    You   smile   to   see   me   turn   and   speak   With   one   whose   converse   you 

despise�察�You do not see the dreams of old That with his voice arise ´ How 

can you tell what links have made Him sacred in my eyes�拭�

    Oh�察�these are Voices of the Past�察�Links of a broken chain�察�Wings that 

can bear me back to Times Which cannot come again ´ Yet God forbid that 

I should lose The echoes that remain� �

            VERSE�此                  �THE DARK SIDE 



     Thou hast done well�察�perhaps�察�To lift the bright disguise�察�And lay the 

bitter   truth   Before   our   shrinking  eyes�察  �When   evil   crawls   below   What 

seems so pure and fair�察�Thine eyes are keen and true To find the serpent 

there�此�And yetI turn away�察�Thy task is not divine ´ The evil angels look 

On earth with eyes like thine。 

     Thou    hast  done   well�察  �perhaps�察  �To   show   how   closely   wound     Dark 

threads of sin and self With our best deeds are found。 How great and noble 

hearts�察�Striving for lofty aims�察�Have still some earthly cord A meaner spirit 

claims�察�And yetalthough thy task Is well and fairly done�察�Methinks for 

such as thou There is a holier one。 

     Shadows there are�察�who dwell Among us�察�yet apart�察�Deaf to the claim 

of God�察�Or kindly human heart�察�Voices of earth and heaven Call�察�but they 

turn away�察�And Love�察�through such black night�察�Can see no hope of day�察�

And yetour eyes are dim�察�And thine are keener far ´ Then gaze till thou 

canst see The glimmer of some star。 

     The   black   stream   flows   along�察  �Whose   waters   we   despise   ´   Show   us 

reflected   there   Some   fragment   of   the   skies�察  �'Neath   tangled   thorns   and 

briars�察。�The task is fit for thee�撮� Seek for the hidden flowers�察�We are too 

blind to see�察�Then will I thy great gift A crown and blessing call�察�Angels 

look thus on men�察�And God sees good in all� �



                                                                                      68

          VERSE�此                 �A FIRST SORROW 



    Arise�   �this   day   shall   shine�察  �For   evermore�察  �To   thee   a   star   divine�察  �On 

Time's dark shore。 

    Till now thy soul has been All glad and gay�此�Bid it awake�察�and look At 

grief to´day� �

    No    shade   has   come    between    Thee   and   the  sun�察 �Like   some    long 

childish dream Thy life has run�此�

    But now  the   stream  has   reached A dark�察  �deep sea�察�And   Sorrow�察  �dim 

and crowned�察�Is waiting thee。 

    Each of God's soldiers bears A sword divine�此�Stretch out thy trembling 

hands To´day for thine� �

    To each anointed Priest God's summons came�此�Oh�察�Soul�察�he speaks to´ 

day And calls thy name。 

    Then�察�with slow reverent step�察�And beating heart�察�From out thy joyous 

days�察�Thou must depart。 

    And�察�leaving all behind�察�Come forth�察�alone�察�To join the chosen band 

Around the throne。 

    Raise up thine eyesbe strong�察�Nor cast away The crown�察�that God has 

given Thy soul to´day� �

                   VERSE�此                 �MURMURS 



    Why  wilt   thou   make   bright   music   Give   forth   a sound   of   pain�拭�Why 

wilt thou weave fair flowers Into a weary chain�拭�

    Why turn each cool grey shadow Into a world of fears�拭�Why say the 

winds are wailing�拭�Why call the dewdrops tears�拭�

    The voices of happy nature�察�And the Heaven's sunny gleam�察�Reprove 

thy sick heart's fancies�察�Upbraid thy foolish dream。 

    Listen�察�and I will tell thee The song Creation sings�察�From the humming 

of bees in the heather�察�To the flutter of angels' wings。 

    An echo rings for ever�察�The sound can never cease�察�It speaks to God of 

glory�察�It speaks to Earth of peace。 

    Not    alone   did  angels   sing  it  To  the  poor  shepherds'    ear�察 �But  the 

sphered Heavens chant it�察�While listening ages hear。 

    Above thy peevish wailing Rises that holy song�察�Above Earth's foolish 

clamour�察�Above the voice of wrong。 

    No creature of God's too lowly To murmur peace and praise�此�When the 

starry nights grow silent�察�Then speak the sunny days。 

     So leave thy sick heart's fancies�察�And lend thy little voice To the silver 

song of glory That bids the world rejoice。

    See    the  rivers   flowing   Downwards      to  the   sea�察 �Pouring   all  their 

treasures Bountiful and free ´ Yet to help their giving Hidden springs arise�察�

Or�察�if need be�察�showers Feed them from the skies� �

    Watch the princely  flowers Their   rich   fragrance   spread�察  �Load   the   air 

with perfumes�察�From their beauty shed ´ Yet their lavish spending Leaves 

them not in dearth�察�With fresh life replenished By their mother earth� �

    Give thy heart's best treasures ´ From fair Nature learn�察�Give thy love 

and ask not�察�Wait not a return� �And the more thou spendest From thy little 

store�察�With a double bounty�察�God will give thee more。

     It   is   a   dreary   evening�察  �The   shadows   rise   and   fall�此  �With   strange   and 

ghostly changes�察�They flicker on the wall。 

    Make the charred logs burn brighter�察�I will show you�察�by their blaze�察�

The half´forgotten record Of bygone things and days。 

    Bring here the ancient volume�察�The clasp is old and worn�察�The gold is 

dim and tarnished�察�And the faded leaves are torn。 

     The dust has gathered on it ´ There are so few who care To read what 

Time has written Of joy and sorrow there。 

     Look at the first fair pages�察�YesI remember all�此�The joys now seem so 

trivial�察�The griefs so poor and small。 

     Let us read the dreams of glory That childish fancy made�察�Turn to the 

next few pages�察�And see how soon they fade。 

    Here�察�where still waiting�察�dreaming�察�For some ideal Life�察�The young 

heart all unconscious Had entered on the strife。 

     See how this page is blotted�此�Whatcould those tears be mine�拭�How 

coolly I can read you�察�Each blurred and trembling line。 

    Now I can reason calmly�察�And�察�looking back again�察�Can see divinest 

meaning Threading each separate pain。

prayers�察�which God in pity Refused to grant or hear。 

    NayI   will   turn   the   pages To   where   the tale   is   told   Of   how   a   dawn 

diviner Flushed the dark clouds with gold。 

    And see�察�that light has gilded The storynor shall set�察�And�察�though in 

mist and shadow�察�You know I see it yet。 

    Herewell�察�it does not matter�察�I promised to read all�察�I know not why I 

falter�察�Or why my tears should fall�察�

    You see each grief is noted�察�Yet it was better so ´ I can rejoice to´day 

the pain Was over�察�long ago。 

     I readmy voice is failing�察�But you can understand How the heart beat 

that guided This weak and trembling hand。

     The   bond   that   links   our   souls   together�察  �Will   it   last   through   stormy

it look too poor and slight Let us break the links to´night� �

What words or vows could never do�察�No words or vows can make untrue�察�

We know that it could bear the weight Of a most heavy heart of late�察�And
