grasped me。 We came to wrestling grips�察�And back and forth we swayed�察�

Hand   seeking   throat�察  �and   crook'd   knee   seeking   To   encrook   unwary   leg�察�

And spread toes grasping the uneven ground�察�The strained breast muscles 

cracked     and   creaked�察   �The   sweat   ran   in  my   eyes�察  �The   plagued    breath 

sobbed and whistled through                my throat�察�I tasted blood�察�and strangled�察�

but   still   struggled       on   The   stars   above   me   danced   in   swarms   like 

yellow          bees�察�The shaken moonlight writhed upon the rocks�察�But at 

the last I felt his breathing weaker grow�察�The tense limbs grow less tense�察�

And with a bursting cry I bent his head right              back�察�Back�察�back�察�until I 

heard his neck bones snap�察�His spine crunched in my grip�察�I flung him to 

the earth and knelt upon his breast 

     And listened till the fluttering pulse was stilled。 Man�察�god�察�or devil�察�I 

had   wrenched   the   life   from        him�     �And   lo��even   as   he   died   The 

moonlight failed above the vale�察�And somehow�察�sure�察�I know now how� �

Between the rifted rocks the great Sun struck A finger down the cliff�察�and 

that red beam Lay sharp across the face of him that I had slain�察�And in that 

light I read the answer of the silent            gods Unto my cursed´out prayer�察�

For he  that lay  upon the ground   wasI� �I  understood   the lesson then�察  �It 

was myself that lay there dead�察�Yes�察�I had slain my Self。 



                                   THE REBEL 



    No doubt the ordered worlds speed on              With purpose in their wings�察�

No   doubt   the   ordered   songs   are   sweet   Each   worthy   angel   sings�察�And 

doubtless it is wise to heed        The ordered words of Kings�察�

     But   how   the   heart   leaps   up   to   greet The   headlong�察  �rebel   flight�察�

Whenas some   reckless meteor            Blazes   across   the night�   �Some   comet 

ByronLucifer        Has dared to Be�察�and fight� �

    No doubt but it is safe to dwell         Where ordered duties are�察�No doubt 

the cherubs earn their wage          Who wind each ticking star�察�

    No doubt the system is quite right�          �Sane�察�ordered�察�regular�察�

     But   how   the   rebel   fires   the   soul Who   dares   the   strong   gods'   ire� �

Each Byron��Shelley��Lucifer�            �And all the outcast choir That chant 

when some Prometheus            Leaps up to steal Jove's fire� �



                     THE CHILD AND THE MILL 



     BETTER a pauper�察�penniless�察�asleep on the kindly                   sod Better a 

gipsy�察�houseless�察�but near to the heart            of God�察�

     That   beats   for   ears   not   dulled   by   the   clanking wheels   of   care 

Better starvation and freedom�察�hope and the good                 fresh air 

     Than death to the Something in him that was                   born to laugh and 

dream�察�That was kin to the idle lilies and the ripples of              the stream。
