LE VIOL D’AMOUR. - - (An Organ-stop.) - - O soft, caressing sound, more sweet than scent - Of violets in woody hollows! Tone - As amorous as the ring-dove’s tender moan - Beneath the spreading forest’s leafy tent; - What mystery of earth or air hath lent - Thee that bewitching music, where the drone - Of Summer bees in dewy buds new blown - With trembling, fainting melody is blent? - What master did conceive thee, as the sound - Most fit to woo his lady from her rest, - What wakeful maiden in thy wooing found - The passion of her lover first exprest, - And from her silken pillows, beauty-crowned, - Stept forth and smiled on him who loved her best? - - _November 10th, 1875._ - - [Illustration] - - - - - [Illustration] - - - II. VESPERS. - - It is the vesper hour, and in yon aisle - Where fainting incense clouds the heavy air - My lady’s kneeling at her evening prayer, - Alone and silently; for in a file - The choristers have passed, and left her there, - Where martyrs from the tinted windows stare, - And saints look downward with a holy smile - Upon her meek devotions, while the day - Fades slowly, and a tender amber light - From coloured panes about her head doth play-- - Her veil falls like a shade, and ghostly white - Her clasped hands glimmer through the deepening gray; - So will she kneel, until from Heaven’s height - The Angels bend to hear their sister pray. - - _November 11th, 1875._ - - [Illustration] - - - - - [Illustration] - - - III. BETTINE TO GOETHE. - - “Be friendly, pray, with these fancies of mine.” BETTINE. - - Could youth discrown thy head of its gray hair, - I could not love it as I love it now; - Could one grand line be smoothed from thy brow, - ’Twould seem to me less stately and less fair. - O no, be as thou art! For thou dost wear - The signs of noble age that cannot bow - Thine intellect like thy form, and I who know - How each year that did visibly impair - Thy first fresh youth, left inwardly such grand - And gracious gifts, would rather have thee so-- - Believe me, master, who erect doth stand - In soul and purpose, age cannot lay low - Till he receive, new from the Father’s hand - The youth he did but outwardly forego. - - _April, 1876._ - - [Illustration] - - - - - Spring Song. - - “O primavera! Gioventù dell’ anno.” - - - The first warm buds that break their covers, - The first young twigs that burst in green, - The first blade that the sun discovers, - Starting the loosened earth between. - - The pale soft sky, so clear and tender, - With little clouds that break and fly; - The crocus, earliest pretender - To the low breezes passing by; - - The chirp and twitter of brown builders, - A couple in a tree, at least; - The watchful wisdom of the elders - For callow younglings in the nest; - - The flush of branches with fair blossoms, - The deepening of the faint green boughs, - As leaf by leaf the crown grows fuller - That binds the young Spring’s rosy brows; - - New promise every day of sweetness, - The next bright dawn is sure to bring; - Slow breaking into green completeness, - Fresh rapture of the early Spring! - - _May, 1876._ - - - - - Prophecies of Summer. - - - I found a wee leaf in the cleft - Where the half-melted ice had left - A sunny corner, moist and warm, - For it to bud, beyond all harm. - The wet, brown sod, - Long horned with ice, had slowly grown - So soft, the tender seedling blown - By Autumn winds, in earliest Spring - Sent through the sun-warmed covering, - Its little leaf to God. - - I found it there, beneath a ledge, - The dawning Spring time’s fairest pledge, - And to my mind it dimly brought - The sudden, joyous, leafy thought - Of Summer-time. - I plucked it from the sheltered cleft - Which the more kindly ice had left. - Within my hand to drop and die, - But for its sweet suggestions, I - Revive it in a rhyme. - - _1876._ - - - - - [Illustration] - - Song. - - - O Love, where are the hours fled, - The hours of our young delight? - Are they forever gone and dead, - Or only vanished out of sight? - - O can it be that we shall live - To know once more the joys gone by, - To feel the old, deep love revive, - And smile again before we die? - - Could I but fancy it might be, - Could I the past bring back again, - And for one moment, holding thee, - Forget the present and its pain! - - O Love, those hours are past away - Beyond our longing and our sighs-- - Perhaps the Angels, some bright day, - Will give them back in Paradise! - - _August, 1876._ - - [Illustration] - - - - - Heaven. - - - Not over roof and spire doth Heaven lie, - Star-sentinelled from our humanity, - Beyond the humble reach of every day. - And only near us when we weep or pray; - But rather in the household and the street, - Where loudest is the noise of hurrying feet, - Where hearts beat thickest, where our duties call, - Where watchers sit, where tears in silence fall. - We know not, or forget, there is no line - That marks our human off from our divine; - For all one household, all one family - In different chamberings labouring are we; - God leaves the doors between them open wide, - Knowing how life and death are close allied, - And though across the threshold, in the gloom, - We cannot see into that other room, - It may be that the dear ones watching there - Can hear our cry of passionate despair, - And wait unseen to lead us through the door - When twilight comes, and all our work is o’er. - - _January, 1877._ - - - - - [Illustration] - - “Maiden, Arise.” - - - She, whom through life her God forbade to hear - The voices of her nearest and most dear, - So that she dwelt, amid the hum and rush - Of cities, in a vast, eternal hush, - Yet heard the first low calling of the voice - That others had not heeded in the noise, - And rising, when it whispered “Come with me,” - Followed the form that others could not see, - Smiling, perchance, in death at last to hear - The voices of the Angels fill her ear, - While the great, silent void that closed her round - Was overflowed with rippled floods of sound, - And the dumb past in Alleluias drowned. - - _March, 1877._ - - [Illustration] - - - - - Spring. - - A Fragment. - - - HILDEGARD. - - It is the time when everything - Is flusht with presage of the Spring, - When every leaf and twig and bud - Feels new life rushing like a flood - Through greening veins and bursting tips; - When every hour a sunbeam slips - Across a sleepy flower’s mouth, - And wakes it, babbling of the South; - When birds are doubtful where or how - To hang their nests on trunk or bough, - And all that is in wood or croft - Beneath an influence balmy-soft - Towards the light begins to strive, - Feeling how good it is to live! - - - WALTHER. - - How beautiful thou standest there, - Thyself a prophet of the May! - The shining of thy golden hair - Would melt December’s snows away. - The roses on thy cheeks would woo - Forth envious blossoms from their sleeps. - And robins plume their breasts anew - To mock the crimson of thy lips. - - - HILDEGARD. - - But where would be the golden tresses, - With ribands bravely intertwined - And where the roses, that thy praises - Have opened like a Summer wind, - Wert thou, my love, my Knight, not here, - To make these empty beauties dear? - The Spring would never deck her train - In such a fair and winsome wise - Did she not seek by smiles to chain - The sun her royal lover’s eyes. - - _1876._ - - [Illustration] - - - - - May Marian. - - - A BALLAD. - - In our town there dwelt a maiden - Whom the folk called Marian; - In her narrow gabled casement - All day long she sat and span. - - Till a gentleman came riding - Through our town one Summer day, - Spied May Marian at the casement, - Stole her silly heart away. - - Then she up and left her spinning, - Laid aside her russet gown, - In a footboy’s cap and mantle - Followed him to London town. - - There he led her to a mansion - Standing by the river side; - “In that mansion dwells the lady - Who is my betrothed bride; - - “Gif thou’lt be her serving-maiden, - Thou shalt wear a braw red gown, - Follow her to mass on Sunday - Through the streets of London town; - - “But if thou’lt not be her maiden, - Turn about and get thee home; - ’Tis not meet that country wenches - Through the city here should roam.” - - Not a word in answer spake she; - Weeping sore she turned away, - And alone she gat her homeward, - Travelling till the fall of day. - - To our town she came at gloaming, - Softly tirled she at the door; - Whispered: “let me in, sweet mother, - I will wander never more.” - - “I will turn me to my spinning, - I will don my russet gown; - Home is best for country lasses, - Men are false in London town.” - - But the door was shut against her, - To her prayer came answer none. - All night long alone she wandered, - Wandered weeping through our town. - - But at dawn she was aweary-- - In the street she laid her down; - And they found her dead at sunrise - With her head upon a stone. - - - MORAL. - - Ladies, listen to my ballad: - Maidens are too lightly won; - Home is best for country lasses, - Men are false in London town. - - _1876._ - - [Illustration] - - - - - [Illustration] - - Opportunities. - - - Who knows his opportunities? They come - Not trumpet-tongued from Heaven, but small and dumb, - Not beckoning from the future’s promised land, - But in the narrow present close at hand. - They walk beside us with unsounding feet, - And like those two that trode the Eastern street - And with their Saviour bartered thought for thought, - Our eyes are holden and we know them not. - - _1878._ - - [Illustration] - - - - - [Illustration] - - “The Last Token.” - - A. D. 107. - - - (She speaks.) - - One minute more of life! Enough to snatch - This flower to my bosom, and to catch - The parting glance and signal overhead - From one who sits and waits to see me dead. - One minute more! Enough to let him see - How straight the message fell from him to me, - And how, his talisman upon my breast, - I’ll face the end as calmly as the rest.-- - Th’ impassive wall of faces seems to break - And shew one face aquiver for my sake * * * - How different death seems, with a hand that throws - Across the pathway of my doom a rose, - How brief and paltry life, compared to this - O’ertoppling moment of supremest bliss! * * * - Farewell! I feel the lions’ hungry breath, - I meet your eyes * * * beloved, this is death. - - _1878._ - - [Illustration] - - - - - Raffaelle to the Fornarina. - - (Sitting to him for a Madonna.) - - - Knot up the filmy strands of golden hair - That veil your breast, yet leave its beauties bare; - In decent ripples backward let it flow, - Smooth-parted sideways from your placid brow. - Unclasp the clinging necklace from your throat, - And let this misty veil about you float, - As round the seraphs of my visions swim - Faint, roseate clouds to make their radiance dim - And bearable to dazzled human eyes, - Uplifted in a rapture of surprise. - Lay off your armlets now, and cover up - With dark blue folds that shoulder’s dimpled slope; - Let naught appear to woo the grosser sense, - But ruling calm, and sacred innocence; - Subdue the pointed twinkle of your eye - Into a level, large serenity, - (Now comes the test) and let your mouth awhile - Be pressed into a faint, ascetic smile, - A pure reflection of the inward thought, - A chastened glow from fires celestial caught. - - _1878._ - - - - - Chriemhild of Burgundy. - - A Fragment. - - - In all the land was not a maid - Could match her beauty white and red; - No decent veil she need to wear, - Deep-mantled in her royal hair, - Dun ripples, shot all through and through - With fiery gold; her eyes were blue - And clearer than a Summer wave - That murmurs in some sunless cave, - And over them her brow shone white, - Like the first low star that pricks the night, - And under them her mouth did redden, - Like ripe red clover, honey-laden; - But white as pear-bloom was her chin, - An elvish dimple played therein; - Her breast stirred softly up and down - Beneath the folding of her gown - As if a bird were prisoned there - That fluttered for the outer air, - And round and comely was each limb, - As doth a royal maid beseem. - - _1878._ - - - - - [Illustration] - - Some Woman to Some Man. - - - We might have loved each other after all, - Have lived and learned together! Yet I doubt it; - You asked, I think, too great a sacrifice, - Or else, perhaps, I rate myself too dear. - Whichever way the difference lies between us, - Would common cares have helped to lessen it, - A common interest, and a common lot? - Who knows indeed? We choose our path, and then - Stand looking back and sighing at our choice, - And say: “Perhaps the other road had led - To fruitful valleys dozing in the sun.” - Perhaps--perhaps--but all things are perhaps, - And either way there lies a doubt, you know. - We’ve but one life to live, and fifty ways - To live it in, and little time to choose - The one in fifty that will suit us best, - And so the end is, that we part, and say: - “We might have loved each other after all!” - - _1878._ - - [Illustration] - - - - - [Illustration] - - Lines on Chaucer. - - - No human pomp suggests his name, - No human pride builds up his fame, - But croft and meadow every where - His presence and his charm declare. - - He was an echo of the woods, - A breath of vernal solitudes, - An annalist of brooks and birds, - Interpreter of sylvan words; - - He worshipt nature where he trod - And still, through nature, worshipt God; - And spotless as the flower he praises - His name still blossoms with the daisies. - - [Illustration] - - - - - What We Shall Say Fifty Years Hence, OF OUR FANCY-DRESS QUADRILLE. - - (Danced at Swanhurst, August 8th, 1878.) - - - Do you remember, long ago, - Our Fancy-dress Quadrille? - Though many a year is past since then - It makes me joyous still, - To think what fun we used to have - When we were young and gay - And danced upon the Swanhurst lawn, - That happy Summer day. - - As Shepherd and as Shepherdess - We trod the graceful round, - In pinks and blues, with buckled shoes, - And crooks with ribands bound; - And as with joyous step we danced - We gaily sang in time - The foolish words and merry tune - Of some old Nursery rhyme. - - But often through the singing broke - A burst of laughter gay, - So young were we, so glad and free, - That happy Summer day! - And hand in hand would linger long, - As through the dance we moved, - For some of us were lovers then, - And some of us were loved. - - Ah, many a year is past since then, - And fled the merry throng, - And yet I hear, at times quite clear, - The echo of our song; - And though our days are Wintry now - I well remember still - The happy Summer day we danced - Our Fancy-dress Quadrille! - - _1878._ - - [Illustration] - - - - - [Illustration] - - Nothing More. - - - ’Twas the old, old story told again, - The story we all have heard; - A glimpse of brightness, parting and pain-- - You know it word for word. - - A stolen picture--a faded rose-- - An evening hushed and bright; - A whisper--perhaps a kiss--who knows? - A handclasp, and “goodnight.” - - The sum of what we call “first love,” - That dreamflower rare and white, - That puts its magic blossom forth - And dies in a single night. - - _1878._ - - [Illustration] - - - - - June and December. - - - When our eyes grow dim and our hair turns grey - And we sit by the fire together, - ’Twill seem strange to talk in a shivering way - Of our Summertime’s rosy weather; - - When our eyes were bright, and our tresses smooth, - And the blood in our veins leapt red, - In the golden dawn of our long lost youth, - With the promise of life ahead. - - Shall we talk with smiles or with sighs that day - Of the years that are dead and gone, - Of the cares and the joys that have passed away - Like dewdrops beneath the sun? - - Nay, perchance we’ll see but the sunny side - Of the vision, in looking back, - And the trace of joys that are past may abide, - Where our sorrow have left no track; - - And perhaps both the joys and the cares may seem - In the light of that later day, - Like the phantom shapes of some beautiful dream - That has long ago passed away. - - But whate’er beside we may lose or hold - From the hoards of the golden past, - May the friends we loved in the days of old - To our hearts and thoughts cling fast, - - And before the days come that are coming soon, - And whose motto is “I remember,” - God grant us one vision of love and June - To brighten our life’s December. - - _October 7th, 1878._ - - [Illustration] - - - - - [Illustration] - - October. - - - A cold grey sea, a cold grey sky - And leafless swaying boughs, - A wind that wanders sadly by, - And moans about the house. - - And in my lonely heart a cry - For days that went before; - For joys that fly, and hopes that die, - And the past that comes no more. - - [Illustration] - - - - - [Illustration] - - A Woman I Know. - - - For a look from her eyes, for a smile of her mouth - Any man might well give the best years of his youth; - For the touch of her hand, for the warmth of her kiss - Might well barter his chances of infinite bliss; - - For her step is like sunlight that plays on the sea - And her bosom is snowy as snowy can be, - And her hair is a mantle inwoven with gold - Such as Queens might have worn in the legends of old; - - And her chin oh so white, and her cheek oh so red, - They might well drive a man who should look at them mad; - But beneath the bright breast where her heart ought to be, - What is there?

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://pglaf.org - -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://pglaf.org/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.
