William Gilmore Simms Song Poems
- 1. The Bard
Where dwells the spirit of the Bard--what sky
Persuades his daring wing,--
Folded in soft carnation, or in snow
Still sleeping, far o'er summits of the cloud,
... - 2. Song In March
NOW are the winds about us in their glee,
Tossing the slender tree;
Whirling the sands about his furious car,
March cometh from afar;
... - 3. The Lost Pleiad
NOT in the sky,
Where it was seen
So long in eminence of light serene,รข??
Nor on the white tops of the glistering wave,
... - 4. Ode--
I.
Our city by the sea,
As the rebel city known,
With a soul and spirit free
... - 5. Hast Thou A Song For A Flower.
I.
HAST thou a song for a flower,
Such as, if breathed in its ear,
... - 6. Fort Wagner
I.Glory unto the gallant boys who stood
At Wagner, and, unflinching, sought the van;
Dealing fierce blows, and shedding precious blood,
For homes as precious, and dear rights of man!
... - 7. Flight To Nature
SICK of the crowd, the toil, the strife,
Sweet Nature, how I turn to thee,
Seeking for renovated life,
By brawling brook and shady tree!
...
