The World - - CHRISTMAS SONG - - LONDON - - THE MOTHER - - A SPRING DAY - - JUNE, 1917 - - - - -These are chiefly songs of women's work, but there is a Christmas -song for soldiers. The music of life is stilled to-day. Only the -bugle note is heard. To the men in the trenches it means action, -organized and perfected; to us at home it repeats the call. These -songs are bound in crimson for that is the colour of courage; and in -gold which signifies the strength and the joy of life which is work. - - - - - THE NEW JOAN - - - - THE VISION - - A soldier's soul returns the centuries down-- - Radiance again! Love's gleaming mystic mate, - She who was burned for witchcraft and for state - In the old market-place of Rouen town. - - To-day I met her spirit on the Earth, - And felt a joyous light dark spaces fill; - I knew this troubled planet called her still - Upon the wheel of reincarnate birth. - - "Behold a legion of all-souls," she said, - "Who ride again for country and for King, - And with them, as the ardent sun with spring, - See the enchanted ones that life calls dead." - - "Woman and man, renewing faith's old tryst, - Breast, shuddering, the deeps of this last war, - And high above them gleams the stranger-star, - Silver in blood-red skies--the grail of Christ." - - "O you who see a vision in the night, - And you who ride high-hearted, woman-man, - I call you by the name of The New Joan." - So passed she, clad in armour, clad in light. - - - - I - - THE CHILD - - Give me a new soul, God of all things free, - Help me to dream the golden dream of youth, - Till gazing deep into the eyes of Truth - The dream returns in life that is to be. - - With Thee I breathe a fire most strange and bright, - Rosy as dawning, jubilant as day, - A light eternal on the time-worn way, - A morning note to stir the agèd night. - - To sing the song of flower-time again - It is to deck with joy an ancient door,-- - A fresh rose, cosmic of each rose before, - To link with wonder in the endless chain. - - And as they play mid stars or 'neath the sun - I ask a song for children everywhere, - A gleam that dances with them unaware - Since God, and they, and joy, are wholly One. - - - - II - - THE LAW - - If Law be given my hand to make - I pray Thee, Lord, that I may break - The old Law, resolute and hard - And fickle as a chance-thrown card. - - And ere I lay me down to sleep - I pray Thee, Lord, new Law to keep, - Great statutes made of Love and Pain, - Beauty of Sorrow born again. - - For I would find out Truth, my Lord, - The soul behind the naked word, - And at the bourne where life began - I would inquire the law for man. - - Perhaps a Voice may answer me - That until man in woman be, - Woman in man, the two in one, - The latter days have not begun. - - The woman-will of man a part, - The more-of-man in woman's heart, - From that great marriage pure of flaw - May spring the Everlasting Law. - - - - III - - THE KITCHEN - - "_Whoever makes a thing more bright - He is an angel of all light_" - So I, with every skill I can, - Return to use of pot and pan. - - Retrieve must I the ages' waste, - And learn that what the years call 'Taste,' - Is Hunger's sated brother, Sin. - Lo, I shall dwell where Truths begin. - - A kingdom enter, ancient, dear, - Where red Fire lives, and Plenties are, - Where Order summoned back to me - Makes Labor sing, makes Beauty free. - - So shall I take the golden wheat - And make me loaves for men to eat; - For I am Joan, whose pure desire - Still keeps aflame the household fire. - - - - IV - - THE LAND - - I am back on the land of my fathers, - And I tread it with double-soled boots, - I hoe it with hands that are toil-worn - Wearing joyful and picturesque suits. - - I am clad, head to foot, in dull khaki - That echoes my good mother--Earth, - And I'm glad that my profile is "boyish," - That my "song" is a whistle of mirth. - - I can cut and convey to my cabin - These logs that I need for the fire, - And I hail the concern of each slacker - Who is ribald anent my attire. - - I am doing his bit, though he lingers. - I am Joan--and not Peter Pan. - Yet the vision that glows through my working - Is the love that I bear to one man. - - - - V - - THE BATTLEFIELD* - - *This poem first appeared as "Grey-Knitting." - - - Something sings gently through the din of battle, - Something spreads very softly rim on rim - And every soldier hears, at times, a murmur - Tender, incessant,--dim. - - A tiny click of little wooden needles, - Elfin amid the gianthood of war; - Whispers of women, tireless and patient, - Who weave the web afar. - - Whispers of women, tireless and patient, - "This is our heart's love," it would seem to say, - "Wrought with the ancient tools of our vocation, - Weave we the web of love from day to day." - - And so each soldier, laughing, fighting,--dying - Under the alien skies, in his great hour, - May listen, in death's prescience all-enfolding, - And hear a fairy sound bloom like a flower-- - - I like to think that soldiers, gaily dying - For the white Christ on fields with shame sown deep, - May hear the tender song of women's needles, - As they fall fast asleep. - - - - VI - - THE WORLD - - It is a new world that my feet must tread, - New, though the hurrying ages call it old, - While fields that yesterday were cloth-of-gold - Are all dissolving, like a film half-fled. - - The wondrous 'stage' of life, its mimic joys; - The deft accomplishment, the bubble fame; - Statecraft bedecked as a career, a name; - Art as a servitor that wealth employs-- - - These were the worlds our mothers counted new, - These were the ways we still had kept our own, - Until Eternal Law from His high throne - Melted our world in sudden fire, and dew. - - And now through mists of dew, through leaping flame - We ride again upon an ancient quest, - That we may bring Love home, no longer guest - But Love Triumphant, ever to remain. - - See the bright banner a new Day outflings; - It shall be ours to hold it high and white. - Again a Voice! And out of dawning light - The deathless soul of Joan through us sings. - - _Spirit of Life, radiant and glad and free, - Come, as of old, be born again of me. - Through me recover that which man has lost, - Mine was the making, mine the precious cost. - Out of my body come the sons of men, - Into my keeping give their souls again, - And let me make this world God's little room - Wherein Love's splendours live again and bloom._ - - - - - CHRISTMAS SONG - - _To You--Beloved--in the Trenches_ - - - Christmas! Is it merry? - "Smokes and bully-beef!" - Not one blood-red berry - Not one holly-leaf. - - Stockings filled with pleasure - That a day destroys-- - Boxes crammed with treasure - Ah! Trench-children's toys! - - "Things" that in the passing - Bring a ray of light, - "Joy!" with death amassing - All this Christmas night. - - "Stories!" Yes! and "Laughter!" - And the heart held high; - Silence following after - And the soul's still cry. - - Yet another feast day - In the mud of France-- - "Hearts," we can at least say, - "Onward goes the dance." - - "There is no cessation - To this small affair, - On with war's vocation - In the hell-fire's flare." - - * * * * - - It is true as spoken - With the one word more: - We have found a token - By hell's open door. - - Through Death's crimson gateway - We have seen a sign - That has made this Birthday - Still a night divine. - - Through the first sweet silence, - Darkness, close and near, - Has disarmed hell's violence-- - Night has whispered clear. - - "Though all Earth be broken - Two things live above, - These--God's ancient token-- - Quiet stars--and Love. - - "Stars for life's last reaping, - Stars in heaven's bright dome, - Love for your safe keeping - Love to lead you home." - - - - - LONDON - - _A Canadian soldier, returned to "Blighty" speaks_ - - - The day we came to London! Oh, how strange - To see the City-of-the-World like this! - Our dreams had been of London. Not 'the sights' - But that young London that young hearts explore; - The Music Halls, the roads, the sleepy Inns, - Where old Romance is felt anew each day. - This was to be our London. - - Thus we came: - We came as cattle come, when packed too tight - In some barbaric car of ancient mould; - We came not driven with whips, nor massed in crowds, - But driven by bitter pain and almost dead - From faintness of our wounds. We came - From siege and rapine, plunder and hell-fire, - From thunders never ceasing, from swift death, - From screams and cries, and parting gasp of souls, - And from supremest vision given to man. - This way we came to London. - - Oh, my friends, - We touched white cliffs upon a summer day, - Pain-blinded, minds befogged, we rode along - That ancient-traversed way of all the world. - And, slowly, as the evening shadows fell - We reached old Paddington. Were driven out - In shabby cabs, through misty, half-lit ways, - Into a great wide Place, from whence small streets - Wondered zig-zag with no apparent plan, - _Yet knew we were at home._ - - I still can feel - The cab stop for a moment, and a face - Peer in the open window. 'Twas a mask - Set in a flowered hat. With awful eyes - She stared, and asked, and answered in a flash: - "Ah, well! You're nearly dead, poor dears, but I-- - I, who am here forever, come again." - - And then we drifted on, and soft grey walls - Held us a moment to dissolve in mist. - Once at a turn I saw the Abbey rise - And once the outstretched arms of giant trees. - Sometimes a light, but always murmurous noise - Not so much hoof-beat, motor-hum or cry, - As vibrancy of voices, far and near, - A myriad-mingled sound of many men. - This, and a strange new vision of the heart, - A love just dawning, an age-old surprise, - A sudden turning to those splendid arms - That are forever open. Thus we came - Broken by war, home to her splendid arms. - - - - - THE MOTHER - - My son sails high - His ocean, azure air: - He in the shining sky-- - And swift Death everywhere. - - His ardent youth - Explores a strange new sea - As if even Death, forsooth, - Were rare good company. - - And my dear heart, - Each moment that you fly - Is a dull eon apart - In my soul's agony. - - This autumn wind - Treacherous, hungry,--chill, - Those laughing wings may find - And rend, and still. - - The earth-force, strong, - Ready to lure your bark, - May hum a homing-song - And draw you to the dark. - - O golden Fire, - Whose course is never run, - Outshine all dark desire - And keep my son. - - - - - A SPRING DAY - - O, March, he is a loud-foot lad, - Nor pipes as April can, - But this green day he brings again, - An olive-branch to man. - - His emerald hours are promises - Set in the snow-white days; - And slowly moves Earth's miracle - Along the hidden ways. - - As peace is paler than red war, - The crocus than the rose, - So Life comes whispering up the land - A word that whitely glows. - - And not in azure Arcady - Or where great battles ring, - Is felt the everlasting hope - That is the heart of Spring; - - But in the spirit of the race - That holds a vision clear, - And plucks the flower of fadeless dream, - Through soldier as through seer. - - - - - JUNE, 1917 - - The road runs green again, my friend, - That yesterday lay white, - And shadows deep as violets - Are washed away in light. - - For northward mounts the eagle sun, - And Spring in silver sheen - Has set some blood-red flowers aflame - Along the road grown green. - - The bugle's note, the robin's note, - A trio make with June, - And laughing Life, and ardent Death, - They will be wedding soon. - - But O, the splendor of the way! - And O, the magic sheen - That hath enmeshed God's flower-of-love - Along the road of green! - - - - - Warwick Bro's & Rutter, Limited, - Printers and Bookbinders, Toronto, Canada. - - - - - - - - - - - - -End of Project Gutenberg's The New Joan and Other Poems, by Katherine Hale - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE NEW JOAN AND OTHER POEMS *** - -***** This file should be named 63154-8.txt or 63154-8.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/6/3/1/5/63154/ - -Produced by Al Haines -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United -States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.

Many small donations -($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt -status with the IRS. - -The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating -charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United -States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a -considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up -with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations -where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND -DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular -state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate - -While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we -have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition -against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who -approach us with offers to donate. - -International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make -any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from -outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. - -Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation -methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other -ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To -donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate - -Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. - -Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project -Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be -freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and -distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of -volunteer support. - -Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed -editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in -the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not -necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper -edition. - -Most people start at our 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. - diff --git a/old/63154-8.zip b/old/63154-8.zip Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index ea1ecba..0000000 --- a/old/63154-8.zip +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/63154-h.zip b/old/63154-h.zip Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 32fbba6..0000000 --- a/old/63154-h.zip +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/63154-h/63154-h.htm b/old/63154-h/63154-h.htm deleted file mode 100644 index 6b1c6bd..0000000 --- a/old/63154-h/63154-h.htm +++ /dev/null @@ -1,1235 +0,0 @@ -<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" - "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> - -<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"> - -<head> - -<link rel="coverpage" href="images/img-cover.jpg" /> - -<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> - -<title> -The Project Gutenberg eBook of The New Joan and Other Poems, by Katherine Hale -</title> - -<style type="text/css"> -body { color: black; - background: white; - margin-right: 10%; - margin-left: 10%; - font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; - text-align: justify } - -p {text-indent: 4% } - -p.noindent {text-indent: 0% } - -p.t1 {text-indent: 0% ; - font-size: 200%; - text-align: center } - -p.t2 {text-indent: 0% ; - font-size: 150%; - text-align: center } - -p.t2b {text-indent: 0% ; - font-size: 150%; - font-weight: bold; - text-align: center } - -p.t3 {text-indent: 0% ; - font-size: 100%; - text-align: center } - -p.t3b {text-indent: 0% ; - font-size: 100%; - font-weight: bold; - text-align: center } - -p.t4 {text-indent: 0% ; - font-size: 80%; - text-align: center } - -p.t4b {text-indent: 0% ; - font-size: 80%; - font-weight: bold; - text-align: center } - -p.t5 {text-indent: 0% ; - font-size: 60%; - text-align: center } - -h1 { text-align: center } -h2 { text-align: center } -h3 { text-align: center } -h4 { text-align: center } -h5 { text-align: center } - -p.poem {text-indent: 0%; - margin-left: 10%; } - -p.thought {text-indent: 0% ; - letter-spacing: 4em ; - text-align: center } - -p.letter {text-indent: 0%; - margin-left: 10% ; - margin-right: 10% } - -p.footnote {text-indent: 0% ; - font-size: 80%; - margin-left: 10% ; - margin-right: 10% } - -.smcap { font-variant: small-caps } - -p.transnote {text-indent: 0% ; - margin-left: 10% ; - margin-right: 10% } - -p.intro {font-size: 90% ; - text-indent: -5% ; - margin-left: 5% ; - margin-right: 0% } - -p.quote {text-indent: 4% ; - margin-left: 0% ; - margin-right: 0% } - -p.finis { font-size: larger ; - text-align: center ; - text-indent: 0% ; - margin-left: 0% ; - margin-right: 0% } - -</style> - -</head> - -<body> - - -<pre> - -Project Gutenberg's The New Joan and Other Poems, by Katherine Hale - -This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and most -other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no restrictions -whatsoever.

"Who ride again for country and for King,<br /> - And with them, as the ardent sun with spring,<br /> - See the enchanted ones that life calls dead."<br /> -</p> - -<p class="poem"> - "Woman and man, renewing faith's old tryst,<br /> -

The dream returns in life that is to be.<br /> -</p> - -<p class="poem"> - With Thee I breathe a fire most strange and bright,<br /> - Rosy as dawning, jubilant as day,<br /> - A light eternal on the time-worn way,<br /> - A morning note to stir the agèd night.<br /> -</p> - -<p class="poem"> - To sing the song of flower-time again<br /> - It is to deck with joy an ancient door,—<br /> - A fresh rose, cosmic of each rose before,<br /> - To link with wonder in the endless chain.<br /> -</p> - -<p class="poem"> - And as they play mid stars or 'neath the sun<br /> - I ask a song for children everywhere,<br /> - A gleam that dances with them unaware<br /> - Since God, and they, and joy, are wholly One.<br /> -</p> - -<p><br /><br /></p> - -<h3> -<a id="law"></a> - II<br /> -<br /> - THE LAW<br /> -</h3> - -<p class="poem"> - If Law be given my hand to make<br /> -

Return to use of pot and pan.<br /> -</p> - -<p class="poem"> - Retrieve must I the ages' waste,<br /> - And learn that what the years call 'Taste,'<br /> - Is Hunger's sated brother, Sin.<br /> - Lo, I shall dwell where Truths begin.<br /> -</p> -

That my "song" is a whistle of mirth.<br /> -</p> - -<p class="poem"> - I can cut and convey to my cabin<br /> - These logs that I need for the fire,<br /> - And I hail the concern of each slacker<br /> - Who is ribald anent my attire.<br /> -</p> - -<p class="poem"> - I am doing his bit, though he lingers.<br /> - I am Joan—and not Peter Pan.<br /> - Yet the vision that glows through my working<br /> -

Whispers of women, tireless and patient,<br /> - "This is our heart's love," it would seem to say,<br /> - "Wrought with the ancient tools of our vocation,<br /> - Weave we the web of love from day to day."<br /> -</p> - -<p class="poem"> - And so each soldier, laughing, fighting,—dying<br /> - Under the alien skies, in his great hour,<br /> - May listen, in death's prescience all-enfolding,<br /> - And hear a fairy sound bloom like a flower—<br /> -</p> - -<p class="poem"> - I like to think that soldiers, gaily dying<br /> - For the white Christ on fields with shame sown deep,<br /> - May hear the tender song of women's needles,<br /> - As they fall fast asleep.<br /> -</p> -

While fields that yesterday were cloth-of-gold<br /> - Are all dissolving, like a film half-fled.<br /> -</p> - -<p class="poem"> - The wondrous 'stage' of life, its mimic joys;<br /> - The deft accomplishment, the bubble fame;<br /> - Statecraft bedecked as a career, a name;<br /> - Art as a servitor that wealth employs—<br /> -</p> - -<p class="poem"> - These were the worlds our mothers counted new,<br /> - These were the ways we still had kept our own,<br /> - Until Eternal Law from His high throne<br /> - Melted our world in sudden fire, and dew.<br /> -</p> - -<p class="poem"> - And now through mists of dew, through leaping flame<br /> - We ride again upon an ancient quest,<br /> - That we may bring Love home, no longer guest<br /> - But Love Triumphant, ever to remain.<br /> -</p> - -<p class="poem"> - See the bright banner a new Day outflings;<br /> - It shall be ours to hold it high and white.<br /> - Again a Voice! And out of dawning light<br /> - The deathless soul of Joan through us sings.<br /> -</p> - -<p class="poem"> - <i>Spirit of Life, radiant and glad and free,<br /> - Come, as of old, be born again of me.<br /> - Through me recover that which man has lost,<br /> - Mine was the making, mine the precious cost.<br /> - Out of my body come the sons of men,<br /> - Into my keeping give their souls again,<br /> - And let me make this world God's little room<br /> - Wherein Love's splendours live again and bloom.</i><br /> -</p> - -<p><br /><br /><br /></p> - -<h3> -<a id="christmas"></a> - CHRISTMAS SONG -</h3> - -<p class="t3"> - <i>To You—Beloved—in the Trenches</i><br /> -</p> - -<p><br /></p> - -<p> - Christmas!

Oh, how strange<br /> - To see the City-of-the-World like this!<br /> - Our dreams had been of London. Not 'the sights'<br /> - But that young London that young hearts explore;<br /> - The Music Halls, the roads, the sleepy Inns,<br /> - Where old Romance is felt anew each day.<br /> - This was to be our London.<br /> -</p> - -<p> - Thus we came:<br /> - We came as cattle come, when packed too tight<br /> - In some barbaric car of ancient mould;<br /> - We came not driven with whips, nor massed in crowds,<br /> - But driven by bitter pain and almost dead<br /> - From faintness of our wounds. We came<br /> - From siege and rapine, plunder and hell-fire,<br /> - From thunders never ceasing, from swift death,<br /> - From screams and cries, and parting gasp of souls,<br /> - And from supremest vision given to man.<br /> - This way we came to London.<br /> -</p> - -<p> - Oh, my friends,<br /> - We touched white cliffs upon a summer day,<br /> - Pain-blinded, minds befogged, we rode along<br /> - That ancient-traversed way of all the world.<br /> - And, slowly, as the evening shadows fell<br /> - We reached old Paddington. Were driven out<br /> - In shabby cabs, through misty, half-lit ways,<br /> - Into a great wide Place, from whence small streets<br /> - Wondered zig-zag with no apparent plan,<br /> - <i>Yet knew we were at home.</i><br /> -</p> - -<p> - I still can feel<br /> - The cab stop for a moment, and a face<br /> - Peer in the open window. 'Twas a mask<br /> - Set in a flowered hat. With awful eyes<br /> - She stared, and asked, and answered in a flash:<br /> - "Ah, well! You're nearly dead, poor dears, but I—<br /> - I, who am here forever, come again."<br /> -</p> - -<p> - And then we drifted on, and soft grey walls<br /> - Held us a moment to dissolve in mist.<br /> - Once at a turn I saw the Abbey rise<br /> - And once the outstretched arms of giant trees.<br /> - Sometimes a light, but always murmurous noise<br /> - Not so much hoof-beat, motor-hum or cry,<br /> - As vibrancy of voices, far and near,<br /> - A myriad-mingled sound of many men.<br /> - This, and a strange new vision of the heart,<br /> - A love just dawning, an age-old surprise,<br /> - A sudden turning to those splendid arms<br /> - That are forever open. Thus we came<br /> - Broken by war, home to her splendid arms.<br /> -</p> - -<p><br /><br /><br /></p> - -<h3> -<a id="mother"></a> - THE MOTHER<br /> -</h3> - -<p class="poem"> - My son sails high<br /> - His ocean, azure air:<br /> - He in the shining sky—<br /> - And swift Death everywhere.<br /> -</p> - -<p class="poem"> - His ardent youth<br /> - Explores a strange new sea<br /> - As if even Death, forsooth,<br /> - Were rare good company.<br /> -</p> - -<p class="poem"> - And my dear heart,<br /> - Each moment that you fly<br /> - Is a dull eon apart<br /> - In my soul's agony.<br /> -</p> - -<p class="poem"> - This autumn wind<br /> - Treacherous, hungry,—chill,<br /> - Those laughing wings may find<br /> - And rend, and still.<br /> -</p> - -<p class="poem"> - The earth-force, strong,<br /> - Ready to lure your bark,<br /> - May hum a homing-song<br /> - And draw you to the dark.<br /> -</p> - -<p class="poem"> - O golden Fire,<br /> - Whose course is never run,<br /> - Outshine all dark desire<br /> - And keep my son.<br /> -</p> - -<p><br /><br /><br /></p> - -<h3> -<a id="spring"></a> - A SPRING DAY<br /> -</h3> - -<p class="poem"> - O, March, he is a loud-foot lad,<br /> - Nor pipes as April can,<br /> - But this green day he brings again,<br /> - An olive-branch to man.<br /> -</p> - -<p class="poem"> - His emerald hours are promises<br /> - Set in the snow-white days;<br /> - And slowly moves Earth's miracle<br /> - Along the hidden ways.<br /> -</p> - -<p class="poem"> - As peace is paler than red war,<br /> - The crocus than the rose,<br /> - So Life comes whispering up the land<br /> - A word that whitely glows.<br /> -</p> - -<p class="poem"> - And not in azure Arcady<br /> - Or where great battles ring,<br /> - Is felt the everlasting hope<br /> - That is the heart of Spring;<br /> -</p> - -<p class="poem"> - But in the spirit of the race<br /> - That holds a vision clear,<br /> - And plucks the flower of fadeless dream,<br /> - Through soldier as through seer.<br /> -</p> - -<p><br /><br /><br /></p> - -<h3> -<a id="june1917"></a> - JUNE, 1917<br /> -</h3> - -<p class="poem"> - The road runs green again, my friend,<br /> - That yesterday lay white,<br /> - And shadows deep as violets<br /> - Are washed away in light.<br /> -</p> - -<p class="poem"> - For northward mounts the eagle sun,<br /> - And Spring in silver sheen<br /> - Has set some blood-red flowers aflame<br /> - Along the road grown green.<br /> -</p> - -<p class="poem"> - The bugle's note, the robin's note,<br /> - A trio make with June,<br /> - And laughing Life, and ardent Death,<br /> - They will be wedding soon.<br /> -</p> - -<p class="poem"> - But O, the splendor of the way!<br /> - And O, the magic sheen<br /> - That hath enmeshed God's flower-of-love<br /> - Along the road of green!<br /> -</p> - -<p><br /><br /><br /></p> - -<p class="t4"> - Warwick Bro's & Rutter, Limited,<br /> - Printers and Bookbinders, Toronto, Canada.<br /> -</p> - -<p><br /><br /><br /><br /></p> - - - - - - - - -<pre> - - - - - -End of Project Gutenberg's The New Joan and Other Poems, by Katherine Hale - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE NEW JOAN AND OTHER POEMS *** - -***** This file should be named 63154-h.htm or 63154-h.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/6/3/1/5/63154/ - -Produced by Al Haines -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United -States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.
