+ +They are sadder than all tears; + Their lives ascend as a continual sigh. +Proudly answer to their tears: + As they deny, deny. + + +XX + +In the dark pine-wood + I would we lay, +In deep cool shadow + At noon of day. + +How sweet to lie there, + Sweet to kiss, +Where the great pine-forest + Enaisled is! + +Thy kiss descending + Sweeter were +With a soft tumult + Of thy hair. + +O, unto the pine-wood + At noon of day +Come with me now, + Sweet love, away. + + +XXI + +He who hath glory lost, nor hath + Found any soul to fellow his, +Among his foes in scorn and wrath + Holding to ancient nobleness, +That high unconsortable one— +His love is his companion. + + +XXII + +Of that so sweet imprisonment + My soul, dearest, is fain— +Soft arms that woo me to relent + And woo me to detain. +Ah, could they ever hold me there +Gladly were I a prisoner! + +Dearest, through interwoven arms + By love made tremulous, +That night allures me where alarms + Nowise may trouble us; +But sleep to dreamier sleep be wed +Where soul with soul lies prisoned. + + +XXIII + +This heart that flutters near my heart + My hope and all my riches is, +Unhappy when we draw apart + And happy between kiss and kiss; +My hope and all my riches—yes!— +And all my happiness. + +For there, as in some mossy nest + The wrens will divers treasures keep, +I laid those treasures I possessed + Ere that mine eyes had learned to weep. +Shall we not be as wise as they +Though love live but a day? + + +XXIV + +Silently she’s combing, + Combing her long hair, +Silently and graciously, + With many a pretty air. + +The sun is in the willow leaves + And on the dappled grass, +And still she’s combing her long hair + Before the looking-glass. + +I pray you, cease to comb out, + Comb out your long hair, +For I have heard of witchery + Under a pretty air, + +That makes as one thing to the lover + Staying and going hence, +All fair, with many a pretty air + And many a negligence. + + +XXV + +Lightly come or lightly go: + Though thy heart presage thee woe, +Vales and many a wasted sun, + Oread let thy laughter run +Till the irreverent mountain air +Ripple all thy flying hair. + +Lightly, lightly—ever so: + Clouds that wrap the vales below +At the hour of evenstar + Lowliest attendants are; +Love and laughter song-confessed +When the heart is heaviest. + + +XXVI + +Thou leanest to the shell of night, + Dear lady, a divining ear. +In that soft choiring of delight + What sound hath made thy heart to fear? +Seemed it of rivers rushing forth +From the grey deserts of the north? + + That mood of thine, O timorous, +Is his, if thou but scan it well, + Who a mad tale bequeaths to us +At ghosting hour conjurable— + And all for some strange name he read + In Purchas or in Holinshed. + + +XXVII + +Though I thy Mithridates were, + Framed to defy the poison-dart, +Yet must thou fold me unaware + To know the rapture of thy heart, +And I but render and confess +The malice of thy tenderness. + +For elegant and antique phrase, + Dearest, my lips wax all too wise; +Nor have I known a love whose praise + Our piping poets solemnize, +Neither a love where may not be +Ever so little falsity. + + +XXVIII + +Gentle lady, do not sing + Sad songs about the end of love; +Lay aside sadness and sing + How love that passes is enough. + +Sing about the long deep sleep + Of lovers that are dead, and how +In the grave all love shall sleep: + Love is aweary now. + + +XXIX + +Dear heart, why will you use me so? + Dear eyes that gently me upbraid, +Still are you beautiful—but O, + How is your beauty raimented! + +Through the clear mirror of your eyes, + Through the soft sigh of kiss to kiss, +Desolate winds assail with cries + The shadowy garden where love is. + +And soon shall love dissolved be + When over us the wild winds blow— +But you, dear love, too dear to me, + Alas! why will you use me so? + + +XXX + +Love came to us in time gone by + When one at twilight shyly played +And one in fear was standing nigh— + For Love at first is all afraid. + +We were grave lovers. Love is past + That had his sweet hours many a one; +Welcome to us now at the last + The ways that we shall go upon. + + +XXXI + +O, it was out by Donnycarney + When the bat flew from tree to tree +My love and I did walk together; + And sweet were the words she said to me. + +Along with us the summer wind + Went murmuring—O, happily!— +But softer than the breath of summer + Was the kiss she gave to me. + + +XXXII + +Rain has fallen all the day. + O come among the laden trees: +The leaves lie thick upon the way + Of memories. + +Staying a little by the way + Of memories shall we depart. +Come, my beloved, where I may + Speak to your heart. + + +XXXIII + +Now, O now, in this brown land + Where Love did so sweet music make +We two shall wander, hand in hand, + Forbearing for old friendship’ sake, +Nor grieve because our love was gay +Which now is ended in this way. + +A rogue in red and yellow dress + Is knocking, knocking at the tree; +And all around our loneliness + The wind is whistling merrily. +The leaves—they do not sigh at all +When the year takes them in the fall. + +Now, O now, we hear no more + The vilanelle and roundelay! +Yet will we kiss, sweetheart, before + We take sad leave at close of day. +Grieve not, sweetheart, for anything— +The year, the year is gathering. + + +XXXIV + +Sleep now, O sleep now, + O you unquiet heart! +A voice crying “Sleep now” + Is heard in my heart. + +The voice of the winter + Is heard at the door. +O sleep, for the winter + Is crying “Sleep no more.” + +My kiss will give peace now + And quiet to your heart— +Sleep on in peace now, + O you unquiet heart! + + +XXXV + +All day I hear the noise of waters + Making moan, +Sad as the sea-bird is, when going + Forth alone, +He hears the winds cry to the water’s + Monotone. + +The grey winds, the cold winds are blowing + Where I go. +I hear the noise of many waters + Far below. +All day, all night, I hear them flowing + To and fro. + + +XXXVI + +I hear an army charging upon the land, +And the thunder of horses plunging, foam about their knees: +Arrogant, in black armour, behind them stand, +Disdaining the reins, with fluttering whips, the charioteers. + +They cry unto the night their battle-name: +I moan in sleep when I hear afar their whirling laughter. +They cleave the gloom of dreams, a blinding flame, +Clanging, clanging upon the heart as upon an anvil. + +They come shaking in triumph their long, green hair: +They come out of the sea and run shouting by the shore. +My heart, have you no wisdom thus to despair? +My love, my love, my love, why have you left me alone? + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK CHAMBER MUSIC *** + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will +be renamed. + +Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright +law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, +so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the +United States without permission and without paying copyright +royalties.

Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541.

Email contact links and up +to date contact information can be found at the Foundation's website +and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without +widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND +DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular +state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To +donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project +Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be +freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and +distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of +volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in +the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not +necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper +edition. + +Most people start at our website which has the main PG search +facility: www.gutenberg.org + +This website includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + |
