Celestial Heights

Hail! steep ascents and winding ways,
Glimmering through melting morning haze,
Hail! mountain herd-bells chiming clear!
Hail! meads and cherry-orchards green,
And hail, thrice hail! thou golden mean,
The châlet's simple cheer!
Cry Of The Children

Do ye hear the children weeping, O my brothers,
Ere the sorrow comes with years?

Say what you will, there is not in the world
A nobler sight than from this upper Down.

Tambourgi! Tambourgi! thy 'larum afar
Gives hope to the valiant, and promise of war:
All the sons of the mountains arise at the note,
Chimariot, Illyrian, and dark Suliote!
Cousin Robert

O COUSIN Robert, far away
Among the lands of gold,
How many years since we two met?--
You would not like it told.
Cleveland's Song

Farewell! Farewell! the voice you hear,
Has left its last soft tone with you,-
Its next must join the seaward cheer,
And shout among the shouting crew.
Confessio Amantis. Explicit Liber Septimus

Que favet ad vicium vetus hec modo regula confert,
Nec novus e contra qui docet ordo placet.

Quo Venus impositum devia fallit iter.

If I call, will you hear me, O comrades of mine,
When the sky in the East holds the grey of the dawn,
Charles VII And Joan Of Arc At Rheims
© Rosanna Eleanor Leprohon
A glorious pageant filled the church of the proud old city of Rheims,
One such as poet artists choose to form their loftiest themes:
There France beheld her proudest sons grouped in a glittering ring,
To place the crown upon the brow of their now triumphant king.

Cautionary Tales
Beyond the field of grazing, gazing cows
Consider The Ravens
© George MacDonald
But I consider further, and find
A hungry bird has a free mind;
He is hungry to-day, not to-morrow,
Steals no comfort, no grief doth borrow;
This moment is his, thy will hath said it,
The next is nothing till thou hast made it.
Contrasted Songs: Song Of The Going Away
© Jean Ingelow
“Old man, upon the green hillside,
With yellow flowers besprinkled o’er,
How long in silence wilt thou bide
At this low stone door?
Cock-crow

Out of the wood of thoughts that grows by night
To be cut down by the sharp axe of light, -

A Genius caged in niceties of art;
A full-souled Bard that should have thought apart,
Creatively peculiarnot as taught
By models which (though rare and richly wrought,
As polished jewels set in chastened gold)
Have lost at length their birth-fire, and are cold.
