Poems Of Charles Warren Stoddard PDF Download

Excerpt from Poems of Charles Warren Stoddard Say, Charlie Say, Charlie, our Charlie, say, What of the night? A-lo-ha! Hail! What noonful sea? What restful sail? Where tent you, Bedouin, to-day? O generous green leaves of our tree, What fruitful first young buoyant year! But bleak winds blow; the leaves are sere, And listless rustle two or three. Say, Charlie, where is Bret and Twain? Shy Prentice, and the former few? You spoke and spoke as one who knew - Now, Charlie, speak us once again! The night-wolf prowls; we guess, we grope, But day is night and night despair, And doubt seems some unuttered prayer, And hope seems hoping against hope. But, Charlie, you had faith, and you, Gentlest of all God's gentlemen, You said you knew and surely knew - Now speak, and speak as spoke you then.
