         VERSE�此                  �REST AT EVENING 



    When the weariness of Life is ended�察�And the task of our long day is 

done�察�And   the   props�察  �on   which   our   hearts   depended�察�All   have   failed   or 

broken�察�one by one�察�Evening and our Sorrow's shadow blended Telling us 

that peace is now begun。 

    How far back will seem the sun's first dawning�察�And those early mists 

so   cold   and   grey�   �Half   forgotten   even   the   toil   of  morning�察�And the   heat 

and burthen of the day�此�Flowers that we were tending�察�and weeds scorning�察�

All alike withered and cast away。 

    Vain will seem  the impatient heart�察 �which waited Toils that gathered 

but too quickly round�察�And the childish joy�察�so soon elated At the path we 

thought none else had found�察�And the foolish ardour�察�soon abated By the 

storm which cast us to the ground。 

    Vain those   pauses on   the   road�察  �each seeming As   our   final home   and 

resting´place�察�And the leaving them�察�while tears were streaming Of eternal 

sorrow down our face�察�And the hands we held�察�fond folly dreaming That 

no future could their touch efface。 

    All will then be faded�此� night will borrow Stars of light to crown our 

perfect   rest�察�And   the   dim   vague   memory   of   faint   sorrow   Just   remain   to 

show us all was best�察�Then melt into a divine to´morrow�此� Oh�察�how poor a 

day to be so blest� �

             VERSE�此                   �A RETROSPECT 



     From this fair point of present bliss�察�Where we together stand�察�Let me 

look   back   once   more�察  �and   trace   That   long   and   desert   land�察  �Wherein   till 

now was cast my lot�察�and I could live�察�and thou wert not。 

     Strange   that   my   heart   could   beat�察  �and   know Alternate   joy   and   pain�察�

That suns could roll from east to west�察�And clouds could pass in rain�察�And 

the slow hours without thee fleet�察�nor stay their noiseless silver feet。 

     What had I then�拭�a hope�察�that grew Each hour more bright and dear�察�

The   flush   upon   the   eastern   skies   That   showed   the   sun   was   near�此�   Now 

night has faded far away�察�my sun has risen�察�and it is day。 

     A  dim  Ideal of   tender grace   In   my  soul   reigned   supreme�察�Too   noble 

and too sweet I thought To live�察�save in a dream ´ Within thy heart to´day 

it lies�察�and looks on me from thy dear eyes。 

     Some   gentle   spiritLove   I   thought   ´   Built   many   a   shrine   of   pain�察�

Though each false Idol fell to dust�察�The worship was not vain�察�But a faint 

radiant shadow cast back from our Love upon the Past。 

     And Grief�察�too�察�held her vigil there�察�With unrelenting sway Breaking 

my cloudy visions down�察�Throwing my flowers away�此� I owe to her fond 

care alone that I may now be all thine own。 

     Fair Joy was thereher fluttering wings At times she strove to raise�察�

Watching   through   long   and   patient   nights�察  �Listening   long   eager   days�此  �I 

know now that her heart and mine were waiting�察�Love�察�to welcome thine。 

     Thus I can read thy name throughout�察�And�察�now her task is done�察�Can 

see that even that faded Past Was thine�察�beloved one�察�And so rejoice my 

Life may be all consecrated�察�dear�察�to thee。 



                                                                                        130

            VERSE�此                   �TRUE OR FALSE 



     So you think you love me�察�do you�拭�Well�察�it may be so�察�But there are 

many ways of loving I have learnt to know。 Many ways�察�and but one true 

way�察�Which is very rare�察�And the counterfeits look brightest�察�Though they 

will not wear。 

     Yet they ring�察�almost�察�quite truly�察�Last ��with care�� for long�察�But in time 

must   break�察  �may   shiver At   a   touch   of   wrong�此  �Having   seen   what   looked 

most    real  Crumble     into   dust�察 �Now    I  chose   that  test  and   trial  Should 

precede my trust。 

     I have seen a love demanding Time and hope and tears�察�Chaining all 

the past�察�exacting Bonds from future years�察�Mind and heart�察�and joy and 

sorrow�察�Claiming as its fee�此�That was Love of Self�察�and never�察�Never Love 

of me� �

     I have seen a love forgetting All above�察�beyond�察�Linking every dream 

and fancy In a sweeter bond�察�Counting every hour worthless�察�Which was 

cold or free�此� That�察�perhaps�察�wasLove of Pleasure�察�But not Love of me� �

     I have seen a love whose patience Never turned aside�察�Full of tender�察�

fond   devices�察  �Constant�察  �even   when   tried�察  �Smallest   boons   were   held   as 

victories�察�Drops that swelled the sea�此�That I think wasLove of Power�察�But 

not Love of me� �

     I have seen a love disdaining Ease and pride and fame�察�Burning even 

its   own   white   pinions   Just   to   feed   its   flame�察  �Reigning   thus�察  �supreme�察�

triumphant�察�By the soul's decree�察�That wasLove of Love�察�I fancy�察�But not 

Love of me� �

     I have heardor dreamt�察�it may be ´ What Love is when true�察�How to 

test and how to try it�察�Is the gift of few�此�These few say ��or did I dream it�殖� 

That true Love abides In these very things�察�but always Has a soul besides。 

     Lives among the false loves�察�knowing Just their peace and strife�此�Bears 

the self´same look�察�but always Has an inner life。 Only a true heart can find 

it�察�True   as   it is   true�察  �Only  eyes   as   clear   and   tender   Look   it   through   and 

through。 

     If   it   dies�察  �it   will   not   perish   By   Time's   slow   decay�察  �True   Love   only

comrade�察�Fateit can defy�察�Only by its own sword�察�sometimes Love can 

choose to die。 

    And its grave shall be more noble And more sacred still�察�Than a throne�察�

where one less worthy Reigns and rules at will。 Tell me then�察�do you dare 

offer This true Love to me�拭 � 。 。 Neither you nor I can answer�察�We will

           VERSE�此                   �GOLDEN WORDS 



     Some   words   are   played   on   golden   strings�察 �Which   I   so   highly   rate�察  �I 

cannot bear for meaner things Their sound to desecrate。 

     For every day they are not meet�察�Or for a careless tone�察�They are for 

rarest�察�and most sweet�察�And noblest use alone。 

     One word is POET�此        �which is flung So carelessly away�察�When such as 

you and I have sung�察�We hear it�察�day by day。 

     Men pay it for a tender phrase Set in a cadenced rhyme�此�I keep it as a 

crown of praise To crown the kings of time。

Expression in that golden word They tarnish while they speak。 

     Nay�察  �let   the   heart's   slow�察  �rare   decree�察  �That   word   in   reverence   keep 

Silence herself should only be More sacred and more deep。 

     FOR   EVER�此      �men   have   grown   at   length   To   use   that   word�察  �to   raise 

Some feeble protest into strength�察�Or turn some tender phrase。 

     It should be said in awe and fear By true heart and strong will�察�And 

burn more brightly year by year�察�A starry witness st
