# A Highland Regiment/Vale Atque Ave

IS it good-bye for ever
For us beneath the sun ?
The lads and girls go over,
With every girl a lover,
And never a lonely one,
But I shall see you never
Till all my days are done.
I could not read your letter,
I could not think it true,
Seeing the lands and hedges
And the long naked ridges
And skies serene and blue.
Though worse should come or better
I walk no more with you.
And I saw the winter weather
And the joyous days of spring.
In all the years before us
God knows what fate hangs o'er us,
What good or evil thing,
But we'll walk no more together
Whatever time may bring.
Love is not dead but sleeping,
Youth is not spent in vain.
Another hand will hold me,
And other arms enfold me.
To feel in every vein
The blood of youth go leaping ;
But you come not again.
You've gone, and with you flying
The grace of life is past.
And I go robbed and wanting
Till with a little panting
My labouring life ebbs fast,
And I look up in dying
And see you at the last.
# A Highland Regiment/To Catullus

A Rondel
LAUGHTER and tears to you the gods once gave,
Those silver tears upon your brother's grave,
And golden laughter in your lady's bower.
And silver-gold in your love's bitter hour.
You showed us, burdened with our hopes and fears,
 Laughter and tears.
Poor tears that fell upon the thirsty sands,
Poor laughter stifled with ungentle hands,
Poor heart that was so sweet to laugh and cry.
Your joyful, mournful songs shall never die,
But show us still across the shadowing years
 Laughter and tears.
St Paul's, 1912
# A Highland Regiment/To My Sister

​TO MY SISTER
If I die to-morrow
I shall go happily.
With the flush of battle on my face
I shall walk with an eager pace
The road I cannot see.
My life burnt fiercely always,
And fiercely will go out
With glad wild fighting ringed around, But you will be above the ground
And darkness all about.
You will not hear the shouting.
You will not see the pride,
Only with tortured memory
Remember what I used to be,
And dream of how I died.
# A Highland Regiment/To the Unknown Love

I CANNOT see you in the light
 Or find you in the day.
For when the sun springs up at dawn
 I think you slip away.
I wait until the night is come
 To pass beyond the veil,
And then I find you in the land
 Of the unuttered tale.
Then gazing out across the night
 I see with glad surmise
The shadows of your loosened hair,
 The depth of your grave eyes.
St Paul's, 1912
# A Highland Regiment/Wanderer's Desire

To E. J. S. AND F. O. T.
I CANNOT sleep for thinking
 Of things that I have seen
About the highways of the world,
 Where fields are fresh and green,
And hedges lie on either hand
 With a white road between.
I cannot rest for dreaming
 Of places I have known,
The grasses of the lonely hills.
 The meadows and the sown.
And all the secrets which appear
 To men who walk alone.
The comrades of my walking
 Are calling me to go,
And stroll with them across the hills
 Along a road we know.
Past inns where we can drink and talk
 When storm-winds bring the snow.
I cannot rise and follow
 The way they're calling me,
So I sit dreaming all the day,
 And all the day I see
The open highways of the world
 Where I would like to be.
Oxford, 1913
# A Highland Regiment/To —

You have destroyed my early loves.
 The grasses wet with dew.
And hills upon whose gentle breast
 My careless boyhood grew.
I have no happiness at all
 Except to be with you.
I have forgotten all the words
 And laughter of my friends,
The little inns that are like homes.
 The road that dips and bends ;
I hear them like a far-off song
 That fails at last and ends.
It's little use for us to grieve
 For things that cannot be ;
You can't give back the happiness
 You took away from me.
Give me yourself, for night and day
 It's only you I see.
Oxford, 1913
# A Highland Regiment/Verses to Two Children

With a Copy of Lear's " Nonsense Rhymes "
DARLINGS, if I may call you so,
 I fear that I can only sing
Of sorrows that your elders know.
 To you I send a better thing.
Oh may you wander many a day
 Across the great Gromboolian plain.
Because, when I was far away.
 You came and brought me back again.
Because, when darkness covered me,
 You came and took me by the hand.
And opened my blind eyes to see
 The little hills of Fairyland.
Brora, 1912

From volume 1 of the work.
​CONTRARY MOTION is the progression of parts in opposite directions, one or more ascending while the other or others descend, as—
In contrapuntal music it was considered preferable to similar or oblique motion, and it always has a stronger and more vigorous character than either of these. Many conspicuous examples of its use in modern music may be found, as for instance in the slow movement of Beethoven's Symphony in C minor—
Passing notes are allowed to progress continuously by contrary motion until they arrive at notes which form a part of some definite harmony ( * ), as—

Its only claim to mention here is the fact that Schubert was educated for the Hof-kapelle at the Convict at 45 in the Piaristen Gasse, Josephstadt, Vienna.

From volume 1 of the work.
​CONTREDANSE (Engl. country-dance, Ger. contretanz). A dance of English origin, which was introduced into France in the Regency, 1715–23, and has since become very popular. The music to the contredanse is of a lively character; it is written either in 2-4 or in 6-8 time, and consists uniformly of eight-bar phrases, each of which is usually repeated. The name probably arose from the fact that the dancers were ranged over against (contre) one another. The English term 'country-dance' is probably a mere adaptation.

David Henry Watson entered the Navy, 11 March, 1807, as Midshipman, on board the Agamemnon 64, Capt. Jonas Rose, under whom, after accompanying the expedition against Copenhagen, he sailed for the Rio de la Plata and was there wrecked 20 June, 180D. He was employed next, from Dec. 1810 until May, 1813, in the Courageux 74, Capt. Philip Wilkinson, in the Baltic; from May, 1813, until Aug. 1815 in the Albion and Sceptre 74’s, Capts. John Ferris Devonshire and Wm. Waller, on the coasts of North America and France; from Aug. 1815 until May, 1816, in the Araxes 38, Capt. Geo. Miller Bligh, in the West Indies; from July, 1816, until June, 1817, in the Montreal, bearing the broad pendant of Commodore Sir Robt. Hall on Lake Ontario; and from Jan. 1818 until July, 1819, as Midshipman, Master’s Mate, and Lieutenant (commission dated 3 Dec. 1818) in the Leander 60, flag-ship of Sir David Milne at Halifax. He afterwards had charge, for nearly three years, of a Preventive station on the coast of Hampshire, embracing at least 15 miles of country; and, as a proof of the arduous nature of the duties he had to perform, it may be mentioned that during the winter-months he had been known to be out for 14 nights together, each time for 16 hours, without being able to lie down, except on the wet ground.
From 7 May, 1823, until 9 May, 1834, Lieut. Watson filled the appointment of Landing-Waiter and Searcher at the port of Halifax, Nova Scotia. He has, since then, been employed in the Custom House in London; where he is at present Surveyor of the outward department. While at Halifax he received the thanks of the Governor, Lieut.-General Sir Peregrine Maitland, and of the Council and House of Assembly of Nova Scotia for his exertions in establishing a quarantine, at a time of great ​excitement and danger. All his testimonials concur in proving him to be an officer possessed of the greatest temper, and in the highest degree “principled, sensible, active, energetic, zealous, and judicious.” When on his passage from Halifax to London in the brig Brothers he was the means of saving the crew, in number 14, of a vessel, the Three Sisters, which was encountered in a sinking state, with everything swept from her decks, including both her boats. Although the wind was blowing hard and the sea running mountains high, his intrepidity and humanity induced him, regardless of danger, to endeavour, in a boat, to board the Three Sisters. As we have said, he providentially succeeded, and after repeated trips rescued the whole of the unfortunate persons, many of whom were in so disabled a state that they were unable during the remainder of the voyage to come on deck.

On 11 Sept, following, being off the port of Amsterdam, in the island of Curaçoa, Capt. Watkins received a deputation from the Dutch inhabitants, who, alarmed at the barbarities committed by a large republican force recently arrived from Guadeloupe, now claimed the protection of England. Pushing at once into the harbour, Capt, Watkins landed his men and some cannon, took possession of the forts and thereby induced the French to evacuate the island. On the 13th a capitulation was signed, surrendering Curaçoa and its dependencies, with the vessels in the harbour, in all 44 sail, and such property as was on board of them on the 10th, to the ​Néréide.

# A Library Primer (1899)/Chapter XXXVIII

W.I. Fletcher in Public Libraries, July, 1898
There is nothing out of place in the comparing of the library to the school and the college, but its true mission is not to be so limited. To a large extent it is to be compared, as an object of public care and expense, with the park, the modern common, where there are flower-beds, rare plants in conservatories, lakes with boats in summer and skating in winter, and music by excellent bands. Not very strictly useful, these things, but recognized everywhere as ministering to the real culture of the people. Let this library, then, be the place where you will come, not merely to study and store your minds with so-called "useful" knowledge, but also often to have a good time; to refresh your minds and hearts with humor and poetry and fiction. Let the boys find here wholesome books of adventure, and tales such as a boy likes; let the girls find the stories which delight them and give their fancy and imagination exercise; let the tired housewife find the novels which will transport her to an ideal realm of love and happiness; let the hard-worked man, instead of being expected always to read "improving" books of history or politics, choose that which shall give him relaxation of mind and nerve, perhaps the Innocents abroad, or Josh Billings' "Allminax," or Samanthy at Saratoga.
# A Library Primer (1899)/Preface

A library primer was published in the first six numbers of Public Libraries in 1896. It was quite largely made up of extracts from an article by Dr W.F. Poole on The organization and management of public libraries, which formed part of the report on Public libraries in the U.S., published by the U.S. Bureau of education in 1876; from W.I. Fletcher's Public libraries in America; from Mary W. Plummer's Hints to small libraries; and from papers in the Library journal and A.L.A. proceedings.
At the request of a number of people interested I have revised, rewritten, and extended the original draft for publication in book form. Additional material has been taken from many sources. I have tried to give credit in good measure. The prevailing tendency among librarians is to share ideas, to give to one another the benefit of all their suggestions and experiences. The result is a large fund of library knowledge which is common property. From this fund most of this book is taken.
The Library Primer is what its name implies. It does not try to be exhaustive in any part of the field. It tries to open up the subject of library management for the small library, and to show how large it is and how much librarians have yet to learn and to do.
