I
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 toils of the journeying worlds�察 �Whose eye is filled with the
Image of God�察�And the end is Death� �

FRIMAIRE
DEAREST�察�we are like two flowers Blooming in the garden�察�A purple
aster flower and a red one Standing alone in a withered desolation。
The garden plants are shattered and seeded�察 �One brittle leaf scrapes
against another�察�Fiddling echoes of a rush of petals。 Now only you and I
nodding together。
Many were with us�察 �they have all faded。 Only we are purple and
crimson�察�Only we in the dew´clear mornings�察�Smarten into color as the sun
rises。
When I scarcely see you in the flat moonlight�察�And later when my cold
roots tighten�察�I am anxious for morning�察�I cannot rest in fear of what may
happen。
You or I´and I am a coward。 Surely frost should take the crimson。
Purple is a finer color�察�
Very splendid in isolation。
So we nod above the broken Stems of flowers almost rotted。 Many
mornings there cannot be now For us both。 Ah�察�Dear�察�I love you� �

PATTERNS
I WALK down the garden paths�察�And all the daffodils Are blowing�察�
and the bright blue squills。 I walk down the patterned garden paths In my
stiff�察�brocaded gown。 With my powdered hair and jewelled fan�察�I too am a
rare Pattern。 As I wander down The garden paths。
My dress is richly figured�察�And the train Makes a pink and silver stain
On the gravel�察�and the thrift Of the borders。 Just a plate of current fashion�察�
Tripping by in high´heeled�察 �ribboned shoes。 Not a softness anywhere
about me�察�Only a whale´bone and brocade。
And I sink on a seat in the shade Of a lime tree。 For my passion Wars
against the stiff brocade。 The daffodils and squills Flutter in the breeze As
they please。 And I weep�察�For the lime tree is in blossom And one small
flower has dropped upon my bosom。
And the splashing of waterdrops In the marble fountain Comes down
the garden paths。 The dripping never stops。 Underneath my stiffened gown
Is the softness of a woman bathing in a marble basin�察�A basin in the midst
of hedges grown So thick�察�she cannot see her lover hiding�察�But she guesses
he is near�察�And the sliding of the water Seems the stroking of a dear Hand
upon her。 What is Summer in a fine brocaded gown� �I should like to see it
lying in a heap upon the ground。 All the pink and silver crumpled up upon
the ground。
I would be the pink and silver as I ran along the paths�察�And he would
stumble after�察 �Bewildered by my laughter。 I should see the sun flashing
from his sword hilt and the buckles on his shoes。 I would choose To lead
him in a maze along the patterned paths�察�A bright and laughing maze for
my heavy´booted lover�察�Till he caught me in the shade�察�And the buttons of
his waistcoat bruised my body as he clasped me�察�Aching�察�melting�察�unafraid。
With the shadows of the leaves and the sundrops�察�And the plopping of the
waterdrops�察�All about us in the open afternoon´ I am very like to swoon
With the weight of this brocade�察�For the sun sifts through the shade。
Underneath the fallen blossom In my bosom�察�Is a letter I have hid。 It
was brought to me this morning by a rider from the Duke。 ;Madam�察�we
regret to inform you that Lord Hart´ well Died in action Thursday
