again��
We have stood on the shore of the plain where the Waters of Destiny boom。
A mart of destruction we made at Jalula where men were afraid��
For death was a difficult trade�察�and the sword was a broker of doom��
And the Spear was a Desert Physician who cured not a few of ambition��
And drave not a few to perdition with medicine bitter and strong��
And the shield was a grief to the fool and as bright as a desolate pool��
And as straight as the rock of Stamboul when their cavalry thundered
along��
For the coward was drowned with the brave when our battle sheered up like
a wave��
And the dead to the desert we gave�察�and the glory to God in our song。
JOSEPH AND MARY
JOSEPH
Mary�察�art thou the little maid
Who plucked me flowers in Spring��
I know thee not�此 �I feel afraid��
Thou'rt strange this evening。
A sweet and rustic girl I won
What time the woods were green��
No woman with deep eyes that shone��
And the pale brows of a Queen。
MARY ��inattentive to his words。��
A stranger came with feet of flame
And told me this strange thing�察 �
For all I was a village maid
My son should be a King。
JOSEPH
A King�察�dear wife。 Who ever knew
Of Kings in stables born��
MARY
Do you hear�察�in the dark and starlit blue
The clarion and the horn��
JOSEPH
Mary�察�alas�察�lest grief and joy
Have sent thy wits astray��
But let me look on this my boy��
And take the wraps away。
MARY
Behold the lad。
JOSEPH
I dare not gaze��
Light streams from every limb。
MARY
The winter sun has stored his rays��
And passed the fire to him。
Look Eastward�察�look� �I hear a sound。
O Joseph�察�what do you see��
JOSEPH
The snow lies quiet on the ground
And glistens on the tree��
The sky is bright with a star's great light��
And clearly I behold
Three Kings descending yonder hill��
Whose crowns are crowns of gold。
O Mary�察�what do you hear and see
With your brow toward the West��
MARY
The snow lies glistening on the tree
And silent on Earth's breast��
And strong and tall�察�with lifted eyes
Seven shepherds walk this way��
And angels breaking from the skies
Dance�察�and sing hymns�察�and pray。
JOSEPH
I wonder much at these bright Kings��
The shepherds I despise。
MARY
You know not what a shepherd sings��
Nor see his shining eyes。
NO COWARD'S SONG
I am afraid to think about my death��
When it shall be�察�and whether in great pain
I shall rise up and fight the air for breath
Or calmly wait the bursting of my brain。
I am no coward who could seek in fear
A folklore solace or sweet Indian tales��
I know dead men are deaf and cannot hear
The singing of a thousand nightingales。
I know dead men are blind and cannot see
The friend that shuts in horror their big eyes��
And they are witlessO I'd rather be
A living mouse than dead as a man dies。
A WESTERN VOYAGE
My friend the Sunlike all my friends
Inconstant�察�lovely�察�far away ´
Is out�察�and bright�察�and condescends
To glory in our holiday。
A furious march with him I'll go
And race him in the Western train��
And wake the hills of long ago
And swim the Devon sea again。
I have done foolishly to head
The footway of the false moonbeams��
To light my lamp and call the dead
And read their long black printed dreams。
I have done foolishly to dwell
With Fear upon her desert isle��
To take my shadowgraph to Hell��
And then to hope the shades would smile。
And since the light must fail me soon
��But faster�察�faster�察�Western train�。�
Proud meadows of the afternoon��
I have remembered you again。
And I'll go seek through moor and dale
A flower that wastrel winds caress��
The bud is red and the leaves pale��
The name of it Forgetfulness。
Then like the old and happy hills
With frozen veins and fires outrun��
I'll wait the day when darkness kills
My brother and good friend�察�the Sun。
FOUNTAINS
Soft is the collied night�察�and cool
The wind about the garden pool。
Here will I dip my burning hand
And move an inch of drowsy sand��
And pray the dark reflected skies
To fasten with their seal mine eyes。
A million million leagues away
Among the stars the goldfish play��
And high above the shadowed stars
Wave and float the nenuphars。
THE WELSH SEA
Far out across Carnarvon bay��
Beneath the evening waves��
The ancient dead begin their day
And stream among the graves。
Listen�察�for they of ghostly speech��
Who died when Christ was born��
May dance upon the golden beach
That once was golden corn。
And you may learn of Dyfed's reign��
And dream Nemedian tales
Of Kings who sailed in ships from Spain
And lent their swords to Wales。
Listen�察�for like a golden snake
The Ocean twists and stirs��
And whispers how the dead men wake
And call across the years。
OXFORD CANAL
When you have wearied of the valiant spires of this County Town��
Of its wide white streets and glistening museums�察�and black monastic
walls��
Of its red motors and lumbering trains�察�and self´sufficient people��
I will take you walking with me to a place you have not seen ´
Half town and half countrythe land of the Canal。
It is dearer to me than the antique town�此 �I love it more than the
rounded hills��
Straightest�察�sublimest of rivers is the long Canal。
I have observed great storms and trembled�此 �I have wept for fear of the
dark。
But nothing makes me so afraid as the clear water of this idle canal on a
summer s noon。
Do you see the great telegraph poles down in the water�察�how every wire is
distinct��
If a body fell into the canal it would rest entangled in those wires for
ever�察�between earth and air。
For the water is as deep as the stars are high。
One day I was thinking how if a man fell from that lofty pole
He would rush through the water toward me till his image was scattered by
his splash��
When suddenly a train rushed by�此 �the brazen dome of the engine flashed��
the long white carriages roared��
The sun veiled himself for a moment�察�and the signals loomed in fog��
A savage woman screamed at me from a barge�此 �little children began to
cry��
The untidy landscape rose to life�此 �a sawmill started��
A cart rattled down to the wharf�察�and workmen clanged over the iron
footbridge��
A beautiful old man nodded from the first story window of a square red
house��
And a pretty girl came out to hang up clothes in a small delightful
garden。
O strange motion in the suburb of a county town�此 �slow regular movement
of the dance of death��
Men and not phantoms are these that move in light。
Forgotten they live�察�and forgotten die。
HIALMAR SPEAKS TO THE RAVEN
from Leconte de Lisle
Night on the bloodstained snow�此 �the wind is chill��
And there a thousand tombless warriors lie��
Grasping their swords�察�wild´featured。 All are still。
Above them the black ravens wheel and cry。
A brilliant moon sends her cold light abroad��
Hialmar arises from the reddened slain��
Heavily leaning on his broken sword��
And bleeding from his side the battle´rain。
;Hail to you all�此 �is there one breath still drawn
Among those fierce and fearless lads who played
So merrily�察�and sang as sweet in the dawn
As thrushes singing in the bramble shade��
;They have no word to say�此 �my helm's unbound��
My breastplate by the axe unriveted��
Blood's on my eyes�察�I hear a spreading sound��
Like waves or wolves that clamour in my head。
;Eater of men�察�old raven�察�come this way��
And with thine iron bill open my breast��
To´morrow find us where we lie to´day��
And bear my heart to her that I love best。
;Through Upsala�察�where drink the Jarls and sing��
And clash their golden bowls in company��
Bird of the moor�察�carry on tireless wing
To Ylmer's daughter there the heart of me。
;And thou shalt see her standing straight and pale��
High pedestalled on some rook´haunted tower��
She has two earrings�察�silver and vermeil��
And eyes like stars that shine in sunset hour。
;Tell her my love�察�thou dark bird ominous��
Give her my heart�察�no bloodless heart and vile
But red compact and strong�察�O raven。 Thus
Shall Ylmer's daughter greet thee with a smile。
;Now let my life from twenty deep wounds flow��
And wolves may drink the blood。 My time is done。
Young�察�brave and spotless�察�I rejoice to go
And sit where all the Gods are�察�in the sun。;
THE BALLAD OF THE STUDENT IN THE SOUTH
It was no sooner than this morn
That first I found you there��
Deep in a field of southern corn
As golden as your hair。
I had read books you had not read��
Yet I was put to shame
To hear the simple words you said��
And see your eyes aflame。
Shall I forget when prying dawn
Sends me about my way��
The careless stars�察�the quiet lawn��
And you with whom I lay��
Your's is the beauty of the moon��
The wisdom of the sea��
Since first you tasted�察�sweet and soon��
Of God's forbidden tree。
Darling�察�a scholar's fancies sink
So faint beneath your song��
And you are right�察�why should we think��
We who are young and strong��
For we are simple�察�you and I��
We do what others do��
Linger and toil and laugh and die
And love the whole night through。
THE QUEEN'S SONG
Had I the power
To Midas given of old
To touch a flower
And leave the petals gold
I then might touch thy face��
Delightful boy��
And leave a metal grace��
A graven joy。
Thus would I slay�察 �
Ah�察�desperate device��
The vital day
That trembles in thine eyes��
And let the red lips close
Which sang so well��
And drive away the rose
To leave a shell。
Then I myself��
Rising austere and dumb
On the hight shelf
Of my half´lighted room��
Would place the shining bust
And wait alone��
Until I was but dust��
Buried unknown。
Thus in my love
For nations yet unborn��
I would remove
From our two lives the morn��
And muse on loveliness
In mine armchair��
Content should Time confess
How sweet you were。
LORD ARNALDOS
Quien hubiese tal ventura��
The strangest of adventures��
That happen by the sea��
Befell to Lord Arnaldos
On the Evening of St。 John��
For he was out a hunting ´
A huntsman bold was he� �
When he beheld a little ship
