Tabb Centenary Year XLIV Five lyrics by Rev. John B. Tabb. Asleep
Nay, wake him not! July 1881 (p. 164, Life, Death and Similar Themes: Sleep) The Stroke of the Hour
If I were dead, and yonder chime 1910 (p. 157, Life, Death and Similar Themes: Memory) The Voyager
Far inland, where the sea, 1910 (p. 167, Life, Death and Similar Themes: Sleep) From Paradise
All else that in the limit lies May 1896 (p. 185, Life, Death and Similar Themes: Miscellaneous) The Departed
They cannot wholly pass away, December 1893 (p. 125, Life, Death and Similar Themes: Sleep) [“The Voyager”: a bar is a ridge of sand or gravel on a shore or streambed, produced by action of wave and wind, and has become symbolic of a line of demarcation; Fr. Tabb’s “slumber-bar” would be the passage made from sleeping to awakening; see also “Crossing the Bar”, a poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson.] 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. 08/09/09 11:23:20 AM |
