Before ye rise and blow。 

    O furry living things�察�adream On winter's drowsy breast�察。�How rest ye 

there�察�how softly�察�safely rest�。� Arise and follow where a gleam Of wizard 

gold unbinds the stream�察�And all the woodland windings seem With sweet 

expectance blest。 

    My birds�察�come back� �the hollow sky Is weary for your note。 ��Sweet´ 

throat�察  �come   back�   �O   liquid�察 �mellow   throat�。�  Ere   May's   soft  minions 

hereward   fly�察  �Shame   on   ye�察  �Laggards�察  �to   deny  The   brooding   breast�察  �the 

sun´bright eye�察�The tawny�察�shining coat� �

             SUNRISE ON MANSFIELD 

                              MOUNTAIN 



     O   SWIFT   forerunners�察  �rosy   with   the   race�   �Spirits   of   dawn�察  �divinely 

manifest   Behind   your   blushing   banners   in   the   sky�察  �Daring   invaders   of 

Night's tenting´ground�察�How do ye strain on forward´bending foot�察�Each 

to be first in heralding of joy� �

     With   silence   sandalled�察�so   they  weave   their   way�察�And   so   they  stand�察�

with   silence   panoplied�察  �Chanting�察  �through   mystic   symbollings   of   flame�察�

Their solemn invocation to the light。 

     O   changeless   guardians�   �0   ye   wizard   first�   �What   strenuous       philter 

feeds your potency。 That thus ye rest�察�in sweet wood´hardiness�察�Ready to 

learn of all and utter naught�拭�What breath may move ye�察�or what breeze 

invite To odorous hot lendings of the heart�拭�What wind´but all the winds 

are   yet   afar�察�And   e'en   the   little   tricksy   zephyr   sprites�察  �That   fleet   before 

them�察�like their elfin locks�察�Have lagged in sleep�察�nor stir nor waken yet To 

pluck the robe of patient majesty。 

     Too   still   for   dreaming�察  �too   divine   for   sleep�察  �So   range   the   firs�察  �the 

constant�察�fearless ones。 Warders of mountain secrets�察�there they wait�察�Each 

with   his   cloak   about   him�察  �breathless�察  �calm。   And   yet   expectant�察  �as   who 

knows the dawn�察�

     And all night thrills with   memory and   desire�察�Searching   in what   has 

been for what shall be�此�

     The marvel of the ne'er familiar day�察�Sacred investiture of life renewed�察�

The   chrism   of   dew�察    �the  coronal   of   flame。   Low    in  the   valley   lies  the 

conquered rout Of man's poor�察�trivial turmoil�察�lost and drowned Under the 

mist�察�in gleaming rivers rolled�察�Where oozy marsh contends with frothing 

main。 And   rounding   all�察  �springs   one   full�察  �ambient   arch�察  �One   great   good 

limpid worldso still�察�so still� �For no sound echoes from its crystal curve 

Save four clear notes�察�the song of that lone bird Who�察�brave but trembling�察�

tries   his   morning   hymn�察  �And   has   no   heart   to   finish�察  �for   the   awe   And 

wonder of this pearling globe of dawn。 

     Light�察�light eternal� �veiling´place of stars� �Light�察�the revealer of dread

beauty's face� �Weaving whereof the hills are lambent clad� �Mighty libation 

to the Unknown God� �Cup whereat pine´trees slake their giant thirst And

low above a black and rimy crag Hangs the old moon�察�thin as a battered 

shield�察�The holy�察�useless shield of long´past wars�察�Dinted and frosty�察�on the

of old where He should tread。 Through some sweet magic common in the

conquering   arms�察  �He   comes�   �He   comes�   �He   holds   His   spear   benignant�察�

sceptrewise�察�And strikes out flame from the adoring hills。

        BURNT ARE THE PETALS OF 

                                 LIFE 



    BURNT are the petals of life as a rose fallen and crumbled to dust。 

    Blackened the heart of the past is�察�ashes that must Forever be sifted�察�

more precious than sunbeams that open the budding to´morrow。 Once was 

a   passion   completed�察�too   perfect�察  �the   Gods   have   not   broken   to   borrow´ 

Blackened the heart of the past is�察 �ashes that  must Forever   be sifted。  O�察�

loving to´morrow The rose of the past is�察�Life´Eternity's dust。

           FOUR FOUNTAINS AFTER 

                           RESPIGHI 



    FRESH mists of Roman dawn�察�For water search the cattle�察�Faintlv on 

damp air sounds the shepherd's horn Above fountain Giulia's prattle。 

    Triton�察 �joyous   and  loud  Of  Naiads  summons     troops�察 �A   frenziedly 

leaping and mingling crowd�察�Dancing�察�pursuing groups。 

    At high noon the trumpets peal�察�Neptune's chariot passes by�察�Trains of 

sirens�察�tritons�察�Trevi's jets heat Then trumpets' echoes sigh。 

    Tolling bell and sunset�察�Twittering birds and calm�察�Medici's fountain�察�

shimmering net�察�Into the night brings balm。

                                 TROPICS 



    THE cretonne in your willow chair Shows through a zone of rosy air�察�

A tree of parrots�察�agate´eyed�察�With blue´green crests and plumes of pride 

And beaks most formidably curved。 I hear the river�察�silver´nerved�察�To their 

shrill protests make reply�察�And the palm forest stir and sigh。 

    Curious�察�the spell that colors cast�察�Binding the fancy coweb´fast�察�And 

you would smile if you could know I like your cretonne parrots so� �But I 

have seen them sail toward night Superbly homeward�察�the last light Lifting 

them like a   purple sea   Scorned   and made   use of arrogantly�察�And   I have 

heard    them   cry  aloud   〃From   out   a  tall  palm's  emerald   cloud�察  �And   I 

brought home a brilliant feather�察�Lost like a flake of sunset weather。 

    Here in the north the sea is white And mother´of´pearl in morning light�察�

Quite lovely�察�but   there is a   glare That daunts me。 Now   the willow   chair 

Suggests   a   more   perplexing   sea�察  �Till   my   heart   aches   with   memory And 

parrots    dye  the  air  around
