worlds to lose��or win and mould A radiant iridescence swiftly caught 

Of ever´changing glory�察�fancy´fraught。

dreamlit   face�察  �Eyes   that   behold   afar   the   turrets   high   Of   Ilium�察  �and   the

chieftains die。

    FOUR graves there are upon the wooded crest�察�Each one a shrine to 

pilgrims ever dear。 Uncovered�察�mute�察�are those who tarry here。 Romance's 

dreaming   master    lies  at  rest   Beneath  the  cedars。 Near   is  one  whose 

breast   Held Mother   Nature's   lore。 Beyond�察�the seer And   sage。      There�察�

one who saw her duty clear�察�Her name by little men and women blessed。 

    Four friends who walked in Concord's pleasant ways Long years ago。 

They dwelt and worked apart�察�But now the world has crowned them with 

its bays�察�And holds them close forever to its heart。 O�察�sacred hill�       �There 

Genius�察�guarding stays�察�And from its slopes shall never Love depart� �

             THE SWORD OF ARTHUR 



    A CASTLE stands in Yorkshire ��Oh�察�the hill is fair and green�。� And far 

beneath it lies a cave No living man has seen。 

    It is the cave enchanted ��Oh�察�seek it ere ye die�。� And there King Arthur 

and his knights In dreamless slumber lie。 

    One time a peasant found it ��Oh�察�the years have hurried well�。� It was 

the day of fate for him�察�And this is what befell�此�

    Upon a couch of   crystal ��Oh�察�heart be pure and   strong�。� He saw  the 

King�察�and�察�close beside�察�The armored knights athrong。 

    And   all   of   them   were   sleeping   ��Praise   God�察  �who   sendeth   rest�。�   The 

sleep that comes when strife is done And ended every quest。 

    Beside   the   good   King Arthur   ��How   high   is   your   desire�殖�   His   sword 

within its scabbard lay�察�The sword with blade of fire。 

    Now had the peasant known it ��Oh�察�if we all could know�。� 

    He should have drawn that wondrous blade Before he turned to go。 

    If but his hand had touched it ��The sword still lieth there�。� He would 

have felt in every vein A lofty purpose thrill。 If but his hand had drawn it 

��The    sword    still  lieth  there�。�  A  kingly  way    he  would    have   walked�察�

Wherever he might fare。 But no�察�he fled affrighted ��Oh�察�pitiful the cost�。� 

And then he knew�察�but lo� �the way Into the cave was lost。 

    He searched forever after ��All this was long ago�。� But nevermore that 

crystal cave His eager eyes could know。 

    Pray God ye have the vision ��Oh�察�search in every land�。� To seize the 

sword that Arthur bore When it lies at your hand。

                    THE DIVINE FOREST 



     IF   there   be  leaves    on  the   forest  floor�察  �Dead    leaves   there   are  and 

nothing   more�察  �If   trunks   of   trees   seem   sentinels�察  �For   what   their   vigil   no 

man tells。 And if you clasp these guardian trees Nothing there is to hurt or 

please�察  �Only   the   dead   roof   of   the   forest   drops   Gently   down   and   never 

stops And   roofs   you   in   and   roofs   you   under�察 �Mute   and   away  from  life's 

dim thunder�察�And if there come eternal spring It is but more disheartening�察�

For   Autumn      takes   the   Spring    and   Summer´   Autumn        that   is  the  latest 

comer´   With   the   Springtime's   misty   wonder And   the   Summer's   yield   of 

gold�察  �Weighs   you   down   and   weighs   you   under   To   where   the   blackened 

leaves are mold。 。 。 The lone gift of the forest is ever new�此�Eternity where 

dwell not you。 The forest�察�accepting�察�heeds you not�察�Accepting all´you are 

forgot。   If   there   be   leaves   on   the   forest   floor�察  �Dead   leaves   there   are   and 

nothing more。 

     Once the forest spoke but now is silent�察�Save in the skyward branches 

whence   no   sound   Seems   to   touch   ear   of   any   man   below   Or   else   no 

longer   the   man   knows   how   to   hear。   Such   men   build   roofs   to   keep   the 

forest out�察�Yet all their roofs are built of the forest's self�察�

     Only they make the dead tree a shield against the living。 Such lapsing 

of   the   forest   then   they   use   And   turn   it   into   countless   lowly   dwellings�察�

Sometimes they even cut the living down To leaven the dead roofs they 

would erect。 Though some of these low roofs are lovely there Beneath the 

guardianship of forest trees�察�And some   yearn upward as with thought of 

wings�察�Yet the eyes of the dwellers therein are dark To the upper forest and 

they Fearful of the windy freedom of its top。 They have forgotten That the 

greatest roof is but a banner And that it was a tree that made a Cross。
