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 June 1895 (p. 155, Life, Death and Similar Themes: Life) Withdrawn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.] Lane Core Jr. CIW P Sun. 07/12/09 10:53:39 AM |
