And I�察�forever telling to my mind�察�Glory it was�察�and gladness�察�to give birth
To humankind� �Yes�察�I�察�that ever thought it not amiss To give the breath to
men�察�For men to slay again�此�Lording it over anguish but to give My life
that men might live For this。 You will be laughing now�察 �remembering I
called you once Dead World�察�and barren thing�察�
Yes�察�so we named you then�察�You�察�far more wise Than to give life to
men。;
Over the field�察�that there Gave back the skies A shattered upward stare
〃From blank white eyes�察�Striving awhile�察�through many a bleeding dune
Of throbbing clay�察 �but dumb and quiet soon�察 �She looked�察 �and went her
way The Harvest´Moon。

THE ROSE
ONE deep red rose I dropped into his grave�察�So small a thing to give
so great a friend� �Yet well he knew it was my heart I gave And must fare
on without it to the end�察�

A VALENTINE�察 �UNSENT STAY�察 �flaming rose�察 �'twould grieve her
heart To see you fade away�察�Unloved�察�unwelcome and apart 〃From every
joy to´day。
Once long ago your tale was new�察�Days distant yet so dear�察�Why say
her lover still is true�察�When that is all her fear�拭�
Why thus recall another's pain�察�Her tender heart to fret�拭�Best let her
think he loves again�察�Who never can forget� �

SHIPBUILDERS
THE German people reared them An idol made of wood�察 �And
Hindenburg before them Lifelike and stupid stood。
To clothe him all in iron And thus his soul express�察 �With nails and
spikes they covered His wooden nakedness。
And when they�察�thus had clothed him All in a suit of mail�察�Still came
they�察 �wild´eyed�察 �looking For space to drive a nail。 Whenever Teuton
airmen Slay boys and girls at play�察�Or U´boats�察�drowning babies�察�Create a
holiday。
Then�察�gathering round their statue�察�A happy German throng Drive nails
into the idol To make him still more strong。
Avenge the babes�察�shipbuilders�察�That on the seas have died�察�Avenge the
little children Murdered for Wilhelm's pride。 Come�察�gather at the shipyards�察�
And let your hammers ring�察 �For more than ships and cargoes Waits on
your fashioning。
Come�察�gather at the shipyards�察�With every bolt you drive Bethink you
`tis the Kaiser Whose brutish head you rive。
Come�察�gather at the shipyards�察�And swing with might and main�察 �Tis
Tirpitz and the Crown Prince That you to´day have slain。
Come�察 �gather at the shipyards�察 �And heat the metal hot�察 �For it is
Bethmann Hollweg You're boiling in the pot。
Come�察 �gather at the shipyards�察�And when the day is done�察 �You've
spent it in driving spikes�察�In Hindernburg the Hun。
Come�察�gather at the shipyards�察�And toil with healthy hate�察�For only you
can save the world�察�The Hun is at the gate。

UNFADING PICTURES
�─�The air from the sea came blowing in again�察�mixed with the perfume
of the flowers。 。 。 。 The old´fashioned furniture brightly rubbed and pol´
ished�察�my aunt's inviolable chair and table by the round green fan in the
bow´window�察 �the drugget´ covered carpet�察 �the cat�察 �the kettle´holder�察 �the
two canaries�察�the old china 。。。 and�察�wonderfully out of keeping with the rest�察�
my dusty self upon the sofa�察�taking note of everything。;
´;David Copperfield�察─�Chapter XIII。��
HOW many are the scenes he limned�察�With artist strokes�察�clear´cut and
free´ Our Dickens�察�time shall not efface Their charm�察�and they will ever
grace The halls of memory。
Oft and again we turn to them�察�To contemplate in pleased review�察�And
like some picture on the screen Comes now to mind a favorite scene His
master´pencil drew�此�
Upon a sofa�察�stretched in sleep�察�I see a small lad�察�spent and worn�察�And
by the window�察 �stern and grim�察�A silent figure watching him�察 �So dusty�察�
ragged�察�torn。
Ah�察�now she rises from behind The round green fan beside her chair�察�
;Poor fellow� ─ �croons´and pity lends Her voice new softness´and she
bends And brushes back his hair。
Then in his sleep he softly stirs。 Was that a dream�察 �these murmured
words�拭�He wakes� �There by the casement sat Miss Trotwood still�察�close by�察�
her cat And her canary birds。
The peaceful calm of that quaint room�察 �Its marks of comfort
everywhere Old china and mahogany And blowing in�察�fresh from the sea�察�
The perfume´laden air。
Poor little pilgrim so bereft�察�So weary at his journey's end� �What joy
must then have filled his soul To reach at last such happy goal´ To findoh�察�
such a friend� � 。 。
And then night came�察�and from his bed He saw the sea�察�moonlit and
bright�察�And dreamed there came�察 �to bless her son�察 �His mother�察 �with her
little one�察�Adown that path of light。
Ah�察�greater blessing I'd not crave�察�When my life's pilgrimage is o'er�察�

WITH WAVES AND WINGS
WAVES and Wings and Growing Things� �As through the gladden sight
ye flow And flit and glow�察�Ye win me so In soul to go�察�I too am waves�察�I
too am wings�察�And kindred motion in me springs。
With thee I pass�察 �glad growing grass� � I climb the air with lissome
mien�察�Unsheathing keen The vivid sheen Of springing green�察�I thrill the
crude�察�exalt the crass Fine´flex'd and fluent from Earth's mass。
And impulse craves with thee�察�Sea Waves� � To make all mutable the
floor Of Earth's firm shore�察 �With flashing pour Whose brimming o'er
Impassion'd motion loves and laves And livens sombre slumbering caves。
Then soaring where the wild birds fare�察 �My song would sweep the
windy lyre Of Heaven's choir�察 �Pulsing desire For starry fire�察 �Abashing
chilling vagues of air With throbbing of warm breasts that dare� �

BLUEBERRIES
UPON the hills of Garlingtown Beneath the summer sky�察 �In many
pleasant pastures On sunny slopes and high�察 �Their skins abloom with
dusty blue�察�Asleep�察�the berries lie。
And all the lads of Garlingtown�察�And all the lasses too�察�Still climb the
tranquil hillsides�察 �A merry�察 �barefoot crew�察 �Still homeward plod with
unfilled pails And mouths of berry blue。
And all the birds of Garlingtown�察 �When flocking back to nest�察�
Remember well the patches Where berries are the best�察 �They pick the
ripest ones at dawn And leave the lads the rest。
Upon the hills of Garlingtown When berry´time was o'er�察�I looked into
the sunset�察�And saw an open door�察�And from the hills of Garlingtown I
went�察�and came no more。

NOCTURNE
NIGHT of infinite power and infinite silence and space�察 �From you
may mortals infer�察�if ever�察�the scope divine� �The jealous sun conceals all
but his arrogant face�察�You bid the Milky Way and a million suns to shine。
Each star to numberless planets gives light and motion and heat�察�But
