Fear not�察 �my child� �Though the waves are white and high�察�And the
storm blows wild Through the gloomy sky�察�On the edge of the western sea�察�
See that line of golden light�察�Is the haven bright Where home is awaiting
thee�察�Where�察�this peril past�察�We shall rest from our stormy voyage In peace
at last。
Be not afraid�察 �But give me thy hand�察 �and see How the waves have
made A cradle for thee。 Night is come�察 �dear�察 �and we shall rest�察 �So turn
from the angry skies�察�And close thine eyes�察�And lay thy head on my breast�此�
Child�察�do not weep�察�In the calm�察�cold�察�purple depths There we shall sleep。

VERSE�此 �UNEXPRESSED
Dwells within the soul of every Artist More than all his effort can
express�察�And he knows the best remains unuttered�察�Sighing at what WE
call his success。
Vainly he may strive�察�he dare not tell us All the sacred mysteries of the
skies�此 �Vainly he may strive�察 �the deepest beauty Cannot be unveiled to
mortal eyes。
And the more devoutly that he listens�察�And the holier message that is
sent�察�Still the more his soul must struggle vainly�察�Bowed beneath a noble
discontent。
No great Thinker ever lived and taught you All the wonder that his
soul received�察�No true Painter ever set on canvas All the glorious vision he
conceived。
No Musician ever held your spirit Charmed and bound in his
melodious chains�察 �But be sure he heard�察 �and strove to render�察 �Feeble
echoes of celestial strains。
No real Poet ever wove in numbers All his dream�察�but the diviner part�察�
Hidden from all the world�察�spake to him only In the voiceless silence of
his heart。
So with Love�此 �for Love and Art united Are twin mysteries�察�different�察�
yet the same�此�Poor indeed would be the love of any Who could find its full
and perfect name。
Love may strive�察�but vain is the endeavour All its boundless riches to
enfold�察 �Still its tenderest�察 �truest secret lingers Ever in its deepest depths
untold。
Things of Time have voices�此 �speak and perish。 Art and Love speak
but their words must be Like sighings of illimitable forests�察�And waves of
an unfathomable sea。

VERSE�此 �BECAUSE
It is not because your heart is minemine only ´ Mine alone�察�It is not
because you chose me�察�weak and lonely�察�For your own�察�Not because the
earth is fairer�察 �and the skies Spread above you Are more radiant for the
shining of your eyes ´ That I love you� �
It is not because the world's perplexed meaning Grows more clear�察�
And the Parapets of Heaven�察�with angels leaning�察�Seem more near�察�And
Nature sings of praise with all her voices Since yours spoke�察�Since within
my silent heart�察�that now rejoices�察�Love awoke� �
Nay�察 �not even because your hand holds heart and life�察�At your will
Soothing�察�hushing all its discord�察�making strife Calm and still�察�Teaching
Trust to fold her wings�察�nor ever roam From her nest�察�Teaching Love that
her securest�察�safest home Must be Rest。
But because this human Love�察�though true and sweet ´ Yours and mine
´ Has been sent by Love more tender�察�more complete�察�More divine�察�That it
leads our hearts to rest at last in Heaven�察�Far above you�察�Do I take you as a
gift that God has given ´ ´ And I love you� �

VERSE�此 �REST AT EVENING
When the weariness of Life is ended�察�And the task of our long day is
done�察�And the props�察 �on which our hearts depended�察�All have failed or
broken�察�one by one�察�Evening and our Sorrow's shadow blended Telling us
that peace is now begun。
How far back will seem the sun's first dawning�察�And those early mists
so cold and grey� �Half forgotten even the toil of morning�察�And the heat
and burthen of the day�此�Flowers that we were tending�察�and weeds scorning�察�
All alike withered and cast away。
Vain will seem the impatient heart�察 �which waited Toils that gathered
but too quickly round�察�And the childish joy�察�so soon elated At the path we
thought none else had found�察�And the foolish ardour�察�soon abated By the
storm which cast us to the ground。
Vain those pauses on the road�察 �each seeming As our final home and
resting´place�察�And the leaving them�察�while tears were streaming Of eternal
sorrow down our face�察�And the hands we held�察�fond folly dreaming That
no future could their touch efface。
All will then be faded�此� night will borrow Stars of light to crown our
perfect rest�察�And the dim vague memory of faint sorrow Just remain to
show us all was best�察�Then melt into a divine to´morrow�此� Oh�察�how poor a
day to be so blest� �

VERSE�此 �A RETROSPECT
From this fair point of present bliss�察�Where we together stand�察�Let me
look back once more�察 �and trace That long and desert land�察 �Wherein till
now was cast my lot�察�and I could live�察�and thou wert not。
Strange that my heart could beat�察 �and know Alternate joy and pain�察�
That suns could roll from east to west�察�And clouds could pass in rain�察�And
the slow hours without thee fleet�察�nor stay their noiseless silver feet。
What had I then�拭�a hope�察�that grew Each hour more bright and dear�察�
The flush upon the eastern skies That showed the sun was near�此� Now
night has faded far away�察�my sun has risen�察�and it is day。
A dim Ideal of tender grace In my soul reigned supreme�察�Too noble
and too sweet I thought To live�察�save in a dream ´ Within thy heart to´day
it lies�察�and looks on me from thy dear eyes。
Some gentle spiritLove I thought ´ Built many a shrine of pain�察�
Though each false Idol fell to dust�察�The worship was not vain�察�But a faint
radiant shadow cast back from our Love upon the Past。
And Grief�察�too�察�held her vigil there�察�With unrelenting sway Breaking
my cloudy visions down�察�Throwing my flowers away�此� I owe to her fond
care alone that I may now be all thine own。
Fair Joy was thereher fluttering wings At times she strove to raise�察�
Watching through long and patient nights�察 �Listening long eager days�此 �I
know now that her heart and mine were waiting�察�Love�察�to welcome thine。
Thus I can read thy name throughout�察�And�察�now her task is done�察�Can
see that even that faded Past Was thine�察�beloved one�察�And so rejoice my
Life may be all consecrated�察�dear�察�to thee。

VERSE�此 �TRUE OR FALSE
So you think you love me�察�do you�拭�Well�察�it may be so�察�But there are
many ways of loving I have learnt to know。 Many ways�察�and but one true
way�察�Which is very rare�察�And the counterfeits look brightest�察�Though they
will not wear。
Yet they ring�察�almost�察�quite truly�察�Last ��with care�� for long�察�But in time
must break�察 �may shiver At a touch of wrong�此 �Having seen what looked
most real Crumble into dust�察 �Now I chose that test and trial Should
precede my trust。
I have seen a love demanding Time and hope and tears�察�Chaining all
the past�察�exacting Bonds from future years�察�Mind and heart�察�and joy and
sorrow�察�Claiming as its fee�此�That was Love of Self�察�and never�察�Never Love
of me� �
I have seen a love forgetting All above�察�beyond�察�Linking every dream
and fancy In a sweeter bond�察�Counting every hour worthless�察�Which was
cold or free�此� That�察�perhaps�察�wasLove of Pleasure�察�But not Love of me� �
I have seen a love whose patience Never turned aside�察�Full of tender�察�
fond devices�察 �Constant�察 �even when tried�察 �Smallest boons were held as
victories�察�Drops that swelled the sea�此�That I think wasLove of Power�察�But
not Love of me� �
I have seen a love disdaining Ease and pride and fame�察�Burning even
its own white pinions Just to feed its flame�察 �Reigning thus�察 �supreme�察�
triumphant�察�By the soul's decree�察�That wasLove of Love�察�I fancy�察�But not
Love of me� �
I have heardor dreamt�察�it may be ´ What Love is when true�察�How to
test and how to try it�察�Is the gift of few�此�These few say ��or did I dream it�殖�
That true Love abides In these very things�察�but always Has a soul besides。
Lives among the false loves�察�knowing Just their peace and strife�此�Bears
the self´same look�察�but always Has an inner life。 Only a true heart can find
it�察�True as it is true�察 �Only eyes as clear and tender Look it through and
through。
If it dies�察 �it will not perish By Time's slow decay�察 �Tr
