-copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
-works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg

-Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
-
-1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
-what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in

-the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
-before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
-creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
-Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning
-the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
-States.

-Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
-copied or distributed:

-from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
-posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
-and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
-or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
-with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the

-
-1.F.
-
-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
-public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
-collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm 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.
-
-1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
-of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
-liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
-fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
-LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
-PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
-TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
-LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR

-the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
-refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
-providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
-receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy
-is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
-opportunities to fix the problem.
-
-1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth

-that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
-or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
-work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
-Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
-
-
-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 are 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 information page at www.gutenberg.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. 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
-contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the
-Foundation's web site and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
-
-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-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 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 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.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
-
- 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.

-
-
- THE DAYS
-
-
- A long grim corridor--a sullen bar
- Of light athwart the darkness--where no fleet
- Pale sunshine spreads for dark his winding sheet
- A light, not born of noon nor placid star
- Glows lurid thro' the gloom--while from afar,
- Beats marching of innumerable feet.
- Is this the place where tragic armies meet?
- The throb of terror that presages war?--
- I strain to see, then softly on my sight
- There falls the vision, manifold they come--
- White listless Day chained to her brother Night--
- Their hands are shackled and their lips are dumb,
- And as they meet the air where each one dies,
- They turn and smile at me--with weary eyes.
-
-
-
-
- THE EVERLASTING SNOWS
-
-
- And shall it be that these undaunted snows
- That poise so lightly on the mountains' crest--
- A lily laid to cheer its lonely breast--
- Shall their chill smile still face the wind, that blows
- Across the field whereon no blossom grows,
- And light the land where no gay life may rest
- Save glowing hasty fingers of the West,
- When our two hearts lie cold beneath the rose?
- These silver flakes of ancient hoary frost,
- Surviving all our joys' supremest powers,
- And though the petals of your lips be lost
- And gone the summer of your golden head,
- This pale eternal growth of winter's flowers
- Shall still live on--though our sweet love be dead.
-
-
-
-
- THRONE AND ALTAR
-
-
- He had a vision of a golden throne
- Fronting an altar; both alike were bare,
- But o'er the purple of the regal chair
- Blazed the device, "I wait for him alone
- Who with the world has held his soul his own."
- He sadly turned, this height he could not dare.
- But--Stay--the text upon the altar there--
- "I wait for him who has not made a moan
- Howe'er his kind have used his heaven-sent dower.
- Fear not, and burn thine incense, lowly heart."
- And sudden brightness turns the averted face,
- To holy sense of majesty and power--
- And a voice:--"Master--this indeed thou art."
- Wondrous music trembles thro' the space.
-
-
-
-
- EAST AND WEST
-
-
- You have not ceased for me. Though stern-browed Fate
- Laid our two paths apart; when in the West
- She gave you over to the seas, and great
- Wide winds of enterprise, and set your breast
- Against the suns and shadows of the earth;
- Then with a gilded largess, led my ways
- Toward the time-worn East, who paints her dearth
- With purple vain imaginings; the praise
- Of all her languid incense and the pride
- Of ancient mysteries and hopeless creeds
- Hold for my heart no spell when warm and wide
- I see across the blue of Isis' veil
- The thunderous breakers of your ocean pale
- And glints of prairie sun through river reeds.
-
-
-
-
- THE BATTLE
-
-
- The pallid waves caress the paler sand,
- Falter and tremble, then reluctant wane,
- Fearing advance, yet venturing again.
- Grey deep sea waves that never knew the land,
- Tired with the tumult, stretch a crooked hand
- To win a precious sweet surcease from pain,
- But, glancing back upon the mighty main,
- Perforce return to swell the strong command.
- So fretful Life sees Death's cold sands and faints
- To fling thereon the wearing of her wave,
- Yet, turning ere she finds the gloomy shore,
- Seeing ahead the idle senseless grave,
- Behind--the Kings, the Patriots and the Saints,
- She sighing turns to face the fight once more.
-
-
-
-
- WATER AND WINE
-
-
- I asked for water and they brought me wine;
- Wine in a jewelled chalice, where the gold
- Gleamed thro' the purple beads, as if unrolled--
- One saw the sun-rays of a life-time shine.
- So drinking, I forgot my dream divine
- Of crystal purity, for in my hold
- Were wealth and Fame and Passions manifold
- Which with the draught I fancied might be mine.
-
- "Ah, Youth," I said, "Ah, Faith and Love!" I said;
- "These are but broken lances in the strife!
- What shall remain when all these things are sped?"
- Then crashed the dream. I clutched the hand of Fate
- Amid the ruins of my shattered life,
- And found the Gods had cheated, all too late.
-
-
-
-
- PITY ME NOT!
-
-
- Cruel and fair! within thy hollowed hand
- My heart is lying as a little rose,
- So faint and faded, scarce could one suppose
- It might look in thine eyes and understand
- The song they sing unto a weary land,
- Making it radiant, yet because I dare,
- To love thee, being weak, lose not thine air
- Of passive distance, fateful and most grand.
-
- Pity me not, nor turn away awhile
- Till absence's cloud has caught my passion up.
- Ah, be not kind! for love's sake, be not kind!
- Grant me the tragic deepness of the cup,
- And when thine eyes have flashed and made me blind,
- Kill me beneath the shadow of thy smile.
-
-
-
-
- A DREAM IN FEVER
-
-
- A vast screen of unequal downward lines,
- An orange purple halo 'round the rain,
- Twists from a space whose very size is pain.
- Here in this vortex day with night combines;
- Ruby and Emerald glint their blazing spines;
- Closing and smothering, wheels a brazen main,
- A shuddering sea of silence; in its train
- A Thought--a cry, whose snake--fear trembling twines
- Around--above--alive yet uttered not;
- But my heart hears--and shrieking dies of dread,
- Then soaring breaks its bands and o'er the rim
- White winged it rends the dark with jagged blot,
- Glimpsing the iris gateway barred ahead,
- And, gazing thro', the eyes of cherubim.
-
-
-
-
- A WOMAN'S PRIDE
-
-
- I will not look for him--I will not hear
- My heart's loud beating, as I strain to see
- Across the rain forlorn and hopelessly,
- Nor starting, think 'tis he that draws so near.
- I will forget how tenderly and dear
- He might in coming hold his arms to me,
- For I will prove what woman's pride can be
- When faint love lingers in the darkness drear.
- I will not--Ah, but should he come to-night
- I think my life might break thro' very bliss,
- This little will should so be torn apart
- That all my soul might fail in golden light
- And let me die--So do I long for this.
- Ah, love, thine eyes!--Nay, love--Thy heart, thy heart!
-
-
-
-
- AGE
-
-
- I have a dream, that somewhere in the days,
- Since when a myriad suns have burned and died,
- There was a time my soul was not for pride
- Of spendthrift youth, the pensioner who pays
- Dole for the pain of searching thro' the haze
- Where joy lies hidden. As the puff balls ride,
- The wandering wind across the Summer's side--
- So winged my spirit in a golden blaze
- Of pure and careless Present--Future naught
- But a sad dotard's wail--and I was young,
- Who now am old. Now years like flashes seem,
- Lambent or grey on the great wall of Thought--
- This is a song a poet may have sung--
- No proof remains, I have but dreamed a dream.
-
-
-
-
- IN THE MIST
-
-
- Ah love, my love, upon this alien shore
- I lean and watch the pale uneasy ships
- Slip thro' the waving mist in strange eclipse,
- Like spirits of some time and land of yore.
- I did not think my heart could love thee more,
- And yet, when lightlier than a swallow dips,
- The wind lays ghostly kisses on my lips
- I seem to know of love the eternal core.
- Here is no throbbing of impassioned breath
- To beat upon my cheek, no pulsing heart
- Which might be silenced by the touch of Death,
- No smile which other smile has softly kissed
- Or doting gaze which Time must draw apart,
- But spirit's spirit in the trailing mist.
-
-
-
-
- ON THE MOUNTAIN'S SLOPE
-
-
- High on the mountain's slope I pause and turn--
- Over my head, by the rough crag-points high,
- Seems rent and torn the tender hovering sky,
- Till almost--thro'--I see a Heaven-spark burn;
- Then downward to the sleeping world I yearn
- Whose eyes so heavy droop they may not try
- To catch the higher gleam--and live thereby--
- Youth passes graveward--and they never learn.
- Then faint with brooding o'er a careless earth
- I turn to Nature and her broad warm breast,
- Strive for a friendship with her sun-burnt mirth,
- Teach my sad soul to catch her cadence deep,
- Dream that in her absorbed my heart must rest;
- But Nature smiles, and turns once more in sleep.
-
-
-
-
- TO THE BELOVED
-
-
- Beloved, when the tides of life run low
- As sobbing echoes of a dead refrain,
- And I may sit and watch the silent rain
- And muse upon the fulness of my woe,
- Then is my burden lighter, for I know
- The roses of my heart shall bloom again
- The fairer for this plenitude of pain,
- And Summer shall forget the chilly snow.
- But when life calls me to its revels gay
- And I must face the world's wide-gazing eyes
- Nor find sweet rest by night or peace by day,
- E'en seems your love, where I would turn for aid,
- As distant as the blue in sunny skies;
- Then am I very lonely and afraid.
-
-
-
-
- MY BROOK
-
-
- Earth holds no sweeter secret anywhere
- Than this my brook, that lisps along the green
- Of mossy channels, where slim birch trees lean
- Like tall pale ladies whose delicious hair
- Lures and invites the kiss of wanton air.
- The smooth soft grasses, delicate between
- The rougher stalks, by waifs alone are seen,
- Shy things that live in sweet seclusion there.
- And is it still the same, and do these eyes
- Of every silver ripple meet the trees
- That bend above like guarding emerald skies?
- I turn--who read the city's beggared book
- And hear across the moan of many seas
- The whisper and the laughter of my brook.
-
-
-
-
- BENEATH THE MOON
-
-
- Give me thy hand, Beloved! Here where still
- The night wind hovers 'neath the pallid moon
- Give me this fleeting moment; all too soon
- The listless day will break upon the hill;
- This last sweet night is mine. The tremulous thrill
- Upon thy lips is all the precious boon
- I begged of Heaven, the garish sun of noon
- Is theirs--the rest--mine is this moment's will.
- Our love could never be the love of day.
- I have not claimed the welcome of thy lips;
- No touch save fluttering hand, and for the pay
- I gave my minstrelsy of sea and sky.
- Once more thine eyes! Now sun-stained finger tips,
- Send through the hush of dawn a glad good-bye.
-
-
-
-
- THE RUBY
-
-
- Ah--she was fair, this daughter of a queen!
- Jewels upon her breast's soft fall of snow,
- Jewels--in golden hair--and fierce aglow,
- The gem of pride upon her brow serene!
- Sleeping soft moonstone, emerald's baleful green,
- A single sapphire, singing soft and low
- Of wars for beauty's sake in years ago,
- And flaming opal--wed with tourmaline.
- Yet was there one great stone she might not wear,
- And so her eyes were weary, and her mouth
- Curved in the listless line of vain desire.
- No diamond pure was hers the right to bear,
- But--crimson poison petal of the South--
- The ruby shone in deep unholy fire.
-
-
-
-
- SPRING AND AUTUMN
-
-
- The painted World has laid her jewels down,
- Let fall the pinchbeck hair about her face
- And croons a love song. In a far-off place
- Where she was strutting in her silken gown
- She met the Youth. His face was young and brown.
- "Good day to you," she cried, the frosty lace
- About her shoulders trembled. Ah--disgrace!
- He turned, and left her weeping in the town.
- She smiles not any more, her heart disdains
- The wind's rough courting, loud and indiscreet.
- Her tears dissolve the earth in ceaseless rains
- And though her searching steps be light and fleet
- Through frowning city or soft country lanes,
- Now never more may Spring and Autumn meet.
-
-
-
-
- THE LOST MOMENT
-
-
- This moment I so careless threw away,
- Tossed to the ages, with a spendthrift hand,
- Little I recked the labour that had planned
- This flash eternal of a Summer day;
- Æons of sequent toil had passed to pay
- Wealth to the freighted instant. Slow and grand
- Wavers a solemn dirge across the land,
- One soul, in my lost moment, found a way
- To throw the mock to Time, and call him slave.
- And I--a pauper still--gaze wise at last
- To all the grey horizon line of nought.
- But from the heart I deemed an empty grave
- Gleams forth like spark my precious gem of past
- Shrined in the setting of a deathless thought.
-
-
-
-
- THE COMING
- OF LOVE
-
-
- I dreamed that love came, as the oak trees grow,
- By the chance dropping of a tiny seed;
- And then from moon to moon with steady speed,
- Tho' torn by winds and chilled with heedless snow,
- The sap of pulsing life would upward flow,
- 'Till in its might the heavens themselves could read
- Portents of power that they must learn to heed.
- This was my dream--the waking proved not so--
- For love came like a flower, and grew apace;
- I saw it blossom tenderly and frail
- Till the dear Spring had run its eager race,
- Then the rough wind tossed wide the petals red;
- The seeds fell far in soil beyond my pale.
- I know not, now, if love be lost, or dead.
-
-
-
-
- EVENING AT
- WASHINGTON
-
-
- The purple stretches of the evening sky
- Lean to the fair white city waiting here,
- Flecking with gold the marble's lifted tier,
- Down the blue marsh where crows to Southward fly.
- Flanked by dim ramparts, where the tide dreams by,
- High from the city's heart, a lifted spear,
- In its straight splendour makes the heavens seem near,
- Symbol of man-made force that shall not die.
- To the tall crest we gaze in self-command,
- Assured the world's our own and we may dare
- To raise our Babel thro' forbidden aisles
- And hold the skirt of knowledge in our hand,
- Great in our moment, spurn the world's despair;
- While Heaven looks down through calm unmeasured miles.
-
-
-
-
- LOVE'S KISS
-
-
- Kiss me but once--and in that space supreme
- My whole dark life shall quiver to an end,
- Sweet Death shall see my heart and comprehend
- That life is crowned--and in an endless gleam
- Will fix the colour of the dying stream
- That Life and Death may meet as friend with friend
- An endless immortality to blend;
- Kiss me but once, and so shall end my dream.
- And then Love heard me and bestowed his kiss,
- And straight I cried to Death: I will not die!
- Earth is so fair when one remembers this;
- Life is but just begun! Ah, come not yet!
- The very world smiles up to kiss the sky
- And in the grave one may forget--forget.
-
-
-
-
- THE SCARLET THREAD
-
-
- The sun rose dimly thro' the pallid rain,
- Dear Heart--and have we strength to face the day?
- The times and life alike are old and grey,
- All worn with long monotonies of pain.
- Lo--we are working out the curse of Cain,
- Who never felt the fire of passion's sway.
- Ah--show us crimson in some tragic way
- That we may live!--Fate laughed in her disdain.
- A thread of scarlet clashed upon mine eyes
- Hung for a moment and was swept behind,
- And blankly I beheld the hopeless skies
- For day by contrast now is grimmest night--
- Remembering light as do the newly blind
- I pray for death to hide the bitter sight.
-
-
-
-
- AUTUMN
-
-
- The ruddy banners of the Autumn leaves
- Toss out a challenge to the waiting snows,
- Where Winter stalks from o'er the mountain rows;
- This fiery blaze his onward march receives,
- A mock defence his coward heart believes,
- And turns him sulking to his moated close.
- Now Man the confidence of Nature knows,
- And feels the mighty heart that loves and grieves.
- Not as in rude young March or hoyden June,
- Hard in their beauty, laughing thro' their days;
- Their fine indifference is out of tune.
- In the dark paths we tread in hope and fear
- Look we to Autumn and her gracious ways,
- The great last swan-song of the dying year.
-
-
-
-
- THE TIDE OF
- THE HEART
-
-
- Love, when you leave me, as with moon-bent tide
- The glad waves leave the beaches of my heart;
- Slowly and indolently they depart
- Ripple by ripple, till the light has died
- And left the naked sands forlorn to bide
- The sea's return. No might of human power
- Can fill the empty waste, nor take one hour
- From that long durance in Earth's prison wide.
- But when you come again, and hold your hands
- Dear hands, outstretched to take me, then, the waves,
- They turn, full flooded on the fainting sands,
- And all the dimpled hollows smile again,
- And brimmed with life, the deep mysterious caves
- Forget the distant night of lonely pain.

- POEMS
-
-
-
-
- DOES THE
- PEARL KNOW?
-
-
- Does the pearl know, that in its shade and sheen
- The dreamy rose, and tender wavering green,
- Are hid the hearts of all the ranging seas--
- That Beauty weeps for gifts as fair as these?
- Does it desire aught else when its rare blush
- Reflects Aurora in the morning's hush,
- Encircling all perfection can bestow--
- Does the pearl know?
-
- Does the bird know, when thro' the waking dawn
- He soaring sees below the silvered lawn,
- And weary men who wait to watch the day
- Steal o'er the heights where he may wheel and stray?
- Can he conceive his fee divine to share,
- As a free joyous peer with sun and air,
- And pity the sad things that creep below--
- Does the bird know?
-
- Does the heart know, when filled to utter brim,
- The least quick throb, a sacrificial hymn
- To a great god who scorns the frown of Jove
- That here it finds the awful power of love?
- Think you the new-born babe in first wise sleep
- Fathoms the gift the heavens have bade him keep
- Yet if this be--if all these things are so--
- Does the heart know?
-
-
-
-
- IN AUTUMN
-
-
- The gold-red leaves have burned
- To their last great glow, and died
- And underfoot
- By the strong oak's root
- They are seized by the angry wind and spurned
- And into a common grave have turned
- For Summer--warm and wide.
-
- A year must a sapling wage
- Its life with the sun and rain,
- Then its tender youth
- Without reck or ruth
- Is frozen and beaten to harsh old age
- By a stroke of Nature mother's rage
- And the sturdy fight seems vain.
-
- It wails to the oak o'erhead
- As the coffin-cold wraps round
- "The end of life
- Is toil and strife
- And the secret of being, I have found
- Is a seed in the wind and a log on the ground.
- I hope I will soon be dead."
-
- "Peace little struggler--sleep"--
- And the great oak croons a song,
- "Death is but night
- And a cradle white
- For one dark space may the shadows creep,
- Then Spring will rise from her dungeon keep
- And life wake, wise and strong."
-
-
-
-
- WAITING
- FOR DAY
-
-
- Sweet Lady Night is paling white.
- Why lags her Lord and Master?
- She weeping, lays her jewels off--
- Ah--may he not come faster.
-
- But hush--the tender rosy blush
- Her beauty fair adorning
- Her love steps o'er the mountain's rim,
- They kiss--and here's the morning.
-
-
-
-
- THE ANGEL OF
- INDIFFERENCE
-
-
- A Man once loved a Woman, in the days of old,
- Our bond is the strongest in the world, they said--
- The Angels up above
- Are jealous of our love,
- Perhaps they are wishing we were dead, overhead.
-
- So they loved for a Time and the passing of a Time,
- And the Angel of Indifference, smiling down, saw their fire,
- And he covered for a space
- With his sombre wings his face,
- That they twain might have of love all desire, without tire.
-
- But love's perfect joy within them burned at last to a flame
- Till they longed for a breeze that would gently cool the heart.
- For absence! cooling snow
- They sighed apart and low,
- Tho' they murmured still their love, hand and heart loth to part.
-
- But at length they prayed together to the calm Angel--pale,
- Ah--we yearn, scorched and weary, for the peace of thy breast.
- For that land where love seems
- But the shadow of dreams,
- Where all sleep in the silver of the West, give us rest.
-
- And he heard, and he bore them to the cool grey heights,
- Where all men may drift and himself alone stands fast,
- And gave them for their token
- The peace of dreams unbroken
- Where their souls, his faithful vassals, rest at last, from
- the past.
-
-
-
-
- DEAR DEAD WOMEN
-
-
- The winds have chilled the loving odorous South,
- All wan and grey she seeks a place to die,
- Her tossing hair, her pleading passionate mouth,
- Pity that things so fair in death must lie;
- But Winter holds and kills her with a sigh.
- One kiss he lays upon her lips so proud,
- Shuts the blue eyes and winds her sombre shroud.
-
- I walk between the narrow way of yew.
- The glowing amaranth droops upon its stalk,
- The shivering birds are timorous and few,
- And waifs of Summer strew th' untended walk;
- With vague sweet forms I seem to pass and talk.
- The ladies of those days in Summer's prime
- Whose smiles prevailed not for the frown of Time.
-
- Their little tripping feet reluctant turned
- Down the dark paths they had not known before;
- Behind them all the glow of living burned,
- But they must enter thro' the gloomy door,
- And leave behind the loves that plead no more,
- The dear frivolity of wiles and ways
- They neither need nor know in these grim days.
-
- Here in their garden's close I spend no tear,
- No smile--too rare the heights for such display.
- But on the frosted hedges' lifted spear
- And with my head a little bowed, I lay
- A pale camelia, proud and cold as they
- Who wait beneath their ashen pall of snow--
- Perhaps the fair dead dames will see and know.
-
-
-
-
- THE GRAVE OF HOPE
-
-
- There's a wild little gnome in the wood
- Who sings as he digs a grave
- Of Hope that soars and Hope that flies
- And Hope that singes her wings, and lies
- In peace where the willows wave.
-
- And he croons in the pauses of toil,
- A shivering song of Fears,
- The lean black shades of Hope so fair
- Who weave her nets with her golden hair
- And harry her down the years.
-
- And he knows she will perish at last,
- He has carved her name on the stone
- While the trees draw near and forget to sleep,
- And the little leaves bend their heads and weep,
- For Hope that must die alone.
-
-
-
-
- TREES OF THE
- WILDERNESS
-
-
- The great bleak trees stand up against the sky
- Lifting their naked arms in ceaseless prayer
- To the unpitying heavens, that they might die,
- Rather than drag their weary lives out there.
-
- Thro' starless nights the untold hours wear on,
- All awful phantom shapes affright the wood--
- And morning light but brings th' unwinking sun,
- To torture with its glare their solitude.
-
- In those grim wilds no sweet-voiced bird will sing,
- No flowers will bloom within those trackless lands,
- Nor is there trace of any living thing,
- Save those gaunt giants, holding up their hands.
-
- And when they fall, still round the unknown spot
- Howls the rough wind, till in the common ground
- They end the life which is--and yet is not,--
- A riddle where no meaning shall be found.
-
-
-
-
- THE LOVE OF THE ROSE
-
-
- Trilled forth the Nightingale
- In sweetest sleep of day--
- Unto his love, the rose,
- Ah golden heart, unclose!
- For love, my fairest rose, will last for aye.
-
- So, thro' the waning night
- She learned to wear her crown;
- Yielded her heart's sweet strife
- And found that love was life
- Set to the time the dear bird lilted down.
-
- But when the morning came
- The red sun burned above;
- Hid are the night birds all,
- Flower petals fade and fall;
- The rose is dead--and what became of love!
-
-
-
-
- IN THE GREEN YEW
-
-
- The wind is howling in angry pain,
- Ah me, and I cannot rest;
- On such a night home is best,
- Why does she stand in the same old place
- With the smile of smiles on her cold white face
- And call me thro' the rain?
-
- Ah--the Wind has died from the Fear of her smile--
- And I creep quite still--
- On over the hill,
- To where she stands 'mid the scented yew
- And where I now am standing too,
- And she sees me all the while.
-
- A little green snake curls thro' her hair--
- The scent of the yew is strong and sweet--
- Her eyes have drawn me to her feet,
- And I lie along on the drenching ground
- And worship--and watch the snake curl round,
- His tongue shoots thro' the air.
-
- Now--slowly she takes her eyes from me,
- And I dream and wait,
- Till in shades of hate
- My love of her smile has faded quite
- And I spring to kill her, there in the night--
- But only the yew I see.
-
-
-
-
- THE DEAD NIGHT
-
-
- The strong brave Night is dead. Its endless deeps
- Of patient tenderness, the moon-bright still
- When every silver lake and purple hill
- Hold wise unfathomed converse with the steeps
- Of starry heaven, are past. All nature weeps
- And draws the veiling grey of morning mist
- Upon the lips that Night's last clouds have kist--
- The Night that watched so well the world who sleeps.
- The Night is dead--Alas--and pallid Day
- is but the corpse laid out in cold array,
- The white sad emblem of the heart we knew.
- Through half-closed lids the eyes shine palely blue;
- The gleaming grave clothes cover all the rest.
- So cruel still lies now the air's sweet breast
- And trees and hills fold down calm hands and eyes,
- That none may guess their secret mysteries.
-
-
-
-
- SONG
-
-
- Softly sighs the gracious wind--
- Dash of rose, in deeps of sky,
- Love is fair and love is kind,--
- Singing free--I passed him by.
-
- Shredded clouds are whirled in air,
- Winter stalks adown the gale
- Tossing wide Love's golden hair--
- Cease the singing--Love grows pale.
-
- Howls the grey sky to the sea--
- Loose the storm-dogs from their bed.
- Turned I back--and woe is me--
- I must die--for Love is dead.
-
-
-
-
- SIGH NOT FOR LOVE
-
-
- Sigh not for love, the ways of love are dark!
- Sweet Child--hold up the hollow of your hand
- And catch the sparks that flutter from the stars!
- See how the late sky spreads in flushing bars!
- They are dead roses from your own dear land
- Tossed high by kindly breezes: lean, and hark,
- And you shall know how morning glads her lark!
- The timid Dawn, herself a little child
- Casts up shy eyes in loving worship--dear,
- Is it not yet enough? the Spring is here
- And would you weep for Winter's tempest wild
- Sigh not for love, the ways of love are dark!
-
-
-
-
- AMBITION AND LOVE
-
-
- Sweet, in the golden morning of my days,
- With young tempestuous joy I reared my head
- To gaze adown the splendid sunlit ways
- Where all the fires of fame burned glory red,
- I recked not where the sounding arches led,
- Save at the end I gain my august bays.
-
- But as of old, when through the patient night,
- Fair losing or fair gaining, till the morn,
- Great Israel strove to break the angel's might,
- Till spent and failing, in his heavenly scorn,
- Th' immortal wrestler touched the earthly born,
- Striking him powerless, winning thus the fight.
-
- So did false Fortune, when I strove and fought,
- Smiling 'neath half-closed eyelids, when seemed won,
- For a brief hour, the beckoning goal I sought--
- Then with frustrating touch dimmed all my sun
- Blotted the work and faith so brave begun;
- But what I gained was none too dearly bought.
-
- I have no wreath to lay before your feet;
- There shines no future, and the past is dead;
- But you have heard me, and I love you--Sweet.
- The low sun crowns with gold your gracious head,
- The heavy lilies nod upon their bed--
- I look at you, and find my life complete.
-
-
-
-
- TO B. D.
-
-
- Broad browed beneath a cloud of dusky hair
- Her eyes are midnight seas that never sleep
- But see beyond the dull world's heavy air
- The mystery of ages buried deep.
-
- The faint sweet shadows trembling round her mouth
- Lighten with youth and love the Sphinx's face.
- And as she moves, a soft wind from the South
- Floating, flower-laden seems--so sweet her grace.
-
- Aloof she stands, from idle mirth and tears
- And keeps the white sails of her spirit furled,
- Altho' a girl, pure from the stain of years,
- An ancient Egypt, smiling at the world.
-
-
-
-
- LITTLE SAD FACE
-
-
- Little sad face, come close, so close to mine,
- See through these eyes the sweetness of the day,
- Feel how the sunbeams dance in Summer's wine,
- Hold fast my hands and let our pulse combine
- And with my steps dance down the happy way;
- For youth is love and love is light and gay,
- Little sad face.
-
- Little sad heart, come close, so close to mine,
- And know the utmost limits of the will
- Of all the worlds, till soft thy heart divine
- A joy which can encompass grief like thine;
- Hide in my breast, and let faint pulses thrill,
- For youth is love, and love is great and still,
- Little sad heart.
-
- Little sad soul, which ne'er can come to mine,
- So great in loneliness of grey despair,
- There is not one whose spirit may entwine
- With thee--the world looks on without a sign;
- Go--hide thy face within thy tossing hair,
- Thyself veil close with smiles, for none will care,
- Little sad soul.
-
-
-
-
- EARTH'S TEARS--
- AND MAN'S
-
-
- These slanting lines of hoary rain
- Are as my grizzled hair;
- The face of earth is old with pain
- As mine--with dull despair.
-
- And yet, one sun will gild the air,
- Earth's tears were not in vain:
- No smile can ease mine eyes of care
- Or make me young again!
-
-
-
-
- I HAVE SEEN
- WHAT THE SERAPHS
- HAVE SEEN
-
-
- I have seen what the seraphs have seen
- As they gaze thro' the limitless air--
- Thro' the wind and the clouds to the lean
- Pale face of the moon, and the bare
- Bright flame of the sun, unaware,
- I have seen what the seraphs have seen!
-
- Thro' the limitless spaces of air
- The brave mists that waver and wane
- Are patient and pallid and fair.
- I have fathomed the pride and the pain
- Of the snows and compassionate rain
- Thro' the limitless spaces of air.
-
- I have known them, the brave mists that wane
- And the glory and peace of the skies.
- Where all strife and impatience are vain
- And ahush are all passionate sighs,
- For I gazed in the deeps of Love's eyes,
- And I know what no seraphs shall gain!
-
-
-
-
- A LASS FROM
- THE WOODS
-
-
- A lass from the woods
- With a leaf in her hair!
- And the rain of the night
- And the wind of the morn,
- They both quivered right;
- For my spirit forlorn
- In a garment of white
- And a laugh newly born
- Sprang in maddest of moods
- Like a blossom in air
- To the kiss of the sun
- And the curl of the breeze,
- Caught the cobwebs begun
- In the hush of the trees
- All my beatings were one
- With the swirl of the seas.
- Dead the creature that broods
- In a tangle of care;
- There's a lass from the woods
- With a leaf in her hair.
-
-
-
-
- WAS THERE
- ANOTHER SPRING
-
-
- Was there another Spring than this?
- I half remember through the haze
- Of glimmering nights and golden days,
- A broken pinioned birdling's note,
- An angry sky, a sea-wrecked boat,
- A wandering through rain-beaten ways!
- Lean closer, love--I have thy kiss!
- Was there another Spring than this?
-
-
-
-
- TO DIANE
-
-
- The ruddy poppies bend and bow
- Diane! do you remember?
- The sun you knew shines proudly now
- The lake still lists the breezes' vow;
- Your towers are fairer for their stains,
- Each stone you smiled upon remains.
- Sing low, where is Diane?
- Diane do you remember?
-
- I come to find you through the years--
- Diane! do you remember?
- For none may rule my love's soft fears.
- The ladies now are not your peers,
- I seek you thro' your tarnished halls,
- Pale sorrow on my spirit falls
- High, low--where is Diane?
- Diane do you remember?
-
- I crush the poppies where I tread--
- Diane! do you remember?
- Your flower of life--so bright, so red--
- She does not hear--Diane is dead.
- I pace the sunny bowers alone
- Where nought of her remains but stone.
- Sing low--where is Diane?
- Diane does not remember.
-
-
-
-
- BIRD LOVE--
- ROSE LOVE
-
-
- If you were but a rose--dear love--
- And I your bird, with dip of wing
- To tell a promise of the Spring
- And with a golden swift caress
- My happy careless love confess,
- No pain such gentle vows could bring,
- No tears should stay my flight above,
- If you were but a rose--dear love.
-
- Bird-love, rose-love, to last the day
- Why shall not we whose hearts are light
- Put by the coming of the night,
- Catch glints of rapture from the sky,
- The scents that swing where lilies lie,
- And ring them to a garland white
- To ease the pain of life away?
- Bird-love, rose-love, to last the day!
-
-
-
-
- THE JOY OF LIFE
-
-
- Her hair was twined with vine leaves thro' the gold,
- The leopard skin about her shoulders flung
- Showed gleams of her as marble--fair and cold;
- I breathed not--listening to the song she sung.
-
- Hither and thither thro' the solemn world,
- Glory of purple, passionate blazing red
- Glints thro' the gloom, and thro' the grey is swirled--
- Ah! but the leaves twined sweet about her head.
-
- "Heedless--men pass me in their search for life,
- Hunting for altars to their souls' fine fires,
- Crying the sun or joy of toil and strife
- And know not that 'tis I--their heart desires.
-
- They dream not that the sheen on peacock's breast,
- The haze and perfume of a Summer's day,
- The silver stealing o'er the twilight West
- Are joys more rich than all the world's display."
-
-
-
-
- MIST
-
-
- Mist on the sea; like a great bird's pendulous wing,
- Broken and hushed; it trails on the face of the main,
- Down comes the sun, a red shot from a merciful sling
- Burning its heart with swift death as an end to the pain.
-
-
-
-
- THE LAST CLOUD
-
-
- A red rose cloud upon the evening sky,
- A gallant cloud which dies in foremost fight,
- Too proud for prisons of triumphant night.
- Knowing no pause, no strain of changing years,
- Its little hour too short for dreams or tears,
- The faithful sun its first and latest light--
- Who would not so be glad to fight and die!
- A red rose cloud upon the evening sky.
-
-
-
-
- SONG
-
-
- Love is a broken lily,
- A pale and crownless rose
- With golden heart made chilly
- By traitor touch of snows.
- So sleep my heart--lie sleeping
- Nor open weary eyes,
- For waking is but weeping
- And Sleep is Paradise.
-
- Love is a cadence trailing
- Where broken music falls,
- A hapless shadow sailing
- Across deserted walls.
- So still my heart lie sleeping
- Till love's hot sun be set,
- For waking is but weeping.
- Asleep--sad eyes forget.
-
-
-
-
- IN THE GRAVE
-
-
- Dear Love--do you wake in that land where my waking is done?
- Do you bare your brave head to the winds and the clouds and the sun?
- And is Summer aflame?
- Or has the night fallen to sleep on earth's wonderful breast,
- And with it, all joys, save but you, who are dearest and best,
- Wakeful--sighing my name?
-
- Sometimes as I sleep, the sweet rain flickers over my head,
- And smiling, I dream of the tears that your sorrow has shed;
- Then I sigh and awake.
- For the dreams of the grave are the dreams that have died
- in the morn,
- And their ghosts alone haunt the cold earth where their maker
- was born,
- For a woman's sweet sake.
-
- Perhaps you are singing--and winding the garlands of May;
- Not mine be the hand to withhold you the golden to-day,
- Or give you pause to your song.
- Perhaps the sweet blossoms may charm the grave's pestilent breath.
- Ah! life is so short; so forget and be glad, dear--for death
- Is so terribly long.
-
-
-
-
- THE FLOWERS OF
- PROSERPINE
-
-
- The jewels of the sun are not more rare
- Than these that lie upon my lurid halls.
- The perfume kiss upon the drowsy air
- Is sweet as Spring can hold within her walls.
- The spell which night may cast upon her thralls
- Is mine; the length of all this gloomy land
- Knows no more sun than falls from my white hand.
-
- My wealth great kings have prayed for--in their pride,
- Bowing before me. Nay--I hate the place.
- I am no queen at heart--my laughter died
- That I might wear my crown with regal grace
- The very flowers which smile on my sad face
- I am afraid of. See! they are the worst
- Of all my fears; so fair--yet black accurst.
-
- The languid passion-poppy sways and dips
- To show the black heart bursting into flame.
- The crimson evil of a satyr's lips
- A sneering nodding finger-post of shame;
- A thousand other flowers without a name
- Huddle all trembling in the dusk behind
- Like hunted ghosts, whose eyes are white and blind.
-
- The grass is not the grass that overhead
- Cooled my bare feet with daisies' purest snows;
- But thick pale blades, like fingers of the dead
- Thrust from forgotten graves upon their foes.
- Ah--horrid soil! for everything that grows
- In this confine but mocks in wicked scorn
- The fairness of the land where I was born.

-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 are 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 information page at www.gutenberg.org
-
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

-
-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 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 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.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
-
- 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.

-copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to
-protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm concept and trademark. Project
-Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
-charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission. If you
-do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the
-rules is very easy. You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose
-such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and
-research. They may be modified and printed and given away--you may do
-practically ANYTHING with public domain eBooks. Redistribution is
-subject to the trademark license, especially commercial
-redistribution.

-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 are 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.

-and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4

-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 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 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.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
-
- 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.
