tranquil    hillsides�察 �A   merry�察  �barefoot   crew�察  �Still  homeward      plod   with 

unfilled pails And mouths of berry blue。 

    And     all  the  birds   of  Garlingtown�察     �When    flocking    back   to  nest�察�

Remember   well   the   patches   Where   berries   are   the   best�察  �They   pick   the 

ripest ones at dawn And leave the lads the rest。 

    Upon the hills of Garlingtown When berry´time was o'er�察�I looked into 

the  sunset�察�And   saw   an   open   door�察�And   from   the   hills   of   Garlingtown   I 

went�察�and came no more。

                             NOCTURNE 



    NIGHT  of   infinite   power   and   infinite   silence   and   space�察   �From   you 

may mortals infer�察�if ever�察�the scope divine� �The jealous sun conceals all 

but his arrogant face�察�You bid the Milky Way and a million suns to shine。 

    Each star to numberless planets gives light and motion and heat�察�But 

you enmantle them all�察�the nearest and most remote�察�And the lustres of all 

the   suns   are   but   spangles   under   your   feet�察�   Mere   bubbles   and   beads   of 

noon�察�they circle and shine and float。

    I WALKED with poets in my youth�察�Because the world they drew Was 

beautiful and glorious Beyond the world I knew。 

    The poets are my comrades still�察�But dearer than in youth�察�For now I 

know that they alone Picture the world of truth。

              THERE WHERE THE SEA 



     THERE where the sea enwrapt A strip of land and wind´swept dune�察�

Where   nature   was   quiescent   in   the   glimmering        Noonday   sun   of   early 

June�察�The Placid sea lay shimmering In a mist of blue�察 �From which the 

sky   now   drew   Its   wealth   of   hue   and   colour�察  �One   heard   but   the   deep 

breathing   of   the   ocean�察  �As   it   breathed   along   the   shore   in   even   motion。 

Among the pines and listless of the scene�察�Atthis and Alcaeus lay�察�Within 

the heart of each a hunger For the unknown gift of life。 Here from day to 

day They met and dreamed away The soft unfloding days of spring�察�Now 

turning to the summer。 

     Aleaeus�此�

     I am faint with all the fire In my blood�察�And I would plunge into the 

quiet blue And lose all sense of time and you。 

     Atthis�此�

     I�察�too�察�would plunge And swim with you� �

     Doffing   her   robe�察  �the   maid   stood   in   her   beauty�察  �Calm   and   sure   and 

unafraid�察   �The    sinuous    splendour    of   her  limbs�察  �A   silent  symphony      of 

curving line�察�Which reached its final note In breast and rounded throat。 He 

had   not   known   that   flesh   could   be   so   fair�察  �Each   movement   which   she 

made   Wove   o'er   his   sense   a   deeper   spell�察  �Her   beauty   swept   him   like   a 

flame And caught him unaware。 She looked into his eyes�察�then dropping 

hers    Before    that   burning    gaze�察  �Softly    turned   and    crept   with   sunlit 

shoulders      Down     among     the  boulders�察   �To   the   sea。  Secure     within   its 

covering depth She called to him to follow。 She led him out along the tide�察�

With     swift  unerring    stroke�察  �Nor   paused    till  he  was   at  her  side。  With 

conquering arm He seized her and from her brow Tossed back the dripping 

locks�察�and sought her lips´ Her eyes closed�察�As all her body yielded to his 

kiss。   Then   home   he   bore   her   to   the   shore�察  �Within   his   heart   a   song   of 

triumph�察  �In    hers�察  �a   new´born   joy   of   womanhood。   So      spring   for  them 

passed on to summer。

                            MARRIAGE 



    YOU�察�who have given me your name�察�And with your laws have made 

me wife�察�To share your failures and your fame�察�Whose word has made me 

yours for life。 

    What proof have you that you hold me�拭�That in reality I'm one With 

you�察�through all eternity�拭�What proof when all is said and done�拭�

    In spite of all the laws you've made�察�I'm free。 I am no part of you。 But 

wait´the last word is not said�察�You're mine�察�for I'm myself and you。 

    All through my veins there flows your blood�察�In you there is no part of 

me。 By virtue of my motherhood Through me you live eternally。

                                         PITY 



    Oh do not Pity me because I gave My heart when lovely April with a 

gust�察�Swept down the singing lanes with a cool wave�察�And do not pity me 

because   I   thrust Aside   your   love   that   once   burned   as   a   flame。   I   was   as 

thirsty as a windy flower That bares its bosom to the summer shower And 

to the unremembered winds that came。 Pity me most for moments yet to 

be�察�In the far years�察�when some day I shall turn Toward this strong path up 

to our little door And find it barred to all my ecstasy。 No sound of your 

warm voice the winds have borne´ Only the crying sea upon the shore。

             A ROSE TO THE LIVING 



    A ROSE to the living is more Than sumptuous wreaths to the dead�察�In 

filling love's infinite store�察�A rose to the living is more�察�If graciously given 

before   The   hungering   spirit   is   fled�察�  A  rose   to   the   living   is   more   Than 

sumptuous wreaths to the dead。

                           THE STORM 



    SHE   reached   for   sunset   fires�察�And   lived   with   stars   and   the   sea�察  �The 

mountains for her temple�察�The storm for priest had she。 

    Together a libation They poured to the God she knew�察�Such wine as 

ageless heavens And lonely wisdom brew。 

    Now she has done with worship�察�For her all rites are the same�察�Yet the 

storm keeps green forever The moss upon her name。
