All else have perished, - Ye only are left me. - (_Set to Music by Cecil J. A. Birkett_). - - - - - Hope. - - (_Song_). - - - A snowy vessel, with gleaming sails, - I choose from the harbor there; - Not a thought give I to wintry gales, - Nor weary waves of care. - I only dream of skies of blue, - And a shimmering, summer sea; - I only think of a friendship true, - And a loved one waiting for me. - - The years, the years, may intervene, - But my light-winged barque and I - Care not for the time that lies between, - Nor the slow hours creeping by. - I only see the white peace shore - That my feet shall surely press; - I only dream of the voyage o’er, - And the love that my heart will bless. - - - - - Thou Art Near. - - (_Song_). - - - Crimson leaves are falling o’er me, - Autumn zephyrs fan my brow, - Strange weird fancies flit before me, - Surely I am dreaming now! - Woodland echoes could not whisper - Gentle words for mortal ear; - Still I hear them, sweetly, clearly, - And I know that thou art near. - - CHORUS: - - Thy sweet spirit lingers near me, - Oh! the joy that thought affords. - Darling, thou art come to cheer me - With thy gentle loving words. - - Oh! my darling, linger near me - As I mingle with the throng; - Whisper softly, I will hear thee - When strange voices tempt to wrong. - Life for me hath hours of sorrow, - Weary days of anxious fear; - But I’ll meet them, strongly, bravely, - If I feel that thou art near. - - CHORUS: - - Thy sweet spirit lingers near me, - Oh! the joy that thought affords - Darling, thou art come to cheer me - With thy gentle loving words. - - - - - Farewell to the Old School-House. - - - They are bearing the forms away, Allie, - The dear old house is condemned; - Let us go and say a sad farewell, - As we would to a cherished friend. - Let us stand for a last, last time, Allie, - In the shade of the grey stone wall, - And dream one dream of the joyous past, - As the twilight shadows fall. - - Remembrance brings us a sketch, Allie, - From the beautiful long ago, - When life was a cloudless summer morn, - Aflush with a crimson glow. - And down through the golden years, Allie, - Comes floating a faultless chime, - A drifting of sweetest memories - From the happy childhood time. - - Faces we cannot forget, Allie, - Smile on us again, as of yore; - And voices, silent for many a year, - Ring in through the open door. - Anon to our listening ears, Allie, - In silvery tones, they bring - Even the old familiar rhymes, - And the songs we used to sing. - - Bright forms that drooped in our sight, Allie, - With a well-remembered grace, - Come back once more to our out-stretched arms, - And are held in a close embrace, - Small, dimpled hands clasp ours, Allie, - That long we have sought in vain; - They lead us o’er many a well-known path, - Down many a moss-grown lane. - - The turf is as soft and green, Allie, - The blue dome above as fair, - The air as fragrant with dewy flowers, - And our hearts as free from care - As when, with our child-eyes veiled, Allie, - From sin, and sorrow and woe, - We could see the flashing of Angels’ wings - And hear their whispers low. - - And the violets bloom again, Allie, - As they did in the days gone by; - And heaven seems just as near as then, - Afloat in the sunny sky. - A dream? Ah! Yes, ’tis a dream, Allie, - Of the olden childhood bliss; - But who would not give, of the life we live, - Whole years, for one hour like this. - - - - - At Clinics. - - (_An Hospital Incident._) - - - Into the Hall of Death, - Death-doomed! - With all of life’s bright hopes - Entombed; - Beautiful, unforgetable face! - So pale and calm in its trusting grace, - With the shadow stealing on apace, - Death-doomed. - - Eyes, full of suffering - O’ercome, - With a steadfast light within - Their gloom, - Like unto those of a martyred saint, - Patient, enduring, without complaint, - The pain-flash by a gentle restraint - O’ercome. - - He of the practised hand - Stood by, - Knowing the gentle one - Must die, - Watching the face in its sweet content, - Noting the smile of glad assent, - As he spake of life as nearly spent, - Death-nigh. - - * * * * * - - Only an unknown name - Enrolled - On the death-list there--none knew, - Or told - Her story--but, surely a Presence came - Into their midst, as the dear Christ’s name - Was murmured by lips, with love aflame, - Though cold. - - And they who had gathered there - That day, - Young, and joyous, and brave - And gay, - To note, with critical gaze, _a case_, - Silently passed from the hallowed place, - Bearing rememberance of heaven-lit face - Away. - - - - - Beyond. - - - And the Angel said “Nay! - “But reckon the years of your life once again, - “Not a thousand, one day, - “But one day, as a thousand years!” Then - How clear it all seemed! - I _had_ lived, and I knew it not--_Lived!_ - And I thought I but dreamed, - So brief a time-space I had lived. - - * * * * * - - And the Angel said “Read!” - And the story of life op’ed before me; - Wakened Soul!

He fashioned each one, - His the care for the vessel, the final “Well done”-- - Nor fineness of texture, nor beauty, nor grace, - But fitness for service, determines its place. - - - - - Indifference. - - - If a soul is struggling alone in the dark, - When the flood-gates are open, and doubt waves loom high; - And you, in your white-canvassed, well balanced barque, - Should unfurl its strong sails, and calmly pass by; - And that soul be o’erwhelmed, borne ruthlessly down - ’Neath the pitiless waves--what gladness or cheer - Could come to your soul, when the darkness has flown, - Though the bright golden morning, break ever so clear? - - - - - Autumn. - - - Bonny birds, bonny birds, - Wherefore are ye singing? - Know ye not, care ye not - That the wild-wood, ringing - With your songs, joyous songs, - Autumn’s shroud is weaving? - Better far, better far, - Were ye silent grieving. - - Sunbeam bright, Sunbeam bright, - Why through brown boughs peeping? - Know ye not; heed ye not, - That the flowers are sleeping? - Northern blasts, wintry blasts, - Pitilessly brake them. - Ye are come all too late, - Ever more to wake them. - - Early dreams, Early dreams - Through dim heart-aisles flaunting; - Come not now, come not now, - Ruined temples haunting. - Waken not, waken not, - Hopes, that but deceive me, - Once so dear. Ay! so dear! - Now ye only grieve me. - - - - - Photographed. - - - Good evening, Cousin! I’ve come, you see, - Just as I promised; long ago, - Don’t look so astonished--Welcome me! - I’ve had a weary journey, you know. - The Artist has done his best to please, - Touched, and retouched, and polished well; - Chosen a posture of perfect ease, - Chattered of more than I can tell. - - I asked him, half jesting, to flatter me, - For I need not be told that my face is plain; - And when photos are starting ‘over the Sea’ - I feel in my heart I’m a trifle vain. - He smiled, then said to my strange request, - “Beauty ’bove that of the face, for me; - “Nature has given a richer bequest - “Than perfect form of feature, to thee.” - - My foolish heart felt a joyous thrill-- - “He gives me credit for mental worth,” - And fancy led me on, until - I stood by the noble and true of Earth. - Said I, “Thought is better than monarch’s crown, - “Better be great and good, than fair;” - But alas! My castles came tumbling down - When I found he was talking about--_my hair_. - - - - - At Even. - - - Too weary to dream, - Too languid to pray, - Though with dreams and with prayers - I would fill the whole day; - For I love to dream, - And I fain would pray; - But I work the whole day, - And dream when I may, - And scarcely have ever - A moment to pray. - - This toiling, plodding, - Prayerless elf; - Or, this soulful, mindful, - Inner self; - Thro’ numberless hours, - Or moments few, - Which is the false, - And which the true? - For I love to dream, - And I fain would pray; - But I work the whole day, - And dream when I may, - And scarcely have ever - A moment to pray. - - - - - A Woman’s “Because.” - - - I think it were better to thoughtfully pause, - And consider one moment a woman’s “Because,” - Than to smile in a high supercilious way, - As though all were said, she could possibly say. - I think, if a miracle were to disclose - The thoughts, that behind this one word arose, - And marshalled themselves, each bearing its part, - Some straight from the head, some straight from the heart; - That you who can glibly and easily speak, - For utterance-word having seldom to seek, - Sometimes saying more than you mean; and again - Speaking carelessly, heedless to whom you give pain; - If such insight were granted unto you, I say - You would hush your heart in a startled way, - For behind the brief word, to your great surprise, - Reason and logical thinking would rise. - Impulses, springing from Truth’s hidden laws, - Oft underlying a woman’s “Because”! - - ’Tis not there is little, but so much, to tell, - That she fails to express herself clearly and well; - And the Age is so new wherein candor and grace - Dare acknowledge themselves from the selfsame place. - _Adolphus_ is trained in the Art of Expression, - While the virtue impressed on _Aileen_ is Repression, - Through childhood and maidenhood, taught to _conceal_, - The _woman_ oft finds it hard to reveal - Most earnest conviction, and loftiest thought, - With opinions of weightiest import inwrought. - While in this New Age there are questions, involving - The fate of the race, which await her resolving, - She dare not yet speak, untutored and callow, - Lest her speaking appear pedantic or shallow. - None so keen as herself, in herself to find flaws, - Thus, though feeling and knowing, she answers--“Because!” - - Then too, that is hers, which men call Intuition, - As though books alone revealed true erudition; - --What ’tis called, matters not--it exists--and its naming - Is unworthy alike either praising or blaming; - By its light, woman’s gaze pierces clouds strangely riven; - And a clearer perception unto her is given - Of all that is noble and worthily leal, - Than you have beheld in your fairest ideal. - Thus, even if language were hers, to express - Just what her soul sees, nothing more, nothing less; - It were useless to speak, for none would commend, - The many would scoff, and few comprehend! - Not till “Cause and Effect” have recognised laws, - Can you possibly fathom a woman’s “Because!” - - - - - Content. - - - A high steep cliff, a shelving beach, - A world of waters stretching before, - A moonbeam-path down the starry reach; - And no other soul along the shore. - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of A "booklet of verse", by -Rozelle V.
