Tabb Centenary Year XL Five lyrics by Rev. John B. Tabb. The Peak
As on some solitary height January 1892 (p. 154, Life, Death and Similar Themes: Memory) Memory
I go not to the grave to weep, 1910 (p. 156, Life, Death and Similar Themes: Sympathy) Harbors
Full many a noonday nook I know February 1903 (p. 155, Life, Death and Similar Themes: Memory) Adieu
God speed thee, setting Sun! June 1895 (p. 155, Life, Death and Similar Themes: Life) Withdrawn
I miss thee everywhere. November 1906 (p. 157, Life, Death and Similar Themes: Love) [“Memory”: manna was the miraculous food provided by God to the Israelites during their sojourn in the desert; this whole poem alludes to Exodus 16; haply means by chance or accident. “Harbors”: fain means pleased or willing. “Adieu”: from the French, meaning farewell; “God speed” is a wish for success, especially on a journey.] 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. 07/12/09 10:53:39 AM |
