The Builders

ODE FOR THE HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF PRINCETON COLLEGE

October 21, 1896

If?

© Augusta Davies Webster

If I should die this night, (as well might be,
So pain has on my weakness worked its will),
And they should come at morn and look on me

Seeking And Finding

© Robert Laurence Binyon

Thinking of shores that I shall never see,
And things that I would know but am forbid
By Time and briefness, treasuries locked from me
In unknown tongue or human bosom hid,

So shall thy presence and thine every motion,
The grateful knowledge of thy sad devotion
Melt out the passionate hardness of his grief,
And break the flood-gates of thy pent-up soul.
He shall bow down beneath thy mute control,
And take thine hands, and weep, and find relief.

Tribute To The Memory Of The Rev. Sister The Nativity, Foundress Of The Convent Of Villa Maria

© Rosanna Eleanor Leprohon

Oh, Villa Maria, thrice favored spot,
Unclouded sunshine is still thy lot
Since first, neath thy mortal old,
The spouses of Christworking out Gods will,
Meekly entered, their mission high to fill
Mid the little ones of His fold.

The Open Door

© Alfred Noyes

O Mystery of life,
That, after all our strife,
Defeats, mistakes,
Just as, at last, we see
The road to victory,
The tired heart breaks.

The Heroic Enthusiasts - Part The Second =Fifth Dialogue=.

© Giordano Bruno

Of those, oh gentle Dames, who with closed urn,
Present themselves, whose hearts are pierced
Not for a fault by nature caused,
But through a cruel fate,
That in a living death,
Does hold them fast, we each and all are blind.

Le Forgeron (The Blacksmith)

© Arthur Rimbaud

Le bras sur un marteau gigantesque, effrayant

D'ivresse et de grandeur, le front large, riant

The Heroic Enthusiasts - Part The Second =First Dialogue.=

© Giordano Bruno

MAR. We know that you are not a theologian but a philosopher, and that
you treat of philosophy and not of theology.

The Visit Of Mahmoud Ben Suleim To Paradise

© Paul Hamilton Hayne

Perchance the past of man--and thence to draw
From far experience, sanctified by awe
Of God's mysterious ways, some hint to tell
Who of the dead in heaven and who in hell
Dwelt now in endless bliss or endless bale.

A Legacy

© John Greenleaf Whittier

Friend of my many years!

When the great silence falls, at last, on me,

For The Holy Family By Michelangelo

© Dante Gabriel Rossetti

TURN not the prophet's page, O Son! He knew

All that Thou hast to suffer, and hath writ.

Manfred: A Dramatic Poem. Act II.

© George Gordon Byron

CHAMOIS HUNTER
No, no -- yet pause -- thou must not yet go forth:
Thy mind and body are alike unfit
To trust each other, for some hours, at least;
When thou art better, I will be thy guide--
But whither?

A Chord Of Colour

My Lady clad herself in grey,

That caught and clung about her throat;

Miserie

Lord, let the Angels praise thy name.
Man is a foolish thing, a foolish thing,
Folly and Sinne play all his game.
His house still burns; and yet he still doth sing,
Man is but grasse,
He knows it, fill the glasse.

The Renewal

No more of sorrow, the world's old distress,
Nor war of thronging spirits numberless,
Immortal ardours in brief days confined,
No more the languid fever of mankind
