THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
N BOOK OF CLEVER VERSE
Friends of Dr. Caleb A. Ridley, pas
tor of the Central Baptist Church, are
reading with great interest a book-
>t of his verse which has Just been
published.
Dr. Ridley, head of one of Atlan
ta s argest chUTch congregations, has
entitled his work "Just a Thinkin’ of
My Friends," and signs it "Caleb Al
fred Ridley.”
As a preface, he admonishes his
readers thus:
If you do not appreciate these
verses I lay the blame on you, for I
did the best I could.”
The work is for the most part
retrospective and carries the plain
tive note of true poesy. There is no
hint for the reader of the author's
vocation in the verses.
Perhaps the most interesting at
tempt included in the book is a 30-
llne verse entitled “Just Me and You.”
The little poem treats of love, rest
less achipg hearts, . wild delirium
dreams and other things precious to
lovers the world over. Here it is in
full:
Just Me and You,
Suppose we stroll this mountain path
and on
To where the sunbeams play along
dizzy heights
As the honeysuckle hues and waves it
ing flag
Of a dozen gaudy hues and waves it
day and night
Where life is free and the birds and
bees are free
And where the atmosphere is rich and
free
From germs and Death’s cold damp
and fitful gleam
The glorious woods where love waits
you and me.
Sweetest rest, where music sweet, my
‘ dear,
So soft and dreamy like that 'neath
its spell
The restless aching heart revives
And frf^its reckless wild delirium
dreams
That Time’s long Anger on Life's
dial plate
Is backward turned for a million
years and more,
To where the complex struggle and
pain of modern life
Are all forgot as the Lotus’ breath
sweeps o’er.
I want no greater joy than this, my
love:
If when the dewy dawn shall break
and beam
As my ravished Spirit grips and
holds for aye
The Ecstatic Bar and rhythmic ca
dence sweet
Struck from the native song of wild
est bird—
If then you are by me on the moun
tain trail
Hand in hand we’ll walk and love and
live
Till the witchery of old days and the
Joys of youth
Shall fill and thrill us again and
again.
Come with me, Love, on this narrow
lonesome path,
And I’ll sing my song of the moun
tain trail
Till your heart there gently wakes
the silent notes
Long hidden and hushed ’neath the
dreamy tides
That break against the bulwarks of
your breast.
There is a bit more about that
interesting topic, love, in some pretty
verses entitled “Somebody.” A few
of them follow:
It makes me weary to wait so long.
For this dirge of sorrow to turn to
song.
But one o’ these days each note of
sadness
Will die away into tones of gladness
For LOVE will hold the shadows at
bay
And I’ll be happy, SOMETIME,
SOME DAY.
’Tis a holy hour when LOVE has
birth—
A miracle of spring on the cold dull
earth,
Just to be loved because it’s you
Works magic-like as wonders do
The charm will drive the shadows
away
And I’ll feel the thrill, SOMETIME,
SOME DAY.
LOVE opens a door to the mysteries
of Life
And stands sublime amid the strife
When elements crash and discords
grate
Friends forget and enemies hate.
And passions fierce hold they sway.
Such LOVE is mine, SOMETIME,
SOME DAY.
LOVE alone sees in-ward-ness.
Its intuition your secrets guess.
It analyzes every tear
That crystals on the face of care
As weary feet feel their way
To a genial haven, SOMETIME
SOME DAY.
Of course all the verse isn’t abo il
love, but It’s all of equal merit and
appeal.
