CLEVELAND NEWSPAPER DIGEST JAN. 1 TO DEC. 31, 1838
Abstracts 1363 - 1365
POETRY & POETS (Cont'd)
Amidst those forest shades that proudly rear'd
Their unshorn beauty toward the favoring skies,
An axe rang sharply. There wi th vigorous arm
Wrought a bold emigrant, while by his side
His little son with question and response
Beguiled the toil.
(Eight more stanzas) (12)
1363 - H&G Apr. 10:2/1 - "I'd Be A Sub-Treasurer"
As sung by a tory office-holder with unbounded applause.
I'd be a Sub-Treasurer - true in the traces,
I'd go with "the party," till snug in my seat,
Then rove about on a pure specie basis,
Buying all things that were pretty and cheap;
Oh! how I languish for office and places,
Ohl how I sigh to see Whigs at my feet!
I'd be a Sub-Treasurer - then play the Graces,
Buying all things that were pretty and cheap;
I'd be a Sub-Treasurer - I'd be a Sub-Treasurer,
Buying for specie - sure I could buy cheap.
(two more stanzas) (4)
1364 - H&G May 19: 2/5 - YORICK, AND OTHER POEMS, pub 1 ished by Sanford
& Lott, Cleveland, is the title of a neat octavo volume of 71 pages,
laid on our table this morning. The paternity of the work excites much
curiosity, which the author takes good care not to satisfy. The public
can only know that it is the production of a denizen of our city.
From a cursory perusal, we entertain a favorable opinion of the poetic
talents of the author, as we discover thoughts that breathe happily expressed
in smooth versification.
From the fugitive pieces, we copy the following beautiful and feeling
ap()strophe to the memory of
"The Sainted Three"
There side by side, the sainted three,
A daughter, son and wife,
Repose in death, forever free
From all the woes of life!
The star of love, that beams on high,
Hath lit their spirits to the sky!
(two more stanzas) (5)
1365·- H&G June 20:2/2 - Picture Of A Village Girl In Her Garden.
by William D. Gallagher
Fairest, where all is beautiful and bright!
With what a grace she glides among the flow'rs.
That smile around her bowing at her touch,
And sprinkling on her small and careful feet,
The shining drops of the last show'r.
(six more stanzas) (6)
