DEDICATION. 
 
 TO EDWARD JOHN TRELAWNY. 
 
 A sea-mew on a sea-king's wrist alighting, 
 
 As the north sea-wind caught and strained and curled 
 The raven-figured flag that led men fighting 
 
 From field to green field of the water-world, 
 Might find such brief high favour at his hand 
 
 For wings imbrued with brine, with foam impearled, 
 As these my songs require at yours on land, 
 
 That durst not save for love's free sake require, 
 Being lightly born between the foam an d sand, 
 
 But reared by hope and memory and desire 
 Of lives that were and Ufe thai is to be, 
 
 Even such as filled his heavenlier song with fire 
 ■ Whose very voice, that sang to set man free, 
 
 Was in your ears as ever in ours his lyre, 
 Once, ere the flame received him from the sea. 
 
THALASSIUS 
 
 B 
 
THALASSIUS. 
 
 Upon the flowery forefront of the year, 
 One wandering by the grey-green April sea 
 Found on a reach of shingle and shallower sand 
 Inlaid with starrier glimmering jewellery 
 Left for the sun's love and the light wind's cheer 
 Along the foam-flowered strand 
 Breeze-brightened, something nearer sea than land 
 Though the last shoreWard blossom-fringe was near, 
 A babe asleep with flower-soft face that gleamed 
 To sun and seaward as it laughed and dreamed, 
 Too sure of either love for either's fear, 
 Albeit so birdlike slight and light, it seemed 
 
 B2 
 
4 THALASSIUS. 
 
 Nor man nor mortal child of man, but fair 
 
 As even its twin-bom tenderer spray-flowers were, 
 
 That the wind scatters like an Oread's hair. 
 
 For when July strewed fire on earth and sea 
 The last time ere that year, 
 Out of the flame of morn Cymothoe 
 Beheld one brighter than the sunbright sphere 
 Move toward her from its fieriest heart, whence trod 
 The live sun's very God, 
 Across the foam-bright water-ways that are 
 As heavenlier heavens with star for answering star, 
 And on her eyes and hair and maiden mouth 
 Felt a kiss falling fierier than the South 
 And heard above afar 
 
 A noise of songs and wind-enamoured wings 
 And lutes and lyres of milder and mightier strings, 
 
THALASS1US. 5 
 
 And round the resonant radiance of his car 
 
 Where depth is one with height, 
 
 Light heard as music, music seen as light 
 
 And with that second moondawn of the spring's 
 
 That fosters the first rose, 
 
 A sun-child whiter than the sunlit snows 
 
 Was born out of the world of sunless things 
 
 That round the round earth flows and ebbs and flows. 
 
 But he that found the sea-flower by the sea 
 And took to foster like a graft of earth 
 Was born of man's most highest and heavenliest birth, 
 Free-born as winds and stars and waves are free ; 
 A warrior grey with glories more than years; 
 Though more of years than change the quick to dead ' 
 Had rained their light and darkness on his head 
 A singer that in time's and memory's ears 
 
THALASSIUS. , 
 
 Should leave such words to sing as all his peers 
 Might praise with hallowing heat of rapturous tears 
 
 Till all the days of human flight were fled. 
 
 And at his knees his fosterling was fed 
 
 Not with man's wine and bread 
 
 Nor mortal mother-milk of hopes and fears, 
 
 But food of deep memorial days long sped j 
 
 For bread with wisdom and with song for wine 
 
 Clear as the full calm's emerald hyaline. 
 
 And from his grave glad lips the boy would gather 
 
 Fine honey of song-notes goldener than gold, 
 
 More sweet than bees make of the breathing heather, 
 
 That he, as glad and bold, 
 
 Might drink as they, and keep his spirit from cold, 
 
 And the boy loved his laurel-laden hair 
 
 As his own father's risen on the eastern air, 
 
 And that less white brow-binding bayleaf bloom 
 
THALASSIUS. 7 
 
 More than all flowers his father's eyes relume ; 
 
 And those high songs he heard, 
 
 More than all notes of any landward bird, 
 
 More than all sounds less free 
 
 Than the wind's quiring to the choral sea. 
 
 High things the high song taught him ; how the breath 
 Too frail for life may be more strong than death ; 
 And this poor flash of sense in life, that gleams 
 As a ghost's glory in dreams, 
 More stabile than the world's own heart's root seems, 
 By that strong faith of lordliest love which gives 
 To death's own sightless-seeming eyes a light 
 Clearer, to death's bare bones a verier might, 
 Than shines or strikes from any man that lives. 
 How he that loves life overmuch shall die 
 The dog's death, utterly ; 
 
8 THALASSIUS. 
 
 And he that much less loves it than he hates 
 
 All wrongdoing that is done 
 
 Anywhere always underneath the sun 
 
 Shall live a mightier life than time's or fate's. 
 
 One fairer thing he shewed him, and in might 
 
 More strong than day and night 
 
 Whose strengths build up time's towering period : 
 
 Yea, one thing stronger and more high than God, 
 
 Which if man had not, then should God not be : 
 
 And that was Liberty. 
 
 And gladly should man die to gain, he said, 
 
 Freedom ; and gladlier, having lost, lie dead. 
 
 For man's earth was not, nor the sweet sea-waves 
 
 His, nor his own land, nor its very graves, 
 
 Except they bred not, bore not, hid not slaves: 
 
 But all of all that is, 
 
 Were one man free in body and soul, were his. 
 
THALASSIUS. 9 
 
 And the song softened, even as heaven by night 
 Softens, from sunnier down to starrier light, 
 And with its moonbright breath 
 Blessed life for death's sake, and for life's sake death. 
 Till as the moon's own beam and breath confuse 
 In one clear hueless haze of glimmering hues 
 The sea's line and the land's line and the sky's, 
 And light for love of darkness almost dies, 
 As darkness only lives for light's dear love, 
 Whose hands the web of night is woven of : 
 So in that heaven of wondrous words were life 
 And death brought out of strife ; 
 Yea, by that strong spell of serene increase 
 Brought out of strife to peace. 
 
 And the song lightened, as the wind at morn 
 Flashes, and even with lightning of the wind 
 
io THALASS1US. 
 
 Night's thick-spun web is thinned 
 And all its weft unwoven and overworn 
 Shrinks, as might love from scorn. 
 And as when wind and light on water and land 
 Leap as twin gods from heavenward hand in hand, 
 And with the sound and splendour of their leap 
 Strike darkness dead, and daunt the spirit of sleep, 
 And burn it up with fire ; 
 So with the light that lightened from the lyre 
 . Was all the bright heat in the child's heart stirred 
 And blown with blasts of music into flame 
 Till even his sense became 
 Fire, as the sense that fires the singing bird 
 Whose song calls night by name. 
 And in the soul within the sense began 
 The manlike passion of a godlike man, 
 And in the sense within the soul again 
 
THALASSIUS. n 
 
 Thoughts that make men of gods and gods of men. 
 
 For love the high song taught him : love that turnn 
 God's heart toward man as man's to Godward ; love 
 That life and death and life are fashioned of, 
 From the first breath that bums 
 Half kindled on the flowerlike, yeanling's lip, 
 So light and faint that life seems like to slip, 
 To that yet weaklier drawn 
 When sunset dies of night's devouring dawri 
 But the man dying not wholly as all men dies 
 If aught be left of his in live men's eyes 
 Out of the dawnless dark of death to rise ; 
 If aught of deed or word 
 Be seen for all time or of all time heard. 
 Love, that though body and soul were overthrown 
 Should live for love's sake of itself alone, 
 
i2 THALASSIUS. 
 
 Though spirit and flesh were one thing doomed and dead, 
 
 Not wholly annihilated. 
 
 Seeing even the hoariest ash-flake that the pyre 
 
 Drops, and forgets the thing was once afire 
 
 And gave its heart to feed the pile's full flame 
 
 Till its own heart its own heat overcame, 
 
 Outlives its own life, though by scarce a span, 
 
 As such men dying outlive themselves in man, 
 
 Outlive themselves for ever ; if the heat 
 
 Outburn the heart that kindled it, the sweet 
 
 Outlast the flower whose soul it was, and flit 
 
 Forth of the body of it 
 
 Into some new shape of a strange perfume 
 
 More potent than its light live spirit of bloom, 
 
 How shall not something of that soul relive, 
 
 That only soul that had such gifts to give 
 
 As lighten something even of all men's doom 
 
THALASSIUS. 13 
 
 Even from the labouring womb 
 Even to the seal set on the unopening tomb ? 
 And these the loving light of song and love 
 Shall wrap and lap round and impend above, 
 Imperishable ; and all springs born illume 
 Their sleep with brighter thoughts than wake the dove 
 To music, when the hillside winds resume 
 The marriage-song of heather-flower and broom 
 And all the joy thereof. 
 
 And hate the song too taught him : hate of all 
 That brings or holds in thrall 
 Of spirit or flesh, free-born ere God began, 
 The holy body and sacred soul of man. 
 And wheresoever a curse was or a chain, 
 A throne for torment or a crown for bane 
 Rose, moulded out of poor men's molten pain, 
 
14 THALASS1US. 
 
 There, said he, should man's heaviest hate be set 
 
 Inexorably, to faint not or forget 
 
 Till the last warmth bled forth of the last vein 
 
 In flesh that none should call a king's again, 
 
 Seeing wolves and dogs and birds that plague-strike air 
 
 Leave the last bone of all the carrion bare. 
 
 And hope the high song taught him: hope whose eyes 
 Can sound the seas unsoundable, the skies 
 Inaccessible of eyesight ; that can see 
 What earth beholds not, hear what wind and sea 
 Hear not, and speak what all these crying in one 
 Can speak not to the sun. 
 For in her sovereign eyelight all things are 
 Clear as the closest seen and kindlier star 
 That marries morn and even and winter and spring 
 With one love's golden ring. 
 
THALASSIVS. 15 
 
 For she can see the days of man, the birth 
 
 Of good and death of evil things on earth 
 
 Inevitable and infinite, and sure 
 
 As present pain is, or herself is pure. 
 
 Yea, she can hear and see, beyond all things 
 
 That lighten from before Time's thunderous wings 
 
 Through the awful circle of wheel-winged periods, 
 
 The tempest of the twilight of all Gods : 
 
 And higher than all the circling course they ran 
 
 The sundawn of the spirit that was man. 
 
 And fear the song too taught him; fear to be 
 Worthless the dear love of the wind and sea 
 That bred him fearless, like a sea-mew reared 
 In rocks of man's foot feared, 
 Where nought of wingless life may sing or shine. 
 Fear to wax worthless of that heaven he had 
 
16 THALASSIUS. 
 
 When all the life in all his limbs was glad 
 
 And all the drops in all his veins were wine 
 
 And all the pulses music ; when his heart, 
 
 Singing, bade heaven and wind and sea bear part 
 
 In one live song's reiterance, and they bore : 
 
 Fear to go crownless of the flower he wore 
 
 When the winds loved him and the waters knew, 
 
 The blithest life that clove their blithe life through 
 
 With living limbs exultant, or held strife 
 
 More amorous than all dalliance aye anew 
 
 With the bright breath and strength of their large life, 
 
 With all strong wrath of all sheer winds that blew, 
 
 All glories of all storms of the air that fell 
 
 Prone, neluctable, 
 
 With roar from heaven of revel, and with hue 
 
 As of a heaven turned hell. 
 
 For when the red blast of their breath had made 
 
THALASSIUS. 17 
 
 All heaven aflush with Kght more dire than shade, 
 He felt it in his blood and eyes and hair 
 Burn as if all the fires of the earth and air 
 Had laid strong hold upon his flesh, and stung 
 The soul behind it as with serpent's tongue, 
 Forked like the loveliest lightnings : nor could bear 
 But hardly, half distraught with strong delight, 
 The joy that like a garment wrapped him round 
 And lapped him over and under 
 With raiment of great light 
 And rapture of great sound 
 At every loud leap earthward of the thunder 
 From heaven's most furthest bound : 
 So seemed all heaven in hearing and in sight, 
 Alive and mad with glory and angry joy, 
 That something of its marvellous mirth and might 
 Moved even to madness, fledged as even for flight, 
 c 
 
18 THALASSIUS. 
 
 The blood and spirit of one but mortal boy. 
 
 So, clothed with love and fear that love makes great, 
 And armed with hope and hate, 
 He set first foot upon the spring-flowered ways 
 That all feet pass and praise. 
 And one dim dawn between the winter and spring, 
 In the sharp harsh wind harrying heaven and earth 
 To put back April that had borne his birth 
 From sunward on her sunniest shower-struck wing, 
 With tears and laughter for the dew-dropt thing, 
 Slight as indeed a dew-drop, by the sea 
 One met him lovelier than all men may be, 
 God-featured, with god's eyes ; and in their might 
 Somewhat that drew men's own to mar their sight, 
 Even of all eyes drawn toward him : and his mouth 
 Was as the very rose of all men's youth, 
 
THALASSIUS. 19 
 
 One rose of all the rose-beds in the world: 
 
 But round his brows the curls were snakes that 
 
 curled, 
 And like his tongue a serpent's ; and his voice 
 Speaks death, and bids rejoice. 
 Yet then he spake no word, seeming as dumb, 
 A dumb thing mild and hurtless ; nor at first 
 From his bowed eyes seemed any light to come, 
 Nor his meek lips for blood or tears to thirst : 
 But as one blind and mute in mild sweet wise 
 Pleading for pity of piteous lips and eyes, 
 He strayed with faint bare lily-lovely feet 
 Helpless, and flowerlike sweet : 
 Nor might man see, not having word hereof, 
 That this of all gods was the great god Love, 
 
 And seeing him lovely and like a little child 
 
 C2 
 
20 THALASSIUS. 
 
 That wellnigh wept for wonder that it smiled 
 And was so feeble and fearful, with soft speech 
 The youth bespake him softly ; but there fell 
 From the sweet lips no sweet word audible 
 That ear or thought might reach : 
 No sound to make the dim cold silence glad, 
 No breath to thaw the hard harsh air with heat ; 
 Only the saddest smile of all things sweet, 
 Only the sweetest smile of all things sad 
 
 And so they went together one green way 
 Till April dying made free the world for May ; 
 And on his guide suddenly Love's face turned, 
 And in his blind eyes burned 
 ,Hard light and heat of laughter ; and like flame 
 That opens in a mountain's ravening mouth 
 To blear and sear the sunlight from the south, 
 
THALASSIUS. 21 
 
 His mute mouth opened, and his first word came : 
 ' Knowest thou me now by name ? ' 
 And all his stature waxed immeasurable, 
 As of one shadowing heaven and lightening hell ; 
 And statelier stood he than a tower that stands 
 And darkens with its darkness far-off sands 
 Whereon the sky leans red ; 
 And with a voice that stilled the winds he said : 
 ' I am he that was thy lord before thy birth, 
 1 am he that is thy lord till thou turn earth : 
 I make the night more dark, and all the morrow 
 Dark as the night whose darkness was my breath : 
 O fool, my name is sorrow ; 
 Thou fool, my name is death' 
 
 And he that heard spake not, and looked right on 
 Again, and Love was gone. 
 
22 THALASSIUS. 
 
 Through many a night toward many a wearier day 
 His spirit bore his body down its way. 
 Through many a day toward many a wearier night 
 His soul sustained his sorrows in her sight 
 And earth was bitter, and heaven, and even the sea 
 Sorrowful even as he. 
 
 And the wind helped not, and the sun was dumb ; 
 And with too long strong stress of grief to be 
 His heart grew sere and numb. 
 
 And one bright eve ere summer in autumn sank 
 At stardawn standing on a grey sea-bank 
 He felt the wind fitfully shift and heave 
 As toward a stormier eve ; 
 And all the wan wide sea shuddered ; and earth 
 Shook underfoot as toward some timeless birth, 
 Intolerable and inevitable ; and all 
 
THALASSIUS. 23 
 
 Heaven, darkling, trembled like a stricken thrall. 
 
 And far out of the quivering east, and far 
 
 From past the moonrise and its guiding star, 
 
 Began a noise of tempest and a light 
 
 That was not of the lightning ; and a sound 
 
 Rang with it round and round 
 
 That was not of the thunder ; and a flight 
 
 As of blown clouds by night, 
 
 That was not of them ; and with songs and cries 
 
 That sang and shrieked their soul out at the skies 
 
 A shapeless earthly storm of shapes began 
 
 From all ways round to move in on the man, 
 
 Clamorous against him silent ; and their feet 
 
 Were as the wind's are fleet, 
 
 And their shrill songs were as wild birds' are sweet. 
 
 And as when all the world of earth was wronged 
 
24 THALASSIUS. 
 
 And all the host of all men driven afoam 
 
 By the red hand 'of Rome, 
 
 Round some fierce amphitheatre overthronged 
 
 With fair clear faces full of bloodier lust 
 
 Than swells and stings the tiger when his mood 
 
 Is fieriest after blood 
 
 And drunk with trampling of the murderous must 
 
 That soaks and stains the tortuous close-coiled wood 
 
 Made monstrous with its myriad-mustering brood, 
 
 Face by fair face panted and gleamed and pressed, 
 
 Ahd breast by passionate breast 
 
 Heaved hot with ravenous rapture, as they quaffed 
 
 The red ripe full fume of the deep live draught, 
 
 The sharp quick reek of keen fresh bloodshed, blown 
 
 Through the dense deep drift up to the emperor's throne 
 
 From the under steaming sands 
 
 With clamour of all-applausive throats and hands, 
 
TBALASSIUS. 25 
 
 Mingling in mirthful time 
 
 With shrill blithe mockeries of the lithe-limbed mime : 
 
 So from somewhence far forth of the unbeholden, 
 
 Dreadfully driven from over and after and under, 
 
 Fierce, blown through fifes of brazen blast and golden, 
 
 With sound of chiming waves that drown the thunder 
 
 Or thunder that strikes dumb the sea's own chimes, 
 
 Began the bellowing of the bull-voiced mimes, 
 
 Terrible ; firs bowed down as briars or palms 
 
 Even at the breathless blast as of a breeze 
 
 Fulfilled with clamour and clangour and storms of 
 
 psalms ; 
 Red hands rent up the roots of oldworld trees, 
 Thick flames of torches tossed as tumbling seas 
 Made mad the moonless and infuriate air 
 That, ravening, revelled in the riotous hair 
 And raiment of the furred Bassarides. 
 
26 THALASSIUS. 
 
 So came all those in on him ; and his heart, 
 As out of sleep suddenly struck astart, 
 Danced, and his flesh took fire of theirs, and grief 
 Was as a last year's leaf 
 
 Blown dead far down the wind's way ; and he set 
 His pale mouth to the brightest mouth it met 
 That laughed for love against his lips, and bade 
 Follow ; and in following all his blood grew glad 
 And as again a sea-bird's ; for the wind 
 Took him to bathe him deep round breast and brow 
 Not as it takes a dead leaf drained and thinned, 
 But as the brightest bay-flower blown on bough, 
 Set springing toward it singing : and they rode 
 By many a vine-leafed, many a rose-hung road, 
 Exalt with exultation ; many a night 
 Set all its stars upon them as for spies 
 On many a moon-bewildering mountain-height 
 
THALASSIUS. 27 
 
 Where he rode only by the fierier light, 
 Of his dread lady's hot sweet hungering eyes. 
 For the moon wandered witless of her way, 
 Spell-stricken by strong magic in such wise 
 As wizards use to set the stars astray. 
 And in his ears the music that makes mad 
 Beat always ; and what way the music bade, 
 That alway rode he ; nor was any sleep 
 His, nor from height nor- deep. 
 But heaven was as red iron, slumberless, 
 And had no heart to bless ; 
 And earth lay sere and darkling as distraught, 
 And help in her was nought 
 
 Then many a midnight, many a morn and even, 
 His mother, passing forth of her fair heaven, 
 With goodlier gifts than all save gods can give 
 
28 THALASSIUS. 
 
 From earth or from the heaven where sea-things live, 
 
 With shine of sea-flowers through the bay-leaf braid 
 
 Woven for a crown her foam-white hands had made 
 
 To crown him with land's laurel and sea-dew, 
 
 Sought the sea-bird that was her boy : but he 
 
 Sat panther-throned beside Erigone, 
 
 Riding the red ways of the revel through 
 
 Midmost of pale-mouthed passion's crownless crew. 
 
 Till on some winter's dawn of some dim year 
 
 He let the vine-bit on the panther's lip 
 
 Slide, and the green rein slip, 
 
 And set his eyes to seaward, nor gave ear 
 
 If sound from landward hailed him, dire or dear ; 
 
 And passing forth of all those fair fierce ranks 
 
 Back to the grey sea-banks, 
 
 Against a sea-rock lying, aslant the steep, 
 
 Fell after many sleepless dreams on sleep. 
 
THALASSIUS. 29 
 
 And in his sleep the dun green light was shed 
 Heavily round his head 
 That through the veil of sea falls fathom-deep, 
 Blurred like a lamp's that when the night drops dead 
 Dies ; and his eyes gat grace of sleep to see 
 The deep divine dark dayshine of the sea, 
 Dense water-walls and clear dusk water-ways, 
 Broad-based, or branching as a sea-flower sprays 
 That side or this dividing ; and anew 
 The glory of all her glories that he knew. 
 And in sharp rapture of recovering tears 
 He woke on fire with yearnings of old years, 
 Pure as one purged of pain that passion bore, 
 111 child of bitter mother ; for his own 
 Looked laughing toward him from her midsea throne, 
 Up toward him there ashore. 
 
3 o THALASSIUS. 
 
 Thence in his heart the great same joy began, 
 Of child that made him man : 
 And turned again from all hearts else on quest, 
 He communed with his own heart, and had rest 
 And like sea- winds upon loud waters ran- 
 His days and dreams together, till the joy 
 Burned in him of the boy. 
 
 Till the earth's great comfort and the sweet sea's breath 
 Breathed and blew life in where was heartless death, 
 Death spirit-stricken of soul-sick days, where strife 
 Of thought and flesh made mock of death and life. 
 And grace returned upon -him of his birth 
 Where heaven was mixed with heavenlike sea and earth ; 
 And song shot forth strong wings that took the sun 
 From inward, fledged with might of sorrow and mirth 
 And father's fire made mortal in his son. 
 Nor was not spirit of strength in blast and breeze 
 
THALASSIUS. 31 
 
 To exalt again the sun's child and the sea's ; 
 
 For as wild mares in Thessaly grow great 
 
 With child of ravishing winds, that violate 
 
 Their leaping length of limb with manes like fire 
 
 And eyes outburning heaven's 
 
 With fires more violent than the lightning levin's 
 
 And breath drained out and desperate of desire, 
 
 Even so the spirit in him, when winds grew strong, 
 
 Grew great with child of song. 
 
 Nor less than when his veins first leapt for joy 
 
 To draw delight in such as burns a boy, 
 
 Now too the soul of all his senses felt 
 
 The passionate pride of deep sea-pulses dealt 
 
 Through nerve and jubilant vein 
 
 As from the love and largess of old time, 
 
 And with his heart again 
 
 The tidal throb of all the tides keep rhyme 
 
32 THALASSIUS. 
 
 And charm him from his own soul's separate sense 
 With infinite and invasive influence 
 That made strength sweet in him and sweetness strong, 
 Being now no more a singer, but a song. 
 
 Till one clear day when brighter sea-wind blew 
 And louder sea-shine lightened, for the waves 
 Were full of godhead and the light that saves, 
 His father's, and their spirit had pierced him through, 
 He felt strange breath and light all round him shed 
 That bowed him down with rapture ; and he knew 
 His father's hand, hallowing his humbled head, 
 And the old great voice of the old good time, that said : 
 
 ' Child of my sunlight and the sea, from birth 
 A fosterling and fugitive on earth ; 
 Sleepless of soul as wind or wave or fire, 
 
THALASSIUS. 33 
 
 A manchild with an ungrown God's desire ; 
 Because thou hast loved nought mortal more than me, 
 Thy father, and thy mother-hearted sea ; 
 Because thou hast set thine heart to sing, and sold 
 Life and life's love for song, God's living gold ; 
 Because thou hast given thy flower and fire of youth 
 To feed men's hearts with visions, truer than truth ; 
 Because thou hast kept in those world-wandering eyes 
 The light that makes me music of the skies ; 
 Because thou hast heard with world-unwearied ears 
 The music that puts light into the spheres ; 
 Have therefore in thine heart and in thy mouth 
 The sound of song that mingles north and south, 
 The song of all the winds that sing of me, 
 And in thy soul the sense of all the sea.'

 ON THE CLIFFS. 
 
 Sappho. 
 
 Between the moondawn and the sundown here 
 The twilight hangs half starless ; half the sea 
 Still quivers as for love or pain or fear 
 Or pleasure mightier than these all may be 
 A man's live heart might beat 
 Wherein a God's with mortal blood should meet 
 And fill its pulse too full to bear the strain 
 With fear or love or pleasure's twin-born, pain. 
 Fiercely the gaunt woods to the grim soil cling 
 That bears for all fair fruits 
 
38 ON THE CLIFFS. 
 
 Wan wild sparse flowers of windy and wintry spring 
 
 Between the tortive serpent-shapen roots 
 
 Wherethrough their dim growth hardly strikes and shoots 
 
 And shews one gracious thing 
 
 Hardly, to speak for summer one sweet word 
 
 Of summer's self scarce heard. 
 
 But higher the steep green sterile fields, thick-set 
 
 With flowerless hawthorn even to the upward verge 
 
 Whence the woods gathering watch new cliffs emerge 
 
 / 
 Higher than their highest of crowns /that sea-winds fret, 
 
 Hold fast, for all that night or wind can say, 
 
 Some pale pure colour yet, 
 
 Too dim for green and luminous for grey. 
 
 Between the climbing inland cliffs above 
 
 And these beneath that breast and break the bay, 
 
 A barren peace too soft for hate or love 
 
 Broods on an hour too dim for night or day. 
 
ON THE CLIFFS. 39 
 
 O wind, O wingless wind that walk'st the sea, 
 
 Weak wind, wing-broken, wearier wind than we, 
 
 Who are yet not spirit-broken, maimed like thee 
 
 Who wail not in our inward night as thou 
 
 In the outer darkness now, 
 
 What word has the old sea given thee for mine ear 
 
 From thy faint lips to hear ? 
 
 For some word would she send me, knowing not how. 
 
 Nay, what far other word 
 
 Than ever of her was spoken, or of me 
 
 Or all my winged white kinsfolk of the sea 
 
 Between fresh wave and wave was ever heard, 
 
 Cleaves the clear dark enwinding tree with tree 
 
 Too close for stars to separate and to see 
 
 Enmeshed in multitudinous unity ? 
 
4 o ON THE CLIFFS. 
 
 What voice of what strong God hath stormed and stirred 
 
 The fortressed rock of silence, rent apart 
 
 Even to the core Night's all-maternal heart ? 
 
 What voice of God grown heavenlier in a bird, 
 
 Made keener of edge to smite 
 
 Than lightning, — yea, thou knowest, O mother Night, 
 
 Keen as that cry from thy strange children sent 
 
 Wherewith the Athenian judgment-shrine was rent, 
 
 For wrath that all their wrath was vainly spent, 
 
 Their wrath for wrong made right 
 
 By justice in her own divine despite 
 
 That bade pass forth unblamed 
 
 The sinless matricide and unashamed ? 
 
 Yea, what new cry is this, what note more bright 
 
 Than their song's wing of words was dark of flight, 
 
 What word is this thou hast heard, 
 
 Thine and not thine or theirs, Night, what word 
 
ON THE CLIFFS. 41 
 
 More keen than lightning and more sweet than light? 
 As all men's hearts grew godlike in one bird 
 And all those hearts cried on thee, crying with might, 
 Hear us, O mother Night. 
 
 Dumb is the mouth of darkness as of death : 
 
 Light, sound and life are one 
 
 In the eyes and lips of dawn that draw the sun 
 
 To hear what first child's word with glimmering breath 
 
 Their weak wan weanling child the twilight saith ; 
 
 But night makes answer none. 
 
 God, if thou be god, — bird, if bird thou be, — 
 
 Do thou then answer me. 
 
 For but one word, what wind soever blow. 
 
 Is blown up usward ever from the sea. 
 
 In fruitless years of youth dead long ago 
 
42 ON THE CLIFFS. 
 
 And deep beneath their own dead leaves and snow 
 
 Buried, I heard with bitter heart and sere 
 
 The same sea's word unchangeable, nor knew 
 
 But that mine own life-days were changeless too 
 
 And sharp and salt with unshed tear on tear 
 
 And cold and fierce and barren ; and my soul, 
 
 Sickening, swam weakly with bated breath 
 
 In a deep sea like death, 
 
 And felt the wind buffet her face with brine 
 
 Hard, and harsh thought on thought in long bleak roll 
 
 Blown by keen gusts of memory sad as thine 
 
 Heap the weight up of pain, and break, and leave 
 
 Strength scarce enough to grieve 
 
 In the sick heavy spirit, unmanned with strife 
 
 Of waves that beat at the tired lips of life. 
 
 Nay, sad may be man's memory, sad may be 
 
ON THE CLIFFS. 43 
 
 The dream he weaves him as for shadow of thee, 
 
 But scarce one breathing-space, one heartbeat long, 
 
 Wilt thou take shadow of sadness on thy song. 
 
 Not thou, being more than man or man's desire, 
 
 Being bird and God in one, 
 
 With throat of gold and spirit of the sun ; 
 
 The sun whom all our souls and songs call sire, 
 
 Whose godhead gave thee, chosen of all our quire, 
 
 Thee only of all that serve, of all that sing 
 
 Before our sire and king, 
 
 Borne up some space on time's world-wandering wing, 
 
 This gift, this doom, to bear till time's wing tire — 
 
 Life everlasting of eternal fire. 
 
 Thee only of all ; yet can no memory say 
 
 How many a night and day 
 
 My heart has been as thy heart, and my life 
 
44 ON THE CLIFFS. 
 
 As thy life is, a sleepless hidden thing, 
 
 Full of the thirst and hunger of winter and spring, 
 
 That seeks its food not in such love or strife 
 
 As fill men's hearts with passionate hours and rest 
 
 From no loved lips and on no loving breast 
 
 Have I sought ever for such gifts as bring 
 
 •Comfort, to stay the secret soul with sleep. 
 
 The joys, the loves, the labours, whence men reap 
 
 Rathe fruit of hopes and fears, 
 
 I have made not mine ; the best of all my days 
 
 Have been as those fair fruitless summer strays, 
 
 Those water-waifs that but the sea-wind steers, 
 
 Flakes of glad foam or flowers on footless ways 
 
 That take the wind in season and the sun, 
 
 And when the wind wills is their season done. 
 
 For all my days as all thy days from birth 
 
ON THE CLIFFS. 45 
 
 My heart as thy heart was in me as thee, 
 
 Fire ; and not all the fountains of the sea 
 
 Have waves enough to quench it, nor on earth 
 
 Is fuel enough to feed, 
 
 While day sows night and night sows day for seed, 
 
 We were not marked for sorrow, thou nor I, 
 For joy nor sorrow, sister, were we made, 
 To take delight and grief to live and die, 
 Assuaged by pleasures or by pains affrayed 
 That melt men's hearts and alter ; we retain 
 A memory mastering pleasure and all pain, 
 A spirit within the sense of ear and eye, 
 A soul behind the soul, that seeks and sings 
 And makes our life move only with its wings 
 And feed but from its lips, that in return 
 Feed of our hearts wherein the old fires that bum 
 
46 ON THE CLIFFS. 
 
 Have strength not to consume 
 
 Nor glory enough to exalt us past our doom. 
 
 Ah, ah, the doom (thou knowest whence rang that wail) 
 Of the shrill nightingale I 
 
 (From whose wild lips, thou knowest, that wail was thrown) 
 For roundabout her have the great gods cast 
 A wing-borne body, and clothed her close and fast 
 With a sweet life that hath no fart in moan. 
 But me, for me (how hadst thou heart to hear ?) 
 Remains a sundering with the two-edged spear. 
 
 Ahifor her doom I so cried in presage then 
 The bodeful bondslave of the king of men, 
 And might not win her will 
 Too close the entangling dragnet woven of crime, 
 The snare of ill new-born of elder ill, 
 
ON THE CLIFFS. 47 
 
 The curse of new time for an elder time, 
 
 Had caught, and held her yet, 
 
 Enmeshed intolerably in the intolerant net, 
 
 Who thought with craft to mock the God most high, 
 
 And win by wiles his crown of prophecy 
 
 From the Sun's hand sublime, 
 
 As God were man, to spare or to forget 
 
 But thou, — the gods have given thee and forgiven, thee 
 
 More than our master gave 
 
 That strange-eyed spirit- wounded strange-tongued slave 
 
 There questing houndlike where the roofs red-wet 
 
 Reeked as a wet red grave. 
 
 Life everlasting has their strange grace given thee, 
 
 Even hers whom thou wast wont to sing and serve 
 
 With eyes, but not with song, too swift to swerve ; 
 
 Yet might not even thine eyes estranged estrange her, 
 
48 ON THE CLIFFS. 
 
 Who seeing thee too, but inly, burn and bleed 
 
 Like that pale princess-priest of Priam's seed, 
 
 For stranger service gave thee guerdon stranger ; 
 
 If this indeed be guerdon, this indeed 
 
 Her mercy, this thy meed — 
 
 That thou, being more than all we born, being higher 
 
 Than all heads crowned of him that only gives 
 
 The light whereby man lives, 
 
 The bay that bids man moved of God's desire 
 
 Lay hand on lute or lyre, 
 
 Set lip to trumpet or deflowered green reed — 
 
 If this were given thee for a grace indeed, 
 
 That thou, being first of all these, thou alone 
 
 Shouldst have the grace to die not, but to live 
 
 And lose nor change one pulse of song, one tone 
 
 Of all that were thy lady's and thine own, 
 
 Thy lady's whom thou criedst on to forgive, 
 
ON THE CLIFFS. 49 
 
 Thou, priest and sacrifice on the altar-stone 
 Where none may worship not of all that live, 
 Love's priestess, errant on dark ways diverse ; 
 If this were grace indeed for Love to give, 
 If this indeed were blessing and no curse. 
 
 Love's priestess, mad with pain and joy of song, 
 Song's priestess, mad with joy and pain of love, 
 Name above all names that are lights above, 
 We have loved, praised, pitied, crowned and done thee 
 
 wrong, 
 O thou past praise and pity ; thou the sole 
 Utterly deathless, perfect only and whole 
 Immortal, body and souL 
 For over all whom time hath overpast 
 The shadow of sleep inexorable is cast, 
 The implacable sweet shadow of perfect sleep 
 
 E 
 
So ON THE CLIFFS. 
 
 That gives not back what life gives death to keep ; 
 Yea, all that lived and loved and sang and sinned 
 Are all borne down death's cold sweet soundless wind 
 That blows all night and knows not whom its breath, 
 i Darkling, may touch to death : 
 
 But one that wind hath touched and changed not, — one 
 Whose body and soul are parcel of the sun ; 
 One that earth's fire could burn not, nor the sea 
 Quench; nor might human doom take hold on thee; 
 All praise, all pity, all dreams have done thee wrong, 
 All love, with eyes love-blinded from above ; 
 Song's priestess, mad with joy and pain of love, 
 Love's priestess, mad with pain and joy of song. 
 
 Hast thou none other answer then for me 
 
 Than the air may have of thee, 
 
 Or the earth's warm woodlands girdling with green girth 
 
ON THE CLIFFS. 51 
 
 Thy secret sleepless burning life on earth, 
 Or even the sea that once, being woman crowned 
 And girt with fire and glory of anguish round, 
 Thou wert so fain to seek to, fain to crave 
 If she would hear thee and save 
 And give thee comfort of thy great green grave ? 
 Because I have known thee always who thou art, 
 Thou knowest, have known thee to thy heart's own heart, 
 Nor ever have given light ear to storied song 
 That did thy sweet name sweet unwitting w.rong, 
 Nor ever have called thee nor would call for shame, 
 Thou knowest, but inly by thine only name, 
 Sappho — because I have known thee and loved, hast 
 
 thou 
 None other answer now ? 
 As brother and sister were we, child and bird, 
 Since thy first Lesbian word 
 
52 ON THE CLIFFS. 
 
 Flamed on me, and I knew not whence I knew 
 This was the song that struck my whole soul through, 
 Pierced my keen spirit of sense with edge more keen, 
 Even when I knew not, — even ere sooth was seen, — 
 When thou wast but the tawny sweet winged thing 
 Whose cry was but of spring. 
 
 And yet even so thine ear should hear me — yea, 
 
 Hear me this nightfall by this northland bay, 
 
 Even for their sake whose loud good word I had, 
 
 Singing of thee in the all-beloved clime 
 
 Once, where the windy wine of spring makes mad 
 
 Our sisters of Majano, who kept time 
 
 Clear to my choral rhyme. 
 
 Yet was the song acclaimed of these aloud 
 
 Whose praise had made mute humbleness misproud, 
 
 The song with answering song applauded thus, 
 
ON THE CLIFFS. 53 
 
 But of that Daulian dream of Itylus. 
 So but for love's love haply was it — Hay, 
 How else ? — that even their song took ray song's part, 
 For love of love and sweetness of sweet heart, 
 Or god-given glorious madness of mid May 
 And heat of heart and hunger and thirst to sing, 
 Full of the new wine of the wind of spring. 
 
 Or if this were not, and it be not sin 
 
 To hold myself in spirit of thy sweet kin, 
 
 In heart and spirit of song ; 
 
 If this my great love do thy grace no wrong, 
 
 Thy grace that gave me grace to dwell therein ; 
 
 If thy gods thus be my gods, and their will 
 
 Made my song part of thy song — even such part 
 
 As man's hath of God's heart — 
 
 And my life like as thy life to fulfil ; 
 
54 ON THE CLIFFS. 
 
 What have our gods then given us? Ah, to thee, 
 
 Sister, much more, much happier than to me, 
 
 Much happier things they have given, and more of grace 
 
 Than falls to man's light race ; 
 
 For lighter are we, all our love and pain 
 
 Lighter than thine, who knowest of time or place 
 
 Thus much, that place nor time 
 
 Can heal or hurt or lull or change again 
 
 The singing soul that makes his soul sublime 
 
 Who hears the far fall of its fire-fledged rhyme 
 
 Fill darkness as with bright and burning rain 
 
 Till all the live gloom inly glows, and light 
 
 Seems with the sound to cleave the core of night. 
 
 The singing soul that moves thee, and that moved 
 When thou wast woman, and their songs divine 
 Who mixed for Grecian mouths heaven's lyric wine 
 
ON THE CLIFFS. 55 
 
 Fell dumb, fell down reproved 
 Before one sovereign Lesbian song of thine. 
 That soul, though love and life had fain held fast, 
 Wind-winged with fiery' music, rose and past 
 Through the indrawn hollow Of earth and heaven and 
 
 hell, 
 As through some strait sea-shell 
 The wide sea's immemorial song, — the sea 
 That sings and breathes in strange men's ears of thee 
 How in her barren bride-bed, void and vast, 
 Even thy soul sang itself to sleep at last. 
 
 To sleep ? Ah, then, what song is this, that here 
 Makes all the night one ear, 
 One ear fulfilled and mad with music, one 
 Heart kindling as the heart of heaven, to hear 
 A song more fiery than the awakening sun 
 
56 ON THE CLIFFS. 
 
 Sings, when his song sets fire 
 
 To the air and clouds that build the dead night's pyre ? 
 
 thou of divers-coloured mind, O thou 
 
 Deathless, Gods daughter subtle-souled — lo, now, 
 
 Now too the song above all songs, in flight 
 
 Higher than the day-star's height, 
 
 And sweet as sound the moving wings of night ! 
 
 Thou of the divers-coloured seat — behold, 
 
 Her very song of old ! — 
 
 O deathless, O Gods daughter subtle-souled/ 
 
 That same cry through this boskage overhead 
 
 Rings round reiterated, 
 
 Palpitates as the last palpitated, 
 
 The last that panted through her lips and died 
 
 Not down this grey north sea's half sapped cliff-side 
 
 That crumbles toward the coastline, year by year 
 
 More near the sands and near ; 
 
ON THE CLIFFS. 57 
 
 The last loud lyric fiery cry she cried, 
 Heard once on heights Leucadian, — heard not here. 
 
 Not here ; for this that fires our northland night, 
 This is the song that made 
 Love fearful, even the heart of love afraid, 
 With the great anguish of its great delight 
 No swan-song, no far-fluttering half-drawn breath, 
 No word that love of love's sweet nature saith, 
 No dirge that lulls the narrowing lids of death, 
 No healing hymn of peace-prevented strife, — 
 This is her song of life. 
 
 I loved thee, — hark, one tenderer note than all — 
 Atthis, of old time, once — one low long fall, 
 Sighing — one long low lovely loveless call, 
 Dying — one pause in song so flamelike fast — 
 
58 ON THE CLIFFS. 
 
 Atthis, long since in old time overpast — 
 
 One soft first pause and last. 
 
 One, — then the old rage of rapture's fieriest rain 
 
 Storms all the music-maddened night again. 
 
 Child of God, close craftswoman, I beseech thee, 
 
 Bid not ache nor agony break nor master, 
 
 Lady, my spirit — 
 
 O thou her mistress, might her cry not reach thee ? 
 
 Our Lady of all men's loves, could Love go past her, 
 
 Pass, and not hear it? 
 
 She hears not as she heard not ; hears not me, 
 O treble-natured mystery, — how should she 
 Hear, or give ear? — who heard and heard not thee ; 
 Heard, and went past, and heard not ; but all time 
 Hears all that all the ravin of his years 
 
ON THE CLIFFS. 59 
 
 Hath cast not wholly out of all men's ears 
 And dulled to death with deep dense funeral chime 
 Of their reiterate rhyme. 
 And now of all songs uttering all her praise, 
 All hers who had thy praise and did thee wrong, 
 Abides one song yet of her lyric days, 
 Thine only, this thy song. 
 
 O soul triune, woman and god and bird, 
 
 Man, man at least has heard. 
 
 All ages call thee conqueror, and thy cry 
 
 The mightiest as the least beneath the sky 
 
 Whose heart was ever set to song, or stirred 
 
 With wind of mounting music blown more high 
 
 Than wildest wing may fly, 
 
 Hath heard or hears, — even ^Eschylus as I. 
 
 But when thy name was woman, and thy word 
 
60 ON THE CLIFFS. 
 
 Human, — then haply, surely then meseems 
 
 This thy bird's note was heard on earth of none, 
 
 Of none save only in dreams. 
 
 In all the world then surely was but one 
 
 Song ; as in heaven at highest one sceptred sun 
 
 Regent, on earth here surely without fail 
 
 One only, one imperious nightingale. 
 
 Dumb was the field, the woodland mute, the lawn 
 
 Silent ; the hill was tongueless as the vale 
 
 Even when the last fair waif of cloud that felt 
 
 Its heart beneath the colouring moonrays melt, 
 
 At high midnoon of midnight half withdrawn, 
 
 Bared all the sudden deep divine moondawn. 
 
 Then, unsaluted by her twin-born tune, 
 
 That latter timeless morning of the moon 
 
 Rose past its hour of moonrise ; clouds gave way 
 
 To the old reconquering ray, 
 
ON THE CLIFFS. 61 
 
 But no song answering made it more than day ; 
 
 No cry of song by night 
 
 Shot fire into the cloud-constraining light. 
 
 One only, one iEolian island heard 
 
 Thrill, but through no bird's throat, 
 
 In one strange manlike maiden's godlike note, 
 
 The song of all these as a single bird. 
 
 Till the sea's portal was as funeral gate 
 
 For that sole singer in all time's ageless date 
 
 Singled and signed for so triumphal fate, 
 
 All nightingales but one in all the world 
 
 All her sweet life were silent ; only then, 
 
 When her life's wing of womanhood was furled, 
 
 Their cry, this cry of thine was heard again, 
 
 As of me now, of any born of men. 
 
 Through sleepless clear spring nights filled full of thee, 
 
62 ON THE CLIFFS. 
 
 Rekindled here, thy ruling song has thrilled 
 The deep dark air and subtle tender sea 
 And breathless hearts with one bright sound fulfilled. 
 Or at midnoon to me 
 
 Swimming, and birds about my happier head 
 Skimming, one smooth soft way by water and air, 
 To these my bright born brethren and to me 
 Hath not the clear wind borne or seemed to bear 
 A song wherein all earth and heaven and sea 
 Were molten in one music made of thee 
 To enforce us, O our sister of the shore, 
 Look once in heart back landward and adore ? 
 For songless were we sea-mews, yet had we 
 More joy than all things joyful of thee — more, 
 Haply, than all things happiest j nay, save thee, 
 In thy strong rapture of imperious joy 
 Too high for heart of sea-borne bird or boy, 
 
ON THE CLIFFS. 63 
 
 What living things were happiest if not we ? 
 
 But knowing not love nor change nor wraj;h nor wrong, 
 
 No more we knew of song. 
 
 Song, and the secrets of it, and their might, 
 What blessings curse it and what curses bless, 
 I know them since my spirit had first in sight, 
 Clear as thy song's words or the live sun's light, . 
 The small dark body's Lesbian loveliness 
 That held the fire eternal ; eye and ear 
 Were as a god's to see, a god's to hear, 
 Through all his hours of daily and nightly chime, 
 The sundering of the two-edged spear of time : 
 The spear that pierces even the sevenfold shields 
 Of mightiest Memory, mother of all songs made, 
 And wastes all songs as roseleaves kissed and frayed 
 As here the harvest of the foam-flowered fields ; 
 
64 ON THE CLIFFS. 
 
 But thine the spear may waste not that he wields 
 Since first the God whose soul is man's live breath, 
 The sun whose face hath our sun's face for shade, 
 Put all the light of life and love and death 
 Too strong for life, but not for love too strong, 
 Where pain makes peace with pleasure in thy song, 
 And in thine heart, where love and song make strife, 
 Fire everlasting of eternal life,

 Thy windy ways the wildest, and beset 
 As some beleaguered city's war-breached wall 
 With deaths enmeshed all round it in deep net, 
 Thick sown with rocks deadlier than steel, and fierce 
 With loud cross-countering currents, where the ship 
 Flags, flickering like a wind-bewildered leaf, 
 The densest weft of waves that prow may pierce 
 Coils round the sharpest warp of shoals that dip 
 Suddenly, scarce well under for one brief 
 Keen breathing-space between the streams adverse, 
 Scarce showirjg the fanged edge of one hungering lip 
 Or one tooth lipless of the ravening reef ; 
 And midmost of the murderous water's web 
 All round it stretched and spun, 
 Laughs, reckless of rough tide and raging ebb, 
 The loveliest thing that shines against the sun. 
 
72 THE GARDEN OF CYMODOCE. 
 
 O flower of all wind-flowers and sea-flowers, sir. 3. 
 
 Made lovelier by love of the sea 
 Than thy golden own field-flowers, or tree-flowers 
 
 Like foam of the sea-facing tree ! 
 No foot but the sea-mew's there settles 
 
 On the spikes of thine anthers like horns, 
 With snow-coloured spray for thy petals, 
 Black rocks for thy thorns. 
 
 Was it here, in the waste of his waters, ant. 3. 
 
 That the lordly north wind, when his love 
 On the fairest of many king's daughters 
 
 Bore down for a spoil from above, 
 Chose forth of all farthest far islands 
 
 As a haven to harbour her head, 
 Of all lowlands on earth and all highlands, 
 His bride- worthy bed ? 
 
THE GARDEN OF CYMODOCE. 73 
 
 Or haply, my sea-flower, he found thee sir. 4. 
 
 Made fast as with anchors to land, 
 And broke, that his waves might be round thee, 
 
 Thy fetters like rivets of sand ? 
 And afar by the blast of him drifted 
 
 Thy blossom of beauty was borne, 
 As a lark by the heart in her lifted 
 To mix with the morn ? 
 
 By what rapture of rage, by what vision ant. 4. 
 
 Of a heavenlier heaven than above, 
 Was he moved to devise thy division 
 
 From the land as a rest for his love ? 
 As a nest when his wings would remeasure 
 
 The ways where of old they would be, 
 As a bride-bed upbuilt for his pleasure 
 By sea-rock and sea ? 
 
74 THE GARDEN OF CYMODOCE. 
 
 For in rio deeps of midmost inland May 
 
 More flower-bright flowers the hawthorn, or more sweet 
 
 Swells the wild gold of the earth for wandering feet ; 
 
 For on no northland way 
 
 Crowds the close whin-bloom closer, set like thee 
 
 With thorns about for fangs of sea-rock shown 
 
 Through blithe lips of the bitter brine to lee ; 
 
 Nor blithelier landward comes the sea-wind blown, 
 
 Nor blithelier leaps the land-wind back to sea : 
 
 Nor louder springs the living song of birds 
 
 To shame our sweetest words. 
 
 And in the narrowest of thine hollowest hold 
 
 For joy thine aspens quiver as though for cold, 
 
 And many a self-lit flower-illumined tree 
 
 Outlaughs with snow-bright or with rose-bright glee 
 
 The laughter of the fields whose laugh is gold. 
 
 Yea, even from depth to height, 
 
THE GARDEN OF CYMODOCE. 75 
 
 Even thine own beauty with its own delight 
 
 Fulfils thine heart in thee an hundredfold 
 
 Beyond the larger hearts of islands bright 
 
 With less intense contraction of desire 
 
 Self-satiate, centred in its own deep fire ; 
 
 Of shores not self-enchanted and entranced 
 
 By heavenly severance from all shadow of mirth 
 
 Or mourning upon earth : 
 
 As thou, by no similitude enhanced, 
 
 By no fair foil made fairer, but alone 
 
 Fair as could be no beauty save thine own, 
 
 And wondrous as no world-beholden wonder : 
 
 Throned, with the world's most perilous sea for throne, 
 
 And praised from all its choral throats of thunder. 
 
 Yet one praise hast thou, holier str. 5. 
 
 Than praise of theirs may be, 
 
76 THE GARDEN OF CYMODOCE. 
 
 To exalt thee, wert thou lowlier 
 
 Than all that take the sea 
 With shores whence waves ebb slowlier - 
 
 Than these fall off from thee : 
 
 That One, whose name gives glory, ant. 5. 
 
 One man whose life makes light, 
 One crowned and throned in story 
 
 Above all empire's height, 
 Came, where thy straits run hoary, 
 
 To hold thee fast in sight ; 
 
 With hallowing eyes to hold thee, str. 6. 
 
 With rapturous heart to read, 
 To encompass and enfold thee 
 
 Whh love whence all men feed, 
 To brighten and behold thee, 
 
 Who is mightiest of man's seed : 
 
THE GARDEN OF CYMODOCE. 77 
 
 More strong than strong disaster, ant. 6. 
 
 For fate and fear too strong ; 
 Earth's friend, whose eyes look past her, 
 
 Whose hands would purge of wrong ; 
 Our lord, our light, our master, 
 
 Whose word sums up all song. 
 
 Be it April or September sir. 7, 
 
 That plays his perfect part, 
 Burn June of blow December, 
 
 Thou canst not in thine heart 
 But rapturously remember, 
 
 All heavenlike as thou art, 
 
 Whose footfall made thee fairer, ant. 7. 
 
 Whose passage more divine, 
 Whose hand, our thunder-bearer, 
 
 Held fire that bade thee shine 
 
78 THE GARDEN OF CYMODOCE. 
 
 With subtler glory and rarer 
 Than thrills the sun's own shrine. 
 
 Who knows how then his godlike banished gaze 
 
 Turned haply from its goal of natural days 
 
 And homeward hunger for the clear French clime, 
 
 Toward English earth, whereunder now the Accursed 
 
 Rots, in the hate of all men's hearts inhearsed, 
 
 A carrion ranker to the sense of time 
 
 For that sepulchral gift of stone and lime 
 
 By royal grace laid on it, less of weight 
 
 Than the load laid by fate, 
 
 Fate, misbegotten child of his own crime, 
 
 Son of as foul a bastard-bearing birth 
 
 As even his own on earth ; 
 
 Less heavy than the load of cursing piled 
 
 By loyal grace of all souls undefiled 
 
THE GARDEN OF CYMODOCE. 79 
 
 On one man's head, whose reeking soul made rotten 
 
 The loathed live corpse on earth once misbegotten ? 
 
 But when our Master's homeless feet were here, 
 
 France yet was foul with joy more foul than fear, 
 
 And slavery chosen, more vile by choice of chance 
 
 Than dull damnation of inheritance 
 
 From Russian year to year. 
 
 Alas fair mother of men, alas my France, 
 
 What ailed thee so to fall, that wert so dear 
 
 For all men's sake to all men, in such trance, 
 
 Plague-stricken ? Had the very Gods, that saw 
 
 Thy glory lighten on us for a law, 
 
 Thy gospel go before us for a guide, 
 
 Had these waxed envious of our love and awe 
 
 Or was it less theirenvy than thy pride 
 
 That bared thy breast for the obscene vulture-claw, 
 
 High priestess, by whose mouth Love prophesied 
 
80 THE GARDEN OF CYMODOCE. 
 
 That fate should yet mean freedom ? Howsoever, 
 
 That hour, the helper of men's hearts, we praise, 
 
 Which blots out of man's book of after days 
 
 The name above all names abhorred for ever. 
 
 And His name shall we praise not, whom these 
 
 flowers, 
 These rocks and ravening waters bound for girth 
 Round this wild starry spanlong plot of earth, 
 Beheld, the mightier for those heavier hours 
 That bowed his heart not down 
 Nor marred one crowning blossom of his crown ? 
 For surely, might we say, 
 
 Even from the dark deep sea-gate that makes way 
 Through channelled darkness for the darkling day 
 Hardly to let men's faltering footfall win 
 The sunless passage in, 
 Where breaks a world aflower against the sun, 
 
THE GARDEN OF CYMODOCE. 81 
 
 A small sweet world of wave-encompassed wonder, 
 
 Kept from the wearier landward world asunder 
 
 With violence of wild waters, and with thunder 
 
 Of many winds as one, 
 
 To where the keen sea-current grinds and frets 
 
 The black bright sheer twin flameless Altarlets 
 
 That lack no live blood-sacrifice they crave 
 
 Of shipwreck and the shrine-subservient wave, 
 
 Having for priest the storm-wind, and for choir 
 
 Lightnings and clouds whose prayers and praise are fire, 
 
 All the isle acclaimed him coming ; she, the least 
 
 Of all things loveliest that the sea's love hides 
 
 From strange men's insult, walled about with tides 
 
 That bid strange guests back from her flower-strewn 
 
 feast, 
 Set all her fields aflower, her flowers aflame, 
 To applaud him that he came. 
 
 G 
 
82 THE GARDEN OF CYMODOCE. 
 
 Nor surely flashed not something of delight 
 
 Through that steep strait of rock whose twin-cliffed 
 height 
 
 Links crag with crag reiterate, land with land, 
 
 By one sheer thread of narrowing precipice 
 
 Bifront, that binds and sunders 
 
 Abyss from hollower imminent abyss 
 
 And wilder isle with island, blind for bliss 
 
 Of sea that lightens and of wind that thunders ; 
 
 Nor pealed not surely back from deep to steep 
 
 Reverberate acclamation, steep to deep 
 
 Inveterately reclaiming and replying 
 
 Praise, and response applausive ; nor the sea 
 
 For all the sea-wind's crying 
 
 Knew not the song her sister, even as she 
 
 Thundering, or like her confluent spring-tides brighten- 
 ing, 
 
THE GARDEN OF CYMODOCE. 83 
 
 And like her darkness lightening ; 
 
 The song that moved about him silent, now 
 
 Both soundless wings refolded and refurled 
 
 On that Promethean brow, 
 
 Then quivering as for flight that wakes the world. 
 
 From the roots of the rocks underlying the gulfs that 
 
 engird it around sir. 8. 
 
 Was the isle not enkindled with light of him landing, 
 
 or thrilled not with sound ? 
 Yea, surely the sea like a harper laid hand on the shore 
 
 as a lyre, 
 As the. lyre in his own for a birthright of old that was 
 
 given of his sire, 
 And the hand of the child was put forth on the chords 
 
 yet alive and aflame 
 
 G2 
 
84 THE GARDEN OF CYMODOCE. 
 
 From the hand of the God that had wrought it in heaven; 
 
 and the hand was the same. 
 And the tongue of the child spake, singing ; and never a 
 
 note that he sang, 
 But the strings made answer unstricken, as though for 
 
 the God they rang. 
 And the eyes of the child shone, lightening ; and touched, 
 
 as by life at his nod, 
 They shuddered with music, and quickened as though 
 
 from the glance of the God. 
 So trembled the heart of the hills and the rocks to 
 
 receive him, and yearned 
 With desirous delight of his presence and love that 
 
 beholding him burned. 
 Yea, down through the mighty twin hollows where never 
 
 the sunlight shall be, 
 Deep sunk under imminent earth, and subdued to the 
 
 stress of the sea. 
 
THE GARDEN OF CYMODOCE. 85 
 
 That feel when the dim week changes by change of their 
 
 tides in the dark, 
 As the wave sinks under within them, reluctant, removed 
 
 from its mark,- 
 Even there in the terror of twilight in bloom with its 
 
 blossoms ablush, 
 Did a sense of him touch not the gleam of their flowers 
 
 with a fierier flush ? 
 Though the sun they behold not for ever, yet knew they 
 
 not over them One 
 Whose soul was the soul of the morning, whose song was 
 
 the song of the sun ? 
 But the secrets inviolate of sunlight in hollows untrodden 
 
 of day, 
 Shall he dream what are these who beholds not ? or he 
 
 that hath seen, shall he say ? 
 
86 THE GARDEN OF CYMODOCE. 
 
 For the path is for passage of sea-mews ; and he that 
 
 hath glided and leapt 
 Over sea-grass and sea-rock, alighting as one from a 
 
 citadel crept 
 That his foemen beleaguer, descending by darkness and 
 
 stealth, at the last 
 Peers under, and all is as hollow to hellward, agape and 
 
 aghast 
 But afloat and afar in the darkness a tremulous colour 
 
 subsides ant. 8 
 
 From the crimson high crest of the purple-peaked roof 
 
 to the soft-coloured sides 
 That brighten as ever they widen till downward the level 
 
 is won 
 Of the soundless and colourless water that knows not the 
 
 sense of the sun : 
 From the crown of the culminant arch to the floor of the 
 
 lakelet abloom, 
 
THE GARDEN OF CYMODOCE. 87 
 
 One infinite blossom of blossoms innumerable aflush 
 
 through the gloom. 
 All under the deeps of the darkness are glimmering ; all 
 
 over impends 
 An immeasurable infinite flower of the dark that dilates 
 
 and descends, 
 That exults and expands in its breathless and blind 
 
 efflorescence of heart 
 As it broadens and bows to the wave-ward, and breathes 
 
 not, and hearkens apart 
 As a beaker inverse at a feast on Olympus, exhausted of 
 
 wine, 
 But inlaid as with rose from the lips of Dione that left it 
 
 divine : 
 From the lips everliving of laughter and love everlasting, 
 
 that leave 
 In the cleft of his heart who shall kiss them a snake to 
 
 corrode it and cleave. 
 
88 THE GARDEN OF CYMODOCE. 
 
 So glimmers the gloom into glory, the glory recoils into 
 
 gloom, 
 That the eye of the sun could not kindle, the lip not of 
 
 Love could relume. 
 So darkens reverted the cup that the kiss of her mouth 
 
 set on fire : 
 So blackens a brand in his eyeshot asmoulder awhile 
 
 from the pyre. 
 For the beam from beneath and without it refrangent 
 
 again from the wave 
 Strikes up through the portal a ghostly reverse on the 
 
 dome of the cave, 
 On the depth of the dome ever darkling and dim to the 
 
 crown of its arc : 
 That the sun-coloured tapestry, sunless for ever, may 
 
 soften the dark. 
 
THE GARDEN OF CYMODOCE. 89 
 
 But within through the side-scene archway aglimmer 
 
 again from the right 
 Is the seal of the sea's tide set on the mouth of the 
 
 mystery of night. 
 And the seal on the seventh day breaks but a little, that 
 
 man by its mean 
 May behold what the sun hath not looked on, the stars 
 
 of the night have not seen. 
 
 Even like that hollow-bosomed rose, inverse 
 And infinite, the heaven of thy vast verse, 
 Our Master, over all our souls impends, 
 Imminent ; we, with heart-enkindled eyes 
 Upwondering, search the music-moulded skies 
 Sphere by sweet sphere, concordant as it blends 
 Light of bright sound, sound of clear light, in one, 
 As all the stars found utterance through the sun. 
 
go THE GARDEN OF CYMODOCE. 
 
 And all that heaven is like a rose in bloom, 
 
 Flower-coloured, where its own sun's fires illume 
 
 As from one central and imperious heart 
 
 The whole sky's every part : 
 
 But lightening still and darkling downward, lo 
 
 The light and darkness of it, 
 
 The leaping of the lamping levin afar 
 
 Between the full moon and the sunset star, 
 
 The war-song of the sounding skies aglow, 
 
 That have the herald thunder for their prophet : 
 
 From north to south the lyric lights that leap, 
 
 The tragic sundawns reddening east and west 
 
 As with bright blood from one Promethean breast, 
 
 The peace of noon that strikes the sea to sleep, 
 
 The wail over the world of all that weep, 
 
 The peace of night when death brings life on rest 
 
THE GARDEN OF CYMODOCE. 91 
 
 Goddess who gatherest all the herded waves 
 
 Into thy great sweet pastureless green fold, 
 
 Even for our love of old, 
 
 I pray thee by thy power that slays and saves, 
 
 Take thou my song of this thy flower to keep 
 
 Who hast my heart in hold ; 
 
 And from thine high place of thy garden-steep, 
 
 Where one sheer terrace oversees thy deep 
 
 From the utmost rock-reared height 
 
 Down even to thy dear depths of night and light, 
 
 Take my song's salutation ; and on me 
 
 Breathe back the benediction of thy sea. 
 
Between two seas the sea-bird's wing makes halt, 
 Windrweary; while with lifting head he waits 
 For breath to reinspire him from the gates 
 
 That open still toward sunrise on the vault 
 
 High-domed of morning, and in flight's default 
 With spreading sense of spirit anticipates 
 What new sea now may lure beyond the straits 
 
 His wings exulting that her winds exalt 
 
 And fill them full as sails to seaward spread, 
 
 Fulfilled with fair speed's promise. Pass, my song, 
 
 Forth to the haven of thy desire and dread, 
 The presence of our lord, long loved and long 
 
 Far off above beholden, who to thee 
 
 Was as light kindling all a windy sea.

 FOR THE ANNIVERSARY FESTIVAL OF VICTOR HUGO, 
 FEBRUARY 26, 1880. 
 
 Spring, born in heaven ere many a springtime 
 flown, strophe 1. 
 
 Dead spring that sawest on earth 
 A babe of deathless birth, 
 A flower of rosier flowerage than thine own, 
 A glory of goodlier godhead ; even this day, 
 That floods the mist of February with May, 
 And strikes death dead with sunlight, and the breath 
 Whereby the deadly doers are done to death,

98 BIRTHDAY ODE. 
 
 They that in day's despite 
 
 Would crown the imperial night, 10 
 
 And in deep hate of insubmissive spring 
 
 Rethrone the royal winter for a king, 
 
 This day that casts the days of darkness down 
 
 Low as a broken crown, 
 
 We call thee from the gulf of deeds and days, 
 
 Deathless and dead, to hear us whom we praise. 
 
 A light of many lights about thine head, antistropht i. 
 Lights manifold and one, 
 Stars molten in a sun, 
 
 A sun of divers beams incorporated, 20 
 
 Compact of confluent aureoles, each more fair 
 Than man, save only at highest of man, may wear, 
 So didst thou rise, when this our grey-grown age 
 Had trod two paces of his pilgrimage, 
 
BIRTHDAY ODE. 99 
 
 Two paces through the gloom 
 
 From his fierce father's tomb, 
 
 Led by cross lights of lightnings, and the flame 
 
 That burned in darkness round one darkling name ; 
 
 So didst thou rise, nor knewest thy glory, O thou 
 
 Re-risen upon us now, 30 
 
 The glory given thee for a grace to give, 
 
 And take the praise of all men's hearts that live. 
 
 First in the dewy ray epode 1. 
 
 Ere dawn be slain of day , 
 The fresh crowned lilies of discrowned kings' prime 
 Sprang splendid as of old

 And rays refract from the oldworld heaven of time ; 
 Pale with proud light of stars decreased 
 In westward wane reluctant from the conquering east. 40

 But even between their golden olden bloom sir. 2. 
 
 Strange flowers of wildwood glory, 
 
 With frost and moonshine hoary, 
 
 Thrust up the new growths of their green-leaved 
 
 gloom, 
 Red buds of ballad blossom, where the dew 
 Blushed as with bloodlike passion, and its hue 
 Was as the life and love of hearts on flame, 
 And fire from forth of each live chalice came : 
 Young sprays of elder song, 
 
 Stem straight and petal strong, 50 
 
 Bright foliage with dark frondage overlaid, 
 And light the lovelier for its lordlier shade ; 
 And morn and even made loud in woodland lone 
 With cheer of clarions blown, 
 And through the tournay's clash and clarion's cheer 
 Laugh to laugh echoing, tear washed off by tear.

 Then eastward far past northland lea and lawn ant. 2. 
 
 Beneath a heavier light 
 
 Of stormier day and night 
 
 Began the music of the heaven of dawn ; 6 
 
 Bright sound of battle along the Grecian waves, 
 
 Loud light of thunder above the Median graves, 
 
 New strife, new song on ^Eschylean seas, 
 
 Canaris risen above Themistocles ; 
 
 Old glory of warrior ghosts 
 
 Shed fresh on filial hosts, 
 
 With dewfall redder than the dews of day, 
 
 And earth-born lightnings out of bloodbright spray ; 
 
 Then through the flushed grey gloom on shadowy 
 
 sheaves 
 Low nights of falling leaves ; 70

 All the world's twilight and the soul's to song.

 Whose tale was writ in heaven

 For scroll beneath his Apollonian hand 
 
 The dim twin wastes of sea and glimmering land.

 For two made one may find three made by death 
 
 One ruin at the blasting of its breath : 
 
 Clothed with heart's flame renewed

 Faith lightens on the lips that bloomed for hire 
 
 Pure as the lightning of love's first-born fire : 
 
 Wide-eyed and patient ever, till the curse 
 
 Find where to fall and pierce, no 
 
 Keen expiation whets with edge more dread 
 
 A father's wrong to smite a father's head.

 To slake the thirst of God their Lord's desire : 
 
 As keen the blast of love-enkindled fate 
 
 That burst the Paduan tyrant's guarded gate : 
 
 As sad the softer moan

 And left them fired, and fed 
 
 With sacramental bread, 
 
 And sweet with honey of tenderer words than tears 
 
 To feed men's hopes and fortify men's fears, 
 
 And strong to silence with benignant breath

 The live great likeness of Our Lady's towers ; 
 
no BIRTHDAY ODE. 
 
 And round them like a dove 
 Wounded, and sick with love, 
 One fair ghost moving, crowned with fateful flowers, , 
 Watched yet with eyes of bloodred lust 
 And eyes of love's heart broken and unbroken trust. 200 
 
 But sadder always under shadowier skies, sir. 6. 
 
 More pale and sad and clear 
 
 Waxed always, drawn more near, 
 
 The face of Duty lit with Love's own eyes ; 
 
 Till the awful hands that culled in rosier hours 
 
 From fairy-footed fields of wild old flowers 
 
 And sorcerous woods of Rhineland, green and hoary, 
 
 Young children's chaplets of enchanted story, 
 
 The great kind hands that showed 
 
 Exile its homeward road, 210 
 
 And, as man's helper made his foeman God, 
 
BIRTHDAY ODE. in 
 
 Of pity and mercy wrought themselves a rod, 
 And opened for Napoleon's wandering kin 
 France, and bade enter in, 
 And threw for all the doors of refuge wide, 
 Took to them lightning in the thunder-tide. 
 
 For storm on earth above had risen from under, ant. 6. 
 
 Out of the hollow of hell, 
 
 Such storm as never fell 
 
 From darkest deeps of heaven distract with thunder ; 
 
 A cloud of cursing, past all shape of thought, 221 
 
 More foul than foulest dreams, and overfraught 
 
 With all obscene things and obscure of birth 
 
 That ever made infection of man's earth ; 
 
 Having all hell for cloak 
 
 Wrapped round it as a smoke 
 
 And in its womb such offspring so defiled 
 
ii2 BIRTHDAY ODE. 
 
 As earth bare never for her loathliest child, 
 Rose, brooded, reddened, broke, and with its breath 
 Put France to poisonous death ; 230 
 
 Yea, far as heaven's red labouring eye could glance, 
 France was not, save in men cast forth of France. 
 
 Then, — while the plague-sore grew ef. 6. 
 
 Two darkling decades through, 
 And rankled in the festering flesh of time- 
 Where darkness binds and frees 
 The wildest of wild seas 
 In fierce mutations of the unslumbering clime, 
 There, sleepless too, o'er shuddering wrong 
 One hand appointed shook the reddening scourge of 
 song. 240 
 
 And through the lightnings of the apparent word str. 7. 
 Dividing shame's dense night 
 
BIRTHDAY ODE. 113 
 
 Sounds lovelier than the light 
 
 And light more sweet than song from night's own 
 
 bird 
 Mixed each their hearts with other, till the gloom 
 Was glorious as with all the stars in bloom, 
 Sonorous as with all the spheres in chime 
 Heard far through flowering heaven : the sea, 
 
 sublime 
 Once only with its own 
 
 Old winds' and waters' tone, 250 
 
 Sad only or glad with its own glory, and crowned 
 With its own light, and thrilled with its own sound. 
 Learnt now their song, more sweet than heaven's 
 
 may be, 
 Who pass away by sea ; 
 
 The song that takes of old love's land farewell,, 
 With pulse of plangent water like a kneL 
 
ii4 BIRTHDAY ODE. 
 
 And louder ever and louder and yet more loud ant. J< 
 Till night be shamed of morn 
 Rings the Black Huntsman's horn 
 Through darkening deeps beneath the covering 
 cloud, 260 
 
 Till all the wild beasts of the darkness hear ; 
 Till the Czar quake, till Austria cower for fear, 
 Till the king breathe not, till the priest wax, pale, 
 Till spies and slayers on seats of judgment quail, 
 Till mitre and cowl bow down 
 And crumble as a crown, 
 Till Caesar driven to lair and hounded Pope 
 Reel breathless and drop heartless out of hope, 
 And one the uncleanest kinless beast of all 
 Lower than his fortune fall ; 270 
 
 The wolfish waif of casual empire, born 
 To turn all hate and horror cold with scorn. 
 
BIRTHDAY ODE. 115 
 
 Yea, even at night's full noon e p. 7. 
 
 Light's birth-song brake in tune, 
 Spake, witnessing that with us one must be, 
 God; naming so by name 
 That priests have brought to shame 
 The strength whose scourge sounds on the smitten 
 sea; 
 The mystery manifold of might 
 iVhich bids the wind give back to night the things of 
 night 280 
 
 Even God, the unknown of all time ; force or 
 thought, sir, 8. 
 
 Nature or fate or will, 
 Clothed round with good and ill, 
 Veiled and revealed of all things and of nought, 
 12 
 
n6 BIRTHDAY ODE. 
 
 Hooded and helmed with mystery, girt and shod 
 
 With light and darkness, unapparent God. 
 
 Him the high prophet o'er his wild work bent 
 
 Found indivisible ever and immanent 
 
 At hidden heart of truth, 
 
 In forms of age and youth 290 
 
 Transformed and transient ever ; masked and crowned, 
 
 From all bonds loosened and with all bonds bound, 
 
 Diverse and one with all things ; love and hate, , 
 
 Earth, and the starry state 
 
 Of heaven immeasurable, and years that flee 
 
 As clouds and winds and rays across the sea. 
 
 But higher than stars and deeper than the waves ant. 8. 
 
 Of day and night and morrow 
 
 That roll for all time, sorrow 
 
 Keeps ageless watch over perpetual graves. 300 
 
BIRTHDAY ODE. 117 
 
 From dawn to morning of the soul in flower, 
 Through toils and dreams and visions, to that hour 
 When all the deeps were opened, and one doom 
 Took two sweet lives to embrace them and entomb, 
 The strong song plies its wing 
 That makes the darkness ring 
 And the deep light reverberate sound as deep ; 
 Song soft as flowers or grass more soft than sleep, 
 Song bright as heaven above the mounting b'ird, 
 Song like a god's tears heard 3 to 
 
 Falling, fulfilled of life and death and light, 
 And all the stars and all the shadow of night 
 
 Till, when its flight hath past ep. 8. 
 
 Time's loftiest mark and last, 
 The goal where good kills evil with a kiss, 
 
n8 BIRTHDAY ODE. 
 
 And Darkness in God's sight. 
 Grows as his brother Light, 
 And heaven and hell one heart whence all the abyss 
 Throbs with love's music ; from his trance 
 Love waking leads it home to her who stayed in 
 France. 320 
 
 But now from all the world-old winds of the air str. 9. 
 
 One blast of record rings 
 
 As from time's hidden springs 
 
 With roar of rushing wings and fires that bear 
 
 Toward north and south sonorous, east and west, 
 
 Forth of the dark wherein its records rest, 
 
 The story told of the ages, writ nor sung 
 
 By man's hand ever nor by mortal tongue 
 
 Till, godlike with desire, 
 
 One tongue of man took fire, 330 
 
BIRTHDAY ODE. 119 
 
 One hand laid hold upon the lightning, one 
 Rose up to bear time witness what the sun 
 Had seen, and what the moon and stars of night 
 Beholding lost not light : 
 
 from dawn to dusk what ways man wandering trod 
 Even through the twilight of the gods to God. 
 
 From dawn of man and woman twain and one, ant. 9. 
 
 When the earliest dews impearled 
 
 The front of all the world 
 
 Ringed with aurorean aureole of the sun, 340 
 
 To days that saw Christ's tears and hallowing breath 
 
 Put life for love's sake in the lips of death, 
 
 And years as waves whose brine was fire, whose foam 
 
 Blood, and the ravage of Neronian Rome ; 
 
 And the eastern crescent's horn 
 
 Mightier awhile than morn ; 
 
izo BIRTHDAY ODE. 
 
 And knights whose lives were flights of eagles' wings, 
 
 And lives like snakes' lives of engendering kings ; 
 
 And all the ravin of all the swords that reap 
 
 Lives cast as sheaves on heap 350 
 
 From all the billowing harvest-fields of fight ; 
 
 And sounds of love-songs lovelier than the light 
 
 The grim dim thrones of the east tp. 9. 
 
 Set for death's riotous feast 
 Round the bright board where darkling centuries wait, 
 And servile slaughter, mute, 
 Feeds power with fresh red fruit, 
 Glitter and groan with mortal food of fate ; • 
 And throne and cup and lamp's bright breath 
 Bear witness to their lord of only night and death. 360 
 
 Dead freedom by live empire lies defiled, sir. 10. 
 
 And murder at his feet 
 
PIRTHDAY ODE. 121 
 
 Plies lust with wine and meat, 
 
 With offering of an old man and a child, 
 
 With holy body and blood, inexpiable 
 
 Communion in the sacrament of hell, 
 
 Till, reeking from their monstrous eucharist, 
 
 The lips wax cold that murdered where they kissed, 
 
 And empire in mid feast 
 
 Fall as a slaughtered beast 370 
 
 Headless, and ease men's hungering hearts of fear 
 
 Lest God were none in heaven, to see nor hear, 
 
 And purge his own pollution with the flood 
 
 Poured of his black base blood 
 
 So first found healing, poisonous as it poured ; 
 
 And on the clouds the archangel cleanse his sword 
 
 As at the word unutterable that made ant. 10. 
 
 Of day and night division, 
 From vision on to vision, 
 
122 BIRTHDAY ODE. 
 
 From dream to dream, from darkness into shade, 380 
 
 From sunshine into sunlight, moves and lives 
 
 The steersman's eye, the helming hand that gives 
 
 Life to the wheels and wings that whirl along 
 
 The immeasurable impulse of the sphere of song 
 
 Through all the eternal years, 
 
 Beyond all stars and spheres, 
 
 Beyond the washing of the waves of time, 
 
 Beyond all heights where no thought else may climb, 
 
 Beyond the darkling dust of suns that were, 
 
 Past height and' depth of air ; 390 
 
 And in the abyss whence all things move that are 
 
 Finds only living Love, the sovereign star. 
 
 Nor less the weight and worth ep. io. 
 
 Found even of love on earth 
 To wash all stain of tears and sins away, 
 
BIRTHDAY ODE. 123 
 
 On dying lips alit 
 That living knew not it, 
 In the winged shape of song with death to play : 
 To warm young children with its wings, 
 And try with fire the heart elect for godlike things. 400 
 
 For all worst wants of all most miserable ttr. n. 
 
 With divine hands to deal 
 
 Alt balms and herbs that heal, 
 
 Among all woes whereunder poor men dwell 
 
 Our Master sent his servant Love* to be 
 
 On earth his witness ; but the strange deep sea, 
 
 Mother of life and death inextricate, 
 
 What work should Love do there, to war with fate? 
 
 Yet there must Love too keep 
 
 At heart of the eyeless deep 410 
 
 Watch, and wage war wide-eyed with all its wonders, 
 
i2 4 BIRTHDAY ODE. 
 
 Lower than the lightnings of its waves, and thunders 
 Of seas less monstrous than the births they bred ; 
 Keep high there heart and head, 
 And conquer : then for prize of all toils past 
 Feel the sea close them in again at last 
 
 A day of direr doom arisen thereafter ant. u. 
 
 With cloud and fire in strife 
 Lightens and darkens life 
 
 Round one by man's hand masked with living 
 laughter, 420 
 
 A man by men bemonstered, but by love 
 Watched with blind eyes as of a wakeful dove 
 And wooed by lust, that in her rosy den 
 As fire on flesh feeds on the souls of men, 
 To take the intense impure 
 Burnt-offering of her lure, 
 
BIRTHDAY ODE. 125 
 
 Divine and dark and bright and naked, strange 
 With ravenous thirst of life reversed and change, 
 As though the very heaven should shrivel and swell 
 With hunger after hell, 430 
 
 Run mad for dear damnation, and desire 
 To feel its light thrilled through with stings of fire. 
 
 Above a windier sea, tp. u, 
 
 The glory of Ninety-three 
 Fills heaven with blood-red and with rose-red beams 
 
 That earth beholding grows 
 
 Herself one burning rose 
 Flagrant and fragrant with strange deeds and 
 
 dreams, 
 Dreams dyed as love's own flower, and deeds 
 Stained as with love's own life-blood, that for love's sake 
 bleeds 44° 
 
126 BIRTHDAY ODE. 
 
 And deeper than all deeps of seas and skies sir. 12. 
 Wherein the shadows are 
 
 1 
 
 Called sun and moon and star 
 
 That rapt conjecture metes with mounting eyes, 
 
 Loud with strange waves and lustrous with new 
 
 spheres, 
 Shines, masked at once and manifest of years, 
 Shakespeare, a heaven of heavenly eyes beholden ; 
 And forward years as backward years grow golden 
 With light of deeds and words 
 And flight of God's fleet birds, 450 
 
 Angels of wrath and love and truth and pity ; 
 And higher on exiled eyes their natural city 
 Dawns down the depths of vision, more sublime 
 Than all truths born of time ; 
 And eyes that wept above two dear sons dead 
 Grow saving stars to guard one hopeless head. 
 
BIRTHDAY ODE. 127 
 
 Bright round the brows of banished age had 
 shone ant. 12. 
 
 In vision flushed with truth 
 
 The rosy glory of youth 
 
 On streets and woodlands where in days long 
 gone 460 
 
 Sweet love sang light and loud and deep and dear : 
 
 And far the trumpets of the dreadful year 
 
 Had pealed and wailed in darkness: last arose 
 
 The song of children, kindling as a rose 
 
 At breath of sunrise, born 
 
 Of the red flower of morn 
 
 Whose face perfumes deep heaven with odorous 
 light 
 
 And thrills all through the wings of souls in flight 
 
 Close as the press of children at His knee 
 
 Whom if the high priest see, 470 
 
128 BIRTHDAY ODE. 
 
 Dreaming, as homeless on dark earth he trod, 
 The lips that praise him shall not know for God. 
 
 O sovereign spirit, above ep. 12. 
 
 All offering but man's love, 
 All praise and prayer and incense undefiled ! 
 The one thing stronger found 
 Than towers with iron bound ; 
 The one thing lovelier than a little child, 
 And deeper than the seas are deep, 
 And tenderer than such tears Of love as angels 
 weep. 480 
 
 [ Dante, the seer of all things evil and good, sir. 13. 
 Beheld two ladies, Beauty 
 And high life-hallowing Duty, 
 That strove for sway upon his mind and mood 
 
BIRTHDAY ODE. 129 
 
 And held him in alternating accord 
 
 Fast bound at feet of either : but our lord, 
 
 The seer and singer of righteousness and wrong 
 
 Who stands now master of all the keys of song, 
 
 Sees both as dewdrops run 
 
 Together in the sun, 490 
 
 For him not twain but one thing twice divine ; 
 
 Even as his speech and song are bread and wine 
 
 For all souls hungering and all hearts athirst 
 
 At best ot days and worst, 
 
 And both one sacrament of Love's great giving 
 
 To feed the spirit and sense of all souls living. 
 
 The seventh day in the wind's month, ten years 
 gone , an. 13. 
 
 Since heaven-espousing earth 
 Gave the Republic birth, 
 
130 BIRTHDAY ODE. 
 
 The mightiest soul put mortal raiment on 500 
 
 That came forth singing ever in man's ears 
 
 Of all souls with us, and through all these years 
 
 Rings yet the lordliest, waxen yet more strong, 
 
 That on our souls hath shed itself in song, 
 
 Poured forth itself like rain 
 
 On souls like springing grain 
 
 That with its procreant beams and showers were fed 
 
 For living wine and sacramental bread ; 
 
 Given all itself as air gives life and light, 
 
 Utterly, as of right ; 510 
 
 The goodliest gift our age hath given, to be 
 
 Ours, while the sun gives glory to the sea. 
 
 Our Father and Master and Lord, 'p. '3- 
 
 Who hast thy song for sword, 
 For staff thy spirit, and our hearts for throne ; 
 
BIRTHDAY ODE. 131 
 
 As in past years of wrong, 
 Take now my subject song, 
 To no crowned head made humble but thine own ; 
 That on thy day of worldly birth 
 Gives thanks for all thou hast given past thanks of all on 
 earth. 520

 On the proposed desecration of Westminster Abbey 
 
 by the erection of a monument 
 
 to the son -of Napoleon III. 
 
 ' Let us go hence.' From the inmost shrine of grace 
 Where England holds the elect of all her dead 
 There comes a word like one of old time said 
 
 By gods of old cast out. Here is no place 
 
 At once for these and one of poisonous race. 
 Let each rise up from his dishallowed bed 
 And pass forth silent. Each divine veiled head 
 
 Shall speak in silence with averted face. 
 
 ' Scom everlasting and eternal shame 
 
 Eat out the rotting record of his name 
 
 "Who had the glory of all these graves in trust 
 And turned it to a hissing. His offence 
 
 Makes havoc of their desecrated dust 
 
 Whose place is here no more. Let us go hence.'

 forgiven the alteration of a word even in a verse from

 this leader in the advance of men made perfect through 
 doom of trial and long wayfaring, whose progress he furthers
