The Sacred Past Is Ours
What if we never meet again,
Except as strangers meet?
Can we forget the past, - the pain, The pleasures, sunshine and the rain,
The bitter and the sweet?
Perhaps. And, yet, I think not so.
The sacred past is ours;
And come what may, where'er…
Loved and Lost
In my ladys silken hair,
Nestling low in fragrance there,
Slept a flower, a bud of May,
Soft and pure as breath of day,
Greeting morn before the sun
Has his waking well begun.
And I wonder if my love
Is a vision from above;
If the angels gave…

The Three Easter Offerings
One beautiful Easter morning,
While nature seemed fresh and fair,
Three children of men with their offerings
Went up to the house of prayer.
The first one laid on the altar
A goodly sum of gold,
Saying "This is my Easter offering
But my heart…

Within Sound of the Moaning Sea
Young Elize and I were strolling along the sunlit shore;Elise and I were talking of days that would come no moreShe lifted up her hand and said: "These waves shall witness be, - I pledge thee my hand and heart within sound of the moaning sea."And…

Suppose the Day should wake some mornAnd find the Sun had left the skyTo Night, would she take wing and flyTo bring him back to hearts forlorn?Suppose the Night should come some eveAnd find the Stars had left the skyTo Day, would she take wing and…
The Innocents
A jaunty, tidy, sober lot ye are,
My lordly innocents. A bumper to
Your health I drink. I would that skies deep blue
In friendship's light be ever thine, thy star
Of hope be Truth, thy fondest dreams no bar
To block thy way to fame. If winds…

A Sunbeam Gently Lies
Across my path a sunbeam gently lies;
I know not whence it came - I think I know,
But, as I watch its glories come and go
It fades away! Whither then? Into the skies? I seek to follow it, with blinking eyes,
Wh[?]e things immortal [?] and…
A Cynicism
A friend in need? Ah, yes - I know - you mean,
My boy, that something which all men have sought
In one way or another: still, they've caught
It not. A phantom's fitting form you've seen,
Some sad, wild Winter's night, when you have been
Your…

Sympathy
The heart can in its deepest hours,
Find pleasure in the past,
And in its present of delight,
A joyful radiance cast.
On kindred souls an impress dwells,
A bond of union sweet,
A tender chord of love and joy,
To make that bond complete.
As…
