Poems by Ebenezer Elliott
A Poet's Epitaph
... His teachers were the torn heart's wail, ...
Rural Rambles - The Village
... Oh! poor man's pathway! where, "at evening's close," ...
Battle Song
... Wrongs, vengeance, and the Cause are ours, ...
The People's Anthem
... "Man's clouded sun shall brightly rise, ...
Plaint
... Why shrieks for help yon wretch, who goes ...
In these days . . .
... And worth, per ream, a hare, when you have caught her ...
The Builders
... Read them, earth's tyrants I ponder well ...
To the Bramble Flower
... The fresh green days of life's fair spring, ...
Steam In the Desert
... E'en when they climb from ocean's breast, ...
Epigram
... Companionship in toil or sorrow Makes every man a brother:Till we have work'd or wept together We do not know each other. ...
Song
... one!Father clamm'd thrice a week -- God's will be done!Long for work did he seek, Work he found none ...
Written with a Pencil in Darfield Churchyard
... Man draws his fleeting breathIn doubt and fear,Though life for ever blooms,And smiling ev'n on tombs,Bids beauty say to death,"What dost thou here?" ...
