# Cotton Is King

Cotton Is King.
All hail to the great king, Quick to him your tribute bring; Join now the mighty ring, Who loud his praises sing, Great King Cotton.
When the tempests o’er ye rear, In the dreadest darkest hour, When fell clouds around ye lower, Mark! oh mark his magic power. Great King Cotton.
Feeding hundreds is his pleasure, Aye, and thousands at his leisure; For his wealth is without measure, Far surpassing Northern treasure. Great King Cotton.
By the blockade he is bound, In our Southern regions found; Let him hear the gladsome sound, Of your warlike chorus round. Great King Cotton.
Let him once again be free To help the nations over the sea; For of your wealth he holds the key To give you joy or misery. Great King Cotton.
Now that this cruel war’s begun, Forward every sire and son; Strike until the Yankees run, ’Till youv’e again his freedom won, Great King Cotton.
Hear Abe Lincoln loudly rave, By murder he’ll the Union save; But he’ll find each Southern brave Serving nobly to the grave. Great King Cotton.
Hear the Northmen in their pride, Boldly his great strength deride; Forgetting that their hundreds died Leaving victory on his side. Great King Cotton.
The image is before your sight, How he gained Manassas’ fight; Shewing the true Southern might Battling nobly for the right. Great King Cotton.
When you’ve gained the victory, Yes, when your heads are hoary, You’ll love to tell of Northern foray Which served but to increase his glory. Great King Cotton.

# The poetical works of Matthew Arnold/The World's Triumphs

THE WORLD'S TRIUMPHS.
So far as I conceive the world's rebuke To him addressed who would recast her new, Not from herself her fame of strength she took, But from their weakness who would work her rue.
"Behold," she cries, "so many rages lulled, So many fiery spirits quite cooled down; Look how so many valors, long undulled, After short commerce with me, fear my frown!
​Thou too, when thou against my crimes wouldst cry, Let thy foreboded homage check thy tongue!"— The world speaks well; yet might her foe reply, "Are wills so weak? then let not mine wait long!
Hast thou so rare a poison? let me be Keener to slay thee, lest thou poison me!"
# The poetical works of Matthew Arnold/Thekla's Answer

THEKLA'S ANSWER.
From Schiller.
Where I am, thou ask'st, and where I wended When my fleeting shadow pass'd from thee?— Am I not concluded now, and ended? Have not life and love been granted me?
Ask, where now those nightingales are singing, Who, of late, on the soft nights of May, Set thine ears with soul-fraught music ringing— Only, while their love liv'd, lasted they.
Find I him, for whom I had to sever?— Doubt it not, we met, and we are one. There, where what is join'd, is join'd for ever, There, where tears are never more to run.
There thou too shalt live with us together, When thou too hast borne the love we bore: There, from sin deliver'd, dwells my Father, Track'd by Murder's bloody sword no more.
There he feels, it was no dream deceiving Lur'd him starwards to uplift his eye: God doth match his gifts to man's believing; Believe, and thou shalt find the Holy nigh.
All thou augurest here of lovely seeming There shall find fulfilment in its day: Dare, O Friend, be wandering, dare be dreaming; Lofty thought lies oft in childish play.
# The poetical works of Matthew Arnold/The World and the Quietist

THE WORLD AND THE QUIETIST.
TO CRITIAS.
"Why, when the world's great mind Hath finally inclined, Why," you say, Critias, "be debating still? Why, with these mournful rhymes Learned in more languid climes, Blame our activity Who, with such passionate will, Are what we mean to be?"
Critias, long since, I know (For Fate decreed it so), Long since the world hath set its heart to live; Long since, with credulous zeal It turns life's mighty wheel, Still doth for laborers send Who still their labor give, And still expects an end.
Yet, as the wheel flies round, With no ungrateful sound Do adverse voices fall on the world's ear. Deafened by his own stir, The rugged laborer ​Caught not till then a sense So glowing and so near Of his omnipotence.
So, when the feast grew loud In Susa's palace proud, A white-robed slave stole to the great king's side. He spake—the great king heard; Felt the slow-rolling word Swell his attentive soul; Breathed deeply as it died, And drained his mighty bowl.
# The poetical works of Matthew Arnold/The Voice

THE VOICE.
As the kindling glances, Queen-like and clear, Which the bright moon lances From her tranquil sphere At the sleepless waters Of a lonely mere, On the wild whirling waves, mournfully, mournfully, Shiver and die; ​As the tears of sorrow Mothers have shed— Prayers that to-morrow Shall in vain be sped When the flower they flow for Lies frozen and dead— Fall on the throbbing brow, fall on the burning breast, Bringing no rest;
Like bright waves that fall With a lifelike motion On the lifeless margin of the sparkling ocean; A wild rose climbing up a mouldering wall; A gush of sunbeams through a ruined hall; Strains of glad music at a funeral,— So sad, and with so wild a start To this deep-sobered heart, So anxiously and painfully, So drearily and doubtfully, And, oh! with such intolerable change Of thought, such contrast strange, O unforgotten voice, thy accents come, Like wanderers from the world's extremity, Unto their ancient home!
In vain, all, all in vain, They beat upon mine ear again,— Those melancholy tones so sweet and still; Those lute-like tones which in the bygone year Did steal into mine ear; Blew such a thrilling summons to my will, Yet could not shake it; Made my tost heart its very life-blood spill, Yet could not break it.
