where her fluttering silver pinions Follow the track of the crimson day。
Is rest where cloudlets slowly creep�察 �And sobbing winds forget to
grieve�察�And quiet waters gently heave�察�As if they rocked the ship to sleep�拭�
Ah no� �that southern vapour white Will bring a tempest ere the night�察�And
thunder through the quiet Heaven�察�Lashing the sea in its angry might。
The battle´field lies still and cold�察�While stars that watch in silent light
Gleam here and there on weapons bright�察 �In weary sleepers' slackened
hold�察�Nay�察�though they dream of no alarm�察�One bugle sound will stir that
calm�察�And all the strength of two great nations�察�Eager for battle�察�will rise
and arm。
Pause where the Pilgrim's day is done�察�Where scrip and staff aside are
laid�察�And�察�resting in the silent shade�察�They watch the slowly sinking sun。
Ah no� �that worn and weary band Must journey long before they stand�察�
With bleeding feet�察 �and hearts rejoicing�察 �Kissing the dust of the Holy
Land。
Then find a soul who meets at last A noble prize but hard to gain�察�Or
joy long pleaded for in vain�察 �Now sweeter for a bitter past。 Ah no� �for
Time can rob her yet�察�And even should cruel Time forget�察�Then Death will
come�察�and�察�unrelenting�察�Brand her with sorrowful long regret。
Seek farther�察�farther yet�察�oh Dove� �Beyond the Land�察�beyond the Sea�察�
There shall be rest for thee and me�察�For thee and me and those I love。 I
heard a promise gently fall�察�I heard a far´off Shepherd call The weary and
the broken´hearted�察�Promising rest unto each and all。
It is not marred by outward strife�察 �It is not lost in calm repose�察 �It
heedeth neither joys nor woes�察�Is not disturbed by death or life�察�Through�察�
and beyond them�察�lies our Rest�此�Then cease�察�oh Heart�察�thy longing quest� �
And thou�察�my Dove�察�with silver pinions Flutter again to thy quiet nest� �

VERSE�此 �THE TYRANT AND
THE CAPTIVE
It was midnight when I listened�察�And I heard two Voices speak�察�One
was harsh�察�and stern�察�and cruel�察�And the other soft and weak�此�Yet I saw no
Vision enter�察 �And I heard no steps depart�察 �Of this Tyrant and his
Captive�察 � 。 。 FATE it might be and a HEART。
Thus the stern Voice spake in triumph�此� ;I have shut your life away
From the radiant world of nature�察�And the perfumed light of day。 You�察�who
loved to steep your spirit In the charm of Earth's delight�察�See no glory of
the daytime�察�And no sweetness of the night。;
But the soft Voice answered calmly�此 �Nay�察�for when the March winds
bring Just a whisper to my window�察�I can dream the rest of Spring�察�And to´
day I saw a Swallow Flitting past my prison bars�察�And my cell has just one
corner Whence at night I see the stars。;
But its bitter taunt repeating�察�Cried the harsh Voice�此 �Where are they
´ All the friends of former hours�察�Who forget your name to´day�拭�All the
links of love are shattered�察�Which you thought so strong before�察�And your
very heart is lonely�察�And alone since loved no more。;
But the low Voice spoke still lower�此 � ;Nay�察�I know the golden chain
Of my love is purer�察�stronger�察�For the cruel fire of pain�此�They remember
me no longer�察�But I�察�grieving here alone�察�Bind their souls to me for ever
By the love within their own。;
But the Voice cried�此� ;Once remember You devoted soul and mind To
the welfare of your brethren�察�And the service of your kind。 Now�察 �what
sorrow can you comfort�拭�You�察�who lie in helpless pain�察�With an impotent
compassion Fretting out your life in vain。;
;Nay�察─�and then the gentle answer Rose more loud�察�and full�察�and clear�此�
;For the sake of all my brethren I thank God that I am here� �Poor had been
my Life's best efforts�察�Now I waste no thought or breath ´ For the prayer of
those who suffer Has the strength of Love and Death。;

VERSE�此 �THE CARVER'S
LESSON
Trust me�察 �no mere skill of subtle tracery�察 �No mere practice of a
dexterous hand�察�Will suffice�察�without a hidden spirit�察�That we may�察�or may
not�察�understand。
And those quaint old fragments that are left us Have their power in
this��the Carver brought Earnest care�察 �and reverent patience�察 �only
Worthily to clothe some noble thought。
Shut then in the petals of the flowers�察�Round the stems of all the lilies
twine�察�Hide beneath each bird's or angel's pinion�察�Some wise meaning or
some thought divine。
Place in stony hands that pray for ever Tender words of peace�察 �and
strive to wind Round the leafy scrolls and fretted niches Some true�察�loving
message to your kind。
Some will praise�察�some blame�察�and�察�soon forgetting�察�Come and go�察�nor
even pause to gaze�察�Only now and then a passing stranger Just may loiter
with a word of praise。
But I think�察 �when years have floated onward�察�And the stone is grey�察�
and dim�察�and old�察�And the hand forgotten that has carved it�察�And the heart
that dreamt it still and cold�察�
There may come some weary soul�察�o'erladen With perplexed struggle
in his brain�察�Or�察�it may be�察�fretted with life's turmoil�察�Or made sore with
some perpetual pain。
Then�察 �I think those stony hands will open�察 �And the gentle lilies
overflow�察�With the blessing and the loving token That you hid there many
years ago。
And the tendrils will unroll�察�and teach him How to solve the problem
of his pain�察�And the birds' and angels' wings shake downward On his heart
a sweet and tender rain。
While he marvels at his fancy�察 �reading Meaning in that quaint and
ancient scroll�察�Little guessing that the loving Carver Left a message for his

VERSE�此 �THREE ROSES
Just when the red June Roses blow She gave me one��a year ago。 A
Rose whose crimson breath revealed The secret that its heart concealed�察�
And whose half shy�察�half tender grace Blushed back upon the giver's face。
A year agoa year ago ´ To hope was not to know。
Just when the red June Roses blow I plucked her one��a month ago�此�
Its half´blown crimson to eclipse�察�I laid it on her smiling lips�察�The balmy
fragrance of the south Drew sweetness from her sweeter mouth。 Swiftly do
golden hours creep�察 � To hold is not to keep。
The red June Roses now are past�察�This very day I broke the last ´ And
now its perfumed breath is hid�察�With her�察�beneath a coffin´lid�察�There will
its petals fall apart�察�And wither on her icy heart�此� At three red Roses' cost
My world was gained and lost。

VERSE�此 �MY PICTURE
GALLERY
I。
You write and think of me�察 �my friend�察 �with pity�察 �While you are
basking in the light of Rome�察�Shut up within the heart of this great city�察�
Too busy and too poor to leave my home。
II。
You think my life debarred all rest or pleasure�察�Chained all day to my
ledger and my pen�察�Too sickly even to use my little leisure To bear me
from the strife and din of men。
III。
Well�察�it is true�察�yet�察�now the days are longer�察�At sunset I can lay my
writing down�察�And slowly crawl ��summer has made me stronger�� Just to
the nearest outskirt of the town。
IV。
There a wide Common�察 �blackened though and dreary With factory
smoke�察�spreads outward to the West�察�I lie down on the parched´up grass�察�if
weary�察�Or lean against a broken wall to rest。
V。
So might a King�察�turning to Art's rich treasure�察�At evening�察�when the
cares of state were done�察�Enter his royal gallery�察�drinking pleasure Slowly
from each great picture�察�one by one。

VI。
Towards the West I turn my weary spirit�察 �And watch my pictures�此�
one each night is mine。 Earth and my soul�察 �sick of day's toil�察 �inherit A
portion of that luminous peace divine。
VII。
There I have seen a sunset's crimson glory�察�Burn as if earth were one
great Altar's blaze�察 �Or�察 �like the closing of a piteous story�察 �Light up the
misty world with dying rays。
VIII。
There I have seen the Clouds�察�in pomp and splendour�察�Their gold and
purple banners all unfurl�察�There I have watched colours�察 �more faint and
tender Than pure and delicate tints upon a pearl。
