Messenger Bird

Thou art come from the spirit\u27s land, thou bird!Thou art come from the spirit\u27s land,Thro\u27 the dark pine grove let thy voice be heard,And tell of the shadowy band, tell of the shadowy band. We know that the bow\u27rs are green and fair,In the light of that summer shore,And we know that the fiends we have lost are there,they are there, they are there,And they weep no more. But tell us, but tell us, Tell us thou bird of the solemn strain,Can those who have lov\u27d forget?We call and they answer not again,We call and they answer not again,Oh! say do they love us yet? Do they love us yet? Do they love us yet? We call them far through the silent night,And they speak not from cave nor hill,We know thou bird, that their land is bright,But say, oh! say do they love there still?Do they lover there still? Do they love there still

Evening Song to the Virgin

Ave sanctissima,We lift our souls to thee,Ora pronobis,\u27Tis nightfall on the sea.Watch us while shadows lie,Far o\u27er the waters spread.Hear the heart\u27s lonely sigh,Thine too hath bled.Thou that hast look\u27d on Death,Aid us when Death is near.Whisper of Heav\u27n to Faith, Sweet Mother,sweet mother, hear!Ora pronobis, The wave must rock our sleep,Ora Mater ora, Star of the Deep

Mother Oh Sing Me To Rest

[Verse 1]Mother! Oh sing me to rest,As in my bright days departedSing to thy Child, the Sick Hearted,Songs for a Spirit oppress\u27d,Lay this head on thy breast,Flow\u27rs from the night dew are closing,Pilgrims and Mourners reposing,Mother Oh! sing me to rest!Sing me to rest!Sing me to rest. [Verse 2]Take back thy bird to its nest,Weary is young Life when blighted,Heavy this Love unrequited,Mother Oh! sing me to rest!Lay this head on thy breas

Records of Woman, with Other Poems

Felicia Hemans (1793-1835), one of the most influential and widely-read poets of the nineteenth century, wrote Records of Woman in 1828 at the height of her long career. In the series, which includes nineteen poems about exemplary lives, Hemans explores what it means to be a woman, challenging traditional beliefs while at the same time reinforcing persistent stereotypes. Her work celebrates the lives, events, and imagined thoughts of unremembered women from different cultures and time periods whose deeds show nobility of spirit and inner strength. In her introduction, Paula Feldman examines how Hemans\u27s poetry shaped and was shaped by nineteenth-century literary tastes, and she reconsiders the aesthetic value of Hemans\u27s work and the current understanding of the nature of Romanticism. European Romantic ReviewHas excellent and detailed notes, a good introduction, a selection of contemporary illustrations, the complete text of her best-known work, Records of Woman, and a generous selection of additional poems. -- British Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies Provides a comprehensive sample of the work of this neglected poetic figure. -- Library Booknoteshttps://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_english_language_and_literature_british_isles/1012/thumbnail.jp
