     Then   its   voice   grew   lower�察  �gentler�察  �And   its   pace   less   fleet�察  �Just   as 

though it loved to linger Round the rushes' feet�察�As they stooped to meet 

Their clear images below�察�Broken by the ripples' flow。 

     Purple Willow´herb bent over To her shadow fair�察�Meadow´sweet�察�in 

feathery clusters�察�Perfumed all the air�察�Silver´weed was there�察�And in one 

calm�察�grassy spot�察�Starry�察�blue Forget´me´not。 

     Tangled   weeds�察  �below   the   waters�察  �Still   seemed   drawn   away�察�Yet   the 

current�察�floating onward�察�Was less strong than they�察 � Sunbeams watched 

their play�察�With a flickering light and shade�察�Through the screen the Alders 

made。 

     Broader   grew   the   flowing   River�察  �To   its   grassy   brink   Slowly�察  �in   the 

slanting sun´rays�察�Cattle trooped to drink�此�The blue sky�察�I think�察�Was no 

bluer than that stream�察�Slipping onward�察�like a dream。 

     Quicker�察�deeper then it hurried�察�Rushing fierce and free�察�But I said�察 �It 

should grow calmer Ere it meets the Sea�察�The wide purple Sea�察�Which I 

weary for in vain�察�Wasting all my toil and pain。; 

     But it rushed still quicker�察�fiercer�察�In its rocky bed�察�Hard and stony was 

the   pathway   To   my   tired   tread�察   �I   despair�察─  �I   said�察   �Of   that   wide   and 

glorious Sea That was promised unto me。; 

     So   I   turned   aside�察  �and   wandered   Through   green   meadows   near�察  �Far 

away�察 �among   the   daisies�察  �Far   away�察 �for   fear   Lest   I   still should   hear The 

loud murmur of its song�察�As the River flowed along。 

     Now I hear it not�此� I loiter Gaily as before�察�Yet I sometimes think��and 

thinking Makes my heart so sore�察 � Just a few steps more�察�And there might 

have shone for me�察�Blue and infinite�察�the Sea。

        VERSE�此                  �IF THOU COULDST 

                                  KNOW 



    I   think   if   thou   couldst   know�察  �Oh   soul   that   will   complain�察  �What   lies 

concealed below Our  burden and our pain�察�How just   our anguish   brings 

Nearer   those   longed´for   things   We   seek   for   now   in   vain�察   �   I   think   thou 

wouldst rejoice�察�and not complain。 

    I think if thou couldst see�察�With thy dim mortal sight�察�How meanings�察�

dark to thee�察�Are shadows hiding light�察�Truth's efforts crossed and vexed�察�

Life's purpose all perplexed�察 � If thou couldst see them right�察�I think that 

they would seem all clear�察�and wise�察�and bright。 

    And yet thou canst not know�察�And yet thou canst not see�察�Wisdom and 

sight are slow In poor humanity。 If thou couldst TRUST�察�poor soul�察�In Him 

who rules the whole�察�Thou wouldst find peace and rest�此�Wisdom and sight 

are well�察�but Trust is best。

         VERSE�此                  �THE WARRIOR TO 

                     HIS DEAD BRIDE 



    If   in   the   fight   my   arm   was   strong�察�And   forced   my   foes   to   yield�察  �If 

conquering and unhurt I came Back from the battle´field ´ It is because thy 

prayers have been My safeguard and my shield。 

    My comrades smile to see my arm Spare or protect a foe�察�They think 

thy gentle pleading voice Was silenced long ago�察�But pity and compassion�察�

love�察�Were taught me first by woe。 

    Thy heart�察 �my  own�察 �still   beats   in   Heaven With   the same   love divine 

That made thee stoop to such a soul�察�So hard�察�so stern�察�as mine ´ My eyes 

have learnt to weep�察�beloved�察�Since last they looked on thine。 

    I hear thee murmur words of peace Through the dim midnight air�察�And 

a   calm   falls   from   the   angel   stars   And   soothes   my   great   despair   ´   The 

Heavens themselves look brighter�察�love�察�Since thy sweet soul is there。 

    And if my heart is once more calm�察�My step is once more free�察�It is 

because   each   hour   I   feel   Thou   prayest   still   for   me�察  �Because   no   fate   or 

change can come Between my soul and thee。 

    It is because my heart is stilled。 Not broken by despair�察�Because I see 

the grave is bright�察�And death itself is fair ´ I dread no more the wrath of 

Heaven ´ I have an angel there� �

                     VERSE�此                   �A LETTER 



     Dear�察�I tried to write you such a letter As would tell you all my heart 

to´day。 Written Love is poor�察�one word were better�察�Easier�察�too�察�a thousand 

times�察�to say。 

     I can tell you all�此    �fears�察�doubts unheeding�察�While I can be near you�察�

hold   your   hand�察  �Looking   right   into   your   eyes�察  �and   reading   Reassurance 

that you understand。 

     Yet   I  wrote it through�察 �then   lingered�察 �thinking Of  its   reaching   you�察�

what   hour�察  �what   day�察  �Till   I   felt   my   heart   and   courage   sinking   With   a 

strange�察�new�察�wondering dismay。 

     ;Will    my   letter  fall�察─ �I  wondered     sadly�察   �On   her   mood    like  some 

discordant   tone�察  �Or   be   welcomed   tenderly   and   gladly�拭�Will   she   be   with 

others�察�or alone�拭�

     ;It may find her too absorbed to read it�察�Save with hurried glance and 

careless air�此�Sad and weary�察�she may scarcely heed it�察�Gay and happy�察�she 

may hardly care。 

     ;Shall Idare Irisk the chances�拭─�slowly Something��was it shyness�察�

love�察�or pride�拭 � Chilled my heart�察�and checked my courage wholly�察�So I 

laid it wistfully aside。 

     Then I leant against the casement�察�turning Tearful eyes towards the far´ 

off   west�察  �Where     the   golden   evening   light   was   burning�察   �Till   my   heart 

throbbed back again to rest。 

     And I thought�此       �Love's soul is not in fetters�察�Neither space nor time 

keep souls   apart�察  �Since I   cannotdare notsend   my  letters�察�Through the 

silence I will send my heart。 

     ;If�察�perhaps now�察�while my tears are falling�察�She is dreaming quietly 

alone�察  �She   will hear   my  Love's   far   echo   calling�察  �Feel   my  spirit   drawing 

near her own。 

     ;She will hear�察�while twilight shades enfold her�察�All the gathered Love 

she knows so well ´ Deepest Love my words have ever told her�察�Deeper 

stillall I could never tell。 

     ;Wondering   at   the   strange   mysterious   power   That   has   touched   her

heart�察�then she will say�此� 'Some one whom I love�察�this very hour�察�Thinks of 

me�察�and loves me�察�far away。' 

     ;If�察�as well may be�察�to´night has found her Full of other thoughts�察�with 

others   by�察�Through   the  words and   claims   that   gather  round   her  She   will 

hear just one�察�half´smothered sigh�察�

     ;Or will marvel why�察�without her seeking�察�Suddenly the thought of me 

recurs�察  �Or�察  �while   listening   to   another   speaking�察  �Fancy   that   my   hand   is 

holding hers。; 

     So I dreamed�察�and watched the stars' far splendour Glimmering on the 

azure   darkness�察  �start�察   �   While   the   star   of   trust   rose   bright   and   tender�察�

Through the twilight shadows of my heart。
