       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
