# Southern Life in Southern Literature/Richard Henry Wilde

PART I. THE OLD SOUTH IN LITERATURE - POETS
RICHARD HENRY WILDE
[Richard Henry Wilde was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1789, and died in New Orleans in 1847. When he was a boy his family came to America and settled in Baltimore. Upon the death of his father he removed to Georgia, where he studied law and entered politics, eventually becoming for several terms a member of Congress. During a stay in Europe from 1835 to 1840 he did considerable study in Dante and Tasso, and helped to discover Giotto's portrait of the first-named poet. On his return he settled in New Orleans, where he became professor of law in the University of Louisiana. Meanwhile he had made a reputation for himself as a poet by poems contributed to newspapers and magazines, which he did not collect during his life into book form.]
MY LIFE IS LIKE THE SUMMER ROSE
My life is like the summer rose, That opens to the morning sky, But, ere the shades of evening close, Is scattered on the ground—to die! Yet on the rose’s humble bed The sweetest dews of night are shed, As if she wept the waste to see— But none shall weep a tear for me!
My life is like the autumn leaf That trembles in the moon s pale ray: Its hold is frail—its date is brief, Restless—and soon to pass away! Yet, ere that leaf shall fall and fade, The parent tree will mourn its shade, The winds bewail the leafless tree— But none shall breathe a sigh for me!
My life is like the prints, which feet Have left on Tampa’s desert strand; Soon as the rising tide shall beat, All trace will vanish from the sand; Yet, as if grieving to efface All vestige of the human race, On that lone shore loud moans the sea— But none, alas! shall mourn for me!
TO THE MOCKING-BIRD
Winged mimic of the woods! thou motley fool! Who shall thy gay buffoonery describe? Thine ever-ready notes of ridicule Pursue thy fellows still with jest and gibe. Wit, sophist, songster, Yorick of thy tribe, Thou sportive satirist of Nature’s school, To thee the palm of scoffing we ascribe, Arch-mocker and mad Abbot of Misrule! For such thou art by day—but all night long Thou pourest a soft, sweet, pensive, solemn strain, As if thou didst in this thy moonlight song Like to the melancholy Jacques complain, Musing on falsehood, folly, vice, and wrong, And sighing for thy motley coat again.

PART I. THE OLD SOUTH IN LITERATURE - POETS
THE DAUGHTER OF MENDOZA
O lend to me, sweet nightingale, Your music by the fountains, And lend to me your cadences, O river of the mountains! That I may sing my gay brunette, A diamond spark in coral set, Gem for a prince's coronet— The daughter of Mendoza.
How brilliant is the morning star! The evening star, how tender! The light of both is in her eye, Their softness and their splendor. But for the lash that shades their light They were too dazzling for the sight; And when she shuts them, all is night— The daughter of Mendoza.
O! ever bright and beauteous one, Bewildering and beguiling, The lute is in thy silvery tones, The rainbow in thy smiling. And thine is, too, o'er hill and dell, The bounding of the young gazelle, The arrow's flight and ocean's swell— Sweet daughter of Mendoza!
What though, perchance, we meet no more— What though too soon we sever? Thy form will float like emerald light, Before my vision ever.
For who can see and then forget The glories of my gay brunette? Thou art too bright a star to set— Sweet daughter of Mendoza!
# Southern Life in Southern Literature/Harry McCarthy

PART II. POETRY OF THE CIVIL WAR
HARRY McCARTHY
[Harry McCarthy was an Irish actor who enlisted in the Confederate army from Arkansas. After a time he was granted a discharge and continued his career as an actor in Richmond and other places. Little is known of his subsequent career. He wrote other war poems, but none attained the popularity of "The Bonnie Blue Flag."]
THE BONNIE BLUE FLAG
We are a band of brothers, and native to the soil, Fighting for our liberty, with treasure, blood, and toil; And when our rights were threatened, the cry rose near and far: Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star!
Chorus
Hurrah! Hurrah! for Southern rights, Hurrah! Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star!
As long as the Union was faithful to her trust, Like friends and like brethren kind were we and just; But now when Northern treachery attempts our rights to mar, We hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star.—Chorus
First gallant South Carolina nobly made the stand; Then came Alabama, who took her by the hand; Next, quickly Mississippi, Georgia, and Florida, All raised on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star.—Chorus
Ye men of valor, gather round the banner of the right, Texas and fair Louisiana, join us in the fight: Davis, our loved President, and Stephens, statesman rare, Now rally round the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star.—Chorus
And here's to brave Virginia! The Old Dominion State With the young Confederacy at length has linked her fate; Impelled by her example, now other States prepare To hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star.—Chorus ​Then cheer, boys, cheer, raise the joyous shout, For Arkansas and North Carolina now have both gone out; And let another rousing cheer for Tennessee be given— The Single Star of the Bonnie Blue Flag has grown to be eleven.—Chorus
Then, here’s to our Confederacy ; strong we are and brave, Like patriots of old we’ll fight our heritage to save; And rather than submit to shame, to die we would prefer— So cheer again for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star!
Chorus
Hurrah! Hurrah! for Southern rights, Hurrah! Hurrah! for the Bonnie Blue Flag has gained the Eleventh Star.

POETS
ST. GEORGE TUCKER
[St. George Tucker was born in Bermuda in 1752. He came early to Virginia and was educated at William and Mary College, after which he was called to the bar. Tucker served in the Virginia legislature, but won his chief distinction as professor of law in William and Mary College. In addition to composing fugitive poems, of which the one here given is the best known, he wrote several political and legal works of note. He died in 1828.]
RESIGNATION
Days of my youth, Ye have glided away; Hairs of my youth, Ye are frosted and gray; Eyes of my youth, Your keen sight is no more; Cheeks of my youth, Ye are furrowed all o'er; Strength of my youth, All your vigor is gone; Thoughts of my youth, Your gay visions are flown.
Days of my youth, I wish not your recall; Hairs of my youth, I'm content ye should fall;
Eyes of my youth, You much evil have seen; Cheeks of my youth, Bathed in tears have you been; Thoughts of my youth, You have led me astray; Strength of my youth, Why lament your decay?
Days of my age, Ye will shortly be past; Pains of my age, Yet awhile ye can last; Joys of my age, In true wisdom delight; Eyes of my age, Be religion your light; Thoughts of my age, Dread ye not the cold sod; Hopes of my age, Be ye fixed on your God.

Simmerman v. Nebraska
Argued: December 7, 1885. ---
It nowhere appears from this record, either in the application for a change of venue, or in the objections to the admissibility of evidence, to the charge of the court as given, or to the refusals to charge as requested, or in the motion for a new trial, the assignement of errors in the supreme court of the state, or the opinion filed in that court, that any federal question was actually presented for consideration, or in any way relied on, before the final judgment from which the writ of error has been taken. Such being the case we cannot take jurisdiction. Detroit Railway Co. v. Guthard, 114 U.S. 134; S.C.. 5 Sup. Ct. Rep. 811; Brown v. Colorado, 106 U.S. 95; S.C.. 1 Sup. Ct. Rep. 175. The fact that. after the final judgment, and in the petition for a writ of error to this court, which seems to have been treated also as a petition for rehearing, a federal question was presented, is not enough. It was so decided in Susquehanna Boom Co. v. West Branch Boom Co., 110 U.S. 57; S.C.. 3 Sup. Ct. Rep. 438. As we said in that case: 'we act on the case as made to the court below when the judgment was rendered, and cannot incorporate into the record any new matter which appears for the first time after the judgment on a petition for rehearing. Such a petition is no part of the record on which the judgment rests.'
The motion to dismiss for want of jurisdiction is granted.

United States Supreme Court
109 U.S. 285
State of Louisiana Folsom v. Mayor of the City of New Orleans
BRADLEY, J.
I concur in the judgment in this case on the special ground that remedies against municipal bodies, for damages caused by mobs, or other violators of law, unconnected with the municipal government, are purely matters of legislative policy, depending on positive law, which may at any time be repealed or modified, either before or after the damage has occurred, and the repeal of which causes the remedy to cease. In giving or withholding remedies of this kind, it is simply a question whether the public shall or shall not indemnify those who sustain losses from the unlawful acts or combinations of individuals; and whether it shall or shall not do so is a matter of legislative discretion; just as it is whether the public shall or shall not indemnify those who suffer losses at the hands of a public enemy, or from intestine commotions or rebellion; and, as the judgments in the present case were founded upon a law giving this kind of remedy, I agree with the court that any restraint of taxation which may affect the means of enforcing them is within the constitutional power of the legislature. Until the claim is reduced to possession, it is subject to legislative regulation. But an ordinary judgment of damages for a tort, rendered against the person committing it, in favor of the person injured, stands upon a very different footing. Such a judgment is founded upon an absolute right, and is as much an article of property as anything else that a party owns; and the legislature can no more violate it without due process of law than it can any other property. To abrogate the remedy for enforcing it, and to give no other adequate remedy in its stead, is to deprive the owner of his property within the meaning of the fourteenth amendment. The remedy for enforcing a judgment is the life of the judgment, just as much as the remedy for enforcing a contract is the life of the contract. While the original constitution protected only contracts from being impaired by state laws, the fourteenth amendment protects every species of property alike, except such as in its nature and origin is subject to legislative control. Hence, I regard it important clearly to distinguish between this kind of judgment now under consideration and other judgments, for claims based upon the absolute right of the party.

United States Supreme Court
108 U.S. 568
State of Louisiana ex rel. New Orleans Gas-Light Company v. City of New Orleans
We have no jurisdiction in this case. No title, right, privilege, or immunity set up or claimed by the relator under the constitution of the United States has been denied him by the judgment of the court below. The prayer of the petition for mandamus was, among other things, that, in order to secure a sufficient fund to provide for the payment of certain judgments in favor of the relator against the city of New Orleans, the council of the city might be required, if necessary, to 'exhaust their powers of taxation, and continue so to do until relator's judgment is paid and satisfied.' No request was made in the petition for a determination of the extent of the power of taxation for the purpose specified. A judgment was entered in the court of original jurisdiction granting the writ in the exact form prayed for. This judgment was affirmed by the supreme court of the state on appeal. After the judgment of affirmance was entered, a rehearing was asked, in order that the judgment of the court of original jurisdiction might be made more clear and specific. This was refused. No right to any specific rate of taxation has been denied. That question has been left unsettled, and there was nothing in the pleadings which required the court to do more than it has done. As the judgment is for a writ requiring the council to do all it has in law the power to do to raise the money to pay the relator's demand, no right has been denied. While the court might have defined in more exact terms the precise power to be exercised, its omission to do so is not ground for appeal to our jurisdiction.
It follows that the writ of error in this case must be dismissed for want of jurisdiction, and an order to that effect is made.
