The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1894-01-21

Twas blown so gently into bloom
l scarcely knew twas growing.
Until felt the stainless strength
OF passions perfect dover,
And in the garden of my heart
The bud became flower
William Hamilton Hayne
This is the keynote of Mr.. Haynes
poems, ringing with purity and poetic ease.
They are like a true poets song. His
first volume, sylvan LYRICS" has been
enthusiastically received, and it deserves
all the praise it has called out, for it is
full of gems, that lift ones soul above the
ordinary rut of life. They sing of sylvan
cities, and the easy, rhythmic description,
almost brings before the readers mind
This forest cool and fair,
With homes in trees for birds or bees,
And houses in the air.
Nature speaks in all of Mr. Haynes
poems. He is essentially lover of all
that is pure and beautiful, because he is a
lover of nature, and he takes US from the
breezy north, where
Meath frozen cloalSs the pines and oaks
Are STOPPING like Druids old
And the cedars stand-au Arctic band
Held IN the clutch Of cold
to the sunny southland, and writes of
emblemati10fiOwers, and almost puts them
in view, and on murky day
"Through the outer gloom the japonicas
With the lustre Of rubies bright
Like blossoms blown from tropic zone
a marvellous land Of light"
Mr.. Hayne has inherited from his
father, the late Paul Hayne, his true
poets soul, and his first volume. of ex-
quisite poems is prophetic of a brilliant
literary future.
