VERSE�此 �A FAREWELL
Farewell�察 �oh dream of mine� �I dare not stay�察�The hour is come�察 �and
time Will not delay�此�Pleasant and dear to me Wilt thou remain�察�No future
hour Brings thee again。
She stands�察�the Future dim�察�And draws me on�察�And shows me dearer
joys ´ But thou art gone� �Treasures and Hopes more fair�察�Bears she for me�察�
And yet I linger�察�Oh dream�察�with thee� �
Other and brighter days�察�Perhaps she brings�察�Deeper and holier songs�察�
Perchance she sings�察 �But thou and I�察 �fair time�察 �We too must sever ´ Oh
dream of mine�察�Farewell for ever� �

VERSE�此 �SOWING AND
REAPING
Sow with a generous hand�察 �Pause not for toil or pain�察 �Weary not
through the heat of summer�察�Weary not through the cold spring rain�察�But
wait till the autumn comes For the sheaves of golden grain。
Scatter the seed�察�and fear not�察�A table will be spread�察�What matter if
you are too weary To eat your hard´earned bread�此�Sow�察�while the earth is
broken�察�For the hungry must be fed。
Sow��while the seeds are lying In the warm earth's bosom deep�察�And
your warm tears fall upon it ´ They will stir in their quiet sleep�察�And the
green blades rise the quicker�察�Perchance�察�for the tears you weep。
Then sow��for the hours are fleeting�察�And the seed must fall to´day�察�
And care not what hands shall reap it�察�Or if you shall have passed away
Before the waving corn´fields Shall gladden the sunny day。
Sow�察 �and look onward�察 �upward�察 �Where the starry light appears ´
Where�察�in spite of the coward's doubting�察�Or your own heart's trembling
fears�察�You shall reap in joy the harvest You have sown to´day in tears。

VERSE�此 �THE STORM
The tempest rages wild and high�察�The waves lift up their voice and cry
Fierce answers to the angry sky�察 � Miserere Domine。
Through the black night and driving rain�察�A ship is struggling�察�all in
vain To live upon the stormy main�察 � Miserere Domine。
The thunders roar�察�the lightnings glare�察�Vain is it now to strive or dare�察�
A cry goes up of great despair�察 � Miserere Domine。
The stormy voices of the main�察�The moaning wind�察 �and pelting rain
Beat on the nursery window pane�此� Miserere Domine。
Warm curtained was the little bed�察 �Soft pillowed was the little head�察�
;The storm will wake the child�察─�they said�此� Miserere Domine。
Cowering among his pillows white He prays�察�his blue eyes dim with
fright�察 �Father�察�save those at sea to´night� ─�Miserere Domine。
The morning shone all clear and gay�察�On a ship at anchor in the bay�察�
And on a little child at play�察 � Gloria tibi Domine� �

VERSE�此 �WORDS
Words are lighter than the cloud´foam Of the restless ocean spray�察�
Vainer than the trembling shadow That the next hour steals away。 By the
fall of summer raindrops Is the air as deeply stirred�察�And the rose´leaf that
we tread on Will outlive a word。
Yet�察 �on the dull silence breaking With a lightning flash�察 �a Word�察�
Bearing endless desolation On its blighting wings�察�I heard�此�Earth can forge
no keener weapon�察 �Dealing surer death and pain�察 �And the cruel echo
answered Through long years again。
I have known one word hang starlike O'er a dreary waste of years�察�And
it only shone the brighter Looked at through a mist of tears�察�While a weary
wanderer gathered Hope and heart on Life's dark way�察 �By its faithful
promise�察�shining Clearer day by day。
I have known a spirit�察�calmer Than the calmest lake�察�and clear As the
heavens that gazed upon it�察�With no wave of hope or fear�察�But a storm had
swept across it�察�And its deepest depths were stirred�察。�Never�察�never more to
slumber�撮� Only by a word。
I have known a word more gentle Than the breath of summer air�察�In a
listening heart it nestled�察�And it lived for ever there。 Not the beating of its
prison Stirred it ever�察 �night or day�察 �Only with the heart's last throbbing
Could it fade away。
Words are mighty�察 �words are living�此 �Serpents with their venomous
stings�察�Or bright angels�察�crowding round us�察�With heaven's light upon their
wings�此�Every word has its own spirit�察�True or false�察�that never dies�察�Every
word man's lips have uttered Echoes in God's skies。

VERSE�此 �A LOVE TOKEN
Do you grieve no costly offering To the Lady you can make�拭 �One
there is�察�and gifts less worthy Queens have stooped to take。
Take a Heart of virgin silver�察�Fashion it with heavy blows�察�Cast it into
Love's hot furnace When it fiercest glows。
With Pain's sharpest point transfix it�察�And then carve in letters fair�察�
Tender dreams and quaint devices�察�Fancies sweet and rare。
Set within it Hope's blue sapphire�察�Many´changing opal fears�察�Blood´
red ruby´stones of daring�察�Mixed with pearly tears。
And when you have wrought and laboured Till the gift is all complete�察�
You may humbly lay your offering At the Lady's feet。
Should her mood perchance be gracious ´ With disdainful smiling
pride�察�She will place it with the trinkets Glittering at her side。

VERSE�此 �A TRYST WITH
DEATH
I am footsore and very weary�察�But I travel to meet a Friend�此�The way is
long and dreary�察�But I know that it soon must end。
He is travelling fast like the whirlwind�察�And though I creep slowly on�察�
We are drawing nearer�察�nearer�察�And the journey is almost done。
Through the heat of many summers�察�Through many a springtime rain�察�
Through long autumns and weary winters�察�I have hoped to meet him�察�in
vain。
I know that he will not fail me�察�So I count every hour chime�察�Every
throb of my own heart's beating�察�That tells of the flight of Time。
On the day of my birth he plighted His kingly word to me�此� I have seen
him in dreams so often�察�That I know what his smile must be。
I have toiled through the sunny woodland�察�Through fields that basked
in the light�察�And through the lone paths in the forest I crept in the dead of
night。
I will not fear at his coming�察�Although I must meet him alone�察�He will
look in my eyes so gently�察�And take my hand in his own。
Like a dream all my toil will vanish�察�When I lay my head on his breast
´ But the journey is very weary�察�And he only can give me rest� �

VERSE�此 �FIDELIS
You have taken back the promise That you spoke so long ago�察�Taken
back the heart you gave me ´ I must even let it go。 Where Love once has
breathed�察�Pride dieth�此 �So I struggled�察 �but in vain�察�First to keep the links
together�察�Then to piece the broken chain。
But it might not beso freely All your friendship I restore�察�And the
heart that I had taken As my own for evermore。 No shade of reproach shall
touch you�察�Dread no more a claim from me ´ But I will not have you fancy
That I count myself as free。
I am bound by the old promise�察�What can break that golden chain�拭�Not
even the words that you have spoken�察 �Or the sharpness of my pain�此 �Do
you think�察 �because you fail me And draw back your hand to´day�察 �That
from out the heart I gave you My strong love can fade away�拭�
It will live。 No eyes may see it�察�In my soul it will lie deep�察�Hidden
from all�察�but I shall feel it Often stirring in its sleep。 So remember�察�that the
friendship Which you now think poor and vain�察�Will endure in hope and
patience�察�Till you ask for it again。
Perhaps in some long twilight hour�察�Like those we have known of old�察�
When past shadows gather round you�察�And your present friends grow cold�察�
You may stretch your hands out towards me�察 � Ah� �you willI know not
when ´ I shall nurse my love and keep it Faithfully�察�for you�察�till then。

VERSE�此 �A SHADOW
What lack the valleys and mountains That once were green and gay�拭�
What lack the babbling fountains�拭 �Their voice is sad to´day。 Only the
sound of a voice�察�Tender and sweet and low�察�That made the earth rej
