From thy warm veins I caught the purple drops Of life ; on the white music of thy breast drank the dream-white draughts of poetry— )rank deep the love and gloom that never die.

On youth's higli golden stair we longing wait Till lily hands of love lead downward o'er Melodious steps, and at the end we turn To see a mother's smiles fading behind, To hear her memory-treasured footsteps die. Then, with a sigh, we climb the breathless steps Of time. Mother, had I but loved as thou Didst love, 1 had nc t this regret and pain. Now, as I read thy life in the sad light Of after years !

Without our Hampdens, Cromwells, Miltons, we Were slaves bound hand and foot to tyranny. True greatness is the struggle to be free, And he who would be truly great must bear A thorny heart for lovely Freedom's sake. Ignominy and gloom, curses, blind lies, The scorn of little minds, the bitter hemlock bowl, Are all he wins in life. Hail, noble queen, Thy reign is growing larger every hour ! Hail to die light of thine eternal brow ! The little lights must fade in thee as moths Dissolve in flame — the little lights must die. Is it a sin to doubt the past, that speaks The darkened mind ? Hail, light unquenchable From thee Priestcraft and Superstition skulk Into oblivion, and caves of night, And mumbling mouths that mourn the outworn , The rights and lives of men are but half built.

The Past hath laid a heavy load upon ll'hy back, begrimed thy noble brow and hands, i! LINES TO MY MOTHER. Leaving thy mind to struggle in the gloom, Thou hast cried out for food, and heedless hands Have built high-painted vaults and marble walls, Where rich-robed figures move in scented smoke, For thee to gaze upon and die in vice And misery. What are these gods who dare To brand their brothers' brow with unbelief Because thev will not bow to idle forms And idle tales born of a dying past ? Who gives his life to love and truth lives not A faithless life, despite the wagging tongues Of fools ; who will not take the light of truth. Nor grow, must cling unto the glimmering lamp Of self-made gloom ; who loves not freedom loves Not man ; who fears to follow truth where'er She leads, is but a slave tricked by his birth. I have loved Freedom from my birth, and I Would ever love, despite all scorn, the lure Of luxury, i)ride, wealth, and vanity. IMy youth hath taught me love for humble men.

Those homes that lie like silver sails afar In silver peace upon an emerald sea ! Calm are their lives, their voices sweet and pure As tinkling streams in flower-haunted dells. Their warm hearts have no sting, but lamb-white thoughts That lie beneath the elms of memory ; And these are of their flithers, like their homes, Inherited and sacred as their graves. It were a noble thought to consecrate A life to them, that each blank mind might learn That every footstep hath a harmony Of sweetest thouglits, each flower a noble poem, Each stream and bird a lovely thought to wake The loftiest dreams. Wake not the rustic from His dream of Heaven ; until the mind is ripe It needs such light. Take not his village rhymes. The sweet church-bells of youth and love and death.

Death is no venomed snake ; 'Tis but to sleep again in thy dear arms. If I have dwelt too long with sorrow since I gazed upon thy face for the last time. Forgive the past. Let thy sweet memory Inspire my life to deeds ; my soul doth crave Action. Action is the soul's finest speech \ ^Vords may deceive, deeds never can.

Time is the reverent gaze on marble eyes, The pilgrim's fading feet on marble ears. Time is our slave ; in Death we still can stir The veins of those we love to noble thoughts. Death is the power of life without the pain. Mock not the poet's dreams ; the poet sings The Golden Age. It is his hapless lot To suffer scorn in youth ; mock not his dreams, Test in clear depths thou dost but mock thy shadow] Our highest thoughts are but poetic dreams. Therefore the poet hath his brothers' love, Flushed gleaners in the yellow fields of hope, Beside the bell-sweet waves of memory. That ever chime — We are not what we thought AVe were ; we are not what we hoped to be. Who climbs Thought's mount is ever climbing towaj The gloom ; the larger vision hath unrest, And Resignation is the only path To death for poets and philosophers, The consolation of a generous heart, The noble freedom of a faithful mind. C " ) GOOD NIGHT. How calmly, love, the day hath fled ! How soon the sun sinks down to rest ! See how yon quivering orb doth shed His myriad gems about the west ! And gold and rainbow-tinted shells That fade so sweetly and are gone. Amid the music of far bells, The starry night steals softly on. The full red moon hangs o'er the pine, The fields are veiled in misty shrouds, The first pale star begins to shine In beauty o'er the sapphire clouds. 12 GOOD NIGHT. I'air night, how thou dost soothe the heart With sleep and dreams and calm delight : Give me thine hand ere I depart, Give me thine hand, my love, good night ! What happy hours I've spent with thee ! Too soon hath vanished this brief day. Still do I wait and lingeringly Like unto it must pass away. Soon youth must pass, that bloometh fair, And sadder light into thine eye Must steal, and gray into thine hair, And to thine heart the troubled sigh. Thy lovely face is pure and glad. And tender dreams thine heart-strings thrill ; No bitter grief hath made thee sad. Nor yearning wish thy soul doth fill That only life and love were sure As death, and souls could never part ; From sin and shame, and thought impure, (iod ever keep thee as thou art ! iiii GOOD NIGHT. I? Sweeter than setting suns and bars Of golden cloud and mellow moon And silvery sheen of twinkling stars, Sweeter than thoughts of faded June, Knowing that thou art in the fold Of innocence, and wolfish blight Is far removed from thee, to hold Thy lily hand and say, " Good night !

Why do I wander on the beach ? The world doth sleep. Why hold this pallid hand Upon a heart that beats in doubt and pain ? Fain would I press my aching brow In the cold sand, And with hot palms convulsive reach For ooze and spray-wet weeds cast from the main. I suffer now As did dead worlds in ages long ago, And souls that peopled many a fabled land — All felt the heart-ache, fear and woe, And dreary thouo^hts of a strange destiny ; Nor sleep, nor opiate draughts, nor wine's sweet flow Can soothe such grief, O melancholy sea ! Moan on, moan on ! I hear another song Than thine, — a song that floated o'er thy breast How oft in vanished years ! It floats again Unto mine ear. I hear the wondrous lyre Of the blind bard, and see the Grecian throng About Troy's lofty walls, and Hector slain.

Then comes Ulysses sighing for his home Afar, leaving the ruins of old Troy For Ithaca, where oft, a glad-faced boy. He played amid the ripening vines, and heard His father's voice ere he began to roam The weary waves. His heart is stirred With thoughts of home, and son, and wife, And ever Circe holds him in her arms. How have I longed to drift on some far isle, Like thee, from feverish alarms, And voices of reproach, and earth's vain strife — Some urnless land beyond the wile Of grief and gold, where man can quite forget All pain, and sleep and dream not of regret. Pale faces of the dead are with me night And day, dear faces that were loved and lost, And memories of sad days and bitter blight That withered them like flowers beneath the frost. Dead voices witli their sweetness robbed by curse Of Fate and hideous darkness worse «l 20 DE PROFUNDIS. Than Death, white faces look across the waves, The grey hairs come so fast, the eyes grow dim. Why fear calm Death ? But what may come bet'orej I shudder at. What will the years bring me Of truth and hope and sympathy ? Kind words are truest poetry And sweetest music. Spare them not, Life soon is o'er, Their music cannot reach our graves What is this life ? Is man A pebble cast upon the shore. Then swept seaward for evermore ? Can he look back and laugh at what is past, (iive himself up to pleasure, and rejoice In dissolution when his footprints last A day upon the strand ? Gaze on The sea and feel thy littleness : Think of dead men, and feel Thy power while golden thought doth steal Into thine heart, to charm and bless, And poems sweeter than sound of vesper bell. DE PROFUNDIS. 21 When dream-eyed Night ascends her silvery throne | Is life eternal ebb ? Is man an alien and his work a web Of gossamer ? Ah, see that soul Divine in Athens quaff the bowl Of hemlock like some nectar-drinking god, Full of immortal dreams, and say 'tis well Cold ashes fill the urn. Thus may Time teach me resignation sweet And faith, so that I may return This body to the lifeless clod From which it came, and meet The vanished millions. God will keep His own.

How my young heart did wildly bound With thee in warbling greenness of glad Spring ! My youth hath been attuned to thy sweet song ; We have together roamed by mossy streams Whose gladness mingled with our own, through fields Where buds and berries ripened into bloom, And by the leafy greenness of cool woods. Our lives were like a merry dream, serene And shadowless ; passion and apathy Were far away, when thou wert breathing forth Thine ecstasy. With thee I drove the kine Homeward along the lane, whose winding way Left far behind the tangled trees and gloom — Tint daisied lane, how like the tender thought ' f early home ! Then did the brown-armed maids ■Jome tripping with their ample pails, calling ii.e kine with simple names, until they drowsed In girlish laughter and low sweet-lipped rifts 36 CORYDOM AND AMARYLLIS. Of song. In happy rivalry we stood, With eager eyes, and linked our childish dreams Unto the first-born star. The moonlight brought Dim fairy tales and June's rose-heavy wreaths By fragrant doors and lingering good-nights. Thy merry song was wont to wake the morn To eager-footed play and careless joy ; But Time hath brought a spiritual change, i.-e light of sadder thought. Now, when I leave I he dream-paved palaces of sleep, thou art A Dorian flute of wordless grief and pain, A feathered memory of the vanished years. One night I could not sleep, but knelt beside The window sill. The red sun rose behind The hedge ; thy song became an elegy Of dying love. O God, how little do We cling to what we have, how much to dreams ! Pale Melancholy, faithfully thou lov'st The human soul when youth and passion fail. How precious all things grow beneath thy smile Sad sister of the poet's lonely hours, CORYDON AND AMARYLLIS. 37 Thy clinging arms embrace us all, thy feet Are in all paths, and Nature saddens 'neath Thine eyes. The lotus and the poppy have Thee in their dreamy veins, thine image dwells For ever in the jewelled wine ; thou art The hungry beauty of Love's crescent eyes, The tremour of white hands, the ashy gleam Of noble brows, and thou dost startle Love's Young dream into a dying swoon and strew A flowery sadness on some new-made grave. How soon thou com'st ! Ill-fated day that saw Dear Corydon depart to feed his flocks ! Turning, he said, *' Sweet Amaryllis, soon I shall return to thee ; soon sinks the sun, Soon dcth the day draw on the starry night." Thus did he speak, waving his parting hand. And led his bleating flocks away, winding His rustic pipe. In dreams her eyes recalled The beauty of his form, his matchless strength. And noble step. Alas ! ere Phoebus sank, Ere the white stars came out, the shepherds found 3« CORYDON AND AMARYLLIS. Thee, Corydon, amid the silly sheep, Where thou hadst fallen in the pleasant fields, Fallen to rise no more ; for Death's cold dews Had dampened thy pale brow ere breath of Time Had dimmed thy lovely eyes, or shed upon Thy noble locks, unchanged by feeble age, The silver blossoms of mortality. The sorrowing shepherds bore him home ; and \vhv'| She saw his lifeless form, moaning, she wept, And clung to his cold hand, kissed his pale cheek. Clasping him to her throbbing breast, she spake Life's saddest words, mingled with many a sigh. W " O Corydon, awake, awake ! He is Not dead, ye weeping ones, but sleeps. Awake ! Hast thou forgot our happy childhood days, When hand in hand we strayed along the woods, Along the winding streams, dreaming sweet dreams Of love, dreaming the future nevermore, And in our dreams no thought of heartless death ? Now art thou fallen like the leaf that blooms No more, gone like the wind-torn withered rose, CORYDON AND AMARYLLIS. 39 Or like the bird that seeks the summer South, Nor comes again. Before thy shrine of love I laid the incense of a passionate youth, Joyful with thee I left my earliest love. Lonely, ah me ! how lonely life's last look ! Lonely sad death ! lonely the gloomy grave ! The Fates, dear Corydon, have cut the cord. And Charon caught thee in his chilly arms, Dipping the sunless oar in Death's black stream : Torn from the beauteous earth, its bloomy haunts, The sunlit cloud, the sheen of moon and star, And thine unfinished work and fruitless toil ! For ever here, with thee, my love, could I Have lived amid these joys that Nature gives So freely in these pleasant fields, wreathed With flame of flov.'er and fruit on emerald boughs. Methought our lives had just begun, and all Our married years were like the years of youth, Dim and forgotten in sweet future hopes. Now must I dwell lone and disconsolate. Thee, Corydon, the boat among the reeds, The rippling waves tinged with the waning sun, 40 CORYDOM AND AMARYLLIS. Thy footprints fading from the sandy shore, Recall, and love, the freshening dew of life, Is lost to me for evermore." She ceased Her plaint ; in mournful arms the shepherds bore Him tenderly unto the silent rest Of grassy graves, heaping the sounding clods High o'er his dreamless head. Unhappy day For thee, sweet Amaryllis, when, grieving, Thou didst return, and in old haunts didst miss His face, when all the shepherds led their flocks Afield, but Corydon, dear Corydon, No more, the fairest, noblest one ; thy heart Grew weary of its woe, thine eye of all These lovely scenes. Oft lingering, thou didst shed Sad tears above his new-made grave, breathing The weary sigh. Then did I try to win Her from her grief " Sweet Amaryllis, rail No more at Death. Death is the laying down Of care, long rest from toil, last sleep. A thing of sadness is man's life, tinged with CORYDON AND AMARYLLIS. 41 A little gleam of joy. Its pleasant dreams Are few ; the rest are full of trouble, change, Ambition, passion, care that frets the brow. There is no greatness in the grave, for there Injustice hath no rule, and soon are o'er The pomps and honours of frail life, and dumb The clamour of the gilded car, the shout Of mighty triumph, Glory's ciren voice. There come no haunting visions of the lost, What might have been, what is, v;hat never more Can be ; no tears of cruel destiny. Nor Youth's illusive dreams. There none command And none obey. Proud kings lay down their crowns ; The soldier goes not to the weary war ; Soon doth the poet lay aside his well Beloved pipe, leaving the haunts of song. Think not calm Death ignoble end to Life, Nor what the sightless mind hath feared beyond The grave. Fear not to lay the body down In lonely peace ; man's mould, his wondering eyes, His brow thought-pale, are only transient clay, And useless as the fallen leaf when Life's 42 CORYDON AND AMARYLLIS. Brief work is done. Then let them fall to dust, This restless heart that throbs with lo/e and hate And pride and feverish pang ; for it is well. Worms do dissolve Nature's most noble work In one brief hour ; the little worm we tread Upon in life hath power to change what we Have loved so well into a little dust. There is some tender purpose far beyond Our little vision, sadness and regret." \i But, heeding not my words, she roamed about The paths bright with the fading Autumn leaf. And Corydon was in her heart alway, And on her lips. The sobbing of the rain, The Winter with its wandering winds bemoaned His timeless fate. No season brought her hope ; But day by day her way grew darker, wearier, Relief was but the madness of a dream. She wandered through the house in lonely grief, From room to room in longing sad and wild, In her large eyes the vision of dead joy, In her grieved heart the treasured word and smile, CORYDON AND AMARYLLIS. 43 And o'er her face the shadows of despair. Sorrow lay heavy on her heart when she Did sleep, sorrow lay heavy on her heart When she did wake, for every dream was his, And every waking thought. And oft she said, " How sorrow's whirlwind sweeps into our lives And leaves them like the barren sand ! My sun Hath set, and all life's flowers are withered up. Ye gods, why do we live, why do we die ? " There came a languid light into her eyes, A sad change o'er her hair and fliding face ; She dwelt with us, yet seemed in other worlds, Until she faded as the violet fades. Beside the lilac trees, ere leaf or bloom Came out, we laid her in her silent bed. Asleep with Corydon for evermore. But yesterday we watched the silly sheep. Together in the summer shade, and heard The plashing of the kine in the cool stream. Whose silver currents foam in saffron glee Among the moss-wet trees that dream in green Forgetfulness. There, in calm roseate i icrn, 44 CORYDON AND AMARYLLIS. We heard the mower whet his gleaming scythe, And its low sweep among the clover-blooms, Whilst the brown boy raked it in scented heaps. There many an amber bee shared our repose. And all day long our thoughts ^^ jweeter than His heavy wings. All day the fleecy clouds Brooded afar upon the purple hills, Until the sun went down the magic west. Then homeward did we turn through grassy paths, Lulled with the sound of many an even-song. The harvest days golden the fields again ; Here do I lie upon the summer ^ s Among the quiet graves, and he. J wind Among the corn, the sweet and wild refrain Of wave and song and wing. O restless thought ! Insatiate spirit that doth lead the mind From youth's calm trust unto that boundless deep, Dark Ocean, whose mysterious music swells For ev°r on the soul, and whoso hears Dwells a pale alien in forsaken ways, Caught in a labyrinth of gloomy dreams ! CORYDON AND AMARYLLIS. 45 'l"he harvest fields arc beautiful, and yet Upon them there doth seem to dwell sadness Unspeakable and silent thought of Death. Death ! the golden and the silver haired Are thine — the murmur of unnumbered lips, The splendour of unnumbered eyes, the wrecks Of time, and all that yet must be — kings, priests, Empires, high palaces and gilded fanes, Youth, age, hopes, fears, wild passions, lusts, despair, And all the various things that make life such Enchanted doom. Those strong desires that haunt Our nights and days, the pr- mise of green youth Warm with the passion of sweet love and fame, And that wan yearning for what cannot be. Soon sleep in dawnless rest of marble urns Stained with neglect. It is so strange to sleep And wake, to love and weep, and ask, " Is life A dream ? " and sleep again ; for Life is sad As Death, and Death sadder than Life, and rest Is not for those who live, but for the grave. For e'en the gods have grief; sorrow doth dwell Far in the urnless regions of the gods 46 CORYDON AND AMARYLLIS. Who live immortal in the realms of ease, Forgetful of their slaves, where iron fate Yields not to prayer nor sighs. There Phcebus wept O'er well-loved Hyacinthiis' purple face, And Ceres mourned for Proserpine, culled like A lustrous flower, and Cynthia saddened o'er The first gray hair upon Endymion's brow. The gods have sorrow, what can we expect — Mortals, blind dwellers in an unknown land. Whose being and whose names are born of Fate ? We rise from nothingness to hopeful life, And pass into forgetfulness and gloom, Drifting about like aimless clouds that fade In golden flight, to fall from whence we came. Here, in the glamour of a thoughtless world, We cling to precious hope, striving to fling From out the heart grim doubt, that says we are Weak bubbles on a sea of change, alone In the wild flow of an eternal tide, Where love and joy and pain and woe become The heritage of others, who arise To do the work that we have left undone. CORYBON AND AMARYLLIS. 47 Our fathers pass from us, wrinkled and wan ; Our children fade and die about our knees ; Our wives, whose gentle hands for ever ply Some loving task, grow sadder year by year, Mourning deserted homes, where Innocence Was wont to sport in unsuspecting glee ; Where unforgotten faces linger still, Whose names are writ on Memory's silent scroll, So powerless to wake responsive life, So vain to break their melancholy sleep. What wonder that the heart in sadness asks, " Why are we born to taste the joys of life, Breathe one sweet breath, see such enchanting sights. To wake from youth and hear a little while The melody of love, building the form Divine, building the thought sublime, building The generous heart, to perish in an hour ? " But that eternal cry hath no response, And ne'er can have, the while we sit in earth's Deep shades, trying to read in waning light Of years the various solemn thoughts that fill The soiled pages of Life's closing book, 48 CORYDON AND AMARYLLIS. ■ I 1/ Vexed with the babble of confusing tongues. Life is a precious book whose pages are The years, whose thoughts the deeds that speak the hear: A little book hid on the dusty shelf Of Time, where some young wanderer may come And read into his life, its silent thoughts, To bless or curse the memory of ^' 'ead. A little, little book ! — and oftentimes The fairest bound contains the meanest thought. Yet naught can perish in this world of change ; Forgetfulness is not our doom, though forms May perish outwardly. All things abide For ever in the changeless mind, and like The dew upon the sleeping rose, and like The winds that bear a thousand flowers to deck The coming year, unseen we live again In other hearts ; our bodies have an end, Our thoughts and memories are infinite. Yon gleaners in the yellow fields of grain, Unlearned, whom Fortune binds to simple tasks, Plying their sickles through the summer day. What thoughts have they among the ripened sheaves, CORYDON AND AMARYLLIS. 49 lie It From flush of dawn until the moon's first beam ? Their work is humble, and their joys, their hopes, the heartW^'heir fears, their cares, are free from pride and scorn, he children chase the butterflies of youth ; he guileless swain rests his brown hand to dream n some wild flower pure as an infant's smile, Jreathing a sacred love into his life b feed the years long after she hath ceased flush at his kind words and tremble 'neath is ardent eyes. But in the older lives re other thoughts ; for slowly they have seen ife's landscape, set with Beauty's various hues nd fresh delight, fade 'neath their wistful gaze, nd all its greenness wither into gold, iVhile other vistas rise mysterious nd dim in lonely Contemplation's eye. 'heir speech grows less ; for silently do they ommune with Nature's heart. Yon bell that haunts he old church tower doth bring forgotten days — tVhen they were wed, the ring, the vows that brought -ong happiness and consecrated love, many lives have come and gone from liicm, £ ks, iheaves, 50 CORY DON AND AMARYLLIS. Learning from Time a sad philosophy. Each Sabbath finds them in the httle church, Where, bending low the aged head, they seek To learn the high heroic faith that rose In Jacob's dream, to suffer and to die. They know not admiration nor loud fame, But artless love and duty's call obeyed. Hear, by their grassy graves, the poetry They read in life, " Will not the Judge of all The earth do right ? " and Resignation's voice Upon the crumbling stones, *'Thy will be done. The western sun hath faded to a star Upon the mountain's peak, and far and dim The fields beneath the gathering mists of night ; And calm the summer moon and silver eve Above the ripened fields, and Hesper bright Appears, leaving his sapphire couch on high, While lowing kine creep through the tinkling vales And sweetly rise thoughts of the golden sheaf, Thoughts of the harvest-song and blushing vine ; But not for ye two lowly ones. Soon comes CORYDON AND AMARYLLIS. 51 Fair Autumn's fluttering hair and blooming cheeks O'er grasses tangled with large mellow fruit. Sleep on, sleep on, dear ones ; if I could wind An Orphean lute I would not wake ye from V'our dreamless bed. Sleep, sleep ! Yet must I live Alone. Forgetting is a weary task. And human sorrow fills the poet's dream With laurel tears. Since ye are gone, life is A throbbing of the heart, a tired breath, A waking from a troubled sleep, A dreaming and a passing unto death, A mist of memories and a dreamless urn. 52 ) E VERM ORE. Come, love — for there is nothing in this world As sweet as love — come, then, and be my bride, And we shall make our pleasant home among The woods and dells, among the flowers and streams, And I will love thee, love thee evermore. We'll gaze into the violet eyes of Spring, That ope and close upon green dewy banks, Where hyacinths are twined in purple mists. Our dreamy sighs will fill melodious days, And I will love thee, love thee evermore. And when the wild rose wakes the jealous morn, Wild birds will tune again their throats to song, The golden bee reseek sweet golden bells And chime the drowsy summer hours to sleep, And I will love thee, love thee evermore. EVERMORE. 53 And when their vesper hymns have died in bloom Of tear-stained flower, and when the sun doth leave His fading footprints in the glowing clouds, Thou'lt be the queen of my divinest dreams, And I will love thee, love thee evermore. And ah ! when moon-eyed Night doth rise and cull Her silver flowers upon the sapphire fields Of trembling bloom, from these eternal flowers We'll catch the perfume of life's sweetest thought. And I will love thee, love thee evermore. Beside the foam-fringed border of the sea We'll learn how great and little is the world, Forget the follies we've been taught, and feel That life and love are true, whate'er be false, And I will love thee, love thee evermore. When Spring is gone and yellow Autumn comes, When Youth's wild love and short-lived passion die, My heart will ne'er prove false to thee ; by this High love that doth disdain all mean desire, I swear to love thee, love thee evermore. 54 EVERMORE. Not for those low-lit eyes divine that fill My every dream ; not for those cheeks that shame The loveliest flower ; but for the thoughts thy life Will yet unfold within the future years — For these I'll love thee, love thee evermore. And in the sadness of forsaken life, When greenest hopes have withered into tears, Though we may find the past and present hour The priceless setting of a little dream, Yet will I love thee, love thee evermore. To suffer pain with thee were sweet as joy With others ; all delights and fatal pangs That come into this transient life of ours Will closer wreathe our love in greener links, And I will love thee, love thee evermore. When silver light doth dawn upon the head, And in wan age we watch each other die. When true-love lips have mouldered into dust, And hearts can speak no more, write on my grave That I will love thee, love thee evermore. ( 55 ) A SLEEPING NEWS-GIRL. Sweet maid, thy sleep is calm and fair ; The beauty of thy face Doth fix mine eyes in mad despair Upon each simple grace. Thou art so young, thou art so frail ; Cold Poverty hath made thee pale, And left thee here alone ; Thy drooping head hath tearful power O'er me, wild, melancholy flower, Neglected as a stone. Here do I linger by thy side. Forgetful of the roar Swelling from out the human tide That flows for evermore. 56 A SLEEPING NEWS-GIRL. Thou art unconscious of their strife, As they are of thy helpless life And utter loneliness. And O, if thou shouldst fade and die, Thy pallid face and pleading eye The world would never miss. The papers fall from thy weak arm, And tangled is thine hair ; Thou art away from all alarm And life-consuming care. Nations and kings may fall and rise, Despite the soldier and the wise, And man be bond or free ; Statesmen may wane and set or shine, Great art may prosper or decline — It matters not to thee. Thine is no life of flower and bird, And joys the seasons bring ; By vale and hill thou hast not heard The bleating lambs of Spring. A SLEEPING NEWS- GIRL. 57 Thou hast not seen green harvest shoot, Nor heard the streamlet's merry flute, Nor plucked one hly white From the clear tide, nor hast thine eye Found in its waves the sapphire sky And vigil stars of night. For thee there is no tender voice To soothe thy lonely heart, To make thy hungry soul rejoice And into rapture start ; No arm to clasp thy shrinking form, To shield thee from the cruel storm, Nor sympathetic breast. Thou art deprived of childhood's joys, The glee of happier girls and boys, And home's deep love and rest. Thou sleep'st ! 'Tis well that thou canst sleep, That there is some relief, That thou canst from the shadows creep Unto a pleasure brief. 5S A S LEE FIX G NEWS-GIRL. Thou drcam'st thou dost no longer roam ; Thy feet are in a pleasant home, Free from all scorn and curse. All that thy yearning eyes have seen Is thine, for now thou art a queen In a rich universe. Sleep on, sleep on in silent bliss, Too soon wilt thou awake ; Too soon these pleasant visions miss. Sleep's golden clime forsake. Thy dreams must vanish into air ; Thou'lt fix again a glassy stare On melancholy sights. As vain and empty as thy dream Unto the thoughtful mind doth seem Man's conquests and delights. Time will not leave thee as thou art Always, for thou must change ; These scenes must vanish fr ^m thine heart. And visions yet ot strange. A SLEEPING NEWS-GIRL. 59 Passion may claim thee as his slave, Neglect may bring 'an early grave, Yet in thy saddest tears. As others ask in lonely pain And gloom, Lhoii wilt not ask again The life of earlier years. If love had power to change thy state, And with one touch could stay Thy throbljing lite, this cruel fate Should swiftly pass away. Those violet veins should cease to flow, The breathing of that breast of snow Should be for ever still ; The splendour of thy trembling eye, Thy modest smile, and weary sigh, Should turn to marble chill. Adieu, adieu, unconscious maid ; Into the world I go. 'Tis sad to think we give no aid And little do we know. m 60 A SLEEPING NEWS-GIRL. We know not why each life is born To be a flower or a thorn, Nor can Philosophy- Explain why thou art cast a weed Upon this troubled shore, nor creed Unfold thy destiny. II 1 ( 6i ) TO A BLIND SINGER. How sad thy song, thou wanderer pale About the city's restless stones ! Thy song is for a little bread To feed a withering life. Thy form is bent, and thou art blind — There is no other work for thee ; Thou canst but roam from door to door, And sing thy pleading song. Thou hast no dreams, for long since they Are gone — gone like thy transient youth. Ambition is no more ; thou hast Naught but desire to live. 62 TO A BLIND SINGER. And what a life ! P'or ever shut From h'ght and beauty's various ways, C'ondcmned to dwell in lonely thought And black monotony. The weary stones beneath thy feet Alone give answer to thy voice, Save when some generous maiden lays A penny in thine hand. Thou canst not see her gentle eyes, Aglow with love and tenderness ; Thou canst but i)ray that Time may prove Kinder to her than thee. Not as the lark thou sing'st, so wild And free, far in his sunny home ; His gladness bursts from sa})phire skies, Over the fields of gold. There are no sad notes in his song, Hunger and thirst are all unknown ; His home is built with perfumed flowers And silver gems of dew. •:! Iji TO A BLIND SINGER, But thou art old, and ncak, and gray ; The garret is thy clieerless home, \\'hcre thou dost long to leave thy woe In an oblivious sleep. Not as a maid in glowing youth, Lost in a lovely world of dreams, \\'hose life doth seem a paradise Lit with love's ardent eyes. Thou canst not sing as others sing, The years have tau^dit thee different strains ; Thy visionary youth is gone. And hopeless age is thine. And yet, what more can any boast Than this jjoor ragged beggar hath ? \Ve are as blind, and sorrow is The burden of our song. ( 64 ) HOPE. In shadowy calm the boat Sleeps by the dreaming oar ; The green hills are afloat Beside the silver shore. Youth hoists the white-winged sail, Love takes the longing oar — The oft-told fairy tale Beside the silver shore. Soft lip to lip, and heart To heart, and hand to hand, And wistful eyes, depart Unto another strand. HOPE. And lovely as a star They tremble o'er the wave, With eager wings afar, Unto the joys they crave. In a sweet trance they fare Unto the wind and rain. With wind-tossed waves of hair, And ne'er return again. And at the drifting side, Changed faces in the deep They see, and changing tide, Like phantoms in a sleep. Slow hands furl the torn sail Without one silver gleam, And, sad and wan and pale, They gaze into a dream. f'5 ( 66 ) THE LAST SLEEP. My love, the dawn is flushing thy cheek, And the sunHght creeps high ; I have watched thee all night, till the first faint strcu Of dim light in the sky. Thou hast lain so quiet, my love, not a word, I have watched so long, And bird hath begun to answer bird In gladness of song. Slowly the moon and the stars have burned low In the dawn of the day ; My love, my love, awake ! let us go To the fields that are gay. 1^^ THE LAST SLEEP. 67 The trees are dreaming, their shadows float By the musical shores ; The white swan is paddhng his feather-sailed boat With lazy oars. The fields are with emerald memories strewed Where our first love grew, And the golden-haired flowers are awake in the wood, Bathing in scented dew. All night I have heard the ringing of bells — One was so wild and glad ; All night I have heard the ringing of bells — One so solemn and sad. I have missed the ivy of hands on my neck, Dove-wliite face on my breast ; I have madly longed to see thee awake From thy quiet rest. the kindly light of thine eyes in the morn, Smiling up at my own ! thy joyful voice to the heart forlorn, With its love-laden tone ! 68 THE LAS7 SLEEP. the wild-rose blush 'neath the trailing tress. Hung freshly on thee, When thy lips in tremors of love did confess Thou wert dreaming of me. The streamlet sings to his flowery throng, Where the green stones lie ; The grasses and leaves have waited so long, Then come ere they die. Though thou couldst not come, sadly I went Alone on the lea ; 1 culled these flowers thou didst love, all bent In sorrow for thee. No joy nor gloom can ever wean Thy pallid brow From my heart. Thank God, how true thou hast been I have kept my vow. ( 69 ) THE PAINTER TO HIS PICTURE. How I did hang upon that face When but a dreaming boy ! How bright the golden clusters of thine hair ! My studio seemed a weary place When thou didst go ; and joy Returned in thinking of thy face so fair. I painted thee, and day by day, Beneath the amorous brush, I saw thee grow upon the canvas bare ; I strove to catch thy smile's sweet play, And fix the faintest blush Upon that pearly cheek with idle care. 'JJfE PAINTER TO HIS PICTURE. Those lips where red-ripe kisses hung Like dew- wet fruit ! that brow With veins as sweet as wine in purple bowl ! As on thy lily freshness hung Mine eyes, O, sure and slow, Love painted the same image on my soul ! O sweet, sweet ever-budding eyes, Fringed with pale-petalled lids, With tints of purest colour interwove, Whose sacred beauty doth despise Mean thought, whose light forbids All trifling looks except the gaze of love ! How lovely that curved neck doth fade Amid those fluttering breasts ! How fine those arms, the coral bloom of hands, Those rounded limbs so amply made ! What wondrous beauty rests With thee, as of the wave of fairy wands ! THE PAINTER TO HIS PICTURE. 71 Ah me ! I almost had forgot Myself in memory, That thou art but a shadow on the wall, A painted speechless face, and not !My living love ! I see In thee the vanished years beyond recall. Dear love, why did they part us two ? We loved each other well. My heart did ever beat unto thy love ! Our love was young and strong and true. Why did they break the spell, And leave the pain the years cannot remove ? The glow of wealth and tinselled pride Laughed my young life to scorn ; Remorseless hearts that yield to mean disdain Did tear thee from my helpless side, Leaving the lowly born To nurse the passion of a maddened brain. THE PA INTER TO HIS PICTURE. I cannot speak the pain I feel In every lonely hour, And many a one hath come, so grimly slow, Into mine eyes thy warm eyes steal. In deeper, sadder power Than when I loved thee in the long ago. I did not hear the glad bells ring, Nor swear to be thine own, Where music through the crowded aisle did thrill I did not give the kiss, the ring ; Yet am I here alone With the old love, and thinking of thee still. How often I have longed to hear Thy voice break my regret, Thy footstep start my saddest reverie ; To see thy beauty lingering near My side, in it forget The heartache and the mind's deep agony ! rilE PAINTER TO HIS PICTURE. 73 How sweet beneatli thine eyes' deep glow, With beat of pahn in palm And clinging arm and fluttering breast, to lie, To kiss thy veins into wild flow Of thine heart's purple balm, With unshut eyes to fall asleep and die ! 'I'hou only canst return in gleam Of sleep-deluded mind, When all the transient past doth rise before The wistful eye in broken dream, From which I wake and find Thy shadow gazing on me evermore. See, love, my hair is growing gray ; Those locks of thine are fair As when my fingers wove that amber curl Upon thy neck in glittering spray. Thou hast defied all care, Crowned with th' eternal smile of a sweet '^\x\. 74 THE PAINTER TO HIS PICTURE.

Thou hast lips and eyes divine ; A celestial life is thine. Passion may grow cold and pale. Poesy's pleasures never fail. C) the poet's dream Elysian ! (J the poet's magic vision ! ( 8o ) LOVES DREAM. I.ovK, love, art thou dreaming of me? I am looking and longing for thee. Art tliou near or afar? Art thoii rising, my star, In thy youth and i)ure beauty, O'er mine eyes in bright duty? I long for thine hand in my own, I am weary of being alone ; 1 feel so weak and unworthy Of thee— forgive the past folly ! Nor honour nor wealth can 1 give, Only i)assionate love while I live. LOVES DREAM. 81 Thine arms are fairer than fame, Thy kisses than glorious name ; I wait on Time's restless sands For the Hngering clasp of thine hands ; Lonely and full of unrest, I would lay my head on thy breast. Come, love, with thy pensive head, On thy yellow hair I shall thread My kisses of love so sacredly ; They'll be the beads of my rosary. I'll kiss thee, my love, till thou pantest for breath, For my love will be longer and stronger than dealli. Love, love, thou wilt be my shrine, Not made by hands but divine. Priceless with gems and pearl and gold, That God hath cast in loveliest mould, 1 shall kneel with the gift of a life In tears at thy feet, O my wife ! Thy folded hands ir saddest hour W'ill be my cross, and have swet;t power 82 LOVE'S DREAM. To bind me back to God. I am but a helpless clod, Warm with the thought of thine eyes so strong. And thy voice that is tender as choral song. Love, love, I shall cease to roam ; Love, love, thou wilt be my home; Thou wilt be the ivy, and twine Round this restless heart of mine ; Thou wilt shield my life from the sun ; Thou wilt cling when the summer is done. ( 83 ) THE AFTER-SONG. I CAME again to the sea, Almost a year ago Since I dreamed my dream of the sea. the wondrous ebb and flow Of a vanishing year ! Down by the green-clad pier 1 stood on the smooth-worn stones And heard the dolorous moans Of the waves, and their restless roar As they panted in foam to the sandy shore. A group of children wore at play on the strand ; With shouts of delight and laughter and dances They sported, and fled from the sea's advances. To my charmed sight they seemed like some fairy band 84 THE AFTER-SONG. That had strayed from the caves of the sea, Where bloom rich beds of anemone. They were so full of joy and delight, They seemed like a flock of fluttering dreams That had paused for a while in their flight To bathe in the foam of refluent streams. A little boy and a little girl stood there With delicate hands ; The wind blew through soft masses of yellow hair As they looked in the sands For the fairest shells they could find. What were they thinking of, there by the tawny sea ? Not of pain, nor of care. Nor deep passionate yearnings of mind. As they sported in glee By the shore of the tawny sea. I passed farther on, and spied A man and woman alone. Close together they sat, side by side. He held her hand in his own. He was speaking low some secret word. THE AF'n-R-SOXG. Which only slic and the ocean heard ; Slie idly tied a knot in an amber weed That lay in her lap. Were they tying the golden knot Of youth and its love? Were they gladly trying to read The future unseen ? Were they carving a happy lot l''roin the shapeless years, and a home I'ull of hoj)CS hy the ocean foam, l>y the ocean that flowed at their feet ? With a musical song it beat : " Life is so sweet and sad, so sad and sweet, And love is the sweetest of all — O answer it while it doth call," Sighed the sea at the lover's feet ! l-'urther on sat a woman, motionless, pale, Alone, with white face o'er the wave. The wind went in sighs tlirough her mourning veil. What were her thoughts ? Why did she mourn ? Her heart was sad in the world forlorn, And clouded. Had she nursed a child .At her breast and seen it fade, with the longing wild Of a mother's heart ? \\'as the grave *•• 3 IMAGE EVALUATION TEST TARGET (MT-3) t ^ // // S" ^x V > i.i, iA 1.0 I.I 1.25 "-lilllM IIIIM S Ilia iiiii^ 2.0 1.4 1.8 1.6 yw 9f. o s^ "^^ ^4^' r^ V r^ 4^ ^< L 86 THE AFTER-SONG. %\ »■ Of some loved one green in the churchyard ? Was she reading a new-cut name through her tears, Or counting with sighs the sloth of the years Since the first sad tear fell on the sward Where dear love vanished for ever and ever ? Did she pine for dear arms that never Could clasp her again ? While each beryl-bowed wave Seemed to moan in a wild refrain, " Love cometh once, and after it pain ! Love cometh once, and never again I " I wandered on where an aged man Sat alone on the rocks, withered and gray. What visions arose to that face so wan As the dim eyes gazed o'er the sea's wild play ? " Wonderful changes in life's little day," He seemed to say ; " sad changes in Time's little span. 'Tis a swift-run road from the boy to the man, So swift and eagerly run. Till the light of the sun, And the moon, and the stars, and the flowers, And youth's green hours, 1.1 THE AFTER-SONG. 87 Grow precious to eyes that are dim, Till the passions and hopes and ambitions Of life have dwindled into a whim, And the fair-winged dreams and visions Are dead." And the waves of the sea Rang in his ears, and said, '"Tis strange that life, once so full, seems vain And empty. Life cometh once and never again, And the wages of age is memory." I came again and all were gone. And I lingered there by the sea alone. Why is the poet's pipe wed unto saddening thought ? the unsung songs that might have been mine, As the waves beat up in splendid rhyme. Why beats the heart in the breast Like the sea on the stones in unrest? In feverish hands the foam of the waves I caught. " Are we not more than foam in the hands of Time } '' " I said. Is there not more for life's clinging vine Than idols and dreams, more in death than dumb sleep ? " But the waves came in with their mighty sweep 88 THE AFTER-SONG. And eternal cry, "We are weary of toil and of strife, W'e have toiled for ever under a spell ; We have built the land where the nations dwell, And the mountains that dwell with the cloud, l)0th the small and the great. What is the use ? Man ever threads the maze Of Life in the mists of fate, While Beauty sits in desolate ways, And Greed is the king of th' ignoble crowd, And the world is wan with the war of creeds, Oppression, tyranny, martyr-filled flames, l^nsatisfied love, and forgotten dead, l-'iclds of war where the soldier bleeds, And pillars sculptured with deeds and names That tell of darkness and dragon dread. We have toiled for ever under a spell. We have built the land where the nations dwell ; We are weary of toil and of strife." O wind-tossed waves that wander for evermore ! O weary waves by the winding shore ! The life that turneth no thoughtless eye THE AFTER-SONG. 89 On the glories that round us He, On the myriad grandeurs of earth and sky, And the wonder of changine: sights, Can feel that the lowliest worm hath rights. And a broken shell on the beach Hath sadness deeper than speech. ij,..!..-,. I'KINTEU HY WILLIAM CLOWES AND SONS, LIMITEU, H)NUO.v AND HKCLLES.
