constant�察�fearless ones。 Warders of mountain secrets�察�there they wait�察�Each
with his cloak about him�察 �breathless�察 �calm。 And yet expectant�察 �as who
knows the dawn�察�
And all night thrills with memory and desire�察�Searching in what has
been for what shall be�此�
The marvel of the ne'er familiar day�察�Sacred investiture of life renewed�察�
The chrism of dew�察 �the coronal of flame。 Low in the valley lies the
conquered rout Of man's poor�察�trivial turmoil�察�lost and drowned Under the
mist�察�in gleaming rivers rolled�察�Where oozy marsh contends with frothing
main。 And rounding all�察 �springs one full�察 �ambient arch�察 �One great good
limpid worldso still�察�so still� �For no sound echoes from its crystal curve
Save four clear notes�察�the song of that lone bird Who�察�brave but trembling�察�
tries his morning hymn�察 �And has no heart to finish�察 �for the awe And
wonder of this pearling globe of dawn。

beauty's face� �Weaving whereof the hills are lambent clad� �Mighty libation
to the Unknown God� �Cup whereat pine´trees slake their giant thirst And
little leaves drink sweet delirium� �Being and breath and potion� �living soul
And all´informing heart of all that lives� �How can we magnify thine awful
name Save by its chanting�此 �Light� �and Light� �and Light� �An exhalation
from far sky retreats�察�It grows in silence�察�as 'twere self´create�察�Suffusing
all the dusky web of night。 But one lone corner it invades not yet�察�Where
low above a black and rimy crag Hangs the old moon�察�thin as a battered
shield�察�The holy�察�useless shield of long´past wars�察�Dinted and frosty�察�on the
crystal dark。 But lo� �the east��let none forget the east�察�Pathway ordained
of old where He should tread。 Through some sweet magic common in the
skies�察�The rosy banners are with saffron tinct�察�The saffron grows to gold�察�
the gold is fire�察 �And led by silence more majestical Than clash of
conquering arms�察 �He comes� �He comes� �He holds His spear benignant�察�
sceptrewise�察�And strikes out flame from the adoring hills。

BURNT ARE THE PETALS OF
LIFE
BURNT are the petals of life as a rose fallen and crumbled to dust。
Blackened the heart of the past is�察�ashes that must Forever be sifted�察�
more precious than sunbeams that open the budding to´morrow。 Once was
a passion completed�察�too perfect�察 �the Gods have not broken to borrow´
Blackened the heart of the past is�察 �ashes that must Forever be sifted。 O�察�
loving to´morrow The rose of the past is�察�Life´Eternity's dust。

FOUR FOUNTAINS AFTER
RESPIGHI
FRESH mists of Roman dawn�察�For water search the cattle�察�Faintlv on
damp air sounds the shepherd's horn Above fountain Giulia's prattle。
Triton�察 �joyous and loud Of Naiads summons troops�察 �A frenziedly
leaping and mingling crowd�察�Dancing�察�pursuing groups。
At high noon the trumpets peal�察�Neptune's chariot passes by�察�Trains of
sirens�察�tritons�察�Trevi's jets heat Then trumpets' echoes sigh。
Tolling bell and sunset�察�Twittering birds and calm�察�Medici's fountain�察�
shimmering net�察�Into the night brings balm。

TROPICS
THE cretonne in your willow chair Shows through a zone of rosy air�察�
A tree of parrots�察�agate´eyed�察�With blue´green crests and plumes of pride
And beaks most formidably curved。 I hear the river�察�silver´nerved�察�To their
shrill protests make reply�察�And the palm forest stir and sigh。
Curious�察�the spell that colors cast�察�Binding the fancy coweb´fast�察�And
you would smile if you could know I like your cretonne parrots so� �But I
have seen them sail toward night Superbly homeward�察�the last light Lifting
them like a purple sea Scorned and made use of arrogantly�察�And I have
heard them cry aloud 〃From out a tall palm's emerald cloud�察 �And I
brought home a brilliant feather�察�Lost like a flake of sunset weather。
Here in the north the sea is white And mother´of´pearl in morning light�察�
Quite lovely�察�but there is a glare That daunts me。 Now the willow chair
Suggests a more perplexing sea�察 �Till my heart aches with memory And
parrots dye the air around�察 �And I forget the pallid Sound。 GRACE

TO HILDA OF HER ROSES
ENOUGH has been said about roses To fill thirty thick volumes�察�There
are as many songs about roses As there are roses in the world That
includes Mexico 。 。 。 the Azores 。。。 Oregon 。。。
It is a pity your roses Are too late for Omar 。 。 。 It is a pity Keats has
gone 。 。 。
Yet there must be something left to say Of flowers like these� �
Adventurers�察 �They pushed their way Through dewy tunnels of the June
night Now they confer。。。。。 A little tremulous。。。。。 Dazzled by the yellow sea´
beach of morning
If Herrick would tiptoe back 。 。 。 If Blake were to look this way

RED ROOSTER
RED ROOSTER in your gray coop�察 �O stately creature with tail´
feathers red and blue�察�Yellow and black�察�You have a comb gay as a parade
On your head�此�You have pearl trinkets On your feet�此 �The short feathers
smooth along your back Are the dark color of wet rocks�察�Or the rippled
green of ships When I look at their sides through water。 I don't know how
you happened to be made So proud�察�so foolish�察�Wearing your coat of many
colors�察�Shouting all day long your crooked words�察�Loud 。 。 。 sharp 。 。 。 not
beautiful� �

VELVETS ��BY A BED OF
PANSIES��
THIS pansy has a thinking face Like the yellow moon。 This one has a
face with white blots�察�I call him the clown。 Here goes one down the grass
With a pretty look of plumpness�察�She is a little girl going to school With
her hands in the pockets of her pinafore。 Her name is Sue。 I like this one�察�
in a bonnet�察�Waiting�察�Her eyes are so deep� �But these on the other side�察�
These that wear purple and blue�察�They are the Velvets�察�The king with his
cloak�察�The queen with her gown�察�The prince with his feather。 These are
dark and quiet And stay alone。 I know you�察�Velvets�察�Color of Dark�察�Like
the pine´tree on the hill When stars shine� �

HE MOODS
THE Moods have laid their hands across my hair�此 �The Moods have
drawn their fingers through my heart�察�My hair shall never more lie smooth
and bright�察 �But stir like tide´worn sea´weed�察 �and my heart Shall never
more be glad of small sweet things�察� A wild rose�察�or a crescent moon�察�a
book Of little verses�察�or a dancing child。 My heart turns crying from the
rose and book�察 �My heart turns crying from the thin bright moon�察 �And
weeps with useless sorrow for the child。 The Moods have loosed a wind to
vex my hair�察�And made my heart too wise�察�that was a child。
Now I shall blow like smitten candle´flame�此 �I shall desire all things
that may not be�此�The years�察�the stars�察�the souls of ancient men�察�All tears
that must�察�and smiles that may not be�察�Yes�察�glimmering lights across a
windy ford�察�And vagrant voices on a darkened plain�察�And holy things�察�and
outcast things�察�and things�察�Far too remote�察�frail´bodied to be plain。
My pity and my joy are grown alike。 I cannot sweep the strangeness
from my heart。 The Moods have laid swift hands across my hair�此 �The
Moods have drawn swift fingers through my heart。 FANNIE STEARNS

HILL´FANTASY
SITTETH by the red cairn a brown One�察�a hoofed One�察�High upon the
mountain�察 �where the grasses fail。 Where the ash´trees flourish far their
blazing Bunches to the sun�察�A brown One�察�a hoofed One�察�pipes against the
