GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 
 ARGUMENT. 
 
 Gyne, having discarded the man of her love, on account 
 of his poverty ; and married a wealthy suitor, for whom 
 she had respect, but no love ; galled by her golden fetters, 
 mourns over the sorrows of her heart. 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 PART I. 
 
 Once again I breathe with freedom, 
 f j Far from Fortune's false caress ; 
 Where, it seemed, the hollow-hearted 
 Smiled upon my wretchedness. 
 
 Far is now the restless city, 
 With its routs, and with its balls, 
 
 Where the stifling robe of fashion 
 Oft o'er hearts in anguish falls — 
 
 Hearts in secret ever bleeding, 
 While the stricken strive to smile, 
 
 And in mad pursuit of pleasure 
 Seek their sorrows to beguile ; 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 
 Where the blooming English maiden 
 Oft is sold, like Eastern slave, 
 
 Into bondage, dark and dreary, 
 Bounded only by the grave ; 
 
 Where the sold, and self-abased, 
 Restless, and with fevered brains, 
 
 In the giddy whirl of fashion 
 Half forget their heavy chains — 
 
 Chains that, to the world around them, 
 
 Seem but ornaments of gold, 
 But are ever felt in secret, 
 
 Galling, hopeless, painful, cold, 
 
 Freezing all life's best emotions, 
 Giv'n by God for higher things — 
 
 Giv'n that earthly loves might heavenward 
 Raise us on seraphic wings. 
 
 Oh the crime ! to stifle lovings 
 Lent us from the land of bliss, 
 
 That its pure and sweet communings 
 Sorrowing man might taste in this. 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 
 II. 
 
 Marriages are made in heaven, 
 Doth the ancient saying tell ; 
 
 Marriages that are but barters 
 Must be made in deepest hell : 
 
 Made in regions dark and dreary, 
 Where the trembling devils fear ; 
 
 Made 'midst demons' mocking laughter, 
 Angels raining many a tear ; 
 
 Made, with God in spirit grieving 
 O'er a soul's relapse from heaven ; 
 
 Made, with Satan grimly smiling 
 O'er a soul-destroying leaven — 
 
 Smiling o'er a kindred serpent 
 Coiled around the heart of Truth, 
 
 O'er a slow, corroding poison 
 'Midst the guilelessness of youth. 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 
 III. 
 
 Fast the fading leaves are taking 
 Changeful Autumn's golden glow, 
 
 And a parting gleam of sunshine 
 Seems to kiss them ere they go. 
 
 Thus the soul of fading beauty, 
 Still regretful o'er its clay, 
 
 Lingers long, and, in departing, 
 Wreathes a radiance round decay. 
 
 IV. 
 
 Here I sit, 'midst lonely grandeur, 
 Looking o'er the wide domain; 
 
 And the ghosts of hopes departed 
 Crowd around my heart again : 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 
 Ghosts of hopes that once were glowing 
 For a future, glad and bright ; 
 
 Hopes that now have sunk for ever 
 Into everlasting night ; 
 
 Hopes whose wild tumultuous swelling 
 
 Tis but left me to forget ; 
 Hopes whose sad and bitter ending 
 
 Conscience bids me not regret. 
 
 Can I say that I am lonely, 
 
 With a husband, good and kind? 
 
 Yes ! that worst of human loneness, 
 Loneliness of heart and mind ; 
 
 Where the chords of thought and feeling, 
 Swept by strange mysterious hands, 
 
 Fail to find the sweet responses 
 That the yearning heart demands. 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 
 V. 
 
 Happy were the days of childhood, 
 When 'twas joy enough to roam 
 
 'Midst the butterflies and flowers, 
 In the spangled fields at home : 
 
 When I joined the cottage children, 
 Wandering o'er the grassy lea, — 
 
 Joined them in their childish laughter, 
 Sharing all their simple glee ; 
 
 Till mine ancient nurse would chide me, 
 
 Call me to her side again ; 
 Tell me that "a little lady " 
 
 Should the ragged crew disdain. 
 
 Then, I felt, but understood not, 
 How convention nature mars ; 
 
 Felt myself a little captive 
 In a cage with golden bars. 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 
 VI. 
 
 Happier were the days of girlhood, 
 When my heart was fresh and free ; 
 
 Dreaming, ever strangely dreaming, 
 What life's casket held for me : 
 
 When harmonious thought and feeling 
 
 Made a music of my life ; 
 Ere a false world's false ideas 
 
 Warped them slowly into strife ; 
 
 Ere convention's school of folly 
 O'er me cast its fatal spell, 
 
 Dragged me from the path to heaven, 
 Drove me down the road to hell ; 
 
 When the glowing soul within me 
 Followed nature, true and kind ; 
 
 Rose beyond the joys of childhood, 
 To the joys of heart and mind. 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 
 Yet, though still my days were peaceful, 
 Yearnings of my heart and brain 
 
 Made the hidden life within me 
 Half a joy and half a pain. 
 
 VII. 
 
 Happiest days, when first my darling 
 Clasped me fondly to his breast, 
 
 And I heard, with sweet contentment, 
 All his burning love confessed ; 
 
 When the chaos of its passions 
 Ceased to vex this heart of mine, 
 
 Whilst, 'midst music of emotions, 
 Came the form of Love divine. 
 
 Yes, like music sweetly sounding 
 O'er a troubled sea, at rest, 
 
 Came a calm, when Love his pinions 
 Softly folded in my breast, — 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 
 Like the dew of even, falling 
 Slowly o'er a thirsty land ; 
 
 Or the waves of ocean, breaking 
 Gently on a distant strand ; 
 
 Like the sound of falling waters, 
 On a hot and sultry day ; 
 
 Or of Zephyr, in the forest, 
 With the rustling leaves at play. 
 
 Then life's noblest aspirations 
 Rose within my raptured soul, 
 
 And there seemed to lie before me 
 Something worthy as its goal ; 
 
 Climbing, ever upward climbing, 
 
 Towards celestial peaks of light ; 
 Cheering, counselling each other, 
 
 In a brave and noble fight. 
 * * * * 
 
 Ah ! 'twas but a bright ideal, 
 
 Glowing, noble, true, and high ; 
 But a pure and bright ideal, 
 
 Earth can seldom satisfy ; 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 
 But a heavenward aspiration 
 
 Of the godlike soul within ; 
 But a bright celestial vision, 
 
 Breaking through the clouds of sin. 
 
 # * * * 
 
 Yes ! I built my airy castles, 
 And, like others, built them high ; 
 
 Built them till their highest turrets 
 Lost themselves beyond the sky. 
 
 And, like builders oft before me, 
 On the shifting shores of Time, 
 
 Found them based upon destruction, 
 Bonded with untempered lime. 
 
 For ourselves are but the mortar, 
 Bonding blocks that build our lives ; 
 
 And the mortar, truly tempered, 
 Bonds the castle that survives. 
 
 And, I long had lain untempered, 
 In a false and foolish school ; 
 
 And, in building lofty castles, 
 I but laboured as a fool. 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 
 So, when storms of fate descended, 
 
 By the blasts of Fortune blown, 
 Shattered from their false foundations, 
 
 Were my castles overthrown. 
 * * * * 
 
 Too, too soon, my dream was ended ; 
 
 But, in dreams, it haunts me now ; 
 And I wake in fevered anguish, 
 
 Sleeping — traitor to my vow. 
 
 Yet, 'tis well that once I dreamed it — 
 Felt the rapture it could give ; 
 
 For my sorrow soon hath taught me, 
 Not to love, is not to live. 
 
 And, tho' mingled shame and anguish 
 Mar that dream I ne'er forget ; 
 
 That once I loved, and, loving, lived, 
 Still with rapture crowns regret. 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 
 VIII. 
 
 Often, waking to my sorrow, 
 In the morning, damp and chill, 
 
 Have I wished the joys of dreamland 
 Life's remaining years could fill. 
 
 And I trust that Time's impressions, 
 
 In the stainless life above, 
 Are but blissful dreams eternal : 
 
 Dreams of pureness, truth, and love ; 
 
 Dreams, without earth's sins and sorrows, 
 
 Where its tears are wiped away, 
 And its fondest recollections 
 . 'Midst the chords of memory play ; 
 
 Dreams, that for the shrived and pardoned 
 
 Can alone be bright and fair ; 
 Dreams, that are but pictured memories 
 
 Of this life of sin and care. 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 13 
 
 IX. 
 
 Song. 
 
 "Whene'er the carking cares of life 
 
 Around my hearth would stay, 
 Who soothes my heart with tuneful voice 
 
 And charms its cares away ? 
 
 My own true love. 
 
 " When darkness, brooding o'er my soul, 
 
 Makes life a troubled dream, 
 Who best can show me, through the gloom, 
 
 A light celestial gleam ? 
 
 My own true love. 
 
 "When dark foreboding and distress 
 
 Perplex my doubtful mind, 
 Who cheers my heart to hope again, 
 
 And is for ever kind ? 
 
 My own true love. 
 
i 4 GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 
 " When joys, across my darkened path, 
 Like transient sunbeams fall, 
 
 Say, who is she with whom my heart 
 Most longs to share them all ? 
 
 My own true love. 
 
 " When death, at last, mine eyes shall glaze, 
 
 And time its debt shall pay, 
 Of earthly things, what would I have 
 
 The last to fade away ? 
 
 My own true love. 
 
 "When sounds the trump that wakes the dead, 
 
 And time shall be no more, 
 Who would I have to greet me first 
 
 Upon the heavenly shore ? 
 
 My own true love." 
 
 'Tis the same — the song he sang me, 
 Underneath the starry dome, 
 
 Leaning on the ancient dial, 
 In the woodland walk at home. 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 15 
 
 I remember how he kissed me, 
 
 Ere the notes had died away ; 
 All the sweet, tumultuous pleasure, 
 
 As a thing of yesterday. 
 
 How our hearts, against each other, 
 
 Beating echoes to the song, 
 Shared a rapture of contentment, 
 
 As the moments sped along. 
 
 Then a thought, too deep to utter, 
 
 Floated dreamlike through my mind, — 
 
 But a rapture of emotion ; 
 Blissful, but to reason blind. 
 
 T'was a dream, like voiceless music, 
 That our long and lingering kiss 
 
 Was a drop within an ocean 
 Of eternity of bliss. 
 
 But the scythe of Time, above us, 
 
 Hanging o'er the dial plate, 
 Was the still and stony omen 
 
 Of a swift descending fate. 
 
16 GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 
 Still we wandered in the woodlands, 
 Whilst the deepening shadows fell ; 
 
 And we felt a sudden sadness : 
 Sadness that was joy as well ; 
 
 But a sadness born of shadows 
 Closing o'er a happy day ; 
 
 But a thought, without expression, 
 Joys of earth must pass away. 
 
 Then we talked with lowered voices, 
 Ling'ring still beneath the stars ; 
 
 And we felt the deep emotion 
 That the silent night unbars ; 
 
 Till the moon arose in brightness 
 Slowly o'er the distant hill, 
 
 And the dews of night were falling, 
 And the wind was damp and chill. 
 
 Yet to me 'twas warm and balmy, 
 Blowing o'er the moorland wide, 
 
 For I had my darling near me, 
 And crept closer to his side 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 17 
 
 Then he wound my shawl around me, 
 
 Pinned it with his jewelled pin, 
 And, with all his wonted kindness, 
 
 Self-denying, took me in. 
 
 I am but a wedded traitor 
 
 When my heart forgets its chain, 
 
 And, in fancy, freely wanders, 
 Ghost-like, in the past again, — 
 
 Round about the ancient mansion 
 Of my high and haughty race, 
 
 Full of fond associations, 
 
 As my childhood's dwelling-place ; 
 
 When my life of self-abasement 
 From my mental vision fades, 
 
 And again I love and loiter, 
 
 Dreaming, in its woodland glades, — 
 
 c 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 
 Haunts that charmed my peaceful girlhood, 
 
 Listening to the cooing dove ; 
 Haunts that have a dearer dearness, 
 
 Filled with memories of my love ; 
 
 Haunts that chainless fancy peoples 
 With the lost and with the dead, 
 
 Who, in memory's pictured chambers, 
 Walk around with noiseless tread. 
 
 * * * * 
 
 I am but a wedded wanton, 
 
 When my darling, at my side, 
 Fondly puts his arm around me, 
 
 Calls me his elected bride ; 
 
 Speaking with such sweet distinctness, 
 
 In the echoes of my brain, 
 That I can but love, and listen, 
 
 And believe him mine again. 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 19 
 
 XI. 
 
 Oh the hopeless, endless anguish, 
 Circled by the marriage ring, 
 
 When, regretful, fond affections 
 Still to stifled memories cling ! 
 
 Oft I doubt if it be sinful 
 
 To recall a purer life, 
 Lived before my falseness made me 
 
 A debased and loveless wife ; 
 
 But, as oft, a voice within me, 
 Like a bell of solemn toll, 
 
 Dirging o'er my hopes departed, 
 Whispers to my startled soul : 
 
 " False, before God's holy altar, 
 In thy fatal marriage vow ; 
 
 Lingering, longing, looking backward, 
 Adds a double falseness now. 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 
 " Yet, though lost are earthly pleasures 
 
 By a changeless law Divine, 
 Strands of gold, to guide thee heavenward, 
 
 Still the kindly Fates may twine. 
 
 " But beware, and bury deeply 
 
 Thoughts that warp the moral mind ; 
 
 Lest thy soul, though angels twine it, 
 Fail the golden chord to find. 
 
 " Thou hast sown the seed of sorrow 
 
 In the fatal field of lies ; 
 And, though but in frolic scattered, 
 
 Seed of sorrow never dies : 
 
 " Though awhile it seems to slumber 
 
 In the Lethic dust of years, 
 Seed of sorrow, sown of sadness. 
 
 Yields a harvest reaped in tears. 
 
 " Thou art doomed to endless tossing 
 
 On the troubled sea of life — 
 On the sea whose waves are passions, ' 
 
 Raging in an endless strife, 
 
GOLDEN FEl^TERS. 
 
 " Till earth's mirages all have vanished, 
 And thy vision, clear and far, 
 
 With unclouded eyes of spirit, 
 Sees its follies as they are ; 
 
 " In the day when love no longer 
 Shall be false convention's slave, 
 
 And the truth shall rule for ever 
 In the land beyond the grave ; 
 
 " Through the shining pearly portals, 
 Shut 'gainst sorrow, sin, and care ; 
 
 Where, amongst the changeless angels, 
 All is tearless, bright, and fair ; 
 
 " In the mystic world immortal ; 
 
 In the world of endless day ; 
 With a God before whose presence 
 
 Earth's defilements shrink away.'' 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 
 XII. 
 
 Happy days ! why were ye fleeting ? 
 
 Days of sorrow, dark and cold, 
 How I dread ye ! stretched before me, 
 
 With my heart already old, — 
 
 Old ! whilst still earth's brightest blossoms 
 Should be circled round my head ; 
 
 Old, and dead, and burnt to ashes, 
 Ere the spring of life has fled. 
 
 .. XIII. 
 
 It is well that earthly sorrows 
 Cannot penetrate the skies ; 
 
 That the peace of heaven is marred not 
 By earth's agonizing cries : 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 23 
 
 For its air is filled with wailing, 
 
 And resounds with shrieks of pain ; 
 
 And, it seems, 'midst moral chaos, 
 That the Godhead rules in vain 
 
 In a world where wrong is rampant, 
 And the right, in anguish found, 
 
 With the heel of dire oppression, 
 Trampled on the bloody ground. 
 
 It is well that earthly evils, 
 
 Lost amidst life's closing gloom, 
 
 Are, in kindest mercy, hidden 
 By the shadows of the tomb. 
 
 It is well the blessed spirits, 
 
 In the land without a tear, 
 See the good, but not the evil, 
 
 That they did in blindness here ; 
 
 And, in peace, can rest for ever, 
 
 Lulled by Lethe's listless wave, 
 Seeing not their loved ones' sorrows — 
 
 Seeing, when they cannot save. 
 
24 GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 
 my mother ! I am thankful 
 That you rest in peace on high, 
 
 Seeing not the tears you cause me, 
 Never hearing when I sigh : 
 
 1 am thankful that you know not, 
 
 Helpless now, beneath the sod, 
 That your well-intentioned folly 
 Darkens still my path to God. 
 
 Mother, you, from childhood, reared me 
 
 In a tinselled world of lies, 
 Darkly wrapped in clouds of folly, 
 
 Charged with gathering storms of sighs ; 
 
 And, too late, I see its falseness, 
 
 Lighted by the fires of fate, 
 In the furnace of affliction, 
 
 When my heart is desolate. 
 
 Once, you saw me rise above it — 
 ■ Rise to nature, truth, and right ; 
 Saw me make one struggling effort, 
 Upward, towards the darkened light ; 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 25 
 
 When, awhile, my heart was lighted 
 
 By the 'nobling lamp of Love, 
 And I sought, with trembling gladness, 
 
 Mists of earth to rise above ; 
 
 And, like Psyche in the cavern, 
 
 Went upon my charmed way ; 
 Felt the Godlike soul within me 
 
 Triumph o'er my baser clay. 
 
 Then, mother, false, and foolish ! 
 
 You my treasured secret found ; 
 Ruthless, took the lamp that led me ; 
 
 Dashed it heedless to the ground ! 
 
 I myself was weak and wicked, 
 
 For I took my troth again ; 
 And I see but retribution, 
 
 In a life of ceaseless pain — 
 
 Ceaseless pain, and degradation, 
 
 Sharpened, as when angels fell, 
 And remembered joys of heaven 
 
 Doubled all the pangs of hell. 
 
26 GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 
 But I was a simple maiden, 
 Overmatched in worldly art, 
 
 Knowing not the subtle falseness 
 Of the marriage-making mart 
 
 XIV. 
 
 When the lamp of Love was broken, 
 And my stricken heart was dead ; 
 
 When Hope lay bleeding in the dust, 
 And the joy of life had fled ; 
 
 When I cared not what befell me , 
 Since the light of life had gone, 
 
 And my path seemed lost in darkness- 
 Darkness darkest where it shone ; 
 
 Mother ! you, with deep designing, 
 Plunged me deeper in despair ; 
 
 Filled my heart with dark foreboding ; 
 Crushed it with a load of care. 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 27 
 
 Then I took the cup of fashion ; 
 
 Drank it, first, to still my pain ; 
 But you made me drink it deeply — 
 
 Drink it, till it turned my brain, 
 
 Till my stricken heart was maddened, 
 And its darkness seemed to blaze 
 
 With a host of bright mirages, 
 Rising in a golden haze. 
 
 Then your fatal work was ended, 
 
 And I did the desperate deed : 
 Plunged but deeper into anguish, 
 
 Struggling, vainly, to be freed ; 
 
 Knowing not the degradation 
 
 Of a loved but loveless wife — 
 Degradation, dark and damning, 
 
 Ending but with ending life. 
 
28 GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 
 XV. 
 
 Oh, forgive my lying baseness, 
 Husband, ever good and kind ! 
 
 For the lies of life had made me, 
 When I wronged thee, moral blind. 
 
 Would to God that I could love thee 
 With a love as true as thine ! 
 
 Would that I could freely give thee 
 Half the love that once was mine ! 
 
 Would to God that I could love thee, 
 And could all the past forget ! 
 
 But my heart is dead for ever, 
 And 'tis useless to regret. 
 
 Would, then, I could frankly tell thee 
 
 That my life is but a lie ; 
 Would, that I could frankly tell thee 
 
 And could lay me down and die ! 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 29 
 
 For, in part, I then might free thee 
 
 From the sorrow of my crime ; 
 And thy life would not be darkened 
 
 By the shadow over mine. 
 
 But, though oft the silent reaper 
 Finds us 'midst the sunlit flowers, 
 
 Oft he lingers, though we seek him, 
 When the tempest darkly lours ; 
 
 And thy love would then but bind thee, 
 
 Burning like a fiery chain ; 
 And I long might see thee suffer, 
 
 Ere he made thee free again. 
 
 ^t ?F 3|fr Tit 
 
 I will keep my guilty secret, 
 
 Since to tell, thy life would mar ; 
 
 I will bravely bear my burden, 
 Though the goal of life be far ; 
 
 Though it steep my life in falseness, 
 Though it plunge my soul in hell, 
 
 Though my heart be torn with torments, 
 I will not my secret tell. 
 
30 GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 
 Would to God thou didst not love me, 
 Seeking for a sweet return ; 
 
 For thy fondness seems to choke me, 
 And thy kisses seem to burn. 
 
 Oft I feel that I must flee thee, 
 Ere the soul of truth expire ; 
 
 For I daily plunge but deeper 
 In a lake of endless fire. 
 
 Willingly, like guilty Judas, 
 
 Would I cast the treasure down ; 
 
 All the price for which I sold me, 
 Though it were an empire's crown. 
 
 I would cast, with gladness, from me 
 All the treasures earth could give, 
 
 If again, in sweet contentment, 
 I could freely love and live. 
 
 Nay ! I'd give, and give them freely ; 
 
 Cast them down without a sigh ; 
 Could I feel that sweet contentment, 
 
 Though I felt it but to die. 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 31 
 
 I could bear, alone, to suffer, 
 Drifting on life's restless tide ; 
 
 Seeking, 'midst the nameless millions, 
 But my broken heart to hide : 
 
 But I could not bear to grieve thee, 
 And to load thy heart with care, 
 
 Making all the life before thee 
 But an anguish of despair. 
 
 Oh, I could not bear to leave thee 
 Tortured with a life-long doubt ! 
 
 Hopeless ! and yet ever hoping ! 
 Till the sands of life ran out : 
 
 For I know that thou wouldst seek me, 
 Anguished with a restless grief, 
 
 Till the gloomy lord of shadows 
 Gave thy weary heart relief. 
 
 Oh I could not, could not leave thee 
 
 To a fearful fate like this ! 
 Yet I dare not linger longer, 
 
 Trembling o'er the dread abyss. 
 
32 GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 
 Best, then, I should keep my secret ; 
 
 Bear it to an early grave ; 
 Best to end a life of falseness 
 
 By a death ignobly brave ; 
 
 Best that I should end my sorrow ; 
 
 That my life should reach its goal ; 
 Best that I should boldly free thee 
 
 At the peril of my soul. 
 
 Hark ! I hear a distant footfall ! 
 
 It approaches ! It is he ! 
 It is well his sudden coming 
 
 Breaks upon my reverie. 
 
 XVI. 
 
 It is well that thou hast left me ! 
 
 For a fate, beyond control, 
 Leaves the moments thou art with me 
 
 Traced in stains upon my soul. 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 33 
 
 Oh this base, ignoble acting 
 
 Of a love I cannot feel ! 
 Oh the anguished, anguished effort 
 
 But my falseness to conceal ! 
 
 Did I but, like common liars, 
 
 Lie a passing end to gain, 
 True and sorrowful repentance 
 
 Might efface the guilty stain ; 
 
 But this mean debasing acting, 
 
 Silent lying day by day, 
 With a slow corroding falseness 
 
 Eats the heart of truth away. 
 
 Oh, I dread the fearful future, 
 With its soul-corroding wrong ! 
 
 Known, yet daily done, in anguish, 
 But my falseness to prolong : 
 
 And in moments, dark with horror 
 
 That my life is but a lie, 
 I, with such a fate before me, 
 
 Fear to live, — yet dread to die. 
 
34 GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 
 For the fate to which I sold me 
 Grasps me with an iron hand ; 
 
 Drags me deeper into falseness, 
 Further from the better land. 
 
 XVII. 
 
 I have seen the wretched outcasts 
 
 In the gay and festive town, 
 Restless, like afflicted spirits, 
 
 Slowly pacing up and down. 
 
 I have heard the hollow laughter 
 
 That is mockery of grief, 
 When the anguished heart is hopeless, 
 
 And its pain is past relief. 
 
 Servants of the mighty dragon, 
 
 They have breathed his poisoned breath, 
 And, as wages, lie before them 
 
 Hunger, cold, despair, and death. 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 35 
 
 Who am I that dare despise them, 
 
 Priestly wedded though I be ? 
 I shall seem but little better 
 
 When men see as God can see ; 
 
 When convention's cloak has vanished, 
 And the mists of earth have fled, 
 
 Frighted from His shining presence 
 Who shall judge the wakened dead. 
 
 I, the petted child of Fortune, 
 
 Courted, flattered, and obeyed, 
 Like my fallen outcast sisters, 
 
 Far from righteousness have strayed ; 
 
 For, like them, I basely sold me, 
 And, more impious far than they, 
 
 I, before the sacred altar, 
 
 Dared the bargain words to say. 
 
 Oh, I feel the deep debasement 
 
 Of my self-inflicted doom ! 
 And I trust its dark defilement 
 
 Will not reach beyond the tomb ; 
 
36 GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 
 But that, in the books of judgment, 
 Even sins that most degrade, 
 
 When with tears of sorrow blotted, 
 From the fateful records fade ; 
 
 And that Christ, the Judge of mortals, 
 Once a mortal good and kind, 
 
 Cleansing my repentant spirit, 
 Will but haste my heart to bind ; 
 
 Mindful still of human weakness, 
 Sympathetic with its pains, 
 
 Though above the highest angels 
 He in dazzling glory reigns. 
 
 Oh, I dare not cease from hoping 
 That at last it will be well, 
 
 For the torments that I suffer, 
 Suffered hopeless, would be hell ! 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 37 
 
 PART II. 
 
 Fast the rolling months have vanished 
 Since I sat in lonely thought, 
 
 Pondering o'er the life behind me, 
 And the sorrow it had brought. 
 
 Time itself is swiftly sinking, 
 
 In the gulf eternal cast ; 
 Printing man's eternal future 
 
 In the records of the past. 
 
 For its moments, as they vanished, 
 Graved upon the mind of God 
 
 Every thought, of every mortal 
 Who this circling planet trod. 
 
38 GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 
 And through boundless space around us, 
 Vibrate human hopes and fears, 
 
 Filled with sympathetic Godhead, 
 Far beyond the starry spheres. 
 
 Sympathetic ! deeply feeling 
 Human joys and human pains ; 
 
 Watching mortals as they struggle, 
 Wrestling with their earthly chains. 
 
 And, as human wisdom deepens, 
 In the glorious time to be, 
 
 He shall fill the earth with knowledge 
 As the waters fill the sea. 
 
 And, though now we see but darkly 
 Through the misty glass of Time, 
 
 He shall show us in the future, 
 Justice, perfect and sublime ; 
 
 He shall show the why and wherefore 
 Of what seems but work of hell ; 
 
 He shall show, far in the future, 
 How He doeth all things well, — 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 39 
 
 In the bright eternal future, 
 
 When the mists of earth are gone, 
 
 And the universe exulting 
 
 Joins the angels in their song, 
 
 Heralding a new creation, 
 
 Holier, happier, brighter far 
 Than when sons of God, rejoicing, 
 
 Sang with every morning star. 
 
 I will trust Him ! I will trust Him ! 
 
 Though my path be darkened here ; 
 Though the guiding light before me 
 
 Oft be dimmed with many a tear ; 
 
 Looking to the. bright example 
 
 On the far' Judaean .field, : 
 Giv'n when Christ, as God incarnate, 
 
 Brought the balm the nations healed. 
 
40 GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 
 II. 
 
 Smiling spring, at last, has broken 
 All the chains that nature bound 
 
 When the dark and dreary winter 
 Brooded o'er the iron ground. 
 
 Now, the captive earth, rejoicing, 
 Crowns itself with festive flow'rs ; 
 
 Smiling welcome to the sunshine, 
 As it blithely sips the show'rs. 
 
 From the upland comes the lowing 
 By the distant cattle made ; 
 
 And I see the frisking lambkins 
 Dotted o'er the sunny glade. 
 
 In the trees, the birds are mating ; 
 
 And the flow'rets, as they spring, 
 With melodious fairy voices 
 
 Seem to ever sweetly sing. 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 41 
 
 Once again I hear the humming 
 
 Of the lately wakened bees ; 
 Whilst, with soft, seductive whispers, 
 
 Zephyr wakes the slumbering trees ; 
 
 And a music, soft and soothing, 
 
 Floats upon the dreamy air, 
 Bringing sounds of glad rejoicing 
 
 Over nature fresh and fair. 
 
 Yes ! a strain of soothing music, 
 
 Seems to come, — -and then depart, — 
 
 Soft, and sweet, and sympathetic, 
 Waking echoes in my heart. 
 
 Well I know, my priceless darling, 
 
 Gently sleeping on my breast, 
 Why I hear this voiceless music 
 
 Soothing me to peace and rest ; 
 
 All my inmost soul rejoices 
 
 Over thee, so fresh and fair, 
 And new life seems now before me, 
 
 And new hope seems everywhere ; 
 
42 GOLDEN FETTERS. 
 
 And my gladsome heart is singing, 
 Blithely singing over thee ; 
 
 And kind Nature, sympathetic, 
 Seems to join me in my glee. 
 
 Now, a host of new emotions 
 
 Pulsate through my wakened soul ; 
 
 And, again, life lies before me 
 With a high and noble goal. 
 
 I will shield thee from the dangers 
 Darkening still thy mother's way ; 
 
 I will point thee ever upward — 
 Upward, towards the perfect day ; 
 
 I will point thee ever upward 
 
 Towards the heavenly peaks of light, 
 
 Where the glory of the dawning 
 Breaks the shadows of the night. 
 
 I will seek, that I may show thee, 
 Right and truth's eternal laws, 
 
 Rising in the throne celestial 
 And the mighty Primal Cause. 
 
GOLDEN FETTERS. 43 
 
 Then, perhaps, when life is ended, 
 
 And its sorrows are no more, 
 I, a shattered wreck, and drifting, 
 
 Still may reach the heavenly shore ; 
 
 Finding peace, on earth denied me, 
 
 In the mansions of the blessed, 
 Where, with the eternal Father, 
 
 All is love and joy and rest. 
 
( 44 ) 
 
 HELEYNES LOVE. 
 
 " Ere ten decades have run their chequered course, 
 
 So little in thy life's eternity, 
 
 Thy love, and all the pangs that anguish now 
 
 Thy soul, and lacerate thy bleeding heart, 
 
 Will pass for ever into nothingness. 
 
 'Twill then be all the same as if thy grief 
 
 Had never been ; or thou, with Fortune's smile, 
 
 Had clasped thy lost one in a life embrace 
 
 Of dearest love and sweetest sympathy." 
 
 'Twas thus, with well-intentioned words, they spoke, 
 
 Who sought to comfort poor Heleyne, while she, 
 
 'Midst all the splendour of her ancient home, 
 
 Sat, pale, and listless to the world around, 
 
 In silent sorrow o'er her blighted love. 
 
HELEYNE'S LOVE. 45 
 
 II. 
 
 She gave her heart, with all the fondness of 
 A first, and true, and pure, and holy flame, 
 To one well worthy of the priceless gift, 
 To one both good and noble, kind and true. 
 The fires of genius flashed within his soul ; 
 And had he found the purest rest of earth, 
 In heart ennobling and inspiring love, 
 He might, within the circle of his life, 
 Have wrought great works of immortality, 
 And swayed the minds of children yet unborn, 
 And graved his name indelible 
 Upon the tablets of a golden age 
 To be, ere time has run its 'lotted course, 
 And angel voices usher strangely in 
 The mystery of eternity. 
 
 III. 
 
 They walked together 'midst the sweet spring flowers ; 
 They wandered freely in the woodland glades, 
 When early leaves were bursting into life, 
 And mating birds were twittering their loves. 
 
46 HELEYNE'S LOVE. 
 
 They shared, with simple freedom, all their joys, 
 And brightened thus each passing cloud of care : 
 They shared because they could not help but share- 
 To share had grown so sweetly natural. 
 With sweetest sympathy they ever joined 
 In hopes and fears, in pleasures and in pains, 
 And each gave brightness to the other's life. 
 From childhood it had ever been the same, 
 And so, as years rolled on, it came to be, 
 They knew not, and they scarcely cared to know, 
 When childhood's friendship blossomed into love. 
 
 IV. 
 
 A parting first their hidden love betrayed — 
 Till then a secret unsuspected by 
 Themselves, that, growing silently with life, 
 Had been, with youth's unconscious blissfulness, 
 Locked in the deep recesses of their hearts. 
 They could not part as friends can part ; they felt 
 That parting touched them with a hidden pain, 
 And o'er their lives such deepening shadows cast, 
 That each seemed walking in an endless gloom, 
 Of nameless sorrow, brooding o'er the heart. 
 
HELEYNE'S LOVE. 47 
 
 They knew they loved as man and woman love ; 
 And when again they met, they told their love, 
 And felt the rapture of a love confessed. 
 
 V. 
 
 Alas ! 'twas but of short duration ; for, 
 Though he was good and noble, kind and true, 
 He lacked, because his fathers won them not, 
 The titled trappings of nobility, 
 That oft are granted by ignoble kings ; 
 The lands, the castles, and the yellow ore, 
 That ever, in the estimation of 
 The baseness of a false and grovelling world, 
 Are ranked above the gifts of heart and mind 
 That grant nobility direct from God. 
 And thus it came to be, for that one lack, 
 His seeking her was deemed presumptuous crime 
 By those who thought to lightly barter love, 
 Like merchants bargaining about their wares, 
 Or hucksters higgling in a market-place. 
 And so they drove him from her, and forbade 
 That he and she should ever meet again. 
 
48 HELEYNE'S LOVE. 
 
 VI. 
 
 And now, poor maiden ! drooping like a flower 
 
 That's blasted in the spring-time of its hope, 
 
 They think to bind thy breaking heart, and pour 
 
 Cold comfort on thy sore and troubled soul 
 
 With words like these : "When ten decades have run 
 
 Their chequered course, 'twill be the same as if 
 
 Thy love had never been ; or thou hadst walked 
 
 The bright and sun-illumined path that leads, 
 
 'Midst fresh, and sweet, and ever-blooming flowers, 
 
 To love's true end of sympathy and bliss, 
 
 In marriage, motherhood, and home." 
 
 Ah, maiden ! it will not be thus. They lie, 
 
 Or know not all the truth, who tell thee so : 
 
 For years of time, that mould for weal or woe 
 
 Thy heart and soul, thy mystic inner self, 
 
 Like drops within an ocean's mighty brim, 
 
 Are but the fractions of eternity ; 
 
 And wondrous life to be, when things of time, 
 
 And earth, and sense, and earthly joy and pain, 
 
 Have sunk into the vast eternal gulf, 
 
 Is but continuation of the life 
 
HELEYNE'S LOVE. 49 
 
 That is, where each undying spirit finds 
 
 A passing home in temporary clay. 
 
 They lie, who say that aught that acts upon 
 
 Thy inner self, upon these shores of time, 
 
 Can ever be as if it had not been. 
 
 Thou art eternal, and thyself must be, 
 
 And must remain eternally, thyself, 
 
 Scored with the marks of time and circumstance. 
 
 It cannot be that things of earth shall cease 
 
 To act upon thy soul ; though earth itself, 
 
 And all the universe that's seen and known 
 
 By those of earth, has passed in flames away. 
 
 It cannot be that hopes and fears of earth, 
 
 Its loves and hates, its sorrows and its joys, 
 
 That once have acted on undying souls, 
 
 Can ever cease to act, though angels lose 
 
 Their count, and nameless years of time 
 
 Are gulfed for ever in eternity. 
 
 Thy love, poor maiden, that with torture now 
 
 So anguishes thy torn and bleeding heart, 
 
 Can never be as if it had not been. 
 
 A potent cause, it helped to shape and mould 
 
 Thy inner self, to make thee what thou art, 
 
 And, with effects eternal, still must act 
 
50 HELEYNES LOVE. 
 
 For .ever on thy life, for weal or woe. 
 
 The loves of earth, that blossom into fruit 
 
 Of peace, contentment, and the joys of home, 
 
 Give man a foretaste, 'midst the toils of time, 
 
 Of bliss awaiting the redeemed in heaven ; 
 
 And make him long in that fair land to find 
 
 A perfect home, and an eternal rest. 
 
 They give nobility to all his thoughts, 
 
 And mould a true and perfect character, 
 
 Of peace, self-sacrifice, and changeless love, 
 
 Unending, in the courts of Paradise, 
 
 And that goes with him to the spirit world. 
 
 But blighted love debases human hearts, 
 
 And turns them ever inward on themselves 
 
 In cold, complaining selfishness. 
 
 It dwarfs the better instincts of the soul, 
 
 And moulds a character at war with self, 
 
 With God, with gentleness, and human-kind, 
 
 And that goes also to the spirit world. 
 
 O maiden, then, cling bravely to thy love ! 
 
 For it will purify thy heart and soul, 
 
 And fit thee for the perfect love of heaven. 
 
 Be staunch and true ! for soon, fast fleeting years 
 
 Will free thee from the blind and base control 
 
HELEYNES LOVE. 51 
 
 That darkens now the spring-time of thy life. 
 Take courage, maiden ! thou art not the slave 
 Of foolish worldlings, or of circumstance ; 
 Thy life and will are still thine own, to use, 
 If thou hast courage, as shall seem thee best, 
 For time and for eternity. 
 I bid thee, then, in silent patience wait 
 Until thy years have made thee fully free ; 
 And then, as thou hast hope of peace on earth 
 Or happiness in heaven, to leave the wealth, 
 That might be thine, for other hands to hold, 
 And yield thy heart, and fervour of thy soul, 
 To true and free and life-ennobling love. 
 
< 52 ) 
 
 ANOTHER WORLD; ANOTHER LIFE. 
 
 Is there a heaven, a hell, another life, 
 That must be lived beyond the ghastly tomb, 
 And that immeasurable ocean, Time, 
 That surges round, with dark tumultuous waves, 
 And gulfs for ever from the sight of men, 
 The hopes and fears, the sorrows and the joys, 
 The very forms of those they know and love, 
 And makes them memories of a shadowy past ; 
 Until, at last, it surges o'er themselves, 
 And all they said, or did, or thought, or felt, 
 Within the compass of this narrow world, 
 Has passed away ; and fellow-men, for them, 
 Have drunk the waters of forgetfulness ? 
 Is there a heaven, a hell, another life, 
 That must be lived, within another world, 
 When this has passed away, and but its wrecks 
 Are scattered wide throughout the universe ? 
 
ANOTHER WORLD ; ANOTHER LIFE. 53 
 
 Eternal justice, throned within the hearts 
 
 Of men, in every age and every clime, 
 
 Proclaims there is ; or else there is no God. 
 
 It cannot be that God, all powerful, , 
 
 Looks calmly down, and, all inactive, sees 
 
 The righteous weak maltreated by the strong, 
 
 Who smile, and revel in their wickedness, 
 
 And walk with sunshine on the path of life, 
 
 Until they die like other men, and pass 
 
 Beyond the reach of retribution here. 
 
 It cannot be that God, all powerful, 
 
 Looks calmly down from heaven, and sees, 
 
 Inactive and unmoved, the countless crimes, 
 
 That man commits against his brother man, 
 
 That pass unpunished here : 
 
 His nameless cruelties against the brutes, 
 
 Who, speechless, still are capable of pain, 
 
 And which an all-embracing love must bring 
 
 Within the universal Fatherhood. 
 
 Is there another world, another life, 
 
 Where right shall triumph, and triumphant wrong 
 
 Shall find a retribution long delayed ; 
 
 And all the weak, and suffering, and oppressed, 
 
 For faults and follies not their own, shall find 
 
54 ANOTHER WORLD; ANOTHER LIFE. 
 
 A compensation for their earthly wrongs, 
 
 Within a world of universal peace ? 
 
 Eternal justice, throned within the hearts 
 
 Of men of every age and race and clime, 
 
 Proclaims there is ; or else there is no God. 
 
 So calm thy soul, perturbed child of earth, 
 
 While gazing heavenward through the mists of time 
 
 With eager, anxious, doubtful questionings ; 
 
 Another world, another life, is sure — 
 
 As sure as that a universal Mind 
 
 Created all we see, or know, or can conceive, 
 
 Or dream within these finite minds of ours. 
 
 For should some vain and blatant fool proclaim 
 
 " There is no God ! " 
 
 Though revelations of the olden time, 
 
 And all that Israelitish prophets wrote, 
 
 Or Jesus taught, in the Judean land, 
 
 Had never been ; or, in the flight of Time, 
 
 The wreck of empires, and the darkness of 
 
 The Middle Age, lost to an anxious world, 
 
 Had passed again to everlasting night, 
 
 And left the sons of earth to seek alone, 
 
 Unaided answers to their questionings : 
 
 Great Nature, vocal with a myriad tongues, 
 
ANOTHER WORLD ; ANOTHER LIFE. 55 
 
 In earth and in the universe of stars, 
 Would take again the vanished parable ; 
 And, waking echoes in the souls of men, 
 Would answer with an everlasting yea ! 
 And thunder that there is ! 
 
( 56 ) 
 
 THE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF 
 EARTH. 
 
 O sights of earth, that grieve the seeing eye ! 
 
 And sounds of earth, that shock the listening ear, 
 
 Of still and thought-creative solitude ! 
 
 Men well may feel that wonder, which is doubt, 
 
 If it be true that God, all powerful, 
 
 Can still be good, and yet, unmoved, can look 
 
 In silent calmness down, and see the sights 
 
 Of cruelty and woe, and hear the sounds 
 
 Of agonized and helpless bitterness, 
 
 That shock and horrify the minds of men, * 
 
 Nor raise the hand of His omnipotence 
 
 To right the wrongs, so oft unrighted here : — ■ 
 
 The wails of children, tortured for the sins 
 
 That others sinned, when they were yet unborn ; 
 
 The cripples, distanced in the race for bread, 
 
 Whose lives are but a long-drawn-out despair ; 
 
THE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF EARTH. 57 
 
 The maidens, reared without a thought of right, 
 
 Or truth, or purity, then harshly doomed, 
 
 By cold remorseless cruel circumstance, 
 
 To outcast lives of shame and hopelessness, 
 
 And outcast deaths, and early nameless graves ; 
 
 The righteous poor, oft starving at the gates 
 
 Of the unrighteous rich j the weak, oppressed 
 
 And tortured by the strong ; with smiling Heaven, 
 
 In silent calmness, looking down the while. 
 
 O wrongs ! O sins ! O nameless cruelties ! 
 
 O sights and sounds and echoes terrible, 
 
 That haunt the mind in wakeful solitude, 
 
 And fill the night with images of woe ! 
 
 Faith trembles, and I doubt if it be true 
 
 That God is good, and yet all powerful, 
 
 Until I go into the still cool night, 
 
 And stand alone, and turn from earth and look, 
 
 In silent awe, into the dome of heaven, 
 
 And see it bright with multitudinous stars, 
 
 And know that in that vault are myriads more, 
 
 By distance now to me invisible, 
 
 And lost in vast immeasurable space, 
 
 With all their circles of attendant worlds. 
 
 Then doubt is vanquished, and my trembling faith 
 
58 THE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF EARTH. 
 
 Is strong ; for then I cannot help but see, 
 
 How he is but a blind and crazy fool 
 
 Who thinks to judge Eternity by Time, 
 
 And God's omnipotence by things of earth. 
 
 For standing thus, in awe-struck thought, alone, 
 
 The centre of innumerable worlds, 
 
 The vast creation starts at once to life, 
 
 And night is vocal with a myriad tongues, 
 
 And tells how earth is but a speck of dust 
 
 Upon the universe of God, and time 
 
 A point in His eternity ; and how 
 
 In that eternity is time enough, 
 
 And in that endless universe is space, 
 
 To right the wrongs, and dry the tears, and bind 
 
 With loving hands the broken hearts, and heal 
 
 The wounds, and ample compensation give 
 
 For all the wrongs, of all His children here, 
 
 Who suffer woes without their own default. 
 
( 59 ) 
 
 GRASPING THE INFINITE. 
 
 I stood and looked into the starry dome 
 
 Above me, on a still and frosty night, 
 
 And tried, in thought, to soar from earth afar 
 
 Until I realized the infinite. 
 
 I found the magic of the mind that could, 
 
 Within the limits of experience, paint, 
 
 One moment, pictures of the distant past, 
 
 And, in the next, could compass half the world, 
 
 And be with friends at the antipodes ; 
 
 Fell dead, when I but sought to rise from earth 
 
 And penetrate the mystery of space. 
 
 I looked again into the starry deep, 
 
 And thought of those I loved, who, dead to earth, 
 
 Were living still, and had their dwelling-place 
 
 Amidst the wonder of eternal stars ; 
 
 And then the magic of the mind returned, 
 
60 GRASPING THE INFINITE. 
 
 And, in an instant, I could picture them, 
 Though farther than the smallest star within 
 The milky way was their celestial home ; 
 And in the infinite I instant found 
 A resting-place, and lived, in thought, with those, 
 The loved and lost, wherever they might be. 
 
( 6i ) 
 
 LOOKING BACK. 
 
 I stood upon the melancholy ridge 
 
 That marks the borderland of youth and age, 
 
 And, ere I took a step adown the slope 
 
 Of life's decline, that leads to failing powers, 
 
 Old age, and that strange evolution of the soul 
 
 That men call death, and sadly dwell upon 
 
 With childish and unreasonable fears, 
 
 I turned, and, looking backward on the road 
 
 That lay behind in panoramic view, 
 
 And clear in all its winding deviousness, 
 
 I saw how often seeming trivial things 
 
 Had turned my course aside, and made it what it 
 
 was : 
 The meeting, here, with one who looked a look, 
 Or spoke a word, that coloured all my life ; 
 The seeing, there, a scene that struck a chord 
 
62 LOOKING BACK. 
 
 Of thought, that in the chambers of the brain 
 Had wrought, and moulded mind and character. 
 And marking thus, with vision clear and true, 
 The turning-points of life and destiny, 
 I said, "There are no trifles in the lives 
 Of men ! for seeming trifles oft are powers 
 That act, with potent force, for weal or woe ; 
 And what is great or small we know not now, 
 Or what shall lead to weal or what to woe ; 
 But, in our blindness, this we surely know — 
 The happiest man is he who, doing right, 
 With childlike faith goes on, and, well content, 
 Leaves all the future in the hands of God." 
 
( 63 ) 
 
 THE BLACK-LETTER BIBLE. 
 
 I know a Bible, with its pages worn 
 
 By fingers, that have long returned to dust, 
 Of men and women with sad hearts forlorn 
 
 But for this book of universal trust 
 In God, and in an everlasting home 
 
 For men stout-hearted, who still upward climb, 
 Though oft bewildered, oft they sadly roam 
 
 Amongst the shadows of the " hills of time." 
 And when I see where men so oft have found 
 
 Sweet solaces to wipe away their tears, 
 And know them still. alive, I with a bound, 
 
 O'erleap the gulf of long dividing years, 
 And live in loving sympathy with those 
 Who long have passed away from earthly woes. 
 
( 64 ) 
 
 THE VOICES OF THE. FUTURE. 
 
 Brothers, do you hear the voices 
 That shall rule the time to be, 
 
 In the silence of the future, 
 Murmuring like a distant sea ? 
 
 Onward come the wakening peoples ! 
 
 Onward, like a rising tide ; 
 Onward, with a force resistless, 
 
 Sweeping obstacles aside. 
 
 Onward come the wakening peoples ! 
 
 Onward, like a mighty flood ; 
 On to universal conquest, 
 
 Guiltless of their brothers' blood. 
 
THE VOICES OF THE FUTURE. 65 
 
 Onward come the wakening peoples, 
 
 That shall hold the world in fee, 
 With the spirit of the ages, 
 
 Leading them to victory ! 
 
 Will it be for good, or evil, 
 
 That they sweep the barriers down — 
 Barriers that so long have held them, 
 
 Under ptince, and peer, and crown ? 
 
 If you want to read the future, 
 
 In the horoscope of Time, 
 And the destiny of peoples 
 
 As they ever upward climb ; — 
 
 If you want to read the future, 
 
 In the horoscope of Fate, 
 And the destiny of peoples, 
 
 Ere they thunder at the gate ; — 
 
 Listen, brothers, to the voices ; 
 
 Listen what the nations say, 
 As they come from feudal darkness, 
 
 Into democratic day. 
 
 F 
 
66 THE VOICES OF THE FUTURE. 
 
 Do they say " that self should triumph, 
 And that death, the end of life ; 
 
 Each should seek his own advantage, 
 In a cold and heartless strife ? " 
 
 If they do, the devils lead them, 
 From the good, and true, and fair, 
 
 Onward to a gulf of madness, 
 And a shiver of despair. 
 
 If they do, the devils lead them, 
 Onward to an endless curse ; 
 
 And the peoples rule the nations, 
 Ruling but to make them worse. 
 
 Brothers, listen ! for the voices 
 Tell a different tale to me : 
 
 I can hear, amidst the chaos, 
 " God," " Right," " Truth," " Eternity.' 
 
 Courage, tremblers ! courage, doubters ! 
 
 Jesus leads the coming van, 
 With a gentle voice, and earnest, 
 
 Preaching brotherhood of man ; 
 
THE VOICES OF THE FUTURE. 67 
 
 Preaching universal kindness ; 
 
 Preaching universal peace ; 
 In the wakening of the nations, 
 
 In the fettered world's release. 
 
 Courage, tremblers ! courage, doubters ! 
 
 More of heaven, and less of hell, 
 In the wakening of the peoples, 
 
 That is what the voices tell. 
 
( 68 ) 
 
 THE MONKS' DAFFODILS. 
 
 Men live for earth ; they think for earth ; 
 
 They fret themselves with earthly ills : 
 And yet they soon are less to earth 
 
 Than trees, and shrubs, and daffodils. 
 
 I know a field that, year by year, 
 
 Is brightened by these golden flowers ; 
 
 They come with each returning spring, 
 And revel in the April showers. 
 
 No sign is there that restless man 
 
 A habitation once had found ; 
 They bloom in lonely loveliness, 
 
 Where nature clothes the verdant ground. 
 
THE MONKS' DAFFODILS. 69 
 
 I asked an aged rustic why 
 
 These daffodils were blooming here, 
 When, searching all the country round, 
 
 No other daffodils were near. 
 
 He told me that a priory once 
 Stood in that lonely meadow-field, 
 
 For friars of the Roman Church 
 Their daily orisons to yield. 
 
 He said, " In ancient times, the monks 
 These beds of Lenten lilies grew, 
 
 To deck their church, at Eastertide, 
 With symbols, beautiful and new, 
 
 " Of that new life and that new hope 
 That brightened all our earthly gloom, 
 
 When Jesus burst the bonds of death, 
 And rose triumphant from the tomb. 
 
 " Their church and house, long ground to dust, 
 Lie on the neighbouring parish road ; 
 
 And now these daffodils alone 
 
 Show here was once the monks' abode. 
 
70 THE MONKS' DAFFODILS. 
 
 "A living link, they still unite 
 The present with the silent past ; 
 
 They still will live when you and I 
 
 On earthly things have looked our last." 
 
 "Then, friend," I said, "why live for earth? 
 
 Why fret ourselves with earthly ills, 
 When we shall soon be less to earth 
 
 Than trees, and shrubs, and daffodils ? " 
 
C 7i ) 
 
 ELEG Y IN A UTUMN. 
 
 I watched the setting autumn sun 
 
 Illume with fiery light 
 The western clouds, to herald in 
 
 The mystery of night ; 
 
 I saw the sad and leafless trees 
 Stand black against the sky, 
 
 Like grim and ghastly skeletons, 
 Tossing their arms on high, 
 
 As if, in agonies of pain, 
 
 They writhed in troubled sleep, 
 And wailed their vernal loveliness, 
 
 But could not find to weep. 
 
72 ELEGY IN~ A UTUMN. 
 
 Then dreamy thoughts passed over me 
 
 Of mingled joy and pain ; 
 Like clouds that are touched with sunshine, 
 
 And colours in the rain. 
 
 For I thought of other sleepers 
 
 Under the graveyard green, 
 Who had passed, a while before me, 
 
 Into the great unseen, 
 
 No sorrow of regretfulness 
 
 To break their dreamless sleep ; 
 
 For all that earth could keep of them 
 Was wrapt in slumber deep — 
 
 So deep, so calm, so beautiful, 
 
 That like the peace of God 
 Seemed the sleep that they were sleeping, 
 
 Under the graveyard sod. 
 
 And earth, a mother, lovingly, 
 
 From dangers and alarms, 
 But tenderly seemed to take them, 
 
 And fold them in her arms. 
 
ELEGY IN AUTUMN. 73 
 
 With lingering steps I slowly sought 
 
 The village graveyard near ; 
 And though the loved were sleeping there. 
 
 I did not shed a tear. 
 
 I did not shed a tear for those 
 
 Who, lost a while to view, 
 Had only journeyed through the mists, 
 
 To scenes of beauty new. 
 
 And, as I neared the sacred spot, 
 
 I heard a weird song 
 Arising from the earth below, 
 
 As if the graves among. 
 
 It came, and then it ceased a while, 
 
 'Midst lusty strokes of spade ; 
 It came again, and then it seemed 
 
 Amongst the graves to fade. 
 
 But when, at last, I heard the words 
 
 The aged sexton sang, 
 It seemed as if with fellow thoughts 
 
 The very graveyard rang. 
 
74 ELEGY IN AUTUMN. 
 
 For, bending at his lowly task, 
 Borne on the sighing breeze, 
 
 'Midst strokes of mattock and of spade, 
 The words I heard were these : — 
 
 " They say that mine's the saddest work 
 
 That ever yet was found ; 
 To see my friends fall one by one, 
 
 And put them in the ground. 
 
 " They wonder that I still can sing, 
 
 A sexton forty years, 
 When I have dug so many graves, 
 
 And seen so many tears. 
 
 " But mine is not the mournful task 
 
 The village maidens say ; 
 The house is all they bring to me, 
 
 The man has gone away ; 
 
 "A crazy cottage, at the best, 
 When he was tenant here, 
 
 It gave him shelter ; but its walls 
 Were stained with many a tear. 
 
ELEGY IN AUTUMN. 75 
 
 " He lived; and here he had his share 
 
 Of pleasure and of pain, 
 So mingled, and so sorrowful, 
 
 He would not live again. 
 
 " They said he died ; and yet, to me, 
 
 He only went away, 
 And still, beyond the shadows, lived 
 
 In never-ending day. 
 
 "To me, he only went away, 
 
 And sought another land, 
 Where friends and neighbours welcomed him, 
 
 A bright and smiling band ; 
 
 " Where those he best had known and loved, 
 
 Who journeyed there before, 
 With radiant faces welcomed him, 
 
 To part for nevermore. 
 
 " So, thus I sing, and dig my graves, 
 
 Till I shall journey too, 
 And all the misty shadows hide 
 
 Shall burst upon my view : 
 
76 ELEGY IN AUTUMN. 
 
 " So, thus I sing, and dig my graves, 
 Till men shall say, ' He dies,' 
 
 And I, no longer lost in mists, 
 Shall see realities." 
 
( 77 ) 
 
 THE VEILED MESSENGER. 
 
 I saw a ghostly figure walk 
 Amidst the ranks of life ; 
 
 At his approach, a stillness hushed 
 Its tumult and its strife. 
 
 With noiseless steps, and echoless, 
 The figure seemed to glide, 
 
 As I have seen a shadowed cloud 
 Upon a mountain side. 
 
 The figure walked so silently, 
 His footsteps left no sound, 
 
 To tell when he was close to you, 
 Upon the awe-struck ground. 
 
78 THE VEILED MESSENGER. 
 
 But prince and peer, when he drew near, 
 
 Who never bowed before, 
 Fell down and kissed their kindred dust. 
 
 And fell, to rise no more. 
 
 A mystic robe enveloped him 
 
 From head to silent feet ; 
 The figure only lifted it 
 
 To those he came to greet. 
 
 And those he greeted followed him 
 
 Into the world unseen ; 
 They looked at him and followed him 
 
 With strangely varied mien. 
 
 I saw him raise his robe to those 
 Whose lives were not of God ; 
 
 They looked at him, and started back, 
 But went the way he trod ; 
 
 They shrank with trembling horror back ; 
 
 His visage seemed to be, 
 To them, a grim and ghastly thing, 
 
 Too terrible to see. 
 
THE VEILED MESSENGER. 79 
 
 But when he came and greeted those 
 Whose lives were good and true, 
 
 They smiled, as if an angel face 
 Had floated into view ; 
 
 Such smiles of radiant loveliness 
 
 As I have never seen 
 But on the faces of the good, 
 
 When life and death between. 
 
 O strange mysterious messenger ! 
 
 Who calls to heaven or hell, 
 With demon face, or angel face, 
 
 As men live ill or well, 
 
 May I so live that, when my soul 
 
 Shall greeted be by thee, 
 Thy lifted robe may then disclose 
 
 Thy angel face to me.

 ODE IN A UTUMN. 
 
 I stood upon a grassy knoll 
 
 Upon an autumn day, 
 And saw the many coloured woods 
 
 Stretched out in bright array : 
 
 The woods in autumn ! — beautiful, 
 
 Beyond their vernal green ! 
 With tints of red, and brown, and gold, 
 
 And many shades between. 
 
 And yet the woods were dead and cold 
 
 Upon that autumn day ; 
 The beauty that enchanted me, 
 
 The beauty of decay": 
 
ODE IN AUTUMN. 
 
 Until a gleam of sunshine shot 
 
 Along the heavenly height, 
 And touched the dying woodlands with 
 
 The alchemy of light. 
 
 At once the brown and withered leaves 
 Were bright and glowing gold, 
 
 So gorgeous and so beautiful, 
 I could not think them old — 
 
 I could not think them old, 
 
 And falling fast to die, 
 So gorgeous and so beautiful, 
 
 Beneath the autumn sky. 
 
 And then I said, " O withered leaves ! 
 
 Whose day of life is done, 
 And yet, who look so beautiful 
 
 Beneath the Autumn sun, 
 
 " My day of life, though more prolonged, 
 
 Is hastening to its close, 
 And I, like you, in mother earth 
 
 Must find a long repose. 
 
 G 
 
82 ODE IN AUTUMN. 
 
 " My day of life, though more prolonged, 
 
 Like yours, is over soon ; 
 So let me seize the passing hour, 
 
 When life is at the noon ; 
 
 " And when my work of life is done, 
 
 And I must fall to die, 
 May kisses of celestial light 
 
 My dying glorify." 
 
( 8 3 ) 
 
 SNOW-FLAKES. 
 
 Snow-flakes softly, slowly falling, 
 Floating, frisking in the wind, 
 
 Leaving, with a half-reluctance, 
 Your aerial home behind. 
 
 Speak to me in language gentle ; 
 
 Tell me, snow-flakes, what you are, 
 Falling from the dreamy cloudland, 
 
 From the mystery afar. 
 
 " Like the things of life and nature, 
 Seen with eyesight clear or dim, 
 
 What we seem to every gazer, 
 That we are in truth to him. 
 
84 SNOW-FLAKES. 
 
 "We are but a means of frolic 
 To the schoolboy at his play ; 
 
 We are curses to the workman 
 Doomed to spend an idle day ; 
 
 " And to him who skims the surface 
 Of the things he sees around, 
 
 We are but a general whiteness, 
 Covering the naked ground. 
 
 " But to him who, looking deeper, 
 
 Sees us truly, as we are, 
 We are things of form and beauty, 
 
 Each a wondrous little star ; 
 
 " We are showers of heavenly flowers, 
 Falling from the fields of air ; 
 
 Evanescent indications 
 
 Of the perfect beauty there : 
 
 " And the lesson we are teaching, 
 Ere we vanish out of view, 
 
 Is to see in men and nature, 
 Not the seeming, but the true; 
 
SNOW-FLAKES. 85 
 
 " Looking deep below the surface 
 For the beautiful and fair, 
 
 With a steadfast faith, and earnest, 
 That the beautiful is there ; 
 
 " Looking for a soul of beauty, 
 Dimly, dimly understood ; 
 
 Listening to celestial whisperings 
 Of a universal good — 
 
 " Good in men, and good in nature, 
 Good in life, and everything, 
 
 In a universe of beauty, 
 
 And a never-ending Spring." 
 
( 86 ) 
 
 THE WINTER STORM. 
 
 O snow, so bright, so beautiful ! 
 
 O wondrously woven dress ! 
 Descending from the loom of heaven 
 
 To cover Nature's nakedness. 
 
 forms fantastic ! strangely traced 
 By frost upon the window-pane, 
 
 And wrought to scenes of fairyland, 
 Within the workshop of the brain. 
 
 1 love you, as I ever love 
 
 The beautiful in land and sea, 
 And in the cloudy forms that float 
 In shapes majestic over me. 
 
 Dare I rejoice that you are here, 
 Or wish a beauty to remain, 
 
 That saddens creatures bound to me 
 By brotherhood of life and pain ? 
 
THE WINTER STORM. 87 
 
 Dare I rejoice ? No, no ! not so ! 
 For many a bird, with drooping wing, 
 
 And famine in its sunken eye, 
 Sits sadly near a leafless hedge, 
 
 In silent misery to die. 
 
 Dare I rejoice? No, no ! not so ! 
 For many a hungry brother man, 
 
 With hungry children weeping round, 
 Sits listless by a dying fire ; 
 
 Starvation in the frozen ground. 
 
 Dare I rejoice ? No, no ! not so ! 
 For, on the crowded road of life, 
 
 Full many a traveller, bowed with age, 
 Will fall and die, who might have gone 
 
 In peace another easy stage. 
 
 Dare I rejoice? No, no ! not so ! 
 I dare not sin so great a sin, 
 
 And, bannered selfishness unfurled, 
 In cruel isolation live, 
 
 A monster in an empty world. 
 
THE DEATH OF LOVE. 
 
 O Death, supremely terrible 
 
 In any shape or form — 
 In peace, or in the agony 
 
 Of battle-field or storm ! 
 
 O Death ! O birth to higher life ! 
 
 O gate of the unknown, 
 That every child of man must pass, 
 
 Mysteriously alone ! 
 
 We dread thee not for parting pains, 
 
 Or horrors of the tomb, 
 Thou undiscovered mystery, 
 
 Thou universal doom ! 
 
THE DEATH OF LOVE. 89 
 
 We dread thee not for shutting up 
 
 The fateful book of life ; 
 For oft it tells a chequered tale 
 
 Of weariness and strife. 
 
 We dread thee for the cruelty 
 
 Of life-enduring pains, 
 Of sundered souls, that Love would bind 
 
 With adamantine chains. 
 
 But Love can leap the shadowy gulf, 
 
 If it be strong and true ; 
 And bind together faithful hearts, 
 
 Though one is lost to view. 
 
 Yes ! Love can leap the gulf between 
 
 Eternity and Time, 
 And bind together faithful hearts 
 
 In sympathy sublime. 
 * * * * 
 
 There is a death more terrible 
 
 Than death of wife or child — 
 A death to which the aching heart 
 
 Is never reconciled ; 
 
90 THE DEATH OF LOVE. 
 
 A death that knows no charnel-house, 
 
 No horrors of the tomb ; 
 A death in life ; a living death ; 
 
 A dark and hopeless doom ; 
 
 A death that sunders human souls, 
 And sunders them for ever ; 
 
 A death whose ashes of regret 
 Can be rekindled never ; 
 
 A death whose withered hopelessness, 
 Like leaves upon the ground, 
 
 The winds of life but sigh upon, 
 With sad and sorrowing sound ; 
 
 A death that has no recompense, 
 In earth, or heaven above : 
 
 The death that kills the balm of death- 
 The death, the death, of Love. 
 
( 9i ) 
 
 STRICKEN FACES. 
 
 As travellers through a land unknown 
 Take note of things they chance to find 
 
 That, strange or beautiful, are fit 
 To be possessions of the mind, 
 
 And stores of thoughts and memories, 
 Within the chambers of the brain, 
 
 For bankrupt life to draw upon 
 And bring its pleasures back again, 
 
 So I, a traveller through a world 
 Of many-sided life and thought, 
 
 Watch faces on whose painfulness 
 The agonies of earth have wrought 
 
92 STRICKEN FACES. 
 
 Sad mirrored pictures of the storms, 
 And living records of the strife 
 
 Of passions, that have swept the strings, 
 Half broken, of the harp of life, 
 
 And when I see a face that looks 
 On scenes of festival and mirth 
 
 With listless eyes, as one who has 
 No part in revelries of earth, — 
 
 Like some sad soul that gazes from 
 The land of hopelessness and tears, 
 
 Across the gulf impassable, 
 
 On joys it knew in happier years, — 
 
 My deepest tenderness is touched, 
 And pity, that is love Divine, 
 
 Fans high the purifying fires 
 That cleanse the soul, and shine 
 
 Upon our poor mortality, 
 
 And make it like to God, and purge 
 Its dross of selfishness away, 
 
 And with a mighty impulse urge 
 
STRICKEN FACES. 93 
 
 It forward on the road to heaven, 
 
 To find, in hope's fruition there, 
 Where perfect beauty reigns supreme 
 
 And perfect love is everywhere, 
 
 The richest treasures of the soul 
 That live through its eternal years, 
 
 Are memories of pity's deeds 
 Done in its pilgrimage of tears. 
 
( 94 ) 
 
 THE POWER OF LOVE. 
 
 I saw a lyre in a neglected room, 
 Its music mute, and dust upon its strings ; 
 And all around it were insensate things 
 With beauty but no soul, no life, no bloom 
 Of warm and breathing loveliness ; the gloom 
 Of death was over them ; emotion's springs 
 Were still, and to my sad imaginings 
 They seemed like relics in an ancient tomb. 
 
 A woman came, and gently touched the lyre 
 With sympathetic tenderness, and lo — 
 Transfiguration breathed around, and then 
 The dust of death glowed with celestial fire 
 To life and soul and loveliness : and so 
 The ministrel Love transfigures earth and men. 
 
( 95 ) 
 
 WHENCE AND WHITHER? 
 
 Life is a wave that comes from the unknown 
 Vast ocean of eternal power and thought 
 That, with the elements of earth inwrought, 
 Rolls proudly onward in the little zone 
 Of time and sense, with mind and feeling sown 
 Upon its breast, and, in its swelling, brought 
 To an intensity of power that ought 
 To fix them on an everlasting throne. 
 
 And then — the wave majestically breaks, 
 But stirs the shingles scattered on the shore 
 Of Time ; with feebler force it breaks again, 
 Then rolls with all the hopes and powers it bore 
 Back to the vast immeasurable main. 
 
WHENCE AND WHITHER i 
 
 II. 
 
 When billows break and boom upon the shore, 
 They disappear in clouds of misty spray 
 That whiten all the rocks — then fade away. 
 A moment longer — and the answering roar 
 Of echoes, wakened on the ocean floor, 
 Has ceased, and then the wave has had its day 
 Of life and beauty ; but with no delay, 
 In other forms, its force lives evermore. 
 
 So when a wave of human life and thought, 
 That rolls to earth from the eternal main, 
 Breaks on the shore, and, breaking, disappears ; 
 The spirit that engendered it, and wrought 
 Such wonders with its elements, again 
 Takes form and lives eternal in the spheres.
