amethyst。 And still another shining place We would remember how
the dun Wild mountain held us on its crest One diamond morning white
with sun。
But I will turn my eyes from you As women turn to put away The
jewels they have worn at night And cannot wear in sober day。

Interlude�此 �Songs out of Sorrow
I。 Spirit's House
From naked stones of agony I will build a house for me�察�As a mason
all alone I will raise it�察�stone by stone�察�And every stone where I have bled
Will show a sign of dusky red。 I have not gone the way in vain�察�For I have
good of all my pain�察�My spirit's quiet house will be Built of naked stones I
trod On roads where I lost sight of God。
II。 Mastery
I would not have a god come in To shield me suddenly from sin�察�And
set my house of life to rights�察 �Nor angels with bright burning wings
Ordering my earthly thoughts and things�察�Rather my own frail guttering
lights Wind blown and nearly beaten out�察�Rather the terror of the nights
And long�察�sick groping after doubt�察�Rather be lost than let my soul Slip
vaguely from my own control Of my own spirit let me be In sole though
feeble mastery。
III。 Lessons
Unless I learn to ask no help From any other soul but mine�察�To seek
no strength in waving reeds Nor shade beneath a straggling pine�察�Unless
I learn to look at Grief Unshrinking from her tear´blind eyes�察�And take
16

Love Songs
from Pleasure fearlessly Whatever gifts will make me wise Unless I
learn these things on earth�察�Why was I ever given birth�拭�
IV。 Wisdom
When I have ceased to break my wings Against the faultiness of things�察�
And learned that compromises wait Behind each hardly opened gate�察�
When I can look Life in the eyes�察�Grown calm and very coldly wise�察�Life
will have given me the Truth�察�And taken in exchange my youth。
V。 In a Burying Ground
This is the spot where I will lie When life has had enough of me�察�
These are the grasses that will blow Above me like a living sea。
These gay old lilies will not shrink To draw their life from death of
mine�察�And I will give my body's fire To make blue flowers on this vine。
;O Soul�察─�I said�察 �have you no tears�拭 �Was not the body dear to you�拭─�
I heard my soul say carelessly�察 �The myrtle flowers will grow more
blue。;
VI。 Wood Song
I heard a wood thrush in the dusk Twirl three notes and make a star ´
´ My heart that walked with bitterness Came back from very far。
Three shining notes were all he had�察 �And yet they made a starry call
I caught life back against my breast And kissed it�察�scars and all。

Love Songs
VII。 Refuge
From my spirit's gray defeat�察�From my pulse's flagging beat�察�From my
hopes that turned to sand Sifting through my close´clenched hand�察�From
my own fault's slavery�察�If I can sing�察�I still am free。
For with my singing I can make A refuge for my spirit's sake�察�A house
of shining words�察�to be My fragile immortality。

The Flight
Look back with longing eyes and know that I will follow�察�Lift me up in
your love as a light wind lifts a swallow�察�Let our flight be far in sun or
blowing rain *But what if I heard my first love calling me again��*
Hold me on your heart as the brave sea holds the foam�察�Take me far
away to the hills that hide your home�察�Peace shall thatch the roof and love
shall latch the door *But what if I heard my first love calling me once
more��*
Dew
As dew leaves the cobweb lightly Threaded with stars�察 �Scattering
jewels on the fence And the pasture bars�察�As dawn leaves the dry grass
bright And the tangled weeds Bearing a rainbow gem On each of their
seeds�察 �So has your love�察 �my lover�察 �Fresh as the dawn�察 �Made me a
shining road To travel on�察 �Set every common sight Of tree or stone
Delicately alight For me alone。
To´night
The moon is a curving flower of gold�察 �The sky is still and blue�察�The
moon was made for the sky to hold�察 �And I for you。
The moon is a flower without a stem�察 �The sky is luminous�察�Eternity
19

was made for them�察 �To´night for us。
Ebb Tide
When the long day goes by And I do not see your face�察�The old wild�察�
restless sorrow Steals from its hiding place。
My day is barren and broken�察 �Bereft of light and song�察�A sea beach
bleak and windy That moans the whole day long。
To the empty beach at ebb tide�察 �Bare with its rocks and scars�察�Come
back like the sea with singing�察 �And light of a million stars。
I Would Live in Your Love
I would live in your love as the sea´grasses live in the sea�察�Borne up by
each wave as it passes�察�drawn down by each wave that recedes�察�I would
empty my soul of the dreams that have gathered in me�察�I would beat with
your heart as it beats�察�I would follow your soul as it leads。
Because
Oh�察�because you never tried To bow my will or break my pride�察�And
nothing of the cave´man made You want to keep me half afraid�察�Nor ever
with a conquering air You thought to draw me unaware Take me�察�for I
love you more Than I ever loved before。
And since the body's maidenhood Alone were neither rare nor good
Unless with it I gave to you A spirit still untrammeled�察 �too�察 �Take my
dreams and take my mind That were masterless as wind�察�And ;Master� ─�I
shall say to you Since you never asked me to。

The Tree of Song
I sang my songs for the rest�察 �For you I am still�察�The tree of my song
is bare On its shining hill。
For you came like a lordly wind�察 �And the leaves were whirled Far as
forgotten things Past the rim of the world。
The tree of my song stands bare Against the blue I gave my songs
to the rest�察 �Myself to you。
The Giver
You bound strong sandals on my feet�察 �You gave me bread and wine�察�
And sent me under sun and stars�察 �For all the world was mine。
Oh�察�take the sandals off my feet�察 �You know not what you do�察�For all
my world is in your arms�察 �My sun and stars are you。
April Song
Willow�察�in your April gown Delicate and gleaming�察�Do you mind in
years gone by All my dreaming�拭�
Spring was like a call to me That I could not answer�察�I was chained
to loneliness�察 �I�察�the dancer。
Willow�察 �twinkling in the sun�察�Still your leaves and hear me�察 �I can
answer spring at last�察 �Love is near me� �
The Wanderer
I saw the sunset´colored sands�察 �The Nile like flowing fire between�察�
21

Love Songs
Where Rameses stares forth serene�察�And Ammon's heavy temple stands。
I saw the rocks where long ago�察 �Above the sea that cries and breaks�察�
Swift Perseus with Medusa's snakes Set free the maiden white like snow。
And many skies have covered me�察 �And many winds have blown me
forth�察 �And I have loved the green�察 �bright north�察�And I have loved the
cold�察�sweet sea。
But what to me are north and south�察 �And what the lure of many lands�察�
Since you have leaned to catch my hands And lay a kiss upon my mouth。
The Years
To´night I close my eyes and see A strange procession passing me
The years before I saw your face Go by me with a wistful grace�察 �They
pass�察�the sensitive�察�shy years�察�As one who strives to dance�察�half blind with
tears。
The years went by and never knew That each one brought me nearer
you�察�Their path was narrow and apart And yet it led me to your heart Oh�察�
sensitive�察 �shy years�察 �oh�察 �lonely years�察 �That strove to sing with voices
drowned in tears。
Enough
It is enough for me by day To walk the same bright earth with him�察�
Enough that over us by night The same great roof of stars is dim。
I do not hope to bind the wind Or
