taught me how to say my letters�察�And take my hat off to my betters�察�And 

when   I   asked   for   fairy   stories�察  �He   told   me   of   angelic   glories。   He   was   a 

lovely farmer�察�he Had seen an angel in a tree。

                                         SONG 



                     FROM ;FLESH�此�A GEOGORIAN ODE; 

    EBB on with me across the sunset tide And float beyond the waters of 

the world�察�The light of evening slipping from my side�察�Thy softened voice 

in waves of silence furled。 

    Flow on into the flaming morning wine�察�Drowning the land in color。 

Then   on   high   Rise   in   thy   candid   innocence   and   shine   Like   to   a   poplar 

straight against the sky。

                             EVENSONG 



    A SHEPHERD piping�察�herald of the Night Who comes with Silence up 

the coloured vale�察�Treading low gently�察�clad in greyish white�察�Poignantly 

piping�察�sound   your reedy  wail�   �For Day  departed   moves in   funeral train 

Tended     by  Twilight   and�察 �in  deepest  rose�察 �The   splendid  Sunset   melts 

beneath the main While sweet the Sea´wind with cool softness blows。 As 

when     a  mother   gathers  to  her  breast  The   child  who   frets  for  Dad's 

remembered      smart�察 �Now    Light  fades   quickly  in  the  ashen  west�察 �And 

Night´Peace falls across my troubled heart。 Flutes�察�for the night   through 

let my mind be still�察�And God keep safe with Him my stubborn will� �

                           THE PROPHET 



    ALL day long he kept the sheep�此�Far and early�察�from the crowd�察�On 

the   hills   from   steep   to   steep�察  �Where   the   silence   cried   aloud�察  �And   the 

shadow of the cloud Wrapt him in a noonday sleep。 

    Where he dipped the water's cool�察�Filling boyish hands from thence�察�

Something breathed across the pool Stir of sweet enlightenments�察�And he 

drank�察�with thirsty sense�察�Till his heart was brimmed and full。 

     Still�察  �the   hovering   Voice   unshed�察�And   the   Vision   unbeheld�察�And   the 

mute sky overhead�察�And his longing�察�still withheld� �Even when the two 

tears welled�察�Salt�察�upon that lonely bread。 

    Vaguely   blessed   in   the   leaves�察  �Dim´companioned   in   the   sun�察  �Eager 

mornings�察�wistful   eyes�察�Very  hunger   drew him  on�察�And To´morrow  ever 

shone With the glow the sunset weaves。 

     Even   so�察 �to   that   young   heart�察�Words   and   hands   and   Men   were   dear�察�

And the stir of lane and mart After daylong vigil here。 Sunset called�察�and 

he drew near�察�Still to find his path apart。 

    When the Bell�察�with gentle tongue�察�Called the herd´bells home again�察�

Through   the   purple   shades   he   swung�察  �Down   the   mountain�察  �through   the 

glen�察�Towards the sound of fellow´men�察� Even from the light that clung。 

    Dimly too�察�as cloud on cloud�察�Came that silent flock of his�此�Thronging 

whiteness�察  �in   a   crowd�察�After   homing   twos   and   threes�察  �With   the   longing 

memories Of all white things dreamed and vowed。 

     Through the fragrances�察�alone�察�By the sudden´silent brook�察 �From the 

open world unknown�察�To the close of speech and book�察�There to find the 

foreign look In the faces of his own。 

     Sharing was beyond his skill�察�Shyly yet�察�he made essay�此�Sought to dip�察�

and   share�察  �and   fill   Heart's´desire�察  �from  day  to   day。  But   their   eyes�察  �some 

foreign way�察�Looked at him�察�and he was still。 

     Last�察�he reached his arms to sleep�察�Where the Vision waited�察�dim�察�Still 

beyond some deep´on´deep。 

    And the darkness folded him�察 �Eager heart and weary limb。 All day 

long�察�he kept the sheep。

                HARVEST´MOON�此�1914 



    OVER the twilight field�察�The overflowing field�察�Over the glimmering 

field�察�And bleeding furrows with their sodden yield Of sheaves that   still 

did writhe�察�After the scythe�察�The teeming field and darkly overstrewn With 

all the garnered fulness of that noon Two looked upon each other。 One 

was a Woman men called their mother�察�And one�察�the Harvest´Moon。 

    And one�察�the Harvest´Moon�察�Who stood�察�who gazed On those unquiet 

gleanings     where   they  bled�察  �Till  the  lone  Woman     said�此  �But   we  were 

crazed   。  。  。 We   should   laugh now  together�察 �I   and   you�察�We   two。 You�察 �for 

your dreaming it was worth A star's while to look on and light the Earth�察�

And I�察�forever telling to my mind�察�Glory it was�察�and gladness�察�to give birth 

To humankind� �Yes�察�I�察�that ever thought it not amiss To give the breath to 

men�察�For men to slay again�此�Lording it over anguish but to give My life 

that   men   might   live   For   this。 You   will   be   laughing   now�察  �remembering   I 

called you once Dead World�察�and barren thing�察�

    Yes�察�so we named   you then�察�You�察�far more wise Than to give life to 

men。; 

    Over the field�察�that there Gave back the skies A shattered upward stare 

〃From blank white eyes�察�Striving awhile�察�through many a bleeding dune 

Of   throbbing   clay�察  �but   dumb   and   quiet   soon�察  �She   looked�察  �and   went   her 

way The Harvest´Moon。

    ;HORSEMAN�察  �springing   from   the   dark�察  �Horseman�察  �flying   wild   and 

free�察�Tell me what shall be thy road Whither speedest far from me�拭─�
