sea And the forest's murmured sigh Joined the cry Of the wind that swept 

o'er land and sea。 

     The wind that blew upon the sea Fierce and free�察�Cast the bark upon 

the shore�察�Whence it sailed the night before Full of hope and glee�察�And the 

cry of pain and death Was but a breath�察�Through the wind that roared upon 

the sea。 

     The wind was whispering on the lea Tenderly�察�But the white rose felt it 

pass�察  �And    the  fragile  stalks  of  grass   Shook    with   fear  to  see  All  her 

trembling petals shed�察�As it fled�察�So gently by��the wind upon the lea。 

    Blow�察�thou wind�察�upon the sea Fierce and free�察�And a gentler message 

send�察  �Where   frail   flowers   and   grasses   bend�察  �On   the   sunny   lea�察  �For   thy 

bidding still is one�察�Be it done In tenderness or wrath�察�on land or sea� �

              VERSE�此                  �EXPECTATION 



     The King's three daughters stood on the terrace�察�The hanging terrace�察�

so broad and green�察�Which keeps the sea from the marble Palace�察�There 

was    Princess    May�察   �and   Princess    Alice�察 �And    the   youngest    Princess�察�

Gwendoline。 

     Sighed Princess May�察 �Will it last much longer�察�Time throbs so slow 

and my Heart so quick�察�And oh�察�how long is the day in dying�察�Weary am I 

of waiting and sighing�察�For Hope deferred makes the spirit sick。; 

    But   Princess   Gwendoline   smiled   and   kissed   her�此�   ;Am   I   not   sadder 

than    you�察  �my   Sister�拭  �Expecting     joy   is  a  happy   pain。   The    Future's 

fathomless mine of treasures�察�All countless hordes of possible pleasures�察�

Might bring their store to my feet in vain。; 

     Sighed Princess Alice as night grew nearer�此� ;So soon�察�so soon�察�is the 

daylight   fled� �And   oh�察  �how   fast   comes   the   dark   to´morrow�察  �Who   hides�察�

perhaps in her veil of sorrow�察�The terrible hour I wait and dread� ─�

    But Princess Gwendoline kissed her�察�sighing�察 � ;It is only Life that can 

fear dying�察�Possible loss means possible gain。 Those who still dread�察�are 

not   quite   forsaken�察  �But   not   to   fear�察  �because   all   is   taken�察  �Is   the   loneliest 

depth of human pain。;

                     VERSE�此                   �AN IDEAL 



     While the grey mists of early dawn Were lingering round the hill�察�And 

the   dew   was   still   upon   the   flowers�察�And   the   earth   lay   calm   and   still�察�A 

winged Spirit came to me Noble�察�and radiant�察�and free。 

     Folding his blue and shining wings�察�He laid his hand on mine。 I know 

not if I felt�察�or heard The mystic word divine�察�Which woke the trembling 

air to sighs�察�And shone from out his starry eyes。 

     The word he spoke�察�within my heart Stirred life unknown before�察�And 

cast a spell upon my soul To chain it evermore�察�Making the cold dull earth 

look bright�察�And skies flame out in sapphire light。 

     When noon ruled from the heavens�察�and man Through busy day toiled 

on�察�My Spirit drooped his shining wings�察�His radiant smile was gone�察�His 

voice had ceased�察�his grace had flown�察�His hand grew cold within my own。 

     Bitter�察  �oh   bitter   tears�察  �I   wept�察�Yet   still   I   held   his   hand�察  �Hoping   with 

vague   unreasoning   hope�此  �I   would   not   understand   That   this   pale   Spirit 

never more Could be what he had been before。 

     Could it be so�拭     �My heart stood still。 Yet he was by my side。 I strove�察�

but   my   despair   was   vain�察�Vain�察  �too�察  �was   love   and   pride。   Could   he   have 

changed to me so soon�拭�My day was only at its noon。 

     Now stars are rising one by one�察�Through the dim evening air�察�Near 

me   a   household   Spirit   waits�察  �With   tender   loving   care�察  �He   speaks   and 

smiles�察�but never sings�察�Long since he lost his shining wings。 

     With   thankful�察  �true   content�察  �I   know   This   is   the   better   way�察  �Is   not   a 

faithful spirit mine ´ Mine stillat close of day�拭 � 。 。 Yet will my foolish 

heart repine For that bright morning dream of mine。

     Nothing   is   our   own�此   �we   hold   our   pleasures   Just   a   little   while�察  �ere 

they are fled�此�One by one life robs us of our treasures�察�Nothing is our own 

except our Dead。 

     They are ours�察�and hold in faithful keeping Safe for ever�察�all they took 

away。  Cruel   life   can   never   stir   that sleeping�察  �Cruel   time   can   never   seize 

that prey。 

     Justice pales�察�truth fades�察�stars fall from Heaven�察�Human are the great 

whom we revere�此�No true crown of honour can be given�察�Till we place it 

on a funeral bier。 

     How   the   Children   leave   us�此    �and   no   traces   Linger   of   that   smiling 

angel   band�察  �Gone�察  �for   ever   gone�察  �and   in   their   places�察  �Weary   men   and 

anxious women stand。 

     Yet we have some little ones�察�still ours�察�They have kept the baby smile 

we know�察�Which we kissed one day and hid with flowers�察�On their dead 

white faces�察�long ago。 

     When our  Joy  is   lostand life  will take   it   ´ Then   no   memory  of   the 

past   remains�察  �Save   with   some   strange�察  �cruel   sting�察 �to   make   it   Bitterness 

beyond all present pains。 

     Death�察�more tender´hearted�察�leaves to sorrow Still the radiant shadow�察�

fond regret�此�We shall find�察�in some far�察�bright to´morrow�察�Joy that he has 

taken�察�living yet。 

     Is Love ours�察�and do we dream we know it�察�Bound with all our heart´ 

strings�察  �all   our   own�拭�Any   cold   and   cruel   dawn   may   show   it�察  �Shattered�察�

desecrated�察�overthrown。 

     Only the dead Hearts forsake us never�察�Death's last kiss has been the 

mystic sign Consecrating Love our own for ever�察�Crowning it eternal and 

divine。 

     So when Fate would fain besiege our city�察�Dim our gold�察�or make our 

flowers   fall�察  �Death   the Angel�察  �comes   in   love   and   pity�察�And   to   save   our 

treasures�察�claims them all。
