Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Vol. 2 Homesick In Heaven. The Angel. - Why thus, apart, - the swift-winged herald spake, - Sit ye with silent lips and unstrung lyres While the trisagion's blending chords awake In shouts of joy from all the heavenly choirs? The First Spirit. - Chide not thy sisters, - thus the answer came; - Children of earth, our half-weaned nature clings To earth's fond memories, and her whispered name Untunes our quivering lips, our saddened strings; For there we loved, and where we love is home, Home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts, Though o'er us shine the jasper-lighted dome: - The chain may lengthen, but it never parts! Sometimes a sunlit sphere comes rolling by, And then we softly whisper, - can it be? And leaning toward the silvery orb, we try To hear the music of its murmuring sea; To catch, perchance, some flashing glimpse of green, Or breathe some wild-wood fragrance, wafted through About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Vol. 2 of 3 Bill and Joe Come, dear old comrade, you and I Will steal an hour from days gone by, The shining days when life was new, And all was bright with morning dew, The lusty days of long ago, When you were Bill and I was Joe. Your name may flaunt a titled trail Proud as a cockerel's rainbow tail, And mine as brief appendix wear As Tam O'Shanter's luckless mare; To-day, old friend, remember still That I am Joe and you are Bill. You've won the great world's envied prize, And grand you look in people's eyes, With Hon. and L L. D. In big brave letters, fair to see, - Your fist, old fellow! off they go! - How are you, Bill? How are you, Joe? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Poetical Works of Oliver Wendell Holmes - Volume 07: Songs of Many Seasons by Oliver Wendell Holmes THUS I lift the sash, so longShut against the flight of song;All too late for vain excuse, -Lo, my captive rhymes are loose. Rhymes that, flitting through my brain, Beat against my window-pane, Some with gayly colored wings, Some, alas! with venomed stings. Shall they bask in sunny rays?Shall they feed on sugared praise?Shall they stick with tangled feetOn the critic's poisoned sheet? Are the outside winds too rough?Is the world not wide enough?Go, my winged verse, and try, -Go, like Uncle Toby's fly!
