Tabb Centenary Year XLVIII Five lyrics by Rev. John B. Tabb. Transfigured
Throughout the livelong summer day November 1893 (p. 113, Life, Death and Similar Themes: Life) Love Immortal
The soul that sees no hell below, 1910 (p. 137, Life, Death and Similar Themes: Love) Survival
The tempest past— November 1909 (p. 156,Life, Death and Similar Themes: Memory) Limitation
Breathe above me or below; November 1893 (p. 109, Life, Death and Similar Themes: Life) An Interpreter
What, O Eternity, 1902 (p. 142, Life, Death and Similar Themes: Love) [“Survival”: this poem was the last of Father Tabb's poetry published during his lifetime. “Limitation”: Father Tabb’s niece, Jennie Masters Tabb, quotes (p. 81) her uncle as having said of this poem, “The best of my work, according to my judgment”; she gives no indication, however, of when he made that pronouncement.] 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. 09/06/09 08:38:57 PM |
