AURORA    TO    ZEPHYR 

I  COME,  I  am  tracing 

Thy  path  from  afar, 
The  moon  outfacing, 

And  morning  star. 
Look,  look,  I  am  leaving, 

The  pine-covered  height 
For  the  valley,  and  cleaving 

A  pathway  of  light 
To  Zephyr  my  love. 


Thou  hast  set  the  bough  swinging 

In  garden  and  grove, 
To  the  voice  of  thy  singing 

The  white  lilies  move. 
What  censers  are  shaken  ! 

What  dew-bells  are  tost ! 
What  joys  reawaken ! 

What  sorrows  are  lost ! 

Zephyr,  Zephyr,  my  love.

SONGS    AND    LYRICS 

Our  rapture  of  meeting 

All  hasten  to  share, 
Our  first  kiss  of  greeting 

Will  thrill  through  the  air: 
Come,  the  rose-helted 

Clouds  fly  apace, 
All  heaven  is  melted 

In  our  embrace. 

Zephyr,  Zephyr,  my  love.

FLOWERS    THAT    SPRING    FROM 
STEMS    OF    THOUGHT 

FLOWERS  that  spring  from  steins  of  thought, 

Hope  and  joy  diffusing, 
By  what  magic  are  you  wrought 

Out  of  sombre  musing? 


Wherefore  into  sudden  bloom 
Do  you  shoot  and  cluster, 

Filling  meditation's  room 
With  unwanted  lustre? 


What  has  chanced,  what  changed,  what  wins 

This  sweet  salutation? 
Is  it  thus  the  Muse  begins 

Some  divine  dictation? 


Is  it  what  the  linnet  knows  ? 

Is  it  Nature's  gladness? 
Or  some  hope  that  brighter  grows 

From  the  dews  of  sadness? 


Into  some  new  field  of  space 
Has  our  planet  slanted, 

From  its  evil-haunted  ways 
By  new  stars  enchanted  ? 
11 


SPRING    SONG 

BREATH  of  Spring,  what  fitful  numbers 

Move  in  step  with  thine  ? 
What  desire  that  in  me  slumbers 

Owns  thy  call  divine? 


Birds,  enlist  me  in  your  quire, 
Stream,  and  tasselled  tree, 

Sunny  leaf,  and  bud  of  fire, 
You  our  audience  be. 


Spring,  I  catch  thy  quick  pulsation, 
Words  and  phrases  throng, 

But  thy  careless  exultation 
Beats  not  in  my  song. 


12 


DISCOVERED 


DEARER  than  the  tranquil  joy  of  dream, 
Fairer  than  the  break  of  day  thou  art, 

In  thy  movements  and  thine  eyes'  still  beam 
Dwells  a  charm  of  power  to  sway  the  heart. 


In  what  web  of  magic  art  thou  wound? 

To  what  measure  does  thy  spirit  move  ? 
Art  thou  in  some  subtle  sorrow  bound? 

Dost  thou  stand  within  the  reach  of  love? 


13 


A    BURDEN    OF    SPRING 

DEAD  as  falls  the  dead  leaf 

Falls  day  on  day, 
On  peach-bloom  and  apple-bloom 

And  the  white  thorn  of  May. 
Did  the  trees  in  Eden 

Their  blossoms  renew 
When  the  pair  were  exiled 

For  whom  they  blew? 


Nightingale,  thou  wanton, 

With  thy  pretty  tune 
Hast  my  love  enchanted, 

To  wander  'neath  the  moon. 
Through  wild-wood,  through  waste-land 

He  stumbles  in  fear, 
Calls  my  name  at  midnight 

By  the  silver  mere. 


Moor-hen  and  marish-fowl 

Hear  him  when  he  calls, 
I  hear,  but  when  I  answer 

My  voice  no  more  enthrals ; 
And  while  I  stand  and  listen 

Moments  grow  to  years, 
Weep,  misty  twilight, 

Weep  my  tears. 
14 


EVE'S    SONG 

SWART  Night  and  sweet  Day, 
Together  wont  to  play 
In  the  archway  of  the  Dawn, 
Veil  and  shadow  withdrawn 
And  cast  upon  the  stars  : 
What  is  it  now  that  mars 
Your  entertainment  free, 
That  ye  no  more  rejoice 
To  hear  each  other's  voice 
Of  golden  amity? 
One  vexed  with  evil  dreams, 
And  one  reluctant  seems 
To  show  her  burning  face. 
Do  you  share  in  our  disgrace  ? 


15 


BOY    AND    GIRL 


I  SAID  "  Good-bye,  I  am  gone  ! 

She  looked  up  wistfully : 
"Tarry  but  over  another  dawn, 
To-morrow  say  Good-bye." 
Alas  !  hours  pass  ! 


I  went  on  the  morrow  and  bade 
Good-bye  to  my  love  alone ; 

She  eyed  me  coldly  and  said 

"  We  thought  you  already  gone." 
Ah  !  well,  farewell ! 


I  speed  through  the  avenue  now, 

But  the  rooks,  who  are  never  alone, 

Are  calling  from  bough  to  bough 
"We  thought  him  already  gone." 
Gone  !  Gone  !  already  gone  ! 


There  is  only  the  boy  at  the  gate  ; 

I  am  sad,  I  know  not  why; 
I  will  give  him  a  piece  of  silver 
To  bid  me  a  kind  good-bye. 
Alas  !  hours  pass  ! 
16 


O  HOURS  OF  TRANQUIL  MUSING" 


O  HOURS  of  tranquil  musing 
When  I  was  seizing,  losing, 

Some  charm  of  woven  rhyme, 
And  mid  forms  of  fancy  choosing 
The  fairest,  none  refusing 

That  would  run  in  tune  and  time. 


Now  fixed  to  one  impression, 
With  all  my  wits  in  session 

Over  a  look  or  word  : 
One  theme  in  full  possession, 
And  with  a  fine  discretion 

To  all  the  rest  preferred. 


O  innocent  idle  pleasure 
In  Nature's  golden  leisure, 

Of  your  loss  shall  I  complain? 
When  with  your  toys  I  measure 
My  rich,  new-quarried  treasure, 

To  regret  you  shall  I  feign? 


17 


GARDENER,  HAVE  YOU  SEEN  A 
ROSE? 

GARDENER,  have  you  seen  a  rose 
Parti-coloured,  newly  blown, 

Where  midsummer  winds  disclose 
All  the  pastimes  they  have  known? 

One  her  bosom  bore  to-day, 

See  it  is  not  cast  away. 


Would  you  know  it?    Tis  a  scroll 
Vermeil-tinct,  with  edges  white, 

From  whose  leaves  you  might  unroll 
Wisdom  filled  with  love's  delight ; 

Ask  not  what  it  was  before, 

Now  'tis  one  her  bosom  bore. 


18 


THE   CORNFIELD 

LOVE  I  spied  one  summer  morn, 
No  higher  than  the  poppy  stand 

Tip-toe, 
And  all  aglow, 

Pouting  his  lips  to  blow 
The  gossamer  over  the  yellow-headed  corn ; 

While  he  whistled  to  the  breeze 

To  bear  it  to  the  seas, 
Where  Venus  his  mother  was  born, 

"You  are  light,  so  away, 

You  are  fickle  and  free, 
All  of  your  sort  are  company; 

Are  you  for  sport? 

Then  to  my  mother's  court, 

Go  and  dance  with  the  spray," 

Said  Love,  and  he  lay 
With  his  curls  down  again  in  the  corn. 


19 


WHAT  GIVEST  THOU  ME  IN  PASSING? 


WHAT  givest  thou  me  in  passing? 

Thy  beauty  ?    Be  not  proud  ; 
For  me  the  wave  is  glassing 

Blue  heaven  without  a  cloud. 


What  light  on  me  is  breaking? 

Thy  smile?    Be  not  so  coy, 
Round  me  to  spring  awaking 

Earth  laughs  and  leaps  for  joy. 


20 


ADIEU 

ART  thou  again  on  the  wing 

Southward,  over  the  snows, 
Sweet  swallow  that  made  our  spring? 

Wilt  thou  now  our  summer  close  ? 
Over  the  stream,  and  abroad  in  the  air, 

A  dead  leaf  is  whirling, 
And  under  my  foot  is  the  rose. 


21 


FIRST    LOVE 

Penzance. 

WE  come  together  idly, 

Idly  the  vessel  dips, 
Scarce  does  a  word  of  greeting 

Find  breath  to  pass  my  lips. 


A  sidelong  glance  I  venture, 
And  a  random  word  I  speak, 

When  a  sudden  smile  indenteth 
The  fairness  of  her  cheek. 


Then  as  if  in  some  strange  fashion 
We  both  had  heard  good  news, 

A  babble  of  talk  and  laughter 
At  I  know  not  what  ensues. 


As  when  in  a  town  beleaguered, 
That  looks  famine  in  the  face, 

At  dead  of  night  a  trooper 
Shouts  in  the  market  place : 
22 


FIRST    LOVE 

"Good  news!    Good  news!"    Each  burgher 

Hastes  to  unbar  his  door, 
The  women  behind  him  cluster, 

And  into  the  street  they  pour ; 


Plying  question  after  question, 

For  the  answer  brings  fresh  delight  ;- 

So  with  us,  whate'er  we  hazard, 
Is  miraculously  right. 


And  within  me  a  voice  repeateth 
Can  it  be  true?    Time  slips, 

She  is  called.     I  linger  idly, 
Idly  the  vessel  dips. 


23 


THE  FIRST  QUARREL 

BEND  and  bow,  all-waving  flow, 
Falling,  rising,  airily, 
Laden  branches,  swelling  tree  ! 
Leaf  meander,  come  and  go, 
Dancing  leaf  thou  tak'st  not  me. 


Morning  beams  that  round  me  dart 
Magic  sweetness,  golden  cheer, 
You  are  far  tho'  seeming  near; 
Wind,  thbu  warmest  not  my  heart 
Though  thou  driest  every  tear. 


FOLLY 


WHO  was  it  near  me  sighed? 

'Twas  pale  proud  Melancholy ; 
"What  pain  do  we  now  divide," 

Quoth  she,  "Is  it  love  or  pride  ? " 
No,  no ;  'tis  nought  but  folly ! 

'Tis  nought,  'tis  nought  but  folly ! 


"Folly  of  what  complexion?" 
Fair  mischief  with  fond  eyes : 

"And  what  her  imperfection?" 
That  away  from  me  she  flies. 

"  Then  to  music  let  us  rally, 
That  with  such  thoughts  will  tally, 
Till  all  vain  longing  dies." 


25 


MADRIGAL 


As  he  sat  at  the  feet  of  his  love, 

And  with  one  hand  was  toying, 
To  her  shoulder  she  lured  a  white- winged  dove, 

For  the  other  hand's  employing. 


"  May  I  not  call  a  moment  mine  ? " 

Quoth  he,  "  Oh  dismiss  thy  minion,"- 
"Fie,  fie,"  she  said  with  brow  benign, 
Smoothing  her  darling's  pinion. 


Oh  beware !  for  the  heart  rebels 
When  love  insipid  chains  it: 

Siveet  comes  in  course,  the  palate  else, 
Voluptuous,  disdains  it. 


"  If  for  love,"  he  cried,  "  you  are  still  athirst ; 

Of  me,  of  me  grow  fonder," 
"Why  not  content  to  be  the  first?" 

She  replies  while  her  glances  wander. 


Ah  I  beware!  for  love  is  ever  wanton, 

If  only  toying,  toying, 
And  ivell  for  you  that  a  ivhite-ivinged  dove 

Is  at  hand  for  her  decoying. 
26 


TO 


ABE  you  richer  for  the  song  I  penned  you  ? 
See  now  a  sheaf  I  send  you. 


Are  you  poorer  for  the  kiss  you  gave  me? 
Nay  then  its  fellow  save  me. 


If  that  child's  touch  upon  my  lips  requite 
An  offering  so  light, 


What  if  the  deep  enchantment  of  my  spirit 
Should  bid  you  fame  inherit, 


Kindling  my  verse  as  when  a  cloud  on  fire 
Draws  all  eyes  to  admire, 


What  would  the  gift  be  then  ?     Ah  !    far  above 
My  music,  were  it  love. 


27 


AS  THE  OLIVES  BEND  DOWN  TO  SEA 

As  the  olives  bend  down  to  the  sea, 
Touching  the  earth  with  a  silver  bough, 

So  I  bend  to  thee 

With  silent  longing  and  fruitless  vow. 
Ah !  down  the  steep  I  would  gladly  rush, 

But  am  rooted  now, 
And  like  the  olives  can  only  push 
A  branch  thy  way,  and  look  below, 
And  murmur  thy  name  on  the  mountain's  brow. 


28 


THE  BOATMAN 

BOATMAN  !  the  sail  unfurling 

Before  the  wind  we'll  float, 
The  water  round  us  curling  ; 

For  the  earth  I  know  by  rote  ; 
And  the  light  lift  of  the  boat 

On  the  laughing  blithesome  wave, 

Shall  give  me  all  I  crave. 

Out  Envy  !    Mad  Possession  ! 
What  is  ours  but  life's  procession  ? 
Let  me  take  what  nature  offers ; 

In  my  coffers 

Treasure  what  the  world  may  share  ; 
With  the  ripple's  beat  and  bubble, 
Laugh  at  what  the  rich  call  trouble ; 
Rise,  and  see  the  coast-line  gleaming, 

Vineyards  teeming, 
Fall,  and  all  but  miss  the  curving 
Lines  of  mountains,  swaying,  swerving, 

With  our  motion,  to  our  measure, 

Making  fortune  serve  our  pleasure. 
Unmoored,  unmoored  my  heart  shall  float, 

And  the  light  lift  of  the  boat 

On  the  laughing,  blithesome  wave 

Shall  give  me  all  I  crave. 


29 


THE  OLD  BRIDGE 

Val  Anzasca. 

LIZARD,  I  spy  an  alpine  rose 

Beside  you  gaily  springing  ; 
Wild  rose,  I  see  the  mountain  stream 

His  dew  upon  you  flinging  ; 
Stream,  I  espy  a  rustic  bridge 

Spanning  your  wave  demurely  ; 
Old  bridge,  I  see  a  kerchiefed  maid 

Who  walks  your  planks  securely. 
With  youthful  life  her  bosom  heaves, 

Her  foot  is  lightly  planted, 
Up  by  the  wood  she  turns,  and  leaves 

The  bridge  and  stream  enchanted. 


30 


A  SHORE  DOTH  LOVE  ANOTHER 
SHORE 


A  SHORE  doth  love  another  shore; 

Then  lordly  pines  are  felled, 
And  swiftly  down  to  ocean's  roar, 

A  hollow  ship  compelled. 


By  the  sea  pink  and  lavender, 
And  past  the  edges  of  the  foam 

Where  the  black  seaweed  is  astir ; 
Past  rocks  that  guard  the  home, 


Out  in  the  offing  of  the  bay, 
Borne  on  from  crest  to  crest 

Of  clamorous  waves,  that  till  that  day 
Ran  aimless  and  unblest. 


Across  the  vessel  now  they  sweep, 
Man's  joyous  life  to  share, 

The  sea-birds  dive,  the  dolphins  leap ; 
The  storm  kings  in  their  lair, 
31 


SONGS    AND    LYRICS 

Long  used  to  ease  a  sullen  mind 
By  churning  waves  to  froth, 

Or  shattering  rocks,  rejoice  to  find 
One  who  can  feel  their  wrath. 


By  sundering  men  the  gods  foresee 
To  the  deep  new  life  is  given, 

And  that  wan  space  might  peopled  be, 
They  bide  in  distant  heaven. 


32 


THREE   SONGS 
A  SEQUENCE 


I  YIELD,  but  am  not  conquered ; 

Would  I  were  more  a  slave ! 
You  have  not  in  rule  such  pleasure 

As  I  in  service  have. 


You  wound  me,  and  I  am  stricken ; 

Would  it  were  really  pain  ! 
Would  it  corroded  deeper, 

This  ornamental  chain ! 


Spare  not !    be  keen  and  cruel, 
Sweet  tyrant !    chide  me  yet, 

Be  cruel,  arid  then  be  tender, 

There  is  one  I  would  fain  forget. 


33 


SONGS    AND    LYRICS 


ii 


No  more  kind  looks  and  no  more  slights, 

Is  it  a  loss  or  gain? 
Fewer  sad  thoughts  by  days  and  nights, 

Yet  fewer  joys  remain. 


How  light  this  bosom  feels,  how  free  ! 

Yet  something  vacant  too ; 
So  my  new  mistress,  Liberty, 

Like  a  lover  I  must  woo. 


34 


THREE    SONGS,   A   SEQUENCE 


in 


To  thee  my  steps  are  turning 
When  Slumber's  hand  I  take, 

I  see  thee  through  the  summer  night, 
Thy  voice  when  I  awake 


In  my  charmed  ear  re-echoes, 
Tho'  silent  all  the  day ; 

No  accents  e'er  revealed  a  soul 
So  gentle  and  so  gay. 


How  oft  to  lute  and  viol 

I  listen  for  thy  strain, 
Through  labyrinths  of  mazy  sound 

I  follow,  but  in  vain. 


Now,  Beatris,  I  fathom 

Thy  poet's  true  design ; 
Thy  lips  were  closed,  and  of  goodwill 

Had  given  but  little  sign. 


Then  with  a  mighty  patience, 

Submissive  to  God's  law, 
Through  gulfs  of  pain,  with  slow  approach, 

Tow'rds  thee  his  footsteps  draw. 

35 


SONGS   AND   LYRICS 

Then  he  unlocked  thy  bosom 

From  its  stronghold  of  restraint, 

Filling  thy  mouth  with  words  and  tones, 
For  which  his  heart  was  faint. 


And  from  zone  to  zone  ascending, 

What  wonders  he  espied  ! 
When  his  want  of  love  and  constancy 

Thy  lips  ceased  not  to  chide. 


'Twas  to  hold  thee  still  discoursing 
He  made  his  scheme  so  vast, 

And  through  whole  cantos  heard  thy  voice 
The  universe  recast. 


But  of  my  love  no  wisdom 

I  would  ask,  nor  golden  phrase, 

Yea,  nothing  more  celestial 
Than  a  greeting  of  old  days.

WIT   AND   LOVE 

WHERE  the  winged  wit  is  sitting 
Mute  on  lips  sedate  and  pure, 

In  the  shadows  love  is  flitting, 
Carefully  obscure. 


Round  her  lips  wit  plays  and  hovers, 
Till  their  silence  they  forego, 

Then  the  parted  line  discovers 
Love's  victorious  bow.

THE   LORD   OF  THE   MANOR 

WHAT  boots  the  volume  of  the  world  outspread 

Before  thine  eyes  of  lead, 
Its  changes,  and  its  pageants,  and  its  dooms  ? 

All  these  thy  mind  entombs 
In  its  great  burial-place,  where  sink  to  rest 

The  oppressor  and  the  opprest  ; 
Where  feuds  are  hushed,  and  agitations  lulled, 

And  all  proud  gains  annulled. 
New  powers  are  throned,  new  truths  of   various 
glance 

Appear — nay,  they  advance, 
They  overrun  thee,  but  thou  knows't  it  not, 

In  thy  manorial  plot 
Deeply  embedded,  stolid  and  secure, 
Like  a  great  boulder  on  a  tawny  moor.

FOUR   MINSTRELS 


I  CAN  be  sorrowful,  thoughtful,  or  scornful, 

I  c.an  be  lively  and  sharp, 
Carelessly  joyous,  or  dreamily  mournful, 

For  so  many  strings  has  my  harp. 
Piercingly  ring  they,  loftily,  daringly, 

Under  the  Muses'  control ; 
One  little  cadence  I  whisper  them  sparingly, 

That  from  my  secret  soul. 


II 

What  are  you  busy  with,  good  youth? 
A  marriage  song  for  Love  and  Truth. 

What  gave  that  random  fancy  birth  ? 
A  glimpse  of  the  new  heaven  and  earth. 

That  we  call  mystical,  my  friend  ; 
Doubtless,  but  o'er  that  task  I  bend. 

What  keeps  you  constant  to  your  aim  ? 
Beauty  unseized,  and  distant  fame.

"  In  the  world's  garden  who  can  cull 

No  herb  of  healing  power, 
Must  with  eternal  music  lull 

The  anguish  of  the  hour." 

O  poet,  in  thy  far-ranging  flight, 

With  many  a  mournful  cry, 
Thou   bringest  the  wealth    of  the    world    to 
light, 

And  on  thy  wings  we  fly. 

How  wondrous  is  the  soul !  how  warm 

Yet  lofty  its  desire ! 
Miraculous  is  Nature's  charm  ! 

Strike,  poet,  strike  thy  lyre. 

The  world  shall  call  thy  losses  gains, 

Then  all  thyself  impart ; 
Existence  shows  its  ruddy  veins, 

From  the  wound  within  thy  heart.

"The  trees  are  all  nodding  and  bending 

To  the  measure  I  set  from  below, 
To  hear  me  the  brook  is  descending, 

The  lithe  swallows  dart  to  and  fro. 
The  leaves  of  the  sycamore  tremble 

To  the  roll  of  my  epic,  I  ween, 
Yea,  the  clouds  in  the  zenith  assemble," 

Sings  the  wren  on  the  stalk  of   a  bean.

The  plum-tree  empurples  his  fruit, 
The  stars  of   the  clematis  glisten, 

And  higher  the  bulrushes  shoot ; 
The  lover  my  rondel  is  humming, 

He  will  whisper  his  lady  unseen, 
That  at  last  the  new  poet  is  coming," 

Sings  the  wren  on  the  stalk  of  a  bean.

A   SOUTHERN   GIRL 

THE   chant  has   ceased,  and   through   its    echoes 

she  hears 

The  plaintive  prayer  to  Mary  Mother  intoned, 
With  soft  "  Amen  "  that  falters  from  arch  to  arch. 
Then  from  her  cushion  rising  with  eyes  bedimmed 
She  follows  in  its  motion  a  wandering  beam, 
That  hither,  thither,  topaz  and  violet,  flits 
About  the  column,  now  on  the  altar,  now 
Above  the  kneeling  priest  it  is  seen  to  rest. 
"A  token  from  above  on  the  saintly  man," 
She  thinks  with  awe,  as  along  the  aisle  she  moves, 
Beneath  the  window  saints  in  their  aureoles, 
Demure,  and  passing  out  to  the  golden  air 
Breathes  free,  and  takes  with  a  smile  an  offered 

flower. 

Ere  she  knows  how  it   chances,  or  what  befalls, 
Her  heart,  late  tuned  to  a  penitential  psalm, 
Thrills  with  the  swaying  crowd  in  the  Fountain 

Square, 

Where  two  are  locked  together  with  dagger  gleam ; 
And  flooding  every  movement  with  light,  her  eyes, 
But  now  in  wistful  gaze  on  the  two  large  tears 
Ready  to  fall  of  the  Mother  of  Pain  in  the  niche, 
Hold  in  their  glowing  mirror  the  shifting  scene 

44 


A   SOUTHERN   GIRL 

Exalted,  as  though  'twere   played  to  a  jewelled 

court ; 

Her  red  lips  bite  the  stalk  of  a  rose,  that  else, 
But  for  this  show,  had  laughed  with  pride  in  her 

hair. 

Breathless  she  watches  flash  and  parry  and  clench, 
And  notes  the  crimson  spot  on  the  fountain-stone ; 
At  last  she  takes  the  rose  from  her  lips  and  cries, 
"  Gesii,  thorough  the  shoulder,  a  pretty  stroke ! "

LINES   FOR   MUSIC 

A  PERFUME  out  of  the  past, 
From  the  flowers  your  fingers  were  braiding 
And  carelessly  cast 
By  the  way, 
Is  pervading 
The  bloom  of  the  day, 

And  at  last, 
Turns  the  song  of  the  white-handed  May 

To  complaint, 

The  splendour  of  Nature  is  fading 
Before  it  though  faint.

ONE  day  in  seven  I  see  you, 
Though  oft  your  face  I  seek. 

My  life  is  like  a  flower 
That  opens  once  a  week.

Then  on  the  light  it  gathers 
In  one  day's  bliss  and  bloom, 

It  feeds  while  it  is  folded 
For  six  days  in  the  tomb.

And  when  the  term  is  ended, 
Each  leaf  in  haste  it  moves, 

Till  in  the  glowing  daylight 
It  looks  on  what  it  loves.

NIGHT 

ON  the  mountain  crescent  glistens 
The  cloud  from  its  wanderings  free  : 

The  breathless  pinewood  listens 

To  the  voice  at  the  edge  of  the  sea. 


The  sea  pauseth  and  waiteth 
For  a  whisper  from  the  land  ; 

The  pride  of  life  abateth  ; 

Cliff-shadows  kneel  on  the  sand. 


Rocks,  mountains  softly  moulded, 
I  am  come  your  breath  to  draw, 

With  you  to  be  enfolded, 
In  child-like  peace  and  awe. 


By  man  deserted,  sharing 
No  more  his  friendly  sky, 

Thro'  the  void  ether  bearing 
Intent  the  eternal  eye.

THE    WINDOW 

'Tis  so,  when  one  from  a  window  looks  without 

purpose  or  plan, 
He  sees  what  is  new  in  the  old,  and  marvels  at 

Nature  and  Man. 

This  m  orn  I  look  at  the  land-locked  bay,  and  the 

passing  crowd, 
And  see  the  moss  on  the  wall,   and  the  upland 

meeting  the  cloud. 

The   captive   trees,    with  averted  boughs  on  the 

Esplanade 
In  the  dance  of  their  shadows  are  gay  as  those  by 

a  forest  glade. 

On  the  coast-guard's  cliff,  with  children  at  play, 

sheep  nibble  and  roam  ; 
Below,  sea-swallows  circle  about  the  edge  of  the 

foam. 

Farther  aslant  on  the  fall  of  the  tide  the  brigan- 

tine  leans ; 
Near  it,  with  crossing  lines  oblique,   the   coaster 

careens.

The  Indian  looks  at  the  ash  with  eyes  that  re- 
member the  palm, 

And  from  motion  to  motion  of  lassitude  falls  like 
a  sail  in  a  calm. 

I  see  the  young  mother  with  babe  in  arm,  and 

Madonna  face, 
From    the   profaiier   crowd   aloof  in   her   dainty 

grace. 

Limps    a    poor    woman    along,    and    curtsies    to 

mother  and  child, 
The  babe  leans  forward  amazed,  but  the  mother 

is  unbeguiled. 

Boy-babe,  do  you  start  at  the  poor,  not  knowing 

that  all  these  years 
We  eye  them  as  part   of  the   show,  nor  wonder 

at  tatters  and  tears? 

A  Christ-like  child  you  look  as  from  mother's 
bosom  you  stretch 

Wide-open  palms  but  empty,  alas  !  to  the  care- 
worn wretch. 

Upward  now  in  the  anguish  of  pity  your  arms 

you  toss, 
All,  all,  yourself  you   would   give,  but   that  way 

leads  to  the  Cross.

DOUBT 

STUNG  by  an  April  shower  I  stood 

Under  an  archway  dim ; 
Stole  in  upon  the  motley  crowd 

A  woman  young  and  slim. 

We  that  were  in  the  shadow  felt 

Her  entrance  to  the  place, 
For  as  water  breaks  to  light  so  broke 

Each  movement  into  grace. 

She  comes  in  her  beauty's  eminence, 
And  on  either  side  they  yield, 

For  in  the  folds  of  her  faded  gown 
Distinction  is  revealed. 

"  Our  earth  will  ne'er  be  given  to  fire 

Before  her  sister  spheres, 
When  such  an  one  she  can  bring  to  light 

But  in  a  thousand  years." 

This,   this  is  she  I  have  waited  for 
From  the  beginning,  and  still 

From  idols  I  have  kept  myself 
To  be  worthy  her  goodwill. 
51 


SONGS    AND    LYRICS 

Nearer  I  move,  and  on  her  brow 

Saw  candour  infantine ; 
Her  lips  were  moulded  for  the  truth, 

But  love  had  touched  the  line. 

She  turned  a  bracelet  in  her  hand 

Set  with  medallions  three  ; 
They  were  Joan,  Mary,  and  Antoinette, 

High  names  in  chivalrie. 

Her  eyes  were  hid,  like  jewels  they 

Were  on  her  trinket  set, 
The  face  most  studied  of  the  three 

I  saw  was  Antoinette. 

It  may  have  been  her  mother's  ?  .  .  .  Yes, 

But  why  is  she  alone  ?  .  .  . 
I  muse.     Look  on  her  face  again, 

I  look,  but  she  is  gone.

THE   AKT  STUDENT 

I  CHANCED  to  meet  you  once,  do  you  remember 
Under  the  archway,  by  the  Pazzi  Palace, 
And  in  your  hand  you  held  a  figured  goblet ; 
I  took  it  from  you  unresisted,  seeking 
To  hold  you  there,  and  laboured  out  the  inscrip- 
tion, 
And  viewed  it  round  and  round,  and  asked  you 

whither, 

To  whom,  and  to  what  banquet  you  conveyed  it. 
And  after  question  hurried  on  to  question, 
Prompting  myself  with  words  to   speak   at   ran- 
dom, 

Dreading  a  gap  of  silence,  wildly  fluent, 
Making  such  ventures  that  we  laughed  together, 
My  wits  being  all  in  giddy  holiday  ; 
Until  at  last  I  found  myself  repeating 
Old  questions,  like  a  priest  at  confirmation. 
At  this  you  held  your  hand  to  take  the  goblet, 
And  then  a  moment  from  pure  grace  and  favour, 
Delayed,  then  turned,  and  then  again  delaying 
Gave  me  a  second  greeting  from  compassion. 
And  I  to  my  employment  went  light-hearted, 
And  there  I  showed  such  tokens  of  our  meeting, 
Such  kindness  and  such  joyful  wit  and  patience, 
That  all  my  fellow  craftsmen  wondered,  looking 
Surprise  at  one  another,  thus  translated, 
"  Is  this  the  comrade  wont  to  be  so  hasty  ? "

FAR  FROM   ME,    FAR   FROM   ME 

FAR  from  me,  far  from  me, 

Flit  Peace  and  Leisure, 
In  what  isle  of  the  Southern  Sea 

Take  they  their  pleasure? 

From  the  ambient  earth,  from  depth  and 
height, 

Contentment  stealing, 
Bubbling  billows,  bird  in  flight, 

For  thought  and  feeling. 

Tumult,  envy,  toil  and  teen 

Are  there  forgiven, 
Turned  to  spots  of  crimson  sheen 

In  the  mind's  heaven. 

Feuds,  disasters,  endless  tears 

Of  love  ill-fated, 
Become  ere  they  can  reach  their  ears 

To  song  related. 

Oh  to  change  clamorous  arguments 

And  proud  opinions, 
For  the  still-flowing  smooth  events 

Of  their  dominions :

Where  old  Ocean  to  the  land 

His  flock  convening, 
Finds  a  wild  swan  on  the  sand 

His  feathers  preening : 

Where  on  a  morning  after  storm 
The  mind  may  treasure, 

In  its  own  lasting  language-form, 
Nature's  brief  pleasure.

THREE   SONNETS 
A  SEQUENCE 


WHERE  do  your  beaming  wonder  and  desire 

Enrich  the  world  that  else  is  but  a  shade, 
Lighting  its  dulness  with  ethereal  fire, 

While  we  upon  your  absence  fret  and  fade  ? 
Who    takes    your    hand?     Who    intercepts    your 
glance  ? 

What  novel  pattern,  what  luxurious  dye 
In  the  rich  arabesque  of  circumstance 

Is  banquet  to  your  proud  and  covetous  eye? 
But  why  should  I  malign  thee  with  that  word, 

And  why  pursue  thee  with  so  blind  an  aim? 
All  my  wild  guesses  miss  thee,  my  sweet  bird, 

Nor  pierce  this  intervening  social  frame 
That  parts  us  like  a  close- en  tangled  wood, 
Where  birds  may  sing  but  cannot  be  pursued.

Why  art  thou  still  the  same?      Why  dost  them 
keep 

A  constant  form  and  feature  all  unchanged, 
When  thou  hast  left  thy  better  self  to  weep 

Its  image  tarnished,  and  its  faith  estranged? 
Why  be  so  one,  so  precious,  and  so  rare, 

So  little  like  but  one  in  outward  seeming, 
That  as  we  look  thou  art  beyond  compare, 

And  from  this  error  there  is  no  redeeming. 
Thy  soul  is  truant,  faithless,  wild  and  rude, 

A  wanderer  in  the  labyrinth  of  chance, 
Formless  and  variable  as  a  flood, 

That  where  it  slippeth  gaily  it  doth  dance : — 
Yet  though  I  heap  the  sum  of  thy  offence, 
'Tis  all  forgot  in  beauty's  innocence.

My  heart  denies  thee  access  and  resort, 

And  I  have  set  my  officers  of  state 
To  chase  thee  from  the  precincts  of  my  court ; 

Thou  art  proclaimed   and    outlawed,    and   thy 

date 
No  more  remembered  in  my  busy  mind, 

Nor  in  my  highways  hast  thou  leave  to  walk, 
Nor  in  my  garden  mayst  a  refuge  find, 

Though   every  flower  should  beckon  from   his 

stalk. 
But  as  an  insurrection  long  subdued 

Its  songs  and  badges  in  the  hamlet  leaves, 
Shows  beacons  in  the  mountain  solitude, 

And  whispers  in  the  hedges  on  dark  eves, 
So  some  solicitude  beyond  my  will 
Remembers  thee  and  wears  thy  favour  still.

THE  falling  white  cloud  is  breaking  its  edge 

On  the  stalwart  mountain's  brow, 
Falling  and  creeping  from  ledge  to  ledge, 

As  the  light  winds  allow, 
Till  the  ripple  against  the  garden  wall 
Counts  it  vanished  beyond  recall. 

A  petal  of   red  oleander  rocks 

On  the  airy  colourless  wave, 
And  with  defiant  beauty  mocks 

Our  meditation  grave  ; 
Till  the  ripple  against  the  garden  wall 
Counts  it  vanished  beyond  recall. 

The  winged  hour  but  a  moulten  feather 
In  the  hands  that  grasp  it  leaves  ; 

Lovers    make    much    of    time    when    you    come 

together, 
For  thinking  after  grieves, 

When  the  ripple  against  the  garden  wall 

Counts  it  vanished  beyond  recall.

DID  I  look  for  more  than  olive,  cypress  and  vine, 
And  the  red  flower  blooming  on  the  castle-wall, 

While  the  sails  are  dropping  down 

To  the  Zephyr's  pretty  frown, 
By  salients  of   the  wind-swept  Appenine  ?

Part  with  part  from  peak  to  cape 
One  controlling  hand  doth  shape; 
Shore  and  bay  curved  like  a  shell, 
Islet,  inlet, — who  can  tell 
What  is  wanting  to  the  spell? 
For  like  the  cadence  of   a  mighty  song, 
Curves  the  proud  mountain  to  the  tideless  sea, 

Across  whose  undulation  free 
The  white  road  dips  and  rises  airily, 
Coasting  along 
By  cliff  and  ravine 
Till  poised  upon  a  rock  'tis  seen  ; 
Then  disappears  with  sudden  turn 
Where  the  cactus-blossoms  burn. 
No  more  I  haste  with  greedy  glance 

For  what  beyond  may  chance, 
Of  new  illusion  or  of  old  romance; 
What  is  beyond  let  the  seagull  learn; 
'Tis  the  same  beauty  still  in  flight, 
And  the  same  love  but  less  delight.

It  is  not  passing  as  an  idle  show, 
That  I  am  here  indeed,  not  a  thin  shade, 
A  memory  of  myself  has  hither  strayed 
Sees  the  young  matron  pass  with  child  on  arm, 
Who    smiles    and    wantons    with   her    necklace- 
charm  ; 

Sees  the  red-kerchiefed  girl  upon  the  stair 
Pausing,  and  looking  round  with  eyes  as  fair 
As  Viola's,  whose  phantom  she  might  be. 
Is  all  I  dreamt  become  reality 
And  I  myself  in  turn  the  dream?     O  Muse, 
Who  canst  at  will  the  light  and  darkness  use, 
What  thought,  what  art,  what  music  shall  essay 
To  put  the  world  within  my  grasp  to-day, 
Strike  it  to  life  and  with  a  touch  divine 
Show  it  to  others  that  it  may  be  mine.

AS   LONG  AS   THE   BREATH 

As  long  as  the  breath  sweeps  over  my  lip 

You  will  be  dear  to  me, 

O  sweet  let  slip 
That  dainty  network  of  caprice 

In  which  you  glance  about, 
And  your  true  feature  let  us  see, 

Beyond  compare 
With  any  counterfeit  more  fair. 
Think  you  our  true  love  to  enhance 
With  tempest  after  heavenly  peace, 
And  dazzling  favour  after  doubt? 
That  is  an  elfin-child's  romance. 


CHANGES 

Lake  of  Como. 

THE  last  cloud  from  the  zenith 

The  winds  in  silence  bear ; 
But  one  white  peak  remaineth 

In  the  unillumined  air. 

To  every  change  sweet  Nature 

Conciliates  wave  and  hill, 
Remoulding  every  feature 

With  delight  in  her  own  skill. 

She  fears  no  frowns  nor  glances 

Of  alienation  cold, 
Though  hooded  Eve  advances, 

And  the  Sun's  tale  is  told. 

She  recks  not  of  his  embers, 

Her  fire  is  soon  renewed  ; 
While  with  passion  the  heart  remembers, 

In  peace  doth  Nature  brood. 

See  !    Twilight's  intermission 

Fulfilled,  he  seeks  his  tent, 
And  Night  like  a  great  musician 

Sits  down  to  the  instrument.

Rests,  while  she  looks  below 

Thro'  the  shaggy  woods  ;   Orion 
Shrinks  from  her  silver  bow. 


On  the  lake's  mirror  paling 
Hesper  a  glance  bestows, 

And  like  a  bride  unveiling 
Capella  softly  glows. 

A  leaf  of  the  plantain  quivers, 
And  an  olive  grey  with  care 

In  his  wrinkled  branches  shivers, 
To  see  the  world  so  fair. 


ANDROMEDA 

SET  in  the  stars  are  all  our  wrongs, 
Who  can  vex  Andromeda  now?  .  .  . 
Her  eyes  are  glass,  her  wounded  brow 

Stains  the  dull  rock,  for  death  she  longs. 

She  looks :  the  creature  tow'rds  her  turns 

Crunching  the  shells  .  .  .  Who  frees  her  hands 
So  gently  ?     Who  before  her  stands  ? 

Perseus ;  and  back  to  life  she  burns. 

Those  death-filled  hours  upon  the  rock 
No  term  of  mortal  life  repays, 
So  she  is  throned  whence  she  may  gaze 

Secure  o'er  earthly  change  and  shock. 

To  greater  pain  the  Gods  avow 

The  richer  remedy  belongs  ; 

Who  can  vex  Andromeda  now? 
Set  in  the  stars  are  all  our  wrongs.

Val  Anzasca. 

THE  vines  are  trellised   over   the  roof, 
Wild  rose  on  the  rafters  thin, 

On  the  porch  oleander  winds  his  woof, 
And  squalor  sits  within. 

Truly  a  pauper's  hut  will  match 

So  mean  a  life  as  ours, 
Yet  ever  the  broken  roof  we  thatch, 

Art,  with  thy  gadding  flowers. 

Some  say  the  likeness  of  a  bower 

The  sordid  shed  retains  ; 
And  some,  tho'  vine  and  rose  may  flower, 

A  hovel  it  remains.

MIDSUMMER 

O  childish-gay  Midsummer  hours  ! 
Though  born  in  our  domain, 
No  fellowship  with  us  you  feign. 
When  we  say,  "  Ah  well-a-day  ! 
What  a  tangled  life  is  ours, 

We  can  but  feel  it, 
Pure  delight  is  not  allowed 
And  for  peace,  the  world  will  steal  it,' 
With  the  sun  and  moon  you  play, 
Cross  the  sky  and  build  the  cloud ; 

Then  descending, 
With  light  feet,  the  ears  of  corn 

At  your  will  are  bending  ; 
Or  you  dance  a  merry  round 
With  the  meadow-flowers  new-born, 

White  and  pied, 
All  with  a  chain  of  silver  sound 

Accompanied, 
Which  we  hear  when  most  forlorn.

SUMMER    LIGHTNING 

IN  the  gloaming,  lately  roaming, 
By  the  streamlet  chafing,  foaming, 
Flashed  the  lightning,  ever  bright'ning, 
Then  my  love  clung  fast  to  me. 


"  Why  so  fearful,  faint  and  tearful  ? 
This  is  summer  fire  and  cheerful, 
Meteor  splendour,  harmless,  tender, 
Turn  and  watch  it,  sweet,  with  me." 


Then  her  loving  arm  removing, 
"  Sir,  'tis  you,"  she  cried  reproving, 
"Too  enlightened,  that  are  frightened 
At  a  harmless  flash  from  me."

O  WHERE   SHALL  LOVE   BE   FOUND? 

O  where  shall  Love  be  found? 
In  places  dark  and  deep, 
Where  the  wingless  hours  creep 
Among  forgotten  dreams ; 
Ambushed,  where  no  light  streams ; 
With  waifs  and  castaways, 
Discarded,  out  of  grace, 
Hid  where  no  watch  is  set, 
And  feigning  to  be  bound 
In  slumber's  filmy  net ; 
While  above  it  life  is  wrought 
To  patterns  of  new  thought — 
There  shall  true  Love  be  found  ! 
Beneath  farewells  and  fretting, 
Long  silence  and  forgetting, 
Cold  pride  and  cruel  passion, 
In  his  unconscious  fashion, 
Still  hopeful,  still  alert, 
As  if  he  took  no  hurt 
From  all  this  spite  unmeasured, 
Well  knowing  he  is  treasured 
In  the  fastness  of  the  soul, 
Beyond  the  will's  control : 
And  should  occasion  call, 
With  but  a  word  or  glance, 
He  who  was  held  in  thrall 
In  quick  deliverance 
Appeareth  in  his  place, 
Master  by  right  and  grace.

HAVEN    NOR    HOME 

HAVEN  nor  home  has  the  cloud,  but  yielding  its  life 

as  it  passes 

It  leaves  the  flower  refreshed ; 
Th'  incoherent  wind's  mad  buffetings  swiftly  to 

harbour 

Impel  the  wished-for  barque  : 
Often  a  witless  dream  wide-wandering  threads  at 

a  venture 

The  golden  gate  of  Truth : 
Often  a  furious  sea  on  the  shore  that  it  rends  with 

its  breakers 

Upturns  a  rose-lipped  shell  : 
So  this  meaningless  world  from  its  manifold  web 

of  illusion 
Unfolds  to  me  your  love.

THE   GUARDIAN  ANGEL 

WHEN  you  hear  a  whisper — 

"Walk  in  fear," 
Your  Guardian  Angel 

To  God  draws  near; 

New  strength  to  gather, 

New  peace  to  win, 
A  moment  to  rest 

The  fold  within. 

He  joins  in  the  prayers 

At  the  Mercy-Seat, 
Which  the  seraph-children 

Smiling  repeat. 

He  looks  on  the  beauty 

Of  Paradise, 
Till  the  earth-shadow 

Fades  from  his  eyes. 

Flows  the  old  rapture 

Of  fellowship 
Into     his     bosom, 

Over  his  lip. 

74 


THE    GUARDIAN    ANGEL 

Then  forth  he  issues 

In  armour  of  light, 
Woven  of  beams 

Invisibly  bright. 

When  you  hear  a  whisper — 

"  Have  no  fear," 
-Your  Guardian  Angel 

From  God  draws  near.

SUNLIGHT 

SUN,  shining  full  upon  my  breast, 
As  I  stand  the  church  without, 
After  an  argument  well  exprest 

Inclining  faith  to  doubt, 

Thou  seizest  me  as  one  that  would  prevail ; 
Shine  on  the  ocean,  glisten  on  the  sail. 


"  Where  is  my  poem  ?     Where  the  strain 

Long  promised,  long  my  due, 
Whose  generous  life-abounding  vein 

Should  the  dull  world  renew  ?  " 
These  words  seem  with  the  wind  to  rise  and  fall 
That  shakes  the  red  valerian  on  the  wall. 


O  sovereign  beam,  thou  dost  not  own 

The  loveless  hours  in  which  we  fade, 
Man's  sorrows  reach  a  depth  unknown 
To  thy  sweet  comfort ;  in  the  shade 
Will  truth  be  won  that  must  the  soul  avail : 
Shine  on  the  ocean,  glisten  on  the  sail. 
76 


SUNLIGHT 

"  Thou  too,  dost  thou  within  the  mist 

Of  vaporous  thought,"  the  voice  returns, 
"Search  for  the  truth  and  life  resist, 

God's  splendour  that  within  thee  burns  ? 
Truth  is  all  fervour,  joy,  and  golden  beam, 
Rapture  of  living,  other  truth  is  dream."

VITA  NUOVA 

Now  is  the  flower  of  morning  open  blown, 
And  we  come  forth  as  to  a  world  unknown, 
Created  but  this  hour,  all  innocence, 
The  spirit  still  brooding  o'er  the  realm  of  sense, 

And  all  the  future  given, 

In  the  expanding  heaven  ; 
Life  in  eternal  fulness  there  revealed, 
Which  time  in  fragments  joy  by  joy  must  yield  : 

All  present,  all  to  come, 
Contentment  ever  adding  to  its  sum. 

So  young  the  sky,  so  pure  the  air, 

As  if  indeed 

On  the  first  promise  we  did  feed 
With  the  unfallen  pair, 

Secure  of  immortality 

Awaiting  love ;  in  that  still  hour 
When  Adam  : — "  What  new  Wonder  of  the  light, 
What  Presence,  what  Dominion  comes  with  power 
My  peaceful  mind  with  beauty  to  affright?" 

And  a  voice  moves  from  tree  to  tree 
"Fond  soul,  'tis  only  I  who  come  to  thee."

TASSO   TO   LEONORA 


0  LEONORA  !   by  thy  side 
Where  the  world  may  be  defied, 
Joy  and  daring  seize  my  soul, 
And  beneath  thine  eyes'  control, 

1  begin  to  understand 

How  the  starry  heavens  were  planned. 

These  are  the  prodigalities 

Of  love  you  see  upon  the  skies, 

In  a  moment's  rapture  tost, 

In  their  own  profusion  lost, 

Lavished  with  a  sweeping  hand 

Which  no  power  can  countermand. 

'Tis  his  glory  and  his  right  : 

All  creation  comes  to  light 

By  this  impulse  to  a  gift, 

The  same  that  doth  the  heart  uplift. 

Heaven  is  not  far 
Nor  the  domain  of  Jove 
From  the  dilated  freedom  of  my  love. 

Oh  I  could  throw 
The  garland  on  thy  brow 

To  Ariadne's  star. 

II 

You  should  have  lived  in  the  olden  time 

When  life  was  offered  up, 
And  the  treasure  of  the  heart  with  praise 

Poured  in  a  golden  cup, 
79 


SONGS    AND    LYRICS 

With  quaint  designs  of  heroes  wrought, 
That  soon  was  filled  with  wine, 

And  to  each  bearded  warrior  brought 
Deftly  by  hands  like  thine. 

For  afterwards  they  held  a  feast, 

Were  merry  and  profane. 
That  such  good  customs  long  have  ceased 

You  justly  might  complain. 


Ill 

My  words  are  harsh  and  bitter ; 

They  will  not  long  be  so, 
A  little  more,  and  love  ashamed 

Will  lose  his  earnest  glow. 

'Tis  flood-time,  and  within  me 
Swells  the  old  love,  but  soon — 

E'en  now  I  feel  'tis  ebbing  fast 
Beneath  the  changeful  moon. 

I  am  sanguine  and  eager-hearted, 

I  could  pray  prayers  insane, 
On  starry  Leo  I  could  call 

To  shake  loose  his  tawny  mane 

In  fire  upon  this  city 

Where  such  devilry  is  planned : 
But  may  the  breath  that  pleads  with  thee 

Be  the  last  at  my  command.

ACHILLES  AND  PENTHESILEA 

"THIS  from  the  hand  of  a  girl  to  Achilles  superb!" 

As  the  words  fly, 

Rings  on  the  buckler  the  dart,    rings    and    re- 
bounds to  the  earth, 
Ere   she  is   ware  of   his  coming  his   sword  plays 

around  her,  she  falters, 
Wounded,  unhelmeted,  falls.    Pierced  with  her 

beauty  he  moans, 
"Wretch  that  I  am,  and  doomed  'to  disaster!  O 

Penthesilea 
Live ! "    But    with    each   hard    breath    ebbing, 

her  life  wells  forth. 

Heart-struck  he  as  a  woman  laments  still  kneel- 
ing beside  her ; 

Unmoved  she  as  a  man,  full  on  her  conqueror 
stares.

GENIUS   LOCI 

THE  lifting  and  the  light  fall  of  the  skiff, 
The  hending  of  the  grasses  leisurely, 
Near  the  old  pathway  of  the  crumbling  cliff 
To  the  same  breeze  that  used  to  wave  your  hair, 
More  with  the  genius  of  the  scene  agree 
And  the  old  charm  towards  which  I  vainly  reach, 
Than  splintered  rocks,  and  boulders  on  the  beach, 
Now  dwindled,  that  we  deemed  beyond  compare. 
The  spell  was  wholly  in  the  place  I  thought, 
Which  now  returns,  by  these  few  touches  wrought, 
With  the  old  power;  as  one  half  absently 
Over  a  viol  runs  a  careless  bow 
Grazing  the  strings,  and  yet  the  tune  we  know. 
There  is  the  moss  upon  the  broken  stair 
Deep-angled  in  the  wall  where  we  would  sit, 
Nor  spake  a  word  of  love,  but  joined  the  talk 
Of  pattering  leaf  and  whispering  wave,  as   they 
Would  join  in  ours  and  to  our  silence  play  ; 
Forth  of  a  sudden  would  the  martin  flit 
And  leave  the  ivy  twirling  on  the  stalk. 
The  charm  is  here  ;  the  softness  of  the  air, 
The  ruddy  tinge  upon  the  milky  sea, 
The  stillness  of  the  cloud,  are  parts  of  it; 
But  the  warm  sunlight  chills  me  to  the  bone 
As  I  sit  here,  as  I  look  forth,  alone.

WHY  HAST  THOU  CHANGED  AND 

DAEKENED 

Lago  di  Varese. 

WHY  hast  thou  changed  and  darkened 

When  all  was  late  so  clear, 
And  the  words  to  which  I  hearkened 

Made  the  light  of  day  more  dear? 

Thou  gavest  me  charm  and  token, 
And  a  promise  in  which  to  rest; 

But  in  the  wave  'tis  broken, 
And  by  the  wind  possessed. 

Oh  why  didst  thou  change  and  darken? 

Unlooked  for  power  was  thine, 
The  olive  bent  low  to  hearken, 

And  the  wild  rose  bent  from  the  vine  :- 


When  the  words  were  so  shyly  spoken 

That  set  all  doubt  at  rest; 
And  the  promise  so  lightly  broken 

Was  so  earnestly  expressed.

SONNET 

Now  thou  art  left  to  look  upon  the  time  ; 

Wishing  thou  had'st  not  given  thy  heart  such 

scope ; 
And  spelling  backward  love's  bewildering  rhyme, 

Wilt  pause  on  each  light  word  that  gave  thee 

hope ; 
And  many  an  old  occasion  wilt  review, 

Sifting  it  to  its  elements  again, 
Whence  some  faint  meaning  may  be  pressed  anew 

To  thy  advantage,  but  thou  toil'st  in  vain. 
As  one  that  moves  about  a  field  of  death 

And  holds  his  lantern  close  to  every  face, 
Questions  the  silent  heart,  and  for  a  breath 

Listens  intently,  loth  to  quit  the  place. 
So  wilt  thou  waste  the  night  in  search  forlorn, 

Till  beggared  time  brings  back  an  empty  morn.

WITHIN  AND   WITHOUT 

THE  boughs  clash,  and  the  leaves  like  sparks  fly 
round. 

Was  that  last  look  a  question  or  a  doubt? 
Shudders  the  wood,  the  thunder  jars  the  ground. 

Peaceful  thy  image  dwells  amid  the  rout. 

And  now  'tis  light.    How  pure  the  air,  how  sweet ! 

Thou  walkest  with  me  in  the  bending  grass, 
And  that  quick  look  which  is  my  life  I  meet 

In  every  pool  that  eyes  me  as  I  pass.

CONFESSION 

FLOWERS  unfading  night  is  braiding 

O'er  the  graves  of  men ; 
All-beholding  heaven  is  folding 

Valley,  grove  and  glen.

Peace  ?     What  sin  conf  est  ? 

Hush  thy  weeping,  child,  'tis  keeping 
Angels  from  their  rest.

THE  MILL 

GRIND,  O  Man, 
In  thy  invisible  mill, 

Unceasingly  grind 
To  powder  the  manifold  world. 

Art  thou  not  fashioned 

Of  old  for  this  labour, 

With  infinite  skill, 

Thus  to  manipulate 

Matter  for  mind  ? 
Behind  thee  all  fear 
And  humility  cast: 
Pause  not,  repent  not, 
Spare  not  for  worth, 
And  for  beauty  relent  not, 

Iconoclast. 


But  why  this  ridiculous 
Writhing  and  twisting, 
Through  failure  persisting 
In  futile  endeavour 
To  cast  yourself  in  with  the  rest 
And  be  ground,  yet  with  zest 
87

MAN 

O  FRIVOLOUS  querulous 
Voice  in  the  void, 
Unreal  petulant  Man, 
Whose  inanimate  soul 
Immortality  woos  ; 
Mobile  bubble  of  air, 
Motionless  clod  of  the  earth ; 
Eager  for  fellowship,  yet 
Self -idolatrous,  vain ; 
Unloving,  greedy  of  love ; 
Earnestly  praying  for  light, 
Yet  with  a  spirit  obtuse 
Intercepting  the  gift ; 
Sad  in  thy  impotence,  more 
Saddening  still  in  thy  mirth  ; 
Boastful  creator,  thyself 
Unformed,  coming  to  life ; 
Nearer  and  nearer  to  thee 
Must  the  Immortals  live, 
Yea,  at  thy  hearthstone   sit, 
Ere  thou  art  rightfully  Man.

URANIA 

I  ASK  not  you,  the  wise,  and  strong,  and  fair, 
To  leave  for  me  the  wealth  you  have  amassed, 
Knowledge,  or  fame,  or  happiness,  low-cast ; 

Too  settled  in  your  order  for  my  care ; 

But  with  the  poor  unprospered  folk  I  share 
The  bliss  of  my  contentment,  in  whose  eyes 
My  service  is  no  labour,  sacrifice 

They  know  but  as  a  gift  beyond  compare. 

These  will  attain  to  follow  where  I  move  : 
Willing  to  lose  the  world  and   be  complete : 
Able  to  turn  and  listen  and  yield  the  mind 

Obsequious  to  my  impulse,  as  a  dove 
Balancing  to  the  motion  of  the  wind, 
On  even  plumes,  in  correspondence  sweet.

THE  ceaseless  action  of  the  light  fire-spun 
Meets  the  desire  to  see,  and  Truth  is  won  ;

And  more  and  more  as  we  can  more  behold  ; 
For  this  the  powers  that  in  creation  lurk 
From  the  extremes  of  heaven  together  work.

THE   ARTIST 

PRIVATION,  like  an  artist  keen, 
Looks  far  for  beauty  arid  repose, 

And  shapes  with  humbleness  of  mien 

More  lovely  forms  than  Pleasure  knows  ; 

Imparting  to  each  high  design 

Some  new  humanity  divine. 

There  with  clear-thoughted  Justice  walks 
Forbearance  with  a  wounded  brow  ; 

There  to  his  bosom-friend  Love  talks 
Uranian  truth,  as  forth  they  go 

Distributing  life's  bread  and  wine, 

The  new  humanity  divine.

ADORATION   OF  THE   SHEPHERDS 


HAIL,  Thou  new  Almighty  Power 

Given  us  from  above  ! 
Born  of  woman,  earthly  flower, 

Breathing  peace  and  love ; 
With  our  cares  to  be  offended, 

Neath  our  clouds  to  rest, 
Where  the  poor  are  unbefriended 

And  the  weak  opprest. 
We,  Thy  shepherds,  bend  before  Thee, 
Ere  Thou  reignest  we  adore  Thee, 
Christ  the  Lord  !

On  Thy  lips  a  smile  is  telling 

Childhood's  holy  trust, 
As  if  still  Thou  had'st  Thy  dwelling 

With  the  pure  and  just. 
Ah !  Thy  tender  intercession, 

Lamb  of  God,  we  need  : 
At  Thy  feet  we  make  confession 

And  Thy  Name  we  plead. 
Christ,  the  new  Almighty  Power, 
Born  of  woman,  earthly  flower, 
Christ  the  Lord!

Of  good  will  repeat, 
Every  look  is  like  an  angel 

From  the  Mercy-Seat. 
We  Thy  shepherds  kneel  before  Thee, 
In  Thy  weakness  we  adore  Thee,

PROMISE  linking  age  to  age, 
King  to  prophet,  priest  to  sage, 
Till  one  morn  the  truth  is  told, 
From  the  tomb  the  stone  is  rolled, 
Christ  is  risen  ! 


Tree  of  life  with  golden  fruit, 
Whereof  all  the  past  is  root ! 
Every  soul  from  hour  to  hour 
Sits  within  thy  blissful  bower, 
Christ  is  risen  ! 


This  assurance  every  child, 
From  deep  heaven  benign  and  mild, 
With  each  hasty  fluttering  breath, 
Draws  into  the  house  of  death : 
Christ  is  risen  ! 


When  with  this  the  mind  is  filled, 
Care  is  soothed  and  trouble  stilled ; 
Every  morning  from  the  East 
Calls  all  nations  to  this  feast, 
Christ  is  risen  !

CUPID   AND   MELPOMENE 


LIKE  the  snow  from  Ida  drifting, 
Cupid  came,  an  arrow  lifting, 
Roved  abroad  and  flew  and  scampered, 
Airing  thus  his  humour  pampered. 

Skimmed  the  vales,  the  upland  breasted, 
Stoutly  with  the  wind  contested, 
Then  before  it  smoothly  scudded, 
Down  to  cities  temple-studded. 

Saw  the  waves  in  giddy  motion, 
Then  for  passage  through  the  ocean 
Called  the  steed  that   bore  Orion, 
With  a  Triton,  and  sea-lion 

For  companions,  made  a  pillow 
Of  a  gently  curving  billow ; 
Reached  the  rim  of  the  ^Egean  : 
Landed,  slept,  woke,  sang  a  paean. 


II 

"  There  it  looms  the  sacred  mountain ! 
With  its  song-exciting  fountain ! 
Through  the  forest  I  will  travel, 
Where  my  wits  I  can  unravel."

On  with  brow  sedate  he  marches, 
Under  curling  boughs  or  larches, 
"Here  to  rest  a  moment  hidden 
By  this  beech  is  not  forbidden." 

Woodlarks,  tits  and  finches  flocking, 
Find  the  bough  where  he  is  rocking, 
Sylvan  creatures  round  him  gather, 
Ruddy  fur,  and  motley  feather. 

Doves  upon  his  hand  alighting, 
Mavis,  magpie,  fluttering,  fighting, 
On  his  quiver  perch,  or  bolder, 
Hustling  balance  on  his  shoulder. 

As  he  looks  each  glance  discloses 
Arcades,  grottoes,  rills  and  roses ; 
Nymphs  and  Oreads,  roused  from  sleeping, 
From  behind  the  boles  are  peeping. 

"  Who  would  not  with  birds  together 
In  the  forest  trim  a  feather?" 
Cupid  cried,  "  How  cool  and  pleasant ! 
But  like  love,  'tis  evanescent." 


in 

Darkling  grew  the  wood  embowered, 
Silver  light  the  fountain  showered, 
Sat  a  maiden  by  the  waters, 
'Twas  the  pearl  of  Memory's  daughters. 

Quick  he  drew  a  reedy  arrow, 
Aiming  with  an  eyelid  narrow. 
With  a  long-drawn  note  she  charmed  him, 
Then  on  sudden  she  disarmed  him.

"  Listen,  child,  while  I  with  singing 
Back  to  life  the  dead  am  bringing." 
"  What !  the  dead  ?  "  the  boy  made  answer, 
"  Are  you  then  a  necromancer  ? 

Heed  not,  Muse,  my  sparks  and  sallies, 
Sing  to  mountains,  woods  and  valleys, 
Let  your  song  float  into  heaven 
And  wake  up  the  Pleiads  seven." 

Then  she  broke  in  gracious  story, 
Hymning  Fate  and  Kronos  hoary. 
Shook  the  leaves,  the  water  glistened, 
Cupid  rolled  his  eyes  and  listened.

Deepening  now  with  mellow  organ 
She  intoned  of  Demogorgon, 
And  the  Sisters  serpent-crested, 
With  the  threads  of  life  invested. 

And  of  Chaos  and  his  era, 
Battling  Titan,  wild  chimsera, 
Phorkyads,  and  the  moon-eyed  Sphinxes, 
Harpies  too,  and  other  minxes. 

Many  a  name  of  might  she  uttered, 
Cupid  pursed  his  lips  and  muttered, 
But  when  Nemesis  was  sounded 
Cupid  to  her  bosom  bounded. 

"  Dearest  Muse,  why  this  incessant 
Talk  of  Hades?     Life  is  pleasant, 
All  before  us,  love  and  laughter, 
Leave  to  Pluto  what  comes  after.

But  my  lips  I  know  are  truant, 
Yours  are  grave  as  they  are  fluent, 
If  a  kiss  they  would  but  favour, 
More  of  wisdom  mine  might  savour." 

But  or  ere  the  words  were  spoken 
She  had  given  the  faithful  token, 
Which  the  faithless  boy  receiving 
Gave  her  back,  his  spirit  leaving. 


Still  she  sang  but  in  such  fashion, 
Terror  melted  to  compassion, 
Many  a  word  with  tears  was  broken, 
Some  in  sighs  remained  unspoken. 

As  she  sang  the  fountain  glistened, 
Cupid  rolled  his  eyes  and  listened  ; 
"  Why,  the  very  ghosts,"  he  stammered, 
"  With  your  tales  would  be  enamoured. 

On  your  lips  so  grave  and   pious, 
That  with  virtue's  praise  would   try  us, 
How  engaging  is  love's  sadness, 
And  your  treatment  of  its  madness, 

How  heartrending  and  delightful ! 
And  your  jealousy  how  spiteful ! 
By  my  mother's  tresses  twisted, 
In  your  camp  I  am  enlisted. 

Here  I  vow  and  make  confession, 
You  alone  give  love  expression, 
What  are  songs  with  all  their  magic 
To  your  scenes  and  outcries  tragic? 
Dearest  Muse  Melpomene."

VIGIL 

WHEN  thou  art  driven  forth  in  the  night, 

While  the  happy  slumber  on, 
Thy  trouble  will  teach  thee  to  read  aright 

What  they  would  vainly  con. 

To  the  open  heaven  dost  thou  uplift 

Haggard,  inquiring  eyes? 
Thou  wilt  be  lost  in  time,  and  drift 

Under  Chaldsean  skies, 

Naming  the  stars,  for  thou  wert  there, 

So  far  the  beam  is  cast 
Of  thy  faint  consciousness,  aware 

Of  an  unsounded  past. 

Thyself  it  was  through  bliss  and  bane, 

With  the  same  mind  intent 
On  the  sequences  and  golden  chain 

Of  the  heavenly  argument ; 

Tenaciously  with  fixed  gaze 
While  aeons  round  thee  melt 
103 


SONGS    AND    LYRICS 

Widening  the  rings  of  time  and  space 
Wherein  thy  spirit  dwelt. 


Look  downward  if  thou  wilt,  but  soon 
Within  thine  ears  will  stay 

What  the  earth  mutters  to  the  moon 
Comparing  night  with  day  ; 

Action  with  thought ;  upon  this  clod 
To  make  our  footing  sure? 

Or  in  the  infinity  of  God 
Passive  to  rest  and  pure? 

Or  dost  thou  to  the  muffled  wood 

Carry  thy  little  world? 
A  song  will  come  to  ease  thy  mood 

Under  the  branches  curled. 


And  when  the  undistinguished  trees 

Come  forward  one  by  one, 
Out  of  the  night,  as  each  foresees 

The  advent  of  the  sun, 

Thou  wilt  learn  how  dear  thy  presence  is 

To  the  brood  of  mother  earth, 
One  who  can  share  their  morning  bliss, 

And  praise  their  beauty's  worth — 

A  spirit,  with  fluttering  thoughts  for  leaves. 

Who  knows  the  mystery 
Of  the  fellowship  which  each  receives 

And  gives  in  his  degree? 
104 


VIGIL 

The  wild  rose  in  the  wood  withdrawn 
Claims  thee  for  witness  true, 

How  on  her  petals  looks  the  dawn 
When  she  would  day  renew. 

"See,  see,  how  craftily  she  lays 

Her  tints  to  rival  mine, 
At  the  meeting-place,  the  crowning  grace, 
Where  red  and  white  combine."

CARRARA 


STONE-PINES  are  casting 

Faint  shadows,  pale  olives 
Flock  downward  to  meet  our  ascent, 

But  are  found,  when  around  us 
Their  branches  are  closing, 

On  solitude  bent, 
Shy,  nun-like,  aloof, 

Our  laughter  opposing 
With  silence  and  modest  reproof. 


Then  out  to  the  heather, 

Pinaster,  arbutus,  and  bay, 

By  the  hut  with  its  cypress 

Awaiting  the  day  ; 

Hills  rising  together, 

Enlarging  the  scene, 

Till  the  spears  of  the  larches 

Intervene : 

While  our  old  domain, 
Half-felt,  half-discerned 
Coast-line  and  crescent, 
And  woods  which  Autumn 
Has  touched,  not  burned, 
106 


CARRARA 

We  still  retain, 

Ideally  present 

As  part  of  the  scene  ; 

Drawing  breath  as  we  climb 

Of  sweet  basil  and  thyme. 


What  comes  to  me, 
Arid  holds  me  tranced  and  still, 
As  I  climb  the  yellowing  hill  ? 
Is  it  a  sense 
Of  community  intense, 
With  the  great  heart-beat 
Of  the  earth  beneath  my  feet, 
With  the  expectant  air, 
And  the  faintly-glimmering  sea? 
Or  is  it  some  wider 
Communion  that  fills 
My  vacant  soul, 
As  I  stand  withdrawn 
In  the  utter  stillness  of  dawn?    . 
/  hear  you,  I  come  ! 
How  shall  I  hold  it,  how  retain 
This  ineffable  strain 
That  to  music  belongs, 
And  holds  in  its  bosom 
A  thousand  songs? 


/  come,  I  come 

Up  through  the  pine  woods' 

Precipitous  stair, 

Whose  branches  are  closing 

All  vistas  fair,

SONGS    AND    LYRICS 

We  stumble ;    these  watch  us 
And  move  as  we  move, 
Like  a  disciplined  band 
Changing  formation 
By  word  of  command. 


With  a  glance  and  a  gleam 
And  outcries  wild 
Like  a  petulant  child 
Comes  a  thread  of  a  stream, 
Darting  vociferous 
Through  the  indifferent 
Silent  pines. 


Now  we  move  among  fragments 

Of  splintered  rock, 

Disjointed  and  sundered 

By  tempest-shock. 

Then  wedged  in  a  serpentine 

Narrowing  cleft, 

Overshadowed  and  groping 

From  right  to  left, 

Of  a  sudden  before  us 

The  cliffs  break  away ; — 

And  behold  the  white  mountain 

Ablaze  with  the  day ! 


A  long  dumb  stare! 
At  last  sensation 
Recovers  its  breath: 
"  How  great !  "  one  saith. 
Then  down  we  fare.

CARRARA 

What  now  of  the  strain 

That  held  you  tranced  and  still 

On  the  slope  of  the  yellowing  hill? 

And  within  you  burned 

Like  the  sense  of  love  returned? 

Has  it  vanished?     Nay,  nay, 

In  its  loss  it  will  stay ; 

To  the  Muse  it  belongs, 

And  holds  in  its  bosom 

A  thousand  songs.

BY  NIGHT 

BY  night  the  thorn  is  budding 

Tho'  in  the  moon's  cold  rays, 
By  night  the  tide  is  flooding 

Black  reefs,  and  twinkling  bays  ; 
A  ship  in  the  silent  harbour 

Glideth,  and  sails  are  furled, 
While  thou  in  balmy  darkness 

Art  innocent  of  the  world. 

There's  a  gleam  amid  the  grasses 

Of  a  rivulet  fugitive, 
And  a  touch  on  the  cloud  that  passes 

The  wit  of  the  day  to  give; 
In  the  poplar's  branch  is  tangled 

The  Serpent's  shining  fold, 
But  thou  art  all  forgetting, 

And  to  our  dreams  art  cold. 

Ivy-shadows  are  fretting 

Thy  window  fitfully, 
Stars  are  rising  and  setting, 

Without  a  glance  from  thee. 
I  have  come  by  copse  and  meadow 

To  breathe  thy  neighbourhood, 
But  thou  art  all  unwitting 

As  the  ringdove  in  the  wood.

BY    NIGHT 

Between  two  oaks  far-rooted 

A  king-fern  curls  to  sleep, 
I  saw  a  velvet-footed 

Forester  by  it  creep : 
The  night-jar  took  his  station 

And  the  wild  wisp  lit  his  torch, 
But  thou  art  self-enfolded 

Like  the  rose  upon  thy  porch. 


Does  thy  soul,  in  act  and  motion 

Unfettered,  now  dilate 
In  the  limitless  ocean 

Of  Being  uncreate  ? 
No  more  to  us  belonging, 

Touching  our  earth  no  more 
Than  with  its  rhythmic  breathing 

That  breaks  upon  our  shore. 


Or  art  thou  in  slumber  holding 

Firmly  to  thine  own  kind  ? 
But  like  an  artist  moulding 

Our  landscape  to  thy  mind? 
O  to  be  thy  companion 

Whether  on  wind  or  wave, 
Or  to  hold  a  torch  before  thee 

In  an  opalescent  cave ! 


'Tis  all  figure  and  feigning 

When  thou  hast  moved  away ; 

If  I  knew  where  thou  wert  reigning 

I  would  come  beneath  thy  sway.

And  the  blossoms  in  their  bowers, 

I  would  leave  the  Moon  and  Vega 
To  fulfil  their  ghostly  hours. 


With  thee  to  be  secluded 

In  a  realm  all  thine  and  mine, 
Where  never  sun  intruded 

Nor  star  had  leave  to  shine; 
Where  all  events  are  passing 

In  a  more  delicate  light 
Than  from  the  axle  darteth 

Of  the  Charioteer  in  flight. 


In  what  climate  should  I  meet  thee 

To  what  sea-board  should  I  fare  ? 
Must  I  take  wings  to  greet  thee 

As  swallows  touch  in  the  air? 
Dost  thou  see  Miranda  walking 

With  a  lute-governed  grace? 
Or  from  a  Nile-boat  landing 

Meet  Pharaoh  face  to  face? 


Art  thou  thyself  surprising 

By  some  peril  drawing  near  ? 
Or  some  Masque  art  thou  devising 

In  which  we  all  appear? 
Some  pomp  or  dream-procession 

More  ravishing  to  the  mind 
Then  e'er  the  Tuscan's  pencil 

For  the  black  Duke  designed?

Like  a  traveller  checked  and  foiled 
By  a  looped  and  linked  river

Thou  might'st  look  round  for  me, 
And  together  we  would  wander 

Till  the  river  found  the  sea.

LAW 

THE  abyss,  the  expanse,  the  zenith  of  Thy  power 
Thou  hidest,  that  we  be  not  stilled  with  awe, 
While  through  the  quiet  avenues  of  law 

Thou  lead'st  Thy  flock  in  order,  star  and  flower ; 

That  Reason,  more  concurrent  every  hour 

With  nature's  rhythmic  beat,  and  at  each  flaw 
Prompt  to  regain  the  measure,  may  withdraw 

From  rash  idolatry,  though  priest  may  lower. 


But  as  Religion  in  that  ancient  clan 

Freed  from  the  worship  of  inhuman  thrones, 

Stubbornly  in  its  ritual  proceeds, 
Nor  quits  the  symbol,  though  the  heavenly  Man 
Prefigured  to  a  full  deliverance  leads  ; 
So  Reason,  void  of  reason,  God  disowns.

DOUBT 

SHALL  doubt  be  silent  then  as  some  pretend  ? 
Nay,  sift  with  doubt  till  faith  and  light  agree, 
Spirits  are  ever  by  their  birthright  free  ; 

In  voluntary  homage  must  they  bend 

Who  to  Thy  temple,  Lord  of  truth,  ascend  ; 
For  lo  !  Thou  seekest  such  to  worship  Thee, 
Who  weigh  with  reason's  pure  integrity 

What  purports  to  be  thine,  lest  they  offend. 

But  without  Faith  shall  Reason  like  a  ghost 
Sigh  for  the  wholesome  body  of  the  truth 

Nor  be  appeased  till  in  blind  ways  uncouth 
Wide-wandering  she  is  found  and  freed  at  length, 
As  was  Alcestis  from  that  iron  coast, 
By  Hercules  rejoicing  in  his  strength.

THE   ADVENT 

His  awfulness  is  cast  upon  the  night, 
His  glory  on  the  threshold  of  the  morn, 
His  beauty  to  the  home  of  Truth  is  borne, 

His  joy  to  enrich  the  sorrowing  takes  flight ; 

And  narrowed  to  a  point  His  Godhead's  might 
Is  bare  and  pure  and  to  the  sense  forlorn, 
In  its  first  motions  seen,  a  child  new-born, 

Gently  assuming  power,  enforcing  right. 

He  walketh  with  the  outcast  by  the  way, 
With  every  new  oppression  He  is  wronged, 
And  all  the  overburdened  hear  His  sighs. 
O  majesty  of  heaven,  angel-thronged, 

Art  Thou  so  well  concealed  ?     Ah  !  rather  say 
This  is  Thyself,  and  all  but  this  disguise.

AT  night  He  seeks  the  mountain  solitude, 
Bringing  the  nature  He  has  made  His  own 
Under  the  eye  of  heaven  apart,  alone 

To  knowledge  of  its  true  beatitude, 

And  steeling  to  a  firm  and  constant  mood 

The  pensive  heart  of  man.     There  it  is  shown 
What  it  must  dare,  what  suffer,  how  atone 

For  false  delights,  and  triumph  in  all  good. 


Descending  then,  and  more  within  the  scene 
From  meditation's  trance,  He  looks  above, 

And  sees  the  sky  changing  at  morning-break, 
As  change  His  thoughts  from  holiness  to  love, 
Walking  beside  the  stillness  of  the  lake, 
And  in  His  eyes  the  heavens  are  not  clean.

IF  heart-beats  were  a  language  I  would  choose 
Some  names  for  thee,  but  now  I  must  be  dumb, 
For  to  thy  rightful  praise  I  cannot  come, 
With  words  that  are  devised  for  other  use, 
And  their  great  offers  I  must  still  refuse. 
Yea,  rather  bid  the  cloud-fed  Kedron  hum 
And  lisp  and  murmur  what  I  cannot  sum, 
Than  in  vain  titles  thy  dominion  lose  ; 
Whose  looks  are  judgments.     Day  and  Night  at- 
tend 

Thy  countenance,  my  King ;  as  thine  eyes  bend, 
Things    slighted    grow    most    dear ;      things 

dearly  prized, 

And  thoughts  familiar  to  the  soul  grow  strange, 
And  darkened  by  thy  presence  seem  to  change 
Their  aspect,  and  be  easily  despised.

A  promise  through  the  world  from  east  to  west ;

Whose  innocence  doth  holiness  enclose  ; 
A  child  who  in  his  breathings  of  repose 

Still  in  his  Father's  bosom  seems  to  rest ; 

A  youth  awaking  to  a  world  opprest 
Whose  patience  with  indignant  passion  glows  ; 
Till  perfect  Man  the  kingship  over  men 

Shall  claim  resistless  ;  but  no  king  discrown. 

Noiseless  the  passage  of  his  sovereignty 
Over  the  vacant  depths  of  thought,  as  when 

Beam  upon  beam  of  morning  trembles  down 
Between  two  islets  of  the  southern  sea.

Past  groaning  labour  bent  beneath  the  weight 
Of  the  world's  dainty  leisure  and  proud  state, 

He  passes,  step  by  step  through  dark  degrees  ; 

Past  fellowship,  past  succour,  past  release  ; 

To  that  low  ground  where  want  doth  meditate 
Darkly  of  God  and  man,  accepting  fate, 

Or  cursing  it,  where  judgments  never  cease 

That  are  for  others'  trespass  :  there  He  dwells  ; 
And  to  Religion  and  to  Virtue  tells 

The  truth  profane,  that  this  infected  air 

Is  the  miasma  of  their  righteousness, 

The  effluence  of  the  wisdom  they  profess, 
The  Amen  to  each  long  complacent  prayer.

Of  enmity  to  God,  by  One  alone 
Humanly  felt,  and  yet  divinely  known  ; 
Known  to  far-seeing  patience  infinite, 
But  in  His  low  estate  and  mortal  plight 

Breathed  and  embosomed  with  strong  sighs  of 

grief, 

Far-echoing  through  the  olive's  shuddering  leaf, 
In  the  affrighted  stillness  of  the  night. 
Still  downward  through  the  man-sours  vast  do- 
main, 
Wherein  no  line  or  limit  severeth 

God's  peace  from  sorrow's  gulf  profound,  he 

goes :

Within  this  shadow  immense  where  never  shone

Vast  concave  that  completes  the  sphere  divine  ? 

Ye  spirits  who  grow  more  sad  or  move  malign 
With  the  star-circuits,  He  whom  love  alone 
And  goodness  shorn  of  other  power  and  throne, 

Saved  not  from  woe,  visits  your  sad  confine. 

What  purposing,  our  servile  spirits  and  rude 
Perceive  not,  and  angelic  wit  may  miss, 

But  downward  as  on  earth  His  path  intends, 

By  eyes  of  death  encountered  and  pursued, 
Till  in  the  lowest  gloom  of  that  abyss

Afflict  Him  and  His  righteous  will  oppose, 
Then  must  His  Father's  spirit  all  earthly  foes, 
Fears,  longings,   loathings,   with  His  searching 

flame, 
Thrust  from  the  heart  to  keep  that  hour  from

Whose  shadow  o'er  the  silent  garden  grows, 
Though  in  the  stress  of  that  relentless  power 
The  life  drops  stain  His  brow,  'tis  for  that  hour  ; 
Lest  faulty  nature  should  the  mind  attaint, 
Lest  the  tormented  sense  amid  its  throes 
Possess  the  parched  lips  with  murmurs  faint,

Upon  the  hill,  at  eve,  or  morning  break, 
Or  by  the  Temple-Court :  to  be  held  fast 
Each  word,  each  scene,  each  vigil,  to  the  last ; 

Pondered,  recalled  and  treasured  for  His  sake. 


But  now  rejoice !     Nothing  can  more  offend 
The    Prince  of    Peace ;    Death's  arrow    on    the

Fell  harmless,  as  that  furious  javelin  hurled 
By  Saul  at  David — who  must  yet  be  king !

LOOK  not  for  dawn  ;  let  the  night  blot  the  scene 

Where  busy  murderous  men  the  Lord  pursued, 
Let  not  the  golden  morning  intervene, 

Flatter  their  thoughts,  and    give    them   hardi- 
hood. 
Darkness  the  judgment  of  the  Lord  recites, 

Let  there  be  no  more  day,  or  let  it  be 
A  deeper  gloom  between  the  starry  nights, 

Oh  that  I  heard  from  heaven  this  great  decree  ! 
"Let  the  earth  sit  in  shadow  of  this  deed, 

And  with  the  will  of  God  no  more  contend." 
What  solace  it  would  be  in  mourning  weed 

To  see  this  witness  borne,  and  wait  the  end 
Patient,  whether  it  be  for  hours  or  years 

Till  in  the  skies  our  Glory  reappears.

And  cruelty  to  mercy  be  allied, 

Losing  its  name  ;  what  glory  can  be  won 
From  shedding   innocent   blood    now    this    has 
run, 

And  from  red  earth  to  Heaven  so  loudly  cried  ? 

Each  must  recount  his  share  in  this  great  woe, 
If  you  would  still  be  boasters, — "  I  did  this  "- 
"I  that  "—"I  bore  false  witness  "— "  Say  you

There  is  no  circumstance  or  shift  of  chance 

But  thee  remembers  and  with  thee  doth  glance  ; 
Thou  with  the  texture  of  our  life  enwrought 
Remainest :  this  a  few  sad  hours  have  taught, 

And  the  slow  passage  of  one  day's  advance. 

Art  thou  not  present  now  within  the  scene? 

The  door  half  open  waits  for  thy  footfall, 
Strangers  we  welcome,  but  'tis  thee  we  mean  ; 

Thou  comest  with  the  sunbeam  on  the  wall,

For  there  the  children  stood  to  see  thee  pass.

Of  his  deep  doctrine  for  another's  need,

More  readily  than  sinless  angels  may, 

Who  look  from  sphere  to  sphere  with  burning 

eyes; 
But  one  that  is  forgiven,  though  else  unwise, 

Holds  the  pure  truth  hid  in  her  heart  alway. 


That  warden  of  the  beam,  proud  adamant, 

The  pearl  within  the  closed  teeth  of  the  shell 
Topaz  and  beryl  where  the  moonbeams  dwell, 
The  chrysolite  that  throws  sun-fire  aslant

Melts  in  that  double  beam  to  innocence.

Cassia  and  golden  balms  preservative, 
And  Indian  flowers  with  virtues  that  outlive 

Their  beauty  and  what  else  may  grace  confer 

On  the  last  rites  that  hands  can  minister. 
How  small  a  part  of  us  will  then  survive 
When  to  ourselves  we  dwindle,  and  derive 

No    strength   from    Thee    while    day   and    night 
recur ! 


Then  we  descend  into  the  world  again, 

To  hear  the  clamours  and  joint  turbulence 

Of  priestly  bigotry  and  Roman  power  ; 
With  petty  cares  dulling  the  soul  intense ; 
Daring  to  live  and  see  the  rose  in  bloom 
And   feel    the    sun,    while   Thou   art   in   the 
tomb.

SONNETS 


ii 

The  dove  coos  and  the  advent  of  the  day 

Touches  the  cloud  and  robs  the  moon  of  light, 
And  as  I  pause  upon  my  doubtful  way 

How  peacefully  the  dawn  puts  by  the  night, 
And  shows  the  half -budded  leaves  and  flowering 

grass 
As  though  no  change    had   jarred    the    world, 

but  lo ! 
Between  the  cross  and  sepulchure  I  pass, 

And    what    has    been,    and    what    must    be    I 

know. 
Ah,  foolish  hope  against  dread  certainty 

That  came  upon  me  in  the  hours  of  sleep  ! 
Still  looking  forth  for  what  can  never  be  ! 
The  day  may  wait,  the  night  may  watch  and 

weep, 

He  is  not  found  within  our  boundaries, 
No  nearer  can  he  come  than  stars  and  skies.

Ill 

"(TO  to  My  brethren." 

"Who  can  withhold  Him?      Who    can    bid  Him 
pause  ? 

Or  set  a  bound  where  He  intends  a  way? 

Or  the  advancement  of  His  Kingdom  stay  ? 
Who  to  Himself  the  whole  creation  draws 
And  bends  the  powers  of  ill  to  His  just  cause? 

O    ransomed    earth !      O    Spring    whose    glad 
array 

From  the  beginning  prophesied  this  day, 
Love's  miracles  are  now  our  only  laws !" 

So     Mary    triumphed,     and     sprang     along     the 

sward, 
Stooped  to  the  flower,  and  reached  up  to    the 

tree ; 
Then     as     wind-wafted     faced     that     group 

forlorn, 
Holding    the    white    branch    of    a    flowering 

thorn, 

And  breathless  as  the  joy  of  infancy, 
Stammered    the    rapture :      "I    have     seen    the 
Lord!"

THE  ANCESTOR 

A  Quarterly  Review  of  County  and 

Family  History,  Heraldry 

and  Antiquities 

EDITED  BY  OSWALD   BARRON,  F.S.A. 

Large  Super  Royal,  in  paper  boards 

with  numerous  Illustrations 

5*.  net  Quarterly 

"  Thoroughly  original  in  scope  and  style,  the  publishers 
are  to  be  congratulated  on  its  effective  appearance.  The 
Ancestor  intends  to  apply  the  spirit  of  a  new  and  conscientious 
criticism  to  the  revived  interest  in  genealogy  and  family 
history." — THE  ATHEN^UM. 

"  Such  a  new  departure  is  certainly  designed  to  fill  a  want 
which  has  long  been  felt,  and  the  names  of  its  contributors 
guarantee  the  accuracy  and  importance  of  its  contents." — 
THE  TIMES. 

"  Printed  in  old-faced  type,  and  neatly  bound  in  studious- 
looking  boards,  the  new  periodical  makes  a  very  handsome 
appearance.  The  pages  of  The  Ancestor  are  brightened  by 
portraits,  illustrations  of  old  armorial  glass,  and  so  on.  It  is 
edited  carefully  and  with  knowledge,  and  should  command 
popularity  among  the  large  number  of  readers  to  whom  it 
appeals." — THE  STANDARD. 

"  Clearly  printed  on  good  paper,  and  freely  and  excellently 
illustrated.  The  literary  contents  of  the  number  are  of 
solid  and  varied  interest.  Altogether  The  Ancestor  is  quite 
admirable  in  its  aims,  which  it  seems  determined  to  achieve 
in  scholarly  and  attractive  fashion." — THE  GLOBE. 

"The  promise  of  a  really  authoritative  periodical  of  English 
genealogy  and  family  history  will  be  received  with  general 
satisfaction.  This  is  given  us  in  the  announcement  of  'The 
Ancestor,  a  quarterly  to  be  edited  by  Mr.  Oswald  Barron  and 
published  by  Archibald  Constable  &  Co.,  London.  Mr. 
Barren's  unusual  knowledge  in  the  field  to  be  covered  is 
well  known  to  many  who  are  interested  in  it.  The  list  of 
contributors,  including  among  others  Sir  George  Sitwell,  Sir 
H.  Maxwell-Lyte,  Mr.  J.  Horace  Round,  and  Mr.  St.  John 
Hope,  besides  the  editor,  certainly  supports  the  promise  of 
accuracy  and  authority."— THE  NATION,  NEW  YORK.

Hit    JEnCjlteb,       New  Edition  in  prepara- 
tion. 

This  Miscellany  embodies  the  results  of  more  than  fifteen 
years'  persistent  search  after  the  rarest  and  most  valuable 
Tracts  and  Poems  in  our  Literature  that  are  not  generally 
known.  Only  one  copy  now  survives  of  the  original  edition  of 
many  of  these  Texts  ;  and  that  copy  is  often  not  to  be  found 
in  any  Public  Library. 

These  volumes  constitute  a  charming  Pleasure  Series  of 
English  Literature  ;  full  of  most  varied  and  graphic  Narra- 
tives, and  of  most  delightful  and  diversified  Poetry. 

But  a  much  higher  use  than  that  can  be  made  of  this  English 
Garner.  All  History  is  ultimately  based  upon  eye-witness 
testimony,  or  upon  written  documents.  This  Series  will  throw 
floods  of  light  upon  many  little-known  facts,  or  periods,  of 
England's  past  story. 

An  English  Garner  also  contains  many  hundreds  of  Poems, 
many  of  them  written  in  the  Golden  Age  of  English  Song. 
This  Poetry  represents  almost  every  conceivable  form  of  Eng- 
lish versification  ;  and  its  topics  range 

'  From  grave  to  gay,  from  lively  to  severe  ; ' 

or,  to  put  it  in  another  way,  from  Sir  J.  DAVIES'  poem  on  the 
'  Immortality  of  the  Soul,'  down  to  'Old  King  Cole.'
