83. The Cotter's Saturday Night

...s undaunted heart,
Who dar’d to nobly stem tyrannic pride,
 Or nobly die, the second glorious part:
 (The patriot’s God peculiarly thou art,
His friend, inspirer, guardian, and reward!)
 O never, never Scotia’s realm desert;
But still the patriot, and the patriot-bard
In bright succession raise, her ornament and guard!

Some conflict with those upper friends
So genial in the main

Their arrogant campaign --...Read more of this...

Isaac and Archibald

...
In face of all precedence and respect,
Till Isaac (who had come to us unheard) 
Found he had no tobacco, looked at me 
Peculiarly, and asked of Archibald 
What ailed the boy to make him chirrup so. 
From that he told us what a blessed world
The Lord had given us.—“But, Archibald,” 
He added, with a sweet severity 
That made me think of peach-skins and goose-flesh, 
“I’m half afraid you cut those oats of yours 
A day or two before they were well set.”
“They were set well enou...Read more of this...

The Boston Athenaeum

...r, old, sleepy place is full of spells
For us, by right of long inheritance.
The building simply bodies forth a thought
Peculiarly inherent to the race.
And we, descendants of that elder time,
Have learnt to love the very form in which
The thought has been embodied to our years.
And here we feel that we are not alone,
We too are one with our own richest past;
And here that veiled, but ever smouldering fire
Of race, which rarely seen yet never dies,
Springs up afresh and warms...Read more of this...

The Negro Girl

...Nature tell me why--
"Is taunting scorn the lot, of thy dark progeny?


VII. 

"Thou gav'st, in thy caprice, the Soul
"Peculiarly enshrin'd;

"The Jewel of the mind!
"Then wherefore let the suff'ring *****'s breast
"Bow to his fellow, MAN, in brighter colours drest.


VIII.

"That marks him for despair?--
"While men with blood their hands embrue,
"And mock the wretch's pray'r?
"Shall guiltless Slaves the Scourge of...Read more of this...

The Pangolin

...itary trips through unfamiliar ground at night,
 returning before sunrise, stepping in the moonlight,
 on the moonlight peculiarly, that the outside
 edges of his hands may bear the weight and save the claws
 for digging. Serpentined about
 the tree, he draws
 away from danger unpugnaciously,
 with no sound but a harmless hiss; keeping

the fragile grace of the Thomas-
 of-Leighton Buzzard Westminster Abbey wrought-iron vine, or
rolls himself into a ball that has
 power to de...Read more of this...
