dare Look to a future of despair�察�Or even to the eternal skies�察�For I should 

still be lonely there。 

     All Truth�察  �all   Honour�察  �then   would   seem Vain   clouds�察  �which   the   first 

wind blew by�察�All Trust�察�a folly doomed to die�察�All Life�察�a useless empty 

dream�察�All Lovesince thine had faileda lie。 

     But see�察�thy tender smile has cast My fear away�此            �this thought of mine

Is   treason   to   my   Love   and   thine�察  �For   Love   is   Life�察  �and   Death   at   last

          VERSE�此                    �RECOLLECTIONS 



     As strangers�察�you and I are here�察�We both as aliens stand�察�Where once�察�

in years gone by�察�I dwelt No stranger in the land。 Then while you gaze on 

park and stream�察�Let me remain apart�察�And listen to the awakened sound 

Of voices in my heart。 

     Here�察�where upon the velvet lawn The cedar spreads its shade�察�And by 

the   flower´beds   all   around�察  �Bright   roses   bloom   and   fade�察  �Shrill   merry 

childish laughter rings�察�And baby voices sweet�察�And by me�察�on the path�察�I 

hear The tread of little feet。 

     Down the dark avenue of limes�察�Whose perfume loads the air�察�Whose 

boughs   are   rustling   overhead�察  。�For   the   west   wind   is   there�撮�   I   hear   the 

sound     of   earnest   talk�察  �Warnings     and    counsels    wise�察  �And    the   quick 

questioning that brought Such gentle calm replies。 

     Still the light bridge hangs o'er the lake�察�Where broad´leaved lilies lie�察�

And the cool water shows again The cloud that moves on high�察 � And one 

voice speaks�察�in tones I thought The past for ever kept�察�But now I know�察�

deep in my heart Its echoes only slept。 

     I hear�察�within the shady porch�察�Once more�察�the measured sound Of the 

old    ballads   that  were    read�察 �While    we    sat  listening   round�察   �The   starry 

passion´flower still Up the green trellice climbs�察�The tendrils waving seem 

to keep The cadence of the rhymes。 

     I might have striven�察�and striven in vain�察�Such visions to recall�察�Well 

known   and   yet   forgotten�察  �now   I   see�察  �I   hear�察  �them  all� �The   Present   pales 

before   the   Past�察  �Who   comes   with   angel   wings�察  �As   in   a   dream   I   stand�察�

amidst Strange yet familiar things� �

     Enough�察  �so   let   us   go�察  �mine   eyes Are   blinded   by  their   tears�察�A  voice 

speaks to my soul to´day Of long forgotten years。 And yet the vision in my 

heart�察  �In   a   few   hours   more�察  �Will   fade   into   the   silent   past�察  �Silently   as 

before。 



                                                                                         116

                     VERSE�此                   �ILLUSION 



     Where     the  golden    corn   is  bending�察  �And    the  singing    reapers   pass�察�

Where the chestnut woods are sending Leafy showers upon the grass�察�

     The    blue   river  onward    flowing    Mingles    with   its  noisy   strife�察 �The 

murmur of the flowers growing�察�And the hum of insect life。 

     I�察�from that rich plain was gazing Towards the snowy mountains high�察�

Who their gleaming peaks were raising Up against the purple sky。 

     And the glory of their shining�察�Bathed in clouds of rosy light�察�Set my 

weary spirit pining For a home so pure and bright� �

     So I left the plain�察�and weary�察�Fainting�察�yet with hope sustained�察�Toiled 

through pathways long and dreary Till the mountain top was gained。 

     Lo�   �the   height   that   I   had   taken�察  �As   so   shining   from   below�察  �Was   a 

desolate�察�forsaken Region of perpetual snow。 

     I am faint�察�my feet are bleeding�察�All my feeble strength is worn�察�In the 

plain no soul is heeding�察�I am here alone�察�forlorn。 

     Lights are shining�察�bells are tolling�察�In the busy vale below�察�Near me 

night's black clouds are rolling�察�Gathering o'er a waste of snow。 

     So I watch the river winding Through the misty fading plain�察�Bitter are 

the   tear´drops   blinding�察  �Bitter   useless   toil   and   pain   ´   Bitterest   of   all   the 

finding That my dream was false and vain� �



                                                                                       117

                       VERSE�此                   �A VISION 



     Gloomy   and   black   are   the   cypress   trees�察  �Drearily   waileth   the   chill 

night breeze。 The long grass waveth�察�the tombs are white�察�And the black 

clouds   flit   o'er   the   chill   moonlight。   Silent   is   all   save   the   dropping   rain�察�

When slowly there cometh a mourning train�察�The lone churchyard is dark 

and dim�察�And the mourners raise a funeral hymn�此�

     ;Open�察�dark grave�察�and take her�察�Though we have loved her so�察�Yet we 

must   now   forsake   her�察  �Love   will   no   more   awake   her�此  。�Oh�察  �bitter   woe�。� 

Open thine arms and take her To rest below� �

     ;Vain is our mournful weeping�察�Her gentle life is o'er�察�Only the worm 

is creeping�察�Where she will soon be sleeping�察�For evermore ´ Nor joy nor 

love is keeping For her in store� ─�

     Gloomy and black are the cypress trees�察�And drearily wave in the chill 

night   breeze。 The   dark   clouds   part   and   the   heavens   are   blue�察�Where   the 

trembling   stars   are   shining   through。   Slowly   across   the   gleaming   sky�察 �A 

crowd   of   white   angels   are   passing   by。   Like   a   fleet   of   swans   they   float 

along�察�Or the silver notes of a dying song。 Like a cloud of incense their 

pinions   rise�察  �Fading   away   up   the   purple   skies。   But   hush�   �for   the   silent 

glory is stirred�察�By a strain such as earth has never heard�此�

     ;Open�察  �oh   Heaven�   �we   bear   her�察  �This   gentle   maiden   mild�察  �Earth's 

griefs we gladly spare her�察�From earthly joys we tear her�察�Still undefiled�察�

And to thine arms we bear her�察�Thine own�察�thy child。 

     ;Open�察�oh Heaven� �no morrow Will see this joy o'ercast�察�No pain�察�no 

tears�察�no sorrow�察�Her gentle heart will borrow�察�Sad life is past�察�Shielded 

and safe from sorrow�察�At home at last。; 

     But the vision faded and all was still�察�On the purple valley and distant 

hill。 No sound was there save the wailing breeze�察�The rain�察�and the rustling 

cypress trees。 



                                                                                          118

    What is it you ask me�察�darling�拭�All my stories�察�child�察�you know�察�I have 

no strange dreams to tell you�察�Pictures I have none to show。 

     Tell   you   glorious   scenes   of   travel�拭  �Nay�察  �my   child�察  �that   cannot   be�察  �I 

have seen no foreign countries�察�Marvels none on land or sea。 

    Yet strange sights in truth I witness�察�And I gaze until I tire�察�Wondrous 

pictures�察�changing ever�察�As I look into the fire。 

     There�察�last night�察�I saw a cavern�察�Black as pitch�察�within it lay Coiled in 

many folds a dragon�察�Glaring as if turned at bay。 

    And a knight in dismal armour On a winged eagle came�察�To do battle 

with this dragon�察�And his crest was all of flame。 

    As I gazed the dragon faded�察�And�察�instead�察�sate Pluto crowned�察�By a 

lake of burning fire�察�Spirits dark were crouching round。 

     That was gone�察�and lo� �before me�察�A cathedral vast and grim�察�I could 

almost hear the organ Peal alone the arches dim。
