Tabb Centenary Year XXVI Five poems by Rev. John B. Tabb. Wild Flowers
We grow where none but God, April 1985 (p. 19, Nature: Flowers) To a Wood-Violet
In this secluded shrine, April 1896 (p. 6, Nature: Flowers) The Suppliant
“O Dewdrop, lay thy finger-tip March 1891 (p. 12, Nature: Flowers) The Flowers
They are not ours, 1882 (p. 23, Nature: Flowers) Morning and Night Bloom
A star and a rosebud white, 1897 (p. 14, Nature: Flowers) [“The Suppliant”: Dives is the name traditionally given to the rich man in the Lord’s parable recounted in Luke 16:19-31. “Morning and Night Bloom”: aye means forever.] The references (page number and section) are to The Poetry of Father Tabb, ed. Francis A. Litz, Ph.D. (New York: Dodd, Mead & Company, 1928). All of Tabb's poems published here in the Father Tabb Centenary Year were originally published before 1923. Biblical references link to the New Advent Bible comprising Bishop Challoner's edition of the Douay-Rheims Bible (English) and the Sixto-Clementine edition of the Vulgate (Latin), since they are the versions which Father Tabb would have used as a Catholic. The year 2009 is the centenary of the death of Rev. John Banister Tabb, November 19, 1909. Lane Core Jr. CIW P Sun. 04/19/09 07:52:13 AM |
