Egyptian poems. 
 
POTIPHAR'S WIFE. 
 (After the versions of the Koran, and the Persian poet Jfimi.) 
 
 I. 
 In Memphis, underneath the palms of Nile, 
 
 The Lady Asenath a house did build 
 For love of Hebrew Yusuf ; who, erewhile 
 
 With flame unquenchable her breast had filled : 
 The treasures of Prince Itfir 'stablished it 
 A summer-palace for her fancies fit. 
 
 II. 
 White, in the blue Egyptian sky, it soared 
 
 With mighty graven stones reared outwardly ; 
 This side the gate — enthroned — sate Horus, Lord, 
 
 Finger to lip ; and, on that other, Thmei, 
 Mother of Truth, holding her asp and wand, 
 Glared with great granite face across the land. 
 
 3 
 
POTIPHAR'S WIFE. 
 
 m. 
 
 Inwardly, by an alley of black shade, 
 
 The footstep passed on checkered slabs set square, 
 Into a walled court ; where a colonnade 
 
 Framed a glad garden full of odours rare 
 From heavy blooms and fruits. Without was seen 
 Golden Noon flaming, here 'twas Evening green ! 
 
 IV. 
 
 And all the wall was painted movingly 
 
 With high-wrought lore, and solemn-storied things : 
 Anubis, herding souls, was there to see, 
 
 And Thoth the Judge : and proud-apparelled kings 
 Driving to wars, and bringing spoil again, 
 Their chariot-wheels rose-red with blood of slain. 
 
 v. 
 And elsewhere Heaven was shown, with bliss unbroken, 
 Whereto those mild immortal sisters lead, 
 
POTIPHAR'S WIFE. 
 
 Isis and Nepthys ; and, for certain token, 
 
 Scarabs in holy rows. The limner's reed 
 Had drawn their foreclaws holding emblems three 
 Of Life, and Ohangelessness, and Sanctity. 
 
 VI. 
 
 And, elsewhere, frowned Amenti — Hell : — but over 
 The silver plumes swayed, teaching how the Dead 
 
 Should pass beyond dire Typhon, and discover 
 Paths to the happy Light, where Ea's bright head 
 
 Eebukes all darkness, Eegent of the Sun ; 
 
 And Phtah, Kneph, Athor — every Sacred One. 
 
 vn. 
 Also, that cloistered walk was compassed in 
 
 With pillars wonderful for work and hue : 
 This one a palm-stem ; that papyrus thin ; 
 
 Yonder, in stone, lotuses pink and blue. 
 And from the garden and the colonnade 
 A roofed way to the inner rooms was laid. 
 
POTIPHAR'S WIFE. 
 
 VIII. 
 For inner chambers were there seven : — each fashioned 
 
 With matchless wit to make each goodlier 
 Than that last seen. So, heart and eye, impassioned 
 
 Unto the inmost passed, devised by her, 
 High Asenath, for love's deep hiding-place, 
 Beautiful, marvellous, all peace and grace. 
 
 IX. 
 
 Through latticed loops Nile's qpoling ripple came — 
 
 Musical, lulling, — to that dim retreat 
 Which had for light one silver lamp's faint flame 
 
 Burning with fragrant oils before the feet 
 Of Pasht, in speckled stone, Pasht with cat's head, 
 And long arms on her levelled knees outspread. 
 
 x. 
 The forty carven columns round about 
 
 Showed each some masterpiece of subtle craft : 
 
POTIPHAR'S WIFE, 7 
 
 A musk-deer here, in river-reeds, breathes out 
 
 The very musk-scent from him : there, a waft 
 Of bulrush-heads to the quick current bend, 
 And the slow crocodiles to dry land wend 
 
 XI. 
 
 Sunning wet scales. And, next, a grey fox watched — 
 
 In syenite — doves on a tamarisk-tree 
 Done out of green rock. Wings and necks were matched 
 
 In lazulite and moonstone — fair to see ! 
 Midway a dais mounted to a bed 
 Of pearl and ebony, with soft cloths spread. 
 
 XII. 
 
 Upon the alcove there, and all around 
 
 Love tales were pictured : some swart lady wooed 
 
 A lover still unwilling ; he was bound 
 
 In dark warm arms, refusing : then 'twas viewed 
 
 How to her spells he melted : then, again, 
 
 How what he scorned he sued for — fond and fain. 
 
POTIPHAR'S WIFE. 
 
 XIII. 
 And those who thus Love's luxuries had won 
 
 Asenath seemed, and Yusuf. Limb for limb, 
 Lips, eyes, and brows, the Hebrew boy was done 
 
 Lifelike. The gemmed Egyptian dame with him 
 Shone Asenath herself, Asenath fair, 
 With robes ungirt, no fillet in her hair ! 
 
 XIV. 
 
 Into this palace 'twas her mind to bring 
 Yusuf the slave, and lead him, room by room, 
 
 Through all their passages of pleasuring 
 
 Till eyes' delight should heart's cold doubts consume. 
 
 But first herself she 'tired, and lovelier made 
 
 That loveliness, too rich before arrayed ! 
 
 xv. 
 Her eyebrows' arch with pencilled lines she builded, 
 And touched each underlid with jetty dye ; 
 
POTIPHAR'S WIFE. 9 
 
 Drew the long lashes separate, and gilded 
 
 Her flesh with palm-flow'r dust, to beautify 
 The ambered satin of her nape and neck ; 
 And deftly with red henna did she deck 
 
 XVI. 
 
 Her slender finger-tips ; and washed with myrrh 
 Her long black tresses, braiding theni in strings 
 
 Which, from the queenly gleaming crown of her 
 Swung to her knees, banded with beads and rings : 
 
 And, 'thwart her breasts — like lotus-blossoms blown — 
 
 A purple, spangled, sindon hath she thrown. 
 
 XVII. 
 
 Then she bade summon that fair Hebrew boy : 
 
 Who came, with palms across his faint heart folded, 
 
 And kissed her feet, and prayed : " What swift employ 
 May thy true servant find ? " Of manhood moulded 
 
 In every part was Yusuf ; and her eye 
 
 O'er-roamed him with a tender tyranny. 
 
io POTIPHAR'S'WIFE. 
 
 XVIII. 
 Yet more he shunned th' imperious look of love 
 
 Than if her glance had blaze of wrath displayed : 
 " But," quoth the Princess, " this night will I prove 
 
 If thou be servant true ! " Therewith she bade 
 Follow : — and, entering that first chamber-door, 
 Shot' the bronze bolt ; and from his brown throat tore - 
 
 XIX. 
 
 With swift impatient hand — the leathern thong 
 Marking him thrall ; and cried : " My soul's desire ! 
 
 I, thy hid handmaid, do thee daily wrong 
 Playing the mistress. By Ka's morning fire 
 
 Freed art thou ! Make my gift of freedom sweet 
 
 Lifting this love-sick giver from thy feet ! " 
 
 xx. 
 "With that she poured her black imperial hair 
 In waves upon his sandals. But, he said : 
 
POTIPHAR'S WIPE. II 
 
 " Thou, to whom Egypt's noblest kneel in fear, 
 
 Mock me not thus, on whom the charge is laid 
 To guard thee for my Lord ; or, if set free, 
 Great lady ! grant my soul his liberty ! " 
 
 XXI. 
 
 Silent she rose : — drew him on inwardly 
 Behind the second door, locking it hard : 
 
 Took from a chest, — cut of the almond-tree — 
 A cirque, with gods and scarabs set in sard : 
 
 " See now ! " she cried : " I crown thee Prince and Lord, 
 
 Will not those lips, made royal like mine, afford 
 
 XXII. 
 
 " The word I pine for, which shall pay for greatness ! 
 
 Now ma/st thou lift thy face, and answer sweet ; 
 We are as one ! Quit shame, forsake sedateness ! 
 
 Asenath wooes Lord Yvtsuf : — that is meet ! " 
 " Oh, Itfir's wife ! " he said, " meet would it be 
 I were made vultures' food, hearkening to thee ! " 
 
12 POTIPHAR'S WIFE. 
 
 XXIII. 
 
 Then, through those chambers third and fourth she passed, 
 And to the fifth and sixth she led him on, 
 
 Bolting each door behind : till at the last, — 
 Laden with gifts of jade, and turkis-stone, 
 
 And robes, and torques — she brought Him to her bower, 
 
 Where 'twas her thought to put forth Love's last power. 
 
 XXIV. 
 
 For all four walls with those light pictures burned, 
 Painted to life — lovers at play- — and these 
 
 Asenath seemed, and Yusuf. If he turned, 
 Unyielding, from the Princess at his knees, 
 
 On the same Princess gazed he, imaged sweet ; 
 
 And himself yielded, conquered, at her feet. 
 
 xxv. 
 And more than steadfast soul might well withstand 
 It was, to bring his troubled gaze again 
 
POTIPHAR'S WIFE. 13 
 
 To that great suppliant, wasting on his hand 
 Woeful caressings : and to mark what pain 
 Filled with clear tears the bright beseeching eyes ; 
 Heaved the soft breasts, as sea-tides sink and rise. 
 
 xxvx. 
 For, when she linked the last door's chain, and seized 
 
 His hands, and, desperate, her last prayer said, 
 He had been stone or snow to view, unpleased, 
 
 The lustrous glory of that low-bowed head, 
 The meekness of such majesty forgot, 
 The queenly pleading orbs, whose light was shot 
 
 XXVII. 
 
 Star- wise, through sparkling rain ; which more o'erpowered 
 By grace, than greatness, to the sweet surrender. 
 
 Like a charmed snake Conscience its cold hood lowered, 
 While,' soft as muted lute, in accents tender 
 
 Her rich lips murmured, " Oh, how long, how long 
 
 Wilt thou do thee and me this loveless wrong ? " 
 
14 POTIPHAR'S WIFE. 
 
 XXVIII. 
 " How long ? when I, who may command, implore, 
 
 Being named Mistress of the Mouths of Nile ? 
 Yet, if into the Ocean those did pour 
 
 Silver and gold all day, for one kind smile 
 From those close-curtained eyes, for one light kiss 
 I would let sea-born Kneph take all of this ! 
 
 XXIX. 
 
 " Give, then, mine heart its will, mine eyelids sleep ; 
 
 My head the pillow that can lull its woe. 
 Shall Asenath of Memphis vainly weep ? 
 
 I cry to thee by Him thou honourest so, 
 Thy Hebrew Jah — if He hath any ruth — 
 Show mercy ! put to fruit thy blossomed youth ! " 
 
 xxx. 
 " Yea ! by the marks thy God hath set on thee 
 To make thee most desirable, — thy hair 
 
POTIPHAR'S WIFE. 15 
 
 Glossed like an ibis' wing, — thy brows which be 
 Black rainbows to thy sunlike eyes, — the fair 
 Wonderful rounding of thy temples twain, 
 And that flower mouth, — which, when it opes again 
 
 XXXI. 
 
 " Cannot, and shall not say me ' nay ' — by these, 
 And all thy goodly strength, for Love's use given, 
 
 By my salt tears, and by my soul's disease, 
 
 Shut me no longer from the wished-for Heaven ; 
 
 Its gate is there ! there — in those arms tight-locked — 
 
 Open them — open ! for my heart hath knocked ! " 
 
 XXXII. 
 
 " What gives thee fear, when I am none afeard ? 
 
 Where is thy shame, if I am naught ashamed ? 
 What whisper of our comforts shall be heard 
 
 From these still walls ? How should thy blood be blamed 
 Mingling with mine, who come of Pharaoh's race ? 
 With mine, that have these brows, this breast, this face ? " 
 
16 POTIPHAR'S WIFE. 
 
 XXXIII. 
 
 " Ah, thou most high and most beguiling one ! " 
 Trembling he answered : " tempt me not to this ! 
 
 Easy it were to do, but ill, being done, 
 If I should sell white virtue for a kiss; 
 
 And break the bright glass of unstained faith 
 
 To burn for shame when our Lord Itfir saith 
 
 xxxrv. 
 " ' Yusuf, my Trusted ! ' By the living Lord, 
 
 Whose lamp the sun is, seeing everywhere, 
 Too sore I pity thee ! Too soon the word 
 
 Of ' yea ' would leap, if it were only fear 
 Which locks it in my lips : oh, let me go 
 And on some other day this might be so ! " 
 
 xxxv. 
 " Nay, nay ! " she cries : " for me is no to-morrow ! 
 Who, dying in a desert, puts aside 
 
POTIPHAR'S WIFE. 17 
 
 The water-skin ? Who, holding cure of sorrow, 
 
 Bears on with agony ? When could betide 
 A better time than now, a surer spot ? 
 What's wrought the Gods themselves will witness not ! " 
 
 xxxvi. 
 " My God will witness ! " quoth he, " and make know 
 
 My Master." " Oh, thy Master ! " brake in she, 
 " I have a herb of Mle, and, when cups flow, 
 
 Crowned at the banquet, there shall some night be 
 A strange new savour in his wine : — and, then 
 Sleep on his eye, and ceasing from 'midst men." 
 
 XXXVII. 
 
 Backward thereat he drew, as when a snake 
 From coralled jaws bares sudden fatal fangs ; 
 
 But she, distempered, from her belt did take 
 A knife : and, while with one fond hand she hangs 
 
 Hot on his neck, the other the blade kept 
 
 So pressed to the skin the scarlet blood outleapt. 
 
 B 
 
i POTIPHAR'S WIPE. 
 
 XXXVIII. 
 And with wild eyes she spake : " My soul hath clung 
 
 Too close to thine, Unkind ! to cling in vain ; 
 Mine ears have drank the music of thy tongue 
 
 Too long for life, except Love heals life's pain ! 
 See ! the fond dagger for my scorned blood yearns, 
 And drinks its first drop, where the bright point burns ! 
 
 xxxix. 
 " Deny me, and I drive this shining death 
 
 Straight to the heart which thou contemnest so ; 
 And when last love-sigh comes with latest breath, 
 
 And o'er thy cruel hands the red streams flow, 
 My murdered body shall Lord Itfir see, 
 And the dread charge of this will light on thee ! " 
 
 XL. 
 
 "With eager grasp he clutched her wrist, and cried : 
 " Great Asenath ! have pity on us both ! 
 
POTIPHAR'S WIPE. 19 
 
 From such mad frenzy turn thy steel aside. 
 
 Too fair — too dear — to die ! too — " She, not loath, 
 Deeming the boy relenting, sheathed her blade, 
 And with close-winding arms a warm chain made 
 
 XLI. 
 
 About his beating breast, and drew him down 
 
 Against her mouth, and dragged " nay ! nay ! " away 
 
 In such a cleaving kiss his sense did swoon, 
 
 His tongue, shut in with honey, naught could say ; 
 
 His eyes, meeting her eyes, such fierce flame took 
 
 They dropped their lids not to be lightning-strook. 
 
 XLII. 
 
 Then, while he sank back, will-less, on the silk, 
 She rose, of triumph sure, and deftly drew 
 
 From her smooth shoulders, — brown and smooth as milk 
 With palm-wine mixed — that scarf of purple hue 
 
 Veiling her bosom's splendours ; this she bore, 
 
 Quick-tripping, to the niche beside the door, 
 
20 POTIPHAR'S WIFE. 
 
 XLIII. 
 Where, on tall pedestal, in pride of place, 
 
 Sate Pasht the Cat, with orbs of green and gold ; 
 And, over those green eyes, and o'er the face 
 
 That garment hath she draped, so that its fold 
 Hid the House- Goddess to her porphyry chin. 
 " Why doest thou this ? " asks Yusuf . " If I sin—" 
 
 XLIV. 
 
 Answers glad Asenath — " It must not be 
 
 That Pasht, whom every morn I straitly serve 
 
 With musk, and flowers, and prayers — great Pasht, should 
 see; 
 That Pasht, with those sharp eyes, should know I swerve 
 
 From law : — for she would blab to Lords of Hell, 
 
 But what she doth not spy she will not tell." 
 
 XLV. 
 
 Turning, she made to clip him ; but he broke, 
 Like the sun bursting through a shattered cloud, 
 
POTIPHAR'S WIFE. 21 
 
 Fierce from her arms : and, all alight, he spoke 
 
 Angrily thus : " Take, too, thy skirt, and shroud 
 Yon stars that gaze upon us from God's sky ! 
 Cover, with fine-wove webs, the angry eye 
 
 XLYI. 
 
 " Of dread Jehovah, watching everywhere ! 
 
 Bind His free winds, and bid them whisper naught ! 
 Lay hand upon His lightnings, flashing clear, 
 
 And bribe them not to strike ! Let there be brought 
 His thunders, muzzled, to thy bower ; and win 
 Their awful voices to forgive our sin ! " 
 
 XLV1I. 
 
 " Fear'st thou those stony eyes thou didst enfold, 
 And shall not I my fathers' Lord fear more, 
 
 Whose glance none may shut out, "Whose eyes behold 
 All things in every place ? Tempted full sore, 
 
 Lady of Egypt ! was thy witless slave : 
 
 Now breaks he from thee, better faith to save ! " 
 
POTIPHAR'S WIFE. 
 
 XLVHI. 
 "With that he darted forth. And Asenath 
 
 Eeached at his waist-cloth, rending it atwain ; 
 One portion in her wrathful hand she hath, 
 
 One the fast-flying Yusuf doth retain ; 
 While, in his speed, he flings back bolts and bars 
 Till, 'scaped, he stands under the mindful stars. 
 
TO A PAIR OF EGYPTIAN SLIPPERS. 
 
 Tiny slippers of gold and green, 
 
 Tied with a mouldering golden cord ! 
 What pretty feet they must have been 
 
 "When Caesar Augustus was Egypt's lord ! 
 Somebody graceful and fair you were ! 
 
 Not many girls could dance in these ! 
 When did your shoemaker make you, dear, 
 
 Such a nice pair of Egyptian " threes " ? 
 
 Where were you measured ? In Safe, or On, 
 Memphis, or Thebes, or Pelusium ? 
 
 Fitting them featly your brown toes upon, 
 Lacing them deftly with finger and thumb, 
 
 I seem to see you/ — so long ago, 
 Twenty-one centuries, less or more ! 
 
 2 3 
 
24 TO A PAIR OF EGYPTIAN SLIPPERS. 
 
 And here are your sandals : yet none of us know 
 What name, or fortune, or face you bore. 
 
 Your lips would have laughed, with a rosy scorn, 
 
 If the merchant, or slave-girl, had mockingly said, 
 " The feet will pass, but the shoes they have worn 
 
 Two thousand years onward Time's road shall tread, 
 And still be footgear as good as new ! " 
 
 To think that calf-skin, gilded and stitched, 
 Should Eome and the Pharaohs outlive — and you 
 
 Be gone, like a dream, from the world you bewitched ! 
 
 Not that we mourn you ! 'Twere too absurd ! 
 
 You have been such a very long while away ! 
 Your dry spiced dust would not value one word 
 
 Of the soft regrets that my verse could say. 
 Sorrow and Pleasure, and Love and Hate, 
 
 If you ever felt them, have vaporised hence 
 To this odour — so subtle and delicate — 
 
 Of myrrh, and cassia, and frankincense. 
 
TO A PAIR OF EGYPTIAN SLIPPERS. 25 
 
 Of course they embalmed you ! Yet not so sweet 
 
 Were aloes and nard, as the youthful glow 
 Which Amenti stole when the small dark feet 
 
 Wearied of treading our world below. 
 Look ! it was flood-time in valley of Nile, 
 
 Or a very wet day in the Delta, dear ! 
 When your slippers tripped lightly their latest mile — 
 
 The mud on the soles renders that fact clear. 
 
 You knew Cleopatra, no doubt ! You saw 
 
 Antony's galleys from Actium come. 
 But there ! if questions could answers draw 
 
 From lips so many a long age dumb, 
 I would not tease you with history, 
 
 Nor vex your heart for the men which were ; 
 The one point to learn that would fascinate me 
 
 Is, where and what are you to-day, my dear ! 
 
 You died, believing in Horus and Pasht, 
 Isis, Osiris, and priestly lore ; 
 
26 TO A PAIR OP EGYPTIAN SLIPPERS. 
 
 And found, of course, such theories smashed 
 
 By actual fact on the heavenly shore. 
 What next did you do ? Did you transmigrate ? 
 
 Have we seen you since, all modern and fresh ? 
 Your charming soul — so I calculate — 
 
 Mislaid its mummy, and sought new flesh. 
 
 Were you she whom I met at dinner last week, 
 
 With eyes and hair of the Ptolemy black, 
 Who still of this find in the Fayoum would speak, 
 
 And to Pharaohs and scarabs still carry us back ? 
 A scent of lotus about her hung, 
 
 And she had such a far-away wistful air 
 As of somebody born when the Earth was young ; 
 
 And she wore of gilt slippers a lovely pair. 
 
 Perchance you were married ? These might have been 
 Part of your trousseau — the wedding-shoes ; 
 
 And you laid them aside with the garments green, 
 And painted clay Gods which a bride would use : 
 
TO A PAIR OF EGYPTIAN SLIPPERS. 27 
 
 And, may be, to-day, by Nile's bright waters 
 
 Damsels of Egypt in gowns of blue — 
 Great- great- great very- great grand-daughters 
 
 Owe their shapely insteps to you ! 
 
 But vainly I beat at the bars of the Past, 
 
 Little green slippers with golden strings ! 
 For all you can tell is that leather will last 
 
 When loves, and delightings, and beautiful things 
 Have vanished, forgotten — No ! not quite that ! 
 
 I catch some gleam of the grace you wore 
 When you finished with Life's daily pit-a-pat, 
 
 And left your shoes at Death's bedroom door. 
 
 You were born in the Egypt which did not doubt ; 
 You were never sad with our new-fashioned 
 sorrows : 
 You were sure, when your play-days on Earth ran 
 out, 
 Of play-times to come, as we of our morrows ! 
 
28 TO A PAIR OF EGYPTIAN SLIPPERS. 
 
 Oh, wise little Maid of the Delta ! I lay 
 
 Your shoes in your mummy-ehest back again, 
 
 And wish that one game we might merrily play 
 At " Hunt the Slipper " — to see it all plain ! 
 
THE EGYPTIAN PRINCESS. 
 
 There was fear and desolation over Egypt's swarthy land 
 
 From the holy city of the Sun to hot Syene's sand : 
 
 The sistrum and the cymbal slept, the dancing women 
 
 beat 
 No measure to the pipe and drum, with silver-slippered 
 
 feet: 
 For the Daughter of the King must die, the dark 
 
 magicians said 
 Before once more the Moon-God Khuns should lift his 
 
 horned head. 
 
 And, all those days, the temple-smoke loaded the heavy 
 
 air 
 "With prayers to Set the Terrible, who heareth not, to 
 
 hear; 
 
30 THE EGYPTIAN PRINCESS. 
 
 Those days the painted flags were down, the festal lamps 
 
 untrimmed, 
 Mute at their stones the millers ground, silent the Nile 
 
 boats skimmed : 
 And, through the land, lip passed to lip sad word of what 
 
 would be, 
 From Nubia's golden mountains to the gateways of the 
 
 Sea. 
 
 There, in the Palace Hall, where once her laugh had 
 
 loudest been, 
 Where, but last Feast Day she had worn the wreath of 
 
 Beauty's Queen, 
 She lay a lost but lovely thing, the wreath was on her 
 
 brow: 
 Alas ! the lotus could not match its chilly pallor 
 
 now! 
 And ever as the orb of Day sank lower in the sky, 
 Her breath came fainter, and the life seemed fading from 
 
 her eye. 
 
THE EGYPTIAN PRINCESS. 31 
 
 Mute o'er the dying maiden's form King Mycerinus 
 
 bends ; — 
 Not Pharaoh's might from this dread foe proud Egypt's 
 
 hope defends ! 
 Piteously moans he: "In this world, so dark without 
 
 thy smile ! 
 Hast thou one care thy Father's love, thy King's pledge 
 
 may beguile ? 
 Hast thou a last light wish ? — Tis thine, by all the Gods 
 
 on high ! 
 If Egypt's blood can win it thee, or Egypt's treasure buy ! " 
 
 How eagerly they wait her words! Upon the pictured 
 
 wall 
 In long gold lines the dying lights between the columns 
 
 fall; 
 Was it strange that tears were glistening where tears 
 
 should never be, 
 When Death had touched with fatal kiss the lips of such 
 
 as she ? 
 
32 THE EGYPTIAN PRINCESS. 
 
 Was it strange that warriors should raise a very woman's 
 
 cry 
 For help and hope to Athor's ears when such as she must 
 
 die? 
 
 Small boot of bearded leeches here ! not all . Arabia's 
 
 store 
 Of precious balms can purchase her one noon of sunshine 
 
 more! 
 Hush ! hush ! she speaks ! — the pale, drawn lips murmur 
 
 a parting speech ! 
 Ah, silence ! let no syllable be lost ! so whispers each. 
 That grey crow on the Palace wall which croaks and will

 bright ; 
 And strew palm-clusters on her breast while grey-haired 
 
 singers tell 
 Of the high Egyptian Lady, who loved the Sun so well.

THE GRATEFUL FOXES. 
 
 (A Japanese Story, in the Japanese Manner.) 
 
 PAET I. 
 
 In the month when cherry-trees 
 Paint the spring-time pink, 
 
 Lady Haru, with her maids, 
 Sate at Kodzu's brink : 
 
 Good it is to live on days like these ! 
 
 Eosy as a Musmee's lips, 
 
 Eed as blood on snow, 
 Bloomed the jewelled branches forth : 
 
 Eice-birds chirped below : 
 Over silver seas went white-sailed ships. 
 
 37 
 
38 THE GRATEFUL FOXES. 
 
 All about the blossoming rape, — 
 
 Glad to own its gold — 
 Butterflies and dragon-flies 
 
 Flitted ; — snakes were bold 
 To draw slow coils to sunlight. Every cape- 
 
 From its sleeping shadow rose : 
 
 Fuji- San was seen 
 Piercing Heaven's blue above, 
 
 Glassed in Ocean's green ; — 
 Doubled forests, doubled gleaming snows ! 
 
 Beautiful Haru San, 
 
 With her maids, at play, 
 Pulled the lilies ; in the stream 
 
 Bathed, heart-whole and gay : 
 Spring-time ripples in her sweet veins ran ! 
 
 By and by, along the river, 
 Comes a troop of boys : 
 
THE GRATEFUL FOXES. 39 
 
 Tis a fox-cub they have captured ! 
 
 Laughter loud, and noise 
 Who shall have its skin, and who its liver. 
 
 In the bamboo-thicket's gloom — 
 
 At safe distance — sit 
 Father fox and mother fox 
 
 Gazing after it : 
 " 0, Kaivwaiso ! Caught when Spring was come ! " 
 
 " Cruel, noisy boys ! " she said, 
 
 " Loose the little fox ! 
 See his honourable parents 
 
 Weeping, by the rocks ! " — 
 " lye ! iye ! " Each one shook his head. 
 
 '' Foxes' skins fetch half a bu 
 
 In Komadzu town ! 
 Foxes' livers — sliced and dried, 
 
 And well powdered down — 
 Sovereign physic for a fever brew ! " 
 
4 o THE GRATEFUL FOXES. 
 
 " Ah ! but when all things rejoice 
 
 In this flower-time feast : " — 
 Spake the Princess — " will you kill 
 
 Such a small, soft beast ? " 
 " Hime Sama ! " cried the village boys : 
 
 " Your august excuse we crave — 
 
 Yet — three hundred cash! 
 When would such a prize befall 
 
 If, with pity rash, 
 "We this cub unto the old ones gave ? "' 
 
 Thereupon Haru San 
 
 From her girdle drew 
 Copper money, silver money 
 
 Till it made a bu. 
 " See ! take twice the price ! " she said. They ran 
 
 Merry thence, to be so rich, 
 Leaving frightened, free, 
 
THE GRATEFUL FOXES. 41 
 
 In that lovely lady's lap 
 
 Poor Ko-Kitsune, 
 No more frightened, feeling her soft touch. 
 
 For she loosed, with tender hand, 
 
 Knot, and noose, and string : 
 Stroked the red fur smooth again 
 
 On the ruffled thing ; 
 Eolled cool ndkasi to make a band 
 
 Eound the little bleeding leg : 
 
 Offered fish and rice. 
 Plain as speech the black eyes said : 
 
 " Oh, that's very nice ! 
 Yet, go men nasaimashi, I beg 
 
 " Leave, kind Princess ! now to go 
 
 Where my parents wait 
 Close by yonder bean-straw stacks : 
 
 Sad must be their state : 
 That is my Okhdsan, whining so ! " 
 
42 THE GRATEFUL FOXES. 
 
 Therefore, while the old ones gaze, 
 
 Gently on the ground 
 Sets she down the wistful cub : 
 
 At one happy bound 
 Leaps it through the lilies, clears the belt of maize. 
 
 Wounded foot forgetting 
 
 To its kind it sped ; 
 Licked its loving dam all over, 
 
 Licked its father's head : 
 Gravely those old foxes, left and right, 
 
 Looked it over, neck and breast, 
 
 Scanned it up and down, 
 Smelled it from the feathery brush 
 
 To the smooth brown crown. 
 Then, upon their haunches humbly dressed, 
 
 Two sharp barks of gratitude 
 Honourably paid : 
 
THE GRATEFUL FOXES. 43 
 
 " Farewell ! We, your servants three, 
 
 Send you thanks, sweet maid ! 
 Sayonara ! " So they sought the wood. 
 
 She, with glad steps, homeward went 
 
 By the river banks, 
 Watching purple shadows climb 
 
 Fuji's wooded flanks, 
 Musing how fair Mercy brings Content. 
 
PAET II. 
 
 In the tenth Moon — none wist why — 
 
 Sick that Lady lay : 
 As from cherry boughs the bloom 
 
 Falls, so fell away 
 Cheeks' fresh tint, and ripe lips' rosy dye. 
 
 More and more the gentle face 
 
 Weary grew and wan : 
 Those that saw her in the Spring-tide — 
 
 Sweet Haru San — 
 Cried : " Oh, where is gone such youth and grace ? " 
 
 Grave physicians gathered nigh 
 
 Famed for healing lore ; 
 Sovereign herbs they culled and boiled : 
 
 44 
 
THE GRATEFUL FOXES. 45 
 
 Not one whit the more 
 Gained she glow of cheek or light of eye. 
 
 "Ever," so she sadly said, 
 
 " In the dead of night, 
 Something wicked, dreamy, dim 
 
 Seemed to rise in sight, 
 Hovered — horrible — about her bed." 
 
 Therefore, on each side her pillow 
 
 Watched a grey-haired nurse. 
 In the morning, nothing witnessed ! 
 
 Princess Haru worse ! 
 Drooping like a root-cut river-willow. 
 
 Six new nurses sate about 
 
 All with lamps alight. 
 " Setsunai ! " the Princess cries 
 
 At the dead of night. 
 All the nurses sleeping, all the lamps gone out ! 
 
46 THE GRATEFUL FOXES. 
 
 Thereupon, her maids fourscore 
 
 Kept full watch and ward. 
 At the " hour of the Eat " 
 
 Each maid sleeping hard ! 
 The torches quenched ! the Princess weeping sore ! 
 
 Next, five councillors of fame, 
 
 Wearing swords and frocks, 
 "Watched, by royal ordinance ; 
 
 Yet— at " hour of Ox " 
 All a-slumber ! Haru plagued the same ! 
 
 Isahaya Buzen spake : 
 
 " Maho-tsukai is here ! 
 'Tis some hellish witchcraft works, 
 
 Else, with one so dear, 
 AH our eyelids heavy what could make ? " 
 
 " Is there none to break the spell ? 
 Must our Princess die ? 
 
THE GRATEFUL FOXES. 47 
 
 With my fingers and my thumbs 
 
 Held I wide each eye ; 
 Suddenly, like one a-drunk, I fell ! " 
 
 Spake the Chief Priest, Eaitan : 
 
 " Nightly, while I pray, 
 Burning incense-sticks, and beating 
 
 Buddha's drum, — till day, 
 Standing near the shrine I see a man, 
 
 " Handsome, youthful, fixed of face, 
 
 He doth supplicate, 
 ' Set my Lady Haru free 
 
 From her evil state ! 
 Hear the prayer of Ito, Lord of Grace ! ' 
 
 " ' Tak'st/ I asked him, ' no repose ? ' 
 
 ' Holy Sir ! ' he said, 
 ' Prayer is all that I may offer. 
 
 Might I guard her bed 
 All Hell's fiends these eyes should never close! ' 
 
48 THE GRATEFUL FOXES. 
 
 " Being but your foot-soldier 
 
 Ito dares not speak ! " 
 Quoth the Shogun, " Let him be 
 
 Taicho — Captain ! Seek 
 Only how to save our daughter here ! " 
 
 Therefore, with those maids fourscore, 
 And those statesmen five, 
 
 Soldier Ito kept the watch. 
 Hardly half-alive 
 
 Lay the gentle Lady, moaning sore. 
 
 On the snow-white mats a cloth 
 
 Heedfully he spreads ; 
 Stealthily his dirk he drew ; 
 
 Then — when all their heads 
 Nodded, at the " hour of the Moth," 
 
 Deep he drives it in his thigh. 
 From the smarting wound 
 
THE GRATEFUL FOXES. 49 
 
 Spirts the blood : when slumber tempts 
 
 Twists he that blade round. 
 Others doze, but Ito shuts no eye ! 
 
 Soon he sees the Witch appear — 
 
 Oh, a dream of death ! 
 Wolf-shaped ! Wickedly its mouth 
 
 Sucks Haru's breath. 
 It6 leaps upon it, free of fear, 
 
 Grasps it : flings it : goes to Mil ! 
 
 Struggling shrieks that Shape : 
 " If you slay me she must die, 
 
 Grant me hence escape 
 And I tell what thing might make her well." 
 
 " Tell it, Hag ! " he cries, " and swear 
 
 Never more to prowl ! " 
 Pants the Witch, " I swear ! If you 
 
 Grate, in her rice-bowl, 
 Fox's liver, woes will disappear." 
 
50 THE GRATEFUL FOXES. 
 
 Ito from the Night-Wolf tore 
 
 One huge bristling ear. 
 In the morning all awakened, 
 
 Ah, the joy, the fear ! 
 Haru smiling ! Blood upon the floor ! 
 
 Statesmen five, and waitresses, 
 
 Sore ashamed to drowse ! 
 Gladness in the royal heart, 
 
 Joyaunee in the house ! 
 Ito's hurt Haru's own hand dresses ! 
 
 Then he showed the ear, and told them 
 
 How the Witch's breath 
 Spread a spell of slumber round 
 
 Deep as sleep of death. 
 " I myself had nodded, but, behold them ! 
 
 " With these humble wounds to aid 
 I remained awake, 
 
THE GRATEFUL FOXES. 51 
 
 Twisting still the dagger slowly : 
 
 Princess ! for thy sake 
 In my heart I would have turned that blade ! " 
 
 Near and far the King's word sped 
 
 Messengers to bring 
 Fox's liver. " If," quoth he, 
 
 " 'Tis this healing thing 
 Faithful Ito shall Haru wed." 
 
PART III. 
 
 Near and far the hunters sought,. 
 
 Eoaming every wood : 
 The court would pay the weight in gold 
 
 'Twas well understood : 
 Yet no fox's liver to be bought ! 
 
 To their mountain huts again 
 
 Sad those hunters came. 
 " All the foxes know ! " said they : 
 
 " Far and wide the fame 
 Passeth of this Princess and her pain." 
 
 Wrathful waxed the Lord — spake he : 
 
 " Loth I were to slay 
 One fox even, yet my child 
 
 5= 
 
THE GRATEFUL FOXES. 53 
 
 Pines : if not to-day 
 Conies this thing, then disembowelled be 
 
 " Our physicians ! Tell them so ! 
 
 Shall a Princess sink 
 For this matter of one fox ? " 
 
 Sadly sate, to think, 
 All the great court doctors, in a row. 
 
 Then they humbly sent to say : 
 
 " One man might succeed ! 
 Ito — please your Majesty — 
 
 Is the best at need : 
 Deign to grant for Ito one more day ! " 
 
 Ito reached his arrows down, 
 
 Strung his hunting-bow, 
 Took his knife, and rope, and nets, 
 
 In the woods to go : 
 Suddenly — at entrance of the town — 
 
54 THE GRATEFUL FOXES. 
 
 Comes a woman, with a jar ; 
 
 Very low she bows : 
 " Go men nasai ! I was bringing 
 
 This to my Lord's house : 
 'Tis what you would seek, fetched from afar." 
 
 Joyously he prays the price : 
 
 " Nay ! " says she, — and drew 
 Closer down upon her face 
 
 The country hood of blue, — 
 "Afterwards will very well suffice I" 
 
 Joyously he brings it home : 
 
 Glad those doctors grew ! 
 In a bowl of beaten gold 
 
 The precious broth they brew : 
 The Princess drinks ! the charm is overcome ! 
 
 Bright as silver star, sprung newly 
 Prom the purple sea, 
 
THE GRATEFUL FOXES. 55 
 
 From her bath she trips, and fastens 
 
 Jiban, imoji, 
 All the glory of her garments, duly : 
 
 In the garden, with her maid, 
 
 Walks, a moving Flower, 
 Fairer than the Kiku bloom 
 
 After autumn shower. 
 Quoth the Court, " But, is the bringer paid ? " 
 
 " Tenshi Sama !" I to said, 
 
 " Yonder she attends ! " 
 Quoth he, " Take this gold, and pay 
 
 What may make amends !" 
 At the spot they find a dog-fox — dead ! 
 
 Round its neck cause thus reported : 
 
 " 'Tis my husband here ! 
 For his child he gives his liver 
 
 To the Princess dear : 
 I — his very lowly wife — have brought it." 
 
FUJI-YAM A. 
 
 To the fairest of his friends 
 This her faithful poet sends. 
 
 On the top of Fuji-San 
 Now we stand ; and half Japan 
 Like a mighty map unrolled 
 Spreads beneath us, green and gold : 
 Southward, pale and bright, the sea 
 Shines, from distant Misaki, 
 Eound Atami's broken coast, 
 Till the silvery gleam is lost, 
 Mingling with the silvery sky, 
 Far away toward Narumi : 
 Northward, yonder line of blue — 
 
 Over Mino and Bi-shu — 
 
 56 
 
FUJI-YAMA. 57 
 
 (Say the guides) is Biwa Lake, 
 
 Forty ri removed, to take 
 
 The stork's road through the azure air. 
 
 Oh, if I had his painted pair 
 
 Of wings, I'd fly with them, and lend 
 
 Those strong plumes to my gentle friend 
 
 That she might come, without one soil 
 
 Of dust on her dear feet, or toil 
 
 Of weary walking, up this steep 
 
 To gaze on the Pacific deep, 
 
 Fuji's vast slope — a mountain-world — 
 
 With, half-way down, the soft clouds curled 
 
 Around her waist, an obi fair, 
 
 Scarlet and gold, like what you wear. 
 
 The rivers, running far below, 
 Like white threads on a green cloth show ; 
 The towns are little purple spots, 
 The villages faint greyish dots ; 
 Over the tallest mountains round 
 
58 FUJI-YAM A. 
 
 We gaze, from Fuji's monstrous mound, 
 
 And see far past them, just as you 
 
 Spy Mita clear from Azabu, 
 
 O-Yama to a mole-hill shrinks, 
 
 Buk6zan, now, one hardly thinks 
 
 As high as Kompira, that hill 
 
 You climbed, with such good heart and will 
 
 At Ikao, in the pelting rain : 
 
 We spy those Ikao ranges plain 
 
 Beyond Koshiu, and near to view 
 
 Karuizawa's green tops, too. 
 
 What sunny hours, what lightsome times 
 
 We had there, in our walks and climbs ! 
 
 I like the mountains of Japan 
 
 Best, at your side, Yoshi San ! 
 
 Gotemba to Subashiri 
 The road was rough, yet fair to see ; 
 Eed lilies glittered in the grass, 
 Green waved the rice, as we did pass 
 
FUJI-YAMA. 59 
 
 Nearer to this majestic Hill, 
 
 Which stately grew, and statelier still 
 
 In ever-shifting clouded dress 
 
 As we drew close ; its loveliness 
 
 Most perfect when at sunset-time 
 
 The mists rolled from its brow sublime 
 
 And showed — o'erhanging the long street 
 
 (Busy with many a pilgrim's feet 
 
 And fluttering with ten thousand flags) — 
 
 Proud Fuji to her topmost crags 
 
 Steel-blue against a saffron sky — 
 
 A Queen ! A World ! A Mystery ! 
 
 At daybreak, from Subashiri 
 We started forth, with horses three, 
 To thread the woodland path, which leads 
 By groves and streams and shrines and meads, 
 Nigher and higher, till we find 
 Umagaeshi, and leave behind 
 Our steeds. Henceforward every ri 
 
6o FUJI-YAM A. 
 
 With sturdy foot must traversed be : 
 And Fuji, lifting rosy red 
 Beyond the pines her peerless head, 
 Seems still as far, as when, last night, 
 We watched her in the sunset's light. 
 
 While yet we paced the forest road 
 Where green woods made a garment broad 
 For Fuji's knees, and dappled shade 
 Upon the speckled pumice played, 
 I wished you by, that you might share 
 That sweetness of the upland air 
 And glow of the glad sunburst, now 
 Crowning with gold Queen Fuji's brow ; 
 But when we came where snow-slips tear 
 The flanks of the red mountain bare, 
 And thence to climb the cone began, 
 'Mid dykes and crags, Yoshi San ! 
 At each hard step I did rejoice 
 Not to be hearing your soft voice, 
 
PUJI-YAMA. 61 
 
 And not to see your zori tread 
 That rugged way, which still o'erhead 
 Zigzagged the shoulder of the crag, 
 All shifting lava-dust and slag ; 
 Almost for men too steep and rough 
 Winds the wild path ! We had enough 
 Of breathless, toilsome tramp all day ' 
 Before our long line made its way 
 To "Station Eight'' — Hachi-go-me, 
 Glad was I, 'mid such mist and rain 
 To know you safe in the warm plain. 
 
 Clambering from " Station Eight's " black rock 
 We topped the cone at nine o'clock, 
 Where this I write, to keep my word, 
 And prove that, wholly undeterred 
 By distance, high up in the sky 
 My thoughts back to my sweet Friend fly 
 Down from the crest of green Japan 
 To chat with you, Yoshi San ! 
 
THE MUSMEE. 
 
 The Musmee has brown velvet eyes 
 
 Curtained with satin, sleepily ; 
 You wonder if those lids would rise 
 
 The newest, strangest sight to see ; 
 But when she chatters, laughs, or plays 
 
 Koto, biwa, or samisen, 
 No jewel gleams with brighter rays 
 
 Than flash from those dark lashes then. 
 
 The Musmee has a small brown face, 
 " Musk-melon seed " its perfect shape : 
 
 Jetty arched eyebrows ; nose to grace 
 The rosy mouth beneath ; a nape, 
 
 And neck, and chin, and smooth, soft cheeks 
 
 Carved out of sun-burned ivory, 
 
 62 
 
THE MUSMBE. 63 
 
 With teeth, which, when she smiles or speaks, 
 Pearl merchants might come leagues to see ! 
 
 The Musmee's hair could teach the night 
 
 How to grow dark, the raven's wing 
 How to seem ebon ! Grand the sight 
 
 When, in rich masses, towering, 
 She builds each high black-marble coil, 
 
 And binds the gold and scarlet in ; 
 And thrusts, triumphant, through the toil 
 
 The Kanzashi, her jewelled pin. 
 
 The Musmee has wee faultless feet, 
 
 With snow-white tabi trimly decked, 
 Which patter down the city street, 
 
 In short steps, slow and circumspect ; 
 A velvet string between her toes 
 
 Holds to its place th' unwilling shoe : 
 Pretty and pigeon- like she goes, 
 
 And on her head a hood of blue. 
 
64 THE MUSMBE. 
 
 The Musinee wears a wondrous dress — 
 
 Kimono, obi, imoji — 
 A rose-bush in Spring loveliness 
 
 Is not more colour-glad to see ! 
 Her girdle holds her silver pipe, 
 
 And heavy swing her long silk sleeves 
 With cakes, love-letters, milcan ripe, 
 
 Small change, musk-bag, and writing-leaves. 
 
 The Musmee's heart is slow to grief, 
 
 And quick to pleasure, dance, and song ; 
 The Musmee's pocket-handkerchief 
 
 A square of paper ! All day long 
 Gentle, and sweet, and debonair 
 
 Is, rich or poor, this Asian lass : 
 Heaven have her in its tender care, 
 
 medetd gozarimas ! * 
 
 * Japanese for " May it be well with thee ! "

 Lightly through your looking-glass,

 Nothing is, but all things seem.

 Till her dear eyes, dark as night, 
 
 Gleam like yours with gay delight.

66 AN INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Full of fun as heav'n of blue, 
 
 Yet demure and studious, too : 
 
 Yoshi ! give your soft small hand 
 
 To Alice, fresh from Dreaming-Land ! 
 
 Sweetest girl in England she, 
 
 So, make friends — and think of me ! 
 
THE EMPEROR'S BREAKFAST. 
 
 Fifteen centuries ago, 
 
 Emperor Nintok of Japan 
 
 Walked upon his roof, at morning, 
 
 Watching if the work began 
 
 Well — to gild the cedar frieze 
 
 Of his palace galleries ; 
 
 Well — to nail the silver plates 
 
 Of his inner palace gates ; 
 
 For the Queen would have it so 
 
 Fifteen hundred years ago ! 
 
 Walking on his roof, he spied 
 
 Streets and lanes and quarters teeming 
 
 Saw his city spreading wide : 
 
 Ah ! but poor and sad in seeming 
 67 
 
68 THE EMPEROR'S BREAKFAST. 
 
 Showed those lowly wooden huts 
 
 Underneath the King's gates gleaming. 
 
 Oh ! he knows each wicket shuts 
 
 One world out and one world in : 
 
 This so great, and that so small, 
 
 Yet to those plain folks within 
 
 The little world their all in all ! 
 
 Just then, the waiting-maids bore through 
 
 The breakfast of King Nintoku. 
 
 Quoth the Emperor, gazing round, 
 '"Wherefore — when my meats abound — 
 See I not more smoke arise 
 From these huts beneath mine eyes ? 
 Chimneys jut into the air, 
 Yet no chimney-reek is there 
 Telling how the household pot 
 Bubbles glad with gohan * hot ! 
 Gild me no more galleries 
 * Boiled rice. 
 
THE EMPEROR'S BREAKFAST. 69 
 
 If my people lose the gold ! 
 
 Let my doors unplated go 
 
 If the silver leaves them cold ! 
 
 This city of all tax I ease 
 
 For three years : We decree it so ! 
 
 From those huts there shall be smoke ! " 
 
 Thus the Emperor Nintok spoke. 
 
 Three years sped. Upon his roof 
 That Monarch paced again. Aloof 
 His Empress hung, ill-pleased to see 
 The snows drip through her gallery, 
 The gates agape for cracks, and grey 
 With wear and weather. " Consort ! say 
 If thus the Emperor of Japan 
 Should lodge, like some vile peasant man 
 Whose thatch leaks for a load of straw ? " 
 " Princess august ! what recks a flaw," 
 Nintok replied, " in gate or wall 
 When, far and wide, those chimneys all 
 
70 THE EMPEROR'S BREAKFAST. 
 
 Fling their blue house-flags to the sky- 
 Where the Gods count them ? Thou and I 
 Have part in all the poor folks' health : 
 A people's weal makes a King's wealth ! " 
 
"SAYONARA." 
 
 Which word, of all the words for parting made, 
 
 Seems best to say, and sweetest, being said ? 
 
 Which holds most tenderness, and least despair, 
 
 And lingers longest in the loved one's ear ? 
 
 Yoshi San ! Fuku San ! when we 
 
 Must say " Good-bye," shall that the last word be, 
 
 Our English " God be with you ? " or, in phrase 
 
 Of Persia, " Khuda hafiz" — "All your days 
 
 Heaven keep you ! " Or, as the Egyptians do, 
 
 " Lailatak said ! " — " Happy night to you ! " 
 
 Or, in the Arab manner, hand on brow, 
 
 " Salaam aleikum ! " — " Peace be with you now ' " 
 
 Or, in the soft Italian — " Addio !" 
 
 " To God I give you, since — alas ! — I go." 
 
 " Ora d' partenza ! " Or, as they of Spain, 
 71 
 
72 "SAYONARA." 
 
 " Hasta la vista ! " — " Till we meet again ! " 
 
 " Vaya con Dios ! " — " Go thy ways with God ! " 
 
 Or lightly, with the lively Frenchman's nod, 
 
 " Bon soir, mais sans adieu ! " — " Good- night, and yet 
 
 No speech of parting till once more we are met ! " 
 
 Or solemn Sanskrit " Swdgatam ; " or word 
 
 Of guttural German, at hand-shaking heard, 
 
 " Auf wiedersehen." Or any far-fetched speech 
 
 Of India, China, Russia, seeking each 
 
 Some pretty gentle wish to charm away 
 
 The sorrow of the thing they have to say ? 
 
 No ! it shall not be any one of these, 
 
 But " Sayonara," in soft Japanese ; 
 
 For this at worst, means " Since it must be so ! " 
 
 And, while we speak the sad word, who can know 
 
 We shall not change it to " So de wa nai I " 
 
 And have no Sayonara then to say ? 
 
AT SEA. 
 
 Tangled and torn, the white sea-laces 
 
 Broider the breast of the Indian Deep : 
 Lifted aloft the strong screw races 
 
 To slacken and strain in the waves which leap : 
 The great sails swell : the broad bows shiver 
 
 To green and silver the purple sea ; 
 And, down from the sunset, a dancing river 
 
 Flows, broken gold, where our ship goes free. 
 
 Too free ! too fast ! With memories laden 
 I gaze to the northward where lies Japan : 
 
 Oh, fair and pleasant, and soft- voiced maiden ! 
 You are there, too distant ! Yoshi San ! 
 
 You are under those clouds by the storm-winds shaken, 
 A thousand ri, as the sea-gull flies, 
 
 73 
 
74 AT SEA. 
 
 As lost as if Death, not Time, had taken 
 My eyes away from your beautiful eyes. 
 
 Yet, if it were Death, of Friends, my Fairest ! 
 
 He could not rend our spirits in twain : 
 They came too near to be less than nearest 
 
 In the world where true hearts mingle again. 
 But sad is the hour we sigh farewell in, 
 
 And, for me, whenever they name Japan, 
 All grace, all charm, of the land you dwell in 
 
 Is spoken in saying " Yoshi San ! " 
 
THE "NO" DANCE. 
 
 Yamada San said : " Come, and see the ' No ' — 
 Those songs and dances of our old Japan : — 
 They make the ancient music faithfully 
 This evening at my Lord the Governor's ; 
 You shall be honourably pleased. What best 
 Kyoto boasts of geishas will be there, 
 With Nara's koto-player ; Haru San 
 To beat the drum. Yuki San's the Boy ; 
 Tsuru plays the Fairy in first dance — 
 The ' Feather Dress.' " 
 
 So to the Governor's 
 That evening, through the lanes of lamps, we went. 
 
 And, when the feast was ended on the mats — 
 Three sides of a full square of friendliness,

78 THE "NO" DANCE. 
 
 And, behold I 
 Suddenly — hanging on a branch of fir — 
 A wondrous sight he spies I This samisens 
 Twangle surprise, the drums beat ES-M-hS, 
 While Yuki San, a-tiptoe, reaches down 
 A many-tinctured, fairy-patterned robe- 
 All gold and scarlet and celestial white — 
 Of feathers wove, but feathers of such birdn 
 As surely never perched on earthly tree ! 
 The lining shot; with airy tender tints 
 As of a broken rainbow. Glad he scans 
 The strange bright treasure-trove, Another mich 
 Suruga never saw ! — Narumi's looms 
 Never dreamed such a marvel ! Light of heart 
 Into his hut dances Hakuriyd, 
 Casting the nets aside to clasp the robe. 
 
 Next, — very softly trill the samisens, 
 The drums beat muted, and the flute pipes forth 
 Expectant tones, while — light an falling snow 
 
THE "NO" DANCE. 79 
 
 Or breath of morning breeze, whispering its way 
 Through the awakening maple-leaves — glides in 
 A Heavenly Fairy ! 'Tis Tsuru San : 
 And neck, breast, slender little amber limbs 
 Are bare as the brown sea - sand : just one 
 
 cloth 
 Tied with a sky-blue string about the waist 
 Half covers her. Sweetly and movingly 
 At the hut-door she sings : " Oh, thou within 
 That hast my robe of feathers ! Open now 
 And give what is not thine, but only mine ! " 
 
 Then see we (kneeling watchful on the mats) 
 Yuki San come tripping from the hut 
 Clasping the feather dress. But when she marks 
 Tsuru San bowing before the door 
 Look how she stands — Yuki the Fisher-lad — 
 Out of his wits with well-shown wonderment ! 
 So beautiful the dark-eyed weeper is 
 Unclad, and pleading with those lovely tears. 
 
80 THE "NO" DANCE. 
 
 Down on his face falls young Hakuriyo 
 And thus they talk, with samisens to help : 
 
 She. " Fisher-boy ! give back to me 
 
 The dress I hanged upon the tree ! " 
 
 He. " Oh thou ! well-clad in beauty bright ! 
 Form of glory, face of light ! 
 Honourably deign to tell 
 Where such charms celestial dwell. 
 What thy name, august, may be, 
 Fairest ! first reveal to me ! " 
 
 She. " I am come from Heaven's domain : 
 If I spoke it ne'er so plain 
 You my name could never hear 
 As the Angels say it there. 
 Flying past your little star, 
 All so fair it looked, afar — 
 Silvery sea and snow-tipped hill — 
 
THE "NO" DANCE. 81 
 
 That I had an idle will 
 
 Once to set my foolish feet 
 
 On those flowers that shone so sweet. 
 
 So I laid my robe aside 
 
 In the tree which you espied : 
 
 And, without it — shame and woe ! 
 
 To my home I cannot go ! " 
 
 He. " Loveliest Lady ! little mind 
 Had I, at the first, my find 
 Ever to surrender. Now 
 When you deign to tell me how, 
 If I keep it, you must stay, 
 No more for your garment pray ! " 
 
 She. " Ah ! why did I quit my sky 
 
 Where yon happy sea-birds fly, 
 And the wild swan spreads her wings 
 While the wind between them sings ; 
 And the free storks urge their flight 
 
&2 THE "NO" DANCE. 
 
 Strong across the spangled night ? 
 Eender back my robe, and soon 
 I shall soar beyond the Moon, 
 Thread the star-paths, and pursue 
 Light and life beyond the blue. 
 Mortal ! 'tis impiety 
 Not to give mine own to me ! " 
 
 He. " Always I would have you here, 
 
 Fairy ! bright, and sweet, and dear. 
 
 Will you not, for love of love 
 
 Let go longing for above ? 
 
 I would let go all but life 
 
 If I might but make you wife ! " 
 
 She. " Fisher-boy ! this sea of thine 
 
 Maddens thee with mighty wine ! 
 Fair thou art : yet thou and I 
 Are as is the sea and sky, 
 Which may meet but cannot marry ; 
 
THE "NO" DANCE. 83 
 
 If, for love of you, I'd tarry, 
 'Twere as though a cloud should wed 
 With some hill-top. Soft night sped 
 Lone the hill rises. Touch my hand 
 And better shalt thou understand." 
 
 He. " I cannot take it ! Plain I see 
 
 The soft, smooth skin, so velvety, 
 
 Of hand and wrist ! Yet, when 1 clasp, 
 
 It is a mist melts in my grasp. 
 
 Now, I would give you back this dress 
 
 If you will change such loveliness 
 
 To solid flesh, not floating air, 
 
 Oh, thou than living flesh more fair ! " 
 
 She. " Peace ! most foolish boy and fond ! 
 I am what those are beyond ; 
 More substantial, didst thou know, 
 Than this flesh and blood below. 
 Give me back the robe whereby 
 
84 1 THE u NO" DANCE. 
 
 I may once more roach my sky, 
 Ami, for deed of gentilesse, 
 Wlieu L don again my dress, 
 I will dance, to do thee pleasure, 
 One round of our heavenly measure ; 
 1 will sing, to comfort thee, 
 One strain of the melody 
 Heard by souls divine, in sphere 
 Where the Light is lovelier I " 
 
 Uk. "Ah ! to see you fly 1 dread 
 
 When 1 yield this wonder I Tread 
 First your measure, Ijady sweet 1 
 Then I place it at your feet," 
 
 She. " Hhame upon thee ! I have heard 
 Men will break a plighted word, 
 - But with uh this is not so ! 
 All unveiled the Spirits go ; 
 And nay is nay, and yes is yes : 
 I dance not else ! Give me the dress ! " 
 
THE "NO" DANCE. 8j 
 
 Then see we Hakuriyo, Mushing deep, 
 Lay at her foot the golden-feathered gown 
 Alight with silvery white and scarlet fires. 
 And while the sainisens make chords of joy 
 Tsuru kneels, and gathers wistfully 
 The shining marvel round her shoulders : laughs 
 For pleasure to be safe re-plumed : then glides — 
 With voice of melting notes, and paces fair 
 Falling as light as Kr-eoues. to the dance : 
 
 Smk. " Now it is mine again 
 I am fain, I am fain 
 To pay you true, as a Spirit should do 
 With secrets of Heaven made plain. 
 Yet, not for long can I sing this song, 
 Nor dance the dance of the skies : 
 Your earth shows fair. 
 But dense is the air, 
 And we wonder not if your eyes 
 A very small part of the splendour see 
 
86 THE "NO" DANCE. 
 
 Laid upon river and lea : 
 
 Only one gleam of the glory shed 
 
 From Fuji's diademed head 
 
 Down to this leaf of the momiji-tree 
 
 Which knows and courtesys to me : 
 
 For I and the maple-leaf are one 
 
 As we hear, as we hear 
 The tender unnoticed tone 
 
 Of your Earth's voice, ceaseless and clear : 
 And we move to the swing 
 Of your star, in the ring 
 She weaves round the flying Sun ; 
 
 Weaves so — so — so : — 
 Which the waves understand 
 And the wind and the sand : 
 
 But you cannot ever know ! " 
 
 'Twere good you should have watched Tsuru San 
 Deftly pace this, with little lifted feet 
 Shod in the white silk tdbi : and soft lips 
 
THE "NO" DANCE. 87 
 
 Making the melodies to guide her feet, 
 The music sitting silent ; or, at most, 
 Dropping a high note in now and again. 
 Then, with her fan before her face, or waved 
 In dreamy curves, she sang a verse of Love 
 We, — and the Fisher-boy — still on our knees. 
 
 She. " And Love — sweet Love ! 
 
 Oh less than the splendour spread 
 From Fuji's head 
 To the sea, and the grass, and the grove 
 Know ye the deep things of this ! 
 A little men taste its bliss 
 In the belov'd one's charms, 
 And the close-wound arms, 
 And the spirits which almost kiss 
 Through their dividing bodies ; and delight 
 Of mother-love and father-love, and friends 
 Hand-fast, and heart-fast ! But Death's sudden night 
 Comes ; and in gloom, it seems, Love's sunshine ends. 
 
88 THE "NO" DANCE. 
 
 Thus Love's warm golden wing 
 Shields not from shuddering 
 The souls it covers, chilled with dread to part. 
 
 Ah ! could I tell, 
 
 Who see it near and well, 
 The far truth freely to each beating heart 
 
 Not on your tearful planet once again 
 
 Should Love be pain, 
 Nor from your blinded eyes should salt tears start. 
 
 But that which I would teach 
 
 Hath in your human speech 
 No words to name such comfort rich and great ; 
 
 Therefore dream on, asleep, 
 
 And, dreaming, weep ! 
 And wait ! a little, — yet a little wait ! " 
 
 So, or in suchwise, in soft Japanese, 
 The ancient uta flowed ; and fluttered to it 
 Tsuru San's light silks, kirtle and sleeve ; 
 And closed and opened to it her brown arms ; 
 
THE "NO" DANCE. 89 
 
 While crystal tears stood in her eyes at times 
 Singing of sorrowful Love. Till, with a laugh 
 She stayed, and brake into the Planet Dance : 
 Joyously circling, singing, beating time : 
 
 She. " Steps of my silvery star 
 Dancing alone, afar 
 So still, so slow 
 No mortal may know 
 How stately her footsteps are ; 
 Nor what fair music is guide of her feet, 
 Solemn and high and sweet ; 
 All in a tune 
 To the Sun and the Moon, 
 And the drums that the glad worlds beat. 
 As long a path as your little orb goes, 
 From the first of her flowers to the last of her snows 
 My white Home sweeps in a night ; 
 Knowing not haste, knowing no rest, 
 For delight 
 
go THE "NO" DANCE. 
 
 In the life of her silver light 
 And joy of the wide blue waste, 
 
 Where the Angels pass 
 
 Like fish through the sea's green glass, 
 But you cannot see that sight ! " 
 
 And, while we did not speak for wistfulness, 
 
 Watching the woven paces, wondering 
 
 To note how foot and tongue kept faultless time 
 
 To dreamy tinkling of the samisens, 
 
 Across her breast that golden-feathered gown 
 
 Softly she drew ; spread her brown arms like wings 
 
 And passed ! — Yuki San and we alone ! 
 
 The "No" Dance ended! 
 
 " Thanks, dear Tsuru San ! 
 Yet half we wish Yuki had not given ! "

A SONG. 
 
 Once — and only once — you gave 
 
 One rich gift, which Memory 
 Shuts within itself, to save 
 
 Sweet and fresh, while life may be : 
 Shuts it like a rose-leaf treasured 
 
 In the pages of a book, 
 "Which we open, when heart-leisured, 
 
 Now and then — softly to look. 
 
 If I told you of that gift 
 
 How and when, the tend'ring of it, 
 Would you, out of rose-leaf thrift, 
 
 Claim from me the rend'ring of it ? 
 
 93 
 
94 A SONG. 
 
 That might make it two for one 
 ('Twas of such unwonted kind !) 
 
 Half a mind I have to tell you 
 Not to tell you half a mind. 
 
MOTHERS. 
 
 (A Dialogue at Boston, Mass., U.S.A.) 
 
 " See there," he said, " my fair American ! 
 
 Yon noisy child 
 I'd like to choke, being but ' brutal man ; ' 
 
 That Mother mild 
 
 " Takes all its howls for music, comforts it 
 
 "With song and kiss : 
 And gives it, at the loudest of its fit, 
 
 Her milky bliss. 
 
 " And there again, — yon little lambkin bleating, 
 
 Made for mint-sauce : 
 At its first cry the Ewe quits clover-eating 
 
 And runs, perforce. 
 
 95 
 
96 MOTHERS. 
 
 " And yet again, that purple-winged hen-starling, 
 
 Hungry — I'll vouch it ! 
 Flies with a fat grub to her nested darling, 
 
 Nor dreams to pouch it ! 
 
 " She-mercy everywhere, she-pitying 
 
 In helpless season ! 
 You Boston girls seem up to everything : 
 
 Tell me the reason." 
 
 "Why, certainly !" she smiled, "don't poets know 
 
 Better than others ? 
 God can't be always everywhere : and, so, 
 
 Invented Mothers."

 (To the Memory of Edward Lloyd, Esq.)

SONNET TO AMERICA. 
 
 America ! At this thy Golden Gate, 
 New travelled from those portals of the West, 
 Parting — I make my reverence ! It were best 
 
 With backward looks to quit a Queen in state ! 
 
 Land of all lands most fair, and free, and great, 
 Of countless kindred lips, wherefrom I heard 
 
 Sweet speech of Shakespeare — keep it consecrate 
 For noble uses ! Land of Freedom's Bird, 
 Fearless and proud ! so let him soar that, stirred 
 
 By generous joy, all lands may learn from thee 
 A larger life, and Europe, undeterred 
 
 By ancient dreads, dare also to be free 
 
 Body and Soul, seeing thine eagle gaze 
 
 Undazzled, upon Freedom's sun full-blaze. 
 
THE BRITISH EMPIRE. 
 
 FROM CLAUDIA N. 
 (De secnndo Consulatu Stilichonis.) 
 
 " Hcec est in gremium Victos quoe sola recepit 
 Humanumque genus communi nomine fovit 
 Matris non domince ritu : civesque vocavit 
 Quos domuit, nexuque pio longinqua revinxit." 
 
 She alone knew, of victors tirst and best, 
 To fold the vanquished to her pardoning breast : 
 To gather 'neath her wings, in one great brood, 
 The tribes of Man, by might, then love, subdued, 
 Mother, not Queen, calling those sons by birth 
 Whom she had conquered — linking ends of Earth. 
 
THE SULTAN'S RING. 
 (From the Persian.) 
 
 A neck-exalting Lord, a Median King, 
 
 Heard one in rags, sore-troubled, say this thing 
 
 Under the palace-arch — haggard and faint 
 
 Booking upon the Carpet of Complaint : 
 
 " Oh, Sultan ! to the Door of God goest thou 
 
 As I to thine : therefore accomplish now 
 
 Mercy towards me, as thou for mercy prayest : 
 
 ' Make glad my heart ! ' To Allah so thou say est, 
 
 Therefore, from Sorrow's darkness bring forth mine ! ' 
 
 Now, on that Sultan's thumb a stone did shine, 
 
 Pigeon-blood ruby, such a gem the Shroff 
 
 Faltered in telling what would weigh enough 
 
 In gold tomans to price it. In the night 
 
 It glowed as Day had dropped spark of rose-light 
 
THE SULTAN'S RING. 101 
 
 From th' afternoon : and in the Day it seemed 
 As though a red imprisoned sunbeam gleamed. 
 
 The Sultan drew this wonder from his thumb, 
 While, at his stirrup-iron, grim and dumb, 
 The Aghas watched, stroking their beards. He drew 
 The ruby off, and quotha : " It was new 
 Upon our lips that prayer ! God may delay 
 To hear us if we turn our hearts away 
 When others ask. Go, sell this ring, and buy 
 Oil of Content for Sore of Misery ! " 
 
 Better a king's hand lacking royal seal 
 Than king's ear guilty of unheard appeal ! 
 
CHAPTER I. OF THE DHAMMAPADA. 
 
 Thought in the mind hath made us. What thou art 
 By thought was wrought and builded. If a soul 
 
 Hath evil thoughts, pain comes as wheels of cart 
 Behind its oxen roll. 
 
 All that we are is what we think and will : 
 
 Our thoughts shape us and frame. If one endure 
 
 In purity of thought, joy follows still 
 As his own shadow — sure ! 
 
 " He hath defamed me, wronged me, broken trust, 
 Abased me, beaten me ! " If one shall keep 
 
 Thoughts like these angry words within his breast 
 Hatreds will never sleep ! 
 
 ,! 
 
 I02 
 
CHAPTER I. OF THE DHAMMAPADA. 103 
 
 " He hath defamed me, wronged me, vilely wrought, 
 Abased me, beaten me ! " If one shall send 
 
 Such angry words away for pardoning thought 
 Hatreds will have an end. 
 
 For, never anywhere at any time 
 
 Did hatred cease by hatred. Always 'tis 
 
 By Love that hatred ceaseth. From the prime 
 The ancient Eule is this. 
 
 The many, who live foolish, do forget 
 
 Or never knew, how mortal wrongs pass by : 
 
 But they who know, and who remember, let 
 Transient quarrels die. 
 
 Whoso abides, looking for pleasures, vain, 
 Gluttonous, proud, in idle luxuries, 
 
 Mara will him o'erthrow, as wind and rain 
 Level short-rooted trees. 
 
104 CHAPTER I. OF THE DHAMMAPADA. 
 
 Whoso abides, disowning joys, controlled, 
 Temperate, faithful, firm, shunning all ill, 
 
 Mara shall no more shake that man strong-souled 
 Than the wind doth a hill. 
 
 Whoso Kdshya bears — the yellow dress — 
 
 Being anishkashya* not sin-free 
 Nor heeding Truth and Law — in wrongfulness 
 
 That holy robe wears he. 
 
 But whoso, living nishkashya aright, 
 
 Clean from offence, doth still in virtue dwell 
 
 Observing temperance and truth — that wight 
 Weareth Kashya well. 
 
 Whoso imagines truth in the untrue 
 
 And in the true finds untruth — he expires 
 
 Never attaining Knowledge — life's to rue 
 He follows vain desires. 
 
 * There is a play here on the words Kashya, the yellow robe of the 
 Buddhists, and Kashya, "impurity." 
 
CHAPTER I. OF THE DHAMMAPADA. 105 
 
 Whoso discerns in truth the true, and sees 
 The false in falseness with unblinded eye, 
 
 He doth attain to knowledge. Life with these 
 Aims well before they die. 
 
 As rain breaks through an ill-thatched roof, so break 
 Passions through minds which holy thoughts despise : 
 
 As rain runs from a well-laid roof — so shake 
 Their passions off, the wise. 
 
 The Evil-doer mourneth this life long 
 
 And mourneth in the life to come. In both 
 
 He grieveth. When he seeth fruit of wrong 
 To see he will be loath. 
 
 The righteous man in this world hath his boot, 
 And in the world to come. From both he takes 
 
 Pleasaunce. When he doth see his works bear fruit 
 The good sight gladness makes. 
 
106 CHAPTER I. OF THE DHAMMAPADA. 
 
 Glad is he living, glad in dying, glad 
 
 Having once died : glad alway, glad to know 
 
 What good deeds he had done, glad that he had 
 More good where he did go. 
 
 The lawless man, who Law not following, 
 Leaf after leaf recites, and line by line ; 
 
 ~No Buddhist is he, but a hireling 
 Who counts another's kine. 
 
 The law-obeying, loving one who learns 
 Only one verse of Dharma, but hath ceased 
 
 From envy, hatred, malice, ill concerns, 
 He is the Buddhist Priest ! 
 
THE CHIPMUNK. 
 
 Strolling in the city garden 
 
 Where the gardens touched the woodlands 
 
 (Always with new eyes beholding 
 
 Men and beasts and birds and flowers 
 
 In your land, so fair and friendly, 
 
 In America so wondrous) ; 
 
 Suddenly I spy, careering, 
 
 Tail in air, alert, observant, 
 
 Glittering with black-beady eyeballs 
 
 On the rail-edge, like rope-dancer, 
 
 Some small beast not known in England. 
 
 " What is that ? " I said, inquiring, 
 
 " Can it be Longfellow's squirrel, 
 
 Hiawatha's Adjidaumo ? " 
 
 107 
 
108 THE CHIPMUNK. 
 
 " Say ! and don't you really know him ? ' 
 Laughingly replied my comrade, 
 Tan-faced, prairie boy of ten ; 
 " That's the Chipmunk, and we kill him 
 For his smooth, grey, stripey skin." 
 
 " Ah I" I said, " don't kill the Chipmunk, 
 If his little coat has stripes ' 
 Brother he must be, or cousin 
 To a chipmunk that I know 
 Dwelling in the Indian Jungle. 
 No one kills the small Geloori 
 Over there in far-off India, 
 Ever since they heard the story 
 How its coat came to be striped." 
 
 " Why, do tell ! " cried my companion ; 
 And I told the Hindoo story 
 All to save chipmunks and squirrels. 
 
THE CHIPMUNK. 109 
 
 Once, among the palm-groves wandering, 
 Shiva, Lord and God of all things, 
 By the sea-shore saw a squirrel 
 Grey, with bushy tail and bright eyes, 
 Dipping constantly in ocean — 
 Dipping twenty times a minute, 
 Dipping deeply in the salt waves 
 Bushy tail, and then besprinkling 
 On the shore the gathered water. 
 
 Quoth the God, " What art thou doing, 
 Little grey, insensate Squirrel ! 
 Dipping in the mighty ocean 
 Tail so insignificant ? " 
 
 And the Squirrel meekly answered : 
 " Oh, Creator of all living, 
 Glorious Shiva ! I am trying 
 To bale dry the Indian Sea ; 
 For there came a furious tempest 
 
no THE CHIPMUNK. 
 
 Which laid low this lofty palm-tree 
 Whore T built my happy nest; 
 And the palm has fallun Hoawn.nl, 
 And the iiohI, lies in the watoi', 
 And my wife and pretty ohihlron 
 In the noHt will limit away ; 
 Thorol'oro, all the night and day hero 
 Do I dip my tail and Mhako it, 
 Hoping if 1 labour Htoutly, 
 At the last to bale Lliu noa dry, 
 So that I may Have my darlings 
 Even though I H]>oil my tail." 
 
 ilravely spake the Lord of Heaven : 
 " Truly 'tis a good example, 
 Little, grey, absurd Gcloori I 
 Whkih you sot to families. 
 If all husbands were as faithful, 
 And all fathom proved as fond, 
 Happier would he thowt [ I'uHhion, 
 
THE CHIPMUNK. 
 
 Sweet would pass the lives I give ! " 
 Then He stooped, and, with His great hand- 
 Hand that makes the men and spirits — 
 Hand that holds the stars and planets 
 As we grasp a bunch of grapes — 
 SMva stroked the toiling squirrel ; 
 
 And there came, from nose to tail-end, 
 Four green stripes upon the grey ; 
 Marks by the Supreme Hand planted 
 As a sign of love forever. 
 Then He lifted high that hand, 
 Waved it to the rolling waters, 
 Waved it to the roaring Main, 
 Which ran back with all its surges 
 Like white dogs that know their master, 
 Leaving bare the rocks and seaweed, 
 Leaving high and dry the palm-tree. 
 
 And the little squirrel hastened — 
 Cocking high his tail again, 
 
THE CHIPMUNK. 
 
 Reached his woven house of grass-blades- 
 Found his wife, and found his children 
 Dry and well, and chirping welcomes. 
 So he brought them safe to dry land, 
 But the wonder was to see 
 All their little smooth backs " stripey " 
 With the sign of Shiva's fingers ! 
 
 That is why, in distant India, 
 Good men never kill the chipmunks ; 
 And, I think, his cousins here, 
 Though no God has ever stroked them, 
 Would be grateful if you left them 
 Playing 'mid the scarlet maples 
 Of your Pennsylvanian woods, 
 
A ROSE OF THE "GARDEN OF 
 FRAGRANCE." 
 
 (Prom the Persian of Sadi's " Boston.") 
 
 Of hearts disconsolate see to the state : 
 
 To bear a breaking heart may prove thy fate. 
 
 Help to be happy those thine aid can bless, 
 Mindful of thine own day of helplessness. 
 
 If thou at others' doors need'st not to pine 
 In thanks to Allah drive no man from thine. 
 
 Over the orphan's path protection spread ! 
 Pluck out his heart-grief, lift his drooping head. 
 
 When with his neck bent low thou spiest one, 
 Kiss not the lifted face of thine own son ! 
 
114 A ROSE OF THE GARDEN. 
 
 Take heed these go not weeping. Allah's throne 
 Shakes to the sigh the orphan breathes alone. 
 
 With kindness wipe the tear-drop from his eye, 
 Cleanse him from dust of his calamity ! 
 
 There was a merchant, who, upon his way — 
 Meeting one fatherless and lamed — did stay 
 
 To draw the thorn which pricked his foot ; and passed : 
 And 'twas forgot : and the man died at last : 
 
 But in a dream the Prince of Khojand spies 
 That man again, walking in Paradise ; 
 
 Walking and talking in the Blessed Land, 
 And what he said the Prince could understand : 
 
 Por he said this : plucking the heavenly posies, 
 " Ajab ! that one thorn made me many Eoses ! "

A PICTURE. 
 
 (Prom the German of the Queen of Roumania.) 
 
 Sits upon the splintered summit 
 Swathed in tempest, by a black gulf, 
 Wondrous beautiful, a Woman — 
 Large and strong her body's lines are 
 As she leans upon the rock 
 At the crag's edge lightly swaying : 
 One knee rests across the other 
 Balanced, and, with fingers clenched, 
 In her hand she grasps a serpent, 
 Careless how the monstrous creature 
 Twines and coils, and shoots its fork forth 
 Helpless that white grip to loosen, 
 Helpless to escape her fingers. 
 Bed her hair is ; like to flame-tongues 
 
 116 
 
A PICTURE. 117 
 
 Stream amid the storm its tresses, 
 Float into the clouds and capture 
 The chain-lightning as it falls, 
 Drawing through its skeins those flashes 
 Which glide harmless down her body, 
 But, beneath her, split a pine-tree 
 From its topmost bough to foot. 
 And the eyes of that wild woman, 
 In the light which flickers purple 
 Eound and round the summit, glitter 
 Green beneath great brows of black. 
 
DURCH DEN WALD. 
 (From the German of the Queen of Roumania.) 
 
 Thboucui the forest there fluttered a song 
 
 Upborne upon airy gay wings : 
 As the breeze lisps the beech-boughs among 
 
 So softly it lit on my strings : 
 And my harp told the Eiver again : 
 And the trees and the birds caught the strain : 
 
 And the flow'rs set up soft whisperings. 
 
 Through the forest came loitering Love : 
 There was budding and blooming at this : 
 
 The birds woke, with welcome, the grove 
 And the rocks and the springs felt the bliss ; 
 
 It seemed 'twould be sunshine forever 
 
 As the sun shed red gold on the Eiver 
 
 And the waves and the bank-buds did kiss.

THE TOPSAIL OF THE VICTORY. 
 
 ("On the vail is suspended the foretopsail of Lord Nelson's 
 flagship Victory." Vide " Catalogue of Naval Exhibition, Chelsea, 
 1891.") 
 
 Oh, Wings of Victory ! 
 Proud battle-plumage, torn with shot and ball, 
 Draped in wide tattered glory on this wall ! 
 
 Come hither ! Come and see ! 
 
 Lord Nelson's canvas here ! 
 The topsail of his Flagship, when he sailed 
 To win Trafalgar for us, — and prevailed 
 
 'Mid thunder, flame, and fear. 
 
 The cloths she sheeted home 
 Shining and white that day ! hallyard and clew, 
 Cringle and tack and bolt-rope — clean and new — 
 
 Close to the foe to come : 
 
THE TOPSAIL OF THE VICTORY. 121 
 
 Now faded, ragged, frayed : 
 As yellow as King George's guineas ! Eent 
 From bunt to ear-ring : yet magnificent ! 
 
 Yet in royal state arrayed ! 
 
 For, dear and dauntless ship, 
 Built of the British Oak, and manned with hearts 
 Staunch as the heart of oak! What pulse but 
 starts ? 
 
 What pride leaps to the lip 
 
 Thinking how each clout heard 
 The boatswain pipe : " Hoist the foretopsail, Lads ! 
 Haul home ! Haul home ! " And then it soars and 
 spreads 
 
 Like pinion of sea-bird : 
 
 Amongst the clouds a cloud : 
 And then it sees from foretop — while it holds 
 The Spanish breeze, and mightily unfolds — 
 
 Down on the decks that crowd 
 
THE TOPSAIL OF THE VICTORY. 
 
 Of Nelson's lions stand, 
 Stripped to the wajst at stations : every man 
 Alight with the great signal-words which ran 
 
 Joyous, and good, and grand — 
 
 " England expects 
 That every man this day " — " Ay ! ay ! we hear ! 
 Our duty we shall do : have ye no fear." 
 
 The very cannons' necks 
 
 Lean hungry o'er the swell, 
 Craving for battle-food : and, leading all 
 Nelson's Three-decker goes, majestical ! 
 
 Beautiful ! terrible ! 
 
 Oh, Wings of Victory ! 
 Flew ye indeed that forenoon, white and great, 
 Wafting our hero to his glorious fate 
 
 Over the dancing sea ? 
 
 Marked ye, indeed, 
 The haughty foemen's challenge-flags unfold 
 
THE TOPSAIL OP THE VICTORY. 123 
 
 From ship to ship, along the rippled gold ? 
 And, ever true at need 
 
 Oollingwood close ? And Lake ? 
 And Nelson, from his knees, come brave and gay 
 To give his bright blood for us ? and the array 
 
 Of liners, in his wake ? 
 
 Gods ! How we see 
 Bullets and round-shot rend thy bellying white ! 
 And scarlet smoke-wreaths from the rattling fight 
 
 Enwrap thee, weather and lee ! 
 
 And how, below, 
 'Mid blast of such red thunders, rife with death, 
 Such terror as no tempest witnesseth, 
 
 Our British Jacks, aglow, 
 
 Fight on for Britain's Crown 
 As if each man were not King's man, but King ! 
 And what cheers split the sky, when fluttering, 
 
 Flag after flag comes down ! 
 
124 THE TOPSAIL OF THE VICTORY. 
 
 And then — there ! there ! 
 While thy scorched folds flap triumph — that 'curst ball ! 
 The mortal wound ! our matchless Champion's fall ! 
 
 Loss that made all gain dear. 
 
 Foretopsail old ! 
 Under your foot he fell — splendid in death : 
 Under your shade breathed forth his patriot breath ! 
 
 Ah ! wove with valour's gold. 
 
 Heroic Rags ! 
 Flaunt to the world, as once to France and Spain, 
 Token of England's might upon the main, 
 
 Better than blazoned flags. 
 
 Flaunt ! — for ye may — 
 Tatters which make it boast enough to be 
 Of Nelson's blood ! Torn Wings of Victory 
 
 From dread Trafalgar's day ! 
 
THE FRIGATE ENDYMION. 
 
 ("Towards the close of the- war with France, Captain the 
 Hon. Sir Charles Paget, while cruising in the Endymion frigate 
 on the coast of Spain, descried a French ship of the line in 
 imminent danger, embayed among rocks on a lee shore : bowsprit 
 and foremast gone, and riding by a stream cable, her only remain- 
 ing one. 
 
 "Though it was blowing a gale, Sir Charles bore down to the 
 assistance of his enemy, dropped his sheet-anchor on the French- 
 man's bow, buoyed the cable, and veered it across his hawser. This 
 the disabled ship succeeded in getting in, and thus seven hundred 
 lives were saved from destruction: 
 
 "After performing this chivalrous action the Endymion, being 
 herself in great peril, hauled to the wind, let go her bower-anchor, 
 club-hauled, and stood off shore on the other tack." Vide "Catalogue 
 Royal Naval Exhibition, 1891.") 
 
 The English roses on her face 
 
 Blossomed a brighter pink, for pride, 
 
 As, through the glories of the place 
 
 Wistful, we wandered, side by side. 
 125 
 
126 THE FRIGATE EN DY MI ON. 
 
 We saw our bygone worthies stand, 
 Done to the life, in steel and gold, 
 
 Howard and Drake — a stately band — 
 Sir Walter, Anson, Hawkins bold : 
 
 By all the martial blazonry 
 
 Of Blake's great battles, and the roar 
 
 Of Jervis, thundering through the sea : 
 With Eodney, Hood, and fifty more : 
 
 To him, the bravest, gentlest, best, 
 Duty's dear Hero, Britain's star — 
 
 The chieftain of the dauntless breast, 
 Nelson, our Thunderbolt of War ! 
 
 We saw him gathering sword by sword 
 On conquered decks from Don and Dane, 
 
 We saw him Victory's laurelled Lord 
 Rend the French battle-line a-twain : 
 
THE FRIGATE ENDYMION. 127 
 
 We saw the coat, the vest he wore 
 
 In thick of dread Trafalgar's day : 
 The blood-stains, and the ball which tore 
 
 Shoulder-gold, lace, and life away. 
 
 In countless grand War-pieces there 
 
 The green seas foamed with gallant blood : 
 
 The. skies blazed high with flame and fear, 
 The tall masts toppled to the flood. 
 
 But ever, 'mid red rage and glow 
 
 Of each tremendous Ocean fight, 
 Safe, by the strength of those below 
 
 The flag of England floated bright ! 
 
 " Ah, dear, brave souls ! " she said, " 'tis good 
 
 To be a British girl and claim 
 Some drops, too, of such splendid blood, 
 
 Some distant share of deathless fame ! " 
 
128 THE FRIGATE ENDYMION. 
 
 " Yet, still I think of what tears rained 
 From tender French and Spanish eyes 
 
 For all those glorious days we gained 
 Oh ! the hard price of victories ! " 
 
 " Come then ! " I said : " witness one fight 
 With triumph crowned, which cost no tear : 
 
 Waged gallant 'gainst the tempest's might." 
 Then turned we to a canvas near. 
 
 " Look ! the King's frigate : and her foe : 
 The coast is Spain ! Cruising to spy 
 
 An enemy, she finds him so, 
 
 Caught in a death-trap, piteously ! " 
 
 " A great Three-decker ! Close a-lee 
 Wild breakers on the black rocks foam 
 
 Will drown the ship's whole company 
 
 When that one Anchor's fluke comes home. 
 
THE FRIGATE ENDYMION. 129 
 
 " Her foremast gone, she cannot set 
 
 Head-sails to cast her off the land : 
 Those poor souls have to draw breath, yet 
 
 As long as while a warp will stand. 
 
 " 'Tis war-time — time of mutual hate — 
 Only to keep off, therefore, — tack, 
 
 Mark from afar ' Jean Crapaud's ' fate, 
 And lightly to ' my Lords ' bear back 
 
 " Good news of the great Liner, done 
 To splinters, and some thirty score 
 
 Of ' Mounseers ' perished ! Not a gun 
 To fire ! Just stand by — no more ! 
 
 " Also, that Captain who should go — 
 Eyes open — where this Gaul is driven, 
 
 Would steer straight into Hell's mid woe 
 Out of the easy peace of Heaven. 
 
130 THE FRIGATE ENDYMION. 
 
 " Well ! let them strike and drown ! Not he I 
 
 Not lion-hearted Paget ! No ! 
 The war's forgot ! He'll make us see 
 
 Seamanship at its topmost. Blow 
 
 " Boatswain ! your pipe ! Endymions, hear ! 
 
 Forward and aft, all hands on deck ! 
 Let my sails draw, range hawsers clear ! 
 
 Paget from Pate his foe will pluck ! " 
 
 " So bears she down : the fair white flag 
 Hoisted — full friendly — at the main ! 
 
 Her guns run in : twice to a rag 
 The stormsail torn : but set again. 
 
 " And when she rounds to wind, they swarm 
 Into their rigging, and they dip 
 
 The tricolor, with hearts made warm 
 By hope and love. Look now ! his ship 
 
THE FRIGATE ENDYMION. 131 
 
 " Inside the doomed one ! and you note 
 How, between life and death, he keeps 
 
 His Frigate like a pleasure-boat 
 
 Clean full and by : and, while he sweeps 
 
 " Athwart the Frenchman's hawse, lets go 
 
 His big sheet-anchor : buoys it, cast 
 Clear o'er the rail. They know, they know ! 
 
 Here's help ! here's hope ! here's chance at last ! 
 
 " For hauling (you shall understand) 
 
 The English hawser o'er her side, 
 All fear is fled of yon black strand : 
 
 Safely the huge Three-decker rides. 
 
 " Safe shall she come to Brest again, 
 
 With Jean and Jacques, and Paul and Pierre ; 
 
 And float to fight King George's men 
 Thanks to the goodly British gear. 
 
132 THE FRIGATE. ENDYMION. 
 
 " But woe to bold Endyniion, 
 
 Never was darker plight for craft ; 
 
 Laid-to — all save one anchor gone, 
 And those black fateful rocks abaft ! 
 
 " Fresh-plucked from death the Frenchmen watched 
 
 A sailor's highest lesson shown ; 
 They view by skill that Frigate snatched 
 
 From peril direr than their own. 
 
 " To beat to windward she must fly 
 
 Eound to the starboard tack : but drives 
 
 Full on the rocks in staying : try 
 To wear her, the same fate arrives. 
 
 " One desperate shift remains ! She brings 
 
 Her cable to the bitts : makes fast ; 
 Drops anchor : by the starboard swings : 
 
 And, when a-lee her stern is cast, 
 
THE FRIGATE ENDYMION. 133 
 
 " Hauls on the slack, and cuts adrift : 
 Sheets home her foresail : fills, and swerves 
 
 A ship's length forth. Subtle and swift 
 Her aim the tempest's wrath now serves. 
 
 " In view of those safe, rescued men, 
 
 Foot by foot steals she space to live : 
 Self-stripped of hope, except she win 
 
 The offing. None can succour give ! 
 
 " A ship's length more ! One ship's length more ! 
 
 And then ' helm down ! ' Then, something free 
 Comes the fierce blast ! That leeward shore 
 
 Slides slow astern ! That raging sea 
 
 ' Widens ' If once yon whitened reef 
 
 She weathers ! 'tis a saviour saved ! — 
 Seamanship conquers ! Past belief 
 
 She rounds ! The peril hath been braved ! 
 
134 THE FRIGATE ENDYMION. 
 
 " Then, louder than the storm- wind's yell, 
 Kings in her wake the Frenchmen's cheer, 
 
 Bidding the good ship glad farewell 
 
 "While our staunch Frigate draws out clear. 
 
 " Never was nobler salvage made ! 
 Never a smarter sea-deed done ! " 
 
 " Best of all fights I love," she said : 
 "This fight of the Endymion." 
 
L'ENVOI. 
 (From the German of the Queen of Roumania.) 
 
 And that which here I have been singing 
 
 It was all yours — not mine ! 
 From your joy all its gladness bringing : 
 Its sad chords from your sorrows ringing : 
 
 I did but you divine ! 
 
 Yours were the thoughts forever ranging ! 
 
 You made the folk- tales true ! 
 
 In this Earth-show of chance and changing, 
 
 Of life uniting, death estranging, 
 
 Look, Soul ! these things were you ! 
 135 
 
136 V EN VOL 
 
 Perchance when Death shall give me leisure, 
 
 And these tired lips lie dumb, 
 Then you my words will better measure, 
 And in my love take larger pleasure, 
 Its meaning being come !
