English poet (1816-1902)
We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives,
Who thinks most, feels noblest, acts the best

Festus
Lips like rosebuds peeping out of snow.

Beauties of Festus
In greatest minds' great thoughts earth's passed; betimes
Fatal, foreshape the future.
PHILIP JAMES BAILEY
Universal Hymn
From the strength of the storm and the grasp of the sea,
And the lightning's red wrath, Heaven's ransomed are we.
PHILIP JAMES BAILEY
"Autumn", The Angel World and Other Poems
Prayer is the spirit speaking truth to Truth.
PHILIP JAMES BAILEY
Festus
See the gold sunshine patching,
And streaming and streaking across
The gray-green oaks; and catching,
By its soft brown beard, the moss.
