Philip Freneau Nature Poems
- 1. Eutaw Springs
At Eutaw Springs the valiant died;
Their limbs with dust are covered o'er;
Weep on, ye springs, your tearful tide;
How many heroes are no more!
... - 2. To Mr. Blanchard, The Celebrated Aeronaut In America
Nil mortalibus ardui est
Caelum ipsum petimus stultitia
Horace
... - 3. To The Memory Of The Brave Americans
Under General Greene, in South Carolina,
who fell in the action of September 8, 1781
... - 4. To Mr. Blanchard, The Celebrated Aeronaut In America
Nil mortalibus ardui est
Caelum ipsum petimus stultitia
Horace
... - 5. The Wild Honey-suckle
Fair flower, that dost so comely grow,
Hid in this silent, dull retreat,
Untouched thy honied blossoms blow,
Unseen thy little branches greet;
... - 6. The Vernal Age
Where the pheasant roosts at night,
Lonely, drowsy, out of sight,
Where the evening breezes sigh
Solitary, there stray I.
... - 7. The Indian Burying Ground
In spite of all the learn'd have said;
I still my old opinion keep,
The posture, that we give the dead,
Points out the soul's eternal sleep.
... - 8. On The Universality And Other Attributes Of The God Of Nature
All that we see, about, abroad,
What is it all, but nature's God?
In meaner works discovered here
No less than in the starry sphere.
