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。
Page�此�23
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��
Page�此�34
Till the glory of the Saviour touched her head and rested there��
Turned her eyes towards the sea´line ´ saw beyond the fiery crest��
Floating over waves of jasper�察�far Hy´Brasil in the west。
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��
Hath the holy seen Hy´Brasil whe
