRICS OF THE IV. O Death, what a loveliness holy and calm, All silently solemnly sweet, Invested with bhss and anointed with balm My babe from her face to her feet ! The silken-fringed eyelashes slept on her cheek, And her mouth was a rosebud half-blown, And her fingers were folded so prayerfrilly meek. And her foot was a lily in stone ! In an ark snowy-wliite with its silvery sheen, And scatter'd AX'ith flow'rets of spring. Deep under the turf all mossy and green. We have left thee, thou dear Httle thing !

How have I let such fogbanks of reserve, Such idle clouds of undesign'd neglect Hide from my spirit thy most lovely light ! — Alas ! too late : — but tliat we meet asrain, — Where spirits are made perfect ; and shall glow With happier fervom in each other's joy; For this our introductory world doth lead N 178 LYRICS OF thj: To one where all is open, heart with heart Commingling intimately as flame with flame : Oh, not too late, dear Brother ! for my soul Was ever yearning secretly on thee ; Was ever full of thoughts unshown, unspoken, That from the censer of affection rose In ceaseless love for thee, my gentle Brother ! For, if an angel ever walk'd this earth In blessed ministration of all good.

It Avill not do to stand aside ; Rank has its duties, as its dues ; The latter will we not refuse, If met with anything but pride.

A MINDFUL man, but hearted like a child, Lived near mj dwelling : he was frank and glad. Though many sorrows might have made him sad. But, to say sooth, his cheerfulness beguiled The way of life so well, that trouble's power Was half unheeded, like a passing shower : Still as he went he sang, hoping the best. And restless energy claim'd every hour. And with a buoyant spirit he was blest: One day we rode together on the grass, Talking of bygone years and all the rest So look'd for and so swiftly seen to pass, Wlien, as my gloomier spirit sigh'd Alas ! Thus to his pony's gallop keeping time His heart exulting pour'd itself in rhyme : — HEAHT AND MIND. 197 Huzzah, — huzzah !

Huzzah for the past, whatever betide; Huzzah ! in piety, not in pride : Gratefid and glad may the sphit be seen. And humble at heart, though triumphant in mien, Wliile Sincerity sings right out Where Vanity lying would darken with doubt, — For happiness, honour, and help always, Huzzah ! give God the praise ! 198 LYBICS OF THE HEAET AND MIND.
