THE TENTH MUSE 
 
THE TENTH MUSE 
 
 COMPOSED FOR A PRESS ANNIVERSARY 
 
 In stately classic time 
 
 Who built the lofty rhyme — 
 
 While yet his hand wandered along the lyre. 
 While the loud prelude lingered, 
 And each quick string he fingered, 
 
 Not finding fitting outburst of his fire — 
 Then would he raise 
 First notes of prayer and praise 
 
 To those great daughters of Mnemosyne — 
 The high immortal Nine — 
 And, swift ! the whispered line 
 
 Leapt to his lip,-— commanding, sounding, free. 
 
 3 
 
THE TENTH MUSE 
 
 II. 
 
 Yet I, to-day, 
 
 Neither to praise nor pray. 
 Sweet Muses! with your sacred names begin 
 
 This, my unusual song ; • 
 
 But if ye still live, strong, 
 Somewhere on heights which poet's verse can reach ; 
 
 If still with mortal eyes ye may be seen 
 
 By some new Hippocrene — 
 Some later, nearer Aganippe's fountain — 
 
 Then listen, and with sister-arms en-ring 
 
 Her whom we bring 
 Up the steep slope of your celestial mountain. 
 
 III. 
 
 Clio ! whose tablets keep — 
 That Gods may laugh and weep — 
 Full record of men's wars and loves below : 
 
 4 
 
THE TENTH MUSE 
 
 Euterpe ! with the pipe 
 
 Set to that rosebud ripe 
 Of thy Greek mouth, some lovely strain to blow ; 
 
 Thalia ! laughing as the stroller's task 
 
 Fits on the comic mask ; 
 And sad Melpomene, with tragic eyes, 
 
 And drawn glaive's glittering blade ; 
 
 Thou, too, Heav'n's pensive maid, 
 Star-crowned Urania ! rapt in mysteries ! 
 
 IV. 
 
 And thou, soft Erato ! 
 
 From throat of snow 
 Murmuring a love-verse to the chorded shell ; 
 
 And grave Calliope, 
 
 Of epic scrolls to be 
 Deep-meditating how the strain shall swell ; 
 
 Polymnia ! cheek on hand 
 
 Pillowed, while slow and grand 
 
 5 
 
THE TENTH MUSE 
 
 The storming organs thunder chant and hymn ; 
 
 Terpsichore ! whose feet 
 
 Shine whiter while they beat 
 The white wind-flowers by Helicon's green rim. 
 
 V. 
 
 With bended brow and knee 
 
 Here bring we, fair to see, 
 And grown to Grecian stateliness and grace, 
 
 Her whom we serve alway 
 
 By night, by day, 
 In diverse tongues and many a peopled place : 
 
 Not grudging among men 
 
 From toil of brain and pen, 
 The largest she shall ask us, nor the least, 
 
 So praise come to her name, 
 
 And power, and fame, 
 And North and South may hail her — West and 
 
 East. 
 
THE TENTH MUSE 
 
 VI. 
 
 High Muses ! be not slow 
 
 Her rights to know 
 Who comes to sit on the Pierian Hill, 
 
 Turning your Nine to Ten ; 
 
 For — born, albeit, of men — 
 She, by her high emprise, is Goddess still. 
 
 The Tenth Muse treads to-day 
 
 This lofty way, 
 Not less than ye of Heav'n — divine no less ; 
 
 Room ! ye who proudly dwell 
 
 Here on the asphodel ! 
 Your youngest sister greet, the modern PRESS. 
 
 VII. 
 
 Nay ! start not, Erato ! 
 Sweet music doth not flow 
 
 Freer for thee than her, when she bids sing ; 
 
 7 
 
THE TENTH MUSE 
 
 And, Clio ! look ! she lacks 
 
 Neither thy stele, nor wax, 
 To write the tale of all things happening ; 
 
 Euterpe ! piping soft — 
 
 Thy chosen poets oft 
 Pour their melodious souls upon her page ; 
 
 And, light Thalia ! thou 
 
 Dimpling such mouth and brow, 
 Laugh'st side by side with her, on every stage. 
 
 VIII. 
 
 Melpomene ! to thine 
 
 Her thoughts incline 
 Where, o'er the boards, the tragic players pass 
 
 When, in the mimic scene, 
 
 Warrior, and knight, and queen, 
 And woes, and wars, and fates their image glass ; 
 
 Like thee, by night — by noon — 
 
 Of stars, and sun, and moon. 
 
THE TENTH MUSE 
 
 The changeful inarch, Urania ! she doth mark ; 
 
 With watchful gaze like thine 
 
 Muse most divine ! 
 Our Lady's eyes shine brightest in the dark. 
 
 IX. 
 
 Calliope ! regard ! 
 
 Epic and lyric bard 
 Take from her equal hand their laurel-crowns : 
 
 Those she delights to praise 
 
 Wear haughtily the bays, 
 Go famous in a thousand towers and towns. 
 
 Nor scorns our Mistress sweet 
 
 The tripping feet 
 Of such as worship glad Terpsichore ; 
 
 The choral song and dance, 
 
 And woven steps that glance, 
 
 And swimming limbs, her own gay business be. 
 
 9 
 
THE TENTH MUSE 
 
 X. 
 
 Then — debonair, demure, 
 
 In Vestal sindon pure — 
 With thine, Polymnia ! all her mind grows Jove's ; 
 
 In temples, still and dim, 
 
 She shares the mystic hymn ; 
 And puts by wars and crimes and shows and loves. 
 
 Oh, make good place 
 
 For our proud Lady's face 
 In the undying circle of your beauty ; 
 
 For see, ye stately Nine ! 
 
 No art, nor charge divine, 
 No gift, nor grace there is, but falls into her duty. 
 
 XI. 
 
 Aye, Muses ! more than this ! 
 
 She whom your lips must kiss, 
 
 Your new-crowned Sister of this later day, 
 
 10 
 
THE TENTH MUSE 
 
 She you shall take — 
 
 For all the people's sake — 
 Into your high-born company ; and say 
 
 "Ephemera! be free 
 
 Of heavenly airs, as we ! ; ' 
 This sleepless Lady whom her true scribes love — 
 
 A greater purpose holds, 
 
 A larger deed unfolds, 
 A mightier mandate bears from will of Jove. 
 
 XII. 
 
 So, if there do remain 
 
 Some little sable stain 
 On this white faithful hand, these fingers slender, 
 
 As beautiful as wine 
 
 Crims'nirig a wrist divine, 
 Rosier than rose-leaf on the snow, more tender 
 
 Than tears on silken lid 
 
 Those ink-marks deem ! Nay, bid 
 ii 
 
THE TENTH MUSE 
 
 Our pale Queen welcome ! think her worthy glory 
 
 Who — watchful, night by night — 
 
 For human help and light 
 Sits by her whirling wheels, spinning the wide world's 
 story. 
 
 XIII. 
 
 The wide world's friend is she 
 
 With tireless eyes which see 
 Whatever anywhere befalls ; with ears 
 
 Opened, by night, by day, 
 
 To what men do or say, 
 All the far echoes of all months and years. 
 
 And what she learns alone 
 
 Swiftly she maketh known 
 With voice majestic, world-extending, high ; 
 
 So that the rolling sea 
 
 Hath not a tongue more free, 
 
 Nor more all-covering is the arching sky. 
 
 12 
 
THE TENTH MUSE 
 
 XIV. 
 
 Also her heart is set 
 
 On hopes, undreamed of yet 
 By those who worshipped once, old bards and sages ;- 
 
 The onward march of Man 
 
 From what began 
 His uprise, to the goal of all the Ages. 
 
 The peoples of the plain 
 
 Your Gods did once disdain 
 From ledge of haught Olympus, 'mid their clouds. 
 
 For them our Mistress hath 
 
 Large pity ; and hot wrath 
 'Gainst such as scorn and slight her patient crowds. 
 
 XV. 
 
 To minister to these 
 
 'Neath all the roaring seas, 
 
 Her messengers, tamed lightnings, come and go ; 
 
 13 
 
THE TENTH MUSE 
 
 O'er all the busy lands 
 
 Her duteous eyes and hands 
 Gather up knowledge, that the people know. 
 
 From them she hath her power, 
 
 And hour by hour 
 To them she payeth back her debt of greatness. 
 
 Accomplishing full score 
 
 With blessings more and more, 
 And service wrought in silence and sedateness. 
 
 XVI. 
 
 And if, indeed, her hand 
 
 Wieldeth no fiery brand 
 To strike oppression down, stay the wrong-doer, 
 
 Chastise the wicked law, 
 
 And guilty plunder draw 
 From wealthy robbers, and be swift pursuer 
 
 Of crime and guile ; alway, 
 
 To seize, and smite, and slay, 
 14 
 
THE TENTH MUSE 
 
 Muses ! this plumed quill which she doth bear 
 
 Is keener in the strife, 
 
 Strikes closer to the life. 
 Than sword of Themis, or Athene's spear. 
 
 XVII. 
 
 Of this the subtle point 
 
 Pierceth each armour-joint 
 In rich rogues' pride, and evil men's contriving ; 
 
 There stands no shame so strong 
 
 It shall, for long, 
 Make head against our Lady's ceaseless striving ; 
 
 For, clad in living light, 
 
 'Gainst Darkness does she fight ; 
 And girt with Knowledge, Ignorance she chases ; 
 
 High Muses ! welcome her — 
 
 Our World's Interpreter — 
 
 Glad and caressing to your heavenly Places. 
 
 i5 
 
THE TEXTH MUSE 
 
 XVIII. 
 
 So, in the sacred ranks, 
 
 For all men's love and thanks, 
 Ephemera, Tenth Muse, sits safe to-day, 
 
 Our Lady of the Lamp, 
 
 Whom we, of many a camp, 
 Serve daily — for her work's sake — and obey ; 
 
 Not holding any grace or any gift 
 
 Too precious to uplift 
 In homage to her ; deeming all her right ; 
 
 Nor ever once ashamed 
 
 So we be named 
 Press-men ; Slaves of the Lamp ; Servants of Light.

THE PASSING OF MUHAMMAD 
 
THE PASSING OF MUHAMMAD 
 
 PROPHET OF ARABIA 
 
 B dramatic Sketch. 
 
 The scene is in the house of Ayesha, Muhammad's 
 favourite wife, at Medina ; the date being the month 
 of June, A.D. 632. Muhammad is lying on his bed, 
 sick unto death; his wives, with some other Arab 
 women, attc?iding him. 
 
 Ayesha. 
 
 By God ! we never looked that he should lie 
 
 This way, like others ; weak, and lean, and cold ; 
 
 Moaning in mortal pain, whom we did know 
 
 The Prophet of the Lord. 
 
 Maimuna ! drive 
 
 The green fly from his brow ! Dost thou recall, 
 
 Thou, Salma's sister ! what a brow it was, 
 19 
 
THE PASSING OF MUHAMMAD 
 
 How lordly, with its blue vein swollen big 
 
 When he was wroth, or unbelievers irked ? 
 
 What eyes these sealed eyes were, so keen and stern, 
 
 That day, the eighth of Dzul Hijj, when we went 
 
 The pilgrimage to Mecca, we his wives, 
 
 And five score cattle for the sacrifice, 
 
 He in the front of all, by Bital led, 
 
 Riding Al Kaswa (that good beast which found 
 
 The desert-well, and knelt at Kaaba, 
 
 Dropped in the season when he wedded thee ?) 
 
 Was it not like to locust-swarms ? — the folk 
 
 Hung round Mohassir, and on Arafat, 
 
 Glad eager masses, while he stood aloft — 
 
 As 'twere the Angel of the Seal, methought — 
 
 In Mina, saying aloud : "I have fulfilled 
 
 The Message ! I have left amidst ye here 
 
 A plain command, the Book of Allah ! This 
 
 If ye hold fast, shall guide aright your feet." 
 
 And, lifting up his gaze, he spake aloud : 
 
 " See, Lord ! I have delivered all Thy will ; 
 
 20 
 
THE PASSING OF MUHAMMAD 
 
 Witness it for me ! " Then what thunder rolled 
 From forty thousand scores of tongues which cried : 
 " Aye ! Of a truth thou hast ! " Did we not deem 
 He clomb too near to heav'n in those great hours 
 Ever to fall like this to us and death ? 
 By Allah ! have ye thought it could be so ? 
 
 Maim una. 
 
 Nay, and how bright with life this wan cheek was 
 When he came back from Mecca, all his heart 
 Full of God's peace ; the seven due circuits done, 
 The Zemzem-water quaffed, and each thing set 
 In just ensample for the days to be 
 When all men wend to Mecca ! Ayesha ! 
 Thou wert on Arafat that dawn he spake 
 The sunrise prayer — and afterwards the verse 
 From his fifth Sura : " This day have I made 
 Truth finished for ye ; this day have fulfilled 
 My mercy toward ye ; this day do appoint 
 
 21 
 
THE PASSING OF MUHAMMAD 
 
 Islam your faith for ever." Oh. that night 
 
 I did not dare caress him when he passed 
 
 Into my tent ; I let the date-water 
 
 Spill from my leathern-bowl, afeard to speak, 
 
 He was so rapt. I chafed his feet, and 
 
 dropped 
 My eyes — ashamed of such far-seeing eyes. 
 
 Asma (sister to Maimuna). 
 
 For me, I held him most majestical, 
 
 Surest of years, that day when Zeid's son 
 
 Osama, took command for Syria. 
 
 How, like a conqueror, did our Lord unroll 
 
 The banner of black wool, and bind the sword 
 
 Which flashed at Beder, on Osama's thigh, 
 
 Saying : " Fight thou with this, under my flag, 
 
 In Allah's name for Allah's truth, and smite, " 
 
 And break the unbelievers ! " Then, indeed, 
 
 Who would have dreamed our Master nigh to death ? 
 
THE PASSING OF MUHAMMAD 
 
 Ayesha. 
 
 Yet he fell sick next night. Oh, had we marked, 
 There lacked not signs. Fatma ! bear'st thou in 
 
 mind 
 How Abu Bekr met him two moons back 
 In the Mosque-gate, and, noting that his beard 
 Grizzled amid its flowing raven — spake 
 Full sorrowfully, in a sudden grief : 
 " Thou — who than father or than mother art 
 More dear to all — alack ! I see grey hairs 
 Are hastening in upon thee ! " and his eyes 
 Brimmed with quick tear-drops. For, the Prophet 
 
 raised 
 
 With both thin hands his beard, gazing thereon, 
 
 And answered : " Yea ! 'tis travail of the Word 
 
 Hath wrought deep signs upon me : night and day 
 
 The saying of the ' Suras Terrible,' 
 
 'Hud,' and 'The Striking,' and 'The Inevitable.' 
 
 Have burned my strength to ashes.'* 
 
 23 
 
THE PASSING OF MUHAMMAD 
 
 Fatma. 
 
 Yes ! 'twas so ; 
 Yet sought we ever what might bring him rest ; 
 His uncle Abbas, seeing how the folk 
 Thronged round him in the Mosque, said, " If we build 
 A lofty seat for thee, they shall not throng." 
 But sweet reply our Lord gave : " Kinsman kind ! 
 I will not cease from moving in their midst, 
 Dragging my abbas through the press of them, 
 My feet stained with their dust, till Allah's call 
 Bring me my time of peace." 
 
 Ayesha. 
 
 Ah, Fatma ! moist 
 
 His lips with honey, for I think they move, 
 
 And, peradventure, 'twill be Allah's will 
 
 This weakness shall go by. Yet, latterly 
 
 Of times he did recite, as if 'twere due, 
 
 24 
 
THE PASSING OF MUHAMMAD 
 
 That Sura which doth say: "When God's help 
 
 comes 
 And victory, and thou shalt see all tribes 
 Entering by troops the gateways of the Faith, 
 Then celebrate the praises of thy Lord, 
 And seek His mercy Who is merciful." 
 
 Fatma. 
 
 Aunt ! When that same great Sura was writ down. 
 
 He called me ; spake to me with quiet eyes, 
 
 " My daughter ! it is opened I shall die." 
 
 At which hard word mine eyes broke into floods 
 
 Like rain on Yemen in the sowing time. 
 
 But he said softly : " Nay ! Khadija's child ! 
 
 Weep not ; be comforted ; since, verily 
 
 Thou shalt join first with me in Paradise." 
 
 Thereat no more I wept, but in my heart 
 
 Joy gleamed like sun-breaks when the showers are 
 
 done. 
 
 25 
 
THE PASSING OF MUHAMMAD 
 
 Maimuka. 
 
 Most happy Fatma ! if it were to me 
 
 He had spoke so, this sorrow would not lie 
 
 Crushing my heart, as when her too great load 
 
 Keeps crooked the camel's knee. I, too, recall 
 
 How — when it was my night, and naught he loved 
 
 Soothed him, not date-cakes, nor the rabab's string, 
 
 Nor perfumes of the myrrh and ambergris, 
 
 Nor kisses — and ye women know he liked 
 
 Women and scents and sweets — he rose from me, 
 
 Wrapped his striped izar-cloth about his head, 
 
 And, lifting up the inner curtain, paced 
 
 Into the jewelled stillness of the night. 
 
 With fearful steps I dared to follow him. 
 
 Ah, Sisters ! not to spy ! solicitous 
 
 Lest wandering beast or sinful robber hurt 
 
 The Prophet of the Lord. But he came straight, 
 
 Quick-striding, resolute, to where our dead 
 
 Sleep by the city-wall. There, 'mid the tombs, 
 
 26 
 
THE PASSING OF MUHAMMAD 
 
 Long leaned he on his cedar-staff, intent, 
 
 Deep meditating, silent. At the end 
 
 A jackal barked ; whereon, as if the cry 
 
 Housed him, I heard him, in right gentle tones. 
 
 Speak to the Dead : " Verily, ye and I 
 
 Have found fulfilment of what Allah pledged ; 
 
 Blessed are ye, and blessed is your lot 
 
 Beyond the lot of those left in this world ! 
 
 Sleep well, till God's great daybreak wakens you. 
 
 Lord ! show mercy to these slumberers, 
 
 And grant Thy grace to me ! " At that he turned 
 
 And hastened back with such assured strides 
 
 Scarce I had space to outrun him, and to quench 
 
 The kindled lamp, and cast my sandals by, 
 
 And seem to slumber, when he crept again 
 
 Chilled to my side, and whispered, " This good 
 
 night 
 
 Allah hath proffered me which thing I would — 
 
 Long life, or else to meet my Lord betimes ; 
 
 And I have chosen very soon to die." 
 
 27 
 
THE PASSING OF MUHAMMAD 
 
 Ayesha. 
 
 That was the week my brows ached ; and I moaned, 
 " Oh, head ! my head ! " not wotting he was nigh. 
 Then entered he, his own brows knit with pain 
 And lightly spake : " 'Tis I might cry ' my head ! ' 
 So bitter is this heat that scorcheth me ! 
 But thou, " Omm Raman's child ! were it not 
 
 sweet — 
 If Allah willed — thou didst die first ; so I 
 That loved thee best, might speak the prayers for 
 
 thee 
 
 And wrap thee in thy grave-cloth, Ayesha ! 
 
 And lay thee safe, till I came too, Gazelle ? " 
 
 " Now God forbid ! " quoth I, as who would turn 
 
 A heaviness to merriment, " thy wish, 
 
 I fear me, Prophet ! is to find some eyes 
 
 Brighter than Ayesha's, when I am gone, 
 
 Giving the love that hath been mine to her." 
 
 But wistfully he smiled, and silent went. 
 
 28 
 
THE PASSING OF MUHAMMAD 
 
 Maimuna. 
 
 Yea ! yea ! we know he loved you best. You came 
 
 New to him from the goat's milk, and child-games. 
 
 But I, and Haphsa, Zeinab, and the rest 
 
 Dwelled in the outer garden of his love. 
 
 It was his wish : we grudge thee not ; 'tis meet 
 
 He lie now in thy chamber, Ayesha ! 
 
 Since — save Khadidja — thou in all these years 
 
 Held his heart most. But, oh ! take heed to him, 
 
 He strives to speak ! 
 
 [Muhammad awakens. 
 
 Muhammad. 
 
 Ayesha ! Ayesha ! 
 Hath yet Osama marched ? 
 
 Ayesha. 
 
 My Lord ! sweet Lord ! 
 
 He stands without, waiting to speak farewell. 
 
 29 
 
THE PASSING OF MUHAMMAD 
 
 Muhammad. 
 
 Cover your faces then, and bid him come. 
 
 [Osama enters, and, kneeling by the couch, kisses 
 the sick man s face. 
 
 Osama. 
 Prophet ! how fierce a fever burneth thee ! 
 
 Muhammad. 
 
 I swear by Him in whose hand lies my life 
 
 There suffereth no Believer, but his woes 
 
 Cause sins to shed away, as the hot wind 
 
 Strips dead leaves off, that new green leaves may grow. 
 
 I, here consuming, cheat my fever's flame 
 
 Praising the Lord ; but thou, why tarriest thou ? 
 
 Smite me the Unbelievers ! Fall at dawn 
 
 Upon those dogs of Obna ! Let assault 
 
 Clamour first tidings of thee ! Send forth scouts, 
 
 30 
 
THE PASSING OF MUHAMMAD 
 
 And Allah give thee victory ! Guide my palm 
 That I may lay it on thy head, and leave 
 A blessing there. Go in God's peace ! 
 
 [Osama departs. 
 My girl ! 
 Where is that gold I gave into thy hands ? 
 Part it among the " people of the Bench," 
 HeavVs poor ones. 
 
 Ayesha. 
 
 Master ! 'tis the last we have ; 
 We owe for wood and sesamum. 
 
 Muhammad. 
 
 Give ! give ! 
 
 That were ill-done if I should meet my Lord 
 
 With dinars in my hand. Maimuna ! reach 
 
 My izar down. I hear the Muazzan 
 
 Calling to prayer ! Ya ! ya ! Ash 'had do an 
 
 La illah 'l-hd-la-ho. Ye faithful ! know 
 
 3i 
 
THE PASSING OF MUHAMMAD 
 
 There is no God save God : hya-ul-as-salaat ! 
 
 Wend unto prayer ! [A pause, while he tries to rise.'] 
 
 Nay, nay ! I have not force ! 
 I cannot stand ! this fever burns my brain ; 
 Lay me once more upon the camel-skin. 
 
 Ayesha. 
 
 Sweet Lord ! thou doest ill to vex thy strength. 
 Enough is wrought. Ah, rest ! Saith not the Book, 
 " We have forgiven to thee all thy sins, 
 The former and the latter." 
 
 Muhammad. 
 
 Ayesha ! 
 
 Except God's mercy cover me with grace, 
 
 I, that am called the Prophet of the Lord, 
 
 I shall not enter into Paradise. 
 
 Hath yet Osama marched ? It will not ease, 
 
 This fierce hot aching, till I hear his drums. 
 
 Ah ! set the door wide back ; I faint ! I faint ! 
 
 32 
 
THE PASSING OF MUHAMMAD 
 
 Malmuxa. 
 
 Make wet his holy lips with date-water, 
 Zeinab ! Fan quickly, Fatma ! See, he swoons ;

 Too ardently to lead the evening prayer.

 How fell that, Abu Bekr's daughter ?

 Weak— 
 
 Though not, as now, to edge of death — he lay. 
 
 And I, who oft before, in time of strait,

THE PASSING OF MUHAMMAD 
 
 Heard him ask Allah for deliverance, 
 
 Knelt heartsick by the bed, because he prayed. 
 
 Saying, " Soul ! my Soul ! why seekest thou 
 
 Another refuge save in God alone ? " 
 
 Twas then that first he no more craved to live. 
 
 Zeinab. 
 
 Inshallah ! 
 
 Ayesha. 
 
 But the morn broke, rose and gold, 
 
 And the cool air was like a spring to drink, 
 
 While, in the ways, the footfalls of the folk 
 
 Made clatter, and the pigeons on the roof 
 
 Cooed, and the well-ropes creaked, awakening 
 
 him. 
 
 So, stronger for his sleep, and — hearing then, 
 
 As now, the Muazzan — he would arise 
 
 And gird himself to go. My father served 
 
 Imam that day, and told us what befell.

 Zeinab. 
 
 Impart it, Sister ! 
 
 Ayesha. 
 
 All the Mosque was filled 
 
 To its corner Hag-stones ; and the first rakaat 
 
 Was finished ; and the people stood to make 
 
 The second form ; when our Lord entered in, 
 
 His arm about the neck of Abba's son. 
 
 Then, in the House of God, that weakness fled ; 
 
 Glad grew his face ; his wan lips warmed ; he said 
 
 Softly to Fadhl, "Allah granteth me 
 
 Cooling of eyes by this good breath of prayer." 
 
 And the folk parted on the right and left 
 
 To make way for him to the Mimbar-rail, 
 
 Where Abu Bekr would have yielded place, 
 
 But our Lord motioned " no," and on the mats 
 
 Sate, till my father ended morning-prayer. 
 
 Then he arose, and while the eyes of men 
 35 
 
THE PASSING OF MUHAMMAD 
 
 Fed on his looks, and eager Sogers caught 
 
 His robe's hem to fond lips — he cried aloud, 
 
 The fever crimson In his cheek, his mouth 
 
 Dry with the blast of Death, and this dear front 
 
 Shadowed with Azrael's over-hanging wing ; 
 
 Aye ! — Abu Bekr said — he gazed around 
 
 And spake : " Men of Medina, where I lived 
 
 Coming and going, testifying God, 
 
 I shall die soon. I pray ye answer me, 
 
 Is there among ye here one I have wronged ? 
 
 I have borne rule, judging in Allah's name, 
 
 That am a man, and sinful ; have I judged 
 
 Unrighteously or wrathfully, or pressed 
 
 Too hard in the amend ? Let who saith ' yea ' 
 
 Make his ' yea ' good before the people here 
 
 And I will bare my back that he may smite. 
 
 I have borne testimony for the truth, 
 
 Not sparing sinners : speak, if there be one 
 
 Wronged by my hid misdoing ; let him shame 
 
 His Prophet now, telling the ill I wrought 
 
 36 
 
THE PASSING OF MUHAMMAD 
 
 Before the Assembly. I have gathered dues. 
 Declare if I defrauded any here 
 Buying or selling." 
 
 And no answer came 
 Except the noise of sobs and weeping men, 
 Because our Lord spake thus. 
 
 But one arose, 
 A hamal. with his cord across his back 
 And porter's knot (Zeinab ! thou knowest him, 
 'Tis Hassan, from the last shop in the lane 
 Behind the Mosque), who cried : " Abdullah's son, 
 Three silver pieces owest thou to me 
 For wood I bore thee after Eamadhan." 
 And softly said our Lord, " Good friend ! much thanks 
 Because thou didst demand thy money now, 
 And not before the judgment-seat of God. 
 Ill is it if men thither carry debts." 
 Therewith he paid that debt, kissing the hand 
 Wherein the dirhams dropped ; and so came home 
 
 To lay his head upon my lap ; my lap. 
 
 37 
 
THE PASSING OF MUHAMMAD 
 
 But, Zeinab, look ! Maimuna, look ! our Lord 
 Stirreth anew ! What saith he ? let me come ! 
 Ayesha's ear shall know — 
 
 [Kneeling at the bedside. 
 
 Tis Ayesha 
 Hearkens, dear Master !

 Give me drink, my girl ! 
 Hath yet Osama marched ? Be those his drums ? 
 I die — at last I die ! breathe on my eyes 
 And chafe my hands. Well know I that I die. 
 Listen ! this for thine ear — for thee alone — 
 
 [Re whispers. 
 Three days agone Allah's high messenger 
 Came to me — Gabriel — and he asked of me, 
 " Servant of God ! how is it with thee here ? " 
 " Trouble is with me, and sore agony," 
 Keplied I. Then he spake, " A little while 
 
 Have patience ; " and departed. Once again 
 
 38 
 
THE PASSING OF MUHAMMAD 
 
 With selfsame speech he came, enquired ; and I 
 With the same words made answer. And again 
 Even now, whilst ye did watch, th' Archangel stood 
 Here, in thy room, — another shining one 
 Behind him, — and he said, " Servant of God ! 
 This is the Lord of Death, dread Azrael, 
 He hath not sought before from any man 
 Leave to come in, and never afterwards 
 Shall seek from any — but to-day he stands 
 Waiting thy pleasure ; suffer that he come." 
 Then spake I, " Enter, Allah's Messenger ! " 
 And Azrael said : " Muhammad, I am sent 
 To take thy soul, if so thou wilt ; or else, 
 If so thou wilt, to leave thee whole again. 
 I that command, am at command of thee." 
 Whereon a little pondering I was 'ware 
 Of Gabriel's whisper : " Verily, our Lord 
 Desireth thee." And thereupon I spake, 
 " Do thou the will of Allah, Azrael ! "

 No " moaning of the bar ! " * Sail forth, strong Ship ! 
 Into that gloom which has God's face for far light ; 
 Not dirge, but proud farewell, from each fond lip ; 
 And praise — abounding praise ; and fame's faint star-

 Lamping thy tuneful soul to that large noon 
 Where thou shalt quire with angels. Words of woe 
 Are for the unfulfilled — not thee, whose moon 
 Of genius sinks full-orbed, glorious, aglow.

 Two college-comrades walked with me. 
 
 We tramped by bridge, and birk, and cairn ; 
 
 Looked down Glen Muick and wild Glen Gairn 
 
 Passed Craigendarroch's hanging glade, 
 
 Nor at grey Abergeldie stayed ; 
 
 Till, on the right, — ere you espy

 There rose, 'mid rowan-trees and birch,

ORATHIE CHURCH 
 
 The plain front of a parish church, 
 
 So lowly, featureless, and mean, 
 
 That when one said, " Tis where the Queen

 •'That Crathie? on yon mountain side 
 
 Of Lochnagar, purple and blue, 
 
 A stately shrine should soar to view

 To a Highland maid 
 So he put question ; and she said : 
 " It's Crathie Kirk ! the door's nae steek'd, 
 Gang in, and when ye weel have keeked 
 For the Queen's pew — gin ye sail look,

 So those pass iu. But I — less bold, 
 
 Or more contemplative — withhold 
 
 My soiled shoes from that sacred floor,

 Waiting beside the open door. 
 
 Whereat the lassie, wondering, says : 
 
 " Wull you na' see where the Queen prays ? " 
 
 I called her near and took her hand, 
 
 And said : "How shall you understand, 
 
 My little maid, what makes me wait

 With domes which in the blue air rise 
 
 Like rounded clouds ; and rich device 
 
 Of plinth and frieze ; and minarets 
 
 Piercing the sky ; and diamond jets 
 
 Of fountains ; and a sweeping flight

 Written upon the marble clear, 
 In Persian letters, one might read

 I will say :- 
 
 'Twas there that Akbar came to pray ; 
 
 Akbar the Great, in Agra Kiug, 
 
 Lord of the East, all-conquering. 
 
 One day his stately head he bent 
 
 Within that marble mosque, intent 
 
 The names of Allah to intone, — 
 
 Ninety and nine — for each, one stone 
 
 Upon his turquoise rosary ; 
 
 And next, upon his face, to be 
 
 Suppliant of Heaven for grace and peace 
 
 On India, and his Realm's increase ; 
 
 With happy issue of that war 
 
 His Moslem Omrahs waged afar. 
 48

 Then, while the wise Prince prayed, there came 
 One of his captains, like a flame 
 Of gold and jewels, from the field 
 Bringing great news. The foe did yield ; 
 The mighty forts had fall'n ; the towns 
 Opened, with spoil of thrones and crowns ; 
 So, loud he cried : ' Show me the King ! 
 Since goodly tidings do I bring.' 
 And to the nail his Arab tied, 
 Taking the steps at one great stride. 
 
 " But the blind porter at the gate 
 
 Crossed his palm-staff, and murmured : ' Wait ! 
 
 Whate'er thy news ! Akbar is met 
 
 Inside with Allah ! weightier yet 
 
 Than any words of man can be, 
 
 Or noise of earthly victory, 
 
 Is what the King speaks in this place 
 
 For him and us, and what the grace 
 
 Of Heaven may answer. Take not thou

 Taint of thy worldly doings now

 "So that Lord 
 Unbuckled shield, and helm, and sword, 
 And sate, awaiting, meek. And there 
 Upon the marble — clear and fair 
 In silver script — they did inlay 
 ' IHTIRAM,' and that word doth say :— 
 1 Here halted, out of modesty, 
 The herald, e'en of victory.' " 
 
 Her blue eyes opened all their blue : 
 But still, I think, she partly knew 
 Why I, one of those English three, 
 The Church of Crathie did not see.

THE STORY OF THE SNAKE 
 
 BEING THE DOCTRINE OF KARMA 
 {Translated from the Sanskrit of the MahAbhArata) 
 
 The following translation from the Sanskrit of what has never 
 yet been placed before Western eyes, opens one of the 
 most curious and striking passages of the many which are 
 to be met with in that alternately wonderful and monstrous 
 " Mahabharata," the chief epic poem of India, out of the 
 heart whereof, like gold from a prodigious mountain, I 
 myself have many a time carried away poetic spoil. The 
 passage occurs in the beginning of the Anushasana Parva, 
 the thirteenth book of this vast epic, and treats upon the 
 eternal problem opened by "those eighteen upon whom the 
 Tower of Siloam fell." Whence is it that we suffer? Why 
 is it that we inflict upon each other, or upon ourselves, un- 
 numbered woes, sometimes willingly, sometimes involun- 
 tarily? What is the origin, after all, of evil ? An answer is 
 given from the Vedantic period to such questions in this 
 
 remarkable section of the Anushasana, which must be 
 5i 
 
THE STORY OF THE SNAKE 
 
 ancient, and may be far older than Christianity. The char- 
 acter of the Sanskrit text hereabouts is certainly not to be 
 distinguished from portions clearly authentic, known to be 
 written more than two thousand years ago, and in any 
 case the passage deserves to be made known to Western 
 thinkers, if only for its strange dramatic metaphysics. 
 
 After commencing with the usual invocation to Narayan 
 and Nara, and to the goddess Saraswati, the book opens 
 with a speech from the Prince Yudhisthira, addressing the 
 hero Bhishma, who is lying wounded to death upon a bed 
 of arrow-points, vanquished in war by Yudhisthira himself, 
 the most virtuous and the most valiant of the Pandavas. 
 The Prince, great in mind and good of heart, is grieved at 
 the sight of his suffering enemy. He reproaches himself 
 bitterly for having brought about the downfall of so re- 
 nowned a warrior. In his distress and remorse, he wishes 
 that he himself had fallen upon the field along with the 
 vanquished. It is characteristic of this interminable Hin- 
 doo poem that immensely long episodes are introduced at 
 moments when modern poetic art would demand swift and 
 continuous action, or succession of events. Bhishma, dying 
 on his hard battle bed, has already discoursed upon various 
 topics at enormous length. Yet when Prince Yudhisthira 
 implores some spiritual comfort so that his perturbed soul 
 may recover itself from deep remorse and be cleansed from 
 what the Prince thinks is sin, Bhishma proceeds to relate 
 to him the apologue here transcribed, freely but faithfully, 
 
 from the Sanskrit text. 
 
 52 
 

 THE STORY OF THE SNAKE 
 
 Bhishma. 
 
 Why, bappy Prince ! wilt thou so deem thy soul 
 
 Cause of its actions, seeing that thy soul 
 
 Is instrument, not cause ? That this stands true 
 
 Sense cannot learn, being too deep a thing, 
 
 Too imperceptible. Yet, on such head 
 
 Hear thou a bygone story of the talk 
 
 Held between Mrityu and Gautami, 
 
 And Kala, and the Fowler, and the Snake. 
 
 Know, Kunti's son ! the lady Gautami 
 
 Was of a governed and a tranquil mind : 
 
 One day she saw her only son fall dead 
 
 Bit by a serpent, which a fowler seized — 
 
 By name Arjunako — and bound that worm 
 
 With knotted string, and brought to Gautami, 
 
 Saying, "This cursed snake hath been the means 
 
 Of thy son's death, most noble lady ! Speak ; 
 
 Say swiftly how the wretch should be destroyed. 
 
 Were't better that I fling it in the flames, 
 
 53 
 
THE STORY OF THE SNAKi: 
 
 Or hack it into gobbets. Of a truth 
 This base destroyer of thy child must die." 
 
 Gautami. 
 
 Arjunako ! Thou understandest ill ; 
 
 Set free the serpent. Thee it hath not wronged, 
 
 But only me. And who will dare contemn 
 
 The un shunned law that measures harm for harm, 
 
 Sinking their souls to darkness by sin's load ? 
 
 Look ! like a ship that bravely breasts the wave, 
 
 They that sail light by casting sins away 
 
 Cross o'er the ocean of existence safe ; 
 
 But they that take for cargo evil deeds, 
 
 Go to the bottom, as its iron head 
 
 Drags down a spear in water. Killing this 
 
 Will not bring back my boy ; letting it live 
 
 Doth thee and me no harm. Why should we 
 
 earn 
 
 Death for ourselves, dooming the snake to death ? 
 
 54 
 
THE STORY OF THE SNAKE 
 
 The Fowler. 
 
 Great lady ! I have seen high-minded ones 
 Knowing all truths, like thee, thus tender-souled 
 Unto the meanest things that grieve. Such words 
 Howbeit, suit best for those whose hearts are calm, 
 Not for an angered man. I'll kill this snake. 
 Let mild souls, if they may, write all debts down 
 To Fate or Chance ; but plain men right themselves 
 By making foemen pay. What dream is here 
 That we miss heaven by hurting such as hurt ? 
 See now, 'twill comfort thee if I stamp out 
 The reptile's life. 
 
 Gautami. 
 
 If thou wert of my mood, 
 'Twould move thee otherwise. A good man's thought 
 
 Meditates virtue always. This my child 
 
 55 
 
THE STORY OF THE SNAKE 
 
 Was, woe is me ! predestined unto death ; 
 Therefore I will not have thee slay the snake. 
 Anger is poison ; poison hurts. Good friend ! 
 Forgive as I forgive ! Let the wretch go ! 
 
 The Fowler. 
 
 Nay ! nay ! I say, by slaying him we earn 
 Merit hereafter, great and measureless, 
 Even as a man doth well and gaineth praise 
 By sacrifices on the altar. Praise 
 Is won, slaughtering a foe. Bid me to kill, 
 And that shall bring us both credit and peace. 
 
 GAUTAMr. 
 
 What comfort is there if we rack and slay 
 An enemy ? And what good were not lost 
 
 By not releasing where we can release ? 
 
 56 
 
THE STORY OF THE SNAKE 
 
 Thou bear'st a goodly presence. Be thyself ! 
 Pardon this snake with me, and earn desert. 
 
 The Fowler. 
 
 One snake bites many a man. Let us protect 
 The many from this one, preferring them. 
 The righteous make the evil meet their doom, 
 Now, therefore, bid me slay him. 
 
 Gautami. 
 
 Killing him, 
 Fowler ! gives not life back to my son, 
 Nor any other fruit save bitterness. 
 Therefore, thou Man of Blood, let this beast go ! 
 
 The Fowler. 
 
 By killing Vritra, Devaraj made gain, 
 
 And dread Mahadev won his sacrifice. 
 
 57 
 
THE STORY OF THE SNAKE 
 
 Do thou, like them, straightway destroy this worm 
 Without misgivings. 
 
 "None the more for this," 
 Spake Bhishma, " did the high-souled lady bend 
 Her spirit to the sinful deed. Thereon 
 The serpent, by the cord painfully bound, 
 Hard-breathing, and sore-striving to be calm, 
 Uttered these words, as men and women talk, 
 Slowly and sorrowful." 
 
 The Snake. 
 
 Arjunako! 
 What fault is mine in this, thou foolish one ? 
 No wit have I, nor of myself do act. 
 'Twas Mrityu sent me hither. By Death's word 
 I bit this child, and not from choice of mine ; 
 
 So, Fowler, if sin be, the sin is Death's. 
 
 53 
 

 THE STORY OF THE SNAKE 
 
 The Fowler. 
 If thou hast done this evil, set thereto 
 By mandate of another, 'tis thy sin, 
 Being the instrument. The potter moulds 
 His pot of clay, but in that deed is helped 
 By wheel and stick, which also of that pot 
 Were causes. Thus art thou, Serpent, a cause. 
 Who slays must die. Thou didst slay! 'Twas thy 
 
 word. 
 So will I slay thee. 
 
 The Snake. 
 
 But the potter's wheel, 
 And stick, and all his gear, made not that pot ; 
 
 Only obeyed in making ; helpless means 
 
 As I was helpless. Therefore, mighty Sir ! 
 No fault is mine in this, as thou should'st own. 
 If otherwise thou deemest, then at worst 
 
 Those were but causes working under cause, 
 
 59 
 
THE STORY OF THE SNAKE 
 
 The greatest being the first. And, reckoned so, 
 How am I guilty in this deed of death ? 
 Cause primary is guilty, if guilt be. 
 Let potter speak for wheel ! 
 
 The Fowler. 
 
 If not the head, 
 Thou wert the hand in this : thine the fell fang 
 That nipped this tender life. So thou shalt die ! 
 What, Serpent! think'st thou, when a wrong is 
 
 done, 
 The evil doer of the evil deed 
 Stands not to pay therein ? Prepare to die ! 
 Making no better plea. 
 
 The Snake. 
 
 My plea is good ; 
 
 Cause and effect have interholding links : 
 
 60 
 
THE STORY OF THE SNAKE 
 
 I was but agent. If thou wilt see just, 
 The sinfulness of this rests not on me 
 But on the one that sent me. 
 
 The Fowler. 
 
 Wretched worm ! 
 Not meet to live. Thou glozing chatterer ! why 
 List I so long ? Prepare to die. 'Twas vile 
 Biting this little one. 
 
 The Snake. 
 
 The priests, great Lord. 
 Who offer sacrifices do not win 
 The merit or demerit. So then I 
 Ought not to bear what was high Mrityu's deed. 
 
 61 
 
THE STORY OF THE SNAKE 
 
 "At this," said Bhishma, "being named by name, 
 Appeared red Mrityu's self, with noose, and eyes 
 Of terror, and in this wise did she speak." 
 
 Mrityu. 
 
 Serpent ! thy words are true. I sent thee here, 
 
 And thou art not the cause of this child's death. 
 
 Nor I, that bade thee slay. Th' Omnipotent, 
 
 He was the cause, God Kala. As the wind 
 
 Drives the weak clouds whither it will, so I 
 
 Hither and thither pass, by Kala blown. 
 
 All that is Sattica, Rdjas, Tamas ; all 
 
 Which influences, which predominates, 
 
 Which operates in creatures, have for source 
 
 The will of Kala. All this Universe 
 
 Thrills to His will. All thoughts, and acts, and 
 
 words, 
 
 And what doth spring from them, are Kala's work. 
 
 62 
 
THE STORY OF THE SNAKE 
 
 The water, and the wind, sky, fire, and earth ; 
 
 Surya and Soma, Vishnu, Devaraj, 
 
 Vritra, Parjanya; all the streams, and seas, 
 
 Aditi, and the Vasus ; what exists, 
 
 Or did exist, or will, are Kala's deed. 
 
 Why, therefore, Serpent ! dost thou blame me here ? 
 
 If fault attach to me, to thee as well 
 
 Fault would attach. 
 
 The Snake. 
 
 I do not blame thee, Death ! 
 
 Nor call thee blameless. This alone I say, 
 
 That what I did I did of thee. If sin 
 
 May lie on mighty Kala, or not lie, 
 
 How shall a serpent see, how can it know ? 
 
 As I am innocent it liketh me 
 
 Death, too, is innocent. But, Fowler ! thou 
 
 Hast heard the words of Mrityu : loose me then, 
 
 It is not meet to vex a guiltless one, 
 
 Tying him with this cord. 
 63 
 
THE STORY OF THE SNAKE 
 
 The Fowler. 
 
 Aye ! I have heard 
 Thee and thy Mrityn, yet I deem thee not 
 Any more guiltless. Thou and Death wert cause ; 
 And cruel Death, who brings kind eyes to tears, 
 I cannot force to suffer. Thee I can, 
 And thee now will I slay for guiltiness. 
 
 Mmtyu. 
 
 Thou wilt be sinful, Fowler ! he and I 
 Worked no will of our own : Kala is Lord, 
 And all that's done is done by Kala's will. 
 Neither the snake nor I deserve from thee 
 These bitter words ! 
 
 64 
 
THE STORY OF THE SNAKE 
 
 But Bhishma said, " Hereon, 
 Look ! Kala entered, God of Gods ; and took 
 Speech as of man ; and spoke to Mrityu, 
 Arjunako the Fowler, and the Snake." 
 
 Kala. 
 
 Not Death, nor this vile reptile, nor Myself 
 
 Stand guilty anywhere at any time 
 
 Of any creature's dying. They and I — 
 
 Yea ! even I — are all but go-betweens. 
 
 Arjunako ! thou Fowler ! comprehend ! 
 
 The Karma of this child did kill this child, 
 
 No other cause was there that brought its end ; 
 
 Of Karma he did die. That which he wrought 
 
 In many lives ere this, led hereunto 
 
 Implicitly. What he had wrought before 
 
 Made this, and nothing else, the outcoming 
 
 Of what was done ; nor otherwise the Snake 
 65 E 
 
THE STORY OF THE SNAKE 
 
 Thereto was led by Karma, and by that 
 
 Mrityu ; yea, I Myself. For will makes deeds, 
 
 And deeds make Karma, and the Karma makes 
 
 The outcoming. As when ye press the clay 
 
 This way and that, and see it harden, so 
 
 Men for themselves shape Fate. Shadow and light 
 
 Are not more surely tied each unto each 
 
 Than man to Karma, and to Karma, man ; 
 
 Therefore perceive and ponder ! Therefore know 
 
 Not I, nor Mrityu, nor the Snake, nor she, 
 
 The Brahman mother, brought this death about ; 
 
 The child did bring it : 'twas his doing, his, 
 
 Fixed from the flowing past, inevitable. 
 
 Then Bhishma finished, saying : " Thus the God 
 
 And Mrityu, and the Snake, loosed from his cord, 
 
 And Gautami, consoled in heart and mind, 
 
 Went, with Arjunako the Fowler, home.

THE STORY OF THE SNAKE 
 
 Forget all grief, and reach to peace of mind ; 
 For Heaven and Hell and all things come to all 
 By Karma. What has fall'n upon me here 
 Is not thy doing, nor Duryodhana's ; 
 It was to be, because of what hath been."

SOHNI 
 
 A TALE OF INDUS 
 
 Dub miXi — " Dead of drowning " — is the legend on the 
 
 stone, 
 Standing grey, beneath the thorn-tree, by the river's 
 
 brim, alone ; 
 With a woman's name carved — " SOHNI" — and, below, 
 
 cut, round and well, 
 Just a common water chatty ! Know you what it 
 
 means, Patel ? * 
 
 Yes! he knows — the village knows it! all those rags 
 
 a-flutter see 
 On the branches, and those votive shards piled round 
 
 the babul-tree. 
 
 * Head of the village. 
 69 
 
SOHNI 
 
 None passes Sohni's death-place, but ties, for pious 
 
 fear, 
 Strips from his cloth or girdle, or casts a pebble there. 
 
 For lovelier — so he tells us — all Indus' bank beside 
 Than Sohni, the Jat maiden, no maiden might be 
 
 spied ; 
 The cypress not so slim and straight, the musk-deer 
 
 not so light 
 As Sohni with the milk-pots bringing home the goats 
 
 at night. 
 
 He says — this village ancient — that for love and joy 
 
 to see 
 Her dark eyes shining jewel-like, and footsteps passing 
 
 free, 
 And to hear the bangles tattling pleasant music round 
 
 her feet, 
 They changed her name of Sohni, to " Jungl e-Honey 
 
 Sweet." 
 
 70 
 
SOHNI 
 
 But ever by the river, growing up so fair and fine — 
 Daughter, besides, of Damadar, who owned a score of 
 
 kine — 
 The great ones did desire her ; and Sohni's youth and 
 
 grace 
 Were sought by Govind, soucar,* of evil soul and 
 
 face. 
 
 And all because that son car held half the village 
 
 bound 
 With debts at heavy usury, men trembled if he 
 
 frowned ; 
 So Sohni must be Govind's wife, the next new moon 
 
 but three ; 
 Yet Sohni — milking, singing — wist not that this 
 
 would be. 
 
 Her mind was with her Indian boy, beyond the yellow 
 stream, 
 
 * Soucar : a native money-lender. 
 7* 
 
SOHNI 
 
 Who played the bansuli * so sweet he might God 
 
 Krishna seem, 
 So had he piped her heart away, and when the moon 
 
 grew dim 
 Sohni would swim the Indus, to find her heart, and 
 
 him. 
 
 To sit, before 'twas sunrise, under the peepal-tree 
 And listen to his songs of love upon the bansuli, 
 And make him better music yet, with sighs and whis- 
 pered words, 
 Till time came they must sunder, and drive afield their 
 herds. 
 
 Then Sohni, with a last embrace, bound underneath 
 
 her breasts 
 The round black chatty, stopped with grass, whereon 
 
 the fisher rests 
 
 * Bansuli : Hindoo flute. 
 
 72 
 
SOHNI 
 
 What time he spreads his river-nets; and, so, stem- 
 ming the tide, 
 Came back upon the chatty safe once more to her side. 
 
 Then to the cover of the reeds the friendly jar she 
 
 drew, 
 And lightly tripped a-milking, till love's star gleamed 
 
 anew; 
 Full many a glad and secret night, when Luximan did 
 
 blow, 
 Sohni swam o'er the Indus, to meet her lover so. 
 
 But once it fell that Govind — too early gone abroad — 
 Saw Sohni with her chatty, breasting the watery 
 
 road — 
 A lotus-blossom drifting ! Ah ! Govind's angry eyes 
 Marked ; and his evil spirit an ill deed did devise. 
 
 From out its place of keeping fair Sohni's jar he drags, 
 And hides another like it amidst the reeds and flacrs. 
 
 o 
 
 73 
 
SOHNI 
 
 Oh ! trick of cruel cunning ! 'tis a pot of unbaked 
 
 clay, 
 Will soften in the water-flood and swiftly melt away. 
 
 And, when again the month grew dark, Luximan's 
 
 bansuli 
 Sounds ; and fond Sohni hears it, and hastens to her 
 
 tree; 
 There clasps the traitorous chatty, and plunges from 
 
 the brink, 
 But — half across — feels fatally the false clay yield and 
 
 sink. 
 
 A little while, for love and life, her brown hands beat 
 
 the wave ; 
 But broad and strong runs Indus, and none is near to 
 
 save: 
 Down in the dark swift river, her slender limbs are 
 
 drawn — 
 The soucar and the jackals hear that dying scream! 
 
 At dawn 
 
 74 
 
SOHNI 
 
 Yonder — upon the sandy spit — lies Sohni, stiff and 
 cold, 
 
 The water-grasses tangled round the heart that was 
 so bold ; 
 
 Dub MUI — "drowned;" and so we set her death- 
 stone by her tree 
 
 Cursing the soucar Govind, who wrought such villainy.

MY GUESTS 
 
 Gallant and gay, in their doublets of grey 
 All at a flash — like the dartings of flame, — 
 Chattering Arabic, African, Indian — 
 Certain of springtime, my swallows came ! 
 
 Doublets of grey silk, and surcoats of purple, 
 And ruffs of russet round each white throat, 
 Garmented brave they had crossed the waters, 
 Mariners sailing with never a boat ! 
 
 Sailing a sea than the bluest deep bluer, 
 
 Vaster to traverse than any which rolls 
 
 'Neath kelson of warship, or bilge of trader, 
 
 Betwixt the brinks of the frozen Poles ; 
 77 
 
MY GUESTS 
 
 Cleaving the clouds with their moon-edged pinions 
 High over city and vineyard and mart ; 
 April to pilot them — May tripping after ; 
 And each bird's compass his small stout heart. 
 
 Meet it seemed such rovers to welcome, 
 Travellers lordly, and bold, and wise ; 
 I doffed my hat on that golden morning 
 To the first of their band who met my eyes ; 
 
 Saying, " Al sabah al khaireh, Swallow ! 
 If you're from Egypt, of Nile what news? " 
 " Chitra ! chitra I " he cheeped, quick flying ; 
 "'Tis Hindi, then, that your worship would use," — 
 
 " Ap hi mihrbart " — but he would not listen, 
 
 Scouring the daisies in headlong flight ; 
 
 You'd want some breakfast, too, if you travelled 
 
 From Ebro to Thames in a single night ! 
 78 
 
MY GUESTS 
 
 Still I think that he held me civil, 
 For he came again ; and my foreign friend, 
 Glossy, and plump, and familiar, and loving, 
 A fair she-swallow did then attend. 
 
 Ah ! of the air what an Atalanta ! 
 How should we fare if our mistresses flew 
 A mile in an eye-wink to mock a lover ; 
 With bright Hippomenes chasing, too ! 
 
 Yet all in good time they roved together, 
 Paired like a doubled lightning-flash, 
 Birds of one heart and one mind and one feather 
 Lastly, she sate on my window- sash. 
 
 Lord ! such a Lady-Bird ! eyes so shining, 
 
 Feet so dainty, and mien so proud ! 
 
 Judging her Spanish — some small Senora — 
 
 " La casa e sua ! " I said, and bowed. 
 79 
 
MY GUESTS 
 
 Yes ! and forthwith at rny word she took me ; 
 Made a home of my house ; surveyed 
 A sheltered nook in the porch ; and entered 
 Into possession. There, unafraid, 
 
 Day after day her nest she moulded, 
 Building, with magic — and love — and mud — 
 A grey cup, made by a thousand journeys, 
 And the tiny beak was the trowel and hod. 
 
 Then, — no more chatter, and no more twitter 
 
 Till Silence and Night saw the cup contain 
 
 Four pearls — Love's treasures! 'tis "eggs" men call 
 
 them, 
 Yet, if we would ponder a miracle plain, 
 
 Think on the speed, and the strength, and the glory, 
 
 The wings to be, and the jubilant life, 
 
 Shut in those exquisite secrets she brooded, 
 
 My Guest's small consort, the swallow's wife ! 
 
 80 
 
 
MY GUESTS 
 
 Nay, and no southern Lazzarone, 
 
 No lazy desert-bred Beddawee, 
 
 Was her glossy husband ! five hundred forays 
 
 'Twixt morning and evening accomplished he, 
 
 Hawking the gnats, and raiding the midges. 
 And darting home from his dipping bath 
 With meat in his mouth for the wife and children ; 
 A Lord more gentle no Lady hath ! 
 
 A Lady more faithful no Lord could boast of ; 
 But the full pride came when, above the nest, 
 Peeped four little birdlings, in purple and russet, 
 And the gleam of as many a white satin breast. 
 
 "A los ninos qite duermen" I sang, in her Spanish, 
 11 Dios los bendice ! " She flirted away 
 The better to show me her jewel-eyed darlings 
 Along the edge of the cup of clay. 
 
 8 1 F 
 
MY GUESTS 
 
 Now, dawn after dawn, there are painstaking lessons 
 To teach sky-science, and wing's delight ; 
 Soon will they follow the swift feet of Summer; 
 Oh ! Sefior Swallow ! I envy your flight ! 
 
 Ah ! Golondrina ! I grieve you are going ! 
 
 Say greetings for me to my East so dear ! 
 
 You have paid your rent with your silvery cheepings, 
 
 " La casa e sua ! " Come back next year !

 [From the Verses of M. Hector Sombre.] 
 Called " Pocmes Sinceres." 
 
 A THOUSAND million curses ! 'tis pitiful to see 
 
 In all our foolish ages so many bards should rise 
 To chaunt the barren splendour of thy billows, cold and 
 foul, 
 Thou dull, ferocious Ocean ! that makest mortals 
 wise 
 Blaming the blundering Providence created such as 
 thee. 
 
 Yea ! poets after poets have tuned their loudest strings 
 
 To shameful harmony with what thy murderous 
 
 music moans :

A FRENCHMAN TO THE SEA 
 
 From Koman Virgil down to now, there is no minstrel

 Who hath not, in thy gulfs of green, found infinite 
 
 fair tones 
 Gilt by the dying day; thou Grave of Man's endea- 
 
 vourings ! 
 
 Aye ! thou vile treacherous Curse of earth ! thou craw- 
 ling sexless sea ! 
 They hymn and twangle to thee for a sacred element ; 
 Whereas, along thy glimmering face, which cheating 
 tints embroid, 
 Death stalks, at devilish business, in sombre storm- 
 clouds pent, 
 Laughing to spy how many lie, whelmed in thy cruelty. 
 
 But I, who know thee nearly, and thy false heart, cold 
 and vain, 
 And what for this ill glory hath been man's bitter

 When I behold the setting sun go weary to his rest. 
 Plunging his heavy golden ball into thy hissing 
 spray, 
 I say, "It is a bowl of blood the blood-sucker doth 
 drain ! " 
 
 Thy rippliugs and thy murmurings ! — Ah, Giicuse! we 
 understand ! 
 The harlots lisp and whisper in every land like 
 this : — 
 But yon strong rock which must abide the lying sea's 
 caress, 
 He knows it is a Beast that licks, to swallow, not to 
 kiss; 
 Or, if a kiss, — Iscariot's, with the silver in his hand. 
 
 Green rolls thy surge, and green, they say, is hue of 
 
 hope and faith : 
 
 Yet deeper gaze! mark how the greys and yellows 
 
 underlie ! 
 
 107 
 
A FRENCHMAN TO THE SEA 
 
 See what an inner glare is there ; fierce, full of subtle- 
 ness, 
 Know ye not where is met the like ? 'tis in the wild 
 beast's eye 
 
 When gaunt he prowls at even-time, his glance alight 
 with death. 
 
 Bah ! wooing, wheedling summer Seas ! white cats of 
 Neptune's plain ! 
 That purr your crafty ron-rons ; and come, and go, 
 and come, 
 Arching such hypocritic backs, as if ye joyed to have 
 The ships and mariners so brave upon your bounding 
 foam ; 
 We know you, hungry-bellied tibs ! pinched with an 
 empty pain ! 
 
 Some feign that in those whitening crests fancy may 
 bring to mind 
 Flocks of sea-sheep that graze thy fields, while shep- 
 herd-winds do blow ; 
 108 
 
A FRENCHMAN TO THE SEA 
 
 But I have watched thy foam- wreaths, and what they 
 
 mean I see, 
 Pale rended frocks of sailor-folk, dragged to the ooze 
 
 below, 
 White locks of ancient skippers, grey corpses drifting 
 
 blind. 
 
 What ! praise thee for thy vastness huge ? dub thee the 
 "mighty" Main? 
 Ah, Traitress! let them ask of thee how many sea- 
 men sped 
 Helped fill thee up? how many tears, by wives and 
 mothers poured, 
 Aided to heap salt fathoms over those precious dead ? 
 Vast Sea! 'twas weeping made thee vast! man's loss 
 hath been thy gain. 
 
 And last, " La Merff" One foolish day some Gaul 
 
 did style thee "Mire" 
 
 Thinking thee truly " Mother " ; seeing thee smooth 
 
 and suave

 But thou didst wash the sweet word off, with brine of 
 
 scornful surge, 
 And — lest the worst of human dams blush for that

 there ! 
 
 Hear ye not that sound, in the air, 
 Like the wail of some despair, 
 
 Like the shriek of one they wrong ? 
 'Tis La Gueuse, the lecherous Main ! 
 Mad for men, she wants again 
 
 Wrecks to swallow : that's her song ! 
 
 Ugh ! the monstrous female creature, 
 
 Camel-backed, and foul of feature, 
 
 Well she knows our lads to charm !

A FRENCHMAN TO THE SEA 
 
 Those she lures to her green caverns 
 Go to death as to their taverns ; 
 None feel horror or alarm. 
 
 See, too, how her breast obscene 
 Specked with sea-sweat, grey and green, 
 
 Heaves in wrigglings scandalous ! 
 'Tis because to-night her lust 
 For our blue-eyed fishers, must 
 
 Snatch a dozen more from us. 
 
 Ah, poor souls ! what ill decree, 
 What undreamed-of destiny 
 
 Lured ye to such evil plight ? 
 Wherefore, doomed so soon to die, 
 Did your foolish hearts rely 
 
 On a God " Who doeth right " ? 
 
 'Tis because by cunning snare, 
 
 Worse than mortal murders are, 
 
 She her lovers doth enfold ; 
 in

 'Tis because she lets them drag 
 Hard bread from her bowels — Hag !- 
 Bought with agonies untold. 
 
 They have started, our sea-boys, to keep the pots 
 
 boiling, 
 A dozen true hearts, on the brine to go toiling ; 
 They know with La Gueuse 'tis not matter for laughter, 
 But the babes must have victuals, whatever come 
 
 after ; 
 And, when in the cottage these wail for a crust, 
 Let the waves howl their loudest, go fishing they 
 
 must ; 
 So, they launch to the deep in their poor fragile 
 
 boat, 
 Which seems like a bird's nest — no bigger ! — to 
 
 float

A FRENCHMAN TO THE SEA 
 
 For the brutal horse-play of those billows, a toy ! 
 
 But the good gallant fellows their vigour employ, 
 
 And at first the shrewd vixen, all dimple and leer, 
 
 Smiles around the full meal, which will make her fine 
 
 cheer ; 
 
 Then, the crave for men's lives overcoming her soul, 
 
 Leaping up to the darkness her black billows roll, 
 
 And a vision of horror it grows, to behold 
 
 Those martyrs of duty, sires thirty years old, 
 
 Stripped, ravaged, and slain by this element suave 
 
 Which Monsieur Lamartine for "mistress" would have. 
 
 No ! never fell lion sent forth such a cry 
 
 By night, in the desert, alone, to the sky, 
 
 As that horrible, murderous, howl of the Main ; 
 
 And never a hydrophobe, raging with pain, 
 
 Such ghastly sounds uttered ; no mad hurricane, 
 
 The blindest, and loudest, and worst which could be 
 
 Ever showed itself savage and wild as that Sea ! 
 
 Nor elsewhere so cruelly pushed is the law 
 
 Which dooms our poor manhood to peril and awe, 
 
 "3 II 
 
A FRENCHMAN TO THE SEA 
 
 As there, by those waves, which no skill can subdue : 
 Ah, ah ! shout your loudest, you hapless ones, you ! 
 The gulf will not care for your mournful appeal : 
 See, see now ! 'tis finished ! the surges conceal 
 The souls they have slaughtered, with green shroud 
 
 out-spread 
 Iu silence for ever deep over our dead ! 
 And 'tis this; 'tis the judgment that heareth no 
 
 plea, 
 'Tis the brutal, unheeding, self-will of the Sea, 
 Which, for certain, must shock the kind eyes of the 
 
 stars ; 
 That scream of the drowning Night's splendour which 
 
 mars, 
 
 That fate always ready, wherever seas spread, 
 
 For the fisher whose sole sin is toiling for bread. 
 
 Aye, Academicians ! what ye laud so well 
 
 It is this scena infernal, this picture of hell, 
 
 This hateful chef-d'oeuvre of Nature, infect, 
 
 Accursed, unslaked ; which your poet elect,

 I swear that I know not a lie more immense ! 
 
 Oh ! yes, and her holiday lying pretence ! 
 
 Well I know how, with the dav. 
 When her food is hid away, 
 She, La Gueuse-, not hungry now, 
 Clears the terrors from her brow. 
 
 And I know, upon the sands 
 
 How mesdames, in laughing bands, 
 
 Not much troubled as to dress, 
 
 Hunt for shells in wantonness.

 How the famous artists come,

 Pile the pebbles, delve the beach, 
 Spade and bucket, each to each.

 Glad to trifle with the Sea, 
 Pleased to show their tender flesh 
 In her breakers, sharp and fresh. 
 
 Yet I, alas ! despite those tricks and guiles, 
 
 The sea-beach games, the children's happy smiles, 
 
 Never forget those widows standing by 
 
 That, waiting vainly for their dead ones, cry : 
 
 116 
 
A FRENCHMAN TO THE SEA 
 
 "Aye ! dip into the waves your shapely toes, 
 
 Mesdames ! who smell of jasmine and of rose, 
 
 Who take sea-kisses from the fawning sea, 
 
 And know it not a Murderess, as we ; 
 
 We — unto whom our absent 'twill not give. 
 
 Whose dead men are as many as do live ; 
 
 We, too, to this vile Sea our breasts have bared 
 
 To shame her that she slew the sons they reared."

FROM THE PERSIAN 
 
THE FOUR FIRST GHAZALS 
 OF HAFIZ 
 
 GHAZAL I. 
 
 Aid yd ! send the Cup round ! Saki ! brim and 
 
 send ; 
 Love, which at first was easy, grows harder at the 
 
 end ; 
 
 For ache of what the Breeze brought from that musk- 
 scented brow. 
 
 Those purple tangled tresses, hearts' blood is dropping 
 now. 
 
 Well ! dye the prayer-mat darker with wine, then ; as 
 
 'tis bid ; 
 Such solace of Love's stages from Magians is not hid ; 
 
FROM THE PERSIAN 
 
 But this stage, Best-Beloved ! is too long ! when the 
 
 bell 
 Calls to unpack the camels, by Go J ! it will be well. 
 
 The Black Night, and the fearful Wave, and whirlpool 
 
 wild of Fate ; — 
 Oh, lightly-burdened ones ashore ! what reck ye of our 
 
 state ? 
 
 Wending mine own way, unto woe and ill-fame I was 
 
 brought ; 
 How, in the loud Assemblies, could such high lore be 
 
 taught ? 
 
 If thou wilt find The Presence, Hafiz ! why, seek it so ! 
 This world or the Beloved, choose one, and let one go ! 
 
 122 
 
GHAZAL II. 
 
 Oh, glory of full-mooned fairness ! and lustre of 
 
 lighted grace ! 
 Beauty sleeps deep in thy dimple, and, hid in thy 
 
 chin -pit, Grace. 
 
 Then only my heart shall know quiet, bright brows ! 
 
 and tresses in riot ! 
 Then — Well-Belov'd ! — when its longings win forth to 
 
 the peace of thy place. 
 
 My soul, risen up to my lip, stands eager to see thee, 
 
 and go ; 
 
 Backward and forward it flitteth ; it fluttereth toward 
 
 thee, and fro. 
 
 123 
 
FROM THE PERSIAN 
 
 What is thy pleasure ? ah, say ! . . . " Hafiz ! hard is 
 
 the way ; 
 Keep thy skirt from the dnst! many have finished 
 
 in woe." 
 
 Yet would my heavy heart hear what th' Heart- 
 
 subduer intends ; 
 Oh, by my soul I swear — I swear by your souls, sweet 
 
 friends ! 
 
 No help's in this watching of ours ! Buy, quick as 
 
 ye may, red wine ; 
 Buy from the happy drunkards for whom sleep maketh 
 
 amends. 
 
 In the comfort of wine's warm slumber the swoon- 
 bound spirit may wake, 
 
 Some dew from a secret lip, some light from an eye- 
 beam take ; 
 
 124 
 
GHAZAL IT 
 
 Lips ! eyes ! with a breeze from the Blest, let come 
 
 rich scent of her breast, 
 I shall breathe 't, and be glad, as the dust is glad for 
 
 the rose's sake. 
 
 Ho ye that do quaff the bowls at banquet of Jam ! 
 
 drink on ! 
 With empty cups to your full cups we pledge ; we will 
 
 fill them anon ! 
 
 To those who to God are dear — to Yazd, wind ! these 
 words bear ! 
 
 May the heads of the loveless be balls for their horse- 
 bats, every one ! 
 
 From the place of Propinquity far, we languish ; but 
 
 Love hath his wings ; 
 
 The slaves of your Lord we are, singing praise to the 
 
 King of all Kings. 
 
 12; 
 
FROM THE PERSIAN 
 
 Sultan of Kings! High Star! send down love-rays 
 
 from far, 
 And I Heaven's threshold will kiss, as the earth-edge 
 
 the zenith en-rings. 
 
 Hahz utters his prayer ; 
 Listen, and Amin say ! 
 " Give him his daily bread 
 
 From the sugar-sweet lips alway ! " 
 
 26 
 
GHAZAL III. 
 
 Saki ! dye the cup's rim deeper with the crimson of 
 
 the wine ; 
 Minstrel ! sing of love, and tell us things desirable, 
 
 divine. 
 
 In the gold I saw reflected plain my Well-Beloved's 
 
 face! 
 Ye, that are not ever drunken ! Senseless ! Void of 
 
 joy and grace ! 
 
 Those your pale ones, those your prim ones, poor of 
 
 stature, give delight 
 Only till my Cypress showeth, till my Moon swims into 
 
 sight. 
 
 127 
 
FROM THE PERSIAN 
 
 Never dies the heart enkindled from this flame of Love 
 
 divine : 
 On the tablets of the Ages writ eternally is mine. 
 
 In the day of the Uprising not more profit will be 
 
 got 
 From permitted bread of Shaikh, than our unlawful 
 
 drink, I wot. 
 
 Breeze ! if by that bed of rose-leaves, where the Well- 
 Beloved lies, 
 
 Thou dost sigh, take heed to whisper these my passion- 
 laden cries. 
 
 Why let slip a living lover's name from memory, 
 
 passing by, 
 
 Since too quickly falls forgetting when the day comes 
 
 that we die. 
 
 128 
 
GHAZAL III 
 
 To the Heart-Entangler's seeing this my drunkenness 
 
 shows well, 
 Freely therefore wine they gave me — those high Lords 
 
 of Heaven and Hell. 
 
 Quaffing Hadji Kivam's wine-cup, there I saw, by 
 
 grace of him, 
 In the green sea of the Night the new Moon, like a 
 
 shallop, swim. 
 
 Ah, my heart is like a tulip, closing up in time of 
 
 cold ; 
 When, at length, shy Bird of Fortune ! shall my snare 
 
 thy wings enfold ? 
 
 Bird of Fortune ! Bird of Favour ! spread the net, oh, 
 
 Hafiz ! — spread ! 
 It may chance her wandering pinions to the lure shall 
 
 yet be led. 
 
 129 T 
 
GHAZAL IV. 
 
 SuFi, hither gaze ! for brightly shines the Mirror of 
 
 the Cup ; 
 Gaze into the ruby wine, and see what thing it 
 
 flingeth up. 
 
 No one ever noosed the Anka — God's Bird — throw 
 
 away thy snare ! 
 All its mesh can ever catch thee, in this world, is 
 
 empty air. 
 
 Cleave to pleasures of the Present ! Adam, judging 
 
 otherwise, 
 
 Lost his altered House of Peace ; the lovely lawns of 
 
 Paradise. 
 
 131 
 
FROM THE PERSIAN 
 
 At Time's table, quick to vanish, quaff a cup, ere thou 
 
 must go ; 
 Ask not what He will not give thee, leave to always 
 
 banquet so. 
 
 Foolish, niggard Heart ! Youth's flitted, and thou didst 
 
 not pluck one Eose 
 From Life's red bush ! What's remaining ? name and 
 
 fame at life's dull close ? 
 
 Yet, except from drunkards, fuddled with God's 
 
 glorious Wine, none learns 
 What was veiled : the bigot Zahid nothing of himself 
 
 discerns. 
 
 Unto us will come the wages — us who never left His 
 
 Gate ; 
 
 Lord ! Thy slaves lie at Thy threshold : have Thou pity 
 
 on their state ! 
 
 132 
 
WHY THE POET IS OF GOOD 
 CHEER 
 
 (From Ghazal 477 of Hafiz) 
 Letter Wau. 
 
 The new Moon's silver sickle, and the Night's star- 
 fields I saw ; 
 
 And, for my own life's reaping-time, fell on my spirit 
 awe. 
 
 v ' Awake, awake, good Genius!" I cried; "look, here's 
 
 the sun ! " 
 
 " Woe's me ! " — " Nay ! " spake he sweetly : " the deeds 
 
 which thou hast done 
 
 133 
 
WHY THE POET IS OF GOOD CHEER 
 
 " Are done. Have thou no terrors ! Say, ' Settle all 
 
 accounts, 
 Earth ! with this corpse I leave thee, while my glad 
 
 spirit mounts.' 
 
 " Say, ■ Sky ! boast not thy starry pomp ! we who 
 
 God's Sufis be, 
 Sell moonbeams at a barleycorn, and the Pleiades for 
 
 three!'" 
 
 1.34 
 
ROSES FROM S'ADI'S 
 "ROSE-GARDEN" 
 
 (THE GULISTAN) 
 
THE WORLD 
 
 This World, my Brother, will abide for none, 
 Set heart on Him that made the World alone ; 
 Fix no reliance here, plan no repose, 
 Who lived are dead, and thou shalt be as those : 
 'Tis one, — when towards Departure souls draw nigh- 
 To sit on thrones, or on bare earth to lie. 
 
 GREATNESS 
 
 Many a Lord hath been shovelled away 
 
 Leaving no trace on his lands to-day ; 
 
 The proud old carcases under the stones — 
 
 The grave hath eaten their last little bones 
 137 
 
ROSES FROM S'ADI'S "ROSE-GARDEN" 
 
 But the name of Nushirvan, from year to year, 
 Lives for his largesses, happy and dear ; 
 King ! do good ! fetch profit from breath ! 
 Before they say : " 'Tis thine hour of death ! : ' 
 
 LEAN BUT LEARNED 
 
 Came it to your ears to hear 
 What the gaunt philosopher 
 One day, in his wisdom, said 
 To a proud, fat, pudding-head ? 
 " Friend ! " quoth he, " an Arab steed. 
 Though he should be lean indeed, 
 By his quality surpasses 
 All a stableful of asses ! " 
 
 138 
 
ROSES FROM S'ADI'S "ROSE-GARDEN 
 
 A LEADER 
 
 I am not he, in the battle 
 
 Of whom they shall see the back : 
 Look for me where the blood 
 
 Runs red, and the dust rolls black ; 
 Leaders that fly from the field 
 
 With the lives of their men wage war. 
 Stake your souls on the fight, 
 
 Ye, who the chieftains are ! 
 
 CONTENTMENT 
 
 Ten darweeshes upon one mat sleep well, 
 But in one kingdom two kings cannot dwell. 
 
 i39 
 
ROSES FROM S'ADI'S "ROSE-GARDEN 
 
 THE SAME 
 
 The man of God with half a loaf to munch 
 To fellow-beggars gives the other hunch ; 
 But if a King a whole dominion seizes, 
 Till he gains such another nothing pleases. 
 
 BEGINNINGS 
 
 A TREE that to-day its first twig shoots 
 
 The hand of a little one lightly uproots, 
 
 But if, for a season, ye shall delay, 
 
 Oxen and cords will not drag it away : 
 
 With a straw ye can stop the springs, which drown 
 
 The lordly elephants lower down. 
 
 140 
 
ROSES FROM S'ADI'S "ROSE-GARDEN" 
 
 INCONGRUITIES 
 
 Soil and shadow may be suited, but the wrong seed 
 
 will not grow ; 
 On a rock, in hopes they'll stay there, nuts and 
 
 almonds do not throw ! 
 
 LOST LABOURS 
 
 If the Water of Life were to raiu 
 The willows would bear us no plums ; 
 On the worthless bestow not your pain, 
 From the marsh-mallow no sugar comes. 
 
 141 
 
ROSES FROM S'ADI'S "ROSE-GARDEN" 
 
 OBSCURE ENEMIES 
 
 What Zal once said to Kustum dost thou know ? 
 "Think none contemptible who is thy foe ! 
 At fountain-head the rillet trickles small 
 Which lower, drowns the camel, load and all." 
 
 DISCRIMINATION 
 
 A GOOD blade out of worthless steel did never any 
 
 make, 
 Ay, Hakeem ! waste no patience for a wicked person's 
 
 sake ; 
 The rain that in its gracious fall for all doth favour 
 
 show 
 Brings tulips forth in gardens, but sets poison- weeds 
 
 to grow. 
 
 14- 
 
FROM THE FIFTH "GATEWAY" OF 
 THE "GULISTAN" 
 
AT COURT 
 
 He who with favour by Kings is named 
 For the faults he shows he shall never be shamed ; 
 And he that is thrust from the princely grace 
 There is none to praise him in all the place. 
 
 FAMILIARITY 
 
 A Lord with slave of fairy-face commenced in sport 
 
 and laughter, 
 
 What marvel if the Lord grew slave, and slave was 
 
 Master, after? 
 
 145 K 
 
FROM THE FIFTH "GATEWAY" 
 
 Best speeds the servant bearing pots, or piling high 
 
 the bricks ; 
 When such an one is o'er-endeared like a fed ass he 
 
 kicks. 
 
 HOPELESS LOVE 
 
 My hand from my Beloved's skirt I cannot take 
 
 away, 
 Though with a sword she smite me sharp, and, in her 
 
 anger, slay : 
 I have no place of sheltering, no refuge half so 
 
 sweet ; 
 If I should fly 'twould only be to creep back to her 
 
 feet. 
 
 146 
 
FROM THE FIFTH "GATEWAY 
 
 BEAUTY 
 
 The Lords of War do slay their foes by might of 
 
 brawn and bone, 
 But fair ones kill their lovers by loveliness alone. 
 
 WILFULNESS 
 
 In vain physicians mingle bitter drinks 
 While the sick stomach still of sugar thinks. 
 
 147 
 
FROM THE FIFTH "GATEWAY" 
 
 THE TEST 
 
 As long as nothing rash or mad thou doest for love 
 
 of me. 
 No lover, sir ! art thou of mine, and I am nought 
 
 to thee ! 
 
 A DIFFERENCE 
 
 Ill-looking people you may roughly handle 
 When they shall come between you and the candle, 
 But, if it be a smiling, sweet-lipped Miss, 
 Put out the lamp, and catch her sleeve, and kiss. 
 
 148 
 
FROM THE FIFTH "GATEWAY" 
 
 THE PASSION. OF THE SOUL 
 
 Happy those eyes that, every dawn, can see 
 
 A face so fair ! Who's drunk with wine may be 
 
 Sober by midnight : but who this way slakes 
 
 His thirst, is drunk till Judgment-Morning breaks. 
 
 M9 
 
A JAPANESE SOLDIER 
 
 Extract translated from letter of an officer in Marshal Yama- 
 gata's Corean Army : " I send you the enclosed true 
 account of the death of Shirakami Genjiro, a young 
 soldier, who was the first man killed at our battle of 
 Song-hwan, &c." 
 
 Shirakami Genjiro, 
 
 Bugler in the Line ! 
 You shall let our Westerns know 
 
 Why the kiku* shine ; 
 Why the Sun-flag, gleaming 
 
 Bright from field to field, 
 Drives the Dragon, screaming, 
 
 Makes the Pig-tails yield. 
 
 * The chrysanthemum-flowers, emblems of Japan. The Hi-no- 
 maru, a Red Sun on a white ground, is the standard of Japan, 
 and the Dragon, on a yellow ground, of China. 
 
 I5i 
 
A JAPANESE SOLDIER 
 
 Shirakarui Genjiro 
 
 (Okayama man) 
 Left his ripening rice, to go 
 
 Fighting for Japan ; 
 Musket on his shoulder, 
 
 Bugle on his breast, 
 Unto each beholder 
 
 Linesman, like the rest. 
 
 Sad for grey-haired husbandman, 
 
 Fatherly — in years — 
 Sad for pretty Yoshi San, 
 
 Proudly checking tears ; 
 No one in the village, 
 
 Only Genjiro, 
 Careless of the tillage, 
 
 Glad to ship, and go. 
 
 •5- 
 
A JAPANESE SOLDIER 
 
 But the Emperor doth proclaim 
 
 Soldiers must come forth ! 
 Is there not despite and shame 
 
 To Nippon, in the North ? 
 Good at target-practice, 
 
 Or bugle-calls to blow, 
 Duty bids ! the fact is 
 
 Genjiro must go. 
 
 Ah, poor boy ! his home-place 
 
 Never fairer seemed ; 
 Never, out of Yoshi's face 
 
 Softer sunshine beamed ; 
 Yet his country calls him, 
 
 Dai-Nippon hath need ; 
 Whatsoe'er befalls him 
 
 Genjiro will speed. 
 
 i53 
 
A JAPANESE SOLDIER 
 
 Traversed is the ocean, 
 
 Reached Corea's strand ; 
 War's accurst commotion 
 
 Rages o'er the land ; 
 But he knows his Nation 
 
 Watching at his back, 
 While he blows to station, 
 
 Blows for bivouac. 
 
 If 'twere only given 
 
 Genjiro might do 
 By some grace of Heaven 
 
 Something brave and new. 
 Pleasing his General, perchance ;- 
 
 Aa ! 'tis never so ! 
 A bugler nameless must advance, 
 
 And blow, and blow, and blow. 
 
 '54 
 
A JAPANESE SOLDIER 
 
 So blew and marched the Japan boy, 
 
 Still bearing in his breast 
 Deep loyalty for inmost joy, 
 
 Duty for food and rest ; 
 Since, none be born so lowly 
 
 In that sweet Eastern land 
 Who love not Nippon wholly 
 
 Or fear for her to stand. 
 
 The battle-morning frowned, 
 
 The Sun-flags fluttered out ; 
 By Song-hwan, on Corean ground 
 
 Gathered the Chinese rout : 
 Then Genjiro, the peasant, 
 
 Fearless, virgin of war. 
 Saw the good sight and pleasant 
 
 Of foemen stretching far. 
 
 i55 
 
A JAPANESE SOLDIER 
 
 He stood against the General's side 
 
 The brazen bugle clasped ; 
 The Leader glancing far and wide 
 
 His sabre-handle grasped : 
 Then drew — and, smiling, said 
 
 " Blow up the Susume ! 
 Louder than ever thy music played, 
 
 Sound me the charge this day." 
 
 And Genjiro, rejoicing, 
 Sets bugle-lip to lips ; — 
 
 But, at the first loud voicing, 
 A bitter bullet slips 
 
 From forth a powder-cloud, 
 And, plunging in his breast, 
 
 Stains — striking sharp and loud- 
 Baldric and cord and vest. 
 
 156 
 
A JAPANESE SOLDIER 
 
 Oh, red it runs, the small stream 
 
 Will drain away his life ! 
 Kindly the Leader's accents seem, 
 
 But 'tis the nick of strife : 
 Let some hand from him take it 
 
 And blow my onset clear ; 
 One minute lost will make it 
 
 A loss to cost us dear ! " 
 
 " Nay, nay ! " — eyes black with pride — 
 
 Cries wounded Genjiro, 
 " I was to sound, and none beside ! 
 
 And surely I will blow ! 
 This little thing, and last 
 
 I may do for Japan ! " 
 And forth, with might, he blew his blast, 
 
 Already a dead man. 
 
 i57 
 
A JAPANESE SOLDIER 
 
 He blew the charge so loud, 
 
 It blared across the plain ; 
 It rattled, large and proud, 
 
 From mountain unto main : 
 He blew so clear and soft, 
 
 The Pig-tails made to fly 
 Before the Sun-flags, borne aloft, 
 
 Could reach their enemy. 
 
 And, while he blew, the boy's blood 
 
 Fell, scarlet drop by drop, 
 The bugle's mouth — and his — imbrued, 
 
 Nor from the wound would stop 
 The trickling, trickling ! Stoutly 
 
 He sounded SusumS, 
 The call that bids our infantry 
 
 Close in the deadly fray. 
 
 158 
 
A JAPANESE SOLDIER 
 
 To tune of that brave clamour 
 
 The Song-hwan wall was won : 
 The fierce charge sped, the foeruen fled, 
 
 The day's great work stood done. 
 But when they turned, victorious, 
 
 There ! on the crimsoned ground. 
 Clasping his bugle, glorious, 
 
 Young Genjiro was found.

 artistic training and by inherited love of birds
