Philip Freneau Evening Poems
- 1. Eutaw Springs
At Eutaw Springs the valiant died;
Their limbs with dust are covered o'er;
Weep on, ye springs, your tearful tide;
How many heroes are no more!
... - 2. To The Memory Of The Brave Americans
Under General Greene, in South Carolina,
who fell in the action of September 8, 1781
... - 3. To A New England Poet
Though skilled in Latin and in Greek,
And earning fifty cents a week,
Such knowledge, and the income, too,
Should teach you better what to do:
... - 4. The Vernal Age
Where the pheasant roosts at night,
Lonely, drowsy, out of sight,
Where the evening breezes sigh
Solitary, there stray I.
...
