Not illustrated. 1872 edition. Excerpt: ... as old Swedish legends say, Of all the birds upon that day, The swallow felt the deepest grief, And longed to give her Lord relief, And chirped when any near would come, ' Hugswala swala swal honom!' Meaning, as they who tell it deem, Oh, cool, oh, cool and comfort Him! Oh soul, oh life, oh love! Whene'er A sufferer in this world draws near, Wilt thou remember ere thou go How Jesus died in bitterest woe? That thou in every brother's pain Might'st see thy Saviour live again. Then, drawing from the living stream, ' Oh, cool, oh, cool and comfort Him!' THE SWAN. WHO rides the rustling woods by night? Sweet through the green leaves shines the moon; Blue flames his steel, his plume is white, And the brook is singing an Elfin tune. His road is running with the stream, Sweet through the green leaves shines the moon; Who wakes in love still walks in dream, And the brook is singing an Elfin tune. Are those three swans white splashing there? Sweet through the green leaves shines the moon; No swans are they, but women fair, And the brook is singing an Elfin tune. On a tree their swan-robes wave and fall, Sweet through the green leaves shines the moon; And the knight, if he would, may seize them all, While the brook is singing an Elfin tune. Who wears a swan-robe merrily, Sweet through the green leaves shines the moon; May sail at will o'er land and sea, And the brook is singing an Elfin tune. He rides and leaves them hanging there: Sweet through the green leaves shines the moon; ' When you swim of your clothes take better care, There are some who would rob you, ladies fair!' And the brook is singing an Elfin tune. He rides into the deadly fight; Sweet through the green leaves shines the moon; Far o'er him fly three Swans so white, And the brook is...

Excerpt from The Music-Lesson of Confucius: And Other Poems The music spoke no more its wonted sounds, But whispered mysteries in a broken tongue Which urged him sorely. Then Confucius said O secret Music sacred tongue of God I hear thee calling to me, and I come 2 Of old I did but know thy outer form And dreamed not of the spirit hid within The Goddess in the Lotus. Yes, I come, And will not rest - nor will I calm my doubt Till I have seen thee plainly with mine eyes, And palpably have touched thee with my hand, T ken shall I know thee - raised to life for me For what thou truly art. Lo I have heard That in the land of Kin a master lives, So deeply skilled in music, that mankind Begin again to give a glowing faith Unto the golden stories which are told Of the strange harmonies which built the world, And of the melody whose key is God. Now I will travel to the land of Kin, Arid know this sage of music, great Siang, And learn the secret lore which hides within All sweet well-ordered sounds.' He went his way, Nor rested till he stood before the man. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

I was born on the 15th of August, 1824, in a house which was in Philadelphia, and in Chestnut Street, the second door below Third Street, on the north side. It had been built in the old Colonial time, and in the room in which I first saw life there was an old chimney-piece, which was so remarkable that strangers visiting the city often came to see it. It was, I believe, of old carved oak, possibly mediæval, which had been brought from some English manor as a relic. I am indebted for this information to a Mr. Landreth, who lived in the house at the time. It was then a boarding-house, kept by a Mrs. Rodgers. She had taken it from a lady who had also kept it for boarders. The daughter of this latter married President Madison. She was the well-known “Dolly Madison,” famous for her grace, accomplishments, and belle humeur, of whom there are stories still current in Washington. My authority informed me that there were among the boarders in the house two remarkable men, one of whom often petted me as a babe, and took a fancy to me. He was a Swedish Count, who had passed, it was said, a very wild life as pirate for several years on the Spanish Main. He was identified as the Count Bruno of Frederica Bremer’s novel, “The Neighbours.” The other was the famous philologist, Dufief, author of “Nature Displayed,” a work of such remarkable ability that I wonder that it should have passed into oblivion. My mother had been from her earliest years devoted to literature to a degree which was unusual at that time in the United States. She had been, as a girl, a special protégée of Hannah Adams, the author of many learned works, who was the first person buried in the Mount Auburn Cemetery of Boston. She directed my mother’s reading, and had great influence over her. My mother had also been very intimate with the daughters of Jonathan Russell, the well-known diplomatist. My maternal grandfather was Colonel Godfrey, who had fought in the war of the Revolution, and who was at one time an aide-de-camp of the Governor of Massachusetts. He was noted for the remarkable gentleness of his character. I have heard that when he went forth of a morning, all the animals on his farm would run to meet and accompany him. He had to a miraculous degree a certain sympathetic power, so that all beings, men included, loved him. I have heard my mother say that as a girl she had a tame crow who was named Tom, and that he could distinctly cry the word “What?” When Tom was walking about in the garden, if called, he would reply “What?” in a perfectly human manner.
