Tabb Centenary Year XXIV Five poems by Rev. John B. Tabb. Dawn
Love told a Star the vision that beguiled November 1898 (p. 71, Nature: Day and Night) The Recompense
She brake the box, and all the house was filled March 1891 (p. 229, Religion: Lent and Easter) Evolution
Out of the dusk a shadow, 1894 (p. 157, Life, Death, and Similar Themes: The World) Easter Morning
Behold, the night of sorrow gone, 1897 (p. 340, Religion: Lent and Easter) Resurrection
All that springeth from the sod March 1894 (p. 159, Life, Death, and Similar Themes: The World) [Today is Easter Sunday, on which day Christians celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. “The Recompense”: the first stanza alludes to the Gospel story of the sinful woman washing the Lord’s feet with her hair, Luke 7:36-50. “Easter Morning”: the poem alludes to Matthew 28:8-10, wherein St. Mary Magdalen is one of the women greeted by the Risen Lord. “Resurrection”: the story of Samson is told in the Old Testament book of Judges; the specific occasion to which the last stanza alludes is recounted in Judges 16:15-21.] Lane Core Jr. CIW P Sun. 04/12/09 11:21:33 AM |
