 The Sovereign in the Street 
 
 The Humpback, the Cripple 
 and the One-Eyed Man 
 
 The Past 
 
 A Death 
 
The Sovereign in the Street 
 
 From a castle of thoughts that my conscience was 
 building 
 I studied a man who was cutting a street, 
 While the round-rolling sun was demeaning and 
 gilding 
 Him thinking and ripping the ditch at his feet. 
 
 Of this native of grief, as he shoveled the furrow, 
 I write, be the subject a poem or not ; 
 
 For as deep did he burrow, my love traveled 
 thorough 
 And writes, be the truth of it rubies or rot. 
 
 Oh, 'tis weird that the truth, like a corpse on the 
 floor. 
 Should bleed on our carpets and stare at the 
 light; 
 And that Art should ignore what she taught us be- 
 fore. 
 And tear up the lessons we prattled last night. 
 
Not with your eyes, my poet, rose-haunted and 
 grave — 
 Thou poet with wondering beauty-mad eyes — 
 Did I look on the slave digging low in the cave, 
 Corroded with dust, sweat, itch, sunbeams and 
 flies. 
 
 dim-blushing poet with Grecian-strung lyre, 
 Declare not my earth-man in melody wrong. 
 
 Nor that Beauty's attire and effulgence inspire: 
 'Tis the voice of the singer makes noble the 
 song. 
 
 Like a grave-digger digging a terrible grave — 
 Like a sun spirit heaving the hot day with coal, 
 
 His dredger he drave and he hove to the pave 
 The clods that he tore from the earth and flung 
 whole. 
 
 The freight of his spade, coming dun from the bung 
 Of the foul-smelling sand, seemed the filth of his 
 fate. 
 And fast while he flung the material dung 
 
 Of the earth he built sidelong the mound of his 
 hate. 
 
The wealth-wasting givers of feasts grew in riches; 
 
 Wide, wide grew the hands at the hilt of the 
 
 task; 
 
 And there came a dream which is a curse on all 
 
 ditches 
 
 And pain guised the laborer's face like a mask. 
 
 The point of the shovel grew inward and blunt 
 
 And the love in the eye of the trencher grew 
 dim; 
 As he dug with a grunt, became shorter in front, 
 And his fingers grew crooked, knock-knuckled 
 and grim. 
 
 Still at underground honor his scepter he points, 
 
 "With negligence digging a tragical story; 
 While some dunce who anoints with wealth his vile 
 joints, 
 Stands proud on the swift-rolling chariots of 
 glory. 
 
 for a lithe shovel of truculent aim 
 
 To gouge at the greed that keeps need in the 
 sands ! 
 For the spade of good fame is of wood and steel 
 frame, 
 But to masters of men it is wood, steel and 
 hands. 
 
Then dig, ye bones, dig; ye have many more years; 
 
 Your sorrows will shine to the eyelids of God; 
 And Destiny hears your soft-falling tears : 
 
 O'er the task of the spade let your man's noddle 
 nod. 
 
 What matters it, marrow and gristle and brain 
 Or tendon and belly and tooth are intent? 
 
 Or that eyeball and vein in a perishing strain 
 
 To the rim of the earth-riving shovel are bent? 
 
 Empowered of shoulder and elbow and groin, 
 In struggle malefic he wearies at length. 
 
 While innard and loin to the hot shovel join. 
 
 Converting his pride to the need of new strength. 
 
 What long-contained smiles have been stopped at 
 those lips? 
 What thoughts dead and useless are oozing in 
 sweat ? 
 What majesty drips on those foul-flanneled hips? 
 How laboring low makes nobility wet! 
 
 What tears that his eyelids a passage denied 
 
 Took a brinier course through the fast-weeping 
 pores ? 
 What thoughts were untied — what escapings of 
 pride 
 When first he dug sands for their silverless ores ? 
 
 10 
 
I could shout to the sun (whose hot splendors are 
 falling 
 And burning this handler of shovels) behold! 
 What devils are calling and gambling and brawling 
 For them who with fingers of gold count their 
 gold. 
 
 But it boots not relating what devils, alack, 
 
 With smutty red limbs and blue bellies are 
 waiting 
 To harrow a pack of scared souls on the rack ; 
 
 That's a matter of prayers and religious debat- 
 ing. 
 
 But the pendulum swaying through seasons to bring 
 The scenic effusion of May, we remember — 
 
 From flowery Spring will as quietly swing 
 
 Back, back in its path to the wilds of November. 
 
 So the beam in Time's balance will pass in its frame 
 And the places of wealth become blighted and 
 cold; 
 For its gold and its fame from weary blood came. 
 And Time will refund it with blood from the 
 gold. 
 
 11 
 
The Humpback, the Cripple and 
 the One-Eyed Man. 
 
 One eve, while at my window-panes I stood, 
 
 Gray films of memory patched the dull gray view, 
 
 Where thoughts, blithe-winged, meandered as they 
 
 would. 
 Like odd-eyed fairies that from childhood flew. 
 When mind's deep glass on childhood's ground 
 
 reflects. 
 Where is the childish tenant of that place? 
 Dead in his older self, now recollects 
 The inscrutable sorrows on that infant's face. 
 Yond sets the sun, that has not lost a day 
 In tacking through the sky his blazing hull. 
 But Where's the light that sunned that child at play? 
 E'en memory's picture-light of it is dull. 
 
 12 
 
Thus oft, while legendary youth adjusting 
 To present movings in the glare of wealth, 
 I gaze past little house-tops poor and rusting. 
 Where honor crawls and freedom breathes by stealth. 
 To those brown wooden homes my thoughts 'gan fall, 
 My love and pity passed; and fancy strayed 
 Through dark defiles of streets, which ended small, 
 And there the ragged-running rabble played. 
 Out of that struggling multifarious throng, 
 A movement, as of setting forth, began; 
 From which emerged a captain huge and strong. 
 What time I saw he was a humpbacked man. 
 
 I next beheld him in my room. His tread 
 Was like an army's, though he came alone. 
 With woes to stoppage fraught, he gazed ahead 
 And, victim of a thousand crimes, did groan. 
 Lofty, though lashed and lulled from eloquent line, 
 Despoilt with tasks and years, on him, withal. 
 Innumerable beauties did still twine. 
 Like roses livening a ruined wall. 
 Rigid with strength, solidified with grief. 
 He felt no amber sun-beams make him bright, 
 But saw, with the magic eyesight of belief. 
 The hand of wrong betwixt him and the light. 
 
 13 
 
His frown was apt with anger to chastise, 
 
 Like God's, to awe the ungodly to obey; 
 
 And yet the kindlier prospect of his eyes 
 
 Was like a twilight turning bluebells gray. 
 
 His smile was like a hope of sweeter woe, — 
 
 A vision rising from a lake of tears; 
 
 For tears from hopes and pent-up visions flow. 
 
 And his had flowed in spirit through the years. 
 
 Of sentences to tie into a tale. 
 
 He lacked supply, nor gained them from the gloom, 
 
 And, when of his few words he made avail, 
 
 His voice was like the coward's in a tomb. 
 
 He showed me wrongs and schedules of complaint. 
 
 In wide expectance of my soon surprise ; 
 
 And at such misery as he could paint. 
 
 Asked me to imitate his bardlike sighs. 
 
 But I, in walls with seemlier pictures brimming. 
 
 Did scrutin his with courtesy at most. 
 
 Ill-framed with splendors, frightless was his 
 
 limning — 
 The noontime telling of a midnight ghost. 
 Then he, with toppling-heavy shoulders bowed. 
 Withdrew unsoothed and through his people went. 
 Obscurely as the shadow of a cloud 
 Through a dark forest. Then my view was bent. 
 
 14 
 
Then came a rogue who entered with a thud — 
 A crippled, crack-legged, crimson-browed alarm, 
 A night-hag's dwarf, inbred with Satan's blood 
 And marked by Hell's astrology for harm. 
 Softly! He is all memory now. But I 
 Remember what a tragic rage he had 
 And physiognomic shadows that did ply 
 His hate and seem, each one, a face to add. 
 Hobbler upon mismated legs he came. 
 Stopping in fault, or with short-coming hurry, 
 Limped hither thither like a shifting flame 
 And cursed and perjured with exceeding worry. 
 
 From a short reverie and scowl aside. 
 This flame-and-smoke hued villain then rebounded; 
 ''Remorse on you! Fall down and weep," he cried, 
 And, being raged, a throaty tale expounded. 
 "Boilers will burst in wrath and vent their ills; 
 New patriots your walls from walls will pluck, 
 Unlock the axles of the frothing mills 
 And hurl the hot vibrating wheels amuck. 
 I see your windows bursted spouting flame 
 And you in cinders blacker than ours now — " 
 Madman! I stopped him there and, with exclaim. 
 Seated my fist compactly on his brow. 
 
 15 
 
Binding his forehead with his arms he quailed 
 Out of my eyes, nor back his dudgeon darting, 
 Avaunted and himself with tears regaled 
 And sobs to keep him company departing. 
 And then I saw that I was not alone: 
 The third who now against me did contrive 
 Was clad in mouldy black, not aye his own, 
 And, having but one eye, looked half alive. 
 The eye survivor seemed in fright to stare 
 Still at the violence that had quashed the other; 
 Or else accounted all the world unfair 
 For leering on the cave left by its brother. 
 
 Shiftless, erelong he into words did stray; 
 Inhaled the simple twilight for his lung. 
 Which worked (in their behalf who were away) 
 The leaky loud poetics of his tongue. 
 His plural and most voluble debating 
 Paused often and amazed to pick its choice 
 Of words and repetitions lost and waiting 
 In the astounding mazes of his voice. 
 He said that we are foemen to defeat them 
 Whose lives we press and purchase hour to hour; 
 And swore that we are cannibals and eat them 
 Whose strength is in the dainties we devour. 
 
 16 
 
** Tripe-fed philosopher and gloomy dunce!" 
 To him I quick in rising soul replied, 
 ''You are the devils cast from Heaven once, 
 Now from the light of heavenly wealth denied. 
 A fool tongue curling, 'justice' is j^our word: 
 Not you, not I, but God knows what that is. 
 And how much debt the crime of life incurred, 
 And how each yearning knave may reason his. 
 To vanquish Heaven is a feat for Hell, 
 That Pleasure, smiling, frighten at Hell's frown; 
 Your duty is to envy and rebel; 
 Mine is to battle your rebellion down. 
 
 "Therefore, should I be gracious to your will. 
 Letting your fortunes bask where mine have 
 
 flourished, 
 And with my art your artless hopes fulfill. 
 Your wants would grow in purpose, being nourished ; 
 Yet would, as grew their project, lose in power. 
 For, being wronged, the courage gains in force; 
 But favors, man, would steal your anger's flower, 
 Leaving you poor in motive and resource. 
 Then should I grant the simple things you ask, 
 I would be shrewdly stealing all you own : 
 The conquest of its own is honor's task; 
 Without which task, how would its work be known?" 
 
 17 
 
Then he, naught saying nor attempting, turned, 
 Slinking off like a lean cat in the rain. 
 But scarce outside his transit I discerned, 
 Another came to give my fancies pain. 
 mortal horror! Not until Hell's doom. 
 When the last shivering consumptive imp 
 Will slam the black and icy gates of gloom 
 And fall convulsed with many a woeful crimp, 
 Will there again such mangled monster crawl 
 Out of the glimmering pits (as if surviving 
 Satan and all his tortures) as did fall 
 Into my sight — a shape that howled arriving. 
 
 Of the deformities of them before 
 He was the ghastly, physical conjunction; 
 Shaped by his wounds and showing many more 
 To try my fear or delicate compunction, 
 Threefoldly damaged, wrenched from noble height, 
 With blood-stains in his beard and hair that ran 
 Into mad masses, he was all, outright. 
 Humpbacked and crippled and a one-ej'^ed man, 
 Like the first huge up-shouldered one he loomed, 
 And like the angry cripple dragged a limb, 
 And like the one-eyed man's his one eye bloomed, 
 And as a gory giant he was grim. 
 
 18 
 
He spoke: "I am that one you firstly scanned. 
 
 I am the man of many woes and wrongs. 
 
 I know the backs that suffer and withstand. 
 
 I know the hearts to which your blood belongs. 
 
 No longer I am anvil to your pride: 
 
 I walk, though lamed by Jealousy and Fear ; 
 
 For when my comrades took me for their guide, 
 
 The jealous rivals of my wrath stabbed here. 
 
 Then I the wisdom of our wants became, 
 
 And he who was half-sighted was put by, 
 
 Shrieking as he struck here with hideous aim, 
 
 'Let our great leader be one-eyed, as I.' 
 
 * ' Thus I am fit memorial of the strife ; 
 
 My body is become a bloody flag. 
 
 Adorned with the atrocities of life, 
 
 I am the fury of the hut and rag. 
 
 Humpbacked I am from shouldering golden wrongs ; 
 
 Lame — all my deeds by jealousy are crippled; 
 
 One-eyed in the half-wisdom of my throngs, 
 
 But in resolve all their terrifies tripled. 
 
 I threaten you. Revenge has yet in keep 
 
 Memory of inextinguishable stuff, 
 
 And Retribution can through armies leap 
 
 Till overcrowded Hell must cry ' Enough ! * 
 
 19 
 
**Your crimes, though weak, have bent me into 
 
 strength, 
 That I may clasp your struggles in my hand. 
 Though bowed, I crush ; though lame, limp to great 
 
 length ; 
 One-eyed, — my deeds I need not understand. 
 Tremble and move as timber struck by steel. 
 Howl with repentance through your vacant fame. 
 Depart on limbs that soon may learn to kneel; 
 And, fallen in escaping, bleed with shame!'* 
 He said no more ; but his dark arm rose high. 
 And he is here. His shoulders heave with woe. 
 And he is thinking and he has one eye; 
 Monster, with wrongs and wrath, he will not go. 
 
 20 
 
The Past 
 
 Tell me not, buff -skulled master, that the heart of 
 
 youth is faster 
 In the orbit of its dreaming when fantastic and un- 
 wise; 
 That our youngest-bred affection is but amorous 
 
 dejection 
 Which experienced correction of our loving will sur- 
 prise. 
 For I reck that if our sighs 
 In the foretime of our Fancy brought the summer 
 to her breast. 
 And she kissed our first request, 
 She will be forever 's best. 
 Though we move a hundred hearts to trust the heart 
 that first she blessed. 
 And of them whose Cupid lies 
 Dead in memory's garden, I too have a fancy in 
 demise. 
 
 21 
 
In that garden of this telling stood a wonder-window 
 
 dwelling 
 With a front of pillared marble and a door of oak 
 
 and gold. 
 There were sculptured lions jessant by a stairway 
 
 irridescent, 
 And a fountain sprayed incessant in a circle there 
 of old. 
 And along the magic mold 
 Bloomed those buds which oft at weddings beatific 
 virgins wear, 
 Fragrant, fortunate and fair. 
 In their enterissued hair, 
 And which oft I wreathed for Daphne when atwain 
 we wandered there; 
 With whose tresses to enfold, 
 Set the fragrance on her forehead for the love the 
 blossoms told. 
 
 Tall beside the trees of twilight, when the daysdone 
 
 of July light 
 Thrilled the sinking world with spectres and our 
 
 eyes with western flame, 
 Turned she slowly and thereat heard myriad fearful 
 
 feet that pattered 
 As unto her ears I flattered deeds of no sufficient 
 
 name. 
 Dame of mythologic frame. 
 Like a near but vague-lipped phantom by a great 
 
 magician wrought, 
 Pale with love and calm for thought. 
 She was past the scope of marvel, more than ardor 
 
 ever sought. 
 And in Heaven's month she came. 
 Tressed like Pluto's queen and featured like a 
 
 harbinger of fame. 
 
 22 : . ; 
 
Then it was the day's perfection seemed no common 
 
 road's reflection 
 But the earthly recollection of a heavenly day be- 
 fore. 
 Yet it seemed the heart's Creator, as our halo-haired 
 
 spectator, 
 Turned our steps from life's equator to a dim and 
 deathlike floor. 
 There the stars by daylight bore 
 Unphenomenal effulgence on our kiss-expectant 
 smiles ; 
 There the amaranthine aisles 
 Of the future bent their miles, 
 Filled with omens that repentance to my life still 
 reconciles, 
 When the ghosts come slow and sore. 
 To the after-years of slumber for a troubled glimpse 
 of yore. 
 
 When those glorious walls were standing, and the 
 
 signal buds expanding 
 Where the previous hand of Spring had painted 
 
 green the earthly chart, 
 Life in life a mansion making, yet with inv/ard 
 
 horror shaking. 
 We beheld the gray dust breaking through the tints 
 of Heaven's art. 
 Anguish has no rougher dart 
 Than the jetty-headed missile whose remembrance 
 still brings pain; 
 For I seldom can attain 
 Pure delight or pleasure feign 
 Forth from her of whom the landscape seemed a 
 pageant in her train, 
 When she stood in scenes apart 
 With omnipotent beauty regent o'er the liegedom 
 of my heart. 
 
 23 
 
In that beauty she descended from the realms of 
 
 light and wended 
 Through the wonders of a passion in the orchard of 
 
 a dream. 
 Mystic then was life's transition as the glamours of 
 
 tradition ; 
 Future lay in recognition; I beheld its banners 
 gleam. 
 Ever now the turbid stream 
 Through the miserable meadow flows to people in 
 the town; 
 And the darkened sun looks down 
 On a field of blasted brown. 
 Gone that manse that spread its marvels for a 
 woman's rich renown, 
 Gone that palace which did seem 
 Consecration in its purpose; in conception there 
 supreme. 
 
 In that edifice adorning the prophetic front of morn- 
 ing— 
 In that architectural marble glowing white upon the 
 
 green — 
 In those towers that eternal years I prayed would 
 
 find supernal 
 And on them lie soft as vernal dews, ambition placed 
 its queen. 
 Superhumanly serene. 
 But her blue-eyed lustrous pallor, and the wreath 
 upon her brow — 
 Gone I know not when or how 
 Are no benediction now 
 On the vanishment of glory or the dead leaves on 
 the bough, 
 With dead ivy stopt between. 
 And the black foundations falling from a structural 
 
 unseen. 
 24 
 
Every window that I cherished in tempestuous 
 
 gloom has perished; 
 Yet I seek that moonlit palace till the searching ends 
 
 in fright. 
 For 'tis wretched, on returning to the substance of 
 
 our yearning, 
 To find shadow fast inurning what was quadrilater- 
 ally bright. 
 Then a fervor fools the sight; 
 For, in thinking of that ground, by actual presence 
 overgrown, 
 I am in the wished-for zone. 
 Where the wisher stands alone 
 And the deathly scenes enliven as the past becomes 
 his own. 
 And that past is flushed with light 
 As my eyelids droop and darken to all save the 
 dreams of night. 
 
 But in mornlight after dreaming, comes a written 
 
 thing redeeming 
 Vestiges of retribution from the penance of my 
 
 days — 
 Is a flash of oldtime smitten by a hand with pallors 
 
 litten, 
 Sending prose epistles written in my past and 
 
 present praise. 
 And upon the inky phrase. 
 White and fragrant yet though folded are those 
 
 buds I once thought fair — 
 Those that usual virgins wear 
 Twisted in their bridal hair. 
 And a sign within the letter tells a kiss was given 
 
 there. 
 
 25 
 
I remember those love-bays 
 Tree-plucked near a path once precious but now 
 dingy in its ways, — 
 Near a door of oak and gold, 
 Where two sculptured lions jessant watched a stair- 
 way irridescent, 
 And a fount I thought incessant, in a circle sprayed 
 of old. 
 
 26 
 
A Death 
 
 The sleeper sobbed and moved again; 
 His visage brown, and death-bed gown, lay wealthy 
 
 in the wealth of men. 
 His veins were sick as pauper's when the pauper 
 pulls his rags again 
 And feels the agony again 
 Of flesh becoming clay again. 
 A burnished bed with old-world lace remained him 
 
 now of worldly grace. 
 Reptilian shadows crossed his face. I thought he 
 would not wake again. 
 
 I touched his heart. It sprang again — 
 Winced after years, of gold, of tears, of curses from 
 
 the hate of men. 
 Twice did he look like death; but when I touched 
 his eyes, they stared again. 
 Insanely shrewd that I again 
 Had thought he might not wake again. 
 From sle^p the eyelids oft awoke; in dying squalls 
 
 the drab mouth spoke. 
 While Death withheld the final stroke, I touched 
 the lips, that moaned again: 
 
 27 
 
**Lord God, give me to live again. 
 'Tis true that T have mouthed the lie, have torn the 
 
 soul from things and men. 
 But I will sweeten them, Lord, when Thou givest 
 me to live again — 
 To breathe of noisy life again, 
 To pet the cheek of youth again. 
 With bleeding soles in stricken gait, let me retrace 
 
 those days of hate ; 
 From honor I will ne'er abate. But who can enter 
 youth again? 
 
 ' ' Not yet sift me with dust again ! 
 Another while on this fair isle, fain would I speak 
 
 with actual men. 
 Send me thy symbol saying when Thou say est, 'Let 
 him live again;' 
 In darling childishness again, 
 In youth's immaculate strength again — 
 And I will flay my soul of greed; the hungry from 
 
 my hunger feed ; 
 Oh, very little should I need, Lord, if I may live 
 again. 
 
 28 
 
''And no sin-gleaming gold again. 
 To love and give I then would live, and publish laws 
 
 of love to men, 
 And give nor be dejected when they came not with 
 their thanks again. 
 I would believe and give again, 
 Rejected be and love again; 
 And through my wisdom would I press the sins and 
 
 lusts that gave me stress, 
 Partaking now of deeds that bless — blessed deed 
 to live again! 
 
 ''Lord, let me preach my wish again: 
 These lands unsold and shores of gold, in freedom 
 
 will I give to men; 
 Yea, wealth and love will I give when I find them 
 touched with life again. 
 Kinder than all my kind again. 
 Would I live, living once again. 
 Rich would it be to wander poor, or nigh the beauti- 
 ful stand pure. 
 And love the darkling and obscure; and thus I 
 would in life again. 
 
 29 
 
''Where is the way to youth again? 
 What access hidden, charm forbidden, gives the 
 
 light of living men? 
 What cave turns through the years and when it 
 opens is the world again? 
 visible gates to see again ! 
 O to unlock those gates again ! 
 Shining like hope when hope is near, that I may in 
 
 and disappear, 
 And, lost within the pleasure, hear the prelude of 
 my life again. 
 
 "So fond am I to .be again 
 The hand-enclasped, the joy-addrest, the laughter- 
 sharing guest of men. 
 And glow with games that loudened when the 
 simplest fancy sang again, 
 That must I pass (to live again) 
 Through Hades, where, in pomp again. 
 The keepers of the secret lurk, near Titans bent in 
 
 monstrous work. 
 And lightnings through the thunders jerk — all 
 would I dare to live again. 
 
 30 
 
*' Those years so good to feel again, 
 Those paths to go, those woods to know, where 
 
 amorons women walk with men, 
 Their sweets I would not envy when they passed 
 nor looked on me again. 
 For, but to see the trees again, 
 Through tortures I would work again; 
 Though every hour that I must pass be reptile 
 
 turned and scaled with brass 
 Their fangs would feel as pleasant grass, o 'er which 
 I tread to youth again. 
 
 "Thus play despair and hope again; 
 Despair, despair, the humble tear of eyes beholding 
 
 happier men. 
 Well worth our envy — envy when? Say will they 
 hope to live again? — 
 To try the mood of Heaven again? 
 let me live to pray again! 
 O faithless bed, rotting boat, upon what waters 
 
 do we float. 
 While I on backward visions dote? Ah! Who has 
 lived and lived again?"
