Oliver Wendell Holmes Poems

• Thus Saith The Lord, I Offer Thee Three Things
  In poisonous dens, where traitors hide
  Like bats that fear the day,
  While all the land our charters claim
  Is sweating blood and breathing flame, ...
• J. D. R

  What shallow waves divide!
  I miss the form for many a year
  Still seated at my side. ...
• At The Summit
  Sister, we bid you welcome, - we who stand
  On the high table-land;
  We who have climbed life's slippery Alpine slope,
  And rest, still leaning on the staff of hope, ...
• Humboldt's Birthday
  Ere yet the warning chimes of midnight sound,
  Set back the flaming index of the year,
  Track the swift-shifting seasons in their round
  Through fivescore circles of the swinging sphere! ...
• Hymn At The Funeral Services Of Charles Sumner, April 29, 1874
  Once more, ye sacred towers,
  Your solemn dirges sound;
  Strew, loving hands, the April flowers,
  Once more to deck his mound. ...
