# Lyrics of Life (1909)/Eurydice

Published as "Che Faro Senza Eurydice!" in the March 1910 issue of Lippincott's Monthly Magazine.
EURYDICE
I hear thy voice!— Ah, love, I hear thy voice! Faint as the sound of distant waters falling, I hear thy voice above me calling, calling,— And my imprisoned heart, Long held from thee apart, Responsive thrills, half-tempted to rejoice.
In Hades though I be, Where the unnumbered dead abide In uneventful, sunless eventide, I yet live on,—for thou rememberest me! And like to far-off waters falling, I hear thee, from the distance, calling,— Eurydice! Beloved Eurydice!
In thy bright world, I know, The firstlings of the Spring begin to blow; Moss-violet and saffron daffodil Their perfumes new distil, And through the veiled elysian hours,— Sweeter for wafted scent of citron-flowers,— Voices of nightingales soft come and go.
​The halcyon again Contented broods beside the quiet main; The ringdove tells her wound With throbbing breast, and undulating sound Which still, thy passion wronging, Awakes in thee the wilder, lonelier longing. And still my buried heart reflects thy pain!
Of yore I had a dream: I thought—the awful sentinel asleep— Thou, with that lyre divine, supreme, Which first drew Argo downward to the deep, Entering here, where chains are never riven, Had with thy golden strain, Apollo given, Taught Dis, the pitiless, himself, to weep:
I had a dream of yore: I thought love, mightier than death, Wide opened the inexorable door, And offered me pure draughts of sun-warmed breath. I saw thy form; trembling, I seemed to follow,— When, sudden, to these rayless caverns hollow Fate caught me back—thee to behold no more! ········· Yet still I wait for thee! And surely thou wilt come again to me! The hours delay; I make no moan,— ​Apart from thee,—yet not alone, Sweeter than far-off music sighing, I hear thy voice forever crying:— "Eurydice!—lost, lost Eurydice!"

FRITZ SCHEEL
A TRIBUTE
He gave his life to Music,—gave— For love, not hire,—himself denying; His body rests, o'erwearied, in the grave, But Music lives and gives him life undying.
In the deep silence, may he hear Such harmonies as he could wake, And O, may some faint accents reach his ear From the great City's heart that sorrows for his sake!

152 U.S. 317
Keokuk Company v. County Court of Scotland County
This case differs from the one just decided (14 Sup. Ct. 605) only in the fact that this is a bill in equity, filed by the corporation whose property is sought to be taxed, to restrain the defendants from levying or collecting any taxes for the years 1883 to 1887, inclusive, upon the ground that the circuit court for the eastern district of Missouri in the Secor Case, and also the supreme court of the state, (State v. Keokuk & W. R. Co., 12 S. W. 290,) had held the property of the company not to be subject to taxation.
As the questions involved in the two cases are precisely the same, the decree of the court below dismissing the bill was correct, and the same is therefore affirmed.
Mr. Justice HARLAN and Mr. Justice BREWER dissented.

Not for the summer's hour alone,
 When skies resplendent shine,
And youth and pleasure fill the throne,
 Our hearts and hands we join;
But for those stern and wintry days
 Of sorrow, pain, and fear,
When Heaven's wise discipline doth make
 Our earthly journey drear;—
Not for this span of life alone,
 Which like a blast doth fly,
And as the transient flowers of grass
 Just blossom, droop, and die;—
But for a being without end
 This vow of love we take;
Grant us, O God, one home at last,
 For thy great, mercy's sake.

# Letter to his Brother Irving

QUEBEC, July 9, 1810.
I have a thousand thanks to offer you for the very great attention you have shewn in executing my commissions: the different articles arrived in the very best order, with the exception of the cocked hat, which has not been received—a most distressing circumstance, as, from the enormity of my head, I find the utmost difficulty in getting a substitute in this country.
I proposed writing to you early to-morrow, but Sir James having this instant intimated his intention of sending me upwards immediately, I avail myself of an hour's leisure to do that hastily which I would gladly have done quietly, and, consequently, more fully. If I am to remain in this country, I care little where I am placed; but going up, as I do now, without knowing whether I am to stay or return, is particularly awkward, and interferes materially in all my future arrangements: perhaps I shall be able to get the point settled before I commence my journey.
Every thing here remains in a state of perfect quietness. It is but too evident that the Canadians generally are becoming daily more anxious to get rid of the English. This they cannot effect unless a French force come to their aid, and I do not think that Bonaparte would risk the loss of a fleet and army for the chance of getting possession of the country. What infatuation! No people had ever more cause to rejoice at their fate; but they are not singular, as all mankind seems prone to change, however disadvantageous or productive of confusion.
Savery forwarded your pamphlet to me. You have taken a very proper view of the political dissensions which at this moment disgrace England. Those to whom I have allowed a perusal, and who are infinitely better judges than I can pretend to be, speak of the purity of the language in terms of high approbation. You have happily suited the style to the matter. Several copies have, within a few days, been in circulation here. Savery speaks of a letter you received, in consequence, from Lord Melville. I hope you will not fail in sending me a copy, as I am all anxiety for your literary fame. As you differ in sentiment from the Edinburgh Review, I hope that you have made up your mind to an unmerciful lashing.
I do not see the smallest prospect of my getting away from here, as the disposition manifested by the Canadians will occasion a large military force to be kept in the country, and it will serve as a plea to retain all at their posts. I wish that I could boast of a little more patience than I feel I now possess.
The fortifications of Quebec are improving pretty rapidly, but workmen cannot be procured in sufficient number to proceed as fast as government would wish. Labourers now get 7s. 6d. a day, and artificers from 12s. to 15s. Upwards of three hundred vessels have already arrived—a prodigious number.

# Letter to his Brother William

QUEBEC, December 31, 1809.
You will long since have been convinced that the American government is determined to involve the two countries in a war; they have already given us legitimate cause, but, if wise, we will studiously avoid doing that for which they shew so great an anxiety. Their finances, you will perceive, are very low, and they dare not propose direct taxes. They must have recourse to loans at a time when they have only six frigates in commission, and about five thousand men embodied. To what a state of poverty and wretchedness would the accumulated expenses of war reduce them! But they look to the success of their privateers for a supply, and contemplate the sweeping away of all foreign debts as the means of reducing the calls upon their treasury. Whatever steps England may adopt, I think she cannot, in prudence, avoid sending a strong military force to these provinces, as they are now become of infinite importance to her. You can scarcely conceive the quantity of timber and spars of all kinds which are lying on the beach, ready for shipment to England in the spring: four hundred vessels would not be sufficient to take all away. Whence can England be supplied with these essential articles but from the Canadas? Bonaparte, it is known, has expressed a strong desire to be in possession of the colonies formerly belonging to France, and now that they are become so valuable to England, his anxiety to wrest them from us will naturally increase. A small French force, 4 or 5,000 men, with plenty of muskets, would most assuredly conquer this province. The Canadians would join them almost to a man—at least, the exceptions would be so few as to be of little avail. It may appear surprising that men, petted as they have been and indulged in every thing they could desire, should wish for a change. But so it is—and I am apt to think that were Englishmen placed in the same situation, they would shew even more impatience to escape from French rule. How essentially different are the feelings of the people from when I first knew them. The idea prevails generally among them, that Napoleon must succeed, and ultimately get possession of these provinces. The bold and violent are becoming every day more audacious; and the timid, with that impression, think it better and more prudent to withdraw altogether from the society of the English, rather than run the chance of being accused hereafter of partiality to them. The consequence is, that little or no intercourse exists between the two races. More troops will be required in this country, were it only to keep down this growing turbulent spirit. The governor will, it is foreseen, have a difficult card to play next month with the assembly, which is really getting too daring and arrogant. Every victory which Napoleon has gained for the last nine years, has made the disposition here to resist more manifest.

# Letter to his Sister-in-Law

QUEBEC, June 8, 1810.
It was my decided intention to ask for leave to go to England this fall, but I have now relinquished the thought. Several untoward circumstances combine to oppose my wishes. The spirit of insubordination lately manifested by the French Canadian population of this colony, naturally called for precautionary measures, and our worthy chief is induced, in consequence, to retain in this country those on whom he can best confide. I am highly flattered in being reckoned among the number, whatever inward disappointment I may feel. Some unpleasant events have likewise happened in the upper country, which have occasioned my receiving intimation to proceed thither, whether as a permanent station, or merely as a temporary visit, Sir James Craig has not determined. Should, however, a senior brigadier to myself come out in the course of the summer, I shall certainly be fixed in the upper province, and there is every probability of such an addition very soon. Since all my efforts to get more actively employed have failed; since fate decrees that the best portion of my life is to be wasted in inaction in the Canadas, I am rather pleased with the prospect of removing upwards.
There is a lady living at Barnet for whom I feel much interested. If you should by chance drive that way, and do not object to form a new acquaintance, I wish you to call upon her. She is the wife of Captain Manners, of the 49th, and the daughter of the celebrated Dr. Rush, of Philadelphia. She has a most amiable disposition and genteel manners. Her sister, Mrs. Ross Cuthbert, a charming little creature, makes her husband—my most intimate friend, and with whom I pass a great part of my leisure hours—a most happy man.
I received the other day a long and exceedingly well written letter from Henrietta Tupper—she is really a charming girl. What Maria (Potenger) do you begin to slacken in your attention to your poor devoted uncle?
