    Again it comes�察�and oftener�察�Linked�察�as it now must be�察�With all the 

joy or sorrow That Life may bring to me。 

     So all the restyou know it�此�Now shut the clasp again�察�And put aside 

the record Of bygone hours of pain。 

     The dust shall gather on it�察�I will not read it more�此�Give me your hand´ 

´what was it We were talking of before�拭�

     I  know    not  whybut   tell  me  Of   something    gay  and   bright。  It  is 

strangemy heart is heavy�察�And my eyes are dim to´night。 



                                                                                  73

                      VERSE�此                  �A CHAIN 



     The   bond   that   links   our   souls   together�察  �Will   it   last   through   stormy 

weather�拭�Will it moulder and decay As the long hours pass away�拭�Will it 

stretch if Fate divide us�察�When dark and weary hours have tried us�拭�Oh�察�if 

it look too poor and slight Let us break the links to´night� �

     It   was not   forged by  mortal   hands�察 �Or   clasped   with golden   bars   and 

bands�察�Save thine and mine�察�no other eyes The slender link can recognise�此�

In the bright light it seems to fade ´ And it is hidden in the shade�察�While 

Heaven nor Earth have never heard�察�Or solemn vow�察�or plighted word。 

    Yet what no mortal hand could make�察�No mortal power can ever break�此�

What words or vows could never do�察�No words or vows can make untrue�察�

And if to other hearts unknown The dearer and the more our own�察�Because 

too sacred and divine For other eyes�察�save thine and mine。 

    And see�察�though slender�察�it is made Of Love and Trust�察�and can they 

fade�拭�While�察�if too slight it seem�察�to bear The breathings of the summer air�察�

We know that it could bear the weight Of a most heavy heart of late�察�And 

as each day and hour flew The stronger for its burthen grew。 

    And�察�too�察�we know and feel again It has been sanctified by pain�察�For 

what   God   deigns to   try  with   sorrow   He   means   not   to   decay  to´morrow�察�

But through that fiery trial last When earthly ties and bonds are past�察�What 

slighter things dare not endure Will make our Love more safe and pure。 

    Love shall be purified by Pain�察�And Pain be soothed by Love again�此�So 

let   us   now   take   heart   and   go   Cheerfully   on�察  �through   joy   and   woe�察  �No 

change the summer sun can bring�察�Or the inconstant skies of spring�察�Or the 

bleak winter's stormy weather�察�For we shall meet them�察�Love�察�together� �

             VERSE�此                  �THE PILGRIMS 



    The way is long and dreary�察�The path is bleak and bare�察�Our feet are 

worn and weary�察�But we will not despair。 More heavy was Thy burthen�察�

More   desolate   Thy   way�察   �   Oh   Lamb   of   God   who   takest   The   sin   of   the 

world away�察�Have mercy on us。 

    The snows lie thick around us In the dark and gloomy night�察�And the 

tempest wails above us�察�And the stars have hid their light�察�But blacker was 

the   darkness   Round   Calvary's   Cross   that   day�察   �   Oh   Lamb   of   God   who 

takest The sin of the world away�察�Have mercy on us。 

    Our hearts are faint with sorrow�察�Heavy and hard to bear�察�For we dread 

the bitter morrow�察�But we will not despair�此�Thou knowest all our anguish�察�

And Thou wilt bid it cease�察 � Oh Lamb of God who takest The sin of the 

world away�察�Give us Thy Peace� �

        VERSE�此                    �INCOMPLETENESS 



     Nothing   resting   in   its   own   completeness   Can   have   worth   or   beauty�此�

but alone Because it leads and tends to farther sweetness�察�Fuller�察�higher�察�

deeper than its own。 

     Spring's real glory dwells not in the meaning�察�Gracious though it be�察�of 

her blue hours�察�But is hidden in her tender leaning To the Summer's richer 

wealth of flowers。 

     Dawn is fair�察�because the mists fade slowly Into Day�察�which floods the 

world with light�察�Twilight's mystery is so sweet and holy Just because it 

ends in starry Night。 

     Childhood's smiles   unconscious   graces borrow  From  Strife�察 �that   in  a 

far´off future lies�察�And angel glances ��veiled now by Life's sorrow�� Draw 

our hearts to some beloved eyes。 

     Life   is   only   bright   when   it   proceedeth   Towards   a   truer�察  �deeper   Life 

above�察  �Human   Love   is   sweetest   when   it   leadeth   To   a   more   divine   and 

perfect Love。 

     Learn   the    mystery   of   Progression   duly�此   �Do   not   call   each  glorious 

change�察�Decay�察�But know we only hold our treasures truly�察�When it seems 

as if they passed away。 

     Nor  dare  to   blame   God's   gifts   for incompleteness�察  �In   that   want   their 

beauty lies�此    �they roll Towards some infinite depth of love and sweetness�察�

Bearing onward man's reluctant soul。

                               BREGENZ 



     Girt round with rugged mountains The fair Lake Constance lies�察�In her 

blue heart reflected Shine back the starry skies�察�And�察�watching each white 

cloudlet Float silently and slow�察�You think a piece of Heaven Lies on our 

earth below� �

    Midnight   is   there�此   �and   Silence�察  �Enthroned   in   Heaven�察  �looks   down 

Upon   her   own   calm   mirror�察  �Upon   a   sleeping   town�此  �For   Bregenz�察  �that 

quaint   city   Upon   the   Tyrol   shore�察  �Has   stood   above   Lake   Constance�察  �A 

thousand years and more。 

    Her battlements and towers�察�From off their rocky steep�察�Have cast their 

trembling shadow For ages on the deep�此�Mountain�察�and lake�察�and valley�察�A 

sacred    legend    know�察  �Of   how    the  town    was   saved�察  �one   night�察 �Three 

hundred years ago。 

    Far from her home and kindred�察�A Tyrol maid had fled�察�To serve in the 

Swiss   valleys�察�And   toil   for   daily   bread�察�And   every   year   that   fleeted   So 

silently and fast�察�Seemed to bear farther from her The memory of the Past。 

     She   served   kind�察  �gentle   masters�察  �Nor   asked   for   rest   or   change�察  �Her 

friends seemed no more new ones�察�Their speech seemed no more strange�察�

And when she led her cattle To pasture every day�察�She ceased to look and 

wonder On which side Bregenz lay。 

     She spoke no more of Bregenz�察�With longing and with tears�此�Her Tyrol 

home seemed faded In a deep mist of years�察�She heeded not the rumours 

Of Austrian war and strife�察�Each day she rose contented�察�To the calm toils 

of life。 

    Yet�察�when her master's children Would clustering round her stand�察�She 

sang them ancient ballads Of her own native land�察�And when at morn and 

evening She knelt before God's throne�察�The accents of her childhood Rose 

to her lips alone。 

    And   so   she   dwelt�此  �the   valley   More   peaceful   year   by   year�察  �When 

suddenly  strange   portents�察  �Of   some   great deed   seemed   near。 The   golden

corn was bending Upon its fragile stalk�察�While farmers�察�heedless of their 

fields�察�Paced up and down in talk。 

     The   men   seemed   stern   and   altered�察  �With   looks   cast   on   the   ground�察�

With anxious faces�察�one by one�察�The women gathered round�察�All talk of 

flax�察�or spinning�察�Or work�察�was put away�察�The very children seemed afraid 

To go alone to play。
