-or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work with

-
-*1.F.1.* Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable

-Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the
-medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but
-not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription
-errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a
-defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer
-codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™
-
-
-Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
-including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
-because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
-people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals
-and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely
-available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and
-permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn
-more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how
-your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the
-Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org .
-
-
-Section 3. 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. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
-http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf . Contributions to the
-Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the
-full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.
-
-The Foundation’s principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr.
-S. Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
-throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at 809
-North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
-business@pglaf.org. Email contact links and up to date contact
-information can be found at the Foundation’s web site and official page
-at http://www.pglaf.org
-
-For additional contact information:
-
- Dr. Gregory B. Newby
- Chief Executive and Director
- gbnewby@pglaf.org
-
-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation
-
-
-Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread
-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 http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/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: http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
-
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic
-works.
-
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg™
-concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
-with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
-Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless
-a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks
-in compliance with any particular paper edition.
-
-Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook’s eBook
-number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
-compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
-
-Corrected _editions_ of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
-the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed.
-_Versions_ based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
-new filenames and etext numbers.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
-
- http://www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg™, 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.

- I. _IN THE NORTH._
-
-
- Come, let us go and be glad again together
- Where of old our eyes were opened and we knew that we were free!
- Come, for it is April, and her hands have loosed the tether
- That has bound for long her children.--who her children more
- than we?
-
- Hark! hear you not how the strong waters thunder
- Down through the alders with the word they have to bring?
- Even now they win the meadow and the withered turf is under,
- And, above, the willows quiver with foreknowledge of the spring.
-
- Yea, they come, and joy in coming: for the giant hills have sent
- them.--
- The hills that guard the portal where the South has built her
- throne:
- Unloitering their course is,--can wayside pools content them,
- Who were born where old pine forests for the sea forever moan?
-
- And they, behind the hills, where forever bloom the flowers,
- So they ever know the worship of the re-arisen Earth?
- Do their hands ever clasp such a happiness as ours,
- Now the waters foam about us and the grasses have their birth?
-
- Fair is their land,--yea fair beyond all dreaming,--
- With its sun upon the roses and its long summer day;
- Yet surely they must envy us our vision of the gleaming
- Of our lady's white throat as she comes her ancient way.
-
- For their year is never April--Oh what were Time without her!
- Yea, the drifted snows may cover us, yet shall we not complain:
- Knowing well our Lady April--all her raiment blown about her--
- Will return with many kisses for our unremembered pain!
-
-
-
-
- II. _A ROAD SONG IN MAY._
-
- O come! Is it not surely May?
- The year is at its poise today.
- Northward, I hear the distant beat
- Of Spring's irrevocable feet:
- Tomorrow June will have her way.
-
- O tawny waters, flecked with sun,
- Come: for your labours all are done.
- The grey snow fadeth from the hills;
- And toward the sound of waking mills
- Swing the brown rafts in, one by one.
-
- O bees among the willow-blooms,
- Forget your empty waxen rooms
- Awhile, and share our golden hours!
- Will they not come, the later flowers,
- With their old colours and perfumes?
-
- O wind that bloweth from the west,
- Is not this morning road the best?
- --Let us go hand in hand, as free
- And glad as little children be
- That follow some long-dreamed-of quest!
-
-
-
-
- III. _THE LANDSMAN._
-
- "It well may be just as you say,
- Will Carver, that your tales are true;
- Yet think what I must put away,
- Will Carver, if sail with you."
-
- "If you should sail with me (the wind
- Is west, the tide's at full, my men!)
- The things that you have left behind
- Will be as nothing to you then."
-
- "Inland, it's June! And birds sing
- Among the wooded hills, I know;
- Between green fields, unhastening,
- The Nashwaak's shadowed waters flow.
-
- "What know you of such things as these
- Who have the grey sea at your door,--
- Whose path is as the strong winds please
- Beyond this narrow strip of shore?"
-
- "_Your_ fields and woods! Now, answer me:
- Up what green path have your feet run
- So wide as mine, when the deep sea
- Lies all-uncovered to the sun?
-
- And down the hollows of what hills
- Have you gone--half so glad of heart
- As you shall be when our sail fills
- And the great waves ride far apart?"
-
- "O! half your life is good to live,
- Will Carver; yet, if I should go,
- What are the things that you can give
- Lest I regret the things I know!
-
- "Lest I desire the old life's way?
- The noises of the crowded town?
- The busy streets, where, night and day,
- The traffickers go up and down?"
-
- "What can I give for these? Alas,
- That all unchanged your path must be!
- Strange lights shall open as we pass
- And alien wakes traverse the sea;
-
- "Your ears shall hear (across your sleep)
- New hails, remote, disquieted,
- For not a hand-breadth of the deep
- But has to soothe some restless dead.
-
- "These things shall be. And other things,
- I think, not quite so sad as these!
- --Know you the song the rigging sings
- When up the opal-tinted seas
-
- "The slow south-wind comes amorously?
- The sudden gleam of some far sail
- Going the same glad way as we,
- Hastily, lest the good wind fail?
-
- "The dreams that come (so strange, so fair!)
- When all your world lies well within
- The moving magic circle where
- The sea ends and the skies begin?"......
-
- ......"What port is that, so far astern,
- Will Carver? And how many miles
- Shall we have run ere the tide turn?
- --And is it far to the farthest isles?"
-
-
-
-
- IV. _THE GHOST._
-
- Just where the field becomes the wood
- I thought I saw again
- Her old remembered face--made grey
- As it had known the rain.
-
- The trees grow thickly there; no place
- Has half so many trees;
- And hunted things elude one there
- Like ancient memories.
-
- The path itself is hard to find,
- And slopes up suddenly;
- --In the old days it was a path
- None knew so well as we.
-
- The path slopes upward, till it leaves
- The great trees far behind;
- --I met her once where the slender birch
- Grow up to meet the wind.
-
- Where the poplars quiver endlessly
- And the falling leaves are grey,
- I saw her come, and I was glad
- That she had learned the way.
-
- She paused a moment where the path
- Grew sunlighted and broad;
- Within her hair slept all the gold
- Of all the golden-rod.
-
- And then the wood closed in on her.
- And my hand found her hand;
- She had no words to say, yet I
- Was quick to understand.
-
- I dared to look in her two eyes;
- They too, I thought, were grey:
- But no sun shone, and all around
- Great, quiet shadows lay.
-
- Yet, as I looked, I surely knew
- That they knew nought of tears,--
- But this was very long ago,
- --A year, perhaps ten years.
-
- All this was long ago. Today,
- Her hand met not with mine;
- And where the pathway widened out
- I saw no gold hair shine.
-
- I had a weary, fruitless search,
- --I think that her wan face
- Was but the face of one asleep
- Who dreams she knew this place.
-
-

- V. _A SONG IN AUGUST._
-
- O gold is the West and gold the river-waters
- Washing past the sides of my yellow birch canoe,
- Gold are the great drops that fall from my paddle,
- The far-off hills cry a golden word of you.
-
- I can almost see you! Where its own shadow
- Creeps down the hill's side, gradual and slow.
- There you stand waiting; the goldenrod and thistle
- Glad of you beside them--the fairest thing they know.
-
- Down the worn foot-path, the tufted pines behind you,
- Grey sheep between,--unfrightened as you pass;
- Swift through the sun-glow, I to my loved one
- Come, striving hard against the long trailing grass.
-
- Soon shall I ground on the shining gravel-reaches:
- Through the thick alders you will break your way:
- Then your hand in mine, and our path is on the waters,--
- For us the long shadows and the end of day.
-
- Whither shall we go? See, over to the westward,
- An hour of precious gold standeth still for you and me;
- Still gleams the grain, all yellow on the uplands;
- West is it, or East, O Love that you would be?
-
- West now, or East? For, underneath the moonrise,
- Also it is fair; and where the reeds are tall,
- And the only little noise is the sound of quiet waters,
- Heavy, like the rain, we shall hear the duck-oats fall.
-
- And perhaps we shall see, rising slowly from the driftwood,
- A lone crane go over to its inland nest:
- Or a dark line of ducks will come in across the islands
- And sail overhead to the marshes of the west.
-
- Now a little wind rises up for our returning;
- Silver grows the East as the West grows grey;
- Shadows on the waters, shaded are the meadows,
- The firs on the hillside--naught so dark as they.
-
- Yet we have known the light!--Was ever such an August?
- Your hand leave mine; and the new stars gleam
- As we separately go to our dreams of opened heaven,--
- The golden dawn shall tell you that you did not dream.
-
-
-
-
- VI. _TO AUTUMN._
-
- How shall I greet thee, Autumn? with loud praise
- And joyous song and wild, tumultuous laughter?
- Or unrestrained tears?
- Shall I behold only the scarlet haze
- Of these thy days
- That come to crown this best of all the years?
- Or shall I hear, even now, those sad hours chime--
- Those unborn hours that surely follow after
- The shedding of thy last-relinquished leaf--
- Till I, too, learn the strength and change of time
- Who am made one with grief?
-
- For now thou comest not as thou of old
- Wast wont to come; and now mine old desire
- Is sated not at all
- With sunset-visions of thy splendid gold
- Or fold on fold
- Of the stained clouds thou hast for coronal.
- Still all these ways and things are thine, and still
- Before thine altar burneth the ancient fire;
- The blackness of the pines is still the same,
- And the same peace broodeth behind the hill
- Where the old maples flame.
-
- I, counting these, behold no change; and yet,
- To-day, I deem, they know not me for lover,
- Nor live because of me.
- And yesterday, was it not thou I met,
- Thy warm lips wet
- And purpled with wild grapes crushed wantonly,
- And yellow wind-swept wheat bound round thy hair,
- Thy brawn breast half set free and half draped over
- With long green leaves of corn? Was it not thou,
- Thy feet unsandaled, and thy shoulders bare
- As the gleaned fields are now?
-
- Yea, Autumn, it was thou, and glad was I
- To meet thee and caress thee for an hour
- And fancy I was thine;
- For then I had not learned all things must die
- Under the sky,--
- That everywhere (a flaw in the design!)
- Decay crept in, unquickening the mass,--
- Creed, empire, man-at-arms, or stone, or flower.
- In my unwisdom then, I had not read
- The message writ across Earth's face, alas,
- But scanned the sun instead.
-
- For all men sow; and then it happeneth--
- When harvest time is come, and thou are season--
- Each goeth forth to reap.
- "This cometh unto him" (perchance one saith)
- "Who laboreth:
- This is my wage: I will lie down and sleep."--
- He maketh no oblation unto Earth.
- Another, in his heart divine unreason,
- Seeing his fields lie barren in the sun,
- Crieth, "O fool! Behold the little worth
- Of that thy toil hath won!"
-
- And so one sleepeth, dreaming of no prayer;
- And so one lieth sleepless, till thou comest
- To bid his cursing cease;
- Then, in his dreams, envieth the other's share.
- Whilst, otherwhere,
- Thou showest still thy perfect face of peace,
- O Autumn, unto men of alien lands!
- Along their paths a little while thou roamest.
- A little while they deem thee queenliest,
- And good the laying-on of thy warm hands,--
- And then, they, too, would rest.
-
- They, too, would only rest, forgetting thee!
- But I, who am grown the wiser for thy loving,
- Never may thee deny!
- And when the last child hath forsaken me,
- And quietly
- Men go about the house wherein I lie,
- I shall lie glad, feeling across my face
- Thy damp and clinging hair, and thy hands moving
- To find my wasted hands that wait for thine
- Beneath white cloths; and, for one whisper's space,
- Autumn, thy lips on mine!
-
-
-
-
- VII. _THREE GREY DAYS._
-
- If she would come, now, and say, _What will you Lover?_--
- She who has the fairest gifts of all the earth to give--
- Think you I should ask some tremendous thing to prove her,
- Her life, say, and all her love, so long as she might live?
- Should I touch her hair? her hands? her garments, even?
- Nay! for such rewards the gods their own good time have set!
- Once, these were _all_ mine: the least, poor one was heaven:
- Now, lest she remember, I pray that she forget.
-
- Merely should I ask--ah! she would not refuse them
- Who still seems very kind when I meet with her in dreams--
- Only three of our old days, and--should she help to choose them
- Would the first not be in April, beside the sudden
- streams?......
- Once, upon a morning, up the path that we had taken,
- We saw Spring come where the willow-buds are grey;
- Heard the high hills, as with tread of armies, shaken;
- Felt the strong sun--O, the glory of that day!
-
- And then--what? one afternoon of quiet summer weather
- O, woodlands and meadow-lands along the blue St. John,
- My birch finds a path--though your rafts lie close together--
- Then O! what starry miles before the grey o' the dawn!........
- I have met the new day, among the misty islands,
- Come with whine of saw-mills and whirr of hidden wings,
- Gleam of dewy cobwebs, smell of grassy highlands.--
- Ah! the blood grows young again thinking of these things.
-
- Then, last and best of all! Though all else were found hollow
- Would Time not send a little space, before the Autumn's close,
- And lead us up the road--the old road we used to follow
- Among the sunset hills till the Hunter's Moon arise?......
- Then, Home through the poplar-wood! damp across our faces
- The grey leaves that fall, the moths that flutter by:
- Yea! this for me, now, of all old hours and places,
- To keep when I am dead, Time, until she come to die.
-
-
-
-
- VIII. _THE WATCH._
-
- Are those her feet at last upon the stair?
- Her trailing garments echoing there?
- The falling of her hair?
-
- About a year ago I heard her come,
- Thus; as a child recalling some
- Vague memories of home.
-
- O how the firelight blinded her dear eyes!
- I saw them open, and grow wise:
- No questions, no replies.
-
- And now, tonight, comes the same sound of rain.
- The wet boughs reach against the pane
- In the same way, again.
-
- In the old way I hear the moaning wind
- Hunt the dead leaves it cannot find,--
- Blind as the stars are blind.
-
- --She may come in at midnight, tired and wan,
- Yet,--what if once again at dawn
- I wake to find her gone?
-
-
-
-
- IX. _THE SEEKERS._
-
- Is it very long ago things were as they are
- Now? or was it ever? or is it to be?
- Was it up this road we came, glad the end was far?
- Taking comfort each of each, singing cheerily?
-
- O, the way was good to tread! Up hill and down;
- Past the quiet forestlands, by the grassy plains;
- Here a stony wilderness, there an ancient town,
- Now the high sun over us, now the driving rains.
-
- Strange and evil things we met--but what cared we,
- Strong men and unafraid, ripe for any chance?
- Battles by the countless score, red blood running free--
- Soon we learned that all of these were our inheritance.
-
- Some of us there were that fell: what was that to us?
- They were weak--we were strong--health we held to yet:
- Pleasant graves we digged them, we the valorous,--
- Then to the road again, striving to forget.
-
- Once again upon the road! The seasons passed us by--
- Blood-root and mayflowers, grasses straight and tall,
- Scarlet banners on the hills, snowdrifts white and high,--
- One by one we lived them through, giving thanks for all.
-
- O, the countries that we found in our wandering!
- Wide seas without a sail, islands fringed with foam,
- Undiscovered till we came, waiting for their king,--
- We might tarry but a while, far away from home.
-
- Far away the home we sought,--soon we must be gone;
- The old road, the old days, still we clung to those;
- The dawn came, the noon came, the dusk came, the dawn--
- Still we kept upon this path long ago we chose.
-
- * * * * *
-
- Was it up this road we came, glad the end was far,
- Yesterday,--last year--a million years ago?
- Surely it was morning then: now, the twilight star
- Hangs above the hidden hills--white and very low.
-
- Quietly the Earth takes on the hush of things asleep;
- All the silence of the birds stills the moveless air;
- --Yet we must not falter now, though the way be steep;
- Just beyond the turn o' the road,--surely Peace is thee!
-
-
-
-
- X. _FELLOWSHIP_.
-
- 1.
-
- At last we reached the pointed firs
- And rested for a little while;
- The light of home was in her smile
- And my cold hand grew warm as her's.
-
- Behind, across the level snow,
- We saw the half-moon touch the hill
- Where we had felt the sunset; still
- Our feet had many miles to go.
-
- And now, new little stars were born
- In the dark hollows of the sky:--
- Perhaps (she said) lest we should die
- Of weariness before the morn.
-
-
- 2.
-
- Once, when the year stood still at June,
- At even we had tarried there
- Till Dusk came in--her noiseless hair
- Trailing along a pathway strewn
-
- With broken cones and year-old things,
- But now, tonight, it seemed that She
- Therein abode continually,
- With weighted feet and folded wings,
-
- And so we lingered not for dawn
- To mark the edges of out path;
- But with such home a blind man hath
- At midnight, we went groping on.
-
- --I do not know how many firs
- We stumbled past in that still wood:
- Only I know that once we stood
- Together there--my lips on her's.
-
-
- 3.
-
- Between the midnight and the dawn
- We came out on the farther side;
- --What if the wood _was_ dark and wide?
- Its shadows now here far withdrawn,
-
- And O the white stars in the sky!
- And O the glitter of the snow!--
- Henceforth we know our feet should know
- Fair ways to travel--she and I--
-
- For One--Whose shadow is the Night--
- Unwound them where the Great Bear swung
- And wide across the darkness flung
- The ribbons of the Northern Light.
-
-
-
-
- XI. _THE LODGER._
-
- What! and do you find it good,
- Sitting here alone with me?
- Hark! the wind goes through the wood
- And the snow drifts heavily,
-
- When the morning brings the light
- How know I you will not say,
- "What a storm there fell last night,
- Is the next inn far away?"
-
- How know I you do not dream
- Of some country where the grass
- Grows up tall around the gleam
- Of the milestones you must pass?
-
- Even now perhaps you tell
- (While your hands play through my hair)
- Every hill, each hidden well,
- All the pleasant valleys there,
-
- That before a clear moon shines
- You will be with them again!
- --Hear the booming of the pines
- And the sleet against the pane.
-
-
- 2.
-
- Wake, and look upon the sun,
- I awoke an hour ago,
- When the night was hardly done
- And still fell a little snow,
-
- Since the hill-tops touched the light
- Many things have my hands made,
- Just that you should think them right
- And be glad that you have stayed.
-
- --How I worked the while you slept!
- Scarcely did I dare to sing!
- All my soul a silence kept--
- Fearing your awakening.
-
- Now, indeed, I do not care
- If you wake; for now the sun
- Makes the least of all things fair
- That my poor two hands have done.
-
-
- 3.
-
- No, it is not hard to find.
- You will know it by the hills--
- Seven--sloping up behind;
- By the soft perfume that fills
-
- (O, the red, red roses there!)
- Full the narrow path thereto:
- By the dark pine-forest where
- Such a little wind breathes through;
-
- By the way the bend o' the stream
- Takes the peace that twilight brings:
- By the sunset, and the gleam
- Of uncounted swallows' wings.
-
- --No, indeed, I have not been
- There: but such dreams I have had!
- And, when I grow old, the green
- Leaves will hide me, too, made glad.
-
- Yes, you must go now, I know.
- You are sure you understand?
- --How I wish that I could go
- Now, and lead you by the hand.
-
-
-
-
- XII. _MARCH WIND._
-
- High above the trees, swinging in across the hills,
- There's a wide cloud, ominous and slow;
- And the wind that rushes over sends the little stars to cover
- And the wavering shadows fade along the snow.
- Surely on my window (Hark the tumult of the night!)
- That's a first, fitful drop of scanty rain;
- And the hillside wakes and quivers with the strength of newborn
- rivers
- Come to make our Northland glad and free again.
-
- O remember how the snow fell the long winter through!
- Was it yesterday I tied your snowshoes on?
- All my soul grew wild with yearning for the sight of you
- returning
- But I waited all those hours that you were gone,
- For I watched you from our window through the blurring flakes
- that fell
- Till you gained the quiet wood, and then I knew
- (When our pathways lay together how we revelled in such
- weather!)
- That the ancient things I loved would comfort you.
-
- Now I knew that you would tarry in the shadow of the firs
- And remember many winters overpast:
- All the hidden signs I found you of the hiding life around you,
- Sleeping patient till the year should wake at last.
- Here a tuft of fern underneath the rounded drift:
- A rock, there, behind a covered spring;
- And here, nowhither tending, tracks beginning not nor ending,--
- Was it bird or shy four-footed furry thing?
-
- And remember how we followed down the woodman's winding trail!
- By the axe-strokes ringing louder, one by one,
- Well we knew that we were nearing now the edges of the
- clearing,--
- O the gleam of chips all yellow in the sun!
- But the twilight fell about us as we watched him at his work;
- And in the south a sudden moon, hung low,
- Beckoned us beyond the shadows--down the hill--across the
- meadows
- Where our little house loomed dark against the snow.
-
- And that night, too--remember?--outside our quiet house,
- Just before the dawn we heard the moaning wind:
- Only then its wings were weighted with the storm itself created
- And it hid the very things it came to find.
- In the morn, when we arose, and looked out across the fields,
- (Hark the branches! how they shatter overhead!)
- Seemed it not that Time was sleeping, and the whole wide world
- was keeping
- All the silence of the Houses of the dead?
-
- Ah, but that was long ago! And tonight the wind foretells
- (Hark, above the wind, the little laughing rills!)
- Earth's forgetfulness of sorrow when the dawn shall break
- tomorrow
- And lead me to the bases of the hills:
- To the low southern hills where of old we used to go--
- (Hark the rumour of ten thousand ancient Springs!)
- O my love, to thy dark quiet--far beyond our North's mad riot--
- Do thy new Gods bring remembrance of such things?

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg(tm)
-
-
-Project Gutenberg(tm) is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
-including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
-because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
-people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg(tm)'s
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg(tm) collection will remain
-freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and
-permanent future for Project Gutenberg(tm) and future generations. To
-learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and
-how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the
-Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org .
-
-
-Section 3. 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. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
-http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf . Contributions to the
-Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the
-full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
-
-The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr.
-S. Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
-throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at 809
-North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
-business@pglaf.org. Email contact links and up to date contact
-information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official page
-at http://www.pglaf.org
-
-For additional contact information:

-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation
-
-
-Project Gutenberg(tm) depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread 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 http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/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: http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
-
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg(tm) electronic
-works.
-
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg(tm)
-concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
-with anyone. For thirty 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 Public Domain in the U.S. unless
-a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks
-in compliance with any particular paper edition.
-
-Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's eBook
-number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
-compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
-
-Corrected _editions_ of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
-the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed.
-_Versions_ based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
-new filenames and etext numbers.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
-
- http://www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site 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.

-<p class="pfirst"><span>Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread
-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.</span></p>
-<p class="pnext"><span>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 </span><a class="reference external" href="http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate">http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate</a></p>

-approach us with offers to donate.</span></p>

- | Come, let us go and be glad again together
- | Where of old our eyes were opened and we knew that we were free!
- | Come, for it is April, and her hands have loosed the tether
- | That has bound for long her children.—who her children more than we?
-
- | Hark! hear you not how the strong waters thunder
- | Down through the alders with the word they have to bring?
- | Even now they win the meadow and the withered turf is under,
- | And, above, the willows quiver with foreknowledge of the spring.
-
- | Yea, they come, and joy in coming: for the giant hills have sent them.—
- | The hills that guard the portal where the South has built her throne:
- | Unloitering their course is,—can wayside pools content them,
- | Who were born where old pine forests for the sea forever moan?
-
- | And they, behind the hills, where forever bloom the flowers,
- | So they ever know the worship of the re-arisen Earth?
- | Do their hands ever clasp such a happiness as ours,
- | Now the waters foam about us and the grasses have their birth?
-
- | Fair is their land,—yea fair beyond all dreaming,—
- | With its sun upon the roses and its long summer day;
- | Yet surely they must envy us our vision of the gleaming
- | Of our lady's white throat as she comes her ancient way.
-
- | For their year is never April—Oh what were Time without her!
- | Yea, the drifted snows may cover us, yet shall we not complain:
- | Knowing well our Lady April—all her raiment blown about her—
- | Will return with many kisses for our unremembered pain!

- | Northward, I hear the distant beat
- | Of Spring's irrevocable feet:
- | Tomorrow June will have her way.
-
- | O tawny waters, flecked with sun,
- | Come: for your labours all are done.
- | The grey snow fadeth from the hills;
- | And toward the sound of waking mills
- | Swing the brown rafts in, one by one.
-
- | O bees among the willow-blooms,
- | Forget your empty waxen rooms
- | Awhile, and share our golden hours!
- | Will they not come, the later flowers,
- | With their old colours and perfumes?
-
- | O wind that bloweth from the west,
- | Is not this morning road the best?
- | —Let us go hand in hand, as free
- | And glad as little children be
- | That follow some long-dreamed-of quest!

- | "It well may be just as you say,

- | Yet think what I must put away,
- | Will Carver, if sail with you."
-
- | "If you should sail with me (the wind
- | Is west, the tide's at full, my men!)
- | The things that you have left behind
- | Will be as nothing to you then."
-
- | "Inland, it's June! And birds sing
- | Among the wooded hills, I know;
- | Between green fields, unhastening,
- | The Nashwaak's shadowed waters flow.
-
- | "What know you of such things as these
- | Who have the grey sea at your door,—
- | Whose path is as the strong winds please
- | Beyond this narrow strip of shore?"
-
- | "*Your* fields and woods! Now, answer me:
- | Up what green path have your feet run
- | So wide as mine, when the deep sea
- | Lies all-uncovered to the sun?
-
- | And down the hollows of what hills
- | Have you gone—half so glad of heart
- | As you shall be when our sail fills
- | And the great waves ride far apart?"
-
- | "O! half your life is good to live,
- | Will Carver; yet, if I should go,
- | What are the things that you can give
- | Lest I regret the things I know!
-
- | "Lest I desire the old life's way?
- | The noises of the crowded town?
- | The busy streets, where, night and day,
- | The traffickers go up and down?"
-
- | "What can I give for these? Alas,
- | That all unchanged your path must be!
- | Strange lights shall open as we pass
- | And alien wakes traverse the sea;
-
- | "Your ears shall hear (across your sleep)
- | New hails, remote, disquieted,
- | For not a hand-breadth of the deep
- | But has to soothe some restless dead.
-
- | "These things shall be. And other things,
- | I think, not quite so sad as these!
- | —Know you the song the rigging sings
- | When up the opal-tinted seas
-
- | "The slow south-wind comes amorously?
- | The sudden gleam of some far sail
- | Going the same glad way as we,
- | Hastily, lest the good wind fail?
-
- | "The dreams that come (so strange, so fair!)
- | When all your world lies well within
- | The moving magic circle where
- | The sea ends and the skies begin?"......
-
- | ......"What port is that, so far astern,
- | Will Carver? And how many miles
- | Shall we have run ere the tide turn?
- | —And is it far to the farthest isles?"

- | Just where the field becomes the wood
- | I thought I saw again
- | Her old remembered face—made grey
- | As it had known the rain.
-
- | The trees grow thickly there; no place
- | Has half so many trees;
- | And hunted things elude one there
- | Like ancient memories.
-
- | The path itself is hard to find,
- | And slopes up suddenly;
- | —In the old days it was a path
- | None knew so well as we.
-
- | The path slopes upward, till it leaves
- | The great trees far behind;
- | —I met her once where the slender birch
- | Grow up to meet the wind.
-
- | Where the poplars quiver endlessly
- | And the falling leaves are grey,
- | I saw her come, and I was glad
- | That she had learned the way.
-
- | She paused a moment where the path
- | Grew sunlighted and broad;
- | Within her hair slept all the gold
- | Of all the golden-rod.
-
- | And then the wood closed in on her.
- | And my hand found her hand;
- | She had no words to say, yet I
- | Was quick to understand.
-
- | I dared to look in her two eyes;
- | They too, I thought, were grey:
- | But no sun shone, and all around
- | Great, quiet shadows lay.
-
- | Yet, as I looked, I surely knew
- | That they knew nought of tears,—
- | But this was very long ago,
- | —A year, perhaps ten years.
-
- | All this was long ago. Today,
- | Her hand met not with mine;
- | And where the pathway widened out
- | I saw no gold hair shine.
-
- | I had a weary, fruitless search,
- | —I think that her wan face
- | Was but the face of one asleep
- | Who dreams she knew this place.

-
- | O gold is the West and gold the river-waters
- | Washing past the sides of my yellow birch canoe,
- | Gold are the great drops that fall from my paddle,
- | The far-off hills cry a golden word of you.
-
- | I can almost see you! Where its own shadow
- | Creeps down the hill's side, gradual and slow.
- | There you stand waiting; the goldenrod and thistle
- | Glad of you beside them—the fairest thing they know.
-
- | Down the worn foot-path, the tufted pines behind you,
- | Grey sheep between,—unfrightened as you pass;
- | Swift through the sun-glow, I to my loved one
- | Come, striving hard against the long trailing grass.
-
- | Soon shall I ground on the shining gravel-reaches:
- | Through the thick alders you will break your way:
- | Then your hand in mine, and our path is on the waters,—
- | For us the long shadows and the end of day.
-
- | Whither shall we go? See, over to the westward,
- | An hour of precious gold standeth still for you and me;
- | Still gleams the grain, all yellow on the uplands;
- | West is it, or East, O Love that you would be?
-
- | West now, or East? For, underneath the moonrise,
- | Also it is fair; and where the reeds are tall,
- | And the only little noise is the sound of quiet waters,
- | Heavy, like the rain, we shall hear the duck-oats fall.
-
- | And perhaps we shall see, rising slowly from the driftwood,
- | A lone crane go over to its inland nest:
- | Or a dark line of ducks will come in across the islands
- | And sail overhead to the marshes of the west.
-
- | Now a little wind rises up for our returning;
- | Silver grows the East as the West grows grey;
- | Shadows on the waters, shaded are the meadows,
- | The firs on the hillside—naught so dark as they.
-
- | Yet we have known the light!—Was ever such an August?
- | Your hand leave mine; and the new stars gleam
- | As we separately go to our dreams of opened heaven,—
- | The golden dawn shall tell you that you did not dream.

-
- | How shall I greet thee, Autumn? with loud praise
- | And joyous song and wild, tumultuous laughter?
- | Or unrestrained tears?
- | Shall I behold only the scarlet haze
- | Of these thy days
- | That come to crown this best of all the years?
- | Or shall I hear, even now, those sad hours chime—
- | Those unborn hours that surely follow after
- | The shedding of thy last-relinquished leaf—
- | Till I, too, learn the strength and change of time
- | Who am made one with grief?
-
- | For now thou comest not as thou of old
- | Wast wont to come; and now mine old desire
- | Is sated not at all
- | With sunset-visions of thy splendid gold
- | Or fold on fold
- | Of the stained clouds thou hast for coronal.
- | Still all these ways and things are thine, and still
- | Before thine altar burneth the ancient fire;
- | The blackness of the pines is still the same,
- | And the same peace broodeth behind the hill
- | Where the old maples flame.
-
- | I, counting these, behold no change; and yet,
- | To-day, I deem, they know not me for lover,
- | Nor live because of me.
- | And yesterday, was it not thou I met,
- | Thy warm lips wet
- | And purpled with wild grapes crushed wantonly,
- | And yellow wind-swept wheat bound round thy hair,
- | Thy brawn breast half set free and half draped over
- | With long green leaves of corn? Was it not thou,
- | Thy feet unsandaled, and thy shoulders bare
- | As the gleaned fields are now?
-
- | Yea, Autumn, it was thou, and glad was I
- | To meet thee and caress thee for an hour
- | And fancy I was thine;
- | For then I had not learned all things must die
- | Under the sky,—
- | That everywhere (a flaw in the design!)
- | Decay crept in, unquickening the mass,—
- | Creed, empire, man-at-arms, or stone, or flower.
- | In my unwisdom then, I had not read
- | The message writ across Earth's face, alas,
- | But scanned the sun instead.
-
- | For all men sow; and then it happeneth—
- | When harvest time is come, and thou are season—
- | Each goeth forth to reap.
- | "This cometh unto him" (perchance one saith)
- | "Who laboreth:
- | This is my wage: I will lie down and sleep."—
- | He maketh no oblation unto Earth.
- | Another, in his heart divine unreason,
- | Seeing his fields lie barren in the sun,
- | Crieth, "O fool! Behold the little worth
- | Of that thy toil hath won!"
-
- | And so one sleepeth, dreaming of no prayer;
- | And so one lieth sleepless, till thou comest
- | To bid his cursing cease;
- | Then, in his dreams, envieth the other's share.
- | Whilst, otherwhere,
- | Thou showest still thy perfect face of peace,
- | O Autumn, unto men of alien lands!
- | Along their paths a little while thou roamest.
- | A little while they deem thee queenliest,
- | And good the laying-on of thy warm hands,—
- | And then, they, too, would rest.
-
- | They, too, would only rest, forgetting thee!
- | But I, who am grown the wiser for thy loving,
- | Never may thee deny!
- | And when the last child hath forsaken me,
- | And quietly
- | Men go about the house wherein I lie,
- | I shall lie glad, feeling across my face
- | Thy damp and clinging hair, and thy hands moving
- | To find my wasted hands that wait for thine
- | Beneath white cloths; and, for one whisper's space,
- | Autumn, thy lips on mine!

- | If she would come, now, and say, *What will you Lover?*—
- | She who has the fairest gifts of all the earth to give—
- | Think you I should ask some tremendous thing to prove her,
- | Her life, say, and all her love, so long as she might live?
- | Should I touch her hair? her hands? her garments, even?
- | Nay! for such rewards the gods their own good time have set!
- | Once, these were *all* mine: the least, poor one was heaven:
- | Now, lest she remember, I pray that she forget.
-
- | Merely should I ask—ah! she would not refuse them
- | Who still seems very kind when I meet with her in dreams—
- | Only three of our old days, and—should she help to choose them
- | Would the first not be in April, beside the sudden streams?......
- | Once, upon a morning, up the path that we had taken,
- | We saw Spring come where the willow-buds are grey;
- | Heard the high hills, as with tread of armies, shaken;
- | Felt the strong sun—O, the glory of that day!
-
- | And then—what? one afternoon of quiet summer weather
- | O, woodlands and meadow-lands along the blue St. John,
- | My birch finds a path—though your rafts lie close together—
- | Then O! what starry miles before the grey o' the dawn!........
- | I have met the new day, among the misty islands,
- | Come with whine of saw-mills and whirr of hidden wings,
- | Gleam of dewy cobwebs, smell of grassy highlands.—
- | Ah! the blood grows young again thinking of these things.
-
- | Then, last and best of all! Though all else were found hollow
- | Would Time not send a little space, before the Autumn's close,
- | And lead us up the road—the old road we used to follow
- | Among the sunset hills till the Hunter's Moon arise?......
- | Then, Home through the poplar-wood! damp across our faces
- | The grey leaves that fall, the moths that flutter by:
- | Yea! this for me, now, of all old hours and places,
- | To keep when I am dead, Time, until she come to die.

- | Is it very long ago things were as they are
- | Now? or was it ever? or is it to be?
- | Was it up this road we came, glad the end was far?
- | Taking comfort each of each, singing cheerily?
-
- | O, the way was good to tread! Up hill and down;
- | Past the quiet forestlands, by the grassy plains;
- | Here a stony wilderness, there an ancient town,
- | Now the high sun over us, now the driving rains.
-
- | Strange and evil things we met—but what cared we,
- | Strong men and unafraid, ripe for any chance?
- | Battles by the countless score, red blood running free—
- | Soon we learned that all of these were our inheritance.
-
- | Some of us there were that fell: what was that to us?
- | They were weak—we were strong—health we held to yet:
- | Pleasant graves we digged them, we the valorous,—
- | Then to the road again, striving to forget.
-
- | Once again upon the road! The seasons passed us by—
- | Blood-root and mayflowers, grasses straight and tall,
- | Scarlet banners on the hills, snowdrifts white and high,—
- | One by one we lived them through, giving thanks for all.
-
- | O, the countries that we found in our wandering!
- | Wide seas without a sail, islands fringed with foam,
- | Undiscovered till we came, waiting for their king,—
- | We might tarry but a while, far away from home.
-
- | Far away the home we sought,—soon we must be gone;
- | The old road, the old days, still we clung to those;
- | The dawn came, the noon came, the dusk came, the dawn—
- | Still we kept upon this path long ago we chose.
-

-
- | Was it up this road we came, glad the end was far,

- | Surely it was morning then: now, the twilight star
- | Hangs above the hidden hills—white and very low.
-
- | Quietly the Earth takes on the hush of things asleep;
- | All the silence of the birds stills the moveless air;
- | —Yet we must not falter now, though the way be steep;
- | Just beyond the turn o' the road,—surely Peace is thee!

- | At last we reached the pointed firs
- | And rested for a little while;
- | The light of home was in her smile
- | And my cold hand grew warm as her's.
-
- | Behind, across the level snow,
- | We saw the half-moon touch the hill
- | Where we had felt the sunset; still
- | Our feet had many miles to go.
-
- | And now, new little stars were born
- | In the dark hollows of the sky:—
- | Perhaps (she said) lest we should die
- | Of weariness before the morn.

- | Once, when the year stood still at June,
- | At even we had tarried there
- | Till Dusk came in—her noiseless hair
- | Trailing along a pathway strewn
-
- | With broken cones and year-old things,
- | But now, tonight, it seemed that She
- | Therein abode continually,
- | With weighted feet and folded wings,
-
- | And so we lingered not for dawn
- | To mark the edges of out path;
- | But with such home a blind man hath
- | At midnight, we went groping on.
-
- | —I do not know how many firs
- | We stumbled past in that still wood:
- | Only I know that once we stood
- | Together there—my lips on her's.

- | Between the midnight and the dawn
- | We came out on the farther side;
- | —What if the wood *was* dark and wide?
- | Its shadows now here far withdrawn,
-
- | And O the white stars in the sky!
- | And O the glitter of the snow!—
- | Henceforth we know our feet should know
- | Fair ways to travel—she and I—
-
- | For One—Whose shadow is the Night—
- | Unwound them where the Great Bear swung
- | And wide across the darkness flung
- | The ribbons of the Northern Light.

-
- | What! and do you find it good,
- | Sitting here alone with me?
- | Hark! the wind goes through the wood
- | And the snow drifts heavily,
-
- | When the morning brings the light
- | How know I you will not say,
- | "What a storm there fell last night,
- | Is the next inn far away?"
-
- | How know I you do not dream
- | Of some country where the grass
- | Grows up tall around the gleam
- | Of the milestones you must pass?
-
- | Even now perhaps you tell
- | (While your hands play through my hair)
- | Every hill, each hidden well,
- | All the pleasant valleys there,
-
- | That before a clear moon shines
- | You will be with them again!
- | —Hear the booming of the pines
- | And the sleet against the pane.

- | Wake, and look upon the sun,
- | I awoke an hour ago,
- | When the night was hardly done
- | And still fell a little snow,
-
- | Since the hill-tops touched the light
- | Many things have my hands made,
- | Just that you should think them right
- | And be glad that you have stayed.
-
- | —How I worked the while you slept!
- | Scarcely did I dare to sing!
- | All my soul a silence kept—
- | Fearing your awakening.
-
- | Now, indeed, I do not care
- | If you wake; for now the sun
- | Makes the least of all things fair
- | That my poor two hands have done.

- | No, it is not hard to find.
- | You will know it by the hills—
- | Seven—sloping up behind;
- | By the soft perfume that fills
-
- | (O, the red, red roses there!)
- | Full the narrow path thereto:
- | By the dark pine-forest where
- | Such a little wind breathes through;
-
- | By the way the bend o' the stream
- | Takes the peace that twilight brings:
- | By the sunset, and the gleam
- | Of uncounted swallows' wings.
-
- | —No, indeed, I have not been
- | There: but such dreams I have had!
- | And, when I grow old, the green
- | Leaves will hide me, too, made glad.
-
- | Yes, you must go now, I know.

-
-.. vspace:: 1
-
-..
-
- | High above the trees, swinging in across the hills,
- | There's a wide cloud, ominous and slow;
- | And the wind that rushes over sends the little stars to cover
- | And the wavering shadows fade along the snow.
- | Surely on my window (Hark the tumult of the night!)
- | That's a first, fitful drop of scanty rain;
- | And the hillside wakes and quivers with the strength of newborn rivers
- | Come to make our Northland glad and free again.
-
- | O remember how the snow fell the long winter through!
- | Was it yesterday I tied your snowshoes on?
- | All my soul grew wild with yearning for the sight of you returning
- | But I waited all those hours that you were gone,
- | For I watched you from our window through the blurring flakes that fell
- | Till you gained the quiet wood, and then I knew
- | (When our pathways lay together how we revelled in such weather!)
- | That the ancient things I loved would comfort you.
-
- | Now I knew that you would tarry in the shadow of the firs
- | And remember many winters overpast:
- | All the hidden signs I found you of the hiding life around you,
- | Sleeping patient till the year should wake at last.
- | Here a tuft of fern underneath the rounded drift:
- | A rock, there, behind a covered spring;
- | And here, nowhither tending, tracks beginning not nor ending,—
- | Was it bird or shy four-footed furry thing?
-
- | And remember how we followed down the woodman's winding trail!
- | By the axe-strokes ringing louder, one by one,
- | Well we knew that we were nearing now the edges of the clearing,—
- | O the gleam of chips all yellow in the sun!
- | But the twilight fell about us as we watched him at his work;
- | And in the south a sudden moon, hung low,
- | Beckoned us beyond the shadows—down the hill—across the meadows
- | Where our little house loomed dark against the snow.
-
- | And that night, too—remember?—outside our quiet house,
- | Just before the dawn we heard the moaning wind:
- | Only then its wings were weighted with the storm itself created
- | And it hid the very things it came to find.
- | In the morn, when we arose, and looked out across the fields,
- | (Hark the branches! how they shatter overhead!)
- | Seemed it not that Time was sleeping, and the whole wide world was keeping
- | All the silence of the Houses of the dead?
-
- | Ah, but that was long ago! And tonight the wind foretells
- | (Hark, above the wind, the little laughing rills!)
- | Earth's forgetfulness of sorrow when the dawn shall break tomorrow
- | And lead me to the bases of the hills:
- | To the low southern hills where of old we used to go—
- | (Hark the rumour of ten thousand ancient Springs!)
- | O my love, to thy dark quiet—far beyond our North's mad riot—
- | Do thy new Gods bring remembrance of such things?

-
- I. _IN THE NORTH._
-
-
- Come, let us go and be glad again together
- Where of old our eyes were opened and we knew that we were free!
- Come, for it is April, and her hands have loosed the tether
- That has bound for long her children.--who her children more
- than we?
-
- Hark! hear you not how the strong waters thunder
- Down through the alders with the word they have to bring?
- Even now they win the meadow and the withered turf is under,
- And, above, the willows quiver with foreknowledge of the spring.
-
- Yea, they come, and joy in coming: for the giant hills have sent
- them.--
- The hills that guard the portal where the South has built her
- throne:
- Unloitering their course is,--can wayside pools content them,
- Who were born where old pine forests for the sea forever moan?
-
- And they, behind the hills, where forever bloom the flowers,
- So they ever know the worship of the re-arisen Earth?
- Do their hands ever clasp such a happiness as ours,
- Now the waters foam about us and the grasses have their birth?
-
- Fair is their land,--yea fair beyond all dreaming,--
- With its sun upon the roses and its long summer day;
- Yet surely they must envy us our vision of the gleaming
- Of our lady's white throat as she comes her ancient way.
-
- For their year is never April--Oh what were Time without her!
- Yea, the drifted snows may cover us, yet shall we not complain:
- Knowing well our Lady April--all her raiment blown about her--
- Will return with many kisses for our unremembered pain!
-
-
-
-
- II. _A ROAD SONG IN MAY._
-
- O come! Is it not surely May?
- The year is at its poise today.
- Northward, I hear the distant beat
- Of Spring's irrevocable feet:
- Tomorrow June will have her way.
-
- O tawny waters, flecked with sun,
- Come: for your labours all are done.
- The grey snow fadeth from the hills;
- And toward the sound of waking mills
- Swing the brown rafts in, one by one.
-
- O bees among the willow-blooms,
- Forget your empty waxen rooms
- Awhile, and share our golden hours!
- Will they not come, the later flowers,
- With their old colours and perfumes?
-
- O wind that bloweth from the west,
- Is not this morning road the best?
- --Let us go hand in hand, as free
- And glad as little children be
- That follow some long-dreamed-of quest!
-
-
-
-
- III. _THE LANDSMAN._
-
- "It well may be just as you say,
- Will Carver, that your tales are true;
- Yet think what I must put away,
- Will Carver, if sail with you."
-
- "If you should sail with me (the wind
- Is west, the tide's at full, my men!)
- The things that you have left behind
- Will be as nothing to you then."
-
- "Inland, it's June! And birds sing
- Among the wooded hills, I know;
- Between green fields, unhastening,
- The Nashwaak's shadowed waters flow.
-
- "What know you of such things as these
- Who have the grey sea at your door,--
- Whose path is as the strong winds please
- Beyond this narrow strip of shore?"
-
- "_Your_ fields and woods! Now, answer me:
- Up what green path have your feet run
- So wide as mine, when the deep sea
- Lies all-uncovered to the sun?
-
- And down the hollows of what hills
- Have you gone--half so glad of heart
- As you shall be when our sail fills
- And the great waves ride far apart?"
-
- "O! half your life is good to live,
- Will Carver; yet, if I should go,
- What are the things that you can give
- Lest I regret the things I know!
-
- "Lest I desire the old life's way?
- The noises of the crowded town?
- The busy streets, where, night and day,
- The traffickers go up and down?"
-
- "What can I give for these? Alas,
- That all unchanged your path must be!
- Strange lights shall open as we pass
- And alien wakes traverse the sea;
-
- "Your ears shall hear (across your sleep)
- New hails, remote, disquieted,
- For not a hand-breadth of the deep
- But has to soothe some restless dead.
-
- "These things shall be. And other things,
- I think, not quite so sad as these!
- --Know you the song the rigging sings
- When up the opal-tinted seas
-
- "The slow south-wind comes amorously?
- The sudden gleam of some far sail
- Going the same glad way as we,
- Hastily, lest the good wind fail?
-
- "The dreams that come (so strange, so fair!)
- When all your world lies well within
- The moving magic circle where
- The sea ends and the skies begin?"......
-
- ......"What port is that, so far astern,
- Will Carver? And how many miles
- Shall we have run ere the tide turn?
- --And is it far to the farthest isles?"
-
-
-
-
- IV. _THE GHOST._
-
- Just where the field becomes the wood
- I thought I saw again
- Her old remembered face--made grey
- As it had known the rain.
-
- The trees grow thickly there; no place
- Has half so many trees;
- And hunted things elude one there
- Like ancient memories.
-
- The path itself is hard to find,
- And slopes up suddenly;
- --In the old days it was a path
- None knew so well as we.
-
- The path slopes upward, till it leaves
- The great trees far behind;
- --I met her once where the slender birch
- Grow up to meet the wind.
-
- Where the poplars quiver endlessly
- And the falling leaves are grey,
- I saw her come, and I was glad
- That she had learned the way.
-
- She paused a moment where the path
- Grew sunlighted and broad;
- Within her hair slept all the gold
- Of all the golden-rod.
-
- And then the wood closed in on her.
- And my hand found her hand;
- She had no words to say, yet I
- Was quick to understand.
-
- I dared to look in her two eyes;
- They too, I thought, were grey:
- But no sun shone, and all around
- Great, quiet shadows lay.
-
- Yet, as I looked, I surely knew
- That they knew nought of tears,--
- But this was very long ago,
- --A year, perhaps ten years.
-
- All this was long ago. Today,
- Her hand met not with mine;
- And where the pathway widened out
- I saw no gold hair shine.
-
- I had a weary, fruitless search,
- --I think that her wan face
- Was but the face of one asleep
- Who dreams she knew this place.
-
-
-
-
- V. _A SONG IN AUGUST._
-
- O gold is the West and gold the river-waters
- Washing past the sides of my yellow birch canoe,
- Gold are the great drops that fall from my paddle,
- The far-off hills cry a golden word of you.
-
- I can almost see you! Where its own shadow
- Creeps down the hill's side, gradual and slow.
- There you stand waiting; the goldenrod and thistle
- Glad of you beside them--the fairest thing they know.
-
- Down the worn foot-path, the tufted pines behind you,
- Grey sheep between,--unfrightened as you pass;
- Swift through the sun-glow, I to my loved one
- Come, striving hard against the long trailing grass.
-
- Soon shall I ground on the shining gravel-reaches:
- Through the thick alders you will break your way:
- Then your hand in mine, and our path is on the waters,--
- For us the long shadows and the end of day.
-
- Whither shall we go? See, over to the westward,
- An hour of precious gold standeth still for you and me;
- Still gleams the grain, all yellow on the uplands;
- West is it, or East, O Love that you would be?
-
- West now, or East? For, underneath the moonrise,
- Also it is fair; and where the reeds are tall,
- And the only little noise is the sound of quiet waters,
- Heavy, like the rain, we shall hear the duck-oats fall.
-
- And perhaps we shall see, rising slowly from the driftwood,
- A lone crane go over to its inland nest:
- Or a dark line of ducks will come in across the islands
- And sail overhead to the marshes of the west.
-
- Now a little wind rises up for our returning;
- Silver grows the East as the West grows grey;
- Shadows on the waters, shaded are the meadows,
- The firs on the hillside--naught so dark as they.
-
- Yet we have known the light!--Was ever such an August?
- Your hand leave mine; and the new stars gleam
- As we separately go to our dreams of opened heaven,--
- The golden dawn shall tell you that you did not dream.
-
-
-
-
- VI. _TO AUTUMN._
-
- How shall I greet thee, Autumn? with loud praise
- And joyous song and wild, tumultuous laughter?
- Or unrestrained tears?
- Shall I behold only the scarlet haze
- Of these thy days
- That come to crown this best of all the years?
- Or shall I hear, even now, those sad hours chime--
- Those unborn hours that surely follow after
- The shedding of thy last-relinquished leaf--
- Till I, too, learn the strength and change of time
- Who am made one with grief?
-
- For now thou comest not as thou of old
- Wast wont to come; and now mine old desire
- Is sated not at all
- With sunset-visions of thy splendid gold
- Or fold on fold
- Of the stained clouds thou hast for coronal.
- Still all these ways and things are thine, and still
- Before thine altar burneth the ancient fire;
- The blackness of the pines is still the same,
- And the same peace broodeth behind the hill
- Where the old maples flame.
-
- I, counting these, behold no change; and yet,
- To-day, I deem, they know not me for lover,
- Nor live because of me.
- And yesterday, was it not thou I met,
- Thy warm lips wet
- And purpled with wild grapes crushed wantonly,
- And yellow wind-swept wheat bound round thy hair,
- Thy brawn breast half set free and half draped over
- With long green leaves of corn? Was it not thou,
- Thy feet unsandaled, and thy shoulders bare
- As the gleaned fields are now?
-
- Yea, Autumn, it was thou, and glad was I
- To meet thee and caress thee for an hour
- And fancy I was thine;
- For then I had not learned all things must die
- Under the sky,--
- That everywhere (a flaw in the design!)
- Decay crept in, unquickening the mass,--
- Creed, empire, man-at-arms, or stone, or flower.
- In my unwisdom then, I had not read
- The message writ across Earth's face, alas,
- But scanned the sun instead.
-
- For all men sow; and then it happeneth--
- When harvest time is come, and thou are season--
- Each goeth forth to reap.
- "This cometh unto him" (perchance one saith)
- "Who laboreth:
- This is my wage: I will lie down and sleep."--
- He maketh no oblation unto Earth.
- Another, in his heart divine unreason,
- Seeing his fields lie barren in the sun,
- Crieth, "O fool! Behold the little worth
- Of that thy toil hath won!"
-
- And so one sleepeth, dreaming of no prayer;
- And so one lieth sleepless, till thou comest
- To bid his cursing cease;
- Then, in his dreams, envieth the other's share.
- Whilst, otherwhere,
- Thou showest still thy perfect face of peace,
- O Autumn, unto men of alien lands!
- Along their paths a little while thou roamest.
- A little while they deem thee queenliest,
- And good the laying-on of thy warm hands,--
- And then, they, too, would rest.
-
- They, too, would only rest, forgetting thee!
- But I, who am grown the wiser for thy loving,
- Never may thee deny!
- And when the last child hath forsaken me,
- And quietly
- Men go about the house wherein I lie,
- I shall lie glad, feeling across my face
- Thy damp and clinging hair, and thy hands moving
- To find my wasted hands that wait for thine
- Beneath white cloths; and, for one whisper's space,
- Autumn, thy lips on mine!
-
-
-
-
- VII. _THREE GREY DAYS._
-
- If she would come, now, and say, _What will you Lover?_--
- She who has the fairest gifts of all the earth to give--
- Think you I should ask some tremendous thing to prove her,
- Her life, say, and all her love, so long as she might live?
- Should I touch her hair? her hands? her garments, even?
- Nay! for such rewards the gods their own good time have set!
- Once, these were _all_ mine: the least, poor one was heaven:
- Now, lest she remember, I pray that she forget.
-
- Merely should I ask--ah! she would not refuse them
- Who still seems very kind when I meet with her in dreams--
- Only three of our old days, and--should she help to choose them
- Would the first not be in April, beside the sudden
- streams?......
- Once, upon a morning, up the path that we had taken,
- We saw Spring come where the willow-buds are grey;
- Heard the high hills, as with tread of armies, shaken;
- Felt the strong sun--O, the glory of that day!
-
- And then--what? one afternoon of quiet summer weather
- O, woodlands and meadow-lands along the blue St. John,
- My birch finds a path--though your rafts lie close together--
- Then O! what starry miles before the grey o' the dawn!........
- I have met the new day, among the misty islands,
- Come with whine of saw-mills and whirr of hidden wings,
- Gleam of dewy cobwebs, smell of grassy highlands.--
- Ah! the blood grows young again thinking of these things.
-
- Then, last and best of all! Though all else were found hollow
- Would Time not send a little space, before the Autumn's close,
- And lead us up the road--the old road we used to follow
- Among the sunset hills till the Hunter's Moon arise?......
- Then, Home through the poplar-wood! damp across our faces
- The grey leaves that fall, the moths that flutter by:
- Yea! this for me, now, of all old hours and places,
- To keep when I am dead, Time, until she come to die.
-
-
-
-
- VIII. _THE WATCH._
-
- Are those her feet at last upon the stair?
- Her trailing garments echoing there?
- The falling of her hair?
-
- About a year ago I heard her come,
- Thus; as a child recalling some
- Vague memories of home.
-
- O how the firelight blinded her dear eyes!
- I saw them open, and grow wise:
- No questions, no replies.
-
- And now, tonight, comes the same sound of rain.
- The wet boughs reach against the pane
- In the same way, again.
-
- In the old way I hear the moaning wind
- Hunt the dead leaves it cannot find,--
- Blind as the stars are blind.
-
- --She may come in at midnight, tired and wan,
- Yet,--what if once again at dawn
- I wake to find her gone?
-
-
-
-
- IX. _THE SEEKERS._
-
- Is it very long ago things were as they are
- Now? or was it ever? or is it to be?
- Was it up this road we came, glad the end was far?
- Taking comfort each of each, singing cheerily?
-
- O, the way was good to tread! Up hill and down;
- Past the quiet forestlands, by the grassy plains;
- Here a stony wilderness, there an ancient town,
- Now the high sun over us, now the driving rains.
-
- Strange and evil things we met--but what cared we,
- Strong men and unafraid, ripe for any chance?
- Battles by the countless score, red blood running free--
- Soon we learned that all of these were our inheritance.
-
- Some of us there were that fell: what was that to us?
- They were weak--we were strong--health we held to yet:
- Pleasant graves we digged them, we the valorous,--
- Then to the road again, striving to forget.
-
- Once again upon the road! The seasons passed us by--
- Blood-root and mayflowers, grasses straight and tall,
- Scarlet banners on the hills, snowdrifts white and high,--
- One by one we lived them through, giving thanks for all.
-
- O, the countries that we found in our wandering!
- Wide seas without a sail, islands fringed with foam,
- Undiscovered till we came, waiting for their king,--
- We might tarry but a while, far away from home.
-
- Far away the home we sought,--soon we must be gone;
- The old road, the old days, still we clung to those;
- The dawn came, the noon came, the dusk came, the dawn--
- Still we kept upon this path long ago we chose.
-
- * * * * *
-
- Was it up this road we came, glad the end was far,
- Yesterday,--last year--a million years ago?
- Surely it was morning then: now, the twilight star
- Hangs above the hidden hills--white and very low.
-
- Quietly the Earth takes on the hush of things asleep;
- All the silence of the birds stills the moveless air;
- --Yet we must not falter now, though the way be steep;
- Just beyond the turn o' the road,--surely Peace is thee!
-
-
-
-
- X. _FELLOWSHIP_.
-
- 1.
-
- At last we reached the pointed firs
- And rested for a little while;
- The light of home was in her smile
- And my cold hand grew warm as her's.
-
- Behind, across the level snow,
- We saw the half-moon touch the hill
- Where we had felt the sunset; still
- Our feet had many miles to go.
-
- And now, new little stars were born
- In the dark hollows of the sky:--
- Perhaps (she said) lest we should die
- Of weariness before the morn.
-
-
- 2.
-
- Once, when the year stood still at June,
- At even we had tarried there
- Till Dusk came in--her noiseless hair
- Trailing along a pathway strewn
-
- With broken cones and year-old things,
- But now, tonight, it seemed that She
- Therein abode continually,
- With weighted feet and folded wings,
-
- And so we lingered not for dawn
- To mark the edges of out path;
- But with such home a blind man hath
- At midnight, we went groping on.
-
- --I do not know how many firs
- We stumbled past in that still wood:
- Only I know that once we stood
- Together there--my lips on her's.
-
-
- 3.
-
- Between the midnight and the dawn
- We came out on the farther side;
- --What if the wood _was_ dark and wide?
- Its shadows now here far withdrawn,
-
- And O the white stars in the sky!
- And O the glitter of the snow!--
- Henceforth we know our feet should know
- Fair ways to travel--she and I--
-
- For One--Whose shadow is the Night--
- Unwound them where the Great Bear swung
- And wide across the darkness flung
- The ribbons of the Northern Light.
-
-
-
-
- XI. _THE LODGER._
-
- What! and do you find it good,
- Sitting here alone with me?
- Hark! the wind goes through the wood
- And the snow drifts heavily,
-
- When the morning brings the light
- How know I you will not say,
- "What a storm there fell last night,
- Is the next inn far away?"
-
- How know I you do not dream
- Of some country where the grass
- Grows up tall around the gleam
- Of the milestones you must pass?
-
- Even now perhaps you tell
- (While your hands play through my hair)
- Every hill, each hidden well,
- All the pleasant valleys there,
-
- That before a clear moon shines
- You will be with them again!
- --Hear the booming of the pines
- And the sleet against the pane.
-
-
- 2.
-
- Wake, and look upon the sun,
- I awoke an hour ago,
- When the night was hardly done
- And still fell a little snow,
-
- Since the hill-tops touched the light
- Many things have my hands made,
- Just that you should think them right
- And be glad that you have stayed.
-
- --How I worked the while you slept!
- Scarcely did I dare to sing!
- All my soul a silence kept--
- Fearing your awakening.
-
- Now, indeed, I do not care
- If you wake; for now the sun
- Makes the least of all things fair
- That my poor two hands have done.
-
-
- 3.
-
- No, it is not hard to find.
- You will know it by the hills--
- Seven--sloping up behind;
- By the soft perfume that fills
-
- (O, the red, red roses there!)
- Full the narrow path thereto:
- By the dark pine-forest where
- Such a little wind breathes through;
-
- By the way the bend o' the stream
- Takes the peace that twilight brings:
- By the sunset, and the gleam
- Of uncounted swallows' wings.
-
- --No, indeed, I have not been
- There: but such dreams I have had!
- And, when I grow old, the green
- Leaves will hide me, too, made glad.
-
- Yes, you must go now, I know.
- You are sure you understand?
- --How I wish that I could go
- Now, and lead you by the hand.
-
-
-
-
- XII. _MARCH WIND._
-
- High above the trees, swinging in across the hills,
- There's a wide cloud, ominous and slow;
- And the wind that rushes over sends the little stars to cover
- And the wavering shadows fade along the snow.
- Surely on my window (Hark the tumult of the night!)
- That's a first, fitful drop of scanty rain;
- And the hillside wakes and quivers with the strength of newborn
- rivers
- Come to make our Northland glad and free again.
-
- O remember how the snow fell the long winter through!
- Was it yesterday I tied your snowshoes on?
- All my soul grew wild with yearning for the sight of you
- returning
- But I waited all those hours that you were gone,
- For I watched you from our window through the blurring flakes
- that fell
- Till you gained the quiet wood, and then I knew
- (When our pathways lay together how we revelled in such
- weather!)
- That the ancient things I loved would comfort you.
-
- Now I knew that you would tarry in the shadow of the firs
- And remember many winters overpast:
- All the hidden signs I found you of the hiding life around you,
- Sleeping patient till the year should wake at last.
- Here a tuft of fern underneath the rounded drift:
- A rock, there, behind a covered spring;
- And here, nowhither tending, tracks beginning not nor ending,--
- Was it bird or shy four-footed furry thing?
-
- And remember how we followed down the woodman's winding trail!
- By the axe-strokes ringing louder, one by one,
- Well we knew that we were nearing now the edges of the
- clearing,--
- O the gleam of chips all yellow in the sun!
- But the twilight fell about us as we watched him at his work;
- And in the south a sudden moon, hung low,
- Beckoned us beyond the shadows--down the hill--across the
- meadows
- Where our little house loomed dark against the snow.
-
- And that night, too--remember?--outside our quiet house,
- Just before the dawn we heard the moaning wind:
- Only then its wings were weighted with the storm itself created
- And it hid the very things it came to find.
- In the morn, when we arose, and looked out across the fields,
- (Hark the branches! how they shatter overhead!)
- Seemed it not that Time was sleeping, and the whole wide world
- was keeping
- All the silence of the Houses of the dead?
-
- Ah, but that was long ago! And tonight the wind foretells
- (Hark, above the wind, the little laughing rills!)
- Earth's forgetfulness of sorrow when the dawn shall break
- tomorrow
- And lead me to the bases of the hills:
- To the low southern hills where of old we used to go--
- (Hark the rumour of ten thousand ancient Springs!)
- O my love, to thy dark quiet--far beyond our North's mad riot--
- Do thy new Gods bring remembrance of such things?

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg(tm)
-
-
-Project Gutenberg(tm) is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
-including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
-because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
-people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg(tm)'s
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg(tm) collection will remain
-freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and
-permanent future for Project Gutenberg(tm) and future generations. To
-learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and
-how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the
-Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org .

-of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue
-Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification number is

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation
-
-
-Project Gutenberg(tm) depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread 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 http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/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: http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
-
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg(tm) electronic
-works.
-
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg(tm)
-concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
-with anyone. For thirty 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 Public Domain in the U.S. unless
-a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks
-in compliance with any particular paper edition.
-
-Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's eBook
-number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
-compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
-
-Corrected _editions_ of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
-the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed.
-_Versions_ based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
-new filenames and etext numbers.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
-
- http://www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site 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.
