eyelids love the dark Where never a light peeps through。 

     What��open´eyed�察�my dears�拭�Thinking your hearts will break。 There's 

nothing�察�nothing�察�nothing�察�I say�察�That's worth the lying awake� �

     I learned it in my youth´ Love I was dreaming of� �I learned it from the 

needle´work That took the place of love。 I learned it from the years And 

what   they   brought   about�察   �From   song�察  �and   from   the   hills   of   joy  Where 

sorrow sought me out。 

     It's good   to   dream and   turn�察�And turn   and   dream�察�or   fall To   comfort 

with my pack of bones�察�And know of nothing at all� �

     Yes�察 �never   know   at   all�   �If   prowlers   mew   or   bark�察  �Nor   wonder   if   it's 

three o'clock Or four o'clock of the dark。 

     When     the   longer   shades    have   fallen   And    the  last  weariness    Has 

brought the sweetest gift of life�察�The last forgetfulness。 

     If a sound as of old leaves Stir the last bed I keep�察�Then say�察�my dears�此�

;It's old Lizette´ She's turning in her sleep� ─�

                         MOTHERHOOD 



     MARY�察 �the   Christ   long slain�察 �passed   silently。  Following the   children 

joyously   astir   Under   the   cedrus   and   the   olive   tree�察  �Pausing   to   let   their 

laughter float to her。 Each voice an echo of a voice more dear�察�She saw a 

little Christ in every face�察�When lo�察�another woman�察�gliding near�察�Yearned 

o'er   the   tender   life   that   filled   the   place。 And   Mary   sought   the   woman's 

hand�察�and spoke�此 �I know thee not�察�yet know thy memory tossed With all a 

thousand dreams their eyes evoke Who bring to thee a child beloved and 

lost。 

     ;I�察�too�察�have rocked my little one�察�O�察�He was fair� �Yea�察�fairer than the 

fairest sun�察�And like its rays through amber spun His sun´bright hair。 Still I 

can see it shine and shine。; ;Even so�察─�the woman said�察�was mine。; 

     ;His ways were ever darling ways�察─� And Mary smiled�察 �So soft�察�so 

clinging� �Glad relays Of love were all His precious days。 My little child� �

My infinite star�     �My music fled� ─ �Even so was mine�察─�the woman said。 

     Then whispered Mary�此 �Tell me�察�thou�察�Of thine。; And she�此 �O�察 �mine 

was rosy as a boug 

     Blooming   with   roses�察  �sent�察  �somehow�察  �To   bloom   for   me�   �His   balmy 

fingers left a thrill Within my breast that warms me still。; 

     Then gazed she down some wilder�察�darker hour�察�And said�察�when Mary 

questioned�察�knowing not�察 �Who art thou�察�mother of so sweet a flower�拭─ �I 

am the mother of Iscariot。;

     THY hills are kneeling in the tardy spring�察�And wait�察�in supplication's 

gentleness�察�The certain resurrection that shall bring A robe of verdure for 

their   nakedness。   Thy   perfumed   valleys   where   the   twilights   dwell�察  �Thy 

fields within the sunlight's living coil 

    Now promise�察�while the veins of nature swell�察�Eternal recompense to 

human   toil。 And   when   the   sunset's   final   shades   depart   The   aspiration   to 

completed birth Is sweet and silent�察�as the soft tears start�察�We know how 

wanton   and   how   little   worth Are   all   the   passions   of   our   bleeding   heart 

That vex the awful patience of the earth。 



                                              II 



     Thine are the large winds and the splendid sun Glutting the spread of 

heaven to the floor Of waters rhythmic from far shore to shore�察�And thine 

the stars�察 �revealing   one by  one�察�Thine the  grave�察�lucent   night's oblivion�察�

The   tawny   moon   that   waits   below   the   skies�察  �Strange   as   the   dawn   that 

smote their blistered eyes Who watched from Calvary when the Deed was 

done。 And thine the good brown earth that bares its breast To thy benign 

October�察�thine the trees Lusty with fruitage in the late year's rest�察�

       And thine the men whos@ blood has glorified Thy name with Liberty 

Is divine decrees´ The men who loved thy soil and fought and died。 III 

     Toward thine Eastern window when the morn Steals through the silver 

mesh   of   silent   stars�察  �I   come   unlaurelled   from  the   strenuous   wars   Where 

men have fought and wept and died Forlorn。 

     But here�察�across the early fields of corn�察�The living silence dwelleth�察�

and the gray Sweet earth´mist�察�while afar the lisp of spray Breathes from 

the ocean like a Triton's horn。 Open   thy lattice�察�for the gage is won For 

which this earth has journeyed though the dust Of shattered systems�察�cold 

about the sun�察�And proved by sin�察�by mighty lives impearled�察�A voice cries

    THE SONG OF THE WAVE This is the song of the wave� �The mighty 

one� �Child of the soul of silence�察�beating the air to sound�此�White as a live 

terror�察�as a drawn sword�察�This is the wave。 



                                          II 



    This   is   the   song   of   the   wave�察  �the   white´maned   steed   of the Tempest 

Whose veins are swollen with life�察�In whose flanks abide the four winds。 

This is the wave。 



                                         III 



    This is the song of the wave�      �The dawn leaped out of the sea And the 

waters lay smooth as a silver shield�察�And the sun´rays smote on the waters 

like a golden sword。 Then a wind blew out of the morning And the waters 

rustled And the wave was born� �

    IV This is the song of the wave� �The wind blew out of the noon 

    And   the   white   sea´birds like driven   foam Winged in   from  the   ocean 

that lay beyond the sky And the face of the waters was barred with white�察�

For the wave had many brothers�察�And the wave was strong� �



                                          V 



    This is the song of the wave� �The wind blew out of the sunset And the 

west was lurid as Hell。 The black clouds closed like a tomb�察�for the sun 

was dead。 Then the wind smote full as the breath of God�察�And the wave 

called to its brothers�察 �This is the crest of life� ─�

                                            VI 



     This is the song of the wave�察�that rises to fall�察�Rises a sheer green wall 

like a barrier of glass That has caught the soul of the moonlight。 Caught 

and   prisoned   the   moon´beams�察  �Its   edge   is   frittered   to   foam。   This   is   the 

wave� �



                                           VII 



     This is the song of the wave�察�of the wave that falls´ Wild as a burst of 

day´gold blown through the colours of morning It shivers to infinite atoms 

up the rumbling steep of sand。 This is the wave。 



                                           VIII 



     This   is   the   song   of   the   wave   that   died   in   the   fullness   of   life。   The 

prodigal this�察�that lavished its largess of strength In the lust of attainment。 

Aiming   at   things   for   Heaven   too   high�察  �Sure   in   the   pride   of   life�察  �in   the 

richness   of   strength。   So   tried   it   the   impossible   height�察  �till   the   end   was 

found�此�Where ends the soul that yearns for the fillet of morning stars�察�The 

soul   in   the
