Book Description
Excerpt from Southern Passages and Pictures A little farther on, there is a brook Where the breeze lingers idly. The high trees Have roofed it with their crowding limbs and leaves, SO that the sun drinks not from its sweet fount, And the shade cools it. You may hear it now, A low, faint beating, as, upon the leaves That lie beneath its rapids, it descends, In a fine showery rain, that keeps one tune, And 'tis a sweet one, still of constancy. Beside its banks, thro' the Whole live long day, Ere yet I noted much the speed of time, And knew him but in songs and ballad-books, Nor cared to know him better, I have lain With thought unchid by harsher din than came From the quick thrush, that, gliding through the copse, Hurried above me or the timid fawn That came down to the brooklet's edge. To drink, And sauntered through its shade, cropping the grass, Even Where I lay, - having a quiet mood, And not disturbing, while surveying mine.

Book Description
Excerpt from Poems, Vol. 2 of 2: Descriptive, Dramatic, Legendary, and Contemplative; I. Southern Passages and Pictures; II. Historical and Dramatic Sketched; III. Scripture Legends; IV. Francesca Da Rimini Southern Passages That sacred season of the heart, When every pulse with hope is strong, And, still untaught by selfish art, Truth fears no guile, and love no wrong. And who, but nature's self, could yield The blessing in the prayer I made, Throned in her realm of wood and field, Of rocky realm and haunted shade? Who, but that magic queen, whose sway Drives winter from his path of strife, Whilst all her thousand fingers play, With bud and bird, in games of life! With these a kindred life I ask, - Not wealth that mortals vainly seek; But, in heaven's sunshine let me bask, My heart as glowing as my cheek; - An idle heart, that would not heed That chiding voice, when duty comes, To drag the soul, but freshly freed, Back to cold toils and weary glooms. No lure she finds in mortal schemes, Which wiser fancies still reprove, - Far happier in her woodland dreams, With one sweet teacher, taught by love! Thou, Nature, that magician be, Restore each dream that taught the boy, That warm'd his hope, that made him free, While wisdom took the shape of joy; About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Summer-Land: A Southern Story IT was said by Gray, and has been said by a good many others, that any man, with talent or without, could write a useful and entertaining book, if he would only faithfully, and without affectation, detail what he has seen and heard in a sphere which the rest of the world had never seen, and was curious about. The author thinks that his little volume of J ourneyings may claim to fulfil to some extent those conditions of a good book. With the exception of a change of names, and the coloring of a story, a faithful endeavor has been made to depict a true and honest picture of life and scenery in the South; with sketches of character, customs, etc., among.

Book Description
Excerpt from Two Pictures: Or What We Think of Ourselves, and What the World Thinks of Us The incidentaand with the one exception to which allusion has been made, the characters of the book are purely imaginary, - its principles, she trusts, will be recognized as universally and eternally true. It may, perhaps, be as well to say that the scheme of Hugh Moray, for the gradual elevation of those com mitted to his care, was suggested by her acquaintance with various experiments made by conscientious Southern masters, for the advantage of their slaves. The work was not only planned, but nearly complet ed, while there was peace in the land, and nothing seemed likely to interfere with the execution of de signs so truly Christian. The delay in its publication has been the result of circumstances of no interest to any but the author. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
