                                 PROEM 



          ;SO LET THEM PASS�察�THESE SONGS OF 



                                   MINE; 



    So    let  them   pass�察 �these  songs  of  mine�察 �Into  oblivion�察 �nor  repine�察�

Abandoned   ruins     of   large  schemes�察  �Dimmed   lights   adrift  from   nobler 

dreams�察�

    Weak wings I sped on quests divine�察�So let them pass�察�these songs of 

mine。 They soar�察�or sink ephemeral I care not greatly which befall� �

    For if no song I e'er had wrought�察�Still have I loved and laughed and 

fought�察�So let them pass�察�these songs of mine�察�I sting too hot with life to 

whine� �

    Still shall I struggle�察�fail�察�aspire�察�Lose God�察�and find Gods in the mire�察�

And drink dream´deep life's heady wine So let them pass�察�these songs of 

mine。 



                         DAYLIGHT HUMORS 



                       THIS IS ANOTHER DAY 



    I   AM    mine   own   priest�察 �and  I  shrive  myself  Of   all  my  wasted 

yesterdays。    Though sin And sloth and foolishness�察�and all ill weeds Of 

error�察 �evil�察 �and   neglect  grow   rank And   ugly  there�察 �I   dare   forgive   myself 

That   error�察  �sin�察  �and   sloth   and   foolishness。   God   knows   that   yesterday   I 

played the fool�察�God knows that yesterday I played the knave�察�But shall I 

therefore   cloud  this   new   dawn   o'er   With   fog   of   futile   sighs   and   vain

regrets�拭�

     This   is   another   day�  �And   flushed   Hope   walks Adown   the   sunward 

slopes with golden shoon。 This is another day�察�and its young strength Is 

laid upon the quivering hills until�察�Like Egypt's Memnon�察�they grow quick 

with song。 This is another day�察�and the bold world Leaps up and grasps its 

light�察�and laughs�察�as leapt Prometheus up and wrenched the fire from Zeus。 

     This   is   another   dayare   its   eyes   blurred   With   maudlin   grief   for   any 

wasted past�拭�A thousand thousand failures shall not daunt� �Let dust clasp 

dust�察�death�察�deathI am alive� �And out of all the dust and death of mine 

Old selves I dare to lift a singing heart And living faith�察�my spirit dares 

drink deep Of the red mirth mantling in the cup of morn。 



                                      APRIL SONG 



     FLEET   across   the   grasses       Flash   the   feet   of   Spring�察  �Piping�察  �as   he 

passes Fleet across the grasses�察 �Follow�察�lads and lasses�                  �Sing�察�world�察�

sing� ─�Fleet across the grasses          Flash the feet of Spring� �

     Idle   winds   deliver     Rumors   through   the   town�察  �Tales   of   reeds   that 

quiver�察  �Idle   winds   deliver�察  �Where   the   rapid   river     Drags   the   willows 

down Idle winds deliver           Rumors through the town。 

     In the country places         By the silver brooks April airs her graces�察�In 

the country places Wayward April paces�察               �Laughter in her looks�察�In the 

country places        By the silver brooks。 

     Hints of alien glamor          Even reach the town�察�Urban muses stammer 

Hints   of   alien   glamor�察  �But   the   city's   clamor   Beats   the   voices   down�察�

Hints of alien glamor         Even reach the town。 



                  THIS EARTH�察�IT IS ALSO A STAR 



     WHERE   the   singers   of   Saturn   find      tongue�察     �Where   the    Galaxy's 

lovers   embrace�察  �Our   world   and   its   beauty   are   sung�     �They   lean   from 

their casements to trace         If our planet still spins in its place�察�Faith fables 

the thing that we are�察       �And Fantasy laughs and gives chase�此�This earth�察�it 

is also a star� �

     Round the sun�察�that is fixed�察�and hung            For a lamp in the darkness of

space    We    are  whirled�察   �we   are  swirled�察  �we   are   flung�察    �Singing     and 

shining     we   race    And     our  light  on   the  uplifted   face  Of   dreamer    or 

prophet afar       May fall as a symbol of grace�此�This earth�察�it is also a star� �

     Looking   out   where   our   planet   is   swung      Doubt   loses   his   writhen 

grimace�察�Dry hearts drink the gleams and are young�察                  �Where agony's

                                     THE NAME 



     IT shifts and shifts from form to form�察           �It drifts and darkles�察�gleams 

and glows�察  �It   is   the passion   of the   storm�察   �The   poignance   of the   rose�察�

Through   changing   shapes�察  �through   devious                ways�察     �By   noon   or 

night�察   �through    cloud   or   flame�察  �My    heart   has  followed     all  my   days 

Something I cannot name。 

     In   sunlight   on   some   woman's   hair�察    �Or   starlight   in   some   woman's 

eyne�察�Or in low laughter smothered where                 Her red lips wedded mine�察�

My   heart   hath   known�察  �and   thrilled   to   know�察    �This   unnamed   presence 

that it sought�察�And when my heart hath found it so�察               �Love is the name�察─�

I thought。 

     Sometimes when sudden afterglows                In futile glory storm the skies 

Within their transient gold and rose            The secret stirs and dies�察�Or when 

the   trampling   morn   walks   o'er      The   troubled   seas�察  �with   feet   of   flame�察�

My awed heart whispers�察 �Ask no more�察               �For Beauty is the name� ─�

     Or    dreaming     in  old  chapels    where      The     dim   aisles   pulse   with 

murmurings That part are  music�察�part are prayer                ��Or rush of   hidden 

wings��     Sometimes      I  lift  a  startled   head      To    some    saint's   carven 

countenance�察  �Half   fancying   that   the   lips   have   said�察   �All   names   mean 

God�察�perchance� ─�



                                     THE BIRTH 



     THERE is a legend that the love of God So quickened under Mary's

heart it wrought Her very  maidenhood to holier stuff。 。 。 。 However that 

may  be�察  �the   birth befell   Upon   a   night   when   all the   Syrian   stars   Swayed 

tremulous before one lordlier orb That rose in gradual splendor�察 �Paused�察�

Flooding the firmament with mystic light�察�And dropped upon the breathing 

hills A sudden music Like a distillation from its gleams�察�A rain of spirit 

and a dew of song� �



                           A MOOD OF PAVLOWA 



     THE soul of the Spring through its body of earth                 Bursts in a bloom 

of fire�察�And the crocuses come in a rainbow riot of mirth。。。。                They flutter�察�

they   burn�察  �they   take   wing�察  �they           aspire。   。   。   。   Wings�察  �motion   and 

music     and    flame�察   �Flower�察   �woman      and    laughter�察   �and   all   these   the 

same� �She is light and first love and the youth of the                      world�察�She is 

sandaled with joy 。 。 。 she is lifted and                 whirled�察�She is flung�察�she is 

swirled�察 �she   is   driven   along     By  the  carnival   winds   that   have   torn   her 

away       From the coronal bloom on the brow of the                       May。 。 。 。 She 

is youth�察�she is foam�察�she is flame�察�she is                  visible Song� �

       THE POOL 

     REACH   over�察  �my   Undine�察  �and   clutch   me   a   reed   Nymph   of   mine 

idleness�察�notch me a pipe For I am fulfilled of the silence�察�and long For 

to utter the sense of the silence in song。 

     Down´stream   all   the   rapids   are   troubled   with   pebbles       That   fetter 

and    fret  what    the  water    would    utter�察 �And    it  rushes   and   splashes    in 

tremulous      trebles�察    �It  makes     haste   through    the  shallows�察   �its  soul   is 

aflutter�察�

     But   here   all   the   sound   is   serene   and   outspread  In   the   murmurous 

moods of a slow´swirling pool�察             �Here all the sounds are unhurried and 

cool�察�Every silence is kith to a sound�察�they are wed�察�They are mated�察�are 

mingled�察  �are   tangled�察  �are            bound�察  �Every   hush   is   in   love   with   a 

sound�察�every sound By the law of its life to some silence is bound。 

     Then here will we hide�察�idle here and abide�察�In the covert here�察�close 

by the waterside Here�察�where the   slim flattered reeds are aquiver With 

the exquisite hints of the reticent river�察         �Here�察�where the lips of this pool 

are the lips Of all pools�察�let us listen and question and wait�察              �Let us hark

to the whispers of love and of death�察�Let us hark to the lispings of life and 

of fate In this place where pale silences flower into sound Let us strive 

for   some   secret   of   all   the   profound   Deep   and   calm   Silence   that   meshes 

men 'round� �There's as much of God hinted in one ripple's                         plashes´
