EDMUND CLARENCE STEDMAN, by EDWARD NELSON TEALL First Line: Upyearning yet earth anchored as the hills Last Line: "dear hearts, endure!" Subject(s): Stedman, Edmund Clarence (1833-1908) | ||||||||
Upyearning yet earth anchored as the hills Etern was he, And musically vocal as the rills' Glad minstrelsy. He stood as straight and steadfast as the trees, Yet as the wind That stirreth them to wondrous symphonies Was unconfined. He was as buoyant hearted as the flowers, Fruitful as fields, Warm sun and wind have urged, and summer showers, To tenfold yields. Now he, bold mariner, is gone before To "Shadowland;" And we, who may not yet that way explore, Pause on the strand -- And, gazing o'er Eternity's wide wave, Hear, faint but sure, His calm, familiar voice beyond the grave: "Dear hearts, endure!" | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO THE AUTHOR OF 'THE VICTORIAN POETS' by PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE TO ONE WHO NEVER GOT TO ROME by ROBERT UNDERWOOD JOHNSON TO THE MEMORY OF EDMUND CLARENCE STEDMAN, DEAR FRIEND by LIZETTE WOODWORTH REESE CHRISTMAS SONNET TO E.
