     Wild is the cry of the sea in the caves by it ´
         Sea that is smitten by spears of the snow��
     Desolate songs are the songs of the waves by it ´
         Down in the south�察�where the ships never go。


     Storm from the Pole is the singer that sings to it
         Hymns of the land at the planet's grey verge。
     Thunder discloses dark�察�wonderful things to it ´
         Thunder and rain�察�and the dolorous surge。
     Hills with no hope of a wing or a leaf on them��
         Scarred with the chronicles written by flame��

     Page�此�22 
     Stare�察�through the gloom of inscrutable grief on them��
         Down on the horns of the gulfs without name。
     Cliffs�察�with the records of fierce flying fires on them ´
         Loom over perilous pits of eclipse��
     Alps�察�with anathema stamped in the spires on them ´
         Out by the wave with a curse on its lips。


     Never is sign of soft�察�beautiful green on it ´
         Never the colour�察�the glory of rose��
     Neither the fountain nor river is seen on it��
         Naked its crags are�察�and barren its snows��
     Blue as the face of the drowned is the shore of it ´
         Shore�察�with the capes of indefinite cave。
     Strange is the voice of its wind�察�and the roar of it
         Startles the mountain and hushes the wave。
     Out to the south and away to the north of it��
         Spectral and sad are the spaces untold��
     All the year round a great cry goeth forth of it ´
         Sob of this leper of lands in the cold。

     No man hath stood�察�all its bleak�察�bitter years on it ´
         Fall of a foot on its wastes is unknown��
     Only the sound of the hurricane's spears on it
         Breaks with the shout from the uttermost zone。
     Blind are its bays with the shadow of bale on them��
         Storms of the nadir their rocks have uphurled��
     Earthquake hath registered deeply its tale on them ´
         Tale of distress from the dawn of the world��
     There are the gaps�察�with the surges that seethe in them ´
         Gaps in whose jaws is a menace that glares��
     There the wan reefs�察�with the merciless teeth in them��
         Gleam on a chaos that startles and scares��


     Back in the dawn of this beautiful sphere�察�on it ´
         Land of the dolorous�察�desolate face ´
     Beamed the blue day�察�and the bountiful year on it
         Fostered the leaf and the blossom of grace。
     Grand were the lights of its midsummer noon on it ´
         Mornings of majesty shone on its seas��

     Page�此�24 
     Glitter of star and the glory of moon on it
         Fell�察�in the march of the musical breeze。
     Valleys and hills�察�with the whisper of wing in them��
         Dells of the daffodil ´ spaces impearled��
     Flowered and flashed with the splendour of Spring in them ´
         Back in the morn of this wonderful world。


     Soft were the words that the thunder then said to it ´
         Said to this lustre of emerald plain��
     Sun brought the yellow�察�the green�察�and the red to it ´
         Sweet were the songs of its silvery rain。
     Voices of water and wind in the bays of it
         Lingered�察�and lulled like the psalm of a dream。
     Fair were the nights and effulgent the days of it ´
         Moon was in shadow and shade in the beam。
     Summer's chief throne was the marvellous coast of it��
         Home of the Spring was its luminous lea��
     Garden of glitter� �But only the ghost of it
         Moans in the south by the ghost of a sea。

BLACK LIZZIE


     The gloved and jewelled bards who sing
         Of Pippa�察�Maud�察�and Dorothea��
     Have hardly done the handsome thing
         For you�察�my inky Cytherea。


     Flower of a land whose sunny skies
         Are like the dome of Dante's clime��
     They might have praised your lips�察�your eyes��
         And�察�eke�察�your ankles in their rhyme��


     But let them pass� �To right your wrong��
         Aspasia of the ardent South��
     Your poet means to sing a song
         With some prolixity of mouth。


Page�此�26 


     I'll even sketch you as you are
         In Herrick's style of carelessness��
     Not overstocked with things that bar
         An ample view ´ to wit�察�with dress。


     You have your blanket�察�it is true��
         But then�察�if I am right at all��
     What best would suit a dame like you
         Was worn by Eve before the Fall。


     Indeed�察�the ``fashion'' is a thing
         That never cramped your cornless toes��
     Your single jewel is a ring
         Slung in your penetrated nose。


     I can't detect the flowing lines
         Of Grecian features in your face��
     Nor are there patent any signs
         That link you with the Roman race。


Page�此�27 


     In short�察�I do not think your mould
         Resembles�察�with its knobs of bone��
     The fair Hellenic shapes of old
         Whose perfect forms survive in stone。


     Still�察�if the charm called Beauty lies
         In ampleness of ear and lip��
     And nostrils of exceeding size��
         You are a gem�察�my ladyship��


     Here�察�squatting by the doubtful flame
         Of three poor sticks�察�without a roof
     Above your head�察�impassive dame
         You live on ´ somewhat hunger´proof。


     The current scandals of the day
         Don't trouble you ´ you seem to take
     Things in the coolest sort of way ´
         And wisest ´ for you have no ache。


Page�此�28 


     You smoke a pipe ´ of course�察�you do��
         About an inch in length or less��
     Which�察�from a sexual point of view��
         Mars somehow your attractiveness。


     But�察�rather than resign the weed��
         You'd shock us�察�whites�察�by chewing it��
     For etiquette is not indeed
         A thing that bothers you a bit。


     Your people ´ take them as a whole ´
         Are careless on the score of grace��
     And hence you needn't comb your poll
         Or decorate your unctuous face。


     Still�察�seeing that a little soap
         Would soften an excess of tint��
     You'll pardon my advance�察�I hope��
         In giving you a gentle hint。


Page�此�29 


     You have your lovers ´ dusky beaux
         Not made of the poetic stuff
     That sports an Apollonian nose��
         And wears a sleek Byronic cuff。


     But rather of a rougher clay
         Unmixed with overmuch romance��
     Far better at the wildwood fray
         Than spinning in a ballroom dance。


     These scarcely are the sonneteers
         That sing their loves in faultless clothes��
     Your friends have more decided ears
         And more capaciousness of nose。


     No doubt they suit you best ´ although
         They woo you roughly it is said��
     Their way of courtship is a blow
         Struck with a nullah on the head。


Page�此�30 


     It doesn't hurt you much ´ the thing
         Is hardly novel to your life��
     And�察�sans the feast and marriage ring��
         You make a good impromptu wife。


     This hasty sort of wedding might��
         In other cases�察�bring distress��
     But then�察�your draper's bills are light ´
         You're frugal in regard to dress。


     You have no passion for the play��
         Or park�察�or other showy scenes��
     And�察�hence�察�you have no scores to pay��
         And live within your husband's means。


     Of course�察�his income isn't large�察 �
         And not too certain ´ still you thrive
     By steering well inside the marge��
         And keep your little ones alive。


Page�此�31 


     In short�察�in some respects you set
         A fine example�察�and a few
     Of those white matrons I have met
         Would show some sense by copying you。


     Here let us part� �I will not say��
         O lady free from scents and starch��
     That you are like�察�in any way��
         The authoress of ``Middlemarch''。


     One cannot match her perfect phrase
         With commonplaces from your lip��
     And yet there are some sexual traits
         That show your dim relationship。


     Indeed�察�in spite of all the mists
         That grow from social codes�察�I see
     The liberal likeness which exists
         Throughout our whole humanity。


Page�此�32 


     And though I've laughed at your expense��
         O Dryad of the dusky race��
     No man who has a heart and sense
         Would bring displeasure to your face。

HY´BRASIL


     ``DAUGHTER��'' said the ancient father�察�pausing by the evening sea��
     ``Turn thy face towards the sunset ´ turn thy face and kneel with me��
     Prayer and praise and holy fasting�察�lips of love and life of light��
     These and these have made thee perfect ´ shining saint with seraph's sight��
     Look towards that flaming crescent ´ look beyond that glowing space ´
     Tell me�察�sister of the angels�察�what is beaming in thy face��''
     And the daughter�察�who had fasted�察�who had spent her days in prayer��

     All the calmness and the colour ´ all the splendour and repose��
     Flowing where the sunset flowered�察�like a silver´hearted rose��
     There indeed was singing Eden�察�where the great gold river runs
     Past the porch and gates of crystal�察�ringed by strong and shining ones��
     There indeed was God's own garden�察�sailing down the sapphire sea ´
     Lawny dells and slopes of summer�察�dazzling stream and radiant tree��

     Page�此�35 
     Out against the hushed horizon ´ out beneath the reverent day��
     Flamed the Wonder on the waters ´ flamed and flashed and passed away。
     And the maiden who had seen it felt a hand within her own��
     And an angel that we know not led her to the lands unknown。


     Never since hath eye beheld it ´ never since hath mortal�察�dazed
     By its strange�察�unearthly splendour�察�on the floating Eden gazed��
     Only once since Eve went weeping through a throng of glittering wings��
