"AND QUARTUS, A BROTHER:' 
 
 You — that hate all housings which are homeless, that 
 desiring 
 
 Knowledge, not by knowing — through each effort freshly 
 labell'd 
 
 With a difference from your fellows — to be higher, 
 hoUer, cleaner, 
 
 But by all your kin to widen ; by each face unmask'd 
 enabled 
 
 Not to ape the angels but to love your brother, hiring 
 
 Habits from uncorner'd homes to chasten your de- 
 meanour ; 
 
 Duty from field udders draining to discern the man. 
 
 You — the bee the willow's first gold-aureoled bur en- 
 
 chaineth ; 
 You — whose wild veins to the first spring swallow's 
 
 screaming quiver ; 
 
 B 
 
2 "AND QUARTUS, A BROTHER." 
 
 You — that watch the wind-weigh'd ridges, oceati-opal'd, 
 
 ruff the meadow, 
 Piled at last with lustrous hemlock, break in may-foam 
 
 round the river ; 
 Hating aught that simple deed and simple song dis- 
 
 daineth ; 
 Loving all whose graces pay what heart alike and head 
 
 owe ; 
 Neither careless of God's order, curious for His plan. 
 
 You — whose eyes are ever level with your fellows', seeking, 
 
 straining 
 For a love-sign in the love world ; you — that cross the 
 
 crowded stoneway 
 With God's fire in secret flashes ; — " Were life other I had 
 
 loved you ; " 
 '•I am yours if you'll but ask me:" — yet demurely -go 
 
 your own way. 
 Doubting just yourself, and daring nothing, nothing 
 
 gaining— 
 From, perchance, past loves of ages— but a moment that 
 
 has moved you. 
 Feeling first heaven's breath, to shudder : fearing, was't, 
 
 earth's ban ? 
 
" AND QUARTUS, A BROTHER:' 3 
 
 By your loathing of the sin which sees its purpose I am 
 
 brother, 
 Sister, lover, passion-foster'd ; claiming neither wit nor 
 
 knowledge. 
 Wisdom, goodness, interest, ardour ; and my living but 
 
 a low ledge 
 On truth's cliff; but with a quittance your contemptuous 
 
 scoif to smother — 
 I am yours ! So set me never on a careless shelf ; 
 Hate or hold me ; here 's no parcel to be index'd at your 
 
 choosing, 
 Here no music, counsel, madness, anguish'd laughter, 
 
 careless musing, — 
 
 But myself. 
 
TO CELIA. 
 
 A SONG unto thee 
 That art hid by a bend of the hill, 
 Though the west wind wet us together ; 
 And the south creeps over to me 
 With the stealth of thy breath, to be still 
 As it sells its sweets to the heather. 
 
 A carol alone : 
 Till the world shall be weary of winter, 
 And all hearts laugh with the leaf, 
 And the poppy be bound in the sheaf. 
 And the teasel's hid wine-cups stint her. 
 And tears be thrust from a throne. 
 
 A carol aloud ; 
 Though only the moles should attend, 
 And the poplar fingers applaud me, 
 
TO CELIA. 
 
 And echo come from a cloud ; 
 
 Till, a stray crow's cawing defraud me, 
 
 And singing sigh to the end. 
 
 No scents from the field ! 
 For the hedgeways stink, where the nettles 
 Grow bitter, back'd by the dock, 
 And the first May rose is a mock, 
 For the town's smoke 's stale in its petals, 
 The town's filth festers its shield. 
 
 No sweets from the field ! 
 For the kingcup 's kill'd by the river. 
 The violet crush'd on the fell. 
 And the primrose dug from the deU 
 Where lonely the harebells shiver 
 With cowslips wrench'd firom the weald. 
 
 No song from the field ! 
 For the child's throat 's stupid with sobbing, 
 The stream too foul to confess 
 To its garrulous bed ; unthrobbing, 
 The still skies whiten, congeal'd 
 By the lark's scream, snar'd for a dress. 
 
TO CELIA. 
 
 So back from the field, 
 With the comment of God for a curse ; 
 For the waste of His gold has rusted 
 On the floor of heaven for a purse, 
 While, dim as the world moon-dusted, 
 His dress by its dross is seal'd. 
 
 At night from the hill : 
 When the stiff black ribs of the village 
 Stare under the froth of gold 
 That the main street spumes, and her bill 
 Seeks heaven's divorce from the tillage 
 Of honesty, glebeless, sold. 
 
 Where the blind stick raps 
 For a fresh world's hope ; — and averts 
 The franion's foot and her glances ; — 
 The live warp's shuttle that fraps 
 The world's feet fast in her dances, 
 And broiders its hope with hurts. 
 
 See the spire's vane twine 
 The love-star lost in the twist 
 Of a silver veil to the feather, 
 
TO CELIA. 
 
 Whose sequent face is the sign 
 
 Of the eddying windy mist 
 
 That below fears God — and the weather. 
 
 As in love's hair bound, 
 For the space of a smile, love's arrow 
 In his compass'd home that has crown'd 
 Love's monument o'er His feast 
 Who spoke God's share in the sparrow 
 But told no price for the priest. 
 
 Ah ! listen, the cries 
 And splutter of men, consider 
 How each in a stone-set ephod 
 His office bears to the skies : 
 Though, lit by the light that has hid her, 
 Stands, still as the Ghost of God, 
 
 And pale as the night, 
 The flame of His church by the mart 
 Where money grows by exchange. 
 And the doves strut by with a right 
 To barter themselves. Is it strange 
 If it seem too pale for a heart ? 
 
TO CELIA. 
 
 So, love, I have turn'd 
 From the painted broidure of God 
 To the mimic plan of His mind ; 
 And afHrm I equally find 
 The fugitive world of the sod, 
 And the sod's soul hatefully spurn'd. 
 
 If shepherds have call'd — 
 'Twas only the wolves to raise, 
 And the sheep lie out on the wold, 
 Hear far bells ring from the wall'd 
 Warm home, where, fenced, they appraise 
 The herdsman slain by the fold. 
 
 T'light, night on the hill ; 
 And the sour spent vapours of men 
 Hang over their be-ls, till awaking 
 (Ah, grief ! Could the sun but fill 
 A cloud with their quarrels and aching), 
 They choke once more in their pen. 
 
 Night ! Here I have held 
 God's hand and thine. If I thank you, 
 Believe no nettle has stung 
 
TO CELT A. 
 
 Your toss'd sweets sour, nor sigh 
 If fool-fast passion should prank you 
 111. (Ah ine ! I had sung 
 Not thus were the jest but bell'd, 
 Could laughter believe its lie.) 
 
SPRING THOUGHTS FROM SNOW- 
 LAND. 
 
 I. Shadow. 
 
 The song of the spring, 
 And the sighing aloft of the swallow 
 Dropping adown the dreamy air 
 To the drenched scents in the dozing glare, 
 And the hum of the bees in the hollow. 
 
 The wind of the spring 
 In the whispering wings of the willow, 
 Beating a golden froth with its flails, 
 The wild wet wantoning wind that wails 
 Sea-salt from the breast of the billow. 
 
SPRING THOUGHTS FROM SNOW-LAND. ii 
 
 The grace of the spring 
 
 In the cote, and the croft, and the covert ; 
 The elm-tree bound with a sheath of lamps, 
 And the cowslip call'd from the meadow damps ; 
 
 Roseleaf on the eyes of the lover. 
 
 O love, in the spring. 
 Ere the lark and the throstle be lazy, 
 Let us carol them out, forget to be coy 
 Till we choke the blossoming air with joy, 
 Though it die in the dell with the daisy. 
 
 Ah, child of the spring ! 
 
 In laughter, and labour, and sorrow, 
 Chaunting the clamour of chance. 
 Tears to be dried in the dance, 
 
 Magic to-day — and to-morrow ? 
 
 O leaf of the spring ! 
 
 A fairy's raft, a flake in a furrow, 
 Sermon-seal'd to flatter a fool, 
 A curdling blood-spot dropt in a pool. 
 
 Or a wall for the worm in his burrow. 
 
12 SPRING THOUGHTS FROM SNOW-LAND. 
 
 Love lost in the spring, 
 With the harebell's heart for a heaven ; 
 In a careless house with a cureless hurt, 
 And the windflower wrench'd from a frozen skirt, 
 And the daffodils dead at even. 
 
 II. Sun. 
 
 With sailing summer birds, 
 
 And swallows swinging ; 
 The blackcap's echo girds 
 
 The white wood ; stringing. 
 Amid soft horns, the clinging 
 
 Tree-cloister'd cuckoo thirds 
 On his sweet silver, winging 
 
 A song with words. 
 
 In saifron shadows dight, 
 
 Her wide eyes waking 
 White windflowers in her flight 
 
 The valleys flaking : 
 Grief lilies, which forsaking 
 
 Their moss-dells came at night 
 To deck her breasts, are breaking 
 
 With sunbeams pight. 
 
SPRING THOUGHTS FROM SNOW-LAND. 13 
 
 With shaking cowslip crown, 
 
 And tresses trailing, 
 O'er deep eyes, drooped down. 
 
 Long lashes veiling 
 Her cheeks, though sunny brown, 
 
 With passion paling. 
 O love ! so lost to own 
 
 Such jealous jailing. 
 
( H ) 
 
 " EXCESS?" 
 
 If at a sigh, I doubt — 
 Whether from penury or waste ? 
 The brief excess of loving, or the scout 
 Of cureless sorrow, cruddle-faced ? 
 
 Do I exceed in haste ? 
 
 If at a look, I bale 
 My tearful well, to wet the grove 
 Thy culling has commended, do I fail 
 
 In thrift ? or thoughtless, since it throve,— 
 Do I exceed in love ? 
 
 If at a doubt, I dare 
 To be an exile from my sense. 
 Thou canst not scold my folly whilst I wear 
 Thy livery, nor thy fees for fence 
 Do I exceed in pence. 
 
"EXCESS?" 15 
 
 If at a word, I string 
 Fresh follies for thy necklet beads, 
 They clasp thy throat more closely since I bring 
 Myself as pendant. Worn, it pleads — 
 Do / exceed in deeds ? 
 
 If at a blanch, I feign — 
 " The snow-chick pales for winter, wears, 
 Written on rosy armoury, her pain ; 
 
 My cold breath shudders in her ears : '' — . 
 Do I exceed in fears ? 
 
 If at a breath, I bate 
 (Taking thy lips for merchandise — 
 Thy straying lips) my bale, and at low rate 
 Mortgage my heart, in siich device — 
 Do I exceed in price ? 
 
 If at a desk I rhymed, 
 Patch'd thee with fancies, dost thou know 
 'Twas thee, not wealth nor honour here me limed 
 To scrape my heart in acids ? so — 
 Do I exceed in woe. 
 
i6 " £XC£SS f " 
 
 If at a frown, I fell 
 A debtor to my flat belief, 
 Though hope 's in heaven forgotten — and in hell, — 
 Yet, smarting 'gainst a change so brief, — 
 
 Did I exceed in grief? 
 
 If at a kiss, I hurl'd 
 The unseemly masks from boisterous youth, 
 And bray'd defiance at a feeding world ; 
 Wearing thy badges — not in ruth ; — 
 Did I exceed in truth ? 
 
 Ah ! but excess is bound 
 As title-page to lovers' lives ; 
 And bowers each "image'' of the "nymph " unwound 
 By witless wings from golden gyves, 
 Making of maidens — wives. 
 
SC/OJIAXCV. 
 
 Let Mm who can say — 
 
 " These three nights since she exchanged 
 
 Our hamlet's fold for the town ; 
 
 Through the shift of my dreams, 
 
 The mad bright travailing man, — 
 
 One wide hand in to-moirow, 
 
 A foot stfll dark with to-day, 
 
 ^Mio waies to work, when I sleep, 
 
 Frescoes dating the damp 
 
 Oozing plaster tlat holds 
 
 Only a steamy colour 
 
 Breathiog out in the sun. 
 
 Fretted wide by the wind ; — 
 
 These three nights he has given 
 
 The sweet swift daim of her head, 
 
 c 
 
SCIOMANCY. 
 
 The curious way she turns, 
 
 Spun round by a scorn-choked ' No,' 
 
 In a little arc of disdain, 
 
 As though impell'd to fulfil 
 
 The failure of speech with grace : '' 
 
 (Be it but once in a month, 
 
 Yet worth the waste of a month 
 
 To see it) : "The trick of her talk, 
 
 The clear bright words that divide 
 
 Her lips at once from the world's 
 
 Aimless abraded chatter ; 
 
 The little dell in her throat, 
 
 Where ever a south wind eddying 
 
 Keeps it cool as the moat 
 
 That guards a citadel wall ; 
 
 The quick shy questioning eyes 
 
 That droop with a maid's proud thrift 
 
 Of their mystical silent voice. 
 
 Yet speak and laugh for themselves ; 
 
 And about all her soul. 
 
 Not learn'd so deep to disdain 
 
 The quiet heaven that hides 
 
 The woodside well with a blush. 
 
 On the roadside bound by a rut : 
 
SCIOMANCY. 19 
 
 These all three nights in a dream," — 
 
 (Where men are measured by God 
 
 To themselves, and the gabled beams 
 
 Stretch afresh to the Spring), 
 
 " Three sad nights since she has gone, — 
 
 With the sun still lost in the crisp 
 
 Golden dust of her hair, 
 
 The soft clear wind of the fields 
 
 In her face : — she has stood, I have seen 
 
 The tremulous love in her eyes.'' 
 
 So, if he say it, and live. 
 He loves not better than I, 
 Yet may be more of a fool, 
 Must be less of a knave ; 
 So let him come, and tell — 
 Not with stupid affront 
 To hundreds as good as she, 
 Thousands better than he. 
 No mad mouthing of God, — 
 Simply this — that he loves : 
 (Which, be it true, then he 
 May love less for a month. 
 Must love more in a year) ; 
 
SCIOMANCY. 
 
 Loves too well to forego 
 One sad chance : If she hold 
 Another higher than him, 
 Grant him at least to plead, 
 With circumambient hint. 
 Her faith and favour to such. 
 If she refuse : — is it I ? 
 
( 21 ) 
 
 AN ASYMPTOTE TO LOVE. 
 
 There burns a flower by a streamlet's brow, 
 With bended head, below the broken ferns, 
 And every eddy's eye its smiles endow. 
 
 Yet if the merry waters toss their spray 
 To touch its lips, it laughing turns 
 To shake the kiss away. 
 
 There is a face that finds its portraiture, 
 Stone-stay'd and silent, in a mazed mind — 
 Where still the pebble sits in penury. 
 And sun-left pools surmise a fairy sky — 
 Hidden from dipping wings and changing wind ; 
 Enshrining heaven ; a lost Bute's tablature. 
 
AN ASYMPTOTE TO LOVE. 
 
 And yet I lack the waters' graceless grace 
 Which breaks the mirror, for I fear to find 
 It is the unwoo'd lips that leave her face 
 So passionless and kind. 
 
EXCHA XTMENTS. 
 
 Why waits the sun ? 
 l^et him be veiled as a vagrant nun : 
 
 How drags his stay ! 
 The Uttle clouds go, dropping down the pane 
 On the north wind, all the white day 
 
 Stoop on the plain, 
 
 O whispering night ] 
 Close close about me, let not chinked sprite 
 Chequer thy mists : 
 O quiet quelling night, let thy low wing 
 Brush the blind leaves, enshroud the lists, 
 All sUence bring. 
 
 O careless night, 
 Hood thy late birds, singing is shent with spite ; 
 
24 ENCHANTMENTS. 
 
 Dew drowse thy dogs ; 
 Sweeten the hog-bean in the kine-clipt fence ; 
 Breathe on the brooks and blabbing frogs 
 Sleep's pestilence. 
 
 Set out thy skirt 
 Upon the chattering grass, make "Good-nights'' curt; 
 
 Let loose thy locks 
 To choke the stars, fast close the cluttering fowl ; 
 Shake down the bittern, where he mocks 
 
 Stifle the owl. 
 
 O lazy night, 
 Go seek my love ; tell her the ways are dight 
 
 With sleepy flowers ; 
 The cowslip nods, the primrose just hath breath 
 To tell it sleeps, the daisy cowers : 
 
 O mime of death, 
 
 Be thick with dreams. 
 And daze our mumming manners ; rip the seams 
 
 That stitch stale signs 
 Across the stupid world ; give veils for vows, 
 Tripping for trammels, fees for fines, 
 
 Safe feet for sloughs. 
 
ENCHANTMENTS. 25 
 
 O masked night, 
 Go tell her fear is fickle, love is light : 
 
 Stop thou her wheel ; 
 Fright her in haste to come with careless dress, 
 Her eyes are all, and love doth steal 
 
 Most at a guess. 
 
 O bitter night. 
 Bringing sad drought for tears, sad thought for sight ; 
 
 Set close thy shears 
 To crop the termless tongue of memory, 
 Stir thy small whirlpool till all ears 
 
 Shut mindlessly. 
 
 O crazy night. 
 Treading stiff sleep, O naked nursing night. 
 
 Light thou her lamp ; 
 Set thy still fires along the river lane — 
 Thy starry worms ; brush back thy damp 
 
 And draggled train 
 
 To let her pass, 
 With dreadless foot, across the dewy grass ; 
 
 Upon the hedge. 
 Bid its pale fumes burn forth the folded may 
 
26 ENCHANTMENTS. 
 
 From silver cup, and let the sedge 
 Sing at her sta)'. 
 
 My love still waits ! 
 Dispart awhile my senses with thy gates ; 
 
 And bring her soon 
 To shut my sorrow where no dreams demur : 
 Stamp out my sighing, let me sleep or swoon- 
 
 And wake with her. 
 
( 27 ) 
 
 "SOUVENIR D'UN A3f/.' 
 
 So it goes by its garden name, 
 So he call'd it, show'd me its centre 
 
 Capp'd by the petals ; said the game 
 Of giving roses wanted a mentor. 
 
 Tapp'd the drops off, guess'd why it bent 
 Earthwards, always ; what was the moral ? 
 
 Or what its hooded heart might have meant 
 To a bee this morning ripe for a quarrel ? 
 
 So some lips : — and the deftest wind 
 That worried to wake a bud was useless 
 
 On this frail sweet, till it found a mind, 
 
 And fear'd the sun for its delicate hues less. 
 
28 " SOUVENIR nUN AMI:' 
 
 See ! a wasp-fly darts, — did it store 
 Jerks, intwisted by wings that fan them 
 
 Quiet ? An aphis, small, yet it bore 
 One quintillion of souls per annum. 
 
 Wise to be wide 2 Yes ! yet did I know 
 An old maid's manner was like the former ; 
 
 Turn quick ! A swallow had caught his toe 
 As he shot at a pet wasp under the dormer. 
 
 Fet ? It hived in his cupboard lock, 
 
 Pardon him ! — Look, 'twas a Pilgrim, footless ; 
 
 A fool on the ground, see ! So the mock 
 At such as mask with a martlet bootless ! 
 
 Air for the swift, swans for the sea, 
 
 Bunglers both on terra firma ; 
 Then he kiss'd its neck, and held it to me : — 
 
 For what 1 He laugh'd ! it was but a termer 
 
 In love's courts here, and under the eaves 
 God's brush to sweeten the air ; in a manner 
 
 The only visible soul ; its greaves 
 
 His sun and wind. He had kiss'd the banner 
 
" SOUVENIR D'UN AMI.'" 29 
 
 Of love — could I ? Then he flung it out, 
 And pick'd the rose ; — ^would I wear it flamant 
 
 With love's stain red at its throat, nor pout 
 
 If he call'd it now, " Souvenir d'un Amant " ? 
 
( 30 ) 
 
 DAY AND NIGHT. 
 
 No veil but vests her eyes 
 (As when the curl cloud spreads the sun's noon splendour 
 Through all his skies ;) 
 To fill her face, 
 And each sweet shadow lace, 
 Her heart behind, rose bright as its light's lender. 
 
 Her lids' close fringes hire 
 (As sudden round the snared moon rise to attend her 
 Heaven's hail of lire ;) 
 Each subject grace 
 Around their cloudy chase, 
 Light hid before, its night-lit lamp to tender. 
 
( 3' ) 
 
 A PROP FOR PEACE. 
 
 I SAID — " I will entreat 
 A tender tendril'd flower from one who sells 
 His tilling to the town, to dress 
 
 (Set here its feet) 
 My walls." And pity is't compels ? 
 His gift forgot my purse's emptiness. 
 
 For here no scents are sown ; 
 The s)in-dew withers folded o'er its flies ; 
 The cushat's murmur rocks the pine ; 
 
 And far the drone 
 Of great bees up the wood lane dies, 
 Low-stumbling homeward with the gorse-gold wine. 
 
32 A PROP FOR PEACE. 
 
 The brown cold stream forgets 
 Its merriment amid the red-stemm'd gloom ; 
 Nor whisper dares above its breath, 
 
 Nor pebble frets 
 Through miles of heath and yellow broom : 
 As one walks dumbly from the house of death. 
 
 Beside the black lake scream 
 Night herons ; and great owls, like silver veils, 
 Fan out to scare the sleepy birds ; 
 
 Or some ill dream. 
 Half roused, the shifting curlew wails. 
 And wakes again the plot's odious words. 
 
 Here drops the butterfly, 
 Cold-stiif, or daunted 'midst the dreary maze ; 
 And from the road-bank rabbits peer 
 
 To dart awry ; 
 Or hastily through the unsteady haze 
 The king-fly hurtles like a sapphire spear. 
 
 Here 'twas I plann'd to build 
 A cote of sweets about my door, and thought — 
 Some odour trickling past the trees, 
 
A PROP FOR PEACE. 33 
 
 Some flame to gild 
 This sunless gloom may find, unsought, 
 One lover ; and about me bring the bees ; 
 
 But one ! who hides his store. 
 Can daily chamber heaven in his warm hum, 
 Till his strange cells the hive shall stir 
 
 His paths to explore. 
 So, though as its stake the stem seemed dumb, 
 Shrined here, I set my love-craved comforter : 
 
 And after winter, came 
 Its buds to table ; sun-warm'd water bore 
 From the far common ; thickets wove 
 
 Eough winds to maim : 
 Yet none the less it wither'd more, 
 And shrivell'd from me in despite of love. 
 
 One morn I rose to break 
 My useless forts, to chase my cheer turned sour, 
 My hopes forget : — when lo ! a fair 
 
 Soft shamefast flake 
 Of lilac foam, the poor prop's flower. 
 Lay on the string course : and I kiss'd it there. 
 
 D 
 
34 A PROP FOR PEACE. 
 
 And now, its buds all cross'd 
 With the sad season's sign, each spring it brings 
 The flower-surpliced bees — and best — 
 
 The wood's long frost 
 Breaks with flutter of roosting wings. 
 And cloud-born children chatter on her breast.

 JUNE'S FIRST DA Y. 
 
 Lost ? Spring sings — " Winter 's past ; " 
 
 Sighs— " Winter waiteth." 
 May snows on age are coldest cast ; 
 
 Youth's brows, may-crown' d, 
 Do mock the reverenced wreath he hateth. 
 
 Spring but by blossom was 't ? 
 
 Ah me ! poor birds. 
 Ah me, poor heart that, hiveless, hast 
 
 Spring's breath first found 
 In the wild fragrance of his words. 
 
( 36 ) 
 
 VIRTUAL VELOCITIES. 
 
 That is the worst of it ! 
 
 Ah, the querulous world 
 
 But leaves my arm on your waist 
 
 So long as we both are giddy. 
 
 " But that 's to further the dance.'' 
 
 And this the dream. Did I know 
 The subtle virtue that dwells 
 In triple time and the scraping 
 Scaturient violins, 
 Did I know, could I extract it. 
 Dose the world with it — further 
 Strange, the prize is in neither ; 
 
VIRTUAL VELOCITIES. 37 
 
 (Listen ! now they are playing 
 
 This should be lawful, it is not) : 
 
 But in the rooms, in the hours, 
 
 Dresses, all the contrivance ; 
 
 Yet we must turn would we have it ; 
 
 Even that is not needed : 
 
 Move then ; that cannot hold it. 
 
 "If you dance you will need it, 
 Therefore the world doth allow it." 
 
 Nay, but I need it and dance not. 
 
 Since it rests with the piper — 
 
 Who may or may not be moral — 
 
 Hangs on a hole of his wind-pipes, 
 
 On my wish to be roasted 
 
 With over turning, my sound lungs, 
 
 On a chance of your shoe-strings — 
 
 Though you'd not ask me to tie them, — 
 
 Not a whit on my wishes, 
 
 Feelings, fancies, and so forth : 
 
 Is it by needs I am needy ? 
 
 Think if your dinner depended, 
 
 Not on the cook and the turnspit, 
 
VIRTUAL VELOCITIES. 
 
 But on your deigning to munch it 
 One leg lock'd in the window ! 
 
 " Nay, but the world has its logic." 
 
 So forth — Dancing is pleasant : 
 Pleasant things should be proper : 
 Ergo — Embrace when you're dancing. 
 So I — Dancing is proper : 
 Dancing goes by embracement : 
 Therefore — embracement is proper. 
 Which is best you can study. 
 Which is best ! But, believe me, 
 All is good that is honest : 
 Tie the devil and tame him — 
 Yes ; but don't let the children 
 Think you grind with a monkey. 
 All is good that is open : 
 The sun's worst 's browning your faces ? 
 True ! — but it pales your pranking. 
 So is preferr'd by our method 
 What we wear to our persons. 
 Till at last we are out-trick'd 
 By the divineness of custom. 
 
VIRTUAL VELOCITIES. 39 
 
 Stop ! I stoop to your shoe-string ; 
 
 Think it little if, kneeling, 
 
 I dare to kiss what you dance with : 
 
 While your chaperon shudders, 
 
 Rounds a lie to her neighbour. 
 
 Dares deface what we live by. 
 
 Such is the shift of morals ; 
 
 I?or your world gives me a sanction, 
 
 While I bow to its breathing. 
 
 Clasp your waist for a certain 
 
 Perfect fulfilment of method. 
 
 Drop my arm with the music ; 
 
 Or, given perpetual fiddling. 
 
 When the ideal condition 
 
 (Theirs, remember !) of motion 
 
 Ends. Yet I have sustain'd it 
 
 By repose, and a prudent 
 
 Piously framed adaption, 
 
 Affirmable a fortiori 
 
 Since it is based on a moral. 
 
 (Look, there straggles my partner.) 
 
 Nineteen ? What 's doing to dogma ! 
 
( 40 ) 
 
 WOUNDED, 
 
 O HASTY blood ! 
 To suck so soon from off the embitter'd wood 
 
 The poison of her sweetness. Lo ! I said — 
 'Tis a small wound, the knife shall pluck it out ; 
 Twas a chance arrow at a roving clout ; 
 
 Pain is less stiff about a fire-dipt head. 
 
 O drunkard blood ! 
 To drink so fast as not to taste thy food. 
 
 1^0 ! I surmised the poison must have stay'd 
 About its steel, and so cut out my heart 
 To be best rid of both : thus thy false part 
 
 Hath cost me what might else thy cleansing aid. 
 
WOUNDED. M 
 
 O baleful blood ! 
 Would I had broke the bolt ; yet, as I stood 
 
 (For so love's darts nor stint nor can increase), 
 I could not. Still, perchance, if it she find 
 Set in my heart, her pity may rebind 
 
 That in my breast ; and pen it there with peace.

 WALLFLOWER. 
 
 O LIGHT conceived flower, 
 How dost thou bray 
 From stony brick and mortar sour 
 The merry garland of thy pageantry ? 
 
 Whose roots array 
 Thy velvet brows with their humility, 
 
 Which to the dull wall showeth 
 How serviceable is his sombre suit 
 As the sweet vestment of thy modesty ; 
 Which, though so mute, 
 Scents about his silence soweth, 
 And doth in frankincense his field repay. 
 
 Since from the cloak 
 Of thy rough heritage thou hast been shaken, 
 
 And in her hair, 
 Whose loveliness love's services provoke. 
 
WALLFLOWER. 43 
 
 Art set ; though of thy season'd use forsaken, 
 Thou shalt find there, 
 
 Albeit of richness bom. 
 And oftentimes the childless child of scorn, 
 
 A bower where buds awaken 
 
 And with weak breasts outsigh 
 Their strength in scents, yet can nor breathe nor die 
 So wrapt in sweetness, but asleep do lie 
 As fainting lihes from their cool bed taken. 
 
 That languish not forlorn, 
 But in fair fingers furl with ecstasy. 
 
 Since tkou hast sown 
 This careless wanton where there wants no care, 
 
 Learn from that fair 
 How brows are noblest which demand no crown 
 
 To certify 
 A sceptre lies within the further room : 
 Learn from this maid — 
 That dresseth ever tidily 
 Yet seeks no groom. 
 And never mirror had, 
 (Unless, perchance, she see herself in heaven) ; 
 And though as priest array'd. 
 
44 WALLFLOWER. 
 
 And censer capp'd, a housewife's apron wears, 
 And burns but dust for incense j — how 'tis given 
 
 To each that bravely bears 
 Her root-built burden to be burdensome 
 
 For all love's dowers 
 At last to Heaven. Thou, wandering distrest, 
 Sighing for sweets in a wide balm of flowers, 
 Considering come, 
 Sick with thy frolic spent. 
 And this poor peasant like a pale moon prest 
 Within the cirrus of thy stormy hair, 
 
 To where, rebent 
 From thy rough seizure 'gainst the lonely wall. 
 
 The meek buds call 
 For eyes to heaven to see how best to mend 
 The desolation their faint pulses felt. 
 And each to other bend 
 To lock some belt 
 Of lustral blossom round their ravish'd brow : 
 Oh, come then, thou, 
 And let dumb night debar 
 The bleating servitors of thy pretence. 
 Set folly far, 
 And custom'd habit plough 
 
WALLFLOWER. 
 
 ^y'lthm that field of poppied indolence, 
 
 Whence thy real offspring leap 
 Too rank for reaping through grief's strenuous showers, 
 And surfeit sorrows mar 
 What penitential hours 
 Have sown ; 
 Ah, there, alone. 
 Learn thou that solace steep. 
 How sad hearts, driven 
 Out of all comfort, seek their empty star. 
 
 And to its bosom creep, 
 Set in the subject crevices of heaven.

FANCIES AFTER GRACE. 47 
 
 O be content

 From greedy venture, in love's muniment, 
 
 Where even loss is gain'd.

 A DOG FOR MANDRAKES. 
 
 Back, back, back, 
 With a proverb'd catch for a cure, 
 And the shadow again on the track 
 Of the stolen stupified hours, 
 When the bee was asleep in his bowers, 
 And the honey drain'd from the hive. 
 
 Causeless cunning and craft ; 
 With the careless chart of a child, 
 Our argosy bound to a raft, 
 A pith-clear'd stem for the foe, 
 And the snatch of a song for woe. 
 We are deep — in the ways of fools. 
 
A DOG FOR MANDRAKES. 49 
 
 Maiden, merry and meek, 
 With the prettiest lips to love, 
 We are witless as well as weak, 
 And there 's half a laugh in a tear. 
 But the sorriest freight is pride. 
 And the saddest at times, I fear. 
 
 Maiden — and now a bride ; 
 God send you be king and queen 
 Of the mouldering hates that ride 
 On the trailing garments of love, 
 Of the smouldering loves that abide. 
 As the flower-hid pod on the bean. 
 
 Witless and weak and proud, 
 For we keep our pigs in a sty, 
 And mutter our prayers aloud. 
 But take what comes with a sigh, 
 And a curse half choked in the throat ; 
 'T least so do the most — not I. 
 
 O careful mother, beware ! 
 For the man who dies is a lie, 
 And life is the blazon of youth. 
 
50 A DOG FOR MANDRAKES. 
 
 Strong life, God's gaze ; and a fool 
 Who jests — with a bag of truth — 
 Is lord of the worst he may wear. 
 (But we sneer at a sale to buy.) 
 
 Sweethearts are sudden and sour : 
 But the sanest solace will pass, 
 For the world is forged in an hour, 
 And half of our gauds are glass ; 
 But the heavens must harden as brass 
 Ere tears can fall in a shower. 
 
 Some say that you grudged 
 The pearly shrike on the thorn-tree ; 
 With his mimic trick you had smudged 
 A garrulous throat with prattle. 
 (The waif wand goes for the wattle, 
 But that 's no love that has trudged.) 
 
 Forgive ? At thy soft sweet lips 
 May the rosy chalice of love 
 Be drain'd, at the dregs may it burn not ; 
 Our loves are little, but prove 
 The scorner a fool if he spurn not 
 The red dark moon of eclipse. 
 
A DOG FOR MANDRAKES. 51 
 
 Our loves are little, but we 
 Are somehow less, and without them 
 Lack even the dainty dress 
 Of the laughing leaves if we doubt them ; 
 Though penury once could flout them — 
 The pollen sticks to the bee. 
 
 O sanefully stupid mother, 
 You would stuff your pillows with sand ; 
 There is God in the world — and another, 
 And either at your command 
 Some hours ; and then you may smother 
 Your tricks. Do you understand, 
 
 God in His world ? 'Tis sorry 
 We should pay our tithes into hell ; 
 The wild ass kicks, your worry 
 Was the fiend and the fool as well : 
 Poor mother ! And who can tell 
 The merry oak in a seed ? 
 
 Oh, but we number 
 Excellent days with a timepiece. 
 And the froward lump of excess 
 
A DOG FOR MANDRAKES. 
 
 Is happy harden'd with gall : — 
 Though the corndrake come to your call, 
 You may cart your leaven as lumber. 
 
 Sweetheart, endeavour 
 Is the care-bound kernel of life, 
 And bitters the lips, if ever 
 The spent teeth shatter the stone. 
 And dark ears bent to a moan 
 Are stung with the tally of strife. 
 
 Sweetheart, and never 
 My heart, for to-day you are wed. 
 What strange strings blaze in the web. 
 What quaint hands fall on the lever 
 That spins us on to the dead ! 
 How words burn once — and for ever ! 
 
 And you have been kiss'd — 
 How often ? The laurels, perhaps, 
 Moon-sick, wonder'd. I miss'd. 
 Thank heaven, the first bright bow ; 
 Bird-bound to plume for a mate ; 
 Some eyes suffice — do you know ? 
 
A DOG FOR MANDRAKES. 53 
 
 Is it bitter or sweet 
 That I wish you joy from my heart ? 
 I have pass'd from milk unto meat, 
 For your weaning brought me a tooth. 
 The sorb unsnared has its sooth, 
 But lime-touch'd berries are tart. 
 
 Some flowers are frail 
 With over living, their bells 
 One day drop and bury the bee. 
 So heavy we hang to joy that dwells 
 Behind the forgotten dust, nor see 
 The seed is seal'd if it fail. 
 
 Ah, love ! the waste 
 Of incense. How the censers burn 
 In the bright suns, the flowers that drench 
 With shaken spousals, ere they earn, 
 The world ; the fruits that quench 
 Only rash lips that dare to taste ! 
 
 The waste — love's way ; 
 For whispering kisses quicken 
 The smouldering stagnant sweets, 
 
54 A DOG FOR MANDRAKES. 
 
 And blushes bloom on the peach 
 When spring-stored winds into each 
 The scattered scents repay. 
 
 The horses' clatter, 
 And the dark bright sky on the road 
 In the watery ruts, by the black 
 Hedge-rows, and you a ghost) — 
 In the white thick breath you were lost, 
 And laugh'd and loved as we rode. 
 
 Purple and amber : 
 (Thank God for a joy — and lose it). 
 So close in the warm white mist, 
 (We are froward or fools as we choose it). 
 And a small stray hand that I kiss'd. 
 (No heaven, but men will abuse it, 
 And curse and call as they clamber.) 
 
 Swift through the pale sky 
 The heavy-wing'd bats were sweeping 
 As we raced along, and the hoofs 
 Struck the world from beneath us ; 
 The glittering road that, creeping, 
 Climb'd by the hill to the sky. 
 
A DOG FOR MANDRAKES. 
 
 The soft clear face, 
 As you bent forward and turn'd 
 With one low laugh, as we fled 
 From the wild joy racing behind 
 In the eddying curling wind 
 That snatch'd loose drifts from your hair. 
 
 A low deep laugh 
 That dropt out quite unaware. 
 With half a sob from your breast, 
 A sweet span out of the air 
 That heavy with ecstasy press'd 
 After, and circled us where 
 
 The grim dark gates 
 Of the park made us rein, and halt : 
 You held the bridle, your chin 
 Proudly fallen with faint 
 False breath and the thrill that awaits 
 Shade-dim for a touch to paint. 
 
 The avenue down by the lake : 
 One arm that had bound your waist 
 As you bent above me and kiss'd 
 
56 A DOG FOR MANDRAKES. 
 
 The madness out of my face 
 With sweetest daintiest grace, 
 That found excuse for its haste 
 In the thousand loves you had miss'd 
 Before it had cared to awake. 
 
 So sweet, so shy : — 
 But all the world is a whirl, 
 And only an eddying eye 
 With a wild froth rim for rest, 
 And a moss-marr'd stone for a zest : — 
 I once had given for a curl 
 
 That slept and sang 
 In the little maelstrom of gold 
 That snares the fisherman's boat 
 From the murmuring nets to float 
 In the giddy quiet that rang 
 His doom far down on the rocks : — 
 Had given — (and yet we are mould 
 
 To be dug, or clay 
 To be baked — as is best — for a brick, 
 
A DOG FOR MANDRAKES. 57 
 
 Or squeezed that a man may pray, 
 Be better'd perhaps). Do we pick 
 From the cupel, or her, worse pay 
 Who is queen by the gold of her locks. 
 
 Be wary of worth ; 
 For the moonlight 's not of the moon, 
 But only a smile of the earth 
 That lightens a face in the sky, 
 Which is dark again at her sigh. 
 And buried in blood by her swoon. 
 
 Yet pray for a need, 
 And clamber out to the brink 
 Of the meanest ledge for a view : 
 Be drunk, be dress' d — as you think — 
 With a hive to a brook for mead, 
 As a dog that rolls in the dew.

 A REVISED NEGATIVE. 
 
 Ah, this poor art, 
 
 Sweet heart ! 
 Our Hves are so encumber'd with derision, 
 So stabb'd with petty griefs, 
 Stretch'd out with stray beliefs. 
 Hangs now no part 
 But fears discision. 
 
 Chance swings us to 
 
 And fro ; 
 A hailstone's torment 'twixt its clouds of thunder : 
 Is't for earth's weal we range ? 
 Or, charged so wild with change, 
 Distracted sow 
 
 The skies with wonder ? 
 
A REVISED NEGATIVE. 59 
 
 Ah, this poor style, 
 
 Awhile 
 With feint knits warier web than hungry spider ; 
 Plays by the heart 'twould thrust, 
 Fears most from blood its rust ; 
 Sets with your smile 
 
 World troubles wider. 
 
 Those whom herbs feast 
 Can least 
 Be let affirm ; Sunbeams the flowers of boughs aie : 
 Yet so such swear as sneeze, 
 Snout trapp'd in sunny trees ; 
 For aught than beast 
 Annoys the browser. 
 
 Could this poor farce, 
 Alas! 
 This wordy calyx which thy wealth encloses, 
 Be poppy-cast, and shown 
 How thy pale brows alone 
 Do far outpass 
 
 The world's wild roses ; 
 
6o A REVISED NEGATIVE. 
 
 Some seeing heaven's bread 
 Might dread 
 Themselves so fill'd, but more heaven's brood would 
 scoff at, 
 Fill'd thus as they ; would call 
 Themselves, then nought, then all 
 Gods, and last spread 
 The toad as prophet. 
 
 Hence this poor art's 
 
 Way parts 
 Thy scarce-known self; hedging with rites, lustrations, 
 Souls which about thy feet 
 Feel, joy brimm'd, faintly beat 
 Thy far sweet heart's 
 Forgot vibrations.

 OR? 
 
 " Oh ! is it best 
 To be born on the hill, in the hollow ? 
 
 To be woo'd as a dove by the nest 
 Or to kiss in the air as the swallow ? 
 
 In fire to be drest 
 As the waste corn rose, or to gather 
 
 The rain's gold over a stone ? 
 Store sweets for a fool, or rather 
 Die last a drone ? 
 
 " For a turn of the glass 
 To curdle the heavens with singing. 
 
 Or chirrup a tale to the grass? 
 To sniff at the spear-storm's flinging. 
 
 Or eat with the ass ?

 Is the thistle's throat scaled for splendour ? 
 
 The thistle seed wing'd for a bird ?

 To follow the fierce sun's flouting, 
 
 Or the sweet shade stitch for a scent ? 
 Is the pansy express'd by pouting ? 
 
 Is the fruit but lent. 
 And the fruit-flower given ? And wherefore ? " 
 
 Dear heart, were the world but a word 
 'T would be lost on your hps ; and therefore 
 The rest is absurd.

 DISPOSAL. 
 
 A WATCHER once (I had aspired 
 
 To show why deeds the man excel) 
 
 Proposed to conjure, if desired, 
 
 Such sprites as might the mystery spell. 
 
 And then unfolded he with care 
 
 My motives all — a sickly sight ; 
 
 He laugh'd, and said 'twas well 'twas rare 
 They thus were treated to the light. 
 
 I thought so, thank'd him, and my meeds, 
 
 Refolded, set again in store, 
 To float some other dole of deeds. 
 
 Pious and useful as before. 
 
64 DISPOSAL. 
 
 Parting, I asked, how from our hand 
 
 Good deeds could come on such vile hope ; 
 
 The watcher made me understand 
 It was with angels they elope.

 MAVIS AND LAVROCK. 
 
 " The spring's breath sprang 
 From the choked earth up to the bare elm's throat, 
 As though among the bursting buds it pleaded 
 That from its joy the words joy needed 
 
 Out of life's forge should be smote. 
 
 Till each dumb bud, unbroke, 
 Sigh'd for a leafy tongue to clap at heaven. 
 
 And their hearts' husky cloak 
 Shook with a still-born song ; as, silence riven, 
 For the hand's torment wail in winds that wither 
 
 Wind harps unheeded ; — 
 So I sang." 
 
 The lark said, bent 
 To check his gulping throat against the ground, 
 
 " I sudden found 
 A voice above me crying, ' Come up hither,' — 
 So I went."

 LOVE AT SIGHT. 
 
 So you think it rash, 
 
 Youth astare ? 
 Sudden love is trash, 
 
 Bubbled air ? 
 
 Bargains, ere it buy, 
 
 Love, if true? 
 Silly pipit, I ; 
 
 She — cuckoo ? 
 
 Be it. But a fool 
 
 By his churn 
 Sends the world to school, 
 
 So you learn. 
 
LOVE AT SIGHT. 67 
 
 " What her bait ? " Betroth 
 
 Love and sense ! 
 Wine-fires flame in froth, 
 
 Fables fence 
 
 Wisdom's point. Concede 
 
 Powers to power ; 
 Sweets or dust that lead 
 
 Bee to flower ? 
 
 So work 's done. You stare — 
 
 What has she ? 
 Close-lipp'd flowers are bare, 
 
 Little bee. 
 
 Till you press them ; scent 
 
 Destitute 
 Till you kiss them ; pent 
 
 They are mute 
 
 Till you whisper. Sit ! 
 
 You shall see 
 Fools forsake their wit 
 
 To be free. 
 
68 LOVE AT SIGHT. 
 
 Not a secret sweet, 
 Not a care ; 
 
 Passion none to greet, 
 Not a prayer ; 
 
 Never dreamed smile 
 In her face ; 
 
 Gleam of honest guile — 
 Not a trace ; 
 
 Pleasures there outlaw 
 Beauty's taint ; 
 
 Priceless by its flaw, 
 'Tis a feint 
 
 To beguile astray 
 Through a maze 
 
 Eyes her heart might slay 
 By its blaze. 
 
 Nothing wise to wield, 
 Nothing rare ; 
 
 Gold she has — but seal'd 
 In her hair. 
 
LOVE AT SIGHT. 69 
 
 Nought her mouth to miss, 
 
 For threads spun 
 There to trap a kiss 
 
 Ask but one. 
 
 Never promised feet 
 
 Less, or more 
 Servitude complete 
 
 Ever swore. 
 
 Eyes so subtly frank'd 
 
 Never spoke, 
 Yet their own lids thank'd 
 
 That they woke. 
 
 " Still you love her ! " Why ? 
 
 She has heard 
 Ere my lips can try 
 
 At a word. 
 
 Of all flowers defied 
 
 She alone 
 To my first look cried — 
 
 " I have known ! "

 RUST OF GOLD. 
 
 Oh, look no more ! I left 
 A quiet sanctuary for thy breast, 
 Fair kindred riches garner'd in a cleft 
 The world trips over ; taking sweets for rest 
 
 Am now of all bereft. 
 
 Oh, laugh no more ! I heard 
 Far tales of silence shapen by the wind ; 
 Content contain'd me, while its cest conferr'd 
 Childright on things to be of open mind ; 
 
 Now — never sings a bird. 
 
 Oh, speak no more ! I found 
 Wide margins in my living to annote. 
 Strange words to table, errors to abound, 
 Still hymns that took their shriving at my rote,- 
 
 Thou dost its strings confound. 
 
RUST OF GOLD. 71 
 
 Oh, sigh no more ! I spent 
 Treasures on trouble, graces to attest 
 The frozen error of accomplishment 
 In a too weak design ; I am confest 
 
 In that I dared content 
 
 Oh, sing no more ! I lie — 
 A drift boat torn from sleepy harbouring ; 
 Lost bar beats dull mine ears, sea crows deny 
 Me loneliness : through hollow surges swing 
 
 Long echoes endlessly. 
 
 Oh, claim no more ! I slipt 
 More than I valued ; is it just to ask 
 Thy harm from me whose shrine-pluckt gold outdipp'd 
 Thy glave's sweet insolence ? Fret not to task 
 
 Thy taste where fools have sipp'd. 
 
 Oh, think no more ! Base thoughts 
 Do rob the world of its community ; 
 If thou hast better — be them : all the droughts 
 Of fortune have a fashion'd sanctity ; 
 
 Preserve it in her courts. 
 
72 RUST OF GOLD. 
 
 Oh, steal no more ! Disguise 
 Never trick'd true maid : sample-school thy sense 
 To mete thy sober lips ; light-latched eyes 
 Do lack the worth of open violence, — 
 
 Loss-lazy, scathe surprise. 
 
 Oh, scoff no more ! Contempt 
 Fathers no good, and is the stock of fools : 
 Manners are by persuasion rudely kempt ; 
 Should rule, yet may be ruled : think not stools 
 
 Are from hid roots exempt. 
 
 Oh, scorn no more ! Rough use 
 
 Scrapes in the gutter ; be a colander 
 
 To thy best actions, season thine abuse 
 
 With what thou find'st there : learn the fruit's transfer- 
 Sweeten with suns thy juice. 
 
 Oh, gaze no more ! I pass'd 
 Thy pole with palsied palpitant return 
 As the poised magnet, though thou didst contrast 
 Thy power with distance : there are stays as stern. 
 
 Claim not a realm too vast. 
 
RUST OF GOLD. 73 
 
 Prove me no more ! I come 
 Upon a kneeling sad audaciousness ; 
 I sheaPd thy smiles, oh, bring my harvest home, 
 And stack my service in thy breast, to dress 
 
 With sunbeams for a comb.

 ON A DEAD FIELD MOUSE. 
 
 FOR A CHILD. 
 
 Crept away, 
 Out of the strength of the day, 
 Back from the eyes of his friends, 
 Into God's gloom, for He lends 
 The shady docks for a cloak 
 To the weary pastureless eyes, 
 Lidded at last with a tear, 
 
 Of His fainting field folk. 
 
 Into God's gloom, and, perhaps, 
 Into His light, who knows — 
 Wide as the wise world goes, 
 
ON A DEAD FIELD MOUSE. 75 
 
 Fearing not to be shod — 
 
 If that a mousie's heaven 
 
 Be not the end of his woes 
 
 In a glance from the Eyes of God ?

 HYSTRIX VIATOR. 
 
 To every singer a seat ? It is nothing to me, 
 
 That have lived so long with the foxes, what you may 
 offer; 
 You may take my crook for a crosier, croft for a see ; 
 Though the rabbit burrows are warm, your ferret 's a 
 scoffer 
 
 At vested rights, and derides primo-genitura : 
 
 I have but sung for the song ; you may start a pension 
 
 For_ spade-cut worms, though I'd swear, were I one, it 
 were surer 
 Policy never to dig, though penury come of abstention. 
 
 Find if what you can give be worthy the halving. 
 Or if the world deserve a table of shewbread, 
 
 Then let us feast — for know, to men who are starving. 
 Half of your tiny loaf 's not better than no bread. 
 
HYSTRIX VIATOR. 77 
 
 But to be frank, I'll own, I've envied the painter 
 Just one portrait — of you ; he'll stare at the stricture 
 
 Likely enough, and the reason to you may be quainter — 
 This, that he 's able to say : " She sat for her picture." 
 
 Not that I envy him you, but the quiet : where I have 
 stumbled, 
 Thank'd rough ways they were slow, he stood on a 
 dais : 
 Watch'd you walk in the marble, where I have fumbled 
 To stay your steps by a pool. Oh, grant that the 
 pay is 
 
 Poor for the poet, though he can paint on a second. 
 If he must do so ever : reflect that his colour 
 
 Kindles but once; that, once though his mistress beckon'd, 
 Never she sings from his walls. Believe it is duller 
 
 Sitting here with a ghost ; and it might be fitter 
 
 If you sat to the poet and stood for the draughtsman ; 
 
 If he is worth his wage how wants he a sitter : 
 
 Set us alone, and come to the cunninger craftsman. 
 
78 HYSTRIX VIATOR. 
 
 Let him alone ; so just may his banishment be 
 If he paint you ill, beneath your brows let him try 
 
 The tide-turn'd eddies that eye a ruffled sea 
 
 With restlessly islanded tear-dropt pools of the sky. 
 
 Yet he can paint a sigh, a sigh that was stifled 
 Two years back, and all the world can applaud it : 
 
 Ay ! but, if he be true, the lie that has trifled 
 Half life hopeless equally goes to the audit. 
 
 Other with us ; and the price kept back is to purchase 
 Sight for a fool : though paltry vices are flitting, 
 
 Virtues stick to the coat as seeds in a bur chase ; 
 Would you be painted whole? — then grant me a sitting. 
 
 What do you think he'd paint from my memoranda ; 
 
 Some half hour in a week, and dear with its duty — 
 All a village of eyes ? Be kind in your candour — 
 
 How does he pay a preventive charge on your beauty ? 
 
 So be just to us both, and dare me to barter 
 This thin inch of a hill for brushes and palette : 
 
 What if I ask'd for a red kiss'd seal to the charter ; 
 Could jctfz< retort I had crush'd love's rue with a mallet ? 
 
HYSTRIX VIATOR. yg 
 
 So, as I said, I care not now to be seated ; 
 
 Give me the open road, and step it beside me : 
 Half of our life is a laugh that is half completed, 
 
 Half sigh'd out for a sob. But the moles deride me ; 
 
 Yet, being mope-eyed, doubt me not but I'll king it 
 Over them yet, and into them sense with a blow dent ; 
 
 Colony omnivorous, any corpse you may fling it 
 
 Quick disappears. Don't say I'm wrath with a rodent. 
 
( 8o ) 
 
 ER YTHEIA. 
 
 Though here I own 
 A thousand servants — yet myself do greet thee ; 
 A thousand tongues — yet doth but one entreat thee ; 
 Nor can the ever-climbing world o'er-seat thee — 
 
 With thy behaviour for a throne. 
 
 Though thou didst own 
 A thousand pilfer'd hearts thou couldst not sway them 
 With one cold breath, nor with one fear wouldst fray 
 
 them : 
 All graces scorning thou dost best obey them — 
 Taking their shoulders for a throne. 
 
( 8i ) 
 
 WATER COLOUR. 
 
 As when the sea, 
 Lying asleep, doth all the great sun mesh — 
 So is her face ; and as the wind may thresh 
 Him to a thousand stars, to set the zest 
 Of heaven upon each light wave's lifting breast, 
 And with sweet innocence of conscious guile 
 Give each a thought co-equal with the sky — 
 
 So doth her smile, 
 By merismatic thrift, a past deny ; 
 Yet more by change affirms its constancy. 
 
 As when the lake 
 Doubles the eve-dimm'd mask of margin towers 
 By their own semblance in her face, unchidden 
 E'en at the shore, by any silver flake ; 
 
 G 
 
82 WATER COLOUR. 
 
 Set in wild glory by the west hills hidden, 
 And in fair beauties drest by their fresh bowers — 
 So is her speech : and as the wind may drift 
 A sudden sombre fancy through the spires 
 Built by its silence, and in purple rift 
 Sow the still east among the western fires, 
 Wetting each wavelet with a double face, — 
 
 So her laugh hires 
 Both day and night, to break with pregnant grace 
 Her tongue's pretence ; yet makes such rifts the wires 
 That sing her faith in sounder masonry.

 ENDOR. 
 
 " Blow ! my beloved, 
 Blow on my garden, 
 Blow out its spices." 
 
 My love is a garden, 
 A garden of spices 
 Wall'd in the wilderness. 
 I am the north wind. 
 With wings sand heavy, 
 Dry fire of frenzy 
 Wreathed for my hair-bands ; 
 My feet behind me. 
 
 My love is enclosed : 
 Her cheeks as apples, 
 Her breath as melilot 
 
84 EN DOR. 
 
 Moor'd by the waste wall, 
 Her breasts as beacons, 
 Her eyes as the lotus. 
 I am the desert wind 
 Under her grape hung 
 Shelterings shardborne ; 
 With fierce wings flatten'd 
 Over the sand-storm. 
 
 O my espoused, 
 Breathe in thy garden, 
 Thy well-fiU'd garden. 
 Thy garden of spices : 
 Breathe till its lilies 
 Are lost in sweetness, 
 Till the pomegranates 
 Over the wall edge 
 Droop with thy savours : 
 Breathe till its spices 
 Flow out upon me. 
 
( 85 ) 
 
 GROPE RS. 
 
 O LISTEN, and leave 
 Their careful amiable craft, 
 (For we spin asleep on a needle, 
 And hum in the jostling airs 
 A song that has slept in the sleave) ; 
 What hale have they by the haft, 
 That now they have fail'd to wheedle 
 
 Roar all like bears ? 
 
 O listen, and leave 
 The wallet behind, let it plead, 
 Which, all too rich to be ask'd thee, 
 (Need-heavy we stint our loves) 
 Lacks worth as thine till I thieve : 
 Shall we, when they with a weed 
 Have mew'd thy love and have mask'd thee, 
 
 Mourn sore like doves ? 
 
( 86 ) 
 
 RED HONEY. 
 
 There is a well of love ! 
 Wherein a man may root his favourite flower, 
 Thinking that there it must receive more dower 
 
 Than from still dews above. 
 
 (I once in such a well 
 Dropt a small seed which hath my fountain slain, 
 Torn down its stones, out-choked my garden's gain : 
 
 Left me nor dress nor dell.) 
 
 There is a tide in love ! 
 Fining wide docks to float close argosies 
 When far the flat beach creeps above the seas. 
 
 And thin the shore waves rove. 
 
RED HONEY. 87 
 
 (I once from one warm tide 
 Stay'd a small pool ; yet, past the late sun creeping, 
 Found it stone-chill'd, wind-bitter ; so that, weeping, 
 
 I had lain there, and died.) 
 
 Yet think of love no wrong ! 
 It doth great ventures float, dry deserts slake, 
 Hideth hell's roots, will tearful troubles rake 
 Into one icy pool ; yet bear its ache — 
 
 For death is not more strong. 
 
A SONG OF SPITE. 
 
 Curse on their tricks 
 Tliat neither yearn nor learn, 
 And chase cheap quiet from the world with sticks ; 
 Taking for grapes their gall. 
 Curse on them all ! 
 
 Curse on each maid 
 That doth contrive to hive 
 The world's sweet baits for honey ; fancy fray'd, 
 Thinking such staleness small. 
 Curse on them all ! 
 
 Curse on each heart 
 Aught of whose beats repeats, 
 Forelent by fashion ; or is let as mart 
 Where painted patchocks brawl, 
 
 Curse on them all ! 
 
A SONG OF SPITE. 89 
 
 Curse on each face 
 That will not brook a look ; 
 And is disdainful to the soiled grace 
 God binds on some that crawl. 
 
 Curse on them all ! 
 
 Curse on each feint 
 That fears to task its mask 
 By honest feeling ; is content — constraint 
 ■\Vill earn the seventh year's awl. 
 
 Curse on them all ! 
 
 Curse on each fool 
 AVho thinks all wine divine 
 That 's kneeling drunk ; yet blinks the chaliced pool 
 AVhere all the heaven 's at call. 
 
 Curse on them all ! 
 
 Curse on each dame 
 That, hiding loss by dross, 
 Sets shields with stony eyes of burnish'd shame : 
 Making sweet peace a pall. 
 Curse on them all ! 
 
go A SONG OF SPITE. 
 
 Curse on such eyes 
 As do propose a rose 
 To their slow cheeks, and duplicate surprise 
 To suit this slavish ball. 
 Curse on them all ! 
 
 Curse on such lips 
 As love aware to snare : 
 Surround weak vows and vacant fellowships ; 
 Yet at love's surfeits bawl. 
 Curse on them all ! 
 
 Curse on such tears 
 As do traduce the use 
 And worth of grief; making their sorrows shears 
 To trim a slothful wall. 
 
 Curse orj them all ! 
 
 Curse on disguise : 
 All masquerade that 's paid 
 By the world's farthing, not at the still skies ; 
 Flaunting a fatuous fall. 
 Curse on it all ! 
 
A SONG OF SPITE. 91 
 
 Curse on night birds 
 That, swearing light 's a spite, 
 No real thing — to their blind eyes with beak'd words 
 Tie all the world in thrall. 
 
 Curse on them all ! 
 
 Curse on such love 
 As doth not blind the mind, 
 Rough-riot with its reins, rave in its grove, 
 Feast fancies in its hall. 
 
 Curse on it all ! 
 
 My curse on thee 
 Whose shifting fires conspire 
 To make my living so accursed be — 
 (Sighs are too swift to scrawl, 
 I curse them all).

 FRAG I LIS FRAG ARIA VESCA. 
 
 Upon my bed 
 The sky look'd down, where fools had overrun ; 
 
 And to me said, 
 
 " There comes the sun 
 To seek for fruits ; how will he find all fled ? " 
 
 Upon my breast 
 The sun look'd down, fruit-bare from April's gust ; 
 
 To find my best 
 
 Outspilt in dust 
 Whereon men's feet had gone ; all pluckt the rest. 
 
 Upon my heart 
 His heart look'd down ; and found one faltering flake 
 
 Left in love's mart ; 
 
 And for its sake 
 Stay'd ; till his solace, stol'n about my smart. 
 
FRAGILIS FRAGARIA VESCA. 93 
 
 Upon my breast 
 Laid the late fruit ; yet came he not to taste, 
 
 But from his west 
 
 Said, " Store thy waste, 
 Life's gold is good." But I thought his the best. 
 
( 94 ) 
 
 SEA SOLACE. 
 
 Even so, old Sea ! 
 Though it be but a lip's length nearer held to thy love, 
 And so thou hast shaken thy bed a thousand times ; 
 Shaken, and struggled, and shrunken, and she has 
 pass'd on. 
 
 Yet they tell me, Sea, 
 You and she will pass together, your faces, 
 One long honeymoon, smiling each, till the ages 
 Dry you oif from the shrivelled face of the world. 
 
 So, with hope, O Sea ; 
 Since I have shifted and wash'd a stony pillow, 
 O'er-strode my weary seas, myself to attend her ; 
 Some far month we may pass and promise, together. 
 
( 95 ) 
 
 REMINISCENCES. 
 
 This— all that I remember of the maid. 
 Red lips that had surrender'd back their bliss 
 And did refer your question to her eyes, 
 Which wonder'd at your waiting— where surprise 
 And pity quarrell'd — wonder'd, yet forbade 
 A kiss. 
 
 This also — wellaway ! nought worthier left. 
 How having waited, feigning to assess 
 My folly by their beauty, till they fell : — 
 The porter deaf, I dared to scorn the bell. 
 Her answer after insult of such theft 
 Was — yes ! 
 
( 96 ) 
 
 THE FIRST FOOLING. 
 
 " Forbear ! forbear ! 
 Thy service 'tis she claims — not thee ; 
 
 Priests are but dear 
 To witness her divinity. 
 Are you content, contentedly 
 
 " To twist the night 
 Tail-hung about thy polar star 
 
 In dumb delight ; 
 Thy foot-free brother mild to mar, 
 The curling curious dragon far ? 
 
 " To tell the hours 
 Counted in shadow by her smile, 
 
 And let the showers 
 Her blushes from the seas beguile 
 Wash wantonly the shadeless dial ? 
 
THE FIRST FOOLING. 97 
 
 " To be the share 
 So often changed to suit her breast, 
 
 And waste with wear 
 In wet-held furrows, though thy zest 
 Of stony labour gapes unblest ? 
 
 " The pinched flower 
 Which waits upon the bee for bliss, 
 
 And yields its bower. 
 By such sweet force constrain'd, to miss 
 The honey cloistress in her kiss ? 
 
 " The bird that seeks 
 His dryad prison'd in the tree, 
 
 Whose bill bespeaks 
 His crazy laughter — •' Seemlessly 
 Wanders rash love with constancy ? ' " 
 
 Yea all ! and more : 
 Such entertainment hold her eyes. 
 
 Such seal of store ; 
 Prevision struggling with surprise, 
 
 H 
 
THE FIRST FOOLING. 
 
 And love with lore 
 Of maiden fancies rough in guise 
 Of crystal surety, lost — as lies 
 
 The gold in ore. 
 
 To touch and taste, 
 Or at the brim to spill the wine, 
 
 Or with stiff eyes which sightless turn, ^ 
 Or, surfeit sicken'd, sight to spurn, 
 Or to drink drunk be most divine. 
 
 Or each but waste, 
 I know not : let deep odour burn 
 Purpose or peace into our brain ; 
 If loss be law — law-bound we gain 
 By losing ; so, till logic turn 
 
 Diamonds to paste. 
 Let us be rich, to squander ; void, to learn ; 
 And young, to ha,ste. 
 
 (My folly sit 
 Upon my shoulder.) Listen ! we are mad ! 
 
 We clasp your claim to sottish sanity ; 
 Muffle your ears — those bells — and get you clad. 
 
 In the first feint that tricks your vanity. 
 
THE FIRST FOOLING. 
 
 (My love, the world 
 Is old j so old and strain'd, it might be wise : 
 
 And we, we wane so soon, we wear so ill ; 
 
 Forgive me if I fail, I fear to fill 
 My fathom'd frailty, — and with tears your eyes. 
 
 Listen ! we must fade ; 
 Our gain and loss is losing ; we are set — 
 
 No incense-swinging musk-seed, nor the sedge 
 That works sweet singing in the wind, nor yet 
 
 A poppy born to burn a barren ledge. 
 
 My love, the world is deep 
 With buried resolutions of the dead ; 
 
 Swallow not all the virtues in thy greed, 
 Nor shame thy soul with loud unlimited 
 
 Cheap promise, lined with fitfulness of deed.) 
 
 Is there no suppliant's moon. 
 Or does it lack a sweet to be compared ? 
 Or is unwed and wailing love too rough, 
 Too bitter for its beauty, while the cuff 
 Of callous eyes still staggers and is dared ? 
 
THE FIRST FOOLING. 
 
 Is there no moon to hear 
 The lover grown to wisdom at a frown. 
 Or fools set to wise folly by a smile, 
 The sluggard for a glove that pants a mile, 
 Or the sad soul which stores where it has sown ? 
 
 Stubble and strife for a song, 
 For faith to feed on though she fear her meals. 
 
 Dew-dazzled eyes that smile the constancy 
 Of wave-waif purpose in the broken wheels 
 
 Of a wild rainbow on a weary sea. 
 
 The vow which rests or reels 
 Upon a varied colour of content, 
 
 Catching the sham concurrence of its fears. 
 In a blind cupboard broods upon its bent, 
 
 Nor dares to whisper, dreading most its ears. 
 
 Halcyone ! To weave 
 Warp'd thorns with bleeding hands, to rest a brood 
 
 Of sick unquiet thoughts in downy nest ; 
 Held by their hovering mother with sweet food ; 
 
 Though their dark boat, gilt by the golden west. 
 
THE FIRST FOOLING. loi 
 
 Wanders across the wave 
 To silver its sharp brambles in the moon ; 
 
 While their kiss'd hunger, wondering for the mom, 
 Through the soft midnight of a quiet June 
 
 Hears the far shore trees chatter at the dawn. 
 
 Halcyone, I built 
 On darker deeper water than the sea. 
 
 And, oh ! more changeable : beach-bound I wed 
 The softest snowiest sea-bkd ; wofuUy, 
 
 In thy blue eyes, I watch'd the restless bed 
 
 Of their swift children ; — 
 Pardon'd the pooling clouds for that deep shift 
 
 Of darkness on their azure ; — watch'd them die. 
 Poor drench'd drown'd babies ; gave them shrift, 
 
 Brief, tearless, and myself the wise old lie — 
 
 The moon 's not worth a tear : 
 Yet he 's a fool that weeps where he may have, 
 
 And all the moon 's more kind for our desires, 
 Whose tears cement the scanty stones which pave 
 
 The way to find such bliss as fancy hires. 
 
i2 THE FIRST FOOLING. 
 
 At evening all return. 
 Then, at the cliff edge, on the thymy turf, 
 
 With wild flax flowers to play the wild blue eyes 
 Which had as brief a brilliance, and the surf, 
 
 The gravel-grinding wisdom of the wise, 
 
 Wise world of fools 
 Some hundred feet below ; with helmet dipp'd 
 
 In flower-press'd oil of age, and captive cows 
 So meek to the great field ; — the long low-lipp'd 
 
 Gold furrows trending past the sea-bent boughs — 
 
 To sow the old fierce crop : 
 To watch the fearful earth, and fear no more 
 
 The war-god's garden, till his warriors piece 
 By bits to flowers which sow the quiet floor ; 
 
 The hedge-hung bedstraws from a golden fleece 
 
 Drop into sweetness, 
 And moralizing as a housewife's tongue 
 
 After the mischief; till the droning beach 
 Is sharp with children, while the mists are hung 
 
 In pendent parcels with a sun in each. 
 
THE FIRST FOOLING. 103 
 
 Through their thin fires, my love ! 
 Comes with white arms, and wistful eyes that fill 
 
 A cuckoo-voided nest, nor vies lost bliss. 
 Though all the mom-mad singing hills are still, 
 
 Closed in the curious cadence of a kiss. 
 
 My love, the world sinks out, 
 Past thy dark glory steals itself, and we. 
 With all things won, can pardon it the theft 
 Which, taking all, gains nothing, and is reft 
 From that wise waste that fathers ecstasy. 
 
 I had no wings 
 To suck sunk sweets behind the sailing ships. 
 
 To shirk stray shots, or gulp the barbed meats 
 Of treachery ; I loved thy boisterous lips 
 
 For that school'd quiet their contempt estreats. 
 
 The world sinks out in dreams 
 Which have distorted all my teaching sprites. 
 
 And I am lesson'd by thy laughing eyes 
 To doubt all darkness past those dripping lights 
 
 That haze with golden wires their own disguise. 
 
I04 THE FIRST FOOLING. 
 
 All bent is bound ; the very winds but free 
 
 To whisper secresy 
 Which hymns their servitude : where white birds comb 
 
 Their feathers in the flecking of the sea, 
 The pale waves shiver, and way-lost do roam. 
 
 And dream on constancy to give their crests. 
 
 Blue-vein' d, to deck thy breasts. 
 A wide confusion to the foolish law, 
 
 Self-sentinell'd, thy quiet eyes have swept. 
 
 Which all the treasure of men's sight had kept 
 Outguarded by the half of that they saw : 
 Thine eyelids weave a silken consolation 
 
 For the rich heavens they close. 
 While silence parts thy lips, in love's vacation, 
 
 As languor folds waved petals to a widening rose. 
 
( 105 ) 
 
 SKETCHES FOR A FACE. 
 
 With sweet head daintily set. 
 As a cluster of pale pink heather 
 With frail bells folded together 
 And weighed above by the wet. 
 
 Or the tender-throated flower 
 That flaunts with its foamy face 
 And dreamily delicate grace 
 The open sky for an hour. 
 
 Poppy leaf, laughter choked ; 
 And dew distrest as the daisy, 
 Shy of the dawn, or lazy ; 
 The eyes of her : yet provoked — 
 
io6 SKETCHES FOR A FACE. 
 
 Violet, shower encaged, 
 Stabbing the shade with its scent ; 
 Or the rainbow's foot where it leant 
 On the slate ledge, tearfully aged : 
 
 Or kind— as the cloud-pool'd fire 
 Of blue sky hid by the hail, 
 That burns through an icy wire 
 Its virgin heart in a veil. 
 
( 107 ) 
 
 CHANGE. 
 
 So the burnt fly — 
 With gauze wings scorched, 
 Wits not his wounding : 
 On the white table 
 Plumes for his future 
 Flights and forgettings : 
 Finds he is wingless. 
 
 So the lover — 
 Burnt in the first flame 
 Breaking his midnight, 
 Feels but his shoulders 
 Lighter and lifeless : 
 In the white desert, 
 
io8 CHANGE. 
 
 With shock'd eyes, timid, 
 With stern lips, proudly 
 Comes to the battle : 
 Finds he is loveless. 
 
 So the maiden — 
 With light eyes, careless, 
 Plays with the hot flame, 
 Fools in the fire globe. 
 Circles it, snatches 
 A quick doom : hopeless. 
 On the white cover 
 Shrouding the coltish 
 Excalefactions, 
 Dreams of a calm life, 
 Order'd orations 
 For the quick love words. 
 Orderly duties 
 Grafted on passion's 
 Briar : — and waking 
 Finds the world worthless. 
 
( I09 ) 
 
 BEACH BOUND. 
 
 By the swish and surl of the sea, 
 Swung from the bed of the slumberous sons of storm, 
 
 Swayingly, soothingly kissing a dimpled hand 
 Lazily loved, through the languorous length of a day 
 
 Coquetting with the simple snowy sand. 
 
 Laying a fringe of crystal about her throat, 
 Tremulous over her breast in a veil of blue 
 
 Chased with the running waves and fretted with silver 
 spray. 
 Or shaken into a garment of liquid gold 
 By little rocking ripples in the bay.

 THE HOUSE PORCH. 
 
 Take my report — 
 I have had teaching, do not sport 
 Thy love too largely, love must fast 
 
 If it would last. 
 
 Nor fast too late — 
 Untold, unseen, it fails to wait 
 A whole moon painted from the sky 
 
 Ere it wilWie, 
 
 If love be long 
 'Tis level, but 'tis short if strong : 
 Some think for both — yet such are brave 
 
 Who either have. 
 
THE HOUSE PORCH. 
 
 Hold no intent 
 To waste thy love with argument, 
 All things have reason could we read ; 
 
 Nurse not thy need ; 
 
 Nor raise a roof 
 Till the top story : pick out proof 
 From the dreg's drift ; unsoothed surprise 
 
 Oft clears the eyes. 
 
 Be not direct 
 In service, but be circumspect : 
 Too gross expenditure doth prove 
 
 No wealth in love. 
 
 Do not allow 
 Too base a contrast ; shifts avow 
 Mere poverty : though the world be wide- 
 Look where you hide. 
 
 W-ho bids his life 
 For thine rates thee not low ; be wife 
 To him whose virtues pay him worst, 
 
 So art thou first 
 
THE HOUSE PORCH. 
 
 Virtue's reward, 
 Hence virtue ; and the boon will guard 
 His loyalty leaguer'd by surprise : 
 
 Waste not thine eyes, 
 
 Nor think thy grace 
 Doth plant fresh flowers in his face. 
 But plucks them, making such appear 
 
 As erst were there : 
 
 Thou mayst contrive 
 Confess'd incitement in thy hive 
 As drives him out for honey, or 
 
 Canst waste his store, 
 
 Being ill content 
 At the far carriage which hath spent 
 Its sweetness : yet he went thus wide 
 
 Half deified 
 
 By his slow wit 
 Which scorn'd the common, would not sit 
 Where flies had stolen, so his mart 
 
 Show'd a right heart. 
 
THE HOUSE PORCH. 113 
 
 Should sick love come, 
 Part cured, to tenant his old home, 
 He'll find, dust-dark, old ways forgot — 
 
 Ah, chance it not ! 
 
 Nought is more sad 
 Than sought lost wings, with shoulders mad 
 For flight; burnt fly, clipp'd bird, strain'd zest 
 
 To warm a breast 
 
 Once white with flame : 
 To see lost magic, note the aim 
 Where once we felt the arrow, glime — 
 
 Where once the rime 
 
 Of suns that lit 
 On lifting lashes made us sit 
 Betray'd by the fine love that fail'd 
 
 Most, unassail'd. 
 
 Ah, chance it not ! 
 Tread kindly here, we rest on rot 
 That 's stablest : may our scantlets sewn 
 
 Some pattern own. 
 
 I 
 
114 THE HOUSE PORCH. 
 
 Faint love enforce, 
 By lever'd grace of intercourse, 
 With final note — thy pressure's power 
 
 Must lift or lower 
 
 (As lies its scroll) 
 His twisted tether ; yet the toll 
 Of stiff screws either way is weight, 
 
 And doth rebate 
 
 Love, all whose stress 
 Is but its own magneticness 
 Charm'd steel to stir, that doth entice 
 
 Nought by device. 
 
 Breathe not the scorn 
 Thy neighbour stirs ; who plucks the thorn 
 Must be most gentle in his mood ; 
 
 Aught rift is rude. 
 
 Do not as^y 
 Thy jewels for men's doubts, prepay 
 Too pert perception with a smile ; 
 
 Doubt is a file 
 
THE HOUSE PORCH. 115 
 
 Which frets to free 
 Much that 's best prisoned ; could we see 
 We might be brave, bHndfold we fear 
 
 Aught that we hear. 
 
 Scorn not the change 
 Of common intercourse, his range 
 Who bids but gold is rather hurt 
 
 Than by some dirt 
 
 Would be his purse ; 
 Small sellers must his views reverse, 
 And eye the coin's extravagance 
 
 And him askance : 
 
 Who knows his gold, 
 Knows its exchange, and has it told 
 In silver ; finding nought is paid, 
 
 And few deeds weigh'd 
 
 By their intent. 
 That nakedness doth represent 
 A rank immodesty to most. 
 
 And morals boast 
 
ii6 THE HOUSE PORCH. 
 
 Still by the hand ; 
 So rather risks a reprimand 
 For dross (but shows by stint his store), 
 
 Than sets the door 
 
 Of coinage wide. 
 Yet hoarded gold doth lack, beside 
 The constant copper, use to grace 
 
 Its careless face. 
 
 Oh, shun dumb eyes ; 
 Lips speak constraint, and music lies 
 Not throat-bound ; he no whisper hears 
 
 Who has but ears : 
 
 All sight must be 
 Indictable transparency 
 That solely sees, and stark doth wait 
 
 To judge our gait. 
 
 Wear the world's shield 
 With difference ; its glutted field 
 Is but impaled simplicity, 
 
 Whose gain may be, 
 
THE HOUSE PORCH. 117 
 
 By quartering, 
 Adverse to honour : set a wing 
 As thy pretence, so 'twill appear 
 
 How thou art heir. 
 
 Tih not with truth. 
 Nor sally for split spears, thy youth 
 Most fits with some unhomed crest 
 
 To work its zest : 
 
 Strike down disguise, 
 And wear thy heart wide as thine eyes ; 
 Who knows his reason holds a reed 
 
 Which tries each deed 
 
 By its content ; 
 And may defer his measurement 
 In scorn, yet wound the world less deep 
 
 Than he whose keep 
 
 Prisons weak sprites 
 With double bar, and who indites 
 But pious scroll across his gates 
 
 To face the fates. 
 
ii8 THE HOUSE PORCH. 
 
 Thy feeding must 
 Be daily pluck'd ; night fancies fust ; 
 Food soonest from the sky-based pales 
 
 The sooner stales : 
 
 All heaven's best bread 
 Is tasteless when its dews are dead, 
 Must be pick'd stooping, though the kine 
 
 Lick leaves to dine : 
 
 Yet 'twill endure, 
 Kept by its heavenly habit pure. 
 Days it may not be gathered ; still 
 
 Eat out thy fill ; 
 
 If thou hast more 
 Helping than hunger — 'twill not store ; 
 If thou hast less 'twill yet suffice ; 
 
 Its ends are nice 
 
 Unto our needs ; 
 So that he only lacks who reads 
 Man's measure in God's boon, and eats 
 
 Worms for His meats. 
 
THE HOUSE PORCH. 119 
 
 Yet boast not trust, 
 Who trusteth most, sees nought ; he must 
 Who trusteth best see all. Faith mocks 
 
 At paradox : 
 
 Men with shut eyes 
 Eat beetles — but lose paradise : 
 'Tis best, though close, to cleanly dine, 
 
 With sight for wine. 
 
 Oblivion keeps 
 But brief eclipse, and he who sleeps 
 Is only happy as his dream. 
 
 So rather seem 
 
 Than be express 
 To revel in forgetfulness ; 
 Rash confidences simply own 
 
 As thy friend's loan. 
 
 In short, be brave 
 In thy behaviour ; drought ne'er gave 
 Green pasture ; be content with worth — 
 
 All else is earth.

 DYNAMICS OF A PARTICLE. 
 
 My love came back to me — 
 Across the circle of the shallow city, 
 
 Having conform'd a week to its decree ; 
 From its blunt beggary, from its stupid pity. 
 
 Came back to me. 
 
 Like the dark evening cloud with cold rim golden. 
 
 That folds a fretted shield across the sea 
 To dupe its waves, but, where by none beholden, 
 Comes back heaven-free. 
 
 With her burst breast, and moist hair torn, and scatter'd 
 
 About the lips that joust with calumny ; 
 The sad sweet lips that never scorn'd nor flatter'd 
 Come back to me 
 
DYNAMICS OF A PARTICLE. 123 
 
 To taste life's tears, joy, patience, labour, sorrow. 
 
 All youth's mistakes, all deep love's ministry ; 
 Themselves the shrine I once was wont to borrow, 
 Come back to me 
 
 Doubly her own ; by worship consecrated 
 
 A rosy altar never fire free ; 
 Though the world's fondlings, by its gloom belated. 
 Come out to me 
 
 To mimic in Love's grove their love's disaster ; 
 
 Then, mask-enamour'd, back to prudery 
 Buzz, to corrupt their canker'd sores with plaster ; 
 Leaving to me 
 
 The white-Umb'd love, their gaping eyes have hidden, 
 
 That binds close lashes on mock modesty ; 
 When by their mewling murmurs unforbidden. 
 My love comes back to me. 
 
 My love came back to me — 
 Her fair hair hid, her sweet throat lock'd, her feature 
 
 Falsed by fool's fashion ; she, that fearlessly 
 Had link'd the meanest thing in arm to teach her, 
 
 Came back to me 
 
124 DYNAMICS OF A PARTICLE. 
 
 With wild eyes watchful, where before love's graver 
 
 Had charged in azure field his fantasy, 
 Where passion's light and laughter strove for favour, — 
 Came back to me 
 
 Soft with strange patience, mild in the endeavour 
 
 To partner with all sorrow, heedlessly 
 The boat of phantoms, though anon as ever 
 Comes back for me 
 
 The wild girl-innocence with its mystic science. 
 
 The counterlight of stiff philosophy ; 
 Since it denies a sediment compliance : 
 (Come back to me) 
 
 As though her eyes had known all hearts, had, haunting. 
 
 The nether springs of purpose, got the key 
 To fancy, folly, fury ; yet unvaunting 
 Comes back to me. 
 
 From the lost lap of love to lift the magnet 
 
 That corners the straight sunbeams ; by the sea 
 To hold God's fishes only fill the drag-net : 
 At last with me 
 
DYNAMICS OF A PARTICLE. 125 
 
 To chance the disregard of fools, and leaven 
 
 Their saltless salve of suitability ; 
 With all the world sun-drown'd since from her heaven 
 My love came down to me.

 AN APOLOGY. 
 
 Twine simple flowers to sanction simple brows ; 
 The daisy queens it over subjects sweetest ; 
 Faith's eye that still love's aureoled ring allows 
 Is the completest. 
 
 That sun theft now is scorned, none dares to fee 
 Heaven's gold to freak our rain-cloud — or to flout it : 
 Yet miser-minting was't when there could be 
 No saint without it. 
 
 Few, since all vines to avouch dull labour's vat 
 Are stript, wit what its ferments faith's entail owe ; 
 And most suppose mere pushing back their hat 
 Will bring a halo. 
 
AN APOLOGY. 127 
 
 Though otherwise, I lack the blush-born sense, 
 That dreads its comfort, of your rose-bit rabies ; 
 Yet, no hedge-simpler, keep fool's reverence 
 For birds and babies. 
 
 So serve, if serve you can, your daisy queen. 
 And pray heaven's meads to send you daisies plenty. 
 Nor fret, though I prefer to sweet seventeen — 
 Frank four and twenty. 
 
 Twine simple speech, and simple sounds compose. 
 For virtue's nescience oft can best deter vice ; 
 Her sea-drest sister grants the red corn rose 
 Ecstatic service.

 EROS TO MINERVA. 
 
 Thy poor disciples toil 
 With engines rude to hear the fly's foot fall, 
 To moor within a void the alter'd voice, 
 Nor heed they, planning shifts to call 
 
 Rejoice ! 
 So swift about the world, what lack 
 Have they that make, not words anew, but ways 
 (Pain finding still its place on pleasure's back,) 
 To fill the earth-hid half of others' days 
 
 With what is less their life, unshown. 
 Than the slug's back cold till he sees the snail ; 
 And whose short ken 
 Doth hail 
 As blessing aught- if 'twas before unknown. 
 
 And past all wit can praise 
 As good for mountains what proves bad for men. 
 
EROS TO MINERVA. 129 
 
 Go, bid them spoil 
 Their clumsy craft. This poor artificer, 
 Who has with me a bare month work'd, can tell 
 Amid a thousand flutes the pipe of her 
 
 Who spends his toil : 
 Beside the clang-rock'd steeples hear the bell, 
 
 To all else mute, 
 That calls the prayer of its one worshipper 
 Into the little chapel destitute. 
 Where the sacristan is the sermoner. 
 
 Her foot's light fear 
 (Which the deep-buried bee but knew 
 By its crisp stroke against the scatter'd dew). 
 
 From faith-fast ear 
 Can, on his wild heart thrown 
 Clear as a charging army's trumpeter. 
 
 Check it to stone. 
 
 Nor need he own 
 Or case Or casket to control her tongue — 
 Whose name is called 
 Across the stretching ears. 
 That ever listening flit 
 On dainty elves between the golden cups 
 
130 EROS TO MINERVA. 
 
 Which, sacrificial, to the sun's desire 
 Present the pale wine of the white moon's tears ; 
 (Whereon with heavenly wit 
 The whole mead sups) : 
 Whose words are strung 
 Along the gorse on misty webs of fire ; 
 And whose least wish is wall'd 
 By all the world, while he is stall'd 
 
 Within a briar, 
 Where blushes are for roses hung. 
 Its signs to acquit. 
 
 Go, bid thy slave. 
 If with my servant thou contrast him. 
 Across some sea where but soft currents ply. 
 From each uncompass'd wind that hurrieth past him 
 To call some spent ill-harness'd speech or sigh : 
 Go bid him crave 
 Or force his thrall the sun to save 
 A careless gesture's lost intent. 
 Or one mad moment's merriment 
 For a sweet forenoon's shady sultry dreaming : 
 Nay more, 
 
EROS TO MINERVA. 131 
 
 Thyself with all thy magic glut 
 His full out-labour'd life's apprenticeship ; 
 You'll teach him but 
 
 (Soon gaping through the unhinged door) 
 Mere morsels of — spite his sick soul's wide seeming — 
 The world acquaintahce of a lover's lips. 
 
 Yet, ere he goes, 
 Tell him Love also holds for prayer 
 
 Dynamic throes ; 
 
 Which, while they fail 
 To cast men piecemeal through the outraged air, 
 Do mountains lay and their hid hearts disclose ; 
 
 And, with sweet leaven, 
 Can, whole, for poor men, hale 
 All heavy breasts beyond earth's bursting woes 
 To heaven.

 A QUARTER FACE. 
 
 I'd tell — were words less poor ; 
 Or paint — did colours burn, were light not fire ; 
 Or sing — could sound 
 Its hurry of passion cure ; 
 Were stone less still e'en that I'd hire. 
 
 Yet : — where a white reefs cur], 
 Within a whirled eddy of over-enchased 
 Pale amber drown'd. 
 Circles an arbour of pearl 
 For whispers, which her eyes have graced ; 
 
 Where eyas elfins dance 
 All museless rout to rhythms her face repeats : — 
 Her ear that sleeps 
 Stealthily there, to enhance. 
 Beyond it, sweetest of all sweets. 
 
A QUARTER FACE. 133 
 
 The soft uncertain line 
 Which from her eye's hid hollow drops 
 O'er rose-blush'd steeps, 
 And is table at once and sign 
 Of the face it hides, the brow it props : 
 
 I'll praise, if 'twill suffice, 
 Past praising this. You'd kinder parts recall ? 
 Each note by its fret ? 
 Nay, I forget! 
 I never saw but her eyes, 
 And with them do her lids shut all.

 TWO WOOD FLOWERS. 
 
 Their sorrows to themselves on cloud dim days 
 The wind-flowers shut, and weep the sun ; 
 Each celandine is frill'd with rays, 
 Taking himself for one. 
 
 Their sorrows shut, and warm them with a tear ; 
 Though, scatter'd through the cloister'd crowds, 
 Some sudden stare, as 'twere they hear 
 The sun crack through his clouds. 
 
 Nor over meek, nor saucy. Each anaigns 
 The sun by its pecuUar grace ; 
 One works his colour through its veins, 
 The other's watching face 
 
TIVO WOOD FLOWERS. 135 
 
 Pales e'en its own ; but whether 'tis most dear 
 To find a transcript so intent, 
 Or spend the first kiss on a tear, — 
 Why, that 's the sun's to vent.

 REFLECTIONS. 
 
 Beware ! The housed candle hides the night, 
 
 Lucent although its crystal warders be ; 
 
 The jewell'd night-skirt gives them mirror-right, 
 
 Its shaken silver dulls transparency. 
 The window holds thy candle from the stars. 
 
 The stars from thee ; 
 With dregs each dream thy horn-gate, passing, mars 
 To burnish'd ivory. 
 
 Beware ! The creeping night-winds comb the flame ; 
 
 Inconstant shadows shake the surest room ; 
 Unburnt, the poisoned core which feeds thy fame 
 
 Will, scatter'd, shroud thee in its smoky tomb. 
 
REFLECTIONS. 137 
 
 The broken shield gives back the night its fires, 
 
 The stars their gloom ; 
 Binds thee, hand-circled, round thy fann'd desires, 
 
 And makes their truth thy doom. 
 
 " How then?" Go, leave thy house, and watch them both. 
 
 " The world is cruel and the world is cold." 
 More stupid though than either, and most loth 
 
 To prick its wine-skins — if the wine be old.

 EPITAPH. E.J.H. 
 
 Slippery places he seldom found, 
 With silent wings he was shod ; 
 
 Aloft from the lavish and level ground 
 He was pain'd for the poor that plod ; 
 
 And paid two shilUngs in every pound 
 As an income-tax to God.

 IN EARLY GARDENS. 
 
 Through tangled emerald spears, 
 At morn the misty fires 
 Of diamond dewdrop eyes 
 In a camp of tears, to arise 
 Sun-sought on his golden wires 
 From the dangling daisy ears. 
 
 Burst by a worm to the sod, 
 Swept by a swift on the wing. 
 Left for the low and the lean ; 
 Pearls for the throat of a queen, 
 Passing the price of a king. 
 For they deck the jewels of God

 WOOD SPURGE. 
 
 Hush ! — do you know 
 This plant I hold ? which, with a wise perverseness, 
 
 Seeks not to make a show, 
 Yet climbs a brittle briar, as with averseness 
 
 To trade with woe. 
 
 Yet 'tis a plot 
 Pickers had best beware of. While it weareth 
 
 Pale fires, its veins are hot 
 With a cold poison : though it simple sweareth, 
 
 Believe it not. 
 
 Think not in scorn 
 Thin stems are easy breaking ; — fear confiding, 
 
 Soft skins are lightly torn ; — 
 Its festering udders chill the hand that, chiding, 
 
 Plucks the bare thorn. 
 
WOOD SPURGE. 141 
 
 You see them bound — 
 Spring's milk that bums with winters wire that woundeth ; 
 
 Such charities compound 
 Alike in autumn, so the season roundeth, 
 
 Each face refound. 
 
 Grown to a tree 
 Such dainty fragrance leaves it, that, if ever 
 
 Dream-stifled there, fate-free 
 You may sleep on beneath it, end endeavour ; 
 
 Or heedlessly. 
 
 Scorch with a spot 
 Of its wild milk your hand ; or, its flame fasten'd. 
 
 Range with dipt darts to clot 
 Some warm swift heart Yet, if its roots be chasten'd 
 
 Close in a pot 
 
 With fiercest fire, 
 May be transumed into sweet bread its blasting. 
 
 Or by the sun made hire 
 For kine, or drunk in ferment, reason wasting, 
 
 Mate men with mire. 
 
142 WOOD SPURGE. 
 
 It holds a gum 
 That blots remembrance ; torn, has oil for healing ; 
 
 Is stript for incense ; some 
 Its savours spoil with dalliance, some with dealing, 
 
 Some drain its scum. 
 
 Its name approve 
 That doth transfuse such variance in its fashion. 
 
 Sweet roots, death's fruits above ; 
 Scorn, worship, wisdom, patience, folly, passion, — 
 
 Men call it love.

 FEMALE TELEGRAPH LEARNERS. 
 
 AN EXAMINATION SKETCH. 
 
 AVhite wistful woful faces, the sad gleam 
 Of stupid corner-seeking questionings, 
 Dim knowledge verging round a drowsy fly. 
 Lost with his straying wings. 
 
 The mother, or the sister, or the friend, 
 Or motherless so plain j some ways are writ 
 Across a self-obliterating plane ; — 
 Sighs go to smother it. 
 
 Thirty from some seven hundred, and the rest 
 Fail, and they know it ; each from household care 
 Shielded for months— for this. Oh, icing head ! 
 Is Pallas worth thy stare ? 
 
144 FEMALE TELEGRAPH LEARNERS. 
 
 Mute faces with mild courage resolute, 
 Ears that still hear the mother, eyes, distent. 
 Searching beyond the walls : a braid, a bow, 
 Sweet bawbles redolent 
 
 Of little lesser touches of the home, 
 The bright white wooden box, so deeply new, 
 With gaudy paper wreath of fancied flowers. 
 Or glassy sea-side view : 
 
 Holding a little eddy of sweet talk, 
 Kind faces full of glad presentiment, 
 Delight in promise, quick defeat forgot. 
 Home-happy merriment. 
 
 The compass-garnish'd card of iron pens 
 (One shakes to choke the fiend who thought to till 
 The acre of Christ's human interest,) 
 That fail, and fool, and spill : 
 
 The pencil, pen, and 'raser, " all in one," 
 That breaks, and blots, and ere its mischief dries 
 Ploughs up the paper, calling awful tears 
 To little misty eyes.

 Which cannot hold in alter'd reverence 
 So sweetly gauged a gift, and chokes the thought 
 Which shows the evening home, the dear prized boon 
 For admiration brought. 
 
 A carmine vinaigrette with brassy lid; 
 Poor mother ! There, with poorer plaintiveness, 
 A penny match-box, stored with odds and ends — 
 And self forgetfulness, 
 
 Makes sudden its poor company be felt. 
 Though at its rich contents hot blushes rise, 
 So dear before — and now j — she bends her head, 
 And hates the world, and cries. 
 
 Educed ? Ay, truly ! But your educations 
 Lead — to a choice of Liberty's wide graves. 
 With superscript, last epitaph of nations,

 TO DAISY. 
 
 Ah, sun-sown sweet, 
 Rose fringed flower, refrain thy face ! 
 
 Though heaven 's complete 
 Whence thou didst steal thine eyes, their grace 
 Asks sleeps for starlight, chinks to chase 
 
 Love's counterfeit. 
 
 No discords stir 
 The culver-coated cups which close 
 
 God's grape, no bur 
 Derides their draught, yet, crush'd, it throws 
 Hate from earth chalice, vows will doze, 
 
 Fools' fears deter. 
 
 So tread no fire 
 Which stains thy feet, and fancy soils ; 
 
TO DAISY. 147 
 
 And more aspire 
 To surfeit love with simple spoils, 
 Than with love's barm, in passion's toils. 
 
 Men's hearts to hire. 
 
 That vainest vista 
 Alike thy habit and the sun forbids : 
 
 Thy sole-swept sister 
 Is petal veiled till he bids 
 Her open, and on rosy lids 
 
 Has come, and kiss'd her. 
 
 Pitiful plunder 
 Thy fitful fragmentary day devours : 
 
 The veil of wonder. 
 So rudely wronged for hungry hours. 
 Gives dark eyes back to dusty bowers. 
 
 And drought with thund'er. 
 
 Our life 's an egg 
 Takes patient sitting ; cramps and pains 
 
 Are truss'd to beg 
 Out of its stony circle gains, 
 And ofTspring's ointment heaven refrains 
 
 Due brows to deg.

 THE LIE CASUAL. 
 
 Dark and darker : 
 
 Blindness about the eyes, and dumb 
 
 Silence of heart, and still — 
 
 Wider and wider eddying, 
 
 Circles of slow despair 
 
 Sicken, and seize, and slay ; and it were 
 
 Better than idly utterly spent, 
 
 Tolling under a tongueless bell, 
 
 Eating a frothy loafless leaven. 
 
 To lie with the bride of death and of hell. 
 
 Better to court a certain sin. 
 
 Choke with its dirt, and grind the husk 
 
 Of a sullen purpose stale, in the dusk 
 
 Sleep sodden amid its mire. 
 
 If we are swine, and awake to crush 
 
THE LIE CASUAL. 149 
 
 Pearls to our vermin'd bed, and to die 
 Burnt with a dung-hill fire. 
 
 Listen ! louder — 
 
 Gurgling prescient prelude of doom. 
 Loose-limbed staggering spectres rise, 
 Earth robed, out of a shallow grave. 
 Clipping the lie that was left to pave 
 Still-born sanctity past their tomb : 
 Hush ! trample their rocking eyes 
 Deeper, deeper into the earth ; 
 Dash the battening spade to fire 
 Over their cursed bones, and hire 
 Whiten'd virtues to sit them down : 
 Painted prudence to forge a frown 
 Over the dream of youth's desire ; 
 Silken silence to shame the liar. 
 Palsied patience to mock the clown.

 GREETING. 
 
 How do I ? Nay ! it is poor jest 
 To ask of him that doth fulfil 
 Thine errantry, and doth it ill 
 
 When he has done his best. 
 
 (I do but ill, and have been long in doing ;) 
 Oh, seek a standard, ask the sun 
 
 (I win but loss, and I am lost in wooing.) 
 Each day how he has done. 
 
 How does the bee when it has lost 
 For one sweet sinful hour the hive ? 
 Does any happy solace thrive 
 
 Companion'd by its ghost ? 
 
GREETING. 151 
 
 (What deed but dies which hath no why to waken ?) 
 Come, earn some end, some fancy spin ; 
 
 (What eyes still pry that are of sight forsaken? ) 
 Let cells not sweets begin. 
 
 Thy fancy fails ? Express the flower, 
 
 With shows for swift eyes, scents for blind ; 
 
 Deck for thy self s delight a bower 
 Until its kindness make thee kind.

 A WET DAY ON THE RIVER. 
 
 Starboard ! Softly. — Now we could browse 
 Under the weir mouth, swung by the weir waste ; 
 
 Wattle the sail in the willow boughs : 
 Tears for raindrops seemed but a dear taste ; 
 
 Better here than watching the pane, 
 The ousel's pipe for a pompous chatter ; 
 
 A female aunt was the dreariest rain ; 
 Words wet worse than the worst cloud's patter : 
 
 Yet rainbows were pleasing to some, 
 E'en when the sun showed salt in the water ; — 
 
 The sweetest colours shimmer'd on scum ? 
 That proved nothing : light was the daughter 
 
A WET DAY ON THE RIVER. 153 
 
 (Some eyes said so, though it might be 
 Their one truth,) not maker of colour. 
 
 Chicken ? Who pack'd salt in the tea ? 
 Oh ! this poor world ! Which were the duller — 
 
 Balbus flatter'd less of a fool 
 Since his mates smear'd paint, wore the patches ; 
 
 Caius, to hide, on a two-legged stool, 
 His comfort easeless, singing in snatches ? 
 
 Take life's sum now, puzzle it out, 
 Fourscore years to solve the equation 
 
 So — Love is love ; death, death. Did I doubt ? 
 Few folks lived their own valuation ? 
 
 AVell, suppose a value for proof — 
 Death to be life minus love ; or that love is 
 
 Three times death ; — would I prod the roof 
 There ! How the rain-drops flocked into coveys ! — 
 
 What then ! What ? well most had a tale 
 Eve pluckt life, not light in the garden : 
 
 Life was eternal, knowledge must foil ; 
 Good and evil, who could be warden ? 
 
154 A WET DAY ON THE RIVER. 
 
 Not I — each ; yet each could decide 
 Conduct, character, cause, in a second. 
 
 Claret? yes ! It was cheap to chide, 
 Ways went smooth when the devil beckon'd. 
 
 Lunch was a snare, but the world was wide ; 
 Absent friends ! He'd pull to the ferry 
 
 If I would tidy. The glass had lied — 
 " Rub the clouds gold, the day will be merry.'' 
 
 Grease ? that was affected ; he'd leave the stern 
 But for the sculls. My left was the stronger — 
 
 JVo ? tricked in the feather ? I'd yet to learn 
 Respect for the leam'd. Where the rush was longer, 
 
 Bending the reed-mace, close to the bank — 
 Look ! six blue-wet fat little swallows ; 
 
 One new grace with the rain to thank : 
 The wave cough too, in the rat-cut hollows. 
 
 One never heard in the sunny air. 
 W/iy ? Did I ask, who had set a single 
 
 Star in the misty eclipse of my hair 
 To wander alone ? When ? Tush ! though we mingle 
 
A WET DAY ON THE RIVER. 155 
 
 Defeats in a pie, success would attend 
 Charged on the crust ; but I might remember 
 
 Once when it took three dances to mend 
 A string of pearls ; but that was December, 
 
 This was June ; six months was a lapse 
 Only the hardiest memories ventured. 
 
 By the bend? The cut would be choked perhaps; 
 Stroke — hard ! Heads ! Was his piloting censured ? 
 
 Who could steer such a sleepy keel — 
 The boat was a barge ? With coal for a cargo ! 
 
 Did he compliment ? The time must appeal ; 
 Quick-written discords swore in a largo. 
 
 Resolve them ? What had a double breath, 
 Part fierce as a fool, and as feeble flameless ; 
 
 Part fire's doom, hearts' quick-stifling death ; 
 Was it coal alone? But the rest was aimless— 
 
 Yet 'twas in darkness that both were dug, 
 Each the product of alter'd ages. 
 
 Each unwanted worse than a drug, 
 Both a puzzle to piet sages : 
 
156 A WET DAY ON THE RIVER. 
 
 Cut for a necklet, sold for a trade, 
 Flame in the fire-grate, stone in the scuttle : 
 
 Was it still but coal ; that had, unrepaid. 
 Out-spent his days as a weaver's shuttle? 
 
 Snow-ice, woman ! Swiftly congeal'd, 
 Firmer the further you dared to trust it ; 
 
 Unfrost-fibred : where faith was a-field 
 With never a crosslet crack to adjust it. 
 
 Never a crack, and never a curse. 
 But the water at once, and heaven straightway ; — 
 
 Yet her love was bought with an empty purse. 
 Her hall withheld by the humblest gateway. 
 
 Had he stoop'd enough ? Then he left the stem- 
 But not for the sculls ; and we dropt together 
 
 Out of the wet and the windy churn 
 Into a summer of sunny weather. 
 
( 157 ) 
 
 SER VICE. 
 
 Oh, might I be 
 The little changing fire on her breast ; — 
 The Scorpion's ruddy heart in storm-soft skies, 
 A beryl crystal-bound in a billowy nest, 
 A shaken blue-bell in a bed of snow. 
 O mazed mockery of rock'd unrest 
 Pavilion'd in her bosom, to be prest 
 By passion'd breath more closely, and most blest- 
 The solitary guardian of her sighs.
