                    VERSE�此                   �TOO LATE 



     Hush� �speak low�察�tread softly�察�Draw the sheet aside�察 � Yes�察�she does 

look peaceful�察�With that smile she died。 

     Yet   stern   want   and   sorrow   Even   now   you   trace   On   the   wan�察  �worn 

features Of the still white face。 

     Restless�察�helpless�察�hopeless�察�Was her bitter part�察 � Nowhow still the 

Violets Lie upon her Heart� �

     She    who    toiled  and   laboured    For   her  daily   bread�察  �See  the   velvet 

hangings Of this stately bed。 

     Yes�察 �they  did   forgive   her�察  �Brought   her home   at   last�察  �Strove to   cover 

over Their relentless past。 

     Ah�察�they would have given Wealth�察�and home�察�and pride�察�To see her 

just look happy Once before she died� �

     They strove hard to please her�察�But�察�when death is near All you know 

is deadened�察�Hope�察�and joy�察�and fear。 

     And   besides�察  �one   sorrow   Deeper   stillone   pain   Was   beyond   them�此�

healing Came to´dayin vain� �

     If   she   had   but   lingered   Just   a   few   hours   more�察  �Or   had   this   letter 

reached her Just one day before� �

     I can almost pity Even him to´day�察�Though he let this anguish Eat her 

heart away。 

     Yet she never blamed him�此� One day you shall know How this sorrow 

happened�察�It was long ago。 

     I have read the letter�此�Many a weary year�察�For one word she hungered ´ 

There are thousands here。 

     If she could but hear it�察�Could but understand�察�SeeI put the letter In 

her cold white hand。 

     Even these words�察�so longed for�察�Do not stir her rest�察�WellI should 

not murmur�察�For God judges best。 

     She   needs   no   more   pity�察   �   But   I   mourn   his   fate�察  �When   he   hears   his 

letter Came a day too late。

             VERSE�此                  �THE REQUITAL 



    Loud     roared   the   Tempest�察  �Fast  fell  the  sleet�察  �A   little  Child   Angel 

Passed down the street�察�With trailing pinions�察�And weary feet。 

    The moon was hidden�察�No stars were bright�察�So she could not shelter 

In heaven that night�察�For the Angels' ladders Are rays of light。 

     She beat her wings At each window pane�察�And pleaded for shelter�察�But 

all in vain�此   � ;Listen�察─�they said�察 �To the pelting rain� ─�

     She sobbed�察�as the laughter And mirth grew higher�察 �Give me rest and 

shelter Beside your fire�察�And I will give you Your heart's desire。; 

    The   dreamer   sat   watching   His   embers   gleam�察  �While   his   heart   was 

floating Down hope's bright stream�察 � 。 。 So he wove her wailing Into his 

dream。 

    The worker toiled on�察�For his time was brief�察�The mourner was nursing 

Her own pale grief�此�They heard not the promise That brought relief。 

    But fiercer the Tempest Rose than before�察�When the Angel paused At a 

humble door�察�And asked for shelter And help once more。 

    A  weary   woman�察  �Pale�察  �worn�察  �and   thin�察  �With   the   brand   upon   her   Of 

want and sin�察�Heard the Child Angel And took her in。 

    Took her in gently�察�And did her best To dry her pinions�察�And made her 

rest With tender pity Upon her breast。 

    When the eastern morning Grew bright and red�察�Up the first sunbeam 

The Angel fled�察�Having kissed the woman And left herdead。

               VERSE�此                �RETURNED 

 ;MISSING; ��FIVE YEARS AFTER�� 



    Yes�察�I was sad and anxious�察�But now�察�dear�察�I am gay�察�I know that it is 

wisest To put all hope away�此� Thank God that I have done so And can be 

calm to´day。 

    For hope deferredyou know it�察�Once made my heart so sick�此�Now�察�I 

expect no longer�察�It is but the old trick Of hope�察�that makes me tremble�察�

And makes my heart beat quick。 

    All day I sit here calmly�察�Not as I did before�察�Watching for one whose 

footstep Comes never�察�never more 。 。 。 Hush� �was that someone passing�察�

Who paused beside the door�拭�

    For years I hung on chances�察�Longing for just one word�察�At last I feel 

it�此� silence Will never more be stirred 。 。 。 Tell me once more that rumour�察�

You fancied you had heard。 

    Life has more things to dwell on Than just one useless pain�察�Useless 

and past for ever�察�But noble things remain�察�And wait us all�此      � 。 。 you too�察�

dear�察�Do you think hope quite vain�拭�

    All others have forgotten�察�'Tis right I should forget�察�Nor live on a keen 

longing Which shadows forth regret�此       � 。 。 Are not the letters coming�拭�The 

sun is almost set。 

    Now that my restless legion Of hopes and fears is fled�察�Reading is joy 

and comfort 。 。 。 。 。 。This very day I read�察�Oh�察�such a strange returning Of 

one whom all thought dead� �

    Not that _I_ dream or fancy�察�You know all that is past�察�Earth has no 

hope to give me�察�And yet�此� Time flies so fast That all but the impossible 

Might be brought back at last。

    In the wood where shadows are deepest From the branches overhead�察�

Where the wild wood´strawberries cluster And the softest moss is spread�察�I 

met to´day with a fairy�察�And I followed her where she led。 

    Some magical words she uttered�察�I alone could understand�察�For the sky 

grew bluer and brighter�察�While there rose on either hand The cloudy walls 

of a palace That was built in Fairy´land。 

    And I stood in a strange enchantment�察�I had known it all before�此�In my 

heart of hearts was the magic Of days that will come no more�察�The manic 

of joy departed�察�That Time can never restore。 

    That never�察�ah�察�never�察�never�察�Never again can be�此� Shall I tell you what 

powerful fairy Built up this palace for me�拭�It was only a little white Violet 

I found at the root of a tree。

    God's world is bathed in beauty�察�God's world is steeped in light�察�It is 

the self´same glory That makes the day so bright�察�Which thrills the earth 

with music�察�Or hangs the stars in night。 

    Hid in earth's mines of silver�察�Floating on clouds above�察 � Ringing in 

Autumn's   tempest�察  �Murmured   by   every   dove�察  �One   thought   fills      God's 

creation ´ His own great name of Love� �

    In God's world Strength is lovely�察�And so is Beauty strong�察�And Light´ 

´God's glorious shadow ´ To both great gifts belong�察�And they all melt into 

sweetness�察�And fill the earth with Song。 

    Above God's world bends Heaven�察�With day's kiss pure and bright�察�Or 

folds her still more fondly In the tender shade of night�察�And she casts back 

Heaven's sweetness�察�In fragrant love and light。 

    God's world has one great echo�察�Whether calm blue mists are curled�察�

Or lingering dew´drops quiver�察�Or red storms are unfurled�察�The same deep 

love is throbbing Through the great heart of God's world。 

    Man's world is black and blighted�察�Steeped through with self and sin�察�

And   should   his   feeble   purpose   Some   feeble   good   begin�察  �The   work   is 

marred and tainted By Leprosy within。 

    Man's   world is bleak   and   bitter�察�Wherever   he   has trod   He   spoils the 

tender beauty That blossoms on the sod�察�And blasts the loving Heaven Of 

the great�察�good world of God。 

    There  Strength   on   coward   weakness   In   cruel   might   will   roll�察  �Beauty 

and Joy are cankers That eat away the soul�察�And LoveOh God�察�avenge it 

´ The plague´spot of the whole。 

    Man's world is Pain and Terror�察�He found it pure and fair�察�And wove in 

nets of sorrow The golden summer air。 Black�察�hideous�察�cold�察�and dreary�察�

Man's curse�察�not God's�察�is there。 

    And yet God's world is speaking�此�Man will not hear it call�察�But listens 

where the echoes Of his own discords fall�察�Then clamours back to Heaven 

That God has done it all。 

    Oh God�察�man's heart is darkened�察�He will not understand� �Show him

     I was with my lady when she died�此�I it was who guided her weak hand

the words they could not understand。 

     And I drew them round my knee that night�察�Hushed their childish glee�察�

would not forget her dying fears Lest the thought of her should fade away。

still�察�cold face�察�That her children's hearts�察�at any cost�察�Should be with the 

mother they had lost�察�When a stranger came to take her place。 

     And I knew so much� �for I had lived With my lady since her childhood�此�
