To my former students and all others who have not answered my letters
Everybody writes letters, but not everybody does it well. The ability to write a good letter couched in effective language and put into correct form upon appropriate stationery constitutes a tremendous business, political, and social asset. This little book does not guarantee to make you perfect in these details, but it does undertake to interest you and to offer you distinct help.

# Verses (Shorter)/Seeking

From Verses (1893).
SEEKING.
There I cannot find thee, O my love! In the city’s clamour, In its pleasure’s glamour; ’Mid the multitude of faces Or the wilderness of places, There I cannot find thee, O my love!
There I cannot find thee, O my love! Where corn groweth yellow, Where luscious fruits come mellow. Where ’neath the roses swinging Hide birds that wake to singing. There I cannot find thee, O my love!
There I cannot find thee, O my love! Where sweeps the snowy pinion O’er the seamew’s wide dominion; Where the gull unceasingly Screams a chorus to the sea, There I cannot find thee, O my love!
There I cannot find thee, O my love! Blind in the dark my seeking, I stand with lone heart breaking, With hushed and listening breath I gaze through the gates of death— There I cannot seek thee, O my love!
# Verses (Shorter)/Spring Song—To Ireland

From Verses (1893).
SPRING SONG—TO IRELAND.
Weep no more, heart of my heart, no more! The night has passed and the dawn is here, The cuckoo calls from the budding trees, And tells us that Spring is near.
Sorrow no more, beloved, no more; For see, sweet emblem of hope untold! The tears that soft on the shamrocks fall There turn to blossoms of gold.
Winter has gone with his blighting breath, No more to chill thee with cold or fear. The brook laughs loud in its liberty, Green buds on the hedge appear.
Weep no more, life of my heart, no more! The birds are carolling sweet and clear; The warmth of Summer is in the breeze. And the Spring—the Spring is here.
# Verses (Shorter)/Pre-Existence

From Verses (1893).
PRE-EXISTENCE.
We have met, you and I, long ago, Yesterday when I saw you I knew, For the sight of the city was gone. And the sky took an eastern blue; Strange flowers and strange perfumes were there, Strange birds without song flitted by, O I loved you as woman ne'er loved When we met long ago, you and I.
We have loved long ago, you and I, Though to-day we but linger to part. O say, do you wish to forget ? Does no answer awake in your heart? Perhaps in the future 'tis writ That we meet once again. Ah, good-bye! You forget, but I sigh for that past Where we met and we loved, you and I.
# Verses (Shorter)/Sorrow

From Verses (1893).
SORROW.
Into my heart, Sorrow, you found a way; Mine enemy, it was bitter to weep and pray; I gave you tears for drinking, And heart-sick sobs, With brain too sick for thinking, And to the throbs Of my sad heart I hushed you till I crushed you Into rest for all your thorns.
Into my heart. Sorrow, too oft you came; Mine enemy, I heed not nor dread your name. Frozen the stream of your quaffing. And now your rest Is broken with my laughing. To my breast In these mine arms I hush you till I crush you Into rest for all your thorns.
# Verses (Shorter)/The Fairies

From Verses (1893).
THE FAIRIES.
The fairies, the fairies, the mischief-loving fairies. Have stolen my loved one, my darling, and my dear; With charms and enchantments they lured and waylaid him. So my love cannot comfort and my presence cannot cheer.
The fairies, the fairies, I'll love no more the fairies; I'll never sweep the hearth for them or care the fairy thorn, I'll skim no more the yellow cream nor leave the perfumed honey; But I'll drive the goats for pasture to their greenest rath each morn.
With Ave, and Ave, and many a Paternoster, Within their magic circle I'll tell my beads for you; My prayers be sharp as arrows to pierce their soulless bosoms Till they come with loud sorrow to tell me that they rue.
My darling, my darling, what glamour is upon you That you find for your gaze satisfaction and content In the charms of that colleen, with her black snaky ringlets, Her red lips contemptuous, and her gloomy brows so bent?
The fairies, the fairies, from her blue eyes were peeping; They blew her hair about you, so you were lost, my dear. With their charms and enchantments they lured and waylaid you, So my love cannot comfort and my presence cannot cheer.
# Verses (Shorter)/The End of the World

From Verses (1893).
THE END OF THE WORLD.
Even the silent lips and comforting calm face I had no more; I took my place Still wondering, behind the slow sad coach that bore All of your beauty Death could rob from me, One amongst many men who followed thee.
‘Now comes an end of things,’ I said, and faced the light And saw the sun; there was not any night Although the sands of your sweet life had run. Even the little children, in their glee. Raced by the four slow steeds that carried thee.
The curious passer’s gaze I watched with jealous eyes Your coffin find, through its disguise Of living flowers, hid from their careless pity safe behind Those wooden walls; oh, safe, my dear, no one shall see. Or none remember save those who follow thee.
Even the little birds and blossoming spring flowers, They did not care, and still the hours Went on to weave slow days to years for me to bear. No song was hushed, no laughter stilled for me, No woman wept when my world died with thee.
# Verses (Shorter)/Out with the World

From Verses (1893).
OUT WITH THE WORLD.
I'm out with all the world to-day, So all the world to me is gray, Ah me! the bonny world. Glad birds are building in the tree. For them I have no sympathy; From out the grove a thrush pipes clear, I have no wish his song to hear; From tangled boughs that young buds share With last year's leaves, a startled hare A moment peeps and then away; I have no laughter for his play, For all the sunny sky is gray. The weariest I am to-day In all the weary world.
Perchance to-morrow's hidden store May bring my heart's content once more, The sweet young spring comes very fair With summer's breath and golden air;
And I may think there cannot be A maid so blessed on land or sea. Tm out, though, with the world to-day, So all the world to me is gray, Ah me! the bonny world.
# Verses (Shorter)/The Awakening

From Verses (1893).
THE AWAKENING.
I had no culture for my love, Hungrily my heart cried: ‘Knowledge, be my master, Turn, brain, O faster. Grind the seeds of wisdom fine, Till no mind be wise as mine, At my wit in smiting Men will smile delighting. 'Tis not too quick for craft, or Not too keen for laughter.’ Wise for love's sweet sake to be Surely is no vanity.
I had no fairness for my love. Hungrily my heart cried: ‘Beauty, be my handmaid! Leave me unafraid,
That another glass had shown Fair a face as hath my own.’ So the early morning Found me still adorning, Going from the glass with pride, Coming back unsatisfied. Vain for love's sweet sake to be Surely is no vanity.
Lo! my love was not my love. Stonily my heart cried: ‘Take a fool for master, Turn, brain, O faster, While the jingling bells repeat Much the chaff and little wheat. Behind a pair of soul-lit eyes You a soul would fain surprise. None wise as he you ne'er could know, Because a sweet tongue tells you so. All his deeds were done before; All his thoughts a borrowed store. Said I, “He is heaven-sent With his thinking brows so bent,” This false light that made my day Was the sun's reflected ray, Dancing broken on the wave Of ignorance, nor can I save
One tossing spark of foolish light To make a beacon for my night. Blind for love's sweet sake to be, Seeing is a misery.’
# Verses (Shorter)/The Bridal of Lady Aideen

From Verses (1893).
THE BRIDAL OF LADY AIDEEN.
O Lady Aideen, will you wed with me, wed with me in the early morning?
A silken gown for your body’s wear, a golden crown for your hair’s adorning.
(One flirting magpie on the quicken tree flies from his perching ’twixt you and me.)
The proudest colt that my land has fed
For you shall chafe first harnessed.
And for your bidding six maidens be.
(O bird of sorrow, ’tween hope and me!)
O Earl Desmond, I am loath to speak, loath to speak for your true heart’s sorrow,
I'll be a bride at no man’s altar, though I be a wedded bride to-morrow.
Death’s hand closes on the digging spade ; rest for ever ’neath the yew-tree's shade.)
Six slow steeds will my body bear,
To fret or prance they will not care,
And no handmaiden with me would dwell
(Hark! the tolling of the passing bell.)
O Lady Aideen, will you name for me, name for me who won my refusing?
Who hath the singing and all the sun on earth for ever and I the losing?
(Oh, the plough horses going off from me, sorrow and tears will my harvest be.) My arms were strong for your woman’s fear;
My heart were weak for your loving, dear.
What can he give whom you will not name?
(Clings a winding-sheet by the candle’s flame.)
O Earl Desmond, be you brave for sorrow, brave for sorrow which is no man’s shielding;
Love has wept till his eyes grew blind, and victory’s not in a weapon’s yielding.
(Six black horses awaiting me, the ring of the spade has ceased to be.)
My lord is named with a bated breath. Whom hope calls ‘Life’ and despair names ‘Death.’
And, oh, his love no world can kill!
(The banshee waits on the window-sill.)
# United States v. Rocha/Dissent Clifford

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
* Dissenting Opinion Clifford
United States Supreme Court
76 U.S. 639
United States v. Rocha
Mr. Justice CLIFFORD, with whom concurred Mr. Justice DAVIS, dissenting.
I dissent from the opinion and decree of the court in this case, for the following reasons:
1. Because the ayuntamiento of Los Angeles never possessed any authority to make such a grant, and it follows of course that the document purporting to be signed by the alcalde is null and void. Argument upon that topic is unnecssary, as the claimants admit that the proposition is correct.
2. Because the additional documents exhibited by the claimants in the District Court show conclusively, not only that those under whom the appellees claim never had any grant from the governor under the colonization laws, but that the governor, when the application was made to him for that purpose, peremptorily refused to make the grant; and that they never had any grant or concession of any kind from the governor of the department.
3. Because possession before the treaty, of the public lands held by the former government, without any title, is not sufficient evidence to warrant a confirmation of such a claim. Authorities to support that proposition are not necessary, as they are very numerous in the decisions of this court published within last ten years.

# Whispering Hope

Soft as the voice of an angel, Breathing a lesson unheard, Hope with a gentle persuasion, Whispers her comforting word.
Wait till the darkness is over, Wait till the tempest is done. Hope for the sunshine tomorrow, After the shower is gone.
(Chorus) Whis..pering hope, O how wel...come thy voice, Mak.ing my heart..in its sor.row rejoice.
Hope has an anchor so steadfast, Rends the dark veil for the soul. Whither the Master has entered, Robbing the grave of its goal.
Come then, O come glad fruition, Come to my sad weary soul. Come Thou O blessed hope of glory, Never, O never depart.
(Chorus) Whis..pering hope, O how wel...come thy voice, Mak.ing my heart..in its sor.row rejoice.
If in the dusk of the twilight, Dim be the region afar. Will not the deep..en.ing darkness, Brighten the shim..mering star?
Then when the night is upon us, Why should the heart sink away? When the dark night is over, Watch for the breaking. of day.
(Chorus) Whis..pering hope, O how wel...come thy voice, Mak.ing my heart..in its sor.row rejoice

# Whisman v. Georgia/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
384 U.S. 895
Whisman v. Georgia
The motion to dismiss is granted and the appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Treating the papers whereon the appeal was taken as a petition for a writ of certiorari, certiorari is denied.
Mr. Justice DOUGLAS is of the opinion that certiorari should be granted and the judgment reversed. He would remand the case for a new trial, it being clear from the record that the principles announced in Miranda v. State of Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 86 S.Ct. 1602, 16 L.Ed.2d 694, were not applied. He sees no reason for discriminating against this petitioner, the case having come here on direct review and being of the same vintage as Miranda v. State of Arizona. See dissenting opinion in Johnson v. State of New Jersey, 384 U.S. 736, 86 S.Ct. 1782, 16 L.Ed.2d 894.
