Dav after day, As I have wandered thro' the fields of life- Gay, happy fields, bright with the sun and sky — Flower after flower Has bloomed beside my path ; And I have gathered them, a long-loved handful, Which I offer now To the unpitying, cruel-laughing world. And some are gay. Sparkling with joy and the bright sun of hope ; And some are sad. Dipped in the crimson of the setting sun, Or blasted by the cold of winter winds ; But all the roots Are down, far down, within the spirit's depths. Amid the voiceless shadows of the soul, And each has sprung From the warm life-blood throbbing in my heart. 1888. 1^ ^ I ' wm CONTENTS. -♦o»- The Soul's Quest Justin Evolution Hymn (after the Prayer of Consecration) Hymn (after receiving the Holy Communion) ...

In the land that is neither night nor day, Where the mists sleep over the forests grey, A sad, sad spirit vvanoered away. The woods are still — no brooks, no wind. No fair green meadows can she find ; But a low red light in the sky behind. Far over the plain, to the spirit's sight. The city's towers are black as night. Against the edge of the low red light. This side the city in darkness lies. But westward, at the glowing skies. It glares with a thousand fiery eyes. B THE SOUL'S QUEST. The road is long, the hedgerows bare, There's the chill of death in the silent air, And a glimmer of darkness everywhere. " O sad, sad spirit, what thy quest, With those flowing locks and that shadowy vest ? " The spirit anii'.vers, " I seek for rest." " Where seekest rest, when the air is cold On the long, dim road, and the clock hath tolled The muffled hours from the belfry old ? " Where seekest rest through the twilight grey Of the mists that sleep on the woods alway ? " — " I seek to-morrow or yesterday ! " Her face is pale, her feet are bare. Her sad dark eyes, wide open, stare At the glimmering darkness everywhere. To those cheeks no rose hath summer brought, But on their pallor time hath wrought The troubled lines of an after-thought. If THE SOWS QUEST. Her arms are crossed upon her breast, Her round limbs shape the shadowy vest, And thus, all silent, seeks she rest. Her tread is light on the cold, hard road ; For the tread may be light, ye.t heavy the load Of grief at the heart and thoughts that goad. She plucks a leaf from the roadway side, And under its shade two violets hide — As if from her cold touch, they hide. She twines the violets in her hair ; They have no scent — she does not care, For the glimmer of darkness is everywhere. And on through the dim of the twilight grey. While the pale sky glo veth far away, She seeks to-morrov/ or yesterday. PART n. " O Abbess, Abbess, the air is chill ! I heard the chaunting over the hill, Like an angel's voice when the soul is still. mm THE SOWS QUEST. " O, Abbess, open wide thy gate ! Out on the cold, dim road 1 wait, A spirit lone and desolate. " Take thou these hands and these weary feet, Cold as a corpse in its wmding-sheet, For the song of the nuns was so strange and sweet. " Here with the sisters let me dwell, Under these walls, in the loneliest cell. Waiting the sound of the matin bell. 4 " Cut off these locks of flowing hair. Cover with weeds this bosom bare. For the glimmer of darkness is everywhere. " Ask not my name, nor whence my way. For the mist sleeps over the wood alway, And I seek to-morrow or yesterday." I ' She's passed beneath the chapel door ; The nuns are kneeling on the floor, But a low wind moaneth evermore. ■' i; THE SOULS QUEST. Sweeter and sweeter the sisters sing, Till high in the roof the echoes ring, For they kr* jvv that God is listening. " Ave Maria, hear our cry. As the shadows roll across the sky, For those that live and those that die ! " Ave Maria, Virgin blest. Help the sin-stained and distrest, Give the weary-hearted rest ! " Ave Maria, who didst bear Jesus in this world of care. Grant us all thy bliss to share ! " Sweeter and sweeter the sisters sing, From arch to arch the echoes ring. For they know that God is listening. Out of the north the oceans roll. Washing the lands from pole to pole : No rest — no rest for the old world's soul. THE sor!:s i,)ri:si\ Tlic after glow of sut\s tlial sot O'er fields with morning ilew oiuc wet, NVhere all life's llowering n)ailways met, Long shadows of our joys has sent, 8U>ping ailown the way wo went Towards ilarkness where o\n- feet are bent. Is it the moan of the evening winil ? Or the voice of the oeean in the mind, While the pale red light looms up behind ? Is It moan of win'i the ocean ? 1 cannot tell ; lUit a voice in her heart has locked the spell. Ill I'! She does not hear the organ's swell ; In vain she strives her beads to tell, For a voice in her heart has locked the spell. She broods among the tangled fears, The undergrowth of perished years, That darken round the lake of tears. 1.1 1 ».i THE soui:s (,)r'/rayer Can shut those eyes' wide-open stare At the glimmering darkness everywhere. The sweetest singing dies away ; No note of birds for those who stray In the land that is neither night nor day. PART III. In the shadowy light of the silent land, With the tall gaunt hedges on either hand, On the long, dim road doth the spirit stand. I it:: THE SOUL'S QUEST. Under the hedges the air is chill, And the mists sleep over the forest still, And are folded like wings on the sides of the hill. Her arms are crossed upon her breast, Her round limbs shape the shadowy vest, Her feet are worn with seeking rest. To her cheeks no rose hath summer brought, While on their pallor time hath wrought The troubled lines of an after-thought. I* 1", But sweet is the gaze of those sad dark eyes, And sweet their look of mute surprise. As something in the road she spies. if !4 Spurned under foot, o'ergrown with moss, Counted of foolish men but loss. On the cold, hard road lies Jesus' cross. In the dim twilight as she stood, She saw the marks of Jesus' Blood, Then stooped and kissed the Holy Rood. riiE sours qulst. 9 There are sounds of joy from the years gone by, There's a pale red h'ght in the forward sky, And a star looks down through the mist on high. Hush ! for the light falls clear from that star, Hush ! for the day-dawn kindles afar, Hush ! for the gate of the sky is ajar. What is the voice of the boundless sea As it clasps the lands excitedly ? Not the voice of the dead, but of what shall be — Of what shall be when the world shall cease, And oceans die in the reign of peace, When God grants pardon and release. O sweetest taste of Jesus' Blood ! Joy bursts upon her like a flood ; The spirit kisseth Holy Rood. A low wind moaneth evermore, The nuns still kneel upon the floor. But Jesus trod this way before. \ WHii 10 /■///•. Mjrr.s (U//':.s/\ She lilts the sa"-': 22 JUSTIN, !n ,■ u Gaining my speech at last, * fain would I know The art that can so charm the sense, — not birds Or aught on earth so beautiful. Could I But follow thee in all thy wanderings. But hear thee play and drink my spirit's fill Of those wild melodies, how would not joy Grow more intense ! After such wakening life Were poor indeed, the common lot of beasts And flowers ; but man I see is higher, (Tho' till this hour content). These strains have roused Immortal sense within of something great ; Unutterable longings chafe the soul. Dreams of the gods, and voices of dead years. The liquid strains so thrilled me with their power That, with expanded consciousness, I saw The birth of empires, heard the rolling spheres, Masts snapped at sea, and, in strange concourse blent, The din of cities, cries of wasted hearts. Marshalling of steeds, ravings of fevered men ; While, over all the moaning of a sea. And faint, a voice growing stronger, * Is this all ? ' If Music has such power. She, and not life. Must be man's good. Oh, let me follow Thee, Her worshipper, for She can satisfy.' JUSTIN. 23 Then, with a smile like sunlight on his face, He sang this song in answer, carelessly — * Soul, glad Soul, what wert thou without song ? Morns never smiling, M'jkls without a tree, A waste of voiceless twilight wide and long, Dark rivers dying in eternal sea, O Soul, sad Soul, that wert thou without song. ' O Soul, sad Soul, the rivers have to die. Morn grows to eve, trees wither by the way, Clouds hide the sun and tears fall from the sky ; But Music lives though earth should melt away. Oh ! joy, glad Soul, she will not let thee die.' " He scarce had ceased when such a pain convulsed His features as the agony that CDmes At death, and with one ringing cry he shook An adder from his foot, then wildly fled, With face distorted, bla iched with deadly fear. Eyes glaring madly, thro' the tangled glade. Like some chased stag that hears the hounds behind, Nor recks what lies before. I followed fast, But swift as wind he fled. A river deep ■wwM r«n ^ W |i^w ' Ptu m a -A I T 24 yusrnv. A i \\ % I ■ ■ I.' And rapid flowed hard by, whose rocky sides, Upheaved by some convulsion, frowning stood To guard its narrow channel. There a cliff Stretched half across the stream, and at its foot The hurrying waters curled in many a fold Of creamy white. Him, on the rocks I found There lying, prostrate, racked with anguish sore. And cold with coming death ; his foaming lips Were bloodless, and his limbs, all stained and torn. Writhed helplessly. I brought green moss and placed For pillow 'neath his head ; I laved his brow And face and clotted hair ; but all in vain I strove, for ever a wild look would come In his dark eyes, and shade of ghastly fear. Colder he grew, and silent, till at length I thought him dead, and wondered, pitying him, And his fair form so helpless on the sand. As some white statue fallen from its niche. Broken irreparably. A sudden thought Flashed on my mind. The shell — the shell was there, Still round his neck. If I could strike some sounds Of that new power that had so swayed my soul. What might not chance ! For music should indeed. If god of men, be master over death, Silj yusT/y. 25 And light up fire within the chilling breast. I seized the shell and striuk it : one low sound Broke from it, dying among the cliffs and roar Of current, soft as a child's moan in dreams. But, ere I touched again, with a wild laugh That made the forests ring and scared the owls From their day-sleep, and drove them hooting out In blinding sunlight, suddenly he sprang. Clutched with mad hands the shell, and, crushing it, Flung the white fragments in the waves below. He saw them sink, then cryin^; aloud, ' 'Tis vain ! ' J'is vain ; the shadow comes ! ' he fell back dead. O death-cry in the roaring of the waves, O death-cry in the stillness of the rocks, O death-cry in the laughing of the trees ! The shadow passing by had fallen on me, Never to rise. So thought I then. I broke Into loud weeping thus that life should end, In pain and loathsomeness, the fairest flower Of nature dying unfruitful. Stygian dark And horrors of the shades passed over me. Cries of the Furies and the torrent's roar Rang in my ears, and voices out of hell Re-echoed, * Vain ! 'tis vain ; the shadow comes ! ' ^ , .' r I I I. \ 26 yusTix. I hid the dead with moss, then turned and fled, I cared not whither, so that I might fly I'Vom the dark thoughts that drove me night and day, And sights of death tliat haunted me. All changed The glorious world ! and rapine, lust, and death Glared in each face, and blasted all but wilds Where man was not. Then, Father, came the thought That in that higher nature might be peace Which music roused, but could not satisfy ; So sought I wisdom and the secret, dread. Of life and death, nor knew I where to find. I journeyed to the blazing East, and there. In blinding simooms and a sun that scorched League upon league of sand, I stood before The stony monster that primeval hands, Fraught with mad longings, shaped with giant tools From mountain-side. O passionless cold lips ! smile of scorn ! O glance of burning hate ! 1 placed my lips against its stony mouth. On fire to hear, tho' hearing were to die, The secret of the Sphinx. I heard the birth And death of empires, heard the rolling spheres. Masts snapped at sea, and, in strange concourse blent, The din of cities, cries of wasted heans, \ • JUSTIN. 27 Marslialling of steeds, ravings of fevered men, While over all the moaning of a sea, And fLiint a voice, growing stronger, * This is all.' And this was all ; and so I journeyed home. Heart-sick, and with dark thoughts tliat gna.vjd my soul As fire eats out a tree, when thunder-clouds Darken the woods, and lightning blasts the stems. With fruit half-rii)e. The unexpressed desire For something further than the furthest star, For something deeper than the lowest deep, For something behind all, thro' all, in all, Drove me to fathom all philosophy. Thus long time sought I God, not knowing, in fire, In cold, in light, and, mole-like, closed my eyes, And groped thro' nature, while the truth I sought Was at my door. His hand upon my latch. And I too blind to see, for the dark shade Of things material hung upon my sight. Oh, Father, I was fearful lest the truth Should grind my soul to powder if 1 found. For what was I but man ? and God, the God Of this great universe, what should He care For one worn heart among a myriad stars ? Il I ' \ I "I 28 JUSTIN. 1* \ ■ ! \ i "i m If I should find — what should I find, indeed, But some great power my senses could not grasp, A part of some vast whole I could not see, And I no more to Him than breathing clay? What link between the Maker and the made ? ' For men can draw no nourishment from stones And things in nature save thro' beasts and flowers, AVhich link the two ; and so, methought, if God Should be the God I deem Him, how can He, The hidden Force that blindly moves the world, Soothe the fierce hunger in the soul of man That craves for love ? What sympathy between The finite and the infinite ? Life itself Grew hard to breathe beneath eternal clouds ; No sun, no goal, to cheer it. But I see En this dear Christ the answer of my soul; The pledge of God's great love ; the link that binds The Godhead and the manhood into one ; The undertone that makes one harmony Of our existence, giving life and peace And love for men where once a fruitless search Thro' the blind forces of the universe In weary years shut out the light of day, And dried the fount of love within the soul." k JUSTIN. 29 ids He ceased, and answered lovingly the Sage : "Son, I perceive that now thy soul hath found The peace it sought, and in the rifted Side A hiding-place and shelter from the blast. Now I perceive the Spirit, as at first, Moves on the troubled waters of thy mind, And from dark chaos bringeth light and peace. And now in this still hour, when every day On the dim altar lies the Son of God, That offering of which the prophet spake,* And feeds His children with their daily bread. Let us speak on of those high themes that lift The soul from out the trammels of this life Up to the throne of God ; and so, perchance. As on that country road at eventide. The risen One shall come wi<^h gentle voice And set our hearts on fire." f Thus they conversed, Unconscious of aught else in trance divine. And, as a mist rising from vale and hill Discloses fields, and further off the dawn On the broad sea, until there rolls unveiled The long full glory of the landscape, thus, f ! ♦ Mai. i. II. t St. Luke xxiv. 13-31. i. ! fj it : \ i i ^ if ■(•' !( I 30 JUSTIN. As Justin sat, clearer his vision grew Of this new faith, until he saw the Christ Come towards him thro' the mists of dying creeds That once had shrouded Him. And thus they spake ; And Justin learned how suffering here and sin Resisted were but powers to try the soul, And forge it out more strong for this hard life. More bright for that hereafter, and that Christ, Informing all the soul with His great love, Can purge the thouglit^; :jid bend the stubborn will. For other creeds but touch the edge of being, But this new life breathes life into our life ; For Christ hath trod our path before, and conquered all, In the cold desert and upon the cross. With bleeding hands and feet. Then, kneeling down Upon the cold, hard rocks, with lifted face Turned to the glimmering east he cried, " O God ! Lord of innumerable worlds vv ri h move. Zone upon zone, thro' that thick r .ght which hangs About Thy feet for ever — Thou, whose voice From the dead earth can frame the souls of men. The lips that murmur praises, and the eyes That kindle into love — O Thou, from whom V JUSTIN. 31 In the blind past flowed forth the light and power That make creation circle round Thy throne Thro' all the ages — Thou, to whom alone Time's self is dead, and death is but new life That flows unseen thro' this great universe, Reframing all and springing in new forms More worthy Thee — O Thou, in whom unite The past, the present, and the future — Thou, The centre of all time, the great I Am, Heart of eternity, — in Thee I find, God, my God, the resting-place I sought, In Thee I find the answer of my quest, In Thee the satisfaction of my soul. 1 thank Thee Thou hast led me like a child 'T'o these sweet streams for which my soul hath longed Thro' the dim past. And now I see anew How all creation, like some pyramid, Built on a waste of ages as the sands Of a great desert, doth on every side, Step upon step, lead upward to Thy throne. Inscrutable Thy ways, O God, and yet Thro' the thick clouds that hide Thy face there comes A beam of light, the offspring of Thy love ; For in my dreams I heard a human voice. i I I i ' I I i I ( il S ( It! It 1 I J {1 ■''■ H^ n. 32 JUSTIN. And the warm beating of a human heart Throbbing thro' nature ; and I saw far off In the dim void the suffering face of Christ O Christ in God ! O God in Christ ! O God ! Pledge of the Father's love, O Fount of light ! Thine was the Voice that stilled my fearful heart, Thine was the Heart that filled my soul with peace. O Christ, the centre of humanity ! O God, the heart of this great universe ! O Christ in God ! Thou linkest all to Thee By Thy torn side and bleeding hands and feet. How can we fear, tho' long and loud the storm, If thro' the darkness comes a human Voice ? How can we tremble, when our head is laid Upon that breast where beats a human Heart ? O Man in God, that bringest God to men ! O God in Man, that liftest man to God ! Effulgence of the essence which, divine, Without Thee incommunicable were ; Strong Light to light all mysteries, and Thou, The perfect rest I sought through weary years On trackless wastes ! Behold, in faith and love, O God, my God, I come, I come to Thee." He ceased, and, slowly rising from his knees, li JUSTIN. 33 He saw the priest afar with tearful eyes, And arms outstretched in thankfulness, and said, " I would be born again in this new faith, My Father, by the washing of my soul From its dark stains, for I am but a babe, And would learn life anew." So, silent, moved They to the shore, absorbed in thoughts too deep For earthly speech, and silence fell awhile Upon the earth in reverence to its God, And sky and ocean seemed to wait in awe. There, by the long white ripples on the shore, The priest stooped down in that still hour, and took A handful from the waves, the eternal sea. That, like the love of God, flows over all. Or height or depth, and levels all, and thus Baptized he Justin in the Triune Name, And on his forehead made the holy sign ; And, as the water fell on him, the sun Rose in full glory, and the sky grew bright, And angels sang far off, for day had dawned Upon the ocean and in Justin's soul. Then spake the priest, " My son, in this calm sea I read thy life, all stillness now and peace, D i: i i ! * I i| ' I .'1 j n thr "^nnd ;nit! • l;n, \\ hii h one (' h.ul i^tluM moMlhs \\\\\\ ihrqc.

Hast thou not seen the tints unfold, From earth, sky, sea, and setting sun, When all the glare of day was done. And melt in one long stream of gold ? So down the dim-lit glades of time, Age after age, things divers blend, Each working for the same great end, And in its working each sublime. Was it in vain that Buddha taught, Or that Mohammed lived and died ? Have they not, working side by side In differing climes, God's purpose wrought ? I««i rs«= CATirOLICISM. 51 O Christian sage, who lov'st thy creeds ! Think not the ropes that bind thee fast, Like storm-tossed sailor, to the mast, Can answer yet each brother's needs. And rail not thou at those half-known, Who, groping thro' a darker night, Have found perhaps a dimmer light Than that thou sternly call'st thine own. Wouldst thou have spent, like them, thy youth, Thy manhood, and thy weak old age. In one long search thro' nature's page, An unassisted search, for truth ? Oh, dream not the Almighty's powers Must ever work in one known way ; Nor think those planets have no day Whose suns are other suns than ours. 1882.

So think I sometimes, and would almost pray That other age were chosen my faith to prove More near Thine own (if such a prayer might be), Full of Thy memories.

There's a weary voice in the soul of man That cries for the great " to be," Like the moan of the worlds when time began, Or the wail of the wind by the sea ; And only the fall of the faded leaf And the sigh of the night in the trees, Can utter the spirit's lonely grief And the sorrow that no one sees. ]882. ■rr^i'mmtmmmm w lis? .: i» i; ji ij ff ( 72 ) TOO LATE.

A demon form Is ever at my side, whose icy touch Freezes my warmest thougl ts, and makes them hang Like dull, cold icicles about my heart. I feel his presence 'mid my fellow-men ; I see his image in the restless sea That gnaws the land ; and on the towering top, Where everything is still, amid the rocks, Worn bald by fleeting years, I hear his tread. I see his footsteps in the lonely wild, Where forests ever spring and ever die ; But, most of all, I feel him near at night, A MOOD. n lang When all the world is shrouded in the gloom Of dreamful Sleep, — so like his brother Death ; I see his eyeballs on the glittering sky; I hear his laughter ringing from the stars, That look at me and say, "O helpless worm, Upon a world of worms, dost thou not know The dust thou treadest in was once like thee. And laughed its laugh, and had its time to weep. And now lies helpless, trampled on, forgot. Scattered upon thy tiny globe which hangs Chained to its sun in black infinity ? That thou — thou, too — must soon be dust again, Forgotten, helpless, trampled on by those That shall come after thee ? " I even hear His voice amid the voices of my friends. Harsh, taunting me with death, and dreams of death. And, when I gaze in rapture on the face Of whom I love, he casts a hideous light, That lets me see. behind the sweet, warm flesh, The lightless si.ull, and o .r the rounded form The shades of death, aye dark and darker growing, Until the life-light meks into the night.

And yet The thread of gloom is woven in my being, And I am loth to rend it, for my thoughts Have long been shaded by it. Ever since I first could play, I used to watch the boys, So joyous in their sports, and saw them men. Grown chilly-hearted in a chilly world, Grown weary with the burden of their life, All restlesSj seeking rest yet finding change ; And then I saw the gathering shadows lower Upon the evening of their iife, and then They merged into the dark, and all was still- Dust under dust, forgotten by Ihe world In ugly loathsomeness, The demon still Was at my side in after-years, and threw A shade on every friendship, as a cloud Floats past the sun and dims tlie flowering fields. Oft have I wondered at the woodland stream That dances on, through dappled-lighted woods, O'er mossy pebbles glinting in the sun. Like eyes of merry children round the fire. A MOOD. 79 And never seems to think that it must thread The misty fen, where every flower grows rank Amid the lazy ooze, and sink at last Beneath the boundless sea. Oh, happy they, Who thus go laughing on from year to year. And never know the mystery of being, And never start and shudder at the dream That they and all mankind are dreaming — Life, And strive to wake, but fall back helplessly ; Who fancy sunlight, when the sky is dark, And never know that time, like India's snake, Enwraps us with his gaudy-coloured folds Of changing seasons, till his dread embrace Has crushed out life ; who live, and laugh, and weep, And tread the dust of myriads underfoot.

Then the old moon looked out of her left eye, And laughed when she thought of the fun, For she knew that the moonbeam he sat on Would soon melt away in the sun; So she gave a slight shrug of her shoulders, And winked at a bright little star — The moon was remarkably knowing, As old people always are. ff (•I ■If I t f ( i ,1, 11 ill 86 J FANCY. " Great mo dam," then answered the fairy, " No doubt you are wonderfully wise. And know probably more than another Of the ins and the outs of the skies. But to think that we don't in our own way An interest in sky-things take, Is a common and fatal blunder That sometimes you great ones make. " For I've looked up from under the heather, And watched you "^ight after night. And marked your silent motion. And the fall of your silvery light. I have seen you grow larger and larger, I have watched you fade away ; I have seen you turn pale as a snowdrop At the sudden approach of day. '' So don't think for a moment, great madam, Tho' a poor little body I be, That I haven't my senses about me, Or am going to fall into the sea. // FANCY. 87 I have had what you only could give me- A pleasant night ride in the sky ; Hut a new power arises to eastward, So now, useless old lady, good-bye." He whistled a low sweet whistle, And up from the earth so dark, With its wings bespangled with dewdrops, There bounded a merry lark. He's mounted the tiny singer, And soared through the heavens away, With his face all aglow in the mornmg. And a song for the rising day. ii-87. m • f ' ■-'"— — - a U ( ss ) i' M( ■' ) t ^(1 !

( 90 ) H (i fj/i I 5 n i n UNDER THE PINES. " Life is sad," says the wind in the pines To the still soul listening, While the pale, pale day declines Like a white bird on the wing. " Life is sad," says the quiet earth Under the churchyard wall. Where the spring flowers have their birth And the autumn leaflets fall. " Life is sad," say the daisies that blow there And stretch out their heads to the sun ; ''Life is sad," say the poor hearts that go there To weep when the day's work is done. " Life is sad," from below, from on high. From forest and meadow and tree. From the clouds that drift over the sky And the days that die into the sea. UNDER THE PliXES. Then up and be brave with thy sorrow, Like a man with his face to the blast ; Not from hope of the joys of to morrow, Nor rest when the warfare is jjast ; But strong that weak souls may grow strong. That men may take heart by the way, Till the heavens break forth with the sons: That will herald eternal day. 1S87. , Hides the rough stems beneath. We bring our song. Wood-fragrant, rough, yet autumn-streaked with love, And lay it as a tribute at thy feet. But should it vex thee thus to hear us sing. Sad in the universal joy that crowns This year of years, and shouldst thou deem our voice But death-cry of the ages that are past, * Indian for a cry of iamentation. U- WAIfONOMIN. 99 Bear with us — say, " My children of the woods, In language learnt from bird and wood and stream. From ch nging moons and stars and misty lakes, Pour forth their love, and lay it at my feet ; The voice is wild and strange, untuned to ear Of majesty, ill-timed to fevered pulse Of this young age, and meteor-souls that flash New paths upon night's dome ; yet will I hear This singing of my children ere they die." Great mother ! thou art wise, they say, and good. And reignest like the moon in autumn skies. The world about thy feet. We have not seen Thy face, nor the wild seas of life that surge Around thy throne ; but we have stood by falls. Deep-shadowed in the silence of the woods. And heard the water-thunders, and have said, Thus is the voice of men about our Queen. What is the red man but the forest stream, The cry of screech-owl in the desert wilds ? This flood that overflows the hills and plains Is not for us. Back, Westward, Northward, ay, Up to eternal winter 'neath the stars.

The forest flower 1 )roops in the haunts of man ; it needs the sky, And smokeless air, and glances of the sun Thro' rustling leaves. We perish with the woods ; The plains are all before thee. Send thy sons To plant and build, and drive their flashing gods, Startling the forests, till, like ocean's bounds, Thine empire rolls in splendour from wide east I'o widest west, broad fields of gold for thee And thy white children ; but our spirits wait Amid the silent ages, and we pass lU WAIIONOMIN. 105 Lli To where our fathers dwell, by silent streams, And hunt in trackless wilds throuj^h cloudless days.

Perchance the white face told us what was true, And love and hope wait by the throne of God. 'w 106 WAHONOMIN. The ruflled lake gives out but broken gleams Of the clear stars above ; so, restless life May be the troubled reflex of the skies. The world rolls onward, ever on and on, Through clouded vast and moans of dying years, Into the depths of sunset ; but the light Blinds our dim eyes, we cannot see the goal. The spirit of the world is not for us ; We perish with the pine tree and the bird ; We bow our heads in silence. We must die. 1887. ( I07 ) [lis, THE WAYSIDE CROSS. A WAYSIDE cross at set of day Unto my spirit thus did say — " O soul, my branching arms you sec Point four ways to infinity. " One points to infinite above, To show the height of heavenly love. " Two point to infinite width, which shows That heavenly love no limit V.iows. " One points to infinite beneath, To show God's love is under death. " The four arms join, an emblem sweet That in God's heart all loves will meet." I thanked the cross as I turned away For such sv/eet thoughts in the twilight grey. 1888. •7 r m r •■il t i B ■J If I' M s \ <;:■ ( I'l it It!! it i l!^^ !, 1 ' ' 1 1 ■ i '' fv I' I ; ( io8 ) A BIRTHDAY. The three Fates sat in a house of birth, Ah, well a day ; ah, well a day ; Their eyes were bright, but not v/ith mirth — They have no love for the sons of earth — And their lips were parched and gray. Their gray locks hung from brow to chin, Ah, well a day ; ah, well a day ; One held the distaff, and one did spin. And one held shears in her fingers thin ; Three silent hags were they. We saw not the thread which the sisters spun. Ah, well a day ; ah, well a day ; Nor whether in white or in black begun, But on her with the Jiears, that elder one. Our eyes were fixed alway. \- A BIRTHDAY.

Our true selves broader are And higher than the path of furthest star. Beyond the reach of sense, each hears and sees And feels. The root alone of giant trees Touches the earth ; their branches pierce to heaven. " To-day," " Here," " There," are to the body given ; Our spirits watch among the eternities. Dearest, our beings can mingle, and our lips Kiss off the dark world-sadness from the soul ; Our hands can clasp, our eyes return love's gaze, Tho' waste lands moan between, where crimson dips The westering sun, and tho' wide oceans roll ; Tho' being so far, we breathe in different days. 1886. ( III ) LOVES SHADOWS. are Iven. ven ; There come dull days in love's clear atmosphere, When clouds and doubt obscure the wide expanse. The woods are still ; no songs of birds entrance ; No sunlight falls, and desolate and drear. As if harmonious with the lurking fear Which sucks love's peace, the leaden waves that glance From rock-bound coast the general gloom en- hance ; And spectral winds are wailing far and near. I ips s. When suddenly, and oft in darkest hour, I hear some strain of music, or some voice, Or some of thy dear writing chance I see, When, lo ! the spell is broken, and the power Of darkness, earth, and sea, and sky rejoice, And all my being thrills with songs of thee.

Musing by winter fire at daylight's close. In fancy have I viewed those depths of sky And infinite clouded crags, while fronting high, Peak upon peak, the eternal Alps uprose.

( 114 ) . . ( r» ! I, TIME. I SAW Time in his workshop carving faces ; Scattered around his tools lay, blunting griefs, Sharp cares that cut out deeply in reliefs Of light and shade ; sorrows that smooth the traces Of what were smiles. Nor yet without fresh graces His handiwork, for ofttimes rough were ground And polished, oft the pinched made smooth and round ; The calm look, too, the impetuous fire replaces. ii i! iM ( ■ I K \ i i ; \ I Long time I stood and watched ; with hideous grin He took each heedless face between his knees. And graved and scarred and bleached with boil- ing tears. I wondering turned to go, when, lo ! my skin Feels crumpled, and in glass my own face sees Itself all changed, scarred, careworn, white with years. 1886. L^^ "5 ) WORDS. Words are but passing symbols of the deep Crying unto deep in individual souls. And meu are words on the great voice that rolls Through Nature, since that morn when from their sleep The elements heard, and ihey who vigil keep On Heaven's battlements, to distant poles Re-echoed, " Let light be ! " — such voice as tolls The birth and death of all who laugh or weep. Not uniform, but in a wondrous plan. Each diverse from his fellows, symbol each Of varying thought in the eternal mind. Now at the feet of every age of man We sit and learn. H.iply, in perfect speech Its voice will be God's message to our kind. 1887. II ;i ? ( ii6 ) 1^ THE POETS EMPIRE. ■ w It (•; ; ',1 I . ' What power can break the inner harmonies, The rich imaginings, heard like distant sea O'er purple meadow-lands at eve, while we Look starwards mute ? Hopes that like mountains rise Into mid-heaven, and to entranced eyes Horizon-glories of what is to be, — All these and more lie round us infinitely. Beyond all language fair in cloudless skies. .' This is the poet's empire. Here may he Reign king-like, throned in splendour and in power No power can shake, so he indeed be king. Free as the wind, untamed as the sea, When earth weighs heavily, most in that hour He cleaves the heavens in scorn on eagle-wing. 1887. \ \ ■ ( 117 ) IN ME MORI AM. E. S. Her love was that full love which, like a tide, Flows in and out life's smallest gulfs and bays. And fills with music through long summer days Cold hearts that else would stern and dark abide. Her smile would cheer, her faintest look could chide ; No soul too outcast, none too lowly born, For her kind ear ; and none too high for scorn Of mean pretence, or wrong, or foolish pride. She loved all Nature j mountain, stream, and tree To her were thoughts or language for the thought She could not utter, signs of truths too high To set to wordfj. Her love, too, like a tide. Flowed daily back with cares its surface brought To the still vast beneath eternal sky. November 21, 1886. ( ii8 ) TRUTH. !i 1 ^' !/ I SAW Truth on the mountains, golden-shod With day-dawn, girt about with skies Of azure mist, half veiling from man's eyes Her silent face and gaze upturned to God. Beneath were clouded steeps of shale and sod. Tracked deviously by feet that human-wise Toiled upward, but toiled vainly towards the prize ; Some following, shunning some where others trod. Yet in the darkness oft there came, " I see," From eager hearts I met. " Behold ! " men cried, Yet variously ; "such are Truth's features high." Selfs shadow, from the soul's intensity Cast on the mist, not such the face I spied. Calm, sovereign, silent, upturned 'midst the sky. 1887. ( "9 ) SHAKESPEARE, Unseen in the great minster dome of time, Whose shafts are centuries, its spangled roof The vaulted universe, our master sits, And organ-voices like a far-off chime Roll thro' the aisles of thought. The sunlight flits From arch to arch, and, as he sits aloof. Kings, heroes, priests, in concourse vast, sublime, Glances of love and cries from battle-field, His wizard power breathes on the living air. Warm faces gleam and pass, child, woman, man, In the long multitude ; but he, concealed, Our bard eludes us, vainly each face we scan, It is not he ; his features are not there ; But, being thus hid, his greatness is revealed. 1885. II I ( lio ) AT MADAME TUSSAUD'S. 1 STOOD in that strange show, the other day, On Baker Street, where all the famous men. Fair dames, and murderers come to lite again, With clockwork breast and face of mimic clay, To scare the young. Thrice in the long display. Blundering, I thought wax flesh, then, with surprise At being deceived, I turned with cautious eyes And took for wax all those that thronged my way. So in this age, methinks, when in the light Of fuller knowledge, forms that men have reared And worshipped turn to dust, too hasty youths, Shunning the whirlpool jaws of credulous sight. Rush towards a Scylla far more to be feared. And take for shadows all too living truths. 1885. ( 121 ) WESTMINSTER ABBEY. 'TwAS afternoon in winter, and the light Sloped softly up the walls, as day was done, In tremulous cloud-beams, while the westering sun Blazoned with saints the columns opposite. All sounds had died away ; to left and right ^Vas silence, tho' I seemed to hear again The spirit-echoes of the last Amen Far in the groinM shadowings out of sight. Oh ! silence strange, so deep, so vast, profound ; Ten ages slumber in the dust beneath. And yet no voice, — no voice from those who trod These aisles before and lie so still around. Oh ! is it that they lose all voice in death. Seeing what they see, and being so close to God ? 1885. m\ m mmmmmm wm ( 122 ) V u NEW YEAR'S EVE. ". in We stand above the abyss ; beneath our feet Around and onward infinite darkness rolls. The sky above is black ; the watch-bell tolls The dying year.

Should I go to church And sec the holy edifice of stone, And not bethink me straight of dangerous rocks, Which touching but my gentle vessel's side, Woukl scatter all her spices on the stream, ICnrobc the roaring waters with my silks, And, in a word, but even now worth this, And now worth nothing ? Shall I have the thought To think on this, and shall I lack the thought That such a thing bechanc'd would make mc sad ? Hut tell not mc : I know Antonio Is sad to think upon his merchandise. An/.
