Send some poems to a friend - the love thought that counts! Poems for the People - Poems by the People William Cowper English poet. The simplicity of his work and his treatment of natural subjects was in marked contrast to the sophistication of the fashionable Pope; he was an important forerunner of the Romantics, and his unfinished poem 'Yardley Oak' was particularly admired by Wordsworth. Other notable poems include 'The Poplar Trees', 'The Journey of John Gilpin' and 'The Castaway', while The Task is his most ambitious work in verse. Olney Hymns (1779) contains his popular hymns 'God moves in a mysterious way' and 'Oh, for a closer walk with God'. His autobiographical Memoir was published in 1816, and his letters have been widely appreciated, providing an intimate picture of the man.

COWPER, WILLIAM (1731-1800). —Poet, was the s. of the Rev. John C., Rector of Great Berkhampstead, Herts, and Chaplain to George II. His grandfather was a judge, and he was the grand-nephew of the 1st Earl C., the eminent Lord Chancellor. A shy and timid child, the death of his mother when he was 6 years old, and the sufferings inflicted upon him by a bullying schoolfellow at his first school, wounded his tender and shrinking spirit irrecoverably. He was sent to Westminster School, where he had for schoolfellows Churchill, the poet ( q.v. ), and Warren Hastings. The powerful legal influence of his family naturally suggested his being destined for the law, and at 18 he entered the chambers of a solicitor, where he had for a companion Thurlow, the future Chancellor, a truly incongruous conjunction; the pair, however, seem to have got on well together, and employed their time chiefly in "giggling and making giggle." He then entered the Middle Temple, and in 1754 was called to the Bar. This was perhaps the happiest period of his life, being enlivened by the society of two cousins, Theodora and Harriet C. With the former he fell in love; but his proposal of marriage was opposed by her f.

Fire and Ice: Puritan and Reformed Writings Table of Contents Fast Index Site Map The Poems of William Cowper Cowper's name will always be associated with that of John Newton, his friend and pastor. Together they wrote many hymns familiar to us today. Cowper suffered from bouts of acute depression. Newton saved him from suicide several times. In fact, because his nervous system was so delicate, he was unable to hold a job. Therefore he spent his time in literary persuits, including writing poetry. His poetry was quite influential. Many people who scorned evangelicals as "Methodists" would read Cowper's poems. He addressed many social issues, such as African slavery, as well as spreading the Gospel. One of Cowper's critics says that Newton was a bad influence, causing him to "indulge and inflame his sensiblity in the dark ecstasies of Calvinism, while at the same time affronting all that was reasonable and humane in his nature." (H I Faussett) Judge for yourself. I am told that he pronounced his name "Cooper." Olney Hymns Walking With God Jehovah-Jesus On Opening a Place for Social Prayer Exhortation to Prayer ...

P.C. Home Page Recent Additions Olney Hymns by William Cowper These hymns were written between 1765 and 1773 at the village of Olney (OHN'ee) where Cowper was under the influence of the Anglican Evangelical preacher John Newton. This was a period of great religious fervor within the Evangelical movement and for Cowper, and this enthusiasm is clear in the poems. Less clear, but still visible, are the lingering affects of the madness which debilitated Cowper in 1762 and to which he again succumbed in 1773. When William Cowper wrote When darkness long has veil'd my mind, And smiling day once more appears, he spoke from experience. The hymns show Cowper's command of direct, simple language. They also show the clarity of his mind. Each hymn is a little sermon, and most of them are preached more plainly and clearly than any you will hear from the pulpit. Bob Blair Contents I.

33. The Olney Hymns Biographical and literary notes from the Victorian Web. http://www.victorianweb.org/religion/hymns/olney.html

The Olney Hymns by John Newton Rodney Canete MA '97 (English 271, Brown University, 1997) John Newton, born in 1725, was the primary author of the Olney Hymns . At the early age of 11 his father was inculcating into John the ways of a seafarer's life. Seven years later, John Newton was pressed into the service of the Royal Navy. Soon after, he deserted the Royal Navy and was traded onto a slave ship where he lived as close to a slave's life as was possible for a white male of his era. Despite coming to the understanding of a slave's dire situation, he still became the captain of his own slave ship. Ultimately, he came to fully realize the inhumanity of his actions and left his life as a slave ship captain to become ordained as a priest for the Church of England in 1764. That same year he published An Authentic Narrative which detailed his exploits commanding a slave vessel. In the preface to his most famous work, The Olney Hymns , Newton gave an indication as to his motivation for its inception: A desire of promoting the faith and comfort of sincere Christians, though the principal, was not the only motive to this undertaking. It was likewise intended as a monument, to perpetuate the remembrance of an intimate and endeared friendship. (a)

O men, this man in brotherhood your weary paths beguiling, Groaned inly while he taught you peace, and died while ye were smiling! And now, what time ye all may read through dimming tears his story, And how when, one by one, sweet sounds and wandering lights departed, He wore no less a loving face because so broken-hearted. With quiet sadness and no gloom, I learn to think upon him, Who suffered once the madness-cloud to His own love to blind him, But gently led the blind along where breath and bird could find him;
