Awake ye muses nine, sing me a strain divine,
Unwind the solemn twine, and tie my Valentine!

Oh the Earth was made for lovers, for damsel, and hopeless swain,
For sighing, and gentle whispering, and unity made of twain.
All things do go a courting, in earth, or sea, or air,
God hath made nothing single but thee in His world so fair!
The bride, and then the bridegroom, the two, and then the one,
Adam, and Eve, his consort, the moon, and then the sun;
The life doth prove the precept, who obey shall happy be,
Who will not serve the sovereign, be hanged on fatal tree.
The high do seek the lowly, the great do seek the small,
None cannot find who seeketh, on this terrestrial ball;
The bee doth court the flower, the flower his suit receives,
And they make merry wedding, whose guests are hundred leaves;
The wind doth woo the branches, the branches they are won,
And the father fond demandeth the maiden for his son.
The storm doth walk the seashore humming a mournful tune,
The wave with eye so pensive, looketh to see the moon,
Their spirits meet together, they make their solemn vows,
No more he singeth mournful, her sadness she doth lose.
The worm doth woo the mortal, death claims a living bride,
Night unto day is married, morn unto eventide;
Earth is a merry damsel, and heaven a knight so true,
And Earth is quite coquettish, and beseemeth in vain to sue.
Now to the application, to the reading of the roll,
To bringing thee to justice, and marshalling thy soul:
Thou art a human solo, a being cold, and lone,
Wilt have no kind companion, thou reap'st what thou hast sown.
Hast never silent hours, and minutes all too long,
And a deal of sad reflection, and wailing instead of song?
There's Sarah, and Eliza, and Emeline so fair,
And Harriet, and Susan, and she with curling hair!
Thine eyes are sadly blinded, but yet thou mayest see
Six true, and comely maidens sitting upon the tree;
Approach that tree with caution, then up it boldly climb,
And seize the one thou lovest, nor care for space, or time!
Then bear her to the greenwood, and build for her a bower,
And give her what she asketh, jewel, or bird, or flower —
And bring the fife, and trumpet, and beat upon the drum —
And bid the world Goodmorrow, and go to glory home!

2. There is another sky

there is another sky
ever serene and fair,
and there is another sunshine,
tho' it be darkness there -
never mind faded forests, Austin,
never mind silent fields -
here is a little forest
whose leaf is ever green -
here is a brighter garden -
where not a frost has been,
in its unfading flowers
I hear the bright bee hum,
prithee, my Brother,
into my garden come!

3. Sic transit gloria mundi

Sic transit gloria mundi
"How doth the busy bee"
Dum vivamus vivamus
I stay mine enemy! —

Oh veni vidi vici!
Oh caput cap-a-pie!
And oh "memento mori"
When I am far from thee

Hurrah for Peter Parley
Hurrrah for Daniel Boone
Three cheers sir, for the gentleman
Who first observed the moon —

Peter put up the sunshine!
Pattie arrange the stars
Tell Luna, tea is waiting
And call your brother Mars —

Put down the apple Adam
And come away with me
So shal't thou have a pippin
From off my Father's tree!

I climb the "Hill of Science"
I "view the Landscape o'er"
Such transcendental prospect
I ne'er beheld before! —

Unto the Legislature
My country bids me go,
I'll take my india rubbers
In case the wind should blow.

During my education
It was announced to me
That gravitation stumbling
Fell from an apple tree —

The Earth opon it's axis
Was once supposed to turn
By way of a gymnastic
In honor to the sun —

It was the brave Columbus
A sailing o'er the tide
Who notified the nations
Of where I would reside

Mortality is fatal
Gentility is fine
Rascality, heroic
Insolvency, sublime

Our Fathers being weary
Laid down on Bunker Hill
And though full many a morn'g
Yet they are sleeping still

The trumpet sir, shall wake them
In streams I see them rise
Each with a solemn musket
A marching to the skies!

A coward will remain, Sir,
Until the fight is done;
But an immortal hero
Will take his hat and run.

Good bye Sir, I am going
My country calleth me
Allow me Sir, at parting
To wipe my weeping e'e

In token of our friendship
Accept this "Bonnie Doon"
And when the hand that pluck'd it
Hath passed beyond the moon

The memory of my ashes
Will consolation be
Then farewell Tuscarora
And farewell Sir, to thee.

4. On this wondrous sea

Write! Comrade, write!

On this wondrous sea
Sailing silently,
Ho! Pilot, ho!
Knowest thou the shore
Where no breakers roar -
Where the storm is o'er?

In the peaceful west
Many the sails at rest -
The anchors fast -
Thither I pilot thee -
Land Ho! Eternity!
Ashore at last!

5. I have a Bird in spring

I have a Bird in spring
Which for myself doth sing -
The spring decoys.
And as the summer nears -
And as the Rose appears,
Robin is gone.

Yet do I not repine
Knowing that Bird of mine
Though flown -
Learneth beyond the sea
Melody new for me
And will return.

Fast in safer hand
Held in a truer Land
Are min -
And though they now depart,
Tell I my doubting heart
They're thine.

In a serener Bright,
In a more golden light
I see
Each little doubt and fear,
Each little discord here
Removed.

Then will I not repine,
Knowing that Bird of mine
Though flown
Shall in distant tree
Bright melody for me
Return.

6. Frequently the woods are pink

Frequently the woods are pink —
Frequently are brown.
Frequently the hills undress
Behind my native town.
Oft a head is crested
I was wont to see —
And as oft a cranny
Where it used to be —
And the Earth — they tell me —
On its axis turned!
Wonderful Rotation!
By but twelve performed!

7. The feet of people walking home

The feet of people walking home
With gayer sandals go -
The crocus - till she rises -
The vassal of the snow -
The lips at Hallelujah
Long years of practise bore -
Till bye and bye, these Bargemen
Walked - si...

1583. Witchcraft was hung, in History,
1584. Expanse cannot be lost —
1585. The Bird her punctual music brings

1635. The Jay his Castanet has struck
1636. The Sun in reigning to the West

1638. Go thy great way!
1639. A Letter is a joy of Earth —
1640. Take all away from me, but leave me Ecstasy,
1641. Betrothed to Righteousness might be

1668. If I could tell how glad I was
1669. In snow thou comest —
1670. In Winter in my Room
1671. Judgment is justest

1693. The Sun retired to a cloud
1694. The wind drew off
1695. There is a solitude of space

1697. They talk as slow as Legends grow
1698. 'Tis easier to pity those when dead

1707. Winter under cultivation
1708. Witchcraft has not a Pedigree
1709. With sweetness unabated
1710. A curious Cloud surprised the Sky,
1711. A face devoid of love or grace,
1712. A Pit — but Heaven over it —
1713. As subtle as tomorrow
1714. By a departing light
1715. Consulting summer's clock,
1716. Death is like the insect
1717. Did life's penurious length
1718. Drowning is not so pitiful
1719. God is indeed a jealous God —
1720. Had I known that the first was the last

1722. Her face was in a bed of hair,
1723. High from the earth I heard a bird,
1724. How dare the robins sing,
1725. I took one Draught of Life —
1726. If all the griefs I am to have
1727. If ever the lid gets off my head
1728. Is Immortality a bane
1729. I've got an arrow here.
1730. "Lethe" in my flower,
1731. Love can do all but raise the Dead
1732. My life closed twice before its close —
1733. No man saw awe, nor to his house
1734. Oh, honey of an hour,
1735. One crown that no one seeks
1736. Proud of my broken heart, since thou didst break it,
1737. Rearrange a "Wife's" affection!
1738. Softened by Time's consummate plush,
1739. Some say goodnight — at night —
1740. Sweet is the swamp with its secrets,
1741. That it will never come again
1742. The distance that the dead have gone
1743. The grave my little cottage is,
1744. The joy that has no stem no core,
1745. The mob within the heart
1746. The most important population
1747. The parasol is the umbrella's daughter,
1748. The reticent volcano keeps
1749. The waters chased him as he fled,
1750. The words the happy say
1751. There comes an hour when begging stops,
1752. This docile one inter
1753. Through those old Grounds of memory,
1754. To lose thee — sweeter than to gain
1755. To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,
1756. 'Twas here my summer paused
1757. Upon the gallows hung a wretch,
1758. Where every bird is bold to go
1759. Which misses most,
1760. Elysium is as far as to
1761. A train went through a burial gate,
1762. Were natural mortal lady
1763. Fame is a bee.
1764. The saddest noise, the sweetest noise,
1765. That Love is all there is,
1766. Those final Creatures, — who they are —
1767. Sweet hours have perished here
1768. Lad of Athens, faithful be
1769. The longest day that God appoints
1770. Experiment escorts us last —
1771. How fleet — how indiscreet an one —
1772. Let me not thirst with this Hock at my Lip,
1773. The Summer that we did not prize,
1774. Too happy Time dissolves itself
