          AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL 



    O   BEAUTIFUL   for   spacious   skies�察  �For   amber   waves   of   grain�察  �For

in law� �

                       YELLOW CLOVER 



     MUST  I�察  �who   walk   alone�察  �come   on   it   still�察�This   Puck   of   plants   The 

wise   would   do   away   with�察  �The   sunshine   slants   To   play   with�察  �Our   wee�察�

gold´dusty   flower�察  �the   yellow   clover�察  �Which   once   in   Parting   for   a   time 

That then seemed long�察�Ere time for you was over�察�We sealed our own�拭�Do 

you   remember   yet�察  �O   Soul   beyond   the   stars�察  �Beyond   the   uttermost   dim 

bars   Of   space�察  �Dear   Soul�察  �who   found   earth   sweet�察  �Remember   by   love's 

grace�察�In dreamy hushes of the heavenly song�察�How suddenly we halted in 

our    climb�察  �Lingering�察    �reluctant�察  �up   that  farthest   hill�察 �Stooped    for   the 

blossoms closest to our feet�察�And gave them as a token Each to Each�察�In 

lieu   of   speech�察  �In   lieu   of   words   too   grievous   to   be   spoken�察�Those   little�察�

gypsy�察�wondering blossoms wet With a strange dew of tears�拭�

     So    it  began�察  �This    vagabond�察    �unvalued     yellow     clover�察  �To   be   our 

tenderest language。 All the years It lent a new zest to the summer hours�察�

As   each   of   us   went   scheming   to   surprise   The   other   with   our   homely�察�

laureate flowers。 Sonnets and odes Fringing our daily roads。 Can amaranth 

and asphodel Bring merrier laughter to your eyes�拭�Oh�察�if the Blest�察�in their 

serene   abodes�察  �Keep   any   wistful   consciousness   of   earth�察  �Not   grandeurs�察�

but   the   childish   ways   of   love�察  �Simplicities   of   mirth�察  �Must   follow   them 

above   With   touches   of   vague   homesickness   that   pass   Like   shadows   of 

swift birds across the grass。 Beneath some foreign arch of sky�察�How many 

a time the rover You or I�察�For life oft sundered look from look�察�And voice 

from voice�察�the transient dearth Schooling my soul to brook This distance 

that no messages may span�察�Would chance Upon our wilding by a lonely 

well�察�Or drowsy watermill�察�Or swaying to the chime of convent bell�察�Or 

where   the   nightingales   of   old   romance   With   tragical   contraltos   fill   Dim 

solitudes of infinite desire�察�And once I joyed to meet Our peasant gadabout 

A trespasser on trim�察�seigniorial seat�察�Twinkling a saucy eye As potentates 

paced by。 

     Our golden cord� �our soft�察�pursuing flame 〃From friendship's altar fire� �

How proudly we would pluck and tame 

     The   dimpling   clusters�察  �mutinously   gay�   �How   swiftly   they   were   sent 

Far�察�far away On journeys wide�察�By sea and continent�察�Green miles   and

blue   leagues   over�察   �From   each   of   us   to   each�察  �That   so   our   hearts   might 

reach�察�And touch within the yellow clover�察�

     Love's letter to be glad about Like sunshine when it came� �

     My sorrow asks no healing�察�it is love�察�Let love then make me brave To 

bear   the   keen   hurts   of   This   careless   summertide�察  �Ay�察  �of   our   own   poor 

flower�察�Changed   with our  fatal hour�察�For  all   its sunshine  vanished   when 

you died�察�Only white clover blossoms on your grave。

                       THE RETURNING 



    We   long   for   her�察  �we   yearn   for   her Yes�察  �ardently   we   yearn   For   her 

return。 Recalling those beloved days ��Days intimate with ways Of friends 

so near to us And life so dear to us���察�We yearn unspeakably for her return。 

    And come she must。 。 。Yet while we trust We soon may see the passing 

of this agony Which makes intrusive years still seem A fearsome dream�察�

We know that when she comes She really comes not back again。 

     She'll   come   in   other guise And   under   fairer   skies And   yet   to   bitter 

pain� �That day she went away Our homes with laughing youth were filled。 

Where then was happiness Is now distress�察�The laughter stilled�察�For when 

she left Youth followed her´ We stay bereft。 

       So all our golden joy For what she brings Must carry gray alloy�此�The 

sorrow that she can not lay�察�The mysery that she can not stay´ While all 

the   gladsome   songs   she   sings   Must   bear   for   undertones   Old   sighs   and 

echoed moans。 

    As they who go away In flush of youth May come quite worn and gray 

And bringing naught but ruth´ So�察�when the strife shall cease�察�And when 

she comes at last�察�When all the armies vast Shall at her feet Kneel down to 

greet Thrice welcome Peace�察�This world will be so changed ��So many dear 

ones dead�察�So many friends estranged�察�So many blessings fled�察�So many 

wonted ways forever barred�察�So many coming days forever marred�� That 

then She truly comes not back again She�察�the Peace we knew。 

    Yet how we long for her� �How ardently we yearn For her return� �

      TWO MOODS FROM THE HILL 



                                            I。 



                                        YOUTH 

    I LOVE to watch the world from here�察�for all The numberless living 

portraits that are drawn Upon the mind。          Far over is the sea�察�Fronting the 

sand�察  �a   few   great   yellow   dunes�察�A  salt   marsh   stumbling   after�察  �rank   and 

green�察�With brackish gullies wandering in between�察�All this from the hill。 

And   more�此  �a   clump   of   dwarfed   and   twisted   cedars�察  �Sentinels   over   the 

marsh�察�and bright with the sun A field of daises wandering in the wind As 

though   a   hidden   serpent   glided   through�察  �A   broken   wall�察  �a   new´plowed 

field�察�and then The dusty road and the abodes of men Surrounding the hill。 

How small the enclosure is wherein there lives Each phase and passion of 

life�察�the distant sail Dips in the limpid bosom of the sea�察 �From that far 

place to where in state the turf Raises a throne for me upon the hill�察�Each 

little love and lust of a living thing Can thus be compassed in a rainbow 

ring And seen from the hill。 



                                            II。
