Tabb Centenary Year XXII Five poems by Rev. John B. Tabb. Good Friday
Behold in every crimson glow (p. 344, Quatrains: Religion) Seeming Failure
O wave upon the strand! May 1903 (p. 118, Life, Death, and Similar Themes: Life) Helplessness
In patience as in labour must thou be December 1903 (p. 341, Quatrains: Religion) On Calvary
In the shadow of the rood April 1895 (p. 226, Religion: Lent and Easter) The Tollmen
Lo, Silence, Sleep, and Death April 1896 (p. 123, Life, Death, and Similar Themes: Death) [Today is Good Friday, on which day Christians commemorate the Passion and death of the Lord Jesus Christ. “Seeming Failure”: the strand is the beach; baffled means thwarted. “On Calvary”: a rood is a cross. “The Tollmen”: the first “nor” in the second stanza should be understood as “neither”.] Lane Core Jr. CIW P Fri. 04/10/09 07:16:28 AM |
