Until We Meet Again, & James T. Fields' The Atlantic Monthly, "The Captain's Daughter"
In 1788, poet Robert Burns published an ancient Scottish folk song "Auld Lang Syne," (pregnant "in days of old gone by").
A similar verse form was written past Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in 1881, dedicated to the retentiveness of his friend James T. Fields, titled "Auf Wiedersehen" (meaning "until nosotros meet again").
The verse form independent a referenced to the Bible business relationship of Jesus raising the dead, and Heaven being a identify where we will see our friends again forever :
"Until we meet once more! That is the meaning
Of the familiar words, that men repeat
At departing in the street.
Ah yeah, till then ! but when death intervening
Rends usa disconnected, with what incessant pain
We wait for the Again! ...
Believing, in the midst of our afflictions,
That death is a beginning, not an stop,
We weep to them, and send
Farewells, that better might exist called predictions,
Being fore-shadowings of the future, thrown
Into the vast Unknown.
Religion overleaps the confines of our reason,
And if by religion, as in onetime times was said,
Women received their dead
Raised up to life, so only for a flavor
Our partings are, nor shall nosotros wait in vain
Until we come across again!
James T. Fields was born DECEMBER 31, 1817.
His father was a sea captain and died before Fields was iii.

The Atlantic Monthly published an commodity by abolitionist minister Thomas Wentworth Higginson, April 1862, titled "Alphabetic character to a Young Contributor," which inspired the immature Emily Dickinson.
Of Puritan descent, Emily Dickinson's gramps Samuel Fowler Dickinson founded Amherst Higher.
Growing upwards, her family had daily religious observances. At age 13, her father gave her a Bible.
She wrote in her letters of church sermons: "Nosotros had such a excellent sermon from that Prof Park -- I never heard anything like it."
While Emily Dickinson was attending Amherst College in 1845, there was smashing religious revival which resulted in the Temperance Movement. Town saloons closed.
At this fourth dimension, her begetter, Edward, and sister, Lavinia, publicly alleged their faith in Christ and officially joined the Congregationalist Church, August 11, 1850.
Emily Dickinson wrote:
"I never enjoyed such perfect peace and happiness every bit the brusk fourth dimension in which I felt I had constitute my savior ... (information technology was the) greatest pleasure to commune alone with the great God & to feel that he would listen to my prayers."
Though attention church regularly for years, she later mentioned in poem written around 1852, that she still kept the Sabbath:
"Some keep the Sabbath going to Church building -- I keep it, staying at Home."

"Religion — is the Pierless Bridge
Supporting what We run across
Unto the Scene that Nosotros exercise not."
Emily Dickinson referred to the Creator in her poem "As If The Sea Should Part":
As if the Sea should office
And show a farther Body of water -
And that - a further - and the Three
But a presumption be -
Of Periods of Seas -
Unvisited past Shores -
Themselves the Verge of Seas to be -
Eternity - is Those -
Fourth dimension feels and so vast that were it not
For an Eternity -
I fear me this Circumference
Engross my Finity -
To His exclusion, who set up
By rudiments of Size
For the stupendous Volume
Of His Diameters -
Another famous author who had some works published in James T. Fields' The Atlantic Monthly, was Charles Dickens, author of The Christmas Ballad.
A relatively unknown work by Charles Dickens was written in 1849 for his ten children, titled. The Life of Our Lord.
It was left in the possession of his sister-in-law, Miss Georgia Hogarth. At her death in 1917, it belonged to Charles Dicken's eighth son, Sir Henry Fielding Dickens, who made provision in his Last Will and Testament to have it published.
In March of 1934, Marie Dickens proceeded to have it published in series class by the Associated Newspapers, Ltd., of London.
In information technology, Charles Dickens wrote:
"My dear children, I am very anxious that you should know something about the History of Jesus Christ. For everybody ought to know well-nigh Him.
No 1 always lived, who was and so skilful, then kind, and then gentle, and and then sorry for all people who did wrong, or were in anyhow sick or miserable, equally he was.
And he is at present in Sky, where we hope to go, and to meet each other after we are dead, and there be happy always together, yous never can think what a good place Sky is, without knowing who he was and what he did."
Relaying the Gospel, Dickens continued:
"When he came out of the Wilderness, he began to cure sick people by just laying his hand upon them;
for God had given him power to heal the ill, and to give sight to the blind, and to practise many wonderful and solemn things of which I shall tell you lot more than cheerio and goodbye, and which are called the 'Miracles' of Christ.
I wish you would remember that word, considering I shall use it once again, and I should like you to know that it means something which is very wonderful and which could non be done without God's leave and assistance ...
Giving the account of Lazarus, Dickens wrote:
"Jesus ordered the stone to be rolled away, which was washed.
Then, after casting upward his optics, and thanking God, he said, in a loud and solemn voice, 'Lazarus, come forth!' and the dead man, Lazarus, restored to life, came out among the people, and went dwelling house with his sisters.
At this sight ... many of the people there, believed that Christ was indeed the Son of God, come to instruct and save flesh."
The Atlantic Monthly editor James T. Fields wrote a verse form in 1858, titled "The Captain's Daughter or The Ballad of the Tempest":
"... WE were crowded in the cabin,
Not a soul would dare to sleep,--
Information technology was midnight on the waters,
And a storm was on the deep.
'Tis a fearful matter in winter
To exist shattered by the blast,
And to hear the rattling trumpet
Thunder, 'Cut away the mast!'
So we shuddered there in silence,--
For the stoutest held his jiff,
While the hungry sea was roaring
And the breakers talked with death.
Every bit thus we sat in darkness
Each one busy with his prayers,
'We are lost!' the captain shouted,
As he staggered down the stairs.
But his trivial daughter whispered,
As she took his icy paw,
'Isn't God upon the ocean,
Just the same every bit on the country?'
Then we kissed the little maiden,
And we spake in better cheer,
And we anchored safety in harbor
When the morn was shining articulate."
