that track the gleam´ The fleecy marvel of the cloud is line On line the
wizard tracery of a dream。 O lad�察 �who buildest not of things that seem�察�
Beyond what bounds of visioning divine Came that far smile�察�from what
long´strayed sun´ beam Caught thou the radiance�察 �from what fostering
vine The power to build and mould the deep design�拭�
Knowest thou the secret that thy brush would tell�察�Is all the dream a
bubbled splendor white�察 �Beyond those castles cloud´bound�察 �does there
dwell The eternal silence of the darkor light�拭�Will thy hand hold the pen
which shall indict The symboled mystery´write the final knell Of rainbow
fancy´is the distant sight A nothingless encircled by a spell Of gleaming
bubbles wrought of beauty's shell�拭�
In vain to question�察�where the mystery Of Youth's short golden dream
is lord and king。 The eyes that farthest gaze in ecstasy�察�Were never meant
to paint the immortal thing They see�察�nor understand the joy they bring。
The misty baubles of the sky and sea Sail on。 Dream still�察 �bright´
visioned boy�察 �and fling The glittering mantle of thy thoughts that flee�察�
Weaving us evermore thy shining pageantry。

DRAGON

Some heard a lost bird riding out the night�察�Oho� �Oho� �Oho�察�ho�察�ho� �
But I saw�此�A low dark hill with its twisted back Two wings of flame
from the green cloud rack�察�A sprawling flank overlaid with leaf Glitter and
gleam and shine like steel�察�Crackle and lash like a serpent's tail� �
And I heard�此 �The wind draw out of the west and wail�察 �Dance and
stagger and jig and reel� �With the long low sound of a life in grief� �
I saw a life in grief Oho� �0ho� �Oho�察�ho�察�ho Dance and stagger and jig

SLEEPY HOLLOW�察�CONCORD
FOUR graves there are upon the wooded crest�察�Each one a shrine to
pilgrims ever dear。 Uncovered�察�mute�察�are those who tarry here。 Romance's
dreaming master lies at rest Beneath the cedars。 Near is one whose
breast Held Mother Nature's lore。 Beyond�察�the seer And sage。 There�察�
one who saw her duty clear�察�Her name by little men and women blessed。
Four friends who walked in Concord's pleasant ways Long years ago。
They dwelt and worked apart�察�But now the world has crowned them with
its bays�察�And holds them close forever to its heart。 O�察�sacred hill� �There
Genius�察�guarding stays�察�And from its slopes shall never Love depart� �

THE SWORD OF ARTHUR
A CASTLE stands in Yorkshire ��Oh�察�the hill is fair and green�。� And far
beneath it lies a cave No living man has seen。
It is the cave enchanted ��Oh�察�seek it ere ye die�。� And there King Arthur
and his knights In dreamless slumber lie。
One time a peasant found it ��Oh�察�the years have hurried well�。� It was
the day of fate for him�察�And this is what befell�此�
Upon a couch of crystal ��Oh�察�heart be pure and strong�。� He saw the
King�察�and�察�close beside�察�The armored knights athrong。
And all of them were sleeping ��Praise God�察 �who sendeth rest�。� The
sleep that comes when strife is done And ended every quest。
Beside the good King Arthur ��How high is your desire�殖� His sword
within its scabbard lay�察�The sword with blade of fire。
Now had the peasant known it ��Oh�察�if we all could know�。�
He should have drawn that wondrous blade Before he turned to go。
If but his hand had touched it ��The sword still lieth there�。� He would
have felt in every vein A lofty purpose thrill。 If but his hand had drawn it
��The sword still lieth there�。� A kingly way he would have walked�察�
Wherever he might fare。 But no�察�he fled affrighted ��Oh�察�pitiful the cost�。�
And then he knew�察�but lo� �the way Into the cave was lost。
He searched forever after ��All this was long ago�。� But nevermore that
crystal cave His eager eyes could know。
Pray God ye have the vision ��Oh�察�search in every land�。� To seize the
sword that Arthur bore When it lies at your hand。

THE DIVINE FOREST
IF there be leaves on the forest floor�察 �Dead leaves there are and
nothing more�察 �If trunks of trees seem sentinels�察 �For what their vigil no
man tells。 And if you clasp these guardian trees Nothing there is to hurt or
please�察 �Only the dead roof of the forest drops Gently down and never
stops And roofs you in and roofs you under�察 �Mute and away from life's
dim thunder�察�An
