No longer standard…like this hue
Above the broad road flies;
Nor does the narrow street the blue
Wear; slender pennon…wise。

But when the gold and silver lamps
Colour the London dew;
And; misted by the winter damps;
The shops shine bright anew …
Blue comes to earth; it walks the street;
It dyes the wide air through;
A mimic sky about their feet;
The throng go crowned with blue。



CHIMES



Brief; on a flying night;
From the shaken tower;
A flock of bells take flight;
And go with the hour。

Like birds from the cote to the gales;
AbruptO hark!
A fleet of bells set sails;
And go to the dark。

Sudden the cold airs swing。
Alone; aloud;
A verse of bells takes wing
And flies with the cloud。



UNTO US A SON IS GIVEN



Given; not lent;
And not withdrawnonce sent …
This Infant of mankind; this One;
Is still the little welcome Son。

New every year;
New…born and newly dear;
He comes with tidings and a song;
The ages long; the ages long。

Even as the cold
Keen winter grows not old;
As childhood is so fresh; foreseen;
And spring in the familiar green;

Sudden as sweet
Come the expected feet。
All joy is young; and new all art;
And He; too; Whom we have by heart。



A DEAD HARVEST 'IN KENSINGTON GARDENS'



Along the graceless grass of town
They rake the rows of red and brown;
Dead leaves; unlike the rows of hay;
Delicate; neither gold nor grey;
Raked long ago and far away。

A narrow silence in the park;
Between the lights a narrow dark。
One street rolls on the north; and one;
Muffled; upon the south doth run。
Amid the mist the work is done。

A futile crop; for it the fire
Smoulders; and; for a stack; a pyre。
So go the town's lives on the breeze;
Even as the sheddings of the trees;
Bosom nor barn is filled with these。



THE TWO POETS



Whose is the speech
That moves the voices of this lonely beech?
Out of the long West did this wild wind come …
Oh strong and silent!  And the tree was dumb;
Ready and dumb; until
The dumb gale struck it on the darkened hill。

Two memories;
Two powers; two promises; two silences
Closed in this cry; closed in these thousand leaves
Articulate。  This sudden hour retrieves
The purpose of the past;
Separate; apartembraced; embraced at last。

〃Whose is the word?
Is it I that spake?  Is it thou?  Is it I that heard?〃
〃Thine earth was solitary; yet I found thee!〃
〃Thy sky was pathless; but I caught; I bound thee;
Thou visitant divine。〃
〃O thou my Voice; the word was thine。〃
〃Was thine。〃



A POET'S WIFE



I saw a tract of ocean locked in…land
Within a field's embrace …
The very sea!  Afar it fled the strand
And gave the seasons chase;
And met the night alone; the tempest spanned;
Saw sunrise face to face。

O Poet; more than ocean; lonelier!
In inaccessible rest
And storm remote; thou; sea of thoughts; dost stir;
Scattered through east to west; …
Now; while thou closest with the kiss of her
Who locks thee to her breast。



VENERATION OF IMAGES



Thou man; first…comer; whose wide arms entreat;
Gather; clasp; welcome; bind;
Lack; or remember! whose warm pulses beat
With love of thine own kind;

Unlifted for a blessing on yon sea;
Unshrined on this high…way;
O flesh; O grief; thou too shalt have our knee;
Thou rood of every day!



AT NIGHT



Home; home from the horizon far and clear;
Hither the soft wings sweep;
Flocks of the memories of the day draw near
The dovecote doors of sleep。

O which are they that come through sweetest light
Of all these homing birds?
Which with the straightest and the swiftest flight?
Your words to me; your words!
