BIRDS OF PASSAGE 
 
 B 
 
PRELUDE. 
 
 What a twitter ! what a tumult ! what a whirr of 
 
 wheeling wings ! 
 Birds of Passage hear the message which the 
 
 Equinoctial brings. 
 
 Birds of Passage hear the message, and beneath the 
 
 flying clouds, 
 Mid the falling leaves of autumn, congregate in 
 
 clamorous crowds. 
 
 Shall they venture on the voyage ? are the nestlings 
 fledged for flight ; 
 
 Fit to face the fluctuant storm-winds and the ele- 
 mental night? 
 
4 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 What a twitter! what a tumult ! to the wild wind's 
 
 marching song 
 Multitudinous Birds of Passage round the cliffs of 
 
 England throng. 
 
 And o'er tempest-trodden Ocean, cloud-entangled 
 day and night, 
 
 Birds on birds, in corporate motion, wing a common- 
 wealth in flight. 
 
 Waves, like hollow graves beneath them, hoarsely- 
 howling, yawn for prey ; 
 
 And the welkin glooms above them shifting form- 
 less, grey in grey. 
 
 And across the Bay of Biscay on undaunted wing 
 
 they flee, 
 Where mild seas move musically murmuring of 
 
 the Odyssey ; 
 
PRELUDE. 5 
 
 Where the gurgling whirlpools glitter and by soft 
 
 Circean Straits, 
 Fell Charybdis lies in ambush, and the ravenous 
 
 Scylla waits ; 
 
 Where a large Homeric laughter lingers in the 
 
 echoing caves, 
 And in playful exultation Dolphins leap from 
 
 dimpling waves ; 
 
 Where, above the fair Sicilian, flock-browsed, flower- 
 pranked meadows, looms 
 
 ^tna — hoariest of Volcanoes — ominously veiled 
 in fumes ; 
 
 Where the seas roll blue and bluer, high and higher 
 
 arch the skies. 
 And as measureless as ocean new horizons meet 
 
 the eyes ; 
 
6 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 Where at night the ancient heavens bend above 
 
 the ancient earth, 
 With the young-eyed Stars enkindled fresh as at 
 
 their hour of birth ; 
 
 Where old Egypt's desert, stretching leagues on 
 
 leagues of level land, 
 Gleams with threads of channelled waters, green 
 
 with palms on either hand ; 
 
 Where the Fellah strides majestic through the 
 
 glimmering dourah plain. 
 And in rosy flames flamingoes rise from rustling 
 
 sugar-cane ; — 
 
 On and on, along old Nilus, seeking still an ampler 
 
 light, 
 O'er its monumental mountains. Birds of Passage 
 
 take their flight. 
 
PRELUDE. 7 
 
 Where the sacred Isle of Philae, twinned within the 
 
 sacred stream, 
 Floats, like some rapt Opium-eater's labyrinthine 
 
 lotos dream, 
 
 Birds on birds take up their quarters in each 
 
 creviced capital, 
 In each crack of frieze and cornice, in each cleft of 
 
 roof and wall. 
 
 And within those twilight-litten, holy halls of 
 
 Death and Birth, 
 Even the gaily twittering swallows, even the 
 
 swallows, hush their breath. 
 
 And they cast the passing shadows of their 
 
 palpitating wings 
 O'er the fallen gods of Egypt and the prostrate 
 
 heads of Kings. 
 
8 BIRDS OF PASSAGE, 
 
 Even as shadows Birds of Passage cast upon their 
 
 onward flight 
 Have men's generations vanished, waned and 
 
 vanished into night 
 
SONGS 
 
 OF THE 
 
 ORIENT. 
 
WELCOME TO EGYPT, 
 
 The Palms stood motionless as Pyramids 
 
 Against the golden halo of the sky ; 
 
 Interminable crops of wheat and rye 
 Mantled the plain with downy coverlids 
 Of silken green, where little freckled kids 
 
 Frolicked beneath the staid maternal eye ; 
 
 And babe-led buffaloes plashed trampling by, 
 Sprinkling cool water on their dusty lids. 
 
 Spake the grave Arab, as his flashing glance 
 Swept the large, luminous verdure's dewy sheen, 
 Sedately, with a bronze-like countenance : 
 
 " Neharak Said ! Lo, this happy day. 
 My country decks herself in sumptuous green, 
 
 And smiling welcome, Lady, bids you stay." 
 
13 BIRDS OF PASSAGE, 
 
 THE SPHINX, 
 
 Wanderer, behold Life's riddle writ in stone, 
 Fronting Eternity with lidless eyes ; 
 Of all that is beneath the changing skies, 
 
 Immutably abiding and alone. 
 
 The handiwork of hands unseen, unknown, 
 When Pharaohs of immortal dynasties 
 Built Pyramids to brave the centuries, 
 
 Cheating Annihilation of her own. 
 
 The heart grows hushed before it. Nay, methinks 
 That Man, and all on which Man wastes his 
 
 breath, 
 The World, and all the World inheriteth, 
 
 With infinite, inexorable links 
 
 Grappling the soul ; that love, hate, birth and death 
 
 Dwindle to nothingness before thee— Sphinx. 
 
13 
 
 SPHINX-MONE V. 
 
 Where Pyramids and temple-wrecks are piled 
 Confusedly on camel-coloured sands, 
 And the mute Arab motionlessly stands, 
 
 Like some swart god who never wept or smiled, — 
 
 I picked up mummy relics of the wild 
 
 (As sea-shells once with clutching baby hands), 
 And felt a wafture from old Motherlands, 
 
 And all the morning wonder of a Child 
 
 To find Sphinx-money. So the Beduin calls 
 Small fossils of the waste. Nay, poet's gold : 
 'Twill give thee entrance to those rites of old, 
 
 When hundred-gated Thebes, with storied walls. 
 Gleamed o'er her Plain, and vast processions rolled 
 
 To Amon-Ra through Karnak's pillared halls. 
 
14 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 THE TOMBS OF THE KINGS, 
 
 Where the mummied Kings of Egypt, wrapped 
 
 in linen fold on fold, 
 Couched for ages in their cofifins, crowned with 
 
 crowns of dusky gold, 
 
 Lie in subterranean chambers, biding to the day of 
 
 doom, 
 Counterfeit life's hollow semblance in each mazy 
 
 mountain tomb. 
 
 Grisly in their gilded coffins, mocking masks of 
 
 skin and bone, 
 Yet remain in change unchanging, balking Nature 
 
 of her own ; 
 
THE TOMBS OF THE KINGS. 15 
 
 Mured in mighty Mausoleums, walled in from the 
 
 night and day, 
 Lo, the mortal Kings of Egypt hold immortal 
 
 Death at bay. 
 
 For — so spake the Kings of Egypt — those colossal 
 ones whose hand 
 
 Held the peoples from Pitasa to the Kheta's con- 
 quered land ; 
 
 Who, with flash and clash of lances and war- 
 chariots, stormed and won 
 
 Many a town of stiff-necked Syria to high-towering 
 Askalon : 
 
 "We have been the faithful stewards of the death- 
 less gods on high ; 
 
 We have built them starry temples underneath the 
 starry sky. 
 
i6 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 " We have smitten rebel nations, as a child is 
 
 whipped with rods : 
 We the living incarnation of imperishable 
 
 gods. 
 
 " Shall we suffer Death to trample us to nothing- 
 ness ? and must 
 
 We be scattered, as the whirlwind blows about the 
 desert dust ? 
 
 " No ! Death shall not dare come near us, nor 
 
 Corruption shall not lay- 
 Hands upon our sacred bodies, incorruptible as 
 
 day. 
 
 " Let us put a bit and bridle, and rein in Time's 
 
 headlong course ; 
 Let us ride him through the ages as a master rides 
 
 his horse. 
 
THE TOMBS OF THE KINGS. 17 
 
 '' On the changing earth unchanging let us bide 
 
 till Time shall end, 
 Till, reborn in blest Osiris, mortal with Immortal 
 
 blend." 
 
 Yea, so spake the Kings of Egypt, they whose 
 
 lightest word was law, 
 At whose nod the far-off nations cowered, stricken 
 
 dumb with awe. 
 
 And Fate left the haughty rulers to work out their 
 
 monstrous doom ; 
 And, embalmed with myrrh and ointments, they 
 
 were carried to the tomb ; 
 
 Through the gate of Bab-el-Molouk, where the 
 
 sulphur hills lie bare, 
 Where no green thing casts a shadow in the noon's 
 
 tremendous glare ; 
 
 C 
 
i8 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 Where the unveiled Blue of heaven in its bare 
 
 intensity 
 Weighs upon the awe-struck spirit with the 
 
 world's immensity ; 
 
 Through the Vale of Desolation, where no beast or 
 
 bird draws breath, 
 
 To the Coffin-Hills of Tuat— the Metropolis of 
 Death. 
 
 Down — down — down into the darkness, where, 
 
 on either hand, dread Fate, 
 In the semblance of a serpent, watches by the 
 
 dolorous gate ; 
 
 Down — down — down into the darkness, where no 
 
 gleam of sun or star 
 Sheds its purifying radiance from the living world 
 
 afar ; 
 
THE TOMBS OF THE KINGS. 19 
 
 Where in labyrinthine windings, darkly hidden, 
 
 down and down, — 
 Proudly on his marble pillow, with old Egypt's 
 
 double crown, 
 
 And his mien of cold commandment, grasping still 
 
 his staff of state, 
 Rests the mightiest of the Pharaohs, whom the 
 
 world surnamed the Great. 
 
 Swathed in fine Sidonian ; linen, crossed hands 
 
 folded on the breast, 
 There the mummied Kings of Egypt lie within 
 
 each painted chest. 
 
 And upon their dusky foreheads Pleiades of flam- 
 ing gems, 
 
 Glowing through the nether darkness, flash from 
 luminous diadems. 
 
20 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 Where is Memphis ? Like a Mirage, melted into 
 
 empty air : 
 But these royal gems yet sparkle richly on their 
 
 raven hair. 
 
 Where is Thebes in all her glory, with her gates 
 
 of beaten gold ? 
 Where Syene, or that marvel, Heliopolis of 
 
 old? 
 
 Where is Edfu ? Where Abydos ? Where those 
 pillared towns of yore 
 
 Whose auroral temples glittered by the Nile's thick- 
 peopled shore ? 
 
 Gone as evanescent cloudlands, Alplike in the 
 
 afterglow ; 
 But these Kings hold fabc their bodies of four 
 
 thousand years ago. 
 
THE TOMBS OF THE KINGS. 21 
 
 Sealed up in their Mausoleums, in the bowels of 
 
 the hills, 
 There they hide from dissolution and Death's 
 
 swiftly grinding mills. 
 
 Scattering fire, Uraeus serpents guard the Tombs' 
 tremendous ^ate ; 
 
 s 
 
 While Thoth holds the trembling balance, weighs 
 the heart and seals its fate. 
 
 And a multitude of mummies in the swaddling 
 
 clothes of death, 
 Ferried o'er the sullen river, on and on still 
 
 hasteneth. 
 
 And around them and above them, blazoned on 
 
 the rocky walls, 
 Crowned with stars, enlaced by serpents, in divine 
 
 processionals, 
 
22 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 Ibis-headed, jackal-featured, vulture-hooded, pass 
 on high, 
 
 Gods on gods through Time's perspectives — pil- 
 grims of Eternity. 
 
 There, revealed by fitful flashes, in a gloom that 
 
 may be felt, 
 Wild Chimaeras flash from darkness, glittering like 
 
 Orion's belt. 
 
 And on high, o'er shining waters, in their barks 
 
 the gods sail by, 
 In the Sunboat and the Moonboat, rowed across 
 
 the rose-hued sky. 
 
 Night, that was before Creation, watches sphinx- 
 like, starred with eyes, 
 
 And the hours and days are passing, and the years 
 and centuries. 
 
THE TOMBS OF THE KINGS. 23 
 
 But these mummied Kings of Egypt, pictures of 
 
 a perished race, 
 Lie, of busy Death forgotten, face by immemorial 
 
 face. 
 
 Though the glorious sun above them, burning on 
 
 the naked plain, 
 Clothes the empty wildernesses with the golden, 
 
 glowing grain ; 
 
 Though the balmy Moon above them, floating in 
 
 the milky Blue, 
 Fills the empty wildernesses with a silver fall 
 
 of dew ; 
 
 Though life comes and flies unresting, like the 
 
 shadow which a dove 
 Casts upon the Sphinx, in passing, for a moment 
 
 from above ; — 
 
24 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 Still these mummied Kings of Egypt, wrapped in 
 
 linen, fold on fold, 
 Bide through ages in their coffins, crowned with 
 
 crowns of dusky gold. 
 
 Had the sun once brushed them lightly, or a breath 
 
 of air, they must 
 Instantaneously have crumbled into evanescent 
 
 dust. 
 
 Pale and passive in their prisons, they have con- 
 quered, chained to death ; 
 
 And their lineaments look living now as when they 
 last drew breath ! 
 
 Have they conquered ? Oh the pity of those Kings 
 
 within their tombs. 
 Locked in stony isolation in those petrifying 
 
 glooms ! 
 
THE TOMBS OF THE KINGS. 25 
 
 Motionless where all is motion in a rolling 
 
 Universe, 
 Heaven, by answering their prayer, turned it to a 
 
 deadly curse. 
 
 Left them fixed where all is fluid in a world of 
 
 star-winged skies ; 
 Where, in myriad transformations, all things pass 
 
 and nothing dies ; 
 
 Nothing dies but what is tethered, kept when 
 
 Time would set it free, 
 To fulfil Thought's yearning tension upward 
 
 through Eternity. 
 
26 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 HYMN TO HORUS, 
 
 Hail, God revived in glory ! 
 
 The night is over and done ; 
 Far mountains wrinkled and hoary, 
 Fair cities great in story, 
 
 Flash in the rising sun. 
 
 Behold the Dawn uncloses 
 The shutters of the night ; 
 
 The Waste and her oases 
 
 Blossoms a rose of roses 
 Beneath thy rose-red light. 
 
 Hail, golden House of Horus, 
 Lap of heaven's holiest God ! 
 
HYMN TO HORUS. 27 
 
 From lotos-banks before us 
 Birds in ecstatic chorus 
 Fly, singing, from the sod. 
 
 Up, up, into the shining. 
 
 Translucent morning sky, 
 No longer dull and pining, 
 With drooping plumes declining, 
 
 The storks and eagles fly. 
 
 The Nile amid his rushes 
 
 Reflects thy risen disk ; 
 A light of gladness gushes 
 Through kindling halls, and flushes 
 
 Each flaming Obelisk. 
 
 Vast Temples catch thy splendour ; 
 
 Vistas of columns shine 
 Celestial, with a tender 
 Rose-bloom on every slender 
 
 Papyrus-pillared shrine. 
 
28 BIRDS OF PASSAGE, 
 
 In manifold disguises, 
 
 And under many names, 
 Thrice-holy son of Isis, 
 We worship him who rises 
 
 A child-god fledged in flames. 
 
 Hail, sacred Hawk, who, winging, 
 
 Grossest the heavenly sea ! 
 
 With harp-playing, with singing, 
 
 With linen robes, white clinging. 
 
 We come, fair God, to thee. 
 
 Thou whom our soul espouses, 
 
 When weary of the way. 
 Enter our golden houses, 
 And, with thy mystic spouses, 
 Rest from the long, long way. 
 
29 
 
 NUIT. 
 
 The all upholding, 
 The all enfolding, 
 The all beholding, 
 
 Most secret Night ; 
 From whose abysses. 
 With wordless blisses, 
 The Sun's first kisses, 
 
 Called gods to light. 
 
 One god undying, 
 But multiplying. 
 Restlessly trying, 
 Doing : undone. 
 
30 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 Through myriad changes, 
 He sweeps and ranges ; 
 But life estranges 
 Many in one. 
 
 In wild commotion, 
 Out of the ocean, 
 With moan and motion, 
 
 Waves upon waves, 
 Mingling in thunder, 
 Rise and go under : 
 Break, life, asunder ; 
 
 Night has her graves. 
 
31 
 
 EGYPTIAN THEOSOPHY. 
 
 Far in the introspective East 
 A meditative Memphian Priest 
 
 Would solve — such is the Sage's curse — 
 The Riddle of the Universe. 
 
 Thought, turning round itself, revolved, 
 How was this puzzling World evolved ? 
 
 How came the starry sky to be, 
 The sun, the earth, the Nile, the sea ? 
 
 And Man, most tragi-comic Man, 
 Whence came he here, and where began ? 
 
32 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 Communing with the baffling sky, 
 Who twinkled, but made no reply, 
 
 He brooded, till his heated brain 
 Grew fairly addled with the strain. 
 
 For in that dim, benighted age 
 Philosopher and hoary sage 
 
 Had not yet had the saving grace 
 
 To teach the Schools that Time and Space, 
 
 And all the marvels they contain. 
 Are but the phantoms of the brain. 
 
 But that profound Egyptian Seer 
 Maybe — who knows ? — came pretty near ; 
 
 When, after days of strenuous fast, 
 He hit the startling truth at last : 
 
EGYPTIAN THEOSOPHY. 33 
 
 And on select, mysterious nights, 
 Veiled in occult, symbolic rites : 
 
 He taught — that once upon a time — 
 To disbelieve it were a crime — 
 
 The World's great Qgg — refute who can, 
 That meditates on Life and Man — 
 
 While deafening cacklings spread the news — 
 Was laid by an Almighty Goose. 
 
 D 
 
3* BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 THE MOON OF RAMADAN, 
 
 The sunset melts upon the Nile, 
 
 The stony desert glows, 
 Beneath heaven's universal smile, 
 
 One burning damask rose ; 
 And like a Peri's pearly boat. 
 
 No longer than a span, 
 Look, faint on fiery sky afloat, 
 
 The Moon of Ramadan. 
 
 Our boat drifts idly with the Stream, 
 Our boatmen ship the oar ; 
 
 Vistas of endless temples gleam 
 On either topaz shore ; 
 
THE MOON OF RAMADAN. 35 
 
 And swimming over groves of Palm, 
 
 A crescent weak and wan, 
 There steals into the perfect calm 
 
 The Moon of Ramadan. 
 
 All nature seems to bask in peace 
 
 And hush her lowest sigh ; 
 Above the river's golden fleece 
 
 The happy Halcyons fly. 
 And lost in some old lotos dream, 
 
 The pensive Pelican 
 Sees mirrored in the mazy stream 
 
 The Moon of Ramadan. 
 
 Black outlined on the golden air, 
 
 A turbaned Silhouette, 
 The Mueddin invites to prayer 
 
 From many a Minaret 
 Our dusky boatmen hear the call, 
 
 And prostrate, man on man, 
 
36 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 They bow, adoring, one and all, 
 The Moon of Ramadan. 
 
 Where Luxor's rose-flushed columns shine 
 
 Above the river's brim, 
 The priests with incense once, and wine, 
 
 Made sacrifice to Him, 
 The highest god of Thebes, and head 
 
 Of all the heavenly clan ; 
 But now the Moslem hails instead 
 
 The Moon of Ramadan. 
 
 The gods have come, the gods have gone, 
 
 Yet wedded to their walls. 
 Winged with the serpent of the Sun 
 
 In mute processionals. 
 They stride from door to massy door, 
 
 Bound nations in their van, 
 Though Amon's Sun has waned before 
 
 The Moon of Ramadan. 
 
THE MOON OF RAMADAN. yj 
 
 Yea, even proud Egypt's proudest king, 
 
 Who chastised rebel lands, 
 And brought his gods for offering 
 
 Mountains of severed hands ; 
 Who singly, like a god of War, 
 
 Smote hosts that swerved and ran, 
 Lies low 'neath Allah's scimetar — 
 
 The Moon of Ramadan. 
 
 And Isis, Queen, whose sacred disk's 
 
 Horned splendour crowned her brow, 
 While fires of flashing Obelisks 
 
 Flamed in the Afterglow ; 
 And white-robed priests who served her shrine 
 
 Have turned Mahommedan, 
 And worship Him who wears for sign 
 
 The Moon of Ramadan. 
 
 The rosy lotos, flower and leaf, 
 Which wreathed each sacred lake. 
 
BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 V/ith Nature's loveliest bas-relief, 
 Has followed in their wake ; 
 
 Yea, with the last true Pharaoh's death, 
 The lotos leaves, grown wan, 
 
 Have changed to lily white beneath 
 The Moon of Ramadan. 
 
 The gods may come, the gods may go. 
 
 And royal realms change hands ; 
 But the most ancient Nile will flow, 
 
 And flood the desert sands ; 
 And nightly will he glass the stars' 
 
 Unearthly caravan. 
 Nor care if it be Rome's red Mars 
 
 Or Moon of Ramadan. 
 
 The sunset fades upon the Nile ; 
 
 The desert's stony gloom, 
 Receding blankly mile on mile. 
 
 Grows silent as a tomb. 
 
THE MOON OF RAMADAN. 39 
 
 All weary wanderers, man and beast, 
 
 Hie, fasting, to the Khan, 
 While shines above their nightly feast 
 
 The Moon of Ramadan. 
 
40 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 THE BEAUTIFUL BEESHAREEN 
 
 BOY, 
 
 Beautiful, black-eyed boy, 
 O lithe-limbed Beeshareen ! 
 
 Face that finds no maid coy, 
 Page for some peerless queen : 
 
 Some Orient queen of old. 
 
 Sumptuous in woven gold, 
 
 Close-clinging fold on fold, 
 Lightning, with gems between. 
 
 Bred in the desert, where 
 
 Only to breathe and be 
 Alive in living air 
 
 Is finest ecstasy ; 
 
THE BEAUTIFUL BEESHAREEN BOY. ^\ 
 
 Where just to ride or rove, 
 With sun or stars above, 
 Intoxicates like love, 
 When love shall come to thee. 
 
 Thy lovely limbs are bare ; 
 
 Only a rag, in haste. 
 Draped with a princely air. 
 
 Girdles thy slender waist. 
 And gaudy beads and charms, 
 Dangling from neck and arms. 
 Ward off dread spells and harms 
 
 Of Efreets of the waste. 
 
 Caressed of wind and sun. 
 Across the white-walled town 
 
 Fawnlike we saw thee run. 
 Light Love in Mocha brown ! 
 
42 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 Wild Cupid, without wings, 
 Twanging thy viol strings ; 
 With crocodiles and rings 
 Bartered for half a crown. 
 
 Spoilt darling of our bark, 
 Smiling with teeth as white 
 
 As when across the dark 
 
 There breaks a flash of light. 
 
 And what a careless grace 
 
 Showed in thy gait and pace ; 
 
 Eyes starlike in a face 
 Sweet as a Nubian night ! 
 
 Better than Felt or Fez, 
 High on thy forehead set, 
 
 Countless in lock and tress, 
 Waved a wild mane of jet. 
 
THE BEAUTIFUL BEESHAREEN BOY. 43 
 
 Kings well might envy thee 
 What courts but rarely see, 
 Curls of rich ebony 
 Coiled in a coronet. 
 
 Lo — in dim days long since — 
 
 The strolling Almehs tell, 
 Thou shouldst have been a prince, 
 
 Boy of the ebon fell ! 
 If truth the poet sings, 
 Thy tribe, oh Beduin, springs 
 From those lost tribes of Kings, 
 Once Kings in Israel. 
 
 Ah me ! the camp-fires gleam 
 
 Out yonder, where the sands 
 Fade like a lotos dream 
 
 In hollow twilight lands. 
 
44 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 Our sail swells to the blast, 
 Our boat speeds far and fast, 
 Farewell ! And to the last 
 Smile, waving friendly hands. 
 
 From England's storm-girt isle, 
 O'er seas where seagulls wail, 
 
 Rocked on the rippling Nile, 
 We drift with drooping sail. 
 
 On waters hushed at night. 
 
 Where stars of Egypt write 
 
 In hieroglyphs of light 
 Their undeciphered tale. 
 
 Forlorn sits Assouan ; 
 
 Where is her boy, her pride ?- 
 Now in the lamplit Khan, 
 
 Now by the riverside. 
 
THE BEAUTIFUL BEESHAREEN BOY. 45 
 
 Or where the Soudanese, 
 Under mimosa trees, ; 
 Chaunt mournful melodies, 
 
 We've sought him far and wide. 
 
 Oh, desert-nurtured Child, 
 
 How dared they carry thee. 
 Far from thy native Wild, 
 
 Across the Western Sea? 
 Packed off, poor boy, at last, 
 With many a plaster cast 
 Of plinth and pillar vast, 
 
 And waxen mummies piled ! 
 
 Ah ! just like other ware. 
 
 For a lump sum or so 
 Shipped to the World's great Fair — 
 
 The big Chicago Show ! 
 
46 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 With mythic beasts and things, 
 Beetles and bulls with wings, 
 And imitation Sphinx, 
 
 Ranged row on curious row ! 
 
 Beautiful, black-eyed boy ; 
 
 Ah me ! how strange it is 
 That thou, the desert's joy, 
 
 Whom heavenly winds would kis 
 With Ching and Chang-hwa ware, 
 Blue pots and bronzes rare, 
 Shouldst now be over there 
 
 Shown at Porkopolis. 
 
 Gone like a lovely dream, 
 Child of the starry smile ; 
 
 Gone from the glowing stream 
 Glassing its greenest isle ! 
 
THE BEAUTIFUL BEESHAREEN BOY. 47 
 
 We've sought, but sought in vain ; 
 Thou wilt not come again, 
 Never for bliss or pain, 
 
 Home to thy orphaned Nile. 
 
48 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 THE DYING DRAGOMAN. 
 
 Far in the fiery wilderness, 
 
 Beyond the town of Assouan, 
 Left languishing in sore distress. 
 
 There lay a dying Dragoman, 
 Alone amid the waste, alone, 
 The hot sand burnt him to the bone ; 
 And on his breast, like heated stone, 
 
 The burden of the air did press. 
 
 His head was pillowed on a tomb, 
 Reared to some holy Sheik of old ; 
 
 The irresistible Simoom 
 
 Whirled drifts of sand that rose and rolled 
 
THE DYING DRAGOMAN. 49 
 
 Around him, and the panting air 
 Was one sulphureous spectral glare, 
 Shot with such gleams as lights the lair 
 Of tigers in a jungle's gloom. 
 
 Groaning, he closed his bloodshot eyes, 
 As if to shut out all he feared ; 
 
 And greedily a swarm of flies 
 
 Fell on his face and tangled beard. 
 
 He lay like one who ne'er would lift 
 
 His head above that ashy drift ; 
 
 When lo, there gleamed across a rift 
 The blue oasis of the skies. 
 
 Like smoke dispersing far and wide. 
 The draggled sands were blown away ; 
 
 The wild clouds in a refluent tide 
 Receded from the face of day. 
 
 E 
 
50 BIRDS OF PASSAGE, 
 
 The lingering airs yet lightly blew 
 Till the last speck cleared out of view, 
 And left the hushed Eternal Blue, 
 And nothing else beside. 
 
 Then once again, with change of moods, 
 A mighty shadow, broadening, fell 
 
 Across those shadeless solitudes, 
 Without a Palm, without a Well. 
 
 Wing wedged in wing, an ordered mass 
 
 Unnumbered numbers pass and pass. 
 
 As if one Will, one only, was 
 In all those moving multitudes. 
 
 A chord thrilled in the sick man's brain ; 
 
 He raised his heavy-lidded eyes. 
 He raised his heavy head with pain. 
 
 And caught a glimpse of netted skies. 
 
THE DYING DRAGOMAN, 51 
 
 Meshed in ten thousand wings in flight 
 That cleft the air. Oh wondrous sight ! 
 He gasped, he shrieked in sheer delight : 
 " The Storks ! The Storks fly home again ! 
 
 " I too, O Storks, I too, even I, 
 
 Would see my native land again. 
 Oh, had I wings that I might fly 
 
 With you, wild birds, across the main ! 
 Take, take me to the land, I pray, 
 The land where nests are full in May, 
 The land where my young children play : 
 Oh, take me with you, or I die. 
 
 " My lonely heart blooms like a flower. 
 My children, when I think of you ; 
 
 My love is like an April shower, 
 
 And fills my heart with drops of dew. 
 
52 BIRDS OF PASSAGE, 
 
 Along their unknown tracks, ah me ! 
 The Storks will fly across the sea ; 
 My children soon will hail with glee 
 
 Their red bills on the rain-washed tower." 
 
 Home-sickness seized him for the herds 
 
 That browse upon the fresh green leas ; 
 Home-sickness for the cuckoo birds 
 That shout afar in feathery trees ; 
 For running stream and rippling rill 
 That, racing, turned his woodland mill : 
 And tears on tears began to fill 
 His eyes, confusing all he sees. 
 
 Again he doats on rosy cheeks 
 Of children rolling in the grass ; 
 
 Again the busy days and weeks, 
 
 The months and years serenely pass. 
 
THE DYING DRAGOMAN. 53 
 
 Black forest clocks tick day and night, 
 His board and bed are snowy white, 
 His humble house is just as bright 
 As if it were a house of glass. 
 
 Again, beneath the high-peaked roof, 
 His wife's unresting shuttle flies 
 
 Across the even warp and woof; 
 Again his thrifty mother plies 
 
 Her wheel, that hums like noontide bees ; 
 
 And lint-locked babes about her knees 
 
 Hark to strange tales of talking trees, 
 And Storks deep versed in sage replies. 
 
 Again the ring of swinging chimes 
 Calls all the pious folk to church. 
 
 With shining Sunday face, betimes. 
 
 Through rustling woods of beech and birch 
 
54 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 Full of moist glimmering hollows where 
 The pines bow murmuring as in prayer, 
 And musically through the air 
 The forest's mighty Choral swells. 
 
 Again, O Lord, again he sees 
 
 The place where Heaven came down one day ; 
 Where, in a space of bloom and bees, 
 
 He won his wife one morn of May. 
 Warm pulses shook and thrilled his blood, 
 Wild birds were singing in the wood, 
 The flowering world in bridal mood 
 
 Joined in the Pinewood's symphonies. 
 
 Again, O Lord, in grief and fear, 
 He bids good-bye to all he loves ; 
 
 The waters swell, the woods are sere, 
 The Storks are gone, and hushed the doves. 
 
THE DYING DRAGOMAN. 55 
 
 He goes with them ; he goes to heal 
 The sickness whose insidious seal 
 Is set on him. Ah, tears will steal 
 And blur the Storks that disappear. 
 
 A furnace fire behind the hill, 
 
 The sun has burnt itself away ; 
 The ghost of light, transparent, chill, 
 
 Yet floats upon the edge of day. 
 And all the desert holds its breath 
 As if it felt and crouched beneath 
 The filmy, flying bat of death 
 About a heart for ever still. 
 
 And one by one, seraphic, bland, 
 The bright stars open in the skies ; 
 
 And large above the Shadow land 
 The white-faced moon begins to rise. 
 
56 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 And all the wilderness grows wan 
 Beneath the stars, that one by one 
 Look down upon the lifeless man 
 As if they were his children's eyes. 
 
A FANTASY, 
 
 I WAS an Arab, 
 I loved my horse ; 
 
 Swift as an arrow 
 He swept the course. 
 
 Sweet as a lamb 
 He came to hand ; 
 
 He was the flower 
 Of all the land. 
 
 Through lonely nights 
 I rode afar; 
 
 God lit His lights- 
 Star upon star. 
 
58 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 God's in the desert ; 
 
 His breath the air : 
 Beautiful desert, 
 
 Boundless and bare ! 
 
 Free as the wild wind, 
 Light as a foal ; 
 
 Ah, there is room there 
 To stretch one's soul. 
 
 Far reached my thought, 
 Scant were my needs : 
 
 A few bananas 
 And lotus seeds. 
 
 Sparkling as water 
 Cool in the shade, 
 
 Ibrahim's daughter, 
 Beautiful maid. 
 
A FANTASY. 59 
 
 Out of thy Kulleh, 
 
 Fairest and first, 
 Give me to drink 
 
 Quencher of thirst. 
 
 I am athirst, girl ; 
 
 Parched with desire, 
 Love in my bosom 
 
 Burns as a fire. 
 
 Green thy oasis, 
 
 Waving with Palms ; 
 Oh, be no niggard, 
 
 Maid, with thy alms. 
 
 Kiss me with kisses, 
 
 Buds of thy mouth, 
 Sweeter than Cassia 
 
 Fresh from the South. 
 
6o BIRDS OF PASSAGE, 
 
 Bind me with tresses, 
 Clasp with a curl ; 
 
 And in caresses 
 Stifle me, girl. 
 
 I was an Arab 
 
 Ages ago ! 
 Hence this home-sickness 
 
 And all my woe.

 THE DESERT, 
 
 Uncircumscribed, unmeasured, vast, 
 
 Eternal as the Sea ; 
 What lacks the tidal sea thou hast — 
 
 Profound stability. 
 
 Beneath the sun that burns and brands 
 In hushed Noon's halting breath, 
 
 Calm as the Sphinx upon thy sands 
 Thou art — nay, calm as death. 
 
 The desert foxes hide in holes, 
 
 The jackal seeks his lair ; 
 The sombre rocks, like reddening coals, 
 
 Glow lurid in the glare. 
 
62 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 Only some vulture far away, 
 
 Bald-headed, harpy-eyed, 
 Flaps down on lazy wing to prey 
 
 On what has lately died. 
 
 No palm tree lifts a lonely shade, '' 
 
 No dove is on the wing ; 
 It seems a land which Nature made 
 
 Without a living thing. 
 
 Or wreckage of some older world, 
 Ere children grew, or flowers. 
 
 When rocks and hissing stones were hurled 
 In hot, volcanic showers. 
 
 The solemn Blue bends over all ; 
 
 Far as winged thought may flee 
 Roll ridges of black mountain wall. 
 
 And flat sands like the sea. 
 
THE DESERT. 63 
 
 No trace of footsteps to be seen, 
 
 No tent, no smoking roof ; 
 Nay, even the vagrant Beeshareen 
 
 Keeps warily aloof. 
 
 But yon, mid tumbled hillocks prone, 
 
 Some human form I scan — 
 A human form, indeed, but stone : 
 
 A cold, colossal Man ! 
 
 How came he here mid piling sands, 
 
 Like some huge cliff enisled, 
 Osiris-wise, with folded hands, 
 
 Mute spirit of the Wild ? 
 
 Ages ago the hands that hewed, 
 
 And in the living rock 
 Carved this Colossus, granite-thewed, 
 
 And curled each crispy lock : 
 
64 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 Ages ago have dropped to rest, 
 And left him passive, prone. 
 
 Forgotten on earth^s barren breast, 
 Half statue and half stone. 
 
 And Persia ruled and Palestine ; 
 
 And o'er her violet seas 
 Arose, with marble gods divine, 
 
 The grace of god-like Greece. 
 
 And Rome, the Mistress of the World, 
 
 Amid her diadem 
 Of Eastern Empires set impearled 
 
 The Scarab's mystic gem. 
 
 Perchance he has been lying here 
 Since first the world began. 
 
 Poor Titan of some earlier sphere] 
 Of prehistoric Man ! 
 
THE DESERT, 65 
 
 To whom we are as idle flies, 
 That fuss and buzz their day ; 
 
 While still immutable he lies, 
 As long ago he lay. 
 
 Empurpled in the Afterglow, 
 
 Thou, with the Sun alone, 
 Of all the stony waste below. 
 
 Art King, but king of stone ! 
 
 Uncircumscribed, unmeasured, vast, 
 
 Eternal as the Sea, 
 The present here becomes the past, 
 
 For all futurity. 
 
66 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 SCARABAiUS SISYPHUS. 
 
 I've watched thee, Scarab ! Yea, an hour in vain 
 I've watched thee, slowly toiling up the hill, 
 Pushing thy lump of mud before thee still 
 
 With patience infinite and stubborn strain. 
 
 Strive as thou mayst, spare neither time nor pain, 
 To screen thy burden from all chance of ill ; 
 Push, push, with all a beetle's force of will, 
 
 Thy ball, alas ! rolls ever down again. 
 
 Toil without end ! And why ? That after thee 
 Dim hosts of groping Scarabs too shall climb 
 
 This self-same height ? Accursed progeny 
 Of Sisyphus, what antenatal crime 
 
 Has doomed us too to roll incessantly 
 
 Life's Stone, recoiling from the Alps of time ?

 THE COLOSSI OF THE PLAIN. 
 
 Ancient of Days ! Before the Trojan Wars 
 You towered as now in your colossal prime, 
 Watching the rosy footed morning climb 
 
 O'er far Arabia's flushing mountain bars. 
 
 Despite your weird disfigurement and scars 
 You dwarf all other monuments. Sublime 
 Survivors of old Thebes ! you baffle Time, 
 
 And sit in silent conclave with the Stars. 
 
 Ah, once below you through the glittering plain 
 
 Stretched avenues of Sphinxes to the Nile ; 
 And, flanked with towers, each consecrated fane 
 Enshrined its god. The broken gods lie prone 
 In roofless halls, their hallowed terrors gone, 
 Helpless beneath Heaven's penetrating smile. 
 
68 BIRDS OF PASSAGE, 
 
 MOURNING WOMEN. 
 
 All veiled in black, with faces hid from sight, 
 Crouching together in the jolting cart, 
 What forms are these that pass alone, apart, 
 
 In abject apathy to life's delight? 
 
 The motley crowd, fantastically bright, 
 
 Shifts gorgeous through each dazzling street 
 
 and mart ; 
 Only these sisters of the suffering heart 
 
 Strike discords in this symphony of light. 
 
 Most wretched women ! whom your prophet 
 dooms 
 To take love's penalties without its prize ! 
 
MOURNING WOMEN. 69 
 
 Yes ; you shall bear the unborn in your wombs, 
 And water dusty death with streaming eyes, 
 
 And, wailing, beat your breasts among the tombs ; 
 But souls ye have none fit for Paradise.

 THE SAKIYEH. 
 
 " How long shall Man be Nature's fool ?" Man cries ; 
 
 "Be like those great, gaunt oxen, drilled and 
 bound, 
 
 Inexorably driven round and round 
 To turn the water-wheel with bandaged eyes ? 
 And as they trudge beneath Egyptian skies, 
 
 Watering the wrinkled desert's beggared ground, 
 
 The hoarse Sakiyeh's lamentable sound 
 Fills all the land as with a people's sighs ? " 
 
 Poor Brutes ! Who in unconsciousness sublime, 
 Replenishing the ever-empty jars, 
 
 Endow the waste with palms and harvest gold : 
 And men, who move in rhythm with moving stars. 
 Should shrink to give the borrowed lives they 
 hold: 
 Bound blindfold to the groaning wheel of Time.

 INTERNAL FIRESIDES. 
 
 Bewilderingly, from wildly shaken cloud, 
 Invisible hands, deft moving everywhere, 
 Have woven a winding sheet of velvet air, 
 
 And laid the dead earth in her downy shroud. 
 
 And more and more, in white confusion, crowd 
 Wan, whirling flakes, while o'er the icy glare 
 Blue heaven that was glooms blackening o'er the 
 bare 
 
 Tree skeletons, to ruthless tempest bowed. 
 
 Nay, let the outer world be winter-locked ; 
 
 Beside the hearth of glowing memories 
 I warm my life. Once more our boat is rocked. 
 As on a cradle by the palm-fringed Nile ; 
 And, sharp-cut silhouettes, in single file, 
 
 Lank camels lounge against transparent skies.

 ON READING THE '^ RUBAIYAT' 
 OF OMAR KHAYYAM 
 
 IN A KENTISH ROSE GARDEN. 
 
 Beside a Dial in the leafy close, 
 Where every bush was burning with the Rose, 
 With million roses falling flake by flake 
 Upon the lawn in fading summer snows : 
 
 I read the Persian Poet's rhyme of old. 
 
 Each thought a ruby in a ring of gold — 
 
 Old thoughts so young, that, after all these years, 
 
 They're writ on every rose-leaf yet unrolled. 
 
 You may not know the secret tongue aright 
 The Sunbeams on their rosy tablets write ; 
 Only a poet may perchance translate 
 Those ruby-tinted hieroglyphs of light.

 They seem to be embodied light 
 Transfigured into flowers.

 AVE MARIA IN ROME, 
 
 Far away dim violet mountains 
 
 Fade away from sight ; 
 Flashing from fantastic fountains, 
 
 Jets the liquid light, 
 Where from Nymph's or Triton's lip 
 Bubbling waters drip and drip, 
 
 Bubbling day and night. 
 
 Pealed from tower to answering tower, 
 
 O'er the city swells. 
 Ringing in the hallowed hour. 
 
 Rhythm of bells on bells ; 
 And on wings of Choral Song, 
 Confluent hearts to Mary throng, 
 
 From low, cloistered cells. 
 
AVE MARIA IN ROME. 77

 Pinnacled o'er Rome.

 Across fresh lawns, and flecked with light, 
 
 Old Ilex groves walled round with bay, — 
 
 I saw thee stoop, oh lady sweet, 
 And with those pale, frail hands of thine 
 
 Gather the spring flowers at our feet, 
 Fair as some late-born Proserpine. 
 
 Yea, gathering flowers, thou might'st have been 
 That goddess of the ethereal brow, 
 
 Revisiting this radiant scene 
 
 From realm of dolorous shades below.

 Blown with the golden dust of flowering trees. 
 
 On fleeting gusts of desultory song, 
 
 I let my soul drift out into the Spring ; 
 
 The Psyche flies and palpitates among 
 The palpitating creatures on the wing. 
 
 Go, happy Soul ! run fluid in the wave, 
 Vibrate in light, escape thy natal curse ;

 But as the heir of all the Universe.

 Overfond, overfleet.

 Blossoming white and gold

 Rest thee for ever.

 While, left for woe or weal, 
 Thou hast a heart to feel.

 THE MIRROR OF DIANA. 
 
 POPULAR NAME FOR LAKE NEMI. 
 
 She floats into the quiet skies, 
 Where, in the circle of the hills, 
 Her immemorial mirror fills 
 With light, as of a Virgin's eyes 
 When, love a-tremble in their blue, 
 They glow twin violets dipped in dew. 
 
 Mild as a metaphor of Sleep, 
 Immaculately maiden-white, 
 The Queen Moon of ancestral night 
 Beholds her image in the deep : 
 As if a-gaze she beams above 
 Lake Nemi's magic glass of love. 
 
THE MIRROR OF DIANA, 85 
 
 White rose, white lily of the vale, 
 Perfume the even breath of night ; 
 In many a burst of sweet delight 
 
 The love throb of the nightingale 
 
 Swells through lush flowering woods and fills 
 
 The circle of the listening hills. 
 
 White rose, white lily of the skies, 
 
 The Moon-flower blossoms in the lake ; 
 The nightingale for her fair sake 
 With hopeless love's impassioned cries 
 Seems fain to sing till song must kill 
 Himself with one tumultuous trill. 
 
 And all the songs and all the scents, 
 The light of glowworms and the fires 
 Of fire-flies in the cypress spires ; 
 
 And all the wild wind instruments 
 
 Of pine and ilex as the breeze 
 
 Sweeps out their mystic harmonies ; —

 All are but Messengers of May 
 To that white orb of maiden fire 
 Who fills the moth with mad desire 
 
 To die enamoured in her ray,

 Into a fairy looking-glass. 
 
 O Beauty, far and far above

 Far, far above life's narrow pale, 
 
 O Unattainable ! O Love !

 Lo, where he beams, ambrosial, yellow curled, 
 The God of Day, with unapparent might, 
 Checking his fiery steeds, that plunge and bite 
 
 As if from heaven his Chariot should be hurled. 
 
 And on the Clouds a many-tinted band 
 
 Of Hours dance round their Leader, grave or gay 
 As glowing near or in his wake they sway ; 
 
 While poised above the sun-awakened land 
 The Morning Star, fair herald of the day.

 Fly off in dancing down, which falls

 And rosy revelry.

 Not when my shuddering hands were doomed to 
 close 
 The unshrinking eyelids of the stony dead ; — 
 Not then I missed my God, not then — but said : 
 
 " Let me not burden God with all man's woes ! "

 When peak on flashing Alpine peak is trod

 Fine as a queen's dowry for workaday girls.

 Where the silvery sunlight tunnels the shade. 
 
 Where snowflakes of butterflies airily chasing 
 Each other in trios flash down the arcade : ' 
 
94 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 Arrayed in white muslin the new wedded bride 
 Looks fresh as a daisy, the groom by her side. 
 
 The guests flitted round her with light-hearted 
 
 laughter ; 
 
 They hunted the slipper, they kissed in the ring ; 
 
 Of days gone before and of days coming after 
 
 They thought of no more than the bird on the wing. 
 
 Were the loves and the laughter and lilacs of 
 
 May, 
 With the sunshine above, not enough for the 
 day? 
 
 And the lilacs, the lilacs are blowing and glowing ! 
 They pluck them by handfuls and pile in a mass ; 
 And the sap of the Springtide is rising and flowing 
 Through the veins of the greenwood, the blades 
 of the grass ; 
 Up, up to the last leaf a dance on the tree, 
 It leaps like a fountain abundant and free. 
 
A BRIDAL IN THE BOIS DE BOULOGNE. 95 
 
 The blackbirds are building their nests in the bushes, 
 
 And whistle at work, as the workpeople do ; 
 The trees swing their censers, the wind comes in 
 gushes 
 Of delicate scent mixed of honey and dew. 
 Now loud and now low through the garrulous 
 
 trees 
 A burst of gay music is blown with the breeze. 
 
 And the girls and the boys from the faubourgs of 
 Paris, 
 The premature gamins as wise as fourscore ; 
 The vain little Margots and wide-awake Harrys, 
 Surprised into childhood, grew simple once more, 
 And vied with the cuckoo as, shouting at play, 
 They dashed through the thickets and darted 
 away. 
 
 Ah, fair is the forest's green glimmering splendour. 
 The leaves of the lime tree a network of light ; 
 
96 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 And fringing long aisles of acacia, a tender 
 And delicate veiling of virginal white, 
 
 Where, framed in the gladdening flowers of 
 
 May, 
 The bride and her bridesmaids beam gladder 
 than they. 
 
 They have crowned her brown tresses with haw- 
 thorn in blossom, 
 They have made her a necklace of daisies for 
 pearls ; 
 They have set the white lily against her white 
 bosom, 
 Enthroned on the grass mid a garland of girls ; 
 With the earth for a footstool, the sky -roof 
 
 above. 
 She is queen of the Springtide and Lady of 
 Love. 
 
 Oh, the lilacs, the lilacs are glowing and blowing ! 
 They pluck them by bushels as blithely they go 
 
A BRIDAL IN THE BOIS DE BOULOGNE. 97 
 
 Through the green, scented dusk where the haw- 
 thorn is showing 
 A luminous whiteness of blossoming snow. 
 And the Sun ere he goes gives the Moon half 
 
 his light, 
 As a lamp to lead Love on the bridal night.

 A WHITE NIGHT, 
 
 The land lay deluged by the Moon ; 
 
 The molten silver of the lake 
 Shimmered in many a broad lagoon 
 
 Between grey isles, whose copse and brake 
 Lay folded on the water's breast, 
 Like halcyons in a floating nest. 
 
 And like a child who trusts in God 
 
 When in the dark it lies alone, 
 Stretched on the aromatic sod 
 
 My heart was laid against your own. 
 Against your heart, which seemed to be 
 Mine own to all Eternity. 
 
A WHITE NIGHT. 99 
 
 • 
 Lapped in illimitable light, 
 
 The woods and waters seemed to swoon, 
 And clouds like angels winged the night 
 
 And slipped away into the Moon, 
 Lost in that radiant flame above 
 As we were lapped and lost in love.

 THE FOREST POOL, 
 
 Lost amid gloom and solitude, 
 
 A pool lies hidden in the wood, 
 
 A pool the autumn rain has made 
 
 Where flowers with their fair shadows played. 
 
 Bare as a beggar's board, the trees 
 Stand in the water to their knees ; 
 The birds are mute, but far away 
 I hear a bloodhound's sullen bay. 
 
 Blue-eyed forget-me-nots that shook, 
 Kissed by a little laughing brook, 
 Kissed too by you with lips so red, 
 Float in the water drowned and dead.

 NOONDAY REST, 
 
 The willows whisper very, very low 
 
 Unto the listening breeze ; 
 Sometimes they lose a leaf which, flickering slow. 
 
 Faints on the sunburnt leas. 
 
 Beneath the whispering boughs and simmering 
 skies, 
 
 On the hot ground at rest. 
 Still as a stone, a ragged woman lies, 
 
 Her baby at the breast. 
 
 Nibbling around her browse monotonous sheep, 
 
 Flies buzz about her head ; 
 Her heavy eyes are shuttered by a sleep 
 
 As of the slumbering dead. 
 
NOONDAY REST. 103 
 
 The happy birds that live to love and sing, 
 
 Flitting from bough to bough, 
 Peer softly at this ghastly human thing 
 
 With grizzled hair and brow. 
 
 O'er what strange ways may not these feet have 
 trod 
 
 That match the cracking clay ? 
 Man had no pity on her — no, nor God — 
 
 A nameless castaway ! 
 
 But Mother Earth now hugs her to her breast, 
 
 Defiled or undefiled ; 
 And willows rock the weary soul to rest, 
 
 As she, even she, her child.

 CROSS-ROADS. 
 
 The rain beat in our faces, 
 And shrill the wild airs grew ; 
 
 The long-maned clouds in races 
 Coursed o'er heaven's windy blue. 
 
 The tortured trees were lashing 
 Each other in their wrath, 
 
 Their wet leaves wildly dashing 
 Across the forest path. 
 
 We did not heed the sweeping 
 Of storm=bewildered rain ; 
 
 Our cheeks were wet with weeping. 
 Our hearts were wrung with pain. 
 
CROSS-ROADS. 105 
 
 For where the cross-roads sever, 
 
 Parting to East and West, 
 We bade good-bye for ever

 THE MOAT. 
 
 Around this lichened home of hoary peace, 
 
 Invulnerable in its glassy moat, 
 
 A breath of ghostly summers seems to float 
 And murmur mid the immemorial trees. 
 The tender slopes, where cattle browse at ease, 
 
 Swell softly, like a pigeon's emerald throat ; 
 
 And, self-oblivious, Time forgets to note 
 The flight of velvet-footed centuries. 
 
 The very sunlight, hushed within the close. 
 Sleeps indolently by the Yew's slow shade ; 
 Still as a relic some old Master made 
 
 The jewelled peacock's rich enamel glows ; 
 
 And on yon mossy wall that youthful rose 
 Blooms like a rose that never means to fade.

 ANNE HATHA WAY'S 
 COTTAGE. 
 
 Is this the Cottage, ivy-girt and crowned, 
 
 And this the path down which our Shakespeare 
 
 ran, 
 When, in the April of his love, sweet Anne 
 Made all his mighty pulses throb and bound ; 
 Where, mid coy buds and winking flowers 
 around, 
 She blushed a rarer rose than roses can, 
 To greet her Will — even Him, fair Avon's 
 Swan — 
 Whose name has turned this plot to holy 
 ground ? 
 
no BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 To these dear walls, once dear to Shakespeare's 
 eyes, 
 Time's Vandal hand itself has done no wrong- : 
 This nestling lattice opened to his song, 
 When, with the lark, he bade his love arise 
 In words whose strong enchantment never dies — 
 Old as these flowers, and, like them, ever young.

 ANNE HATHAWAY, 
 
 His Eve of Women ! She, whose mortal lot 
 Was linked to an Immortal's unaware, 
 With Love's lost Eden in her blissful air, 
 
 Perchance would greet him in this blessed spot. 
 
 No shadow of the coming days durst blot, 
 The flower-like face, so innocently fair, 
 As lip met lip, and lily arms, all bare, 
 
 Clung round him in a perfect lover's knot. 
 
 Was not this Anne the flame-like daffodil 
 
 Of Shakespeare's March, whose maiden beauty 
 
 took 
 His senses captive ? Thus the stripling brook 
 
 Mirrors a wild flower nodding by the mill, 
 
 Then grows a river in which proud cities look. 
 
 And with a land's load widens seaward still.

 CLEVE WOODS. 
 
 Sweet Avon glides where clinging rushes seem 
 To stay his course, and, in his flattering glass, 
 Meadows and hills and mellow woodlands pass, 
 
 A fairer world as imaged in a dream. 
 
 And sometimes, in a visionary gleam. 
 
 From out the secret covert's tangled mass. 
 The fisher-bird starts from the rustling grass, 
 
 A jewelled shuttle shot along the stream. 
 
 Even here, methinks, when moon-lapped shallows 
 smiled 
 
 Round isles no bigger than a baby cot, 
 Titania found a glowworm-lighted child, 
 Led far astray, and, with anointing hand 
 
 Sprinkling clear dew from a forget-me-not, 
 Hailed him the Laureate of her Fairyland.

 LOST TREASURE, 
 
 The autumn day steals, pallid as a ghost, 
 Along these fields and man-forsaken ways ; 
 And o'er the hedgerows bramble-knotted maze 
 
 The whitening locks of Old Man's Beard are tost. 
 
 Here, shrunk by centuries of fire and frost, 
 A crab tree stands where — lingering gossip says — 
 In ocean-moated England's golden days. 
 
 Great treasure, in a frolic, once was lost. 
 
 Here — fresh from fumes of some Falstaffian bout, 
 When famous champions, fired by many a bet. 
 Had drained huge bumpers while the stars 
 would set — 
 Beneath its reeling branches by the way. 
 Till twice twelve hours of April bloom were out — 
 Locked in oblivion — Shakespeare lost a day.

 THE AVON. 
 
 What are the Willows whispering in a row, 
 
 Nodding their old heads o'er the river's edge ? 
 
 What does the West wind whisper to the sedge 
 And to the shame-faced purples drooping low ? 
 Why sobs the water, in its broken flow 
 
 Lapping against the grey weir's ruined ledge ? 
 
 And, in the thorny shelter of the hedge, 
 What bird unloads his little heart of woe ? ' 
 
 Green Avon's haunted ! Look, from yonder bank 
 The willow leans, that hath not ceased to weep, 
 
 Whence, hanging garlands, fair Ophelia sank ; 
 
 Since Jacques moped here the trees have had a 
 tongue ; 
 And all these streams and whispering willows keep 
 
 The moan of Desdemona's dying song.

 EVENSONG. 
 
 {HOLY TRINITY CHURCH.) 
 
 The hectic autumn's dilatory fire 
 
 Has turned this lime tree to a sevenfold brand, 
 Which, self consuming, lights the sunless land, 
 
 A death to which all poet souls aspire. 
 
 Above the graves, where all men's vain desire 
 Is hushed at last as by a Mother's hand, 
 And,Time confounded, Love's blank records stand. 
 
 The Evensong swells from the pulsing choir. 
 
 What incommunicable presence clings 
 
 To this grey church and willowy twilight stream ? 
 Am I the dupe of some delusive dream ? 
 
 Or, like faint fluid phosphorent rings 
 
 On refluent seas, doth Shakespeare's spirit gleam 
 
 Pervasive round these old familiar things ?

 SHAKESPEARE, 
 
 Yearning to know herself for all she was, 
 Her passionate clash of warring good and ill, 
 Her new life ever ground in Death's old mill, 
 
 With every delicate detail and ejt masse, — 
 
 Blind Nature strove. Lo, then it came to pass, 
 That Time, to work out her unconscious Will, 
 Once wrought the Mind which she had groped for 
 still, 
 
 And she beheld herself as in a glass. 
 
 The world of men, unrolled before our sight, 
 Showed like a map, where stream and waterfall 
 
 And village-cradling vale and cloud-capped height 
 Stand faithfully recorded, great and small ; 
 
 For Shakespeare was, and at his touch, with light 
 Impartial as the Sun's, revealed the All.

 CEDARS OF LEBANON AT 
 WARWICK CASTLE, 
 
 Cedars of Lebanon ! Labyrinths of Shade, 
 
 Making a mystery of open day ; 
 
 With layers of gloom keeping the Sun at bay, 
 And solemn boughs which never bloom or fade. 
 Contemporaries of that great Crusade, 
 
 When militant Christendom leaped up one day, 
 
 Fired by the Cross, and, rushing to the fray, 
 Poured Eastward as oracular Peter bade. 
 
 Borne hither when Christ's Sepulchre was won, 
 And planted by hoar Warwick's feudal walls. 
 
 You grew, o'ershadowing every rival stem. 
 When English woods don May's fresh coronals. 
 
 Say, — Mourn ye still for lost Jerusalem, 
 Funer:^l trees — beloved of Lebanon ?

 PASTICHE. 
 
 I. 
 
 Love, oh, Love's a dainty sweeting, 
 Wooing now, and now retreating ; 
 Brightest joy and blackest care. 
 Swift as h'ght, and h'ght as air, 
 
 II. 
 Would you seize and fix and capture 
 All his evanescent rapture ? 
 Bind him fast with golden curls, 
 Fetter with a chain of pearls ? 
 
 III. 
 
 Would you catch him in a net. 
 Like a white moth prankt with jet? 
 
122 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 Clutch him, and his bloomy wing 
 Turns a dead, discoloured thing ! 
 
 IV. 
 Pluck him like a rosebud red, 
 And he leaves a thorn instead ; 
 Let him go without a care, 
 And he follows unaware. 
 
 V. 
 
 Love, oh, Love's a dainty sweeting. 
 Wooing now, and now retreating ; 
 Lightly come, and lightly gone, 
 Lost when most securely won ! 
 
123 
 
 MARRIAGE. 
 
 Love springs as lightly from the human heart 
 As springs the lovely rose upon the brier, 
 Which turns the common hedge to floral fire, 
 
 As Love wings Time with rosy-feathered dart. 
 
 But marriage is the subtlest work of art 
 Of all the arts which lift the spirit higher ; 
 The incarnation of the heart's desire — 
 
 Which masters Time — set on Man's will apart. 
 
 The Many try, but oh ! how few are they 
 To whom that finest of the arts is given 
 
 Which shall teach Love, the rosy runaway, 
 To bide from bridal Morn to brooding Even. 
 
 Yet this — this only — is the narrow way 
 
 By which, while yet on earth, we enter heaven. 
 
124 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 ONCE WE PLAYED. 
 
 Once we played at love together — 
 Played it smartly, if you please ; 
 
 Lightly, as a windblown feather, 
 Did we stake a heart apiece. 
 
 Oh, it was delicious fooling ! 
 
 In the hottest of the game, 
 Without thought of future cooling, 
 
 All too quickly burned Life's flame. 
 
 In this give-and-take of glances. 
 Kisses sweet as honey dews, 
 
 When we played with equal chances. 
 Did you win, or did I lose ? 
 
ONCE WE PLAYED. 125 
 
 Was your heart then hurt to bleeding, 
 
 In the ardour of the throw ? 
 Was it then I lost, unheeding, 
 
 Lost my heart so long ago ? 
 
 Who shall say ? The game is over. 
 
 Of us two who loved in fun, 
 One lies low beneath the clover, 
 
 One lives lonelv in the sun.

 I WILL take your thoughts to my heart ; 
 
 I will keep and garner them there 
 Locked in a casket apart. 
 
 Far above rubies or rare 
 Pearls from the prodigal deep, 
 
 Which men stake their lives on to find, 
 And women their beauty to keep, 
 
 I will treasure the pearls of your mind. 
 
 How long has it taken the earth 
 To crystalize gems in a mine ? 
 
 How long was the sea giving birth 
 To her pearls, washed in bitterest brine ?

 Rest my head a little while ; 
 
 Rest my heart from griefs that fret me 
 In the mercy of thy smile. 
 
 In a twilight pause of feeling, 
 Time to say a moment's grace, 
 
 Put thy hands, whose touch is healing. 
 Put them gently on my face. 
 
 Found too late in Life's wild welter, 
 All I ask, for weal and woe. 
 
 Friend, a moment's friendly shelter, 
 And thy blessing ere I go.

 Full many loves and friendships dear 
 Have blossomed brightly in my path ; 
 And some were like the primrose rathe, 
 
 And withered with the vernal year. 
 
 And some were like the joyous rose, 
 Most prodigal with scent and hue, 
 That glows while yet the sky is blue. 
 
 And falls with every wind that blows — 
 
 Mere guests and annuals of the heart ; 
 But you are that perennial bay, 
 Greenest when greener leaves decay, 
 
 Whom only death shall bid depart.

 WITH A VOLUME OF VERSES. 
 
 To you who dwell withdrawn, above 
 
 The world's tumultuous strife, 
 And, in an atmosphere of love, 
 
 Have triumphed over life ; 
 
 To you whose heart has kept so young 
 
 Beneath the weight of years, 
 I give these passion flowers of song, 
 
 Still wet with undried tears. 
 
 You too have trod that stony path 
 
 Which steeply winds afar. 
 And seen, through nights of storm and wrath, 
 
 The bright and Morning Star ;

 On valleys full of mist,

 As many stars as are aglow 
 
 Deep in the hollows of the night ; 
 
 As many as the flowers that blow 
 Beneath the kindling light ; 
 
 As many as the birds that fly 
 
 Unpiloted across the deep ; 
 As many as the clouds on high, 
 
 And all the drops they weep ; 
 
 As many as the leaves that fall 
 In autumn, on the withering lea, 
 
 When wind to thundering wind doth call, 
 And sea calls unto sea ; 
 
AS MANY STARS. i33 
 
 As many as the multitude 
 
 Of quiet graves, where mutely bide 
 
 The wicked people and the good, 
 Laid softly side by side ; — 
 
 So many thoughts, so many tears, 
 
 Such hosts of prayers, are sent on high, 
 
 Seeking, through all Man's perished years, 
 A love that will not die.

 LOVE'S VISION. 
 
 Transported out of self by Youth's sweet madness, 
 Emulous of love, to Love's empyrean height. 
 Where I beheld you aureoled in light. 
 
 My soul upsprang on wings of angel-gladness. 
 
 Far, far below, the earth and all earth's badness — 
 A speck of dust — slipped darkling into night, 
 As suns of fairer planets flamed in sight. 
 
 Pure orbs or bliss unstained by gloom or sadness. 
 
 Lo, as I soared etherially on high, 
 
 You vanished, from my swimming eyes aloof, 
 Alone, alone, within the empty sky, 
 I reached out giddily, and reeling fell 
 From starriest heaven, to plunge in lowest hell, 
 
 My proud heart broken on Earth's humblest roof.

 A PARABLE, 
 
 Between the sandhills and the sea 
 A narrow strip of silver sand,'. 
 Whereon a little maid doth stand, 
 Who picks up shells continually 
 Between the sandhills and the sea. 
 
 Far as her wondering eyes can reach 
 A Vastness, heaving grey in grey 
 To the frayed edges where the day 
 Furls his red standard on the breach, 
 Between the skyline and the beach. 
 
 The waters of the flowing tide 
 
 Cast up the seapink shells and weed ; 
 She toys with shells, and doth not heed 
 The ocean, which on every side 
 Is closing round her vast and wide. 
 
136 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 It creeps her way as if in play, 
 Pink shells at her pink feet to cast ; 
 But now the wild waves hold her fast, 
 And bear her off and melt away 
 A Vastness heaving gray in gray.

 BETWEEN SLEEP AND WAKING. 
 
 Softly in a dream I heard, 
 
 Ere the day was breaking, 
 Softly call a cuckoo bird 
 
 Between sleep and waking. 
 
 Calling through the rippling rain 
 
 And red orchard blossom ; 
 Calling up old love again, 
 
 Buried in my bosom ; 
 
 Calling till he brought you too 
 
 From some magic rei^ion ; 
 And the whole spring followed you, 
 
 Birds on birds in legion. 
 
138 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 Youth was in your beaming glance, 
 Love a rainbow round you ; 
 
 Blushing trees began to dance, 
 Wreaths of roses crowned you. 
 
 And I called your name, and woke 
 To the cuckoo's calling ; 
 
 And you waned in waning smoke, 
 As the rain was falling. 
 
 Had the cuckoo called " Adieu," 
 Ere the day was breaking? 
 
 All the old wounds bled anew 
 Between sleep and waking.

 REST, 
 
 We are so tired, my heart and I. 
 Of all things here beneath the sky- 
 One only thing would please us best- 
 Endless, unfathomable rest. 
 
 We are so tired ; we ask no more 
 Than just to slip out by Life's door ; 
 And leave behind the noisy rout 
 And everlasting turn about. 
 
 Once it seemed well to run on too 
 With her importunate, fevered crew, 
 And snatch amid the frantic strife 
 Some morsel from the board of life. 
 
I40 BIRDS OF PASSAGE. 
 
 But we are tired. At Life's crude hands 
 We ask no gift she understands ; 
 But kneel to him she hates to crave 
 The absolution of the grave. 
 
141 
 
 MYSTERY OF MYSTERIES, 
 
 Before the abyss of the unanswering grave 
 Each mortal stands at last aloof, alone, 
 With his beloved one turned as deaf as stone, 
 
 However rebel love may storm and rave. 
 
 No will, however strong, avails to save 
 The wrecked identity knit to our own ; 
 We may not hoard one treasured look or tone, 
 
 Dissolved in foam on Death's dissolving wave. 
 
 Is this the End ? This handful of brown earth 
 
 For all releasing elements to take 
 And free for ever from the bonds of birth ? 
 
 Or will true life from Life's disguises break, 
 Called to that vast confederacy of minds 
 Which casts all flesh as chaff to all the winds ?

 and temples, and there is a remarkable wall-painting of it 
 in the beautiful little temple of Der-el-Medineh. After 
 Osiris, Judge of the under world, Thoth plays the chief part 
 in this impressive ceremony. He is the Moon-god, generally 
 represented as an Ibis or Baboon. " The soul first advanced 
 to the foot of the throne, carrying on its outstretched hands 
 the image of its heart or of its eyes, agents and accomplices 
 of its vices and virtues. It humbly ' smelt the earth,' then 
 arose, and with upHfted hands recited its profession of faith. 
 In the middle of the hall its acts were weighed by the 
 assessors. Like all objects belonging to the gods, the 
 balance is magic. Truth squats upon one of the scales ;

 and pronounces the verdict aloud." — " The Dawn of Civiliza-

 travellers on the Nile. The children haunt the shore where 
 boats land, and set up an incessant cry for '* backsheesh," and 
 there are few who can resist the winning smiles with which 
 they sweeten their importunities. Conspicuous among the 
 crowd was a lovely boy of sixteen, who attracted the attention 
 of artists and photographers two or three winters ago. He

 thought that that was the end and aim of all tourists. Finally, 
 he was carried off to the World's Fair with other curiosities 
 of Egypt. When the Beeshareens returned to Assouan he 
 was not amongst them, and rumour says that he got as far 
 as Marseilles, where he utterly vanished. This tribe dress 
 their profuse black hair in quite an extraordinary fashion. 
 It is worn in countless little plaits, with a high, fuzzy bunch 
 in the centre. I have heard it said that they wear it thus in 
 memory of their descent from one of the lost tribes of Israel.

 This unfinished Colossus of red granite was discovered by

 The scene is one of extraordinary desolation. The ash- 
 coloured sand, broken by blue-black ridges, is a chaos of scat- 
 tered stones and boulders which might be part of a landscape 
 in the moon. The statue is believed to be that of Amenhotep 
 III., to whom we owe the two Colossi of the Plain, of which 
 one is the famous " Vocal Memnon." He was also the 
 Egyptian Nimrod, and on one of his lion-hunting expeditions 
 to the South is said to have met a beautiful young maiden, 
 whom he married, though she was neither Egyptian nor of 
 royal race. She was that famous Queen Thi who introduced 
 the worship of the Sun's disk into Egypt.

 ^nt) otijtx pocm0. 
 
 " There Is perhaps no phase of our history more capable of poetic treatment 
 than the sainted lives of the Irish monks who first spread the Christian faith over 
 the western shores of Scotland, and yet it would be difficult to point to a single 
 representative poem having Saint Columba and the devoted band of his disciples 
 for its heroes. An attempt at filling up this gap has recently been made by Miss 
 Blind in a narrative poem devoted to the fate of St. Oran, the friend and disciple 
 of St. Columba. . . . Apart from the sonorous beauty of her lines, there is in her 
 diction a straightforwardness and simplicity, and an entire absence of affectation 
 and false sentiment, which, combined with considerable power of characterization, 
 make her volume a remarkable contribution to English literature." — Times, 
 September 26, 1881. 
 
 "To disturb the tnotif of a legend is alwaj^s a bold, and mostly a rash pro- 
 ceeding. . . . And yet so skilfully is the story handled that the main incidents of 
 the legend do not lose, but gain by this disturbance of the motif, and the character 
 of Oran, which with the old fnot if conld only have presented the single side of the 
 religious enthusiast, becomes a character exhibiting that complexity which modern 
 taste demands. . . . Directness of style and lucidity of narrative are the cha- 
 racteristic excellences of the poem. There are few contemporary poets who could 
 have done so much dramatic business in so few lines. . . . In each of the sonnets 
 there is a thought that is well expressed, and worth expressing." — Athenaufn, 
 July 30, 1881. 
 
 " It is in the domain of character that the poem is distinguished by its highest 
 excellence. There is an Ideal statuesqueness embodied In the person of St. 
 Columba such as is felt to possess a powerful appeal to the Imagination. The 
 poem embraces many passions, of which the most tender and beautiful finds ex- 
 pression In the exquisite creation of the radiant golden-haired girl for whose love 
 St. Oran breaks his vow of chastity. But the really powerful contribution to our 
 knowledge of character which this book contains is fittingly centred in St. Oran 
 himself. A dramatic instinct of high order finds utterance in his struggles between 
 opposing passions. Nor are the metrical excellences of the poem less conspicuous. 
 . . . If one were In need of some single phrase by which to denote the ultimate 
 effect produced by this book, one might say that it seems the most mature of all 
 recent first efforts, even of established rank." — Academy, July 16, 1881. 
 
 " In the choice of a subject for her chief poem she has been singularly fortu- 
 nate. . . . That a story such as this is full of poetical suggestiveness is obvious, 
 and Miss Blind has proved herself equal to the occasion. She has avoided writing 
 anything approaching to a ' tendency poem.' She metes out justice with an equal 
 hand to all her characters. The genuine enthusiasm and religious zeal of the 
 monks are set forth In language as Inspired as is the final protest of St. Oran 
 against their narrow fanaticism ; and one of the best passages in the book is 
 indeed the Sermon In which St. Columba announces the Gospel of love and re- 
 demption to the islanders." — Pall Mall Gazette, August 22, 1881. 
 
 " ' The Prophecy of Saint Oran' is skilfully told and vigorously written. In 
 the description of nature and scenery ; in the delineation of character ; and In the 
 management of singularly difficult pos-Itions, there is visible a firm and practised 
 hand, a bold and unmistakable power. ' The Street Children's Dance ' not 
 unworthily ranks with some of the touching pieces of Hood, Mrs. Barrett 
 Browning, and others." — British Mail, September i, 1881.

 "The only excuse for street music that can reasonably be considered valid is 
 the touching plea for public toleration which is embodied in Miss Mathilde 
 Blind's poem, wherein the spectacle of poor children dancing round an organ is 
 as pathetically moralized and as tender and full of loving pity as M rs. Browning's 
 'Cry of the Children.'" — Daily Telegraph, September i, 1881. 
 
 " The poem is rich in true description of sea and sky anJ mountain, and glows 
 in sympathy with the deeper feelings which stir humanitj'. There has been 
 published no poem of such creative suggestiveness as this for many a day, and we 
 hope and believe that it is the precursor of other work by the same unfaltering 
 hand. This poem is a true work of art, complete and beautiful. 'I'here is in the 
 volume other work which shows a master's touch. . . ." — Manchester Exavihier 
 and T lines, July i, 1882. 
 
 " II y a la bien plus qu'une simple facilite de versification. Le r^cit du poeme 
 d'ouverture est grand et fort, la maniere de raconter est pleine de po^sie et d'effet. 
 Depuis la mort de Mrs. Barrett Browning, nous n'avons point eu de poesie aussi 
 hautement inspiree qui ait jailli d'une source feminine." — Le Livre, Paris,

 THE HEATHER ON FIRE: 
 
 % ^aU of tj^e |^igi)lant) ©Icaranccg. 
 
 " Miss Blind has produced one of the most noticeable and moving poems which 
 recent years have added to our shelves. ... As a singer with a message her 
 attempt is praiseworthy, and her performance is fairly self-consistent. It is 
 eminently homogeneous ; the passion once felt, the inspiration once obeyed, the 
 well-head pours forth its stream in a strong and uniform current, which knows 
 no pause until its impulse ceases. . . . The story is pathetic at once in its sim- 
 plicity and in its terror. . . . We congratulate the author upon her boldness in 
 choosing a subject of our own time, fertile in what is pathetic, and free from any 
 taint of the vulgar and conventional. Poetry ot late years has tended too much 
 towards motives of a merely fanciful and abstruse, sometimes a plainly artificial, 
 character ; and we have had much of lyrical energy or attraction, with little of the 
 real marrow of human life, the flesh and blood of man and woman. Positive 
 subject-matter, the emotion which inheres in actual life, the ver>' smile and the 
 very tear and heart-pang, are, after all, precious to poetry, and we have them 
 here. ' The Heather on Fire ' may possibly prove to be something of a new 
 departure, and one that was certainly not •ixy^^x^wom." —Athetueitm, July 17, 
 1886. 
 
 " Miss Blind has chosen for her new poem one of those terrible Highland 
 clearances which stain the history of Scotch landlordism. Though her tale is a 
 fiction it is too well founded on fact. ... It may be said generally of the poem 
 that the most difScult scenes are those in which Miss Blind succeeds best ; and 
 on the whole we are inclined to think that its greatest and mo^t surprising 
 success is the picture of the poor old soldier Rory driven mad by the burning of 
 his wife. In his frenzy he mixes up his old battles with the French and the 
 descent of the landlord's ejectors upon the village." — Academy, August 7, 1886. 
 
 " In this versified tale of Highland clearances, Mathilde Blind has, with 
 genuine poetic instinct, selected a family the fortunes of which form the burden 
 of her story. . . . Literature and poetry are never seen at their best save in con- 
 tact with actual life. . . . This little book abounds in vivid delineation of cha- 
 racter, and is redolent with the noblest human sympathy." — Newcastle Daily 
 Chronicle, June 3, i386. 
 
 " A subject which has painfully preoccupied public opinion is, in the poem 
 entitled 'The Heather on Fire,' treated with characteristic power by Miss Mathilde

 Blind. Irish evictions have offered so convenient a theme to party strife, that the 
 suffering's of the unhappy Highland crofters have not always met with the com- 
 passion they were so well calculated to inspire. In eloquent and forcible verse. 
 Miss Blind tells the tale of their wrongs, their resistance to the hard fate imposed 
 upon them, and describes the bitter grief with which, 
 
 ' Crowding on the decks with hungry eyes. 
 Straining towards the coast that flies and flies,' 
 
 those among them driven into exile look on the shores to which many bid an 
 eternal farewell. Both as a narrative and descriptive poem ' The Heather on 
 Fire' is equally remarkable." — Morning Post, July 30, 1886. 
 
 "We are happy in being able to extend to the present poem a welcome equally 
 sincere and equally hearty ; for it is a poem that is rich not only in power and 
 beauty but in that ' enthusiasm of humanity ' which stirs and moves us, and of 
 which so much contemporary verse is almost painfully deficient. Miss Blind 
 does not possess her theme ; she is possessed by it, as was Mrs. Browning when 
 she wrote ' Aurora Leigh.' . . . We can best describe the kind of her success by 
 noting the fact that while engaged in the perusal of her book we do not say, 
 ' What a fine poem ! ' but ' What a terrible story ! ' or, more probably still, say 
 nothing at all, but read on and on under the spell of a great horror and an over- 
 powering pity. Poetry of which this can be said needs no other recommendation, 
 and, therefore, we need not unduly lengthen our review of ' The Heather on 
 Fire.'" — Manchester Exatniner and Times, September i, 1886. 
 
 " There are charming pictures of West Highland scenery, in Arran apparently, 
 and of the surroundings and conditions of Highland cottar life." — Scotsman, 
 July 20, 1886. 
 
 '•In 'The Heather on Fire,' she exhibits a clearness and beauty of diction, 
 a rhythmical correctness, a grace and simplicity of style which mark her out 
 as no slavish follower of any poetic ' school,' but an unaffected and truthful 
 expression of her own feelings. • . . Whatever the reader's opinion may be on 
 the grievance which Miss Blind throws into such fierce light, he cannot fail to be 
 pleased with her graceful tale, so gracefully and simply told." — Glasgoiv Herald, 
 July 20, 1886. 
 
 "Miss Mathilde Blind's poem is the tragic epic of the old evictions in the 
 Highlands ot Scotland. It is a strange fact that the general reader knows more 
 about the siege of Troy, the Norman Conquest, and the Wars of the Roses than 
 about such matters in the very history of our own days as the depopulation of the 
 Highlands of Scotland by the landlords. The old story comes to the front just 
 now by reason of the crofter agitation. In the preface to her fine and touching 
 epic, and in the notes at the end. Miss Blind pas.ses in review some of the facts 
 of the eviction of the Glen Sannox people by the Duke of Hamilton in 1832, 
 -where, as she .says, ' the progress of civilization, which has redeemed many a 
 wilderness and gladdened the solitary places of the world, has come with a curse 
 to these Highland glens, and turned green pastures and golden harvest fields once 
 more into a desert.' The ' Heather on Fire ' is a poem in four cantos— or 
 ' Duans ' — comprising about two hundred stanzas.'' — School Board Chronicle, 
 July 10, 1886. 
 
 " It is written in a strain which must of necessity appeal to the sympathies of 
 all grades of society, and at the same time it is eminently poetical, both in thought 
 and rhythm." — Western Antiquary, August, 1886. 
 
 "A book like this forms an admirable corrective to the harsh and cold-blooded 
 theories of such landlords as the Duke of Argyll on the rights of his class." — 
 Cambridge hidependent Press, August, 1886. 
 
 "There is a sonorous beauty, a classic dignity and depth of pathos throughout 
 her four cantos, and a vivid and thrilling description is given of the industrious 
 hamlets, the contented, happy people, and the ruthless manner in which the 
 evictions were effected by the stewards and ground-officers." — Elgin Courant, 
 August, 1886.

 TARANTELLA: 
 
 " The author of this two-vohimed romance is favourably known by other 
 works, and by the appreciative ' Life of George Eliot.' The strange effects of 
 the bite of a tarantula spider, so firmly believed in by the Italian peasantry, and 
 the marvellous power of musical enthusiasm, supply the motive of the story ; 
 and the characters are portrayed with great force, pathos, and a touch of homely 
 humour." — Bookseller., Christmas, 1884. 
 
 "Miss Blind n:ay be congratulated on 'Tarantella,' her first novel. In the 
 ricitiz.sw^ have called it) of the musician, Emanuel Sturm, nearly all the interest 
 of the book is concentrated. The violinist, poor and unknown, finds himself at 
 Capri. Accident brings him, one evening, to a frightened group of women, one 
 of whom has just been bitten by the tarantula, and, according to the popular 
 superstition, he is implored to play, in order to drive the poison out of her. He 
 refuses at first, but afterwards consents, and finding himself almost supernaturally 
 inspired, plays an improvised 'Tarantella' throughout a whole stormy night, finally 
 curing the girl. The tune thus strangely hit on spreads, and ultimately makes him 
 famous, but the love he has conceived for his Antonella brings him almost as much 
 misery as his music brings him fame." — Pall Mall Gazette, February 5, 1885. 
 
 "Admiration of the delicate sketching now in vogue should not blind us to the 
 very opposite kind of charm of which 'Tarantella' is full. Entirely poetical in 
 conception (save that it is not written in metre), ' Tarantella ' is more essentially 
 a poem than many a narrative written in smooth and elegant verse. . . . 'Tarai.- 
 tella' is indeed full of strange originality and scenic effects of uncommon powers. 
 The dance among the ruins is not likely to be soon forgotten by the most un- 
 imaginative of readers, and it is rarely, we think, that in an English novel the 
 psychology of the poetic temperament has been touched by a hand so delicate 
 and at the same time so strong." — Athenaum, January 17, 1885. 
 
 "There is abundant imagination, and the language is generally fresh and 
 vigorous. . . . The author finds many opportunities of introducing scenes from 
 German life, which are evidently written with intimate knowledge. . . This is 
 distinctly a novel to read." — Echo, June 16, i8£6. 
 
 "This powerful and pathetic tale has carried us more completely out of our- 
 selves and along with it than any work of fiction we have read tor many a day. 
 . . . Her (Miss Blind's) word-pictures glow with rich local colours ; she is a 
 complete mistress of the art of dramatic cause and effect. When once fairly under 
 weigh, she never allows the interest to flag for a single moment. Thus it is only 
 when we ha\e laid down the final volume that we have time or inclination to 
 pause and recognize the care and art which have contributed to this triumphant 
 result ; to turn back . . . and dwell on the author's extraordinary knowledge of 
 the human heart — extraordinary alike for its depth and its range. As for the wit 
 and humour with which the book is freely sprinkled, the poetic and artistic spirit 
 which pervades it throughout, they can only be appreciated on a second or a third 
 perusal." — Life, December 25, 1884. 
 
 " 'Tarantella' is extremely clever, and the treatment of the weird subject she 
 has chosen picturesque in the extreme. The local colouring is especially fine and 
 her character studies extremely strong. Thrice welcome in its two-volume form, 
 ' Tarantella' is a book bound to make its mark." — Whitehall Review, December 
 II, 1884. 
 
 "We have verjMngenious resources in music and the bite of the tarantula, which 
 alone music is said to heal. Notwithstanding the sense of im.probability, we follow 
 the strange fortunes of Antonella, Count ess Ogotshka, and her almost magical 
 transformation with interest. Mina, the innocent girl, her friend, is well 
 delineated, and Emanuel Sturm, the wonderful violinist and composer, for whose 
 portrait Paganini has doubtless been available, is original, no less than his friend 
 the painter." — British Quarterly, January, 1885. 
 
6 OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 
 
 "'Tarantella' is a very clever story, with plenty of action and not without 
 tragic incidents. The author has also plenty of humour, and there is at least 
 as much light as shade in the book. Mina is not less delightful than the 
 Countess is objectionable, in spite of her beauty and her daring." — London t igaro, 
 November 20, 1886. 
 
 "We shall not spoil the story by hinting at its denotieine7it. It is a deeply 
 interesting one ; and the characters, three of them at least, are sufficiently 
 original to give the author a high rank as a novelist. . . . The book abounds in 
 striking and interesting pictures of Italian and German life and scenery." — 
 Dzcblin Mail, November, 1886. 
 
 " ' Tarantella' is, indeed, a novel unlike the common — full of power and imagi- 
 nation and originality. ... It would be unjust to deny to this very remarkable 
 book a large share of what the world calls genius." — Alelbojirne Argus, March 14, 
 1885. 
 
 " By her recent works, ' The Prophecy of Saint Oran ' and the ' Life of George 
 Eliot,' Miss Blind brought herself before the public as a writer of considerable 
 ability, and her latest novel will do much to increase her reputation. . . . 'Taran- 
 tella' deserves to be classed among the best novels of the present day." — Scottish 
 jNews, June 15, 1886. 
 
 "There is an inherent charm about 'Tarantella' which will be apparent to the 
 reader from a peru-al of the first chapter. This agreeable quality does not end 
 there, however. The whole of the tale, which is divided into forty-six chapters, 
 is permeated with features of an exceptionally attractive description. Not the 
 least noteworthj'-character of the story is its novelty. Most of the incidents, which 
 are carefully elaborated and follow in logical sequence, are conspicuous for an airy 
 freshness in nature and treatment. Every chapter has its specific purpose, there 
 being a uniform overflow of idea and sentiment ; and each development of the 
 pleasing romance opens to the mental vision of the thoughtful reader incidents of 
 a more or less engrossing description. Continental scenes and customs are de- 
 scribed with freeness and perspicuity, and the varii.-d and eventful adventures of 
 the principal characters, pleasingly typical, it may be mentioned, of the roman- 
 ticism invariably associated with ' love's young dream,' when, as in the present 
 instance, there is a combination of youth and beauty — are recorded with a poetical 
 fervour and gracefulness of diction which are certain to be generally admired." — 
 Western Daily Press, June 2, 1886. 
 
 THE ASCENT OF MAN: 
 
 " Miss Blind traces the ' Ascent of Man' through successive stages, until first 
 love, and then sorrow— which is love under another guise — lead us to the highest 
 conception of human life we can hope to reach. It is a brave, sad, glorious story, 
 told with inimitable skill, and as only a poet who knows man's heart, with its hopes, 
 doubts, fears, aspirations, could possiblv tell it. . . . The other poems in the 
 volume are as excellent in their kind as those which give a title to it. The only 
 difference between them is that one series is rich with human experience, and with 
 the results of knowledge and of high thinking, while the other is all aglow with 
 the fresh delights of the outdoor world. These deliglits find an almost perfect 
 expression. ... A reviewer who is so fortunate as to light on a book like 
 this, lays it down with regret, and fears that he has not said of it all that it 
 deserves should be said. That is my feeling ; and, lest I should have omitted 
 any note of praise that ought to be sounded, I should like to add, by way of 
 suggestion to all lovers of poetry — and I hope they are still many — that here is 
 truly a book that is worth the loving."— Academy, June 15, 1889.

 " The effort which Miss Blind has made is one deserving of high praise. 
 From Chaos to Kosmos she hurries her reader along, breathless and perspiring 
 perhaps, but never anxious to stop. We have known her book to be read on the 
 Underground Railway, and the reader to be so absorbed in its contents as to be 
 carried unawares several stations past his destination. . . . Miss Blind's gift of 
 song is genuine, and her imagination powerful. . . . When all is said and done, 
 ' The Ascent of Man ' remains a remarkable poem, and cannot fail to increase 
 its author's reputation as a brilliant and original writer." — Atheticeum, July 20, 
 1889. 
 
 " There is a fine elevation of tone, and there is a splendid mastery of diction, 
 well sustained from the beginning to the end. . . . The poems are unquestionably 
 very beautiful." — School Board Chronicle, June 8, 1889. 
 
 " Miss Blind has already a place of honour among poets, and this striking 
 volume will make it sure. There is nothing weak or unreal about her verse, and 
 there is much force of thought, sympathy for all, and burning scorn of luxurious 
 vice." — Liverpool IMercury, June 19, 1889. 
 
 " One of the advanced minds of the day is Mathilde Blind. I have at my side 
 her latest book, ' The Ascent of Man.' The poems are all earnest and high pitched 
 in tone — they are human. . . . Every line comes from a heart full of life's 
 unutterable woes, ot" hope's faint, half-believing monitions." — Cheltenham- 
 Examiner, June 19, 1889. 
 
 "To Miss Blind belongs the honour of having been the first to .seriously render 
 Charles Dar a in and Herbert Spencer into verse on anything like a bold and 
 comprehensive scale. 'The Ascent of Man' is a really remarkable poem. Its 
 main conception is even noble, its manner of execution is brilliant and vigorous, 
 and it abounds in passages which prove Miss Blind to possess the true poetic 
 faculty." — ^Vit and Wisdom, August 3, 1889. 
 
 " In her last published volume of poems, ' The Ascent of Man,' Miss Blind has 
 revealed qualities of imagination, enthusiasm, and strength, which place her high 
 indeed among women writers of the day." — Echo, August 8, i88g. 
 
 " Miss Blind has already proved herself to be no ordinary writer of verse, and 
 her new volume will add to her reputation. ' The Ascent of Man ' is a philosophical 
 poem, challenging comparison by its subject with the great work of Lucretius, 
 and inevitably suggesting some of the finest passages of Tennyson." — Manchester 
 Examiner, May 18, 1889. 
 
 "That Miss Blind's volume shows signs of poetic power no careful reader can 
 for a moment doubt." — Literary World, June 14, 1889. 
 
 "Miss ?]lind is an accomplished authoress, and a verse-maker of remarkable 
 skill. There is plenty of .suggestion, as well as a good deal of brilliant, forcible, 
 and easy colouring, in ' The Ascent of Man." — Star, June 17, 1S89. 
 
 "This is a powerful but unequal poem: but the task set to herself by the 
 author was such a mighty one, that, even had her success been far less than it 
 is, she might well be proud. . . . This volume will considerably enhance Miss 
 Blind's reputation as a poetess." — Lady's Pictorial, June 28, 1889. 
 
 " There are some fine passages, elevated in conception and felicitous in expres- 
 sion. . . . The volume, as a whole, is a considerable advance on Miss Blind's 
 previous poetic work, and should give much pleasure to all thoughtful and 
 cultivated readers." — Globe, May 22, 1889. 
 
 "The chief merit of this fine poem is that it treats from the transcendental 
 point of view certain conceptions and theories of life which modern science has 
 shown us under another aspect." — St. James's Gazette, June 16, 1889. 
 
 " * The Ascent of Man ' is a volume of verse which is marked by much grace 
 of diction. In her ' Poems of the Open Air,' Miss Blind is specially succe.--sful. 
 Though a thousand poets have taken us into the gardens and fields ere now, we 
 gladly return to them with her." — British Weekly, July 12, 1889.

 " Her descriptions of the early struggles for existence are powerful and 
 picturesque in a high degree." — Pa/^ Mall Gazette. 
 
 " Has merit of no common order, due, perhaps, as much to the author's wide 
 human sympathy as to her poetical gifts." — Morning Post. 
 
 "The doctrines and tendencies of present-day thought are endowed with 
 fascinating poetic form in Miss Mathilda Blind's 'Ascent of Man.' . . . She 
 encircles grave Science with an aureole, and illuminates his grey technical pages 
 with rainbow tints and emblazoned designs." — Watts' s Literary Guide. 
 
 "This new volume is another testimony to the sterling character of Miss 
 Blind's poetic talent. Technically the verse-workmanship is masterly; the 
 verse is sonorous and well balanced, the diction simple and unaffected, and 
 the style marked by the essential quality of distinction." — Women's Penny 
 Paper. 
 
 " 'The Ascent of Man ' opens with lines which, in their vigour and rhythmic 
 sweep, recall the most resonant passages of Lucretius." — The Scottish Leader. 
 
 DRAMAS IN MINIATURE. 
 
 " In the lyrics, as well as in the longer poems, there are dramas in miniature. . . . 
 For indeed Miss Blind is pre-eminently successful as a writer of lyrics. In her 
 lyrics she is ' simple, sensuous, and passionate :' she catches at times the heart's 
 own rhythm in its troubled, exquisite moments. Her best work gives one the 
 impression of having been lived : it has the impromptu of nature. And for this it 
 should be prized by those who value the simpler, deeper qualities of an art which 
 must needs be so close to nature." — A thenceum. 
 
 " A book of poetry that is welcome and delightful. . . . Miss Blind's 'dramas' 
 exhibit genuine story-telling gifts, in addition to the fancy that was to be expected 
 from the author. When we put the book down we eye it respectfully as the 
 worthy work of an earnest, true-hearted, unaffected student of human nature." — 
 Academy. 
 
 "Original as she is in thought and diction, she has studied in the sound poetic 
 school of Shelley, Keats, Byron, and the great poets of the beginning of the 
 century." — Woman. 
 
 " The 'dramas' and lyrics of which Miss Blind's book is composed are among 
 the most poetical of the gifted authoress's productions. Miss Blind's verse is 
 not an echo, but an original voice of diverse tones. Among Miss Blind's many 
 gifts is a rarely equalled gift of picturing the grandeur of desolation, and this 
 ' Song of the Willi' is an instance of \K.."—Echo. 
 
 " Good healthy poetry, high in aim from the social reformer's side." — 
 Liverpool Mercury. 
 
 " All these ' dramas ' are impressively written, and the descriptive passages 
 are almost always successful." — Speaker. 
 
 "She portrays the passions which all have felt, or can feel, and portrays them 
 at once delicately and forcibly." — Wojuen's Herald. 
 
 " Miss Blind's imaginings have vigour and vividness, and her verse, never 
 feeble, gives always a resonant ring." — Scottish Leader. 
 
 "Powerful verse." — Titties.
