Tabb, John B. (1845-1909)
[section]
QUATRAINS.
WOMAN.
OPPORTUNITY.
LIFE.
DEATH.
RELEASE.
LIGHT.
IN DARKNESS.
SILENCE.
FANCY.
FAME.
TIME'S LEGACY.
A CRISIS.
THE CYNOSURE.
RESISTANCE.
THE BILLOWS.
THE VOYAGER.
ADRIFT.
DEEP UNTO DEEP.
VESTIGES.
THE MID-DAY MOON.
TO AN EVENING SHADE.
HEROES.
LANIER'S FLUTE.
POE-CHOPIN.
TO AN EXILE.
TO A DYING BABE.
MY SECRET.
IN ABSENCE.
A REMONSTRANCE.
NEW AND OLD.
THE FIG-TREE.
THE BEE AND THE BLOSSOMS.
BONE-CASTANETS.
SONNETS.

HAZARD.
One
step 'twixt loss and gain!
The summit to attain
So near the brink of Pain
Hath joy to go—
So steep the precipice,
So frail the footing is,
'T were death to panting Bliss
To look below.
