Lyrics by John B Tabb
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.

Lyrics by John B Tabb
19
THE TOLLMEN.
Lo
, Silence, Sleep, and Death
Await us on the way,
To take of each the tribute breath
That God himself did pay.
Nor Solomon's as great,
Nor Cæsar's strong control,
As his who sits beside his gate
To take of each the toll.
Lyrics by John B Tabb
