They did all the talking. MOTHER Folks think a witch who has familiar spirits She could call up to pass a winter evening, But won't, should be burned at the stake or something. Summoning spirits isn't 'Button, button, Who's got the button,' I would have them know. SON: Mother can make a common table rear And kick with two legs like an army mule. MOTHER: And when I've done it, what good have I done? Rather than tip a table for you, let me Tell you what Ralle the Sioux Control once told me. He said the dead had souls, but when I asked him How could that be - I thought the dead were souls, He broke my trance. Don't that make you suspicious That there's something the dead are keeping back? Yes, there's something the dead are keeping back. SON: You wouldn't want to tell him what we have Up attic, mother? MOTHER: Bones - a skeleton. SON: But the headboard of mother's bed is pushed Against the' attic door: the door is nailed. It's harmless. Mother hears it in the night Halting perplexed behind the barrier Of door and headboard. Where it wants to get Is back into the cellar where it came from. MOTHER: We'll never let them, will we, son! We'll never ! SON: It left the cellar forty years ago And carried itself like a pile of dishes Up one flight from the cellar to the kitchen, Another from the kitchen to the bedroom, Another from the bedroom to the attic, Right past both father and mother, and neither stopped it. Father had gone upstairs; mother was downstairs. I was a baby: I don't know where I was. MOTHER: The only fault my husband found with me - I went to sleep before I went to bed, Especially in winter when the bed Might just as well be ice and the clothes snow. The night the bones came up the cellar-stairs Toffile had gone to bed alone and left me, But left an open door to cool the room off So as to sort of turn me out of it. I was just coming to myself enough To wonder where the cold was coming from, When I heard Toffile upstairs in the bedroom And thought I heard him downstairs in the cellar. The board we had laid down to walk dry-shod on When there was water in the cellar in spring Struck the hard cellar bottom. And then someone Began the stairs, two footsteps for each step, The way a man with one leg and a crutch, Or a little child, comes up. It wasn't Toffile: It wasn't anyone who could be there. The bulkhead double-doors were double-locked And swollen tight and buried under snow. The cellar windows were banked up with sawdust And swollen tight and buried under snow. It was the bones. I knew them - and good reason. My first impulse was to get to the knob And hold the door. But the bones didn't try The door; they halted helpless on the landing, Waiting for things to happen in their favour.' The faintest restless rustling ran all through them. I never could have done the thing I did If the wish hadn't been too strong in me To see how they were mounted for this walk. I had a vision of them put together Not like a man, but like a chandelier. So suddenly I flung the door wide on him. A moment he stood balancing with emotion, And all but lost himself. (A tongue of fire Flashed out and licked along his upper teeth. Smoke rolled inside the sockets of his eyes.) Then he came at me with one hand outstretched, The way he did in life once; but this time I struck the hand off brittle on the floor, And fell back from him on the floor myself. The finger-pieces slid in all directions. (Where did I see one of those pieces lately? Hand me my button-box- it must be there.) I sat up on the floor and shouted, 'Toffile, It's coming up to you.' It had its choice Of the door to the cellar or the hall. It took the hall door for the novelty, And set off briskly for so slow a thing, Stillgoing every which way in the joints, though, So that it looked like lightning or a scribble, >From the slap I had just now given its hand. I listened till it almost climbed the stairs >From the hall to the only finished bedroom, Before I got up to do anything; Then ran and shouted, 'Shut the bedroom door, Toffile, for my sake!' 'Company?' he said, 'Don't make me get up; I'm too warm in bed.' So lying forward weakly on the handrail I pushed myself upstairs, and in the light (The kitchen had been dark) I had to own I could see nothing. 'Toffile, I don't see it. It's with us in the room though. It's the bones.' 'What bones?' 'The cellar bones- out of the grave.' That made him throw his bare legs out of bed And sit up by me and take hold of me. I wanted to put out the light and see If I could see it, or else mow the room, With our arms at the level of our knees, And bring the chalk-pile down. 'I'll tell you what- It's looking for another door to try. The uncommonly deep snow has made him think Of his old song, The Wild Colonial Boy, He always used to sing along the tote-road. He's after an open door to get out-doors. Let's trap him with an open door up attic.' Toffile agreed to that, and sure enough, Almost the moment he was given an opening, The steps began to climb the attic stairs. I heard them. Toffile didn't seem to hear them. 'Quick !' I slammed to the door and held the knob. 'Toffile, get nails.' I made him nail the door shut, And push the headboard of the bed against it. Then we asked was there anything Up attic that we'd ever want again. The attic was less to us than the cellar. If the bones liked the attic, let them have it. Let them stay in the attic. When they sometimes Come down the stairs at night and stand perplexed Behind the door and headboard of the bed, Brushing their chalky skull with chalky fingers, With sounds like the dry rattling of a shutter, That's what I sit up in the dark to say- To no one any more since Toffile died. 2o3 Let them stay in the attic since they went there. I promised Toffile to be cruel to them For helping them be cruel once to him. SON: We think they had a grave down in the cellar. MOTHER: We know they had a grave down in the cellar. SON: We never could find out whose bones they were. MOTHER: Yes, we could too, son. Tell the truth for once. They were a man's his father killed for me. I mean a man he killed instead of me. The least I could do was to help dig their grave. We were about it one night in the cellar. Son knows the story: but 'twas not for him To tell the truth, suppose the time had come. Son looks surprised to see me end a lie We'd kept all these years between ourselves So as to have it ready for outsiders. But to-night I don't care enough to lie- I don't remember why I ever cared. Toffile, if he were here, I don't believe Could tell you why he ever cared himself- She hadn't found the finger-bone she wanted Among the buttons poured out in her lap. I verified the name next morning: Toffile.

'I can't get up. Forgive me Not answering your knock. I can no more Let people in than I can keep them out. I'm getting too old for my size, I tell them. My fingers are about all I've the use of So's to take any comfort. I can sew: I help out with this beadwork what I can.' 'That's a smart pair of pumps you're beading there. Who are they for?' 'You mean?- oh, for some miss. I can't keep track of other people's daughters. Lord, if I were to dream of everyone Whose shoes I primped to dance in!' 'And where's John?' 'Haven't you seen him? Strange what set you off To come to his house when he's gone to yours. You can't have passed each other. I know what: He must have changed his mind and gone to Garlands. He won't be long in that case. You can wait. Though what good you can be, or anyone- It's gone so far. You've heard? Estelle's run off.' 'Yes, what's it all about? When did she go?' 'Two weeks since.' 'She's in earnest, it appears.' 'I'm sure she won't come back. She's hiding somewhere. I don't know where myself. John thinks I do. He thinks I only have to say the word, And she'll come back. But, bless you, I'm her mother- I can't talk to her, and, Lord, if I could!' 'It will go hard with John. What will he do? He can't find anyone to take her place.' 'Oh, if you ask me that, what will he do? He gets some sort of bakeshop meals together, With me to sit and tell him everything, What's wanted and how much and where it is. But when I'm gone- of course I can't stay here: Estelle's to take me when she's settled down. He and I only hinder one another. I tell them they can't get me through the door, though: I've been built in here like a big church organ. We've been here fifteen years.' 'That's a long time To live together and then pull apart. How do you see him living when you're gone? Two of you out will leave an empty house.' 'I don't just see him living many years, Left here with nothing but the furniture. I hate to think of the old place when we're gone, With the brook going by below the yard, And no one here but hens blowing about. If he could sell the place, but then, he can't: No one will ever live on it again. It's too run down. This is the last of it. What I think he will do, is let things smash. He'll sort of swear the time away. He's awful! I never saw a man let family troubles Make so much difference in his man's affairs. He's just dropped everything. He's like a child. I blame his being brought up by his mother. He's got hay down that's been rained on three times. He hoed a little yesterday for me: I thought the growing things would do him good. Something went wrong. I saw him throw the hoe Sky-high with both hands. I can see it now- Come here- I'll show you- in that apple tree. That's no way for a man to do at his age: He's fifty-five, you know, if he's a day.' 'Aren't you afraid of him? What's that gun for?' 'Oh, that's been there for hawks since chicken-time. John Hall touch me! Not if he knows his friends. I'll say that for him, John's no threatener Like some men folk. No one's afraid of him; All is, he's made up his mind not to stand What he has got to stand.' 'Where is Estelle? Couldn't one talk to her? What does she say? You say you don't know where she is.' 'Nor want to! She thinks if it was bad to live with him, It must be right to leave him.' 'Which is wrong!' 'Yes, but he should have married her.' 'I know.' 'The strain's been too much for her all these years: I can't explain it any other way. It's different with a man, at least with John: He knows he's kinder than the run of men. Better than married ought to be as good As married- that's what he has always said. I know the way he's felt- but all the same!' 'I wonder why he doesn't marry her And end it.' 'Too late now: she wouldn't have him. He's given her time to think of something else. That's his mistake. The dear knows my interest Has been to keep the thing from breaking up. This is a good home: I don't ask for better. But when I've said, 'Why shouldn't they be married,' He'd say, 'Why should they?' no more words than that.' 'And after all why should they? John's been fair I take it. What was his was always hers. There was no quarrel about property.' 'Reason enough, there was no property. A friend or two as good as own the farm, Such as it is. It isn't worth the mortgage.' 'I mean Estelle has always held the purse.' 'The rights of that are harder to get at. I guess Estelle and I have filled the purse. 'Twas we let him have money, not he us. John's a bad farmer. I'm not blaming him. Take it year in, year out, he doesn't make much. We came here for a home for me, you know, Estelle to do the housework for the board Of both of us. But look how it turns out: She seems to have the housework, and besides, Half of the outdoor work, though as for that, He'd say she does it more because she likes it. You see our pretty things are all outdoors. Our hens and cows and pigs are always better Than folks like us have any business with. Farmers around twice as well off as we Haven't as good. They don't go with the farm. One thing you can't help liking about John, He's fond of nice things- too fond, some would say. But Estelle don't complain: she's like him there. She wants our hens to be the best there are. You never saw this room before a show, Full of lank, shivery, half-drowned birds In separate coops, having their plumage done. The smell of the wet feathers in the heat! You spoke of John's not being safe to stay with. You don't know what a gentle lot we are: We wouldn't hurt a hen! You ought to see us Moving a flock of hens from place to place. We're not allowed to take them upside down, All we can hold together by the legs. Two at a time's the rule, one on each arm, No matter how far and how many times We have to go.' 'You mean that's John's idea.' 'And we live up to it; or I don't know What childishness he wouldn't give way to. He manages to keep the upper hand On his own farm. He's boss. But as to hens: We fence our flowers in and the hens range. Nothing's too good for them. We say it pays. John likes to tell the offers he has had, Twenty for this cock, twenty-five for that. He never takes the money. If they're worth That much to sell, they're worth as much to keep. Bless you, it's all expense, though. Reach me down The little tin box on the cupboard shelf, The upper shelf, the tin box. That's the one. I'll show you. Here you are.' 'What's this?' 'A bill- For fifty dollars for one Langshang cock- Receipted. And the cock is in the yard.' 'Not in a glass case, then?' 'He'd need a tall one: He can eat off a barrel from the ground. He's been in a glass case, as you may say, The Crystal Palace, London. He's imported. John bought him, and we paid the bill with beads- Wampum, I call it. Mind, we don't complain. But you see, don't you, we take care of him.' 'And like it, too. It makes it all the worse.' 'It seems as if. And that's not all: he's helpless In ways that I can hardly tell you of. Sometimes he gets possessed to keep accounts To see where all the money goes so fast. You know how men will be ridiculous. But it's just fun the way he gets bedeviled- If he's untidy now, what will he be- - ? 'It makes it all the worse. You must be blind.' 'Estelle's the one. You needn't talk to me.' 'Can't you and I get to the root of it? What's the real trouble? What will satisfy her?' 'It's as I say: she's turned from him, that's all.' 'But why, when she's well off? Is it the neighbours, Being cut off from friends?' 'We have our friends. That isn't it. Folks aren't afraid of us.' 'She's let it worry her. You stood the strain, And you're her mother.' 'But I didn't always. I didn't relish it along at first. But I got wonted to it. And besides- John said I was too old to have grandchildren. But what's the use of talking when it's done? She won't come back- it's worse than that- she can't.' 'Why do you speak like that? What do you know? What do you mean?- she's done harm to herself?' 'I mean she's married- married someone else.' 'Oho, oho!' 'You don't believe me.' 'Yes, I do, Only too well. I knew there must be something! So that was what was back. She's bad, that's all!' 'Bad to get married when she had the chance?' 'Nonsense! See what's she done! But who, who- - ' 'Who'd marry her straight out of such a mess? Say it right out- no matter for her mother. The man was found. I'd better name no names. John himself won't imagine who he is.' 'Then it's all up. I think I'll get away. You'll be expecting John. I pity Estelle; I suppose she deserves some pity, too. You ought to have the kitchen to yourself To break it to him. You may have the job.' 'You needn't think you're going to get away. John's almost here. I've had my eye on someone Coming down Ryan's Hill. I thought 'twas him. Here he is now. This box! Put it away. And this bill.' 'What's the hurry? He'll unhitch.' 'No, he won't, either. He'll just drop the reins And turn Doll out to pasture, rig and all. She won't get far before the wheels hang up On something- there's no harm. See, there he is! My, but he looks as if he must have heard!' John threw the door wide but he didn't enter.'How are you, neighbour? Just the man I'm after. Isn't it Hell,' he said. 'I want to know. Come out here if you want to hear me talk. I'll talk to you, old woman, afterward. I've got some news that maybe isn't news. What are they trying to do to me, these two?'

And those of the name Stark gathered in Bow, A rock-strewn town where farming has fallen off, And sprout-lands flourish where the axe has gone. Someone had literally run to earth In an old cellar hole in a by-road The origin of all the family there. Thence they were sprung, so numerous a tribe That now not all the houses left in town Made shift to shelter them without the help Of here and there a tent in grove and orchard. They were at Bow, but that was not enough: Nothing would do but they must fix a day To stand together on the crater's verge That turned them on the world, and try to fathom The past and get some strangeness out of it. But rain spoiled all. The day began uncertain, With clouds low trailing and moments of rain that misted. The young folk held some hope out to each other Till well toward noon when the storm settled down With a swish in the grass. 'What if the others Are there,' they said. 'It isn't going to rain.' Only one from a farm not far away Strolled thither, not expecting he would find Anyone else, but out of idleness. One, and one other, yes, for there were two. The second round the curving hillside road Was a girl; and she halted some way off To reconnoitre, and then made up her mind At least to pass by and see who he was, And perhaps hear some word about the weather. This was some Stark she didn't know. He nodded. 'No fête to-day,' he said. 'It looks that way.' She swept the heavens, turning on her heel. 'I only idled down.' 'I idled down.' Provision there had been for just such meeting Of stranger cousins, in a family tree Drawn on a sort of passport with the branch Of the one bearing it done in detail- Some zealous one's laborious device. She made a sudden movement toward her bodice, As one who clasps her heart. They laughed together. 'Stark?' he inquired. 'No matter for the proof.' 'Yes, Stark. And you?' 'I'm Stark.' He drew his passport. 'You know we might not be and still be cousins: The town is full of Chases, Lowes, and Baileys, All claiming some priority in Starkness. My mother was a Lane, yet might have married Anyone upon earth and still her children Would have been Starks, and doubtless here to-day.' 'You riddle with your genealogy Like a Viola. I don't follow you.' 'I only mean my mother was a Stark Several times over, and by marrying father No more than brought us back into the name.' 'One ought not to be thrown into confusion By a plain statement of relationship, But I own what you say makes my head spin. You take my card- you seem so good at such things- And see if you can reckon our cousinship. Why not take seats here on the cellar wall And dangle feet among the raspberry vines?' 'Under the shelter of the family tree.' 'Just so- that ought to be enough protection.' 'Not from the rain. I think it's going to rain.' 'It's raining.' 'No, it's misting; let's be fair. Does the rain seem to you to cool the eyes?' The situation was like this: the road Bowed outward on the mountain half-way up, And disappeared and ended not far off. No one went home that way. The only house Beyond where they were was a shattered seedpod. And below roared a brook hidden in trees, The sound of which was silence for the place. This he sat listening to till she gave judgment. 'On father's side, it seems, we're- let me see- - ' 'Don't be too technical.- You have three cards.' 'Four cards, one yours, three mine, one for each branch Of the Stark family I'm a member of.' 'D'you know a person so related to herself Is supposed to be mad.' 'I may be mad.' 'You look so, sitting out here in the rain Studying genealogy with me You never saw before. What will we come to With all this pride of ancestry, we Yankees? I think we're all mad. Tell me why we're here Drawn into town about this cellar hole Like wild geese on a lake before a storm? What do we see in such a hole, I wonder.' 'The Indians had a myth of Chicamoztoc, Which means The Seven Caves that We Came out of. This is the pit from which we Starks were digged.' 'You must be learned. That's what you see in it?' 'And what do you see?' 'Yes, what do I see? First let me look. I see raspberry vines- - ' 'Oh, if you're going to use your eyes, just hear What I see. It's a little, little boy, As pale and dim as a match flame in the sun; He's groping in the cellar after jam, He thinks it's dark and it's flooded with daylight.' 'He's nothing. Listen. When I lean like this I can make out old Grandsir Stark distinctly,- With his pipe in his mouth and his brown jug- Bless you, it isn't Grandsir Stark, it's Granny, But the pipe's there and smoking and the jug. She's after cider, the old girl, she's thirsty; Here's hoping she gets her drink and gets out safely.' 'Tell me about her. Does she look like me?' 'She should, shouldn't she, you're so many times Over descended from her. I believe She does look like you. Stay the way you are. The nose is just the same, and so's the chin- Making allowance, making due allowance.' 'You poor, dear, great, great, great, great Granny!' 'See that you get her greatness right. Don't stint her.' 'Yes, it's important, though you think it isn't. I won't be teased. But see how wet I am.' 'Yes, you must go; we can't stay here for ever. But wait until I give you a hand up. A bead of silver water more or less Strung on your hair won't hurt your summer looks. I wanted to try something with the noise That the brook raises in the empty valley. We have seen visions- now consult the voices. Something I must have learned riding in trains When I was young. I used the roar To set the voices speaking out of it, Speaking or singing, and the band-music playing. Perhaps you have the art of what I mean. I've never listened in among the sounds That a brook makes in such a wild descent. It ought to give a purer oracle.' 'It's as you throw a picture on a screen: The meaning of it all is out of you; The voices give you what you wish to hear.' 'Strangely, it's anything they wish to give.' 'Then I don't know. It must be strange enough. I wonder if it's not your make-believe. What do you think you're like to hear to-day?' 'From the sense of our having been together- But why take time for what I'm like to hear? I'll tell you what the voices really say. You will do very well right where you are A little longer. I mustn't feel too hurried, Or I can't give myself to hear the voices.' 'Is this some trance you are withdrawing into?' 'You must be very still; you mustn't talk.' 'I'll hardly breathe.' 'The voices seem to say- - ' 'I'm waiting.' 'Don't! The voices seem to say: Call her Nausicaa, the unafraid Of an acquaintance made adventurously.' 'I let you say that- on consideration.' 'I don't see very well how you can help it. You want the truth. I speak but by the voices. You see they know I haven't had your name, Though what a name should matter between us- - ' 'I shall suspect- - ' 'Be good. The voices say: Call her Nausicaa, and take a timber That you shall find lies in the cellar charred Among the raspberries, and hew and shape it For a door-sill or other corner piece In a new cottage on the ancient spot. The life is not yet all gone out of it. And come and make your summer dwelling here, And perhaps she will come, still unafraid, And sit before you in the open door With flowers in her lap until they fade, But not come in across the sacred sill- - ' 'I wonder where your oracle is tending. You can see that there's something wrong with it, Or it would speak in dialect. Whose voice Does it purport to speak in? Not old Grandsir's Nor Granny's, surely. Call up one of them. They have best right to be heard in this place.' 'You seem so partial to our great-grandmother (Nine times removed. Correct me if I err.) You will be likely to regard as sacred Anything she may say.

The grape may not be gathered from the birch?It's all you know the grape, or know the birch.As a girl gathered from the birch myselfEqually with my weight in grapes, one autumn,I ought to know what tree the grape is fruit of.I was born, I suppose, like anyone,And grew to be a little boyish girlMy brother could not always leave at home.But that beginning was wiped out in fearThe day I swung suspended with the grapes,And was come after like EurydiceAnd brought down safely from the upper regions;And the life I live now's an extra lifeI can waste as I please on whom I please.So if you see me celebrate two birthdays,And give myself out of two different ages,One of them five years younger than I look-One day my brother led me to a gladeWhere a white birch he knew of stood alone,Wearing a thin head-dress of pointed leaves,And heavy on her heavy hair behind,Against her neck, an ornament of grapes.Grapes, I knew grapes from having seen them last year.One bunch of them, and there began to beBunches all round me growing in white birches,The way they grew round Leif the Lucky's German;Mostly as much beyond my lifted hands, though,As the moon used to seem when I was younger,And only freely to be had for climbing.My brother did the climbing; and at firstThrew me down grapes to miss and scatterAnd have to hunt for in sweet fern and hardhack;Which gave him some time to himself to eat,But not so much, perhaps, as a boy needed.So then, to make me wholly self-supporting,He climbed still higher and bent the tree to earthAnd put it in my hands to pick my own grapes.'Here, take a tree-top, I'll get down another.Hold on with all your might when I let go.'I said I had the tree. It wasn't true.The opposite was true. The tree had me.The minute it was left with me aloneIt caught me up as if I were the fishAnd it the fishpole. So I was translatedTo loud cries from my brother of 'Let go!Don't you know anything, you girl? Let go!'But I, with something of the baby gripAcquired ancestrally in just such treesWhen wilder mothers than our wildest nowHung babies out on branches by the handsTo dry or wash or tan, I don't know which,(You'll have to ask an evolutionist)-I held on uncomplainingly for life.My brother tried to make me laugh to help me.'What are you doing up there in those grapes?Don't be afraid. A few of them won't hurt you.I mean, they won't pick you if you don't them.'Much danger of my picking anything!By that time I was pretty well reducedTo a philosophy of hang-and-let-hang.'Now you know how it feels,' my brother said,'To be a bunch of fox-grapes, as they call them,That when it thinks it has escaped the foxBy growing where it shouldn't-on a birch,Where a fox wouldn't think to look for it-And if he looked and found it, couldn't reach it-Just then come you and I to gather it.Only you have the advantage of the grapesIn one way: you have one more stem to cling by,And promise more resistance to the picker.'One by one I lost off my hat and shoes,And still I clung. I let my head fall back,And shut my eyes against the sun, my earsAgainst my brother's nonsense; 'Drop,' he said,'I'll catch you in my arms. It isn't far.'(Stated in lengths of him it might not be.)'Drop or I'll shake the tree and shake you down.'Grim silence on my part as I sank lower,My small wrists stretching till they showed the banjo strings.'Why, if she isn't serious about it!Hold tight awhile till I think what to do.I'll bend the tree down and let you down by it.'I don't know much about the letting down;But once I felt ground with my stocking feetAnd the world came revolving back to me,I know I looked long at my curled-up fingers,Before I straightened them and brushed the bark off.My brother said: 'Don't you weigh anything?Try to weigh something next time, so you won'tBe run off with by birch trees into space.'It wasn't my not weighing anythingSo much as my not knowing anything-My brother had been nearer right before.I had not taken the first step in knowledge;I had not learned to let go with the hands,As still I have not learned to with the heart,And have no wish to with the heart-nor need,That I can see. The mind-is not the heart.I may yet live, as I know others live,To wish in vain to let go with the mind-Of cares, at night, to sleep; but nothing tells meThat I need learn to let go with the heart."", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""7"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 7, ""poem.id"": 7, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-01 03:43:11"", ""poem.title"": ""The Egg and the Machine"", ""poem.date"": ""3/11/2016"", ""poem.content"": ""He gave the solid rail a hateful kick.From far away there came an answering tickAnd then another tick.

Double trouble'sAlways the witch's motto anyway.I'll double theirs for both of them- you watch me.They'll find they've got the whole thing to do over,That is, if facts is what they want to go by.They set a lot (now don't they?) by a recordOf Arthur Amy's having once been upFor Hog Reeve in March Meeting here in Warren.I could have told them any time this twelvemonthThe Arthur Amy I was married toCouldn't have been the one they say was upIn Warren at March Meeting for the reasonHe wa'n't but fifteen at the time they say.The Arthur Amy I was married tovoted the only times he ever voted,Which wasn't many, in the town of Wentworth.One of the times was when 'twas in the warrantTo see if the town wanted to take overThe tote road to our clearing where we lived.I'll tell you who'd remember- Heman Lapish.Their Arthur Amy was the father of mine.So now they've dragged it through the law courts onceI guess they'd better drag it through again.Wentworth and Warren's both good towns to live in,Only I happen to prefer to liveIn Wentworth from now on; and when all's said,Right's right, and the temptation to do rightWhen I can hurt someone by doing itHas always been too much for me, it has.I know of some folks that'd be set upAt having in their town a noted witch:But most would have to think of the expenseThat even I would be. They ought to knowThat as a witch I'd often milk a batAnd that'd be enough to last for days.It'd make my position stronger, I think,If I was to consent to give some signTo make it surer that I was a witch?It wa'n't no sign, I s'pose, when Mallice HuseSaid that I took him out in his old ageAnd rode all over everything on himUntil I'd had him worn to skin and bones,And if I'd left him hitched unblanketedIn front of one Town Hall, I'd left him hitchedIn front of every one in Grafton County.Some cried shame on me not to blanket him,The poor old man. It would have been all rightIf some one hadn't said to gnaw the postsHe stood beside and leave his trade mark on them,So they could recognize them. Not a postThat they could hear tell of was scarified.They made him keep on gnawing till he whined.Then that same smarty someone said to look- He'd bet Huse was a cribber and had gnawedThe crib he slept in- and as sure's you're bornThey found he'd gnawed the four posts of his bed,All four of them to splinters. What did that prove?Not that he hadn't gnawed the hitching postsHe said he had besides. Because a horseGnaws in the stable ain't no proof to meHe don't gnaw trees and posts and fences too.But everybody took it for proof.I was a strapping girl of twenty then.The smarty someone who spoiled everythingWas Arthur Amy. You know who he was.That was the way he started courting me.He never said much after we were married,But I mistrusted he was none too proudOf having interfered in the Huse business.I guess he found he got more out of meBy having me a witch. Or something happenedTo turn him round. He got to saying thingsTo undo what he'd done and make it right,Like, 'No, she ain't come back from kiting yet.Last night was one of her nights out. She's kiting.She thinks when the wind makes a night of itShe might as well herself.'

I don't suppose the workMuch matters. You may work for all of me.I've seen the time I've had to work myself.The having anything to sell is whatIs the disgrace in man or state or nation.I met a traveler from ArkansasWho boasted of his state as beautifulFor diamonds and apples. 'DiamondsAnd apples in commercial quantities?'I asked him, on my guard. 'Oh, yes,' he answered,Off his. The time was evening in the Pullman.I see the porter's made your bed,' I told him.I met a Californian who wouldTalk California—a state so blessed,He said, in climate, none bad ever died thereA natural death, and Vigilance CommitteesHad had to organize to stock the graveyardsAnd vindicate the state's humanity.'Just the way Stefansson runs on,' I murmured,'About the British Arctic. That's what comesOf being in the market with a climate.'I met a poet from another state,A zealot full of fluid inspiration,Who in the name of fluid inspiration,But in the best style of bad salesmanship,Angrily tried to male me write a protest(In verse I think) against the Volstead Act.He didn't even offer me a drinkUntil I asked for one to steady him.This is called having an idea to sell.It never could have happened in New Hampshire.The only person really soiled with tradeI ever stumbled on in old New HampshireWas someone who had just come back ashamedFrom selling things in California.He'd built a noble mansard roof with ballsOn turrets, like Constantinople, deepIn woods some ten miles from a railroad station,As if to put forever out of mindThe hope of being, as we say, received.I found him standing at the close of dayInside the threshold of his open barn,Like a lone actor on a gloomy stage—And recognized him, through the iron grayIn which his face was muffled to the eyes,As an old boyhood friend, and once indeedA drover with me on the road to Brighton.His farm was 'grounds,' and not a farm at all;His house among the local sheds and shantiesRose like a factor's at a trading station.And be was rich, and I was still a rascal.I couldn't keep from asking impolitely,Where bad he been and what had he been doing?How did he get so? (Rich was understood.)In dealing in 'old rags' in San Francisco.Ob, it was terrible as well could be.We both of us turned over in our graves.Just specimens is all New Hampshire has,One each of everything as in a showcase,Which naturally she doesn't care to sell.She had one President. (Pronounce him Purse,And make the most of it for better or worse.He's your one chance to score against the state.)She had one Daniel Webster. He was allThe Daniel Webster ever was or shall be.She had the Dartmouth' needed to produce him.I call her old. She has one familyWhose claim is good to being settled hereBefore the era of colonization,And before that of exploration even.John Smith remarked them as be coasted by,Dangling their legs and fishing off a wharfAt the Isles of Shoals, and satisfied himselfThey weren't Red Indians but veritablePre-primitives of the white race, dawn people,Like those who furnished Adam's sons with wives;However uninnocent they may have beenIn being there so early in our history.They'd been there then a hundred years or more.Pity he didn't ask what they were up toAt that date with a wharf already built,And take their name. They've since told me their name—Today an honored one in Nottingham.As for what they were up to more than fishing—Suppose they weren't behaving Puritanly,The hour bad not yet struck for being good,Mankind had not yet gone on the Sabbatical.It became an explorer of the deepNot to explore too deep in others' business.Did you but know of him, New Hampshire hasOne real reformer who would change the worldSo it would be accepted by two classes,Artists the minute they set up as artists,Before, that is, they are themselves accepted,And boys the minute they get out of college.I can't help thinking those are tests to go by.And she has one I don't know what to call him,Who comes from Philadelphia every yearWith a great flock of chickens of rare breedsHe wants to give the educationalAdvantages of growing almost wildUnder the watchful eye of hawk and eagle Dorkings because they're spoken of by Chaucer,Sussex because they're spoken of by Herrick.She has a touch of gold. New Hampshire gold—You may have heard of it. I had a farmOffered me not long since up Berlin wayWith a mine on it that was worked for gold;But not gold in commercial quantities,Just enough gold to make the engagement ringsAnd marriage rings of those who owned the farm.What gold more innocent could one have asked for?One of my children ranging after rocksLately brought home from Andover or CanaanA specimen of beryl with a traceOf radium. I know with radiumThe trace would have to be the merest trace To be below the threshold of commercial;But trust New Hampshire not to have enoughOf radium or anything to sell.A specimen of everything, I said.She has one witch—old style. She lives in Colebrook.(The only other witch I ever metWas lately at a cut-glass dinner in Boston.There were four candles and four people present.The witch was young, and beautiful (new style),And open-minded. She was free to questionHer gift for reading letters locked in boxes.Why was it so much greater when the boxesWere metal than it was when they were wooden?It made the world seem so mysterious.The S'ciety for Psychical ResearchWas cognizant. Her husband was worth millions.I think he owned some shares in Harvard College.)New Hampshire used to have at SalemA company we called the White Corpuscles,Whose duty was at any hour of nightTo rush in sheets and fool's caps where they smelledA thing the least bit doubtfully perscentedAnd give someone the Skipper Ireson's Ride.One each of everything as in a showcase.More than enough land for a specimenYou'll say she has, but there there enters inSomething else to protect her from herself.There quality makes up for quantity.Not even New Hampshire farms are much for sale.The farm I made my home on in the mountains 1 had to take by force rather than buy.I caught the owner outdoors by himselfRaking.up after winter, and I said,\"I'm going to put you off this farm: I want it.'\"Where are you going to put me? In the road?\"\"I'm going to put you on the farm next to it.\"\"Why won't the farm next to it do for you?''I like this better.' It was really better.Apples? New Hampshire has them, but unsprayed,With no suspicion in stern end or blossom end Of vitriol or arsenate of lead,And so not good for anything but cider.Her unpruned grapes are flung like lariatsFar up the birches out of reach of man.A state producing precious metals, stones,And—writing; none of these except perhapsThe precious literature in quantityOr quality to worry the producerAbout disposing of it. Do you know,Considering the market, there are morePoems produced than any other thing?No wonder poets sometimes have to seemSo much more businesslike than businessmen.Their wares are so much harder to get rid of.She's one of the two best states in the Union.Vermont's the other. And the two have beenYokefellows in the sap yoke from of oldIn many Marches. And they lie like wedges,Thick end to thin end and thin end to thick end,And are a figure of the way the strongOf mind and strong of arm should fit together,One thick where one is thin and vice versa.New Hampshire raises the Connecticut In a trout hatchery near Canada,But soon divides the river with Vermont.Both are delightful states for their absurdlySmall towns—Lost Nation, Bungey, Muddy Boo,Poplin, Still Corners (so called not becauseThe place is silent all day long, nor yetBecause it boasts a whisky still—becauseIt set out once to be a city and stillIs only corners, crossroads in a wood).And I remember one whose name appearedBetween the pictures on a movie screenElection night once in Franconia,When everything had gone RepublicanAnd Democrats were sore in need of comfort:Easton goes Democratic, Wilson 4Hughes 2. And everybody to the saddestLaughed the loud laugh the big laugh at the little.New York (five million) laughs at Manchester,Manchester (sixty or seventy thousand) laughsAt Littleton (four thousand), LittletonLaughs at Franconia (seven hundred), andFranconia laughs, I fear—-did laugh that night­- At Easton. What has Easton left to laugh at,And like the actress exclaim 'Oh, my God' at?There's Bungey; and for Bungey there are towns,Whole townships named but without population.Anything I can say about New HampshireWill serve almost as well about Vermont,Excepting that they differ in their mountains.The Vermont mountains stretch extended straight;New Hampshire mountains Curl up in a coil.I had been coming to New Hampshire mountains.And here I am and what am I to say?Here first my theme becomes embarrassing.Emerson said, 'The God who made New HampshireTaunted the lofty land with little men.'Anotner Massachusetts poet said, 'I go no more to summer in New Hampshire.I've given up my summer place in Dublin.'But when I asked to know what ailed New Hampshire,She said she couldn't stand the people in it,The little men (it's Massachusetts speaking). And when I asked to know what ailed the people,She said, 'Go read your own books and find out.'I may as well confess myself the authorOf several books against the world in general.To take them as against a special state Or even nation's to restrict my meaning.I'm what is called a sensibilitist,Or otherwise an environmentalist.I refuse to adapt myself a miteTo any change from hot to cold, from wet To dry, from poor to rich, or back again.I make a virtue of my sufferingFrom nearly everything that goes on round me.In other words, I know wherever I am,Being the creature of literature I am, 1 sball not lack for pain to keep me awake.Kit Marlowe taught me how to say my prayers:'Why, this is Hell, nor am I out of it.'Samoa, Russia, Ireland I complain of,No less than England, France, and Italy. Because I wrote my novels in New HampshireIs no proof that I aimed them at New Hampshire.When I left Massachusetts years agoBetween two days, the reason why I soughtNew Hampshire, not Connecticut,Rhode Island, New York, or Vermont was this:Where I was living then, New Hampshire offeredThe nearest boundary to escape across.I hadn't an illusion in my handbagAbout the people being better thereThan those I left behind. I thought they weren't.I thought they couldn't be. And yet they were.I'd sure had no such friends in MassachusettsAs Hall of Windham, Gay of Atkinson,Bartlett of Raymond (now of Colorado),Harris of Derry, and Lynch of Bethlehem.The glorious bards of Massachusetts seemTo want to make New Hampshire people over.They taunt the lofty land with little men.I don't know what to say about the people.For art's sake one could almost wish them worseRather than better. How are we to writeThe Russian novel in AmericaAs long as life goes so unterribly?There is the pinch from which our only outcry In literature to date is heard to come.We get what little misery we canOut of not having cause for misery.It makes the guild of novel writers sickTo be expected to be DostoievskisOn nothing worse than too much luck and comfort.This is not sorrow, though; it's just the vapors,And recognized as such in Russia itselfUnder the new regime, and so forbidden.If well it is with Russia, then feel free To say so or be stood against the wallAnd shot. It's Pollyanna now or death.This, then, is the new freedom we hear tell of;And very sensible. No state can buildA literature that shall at once be soundAnd sad on a foundation of well-being.To show the level of intelligenceAmong us: it was just a Warren farmerWhose horse had pulled him short up in the roadBy me, a stranger. This is what he said,From nothing but embarrassment and wantOf anything more sociable to say:'You hear those bound dogs sing on Moosilauke?Well, they remind me of the hue and cryWe've heard against the Mid - Victorians And never rightly understood till BryanRetired from politics and joined the chorus.The matter with the Mid-VictoriansSeems to have been a man named Joh n L. Darwin.''Go 'long,' I said to him, he to his horse.I knew a man who failing as a farmerBurned down his farmhouse for the fire insurance,And spent the proceeds on a telescopeTo satisfy a lifelong curiosityAbout our place among the infinities.And how was that for otherworldliness?If I must choose which I would elevate —The people or the already lofty mountainsI'd elevate the already lofty mountainsThe only fault I find with old New Hampshire Is that her mountains aren't quite high enough.I was not always so; I've come to be so.How, to my sorrow, how have I attainedA height from which to look down criticalOn mountains? What has given me assuranceTo say what height becomes New Hampshire mountains,Or any mountains? Can it be some strengthI feel, as of an earthquake in my back,To heave them higher to the morning star?Can it be foreign travel in the Alps?Or having seen and credited a momentThe solid molding of vast peaks of cloudBehind the pitiful realityOf Lincoln, Lafayette, and Liberty?Or some such sense as says bow high shall jetThe fountain in proportion to the basin?No, none of these has raised me to my throneOf intellectual dissatisfaction,But the sad accident of having seenOur actual mountains given in a mapOf early times as twice the height they are—Ten thousand feet instead of only five—Which shows how sad an accident may be.Five thousand is no longer high enough.Whereas I never had a good ideaAbout improving people in the world,Here I am overfertile in suggestion,And cannot rest from planning day or nightHow high I'd thrust the peaks in summer snowTo tap the upper sky and draw a flowOf frosty night air on the vale belowDown from the stars to freeze the dew as starry.The more the sensibilitist I amThe more I seem to want my mountains wild;The way the wiry gang-boss liked the logjam. After he'd picked the lock and got it started,He dodged a log that lifted like an armAgainst the sky to break his back for him,Then came in dancing, skipping with his lifeAcross the roar and chaos, and the words We saw him say along the zigzag journeyWere doubtless as the words we heard him sayOn coming nearer: 'Wasn't she an i-dealSon-of-a-bitch? You bet she was an i-deal.'For all her mountains fall a little short,Her people not quite short enough for Art,She's still New Hampshire; a most restful state.Lately in converse with a New York alecAbout the new school of the pseudo-phallic,I found myself in a close corner whereI bad to make an almost funny choice.'Choose you which you will be—a prude, or puke,Mewling and puking in the public arms.''Me for the hills where I don't have to choose.\"'But if you bad to choose, which would you be?' 1 wouldn't be a prude afraid of nature.I know a man who took a double axAnd went alone against a grove of trees;But his heart failing him, he dropped the axAnd ran for shelter quoting Matthew Arnold:''Nature is cruel, man is sick of blood':There s been enough shed without shedding mine.Remember Birnam Wood! The wood's in flux!'He had a special terror of the fluxThat showed itself in dendrophobia.The only decent tree had been to millAnd educated into boards, be said.He knew too well for any earthly useThe line where man leaves off and nature starts.And never overstepped it save in dreams.He stood on the safe side of the line talking—Which is sheer Matthew Arnoldism,The cult of one who owned himself 'a foiledCircuitous wanderer,' and 'took dejectedlyHis seat upon the intellectual throne'—Agreed in 'frowning on these improvisedAltars the woods are full of nowadays,Again as in the days when Ahaz sinnedBy worship under green trees in the open.Scarcely a mile but that I come on one,A black-checked stone and stick of rain-washed charcoal.Even to say the groves were God's first templesComes too near to Ahaz' sin for safety.Nothing not built with hands of course is sacred.But here is not a question of what's sacred;Rather of what to face or run away from.I'd hate to be a runaway from nature.And neither would I choose to be a pukeWho cares not what be does in company,And when he can't do anything, falls backOn words, and tries his worst to make words speakLouder than actions, and sometimes achieves it.It seems a narrow choice the age insists on8ow about being a good Greek, for instance)That course, they tell me, isn't offered this year.'Come, but this isn't choosing—puke or prude?'Well, if I have to choose one or the other,I choose to be a plain New Hampshire farmerWith an income in cash of, say, a thousand(From, say, a publisher in New York City).

He pointed backwardOver his shoulder with his pipe-stem, saying,'You can just see it glancing off the roofMaking a great scroll upward toward the sky,Long enough for recording all our names on.-I think I'll just call up my wife and tell herI'm here-so far-and starting on again.I'll call her softly so that if she's wiseAnd gone to sleep, she needn't wake to answer.'Three times he barely stirred the bell, then listened.'Why, Lett, still up? Lett, I'm at Cole's. I'm late.I called you up to say Good-night from hereBefore I went to say Good-morning there.-I thought I would.- I know, but, Lett-I know-I could, but what's the sense? The rest won't beSo bad.- Give me an hour for it.- Ho, ho,Three hours to here! But that was all up hill;The rest is down.- Why no, no, not a wallow:They kept their heads and took their time to itLike darlings, both of them. They're in the barn.-My dear, I'm coming just the same. I didn'tCall you to ask you to invite me home.-'He lingered for some word she wouldn't say,Said it at last himself, 'Good-night,' and then,Getting no answer, closed the telephone.The three stood in the lamplight round the tableWith lowered eyes a moment till he said,'I'll just see how the horses are.''Yes, do,'Both the Coles said together. Mrs. ColeAdded: 'You can judge better after seeing.-I want you here with me, Fred. Leave him here,Brother Meserve. You know to find your wayOut through the shed.''I guess I know my way,I guess I know where I can find my nameCarved in the shed to tell me who I amIf it don't tell me where I am. I usedTo play-''You tend your horses and come back.Fred Cole, you're going to let him!''Well, aren't you?How can you help yourself?''I called him Brother.Why did I call him that?''It's right enough.That's all you ever heard him called round here.He seems to have lost off his Christian name.''Christian enough I should call that myself.He took no notice, did he? Well, at leastI didn't use it out of love of him,The dear knows. I detest the thought of himWith his ten children under ten years old.I hate his wretched little Racker Sect,All's ever I heard of it, which isn't much.But that's not saying-Look, Fred Cole, it's twelve,Isn't it, now? He's been here half an hour.He says he left the village store at nine.Three hours to do four miles-a mile an hourOr not much better. Why, it doesn't seemAs if a man could move that slow and move.Try to think what he did with all that time.And three miles more to go!''Don't let him go.Stick to him, Helen. Make him answer you.That sort of man talks straight on all his lifeFrom the last thing he said himself, stone deafTo anything anyone else may say.I should have thought, though, you could make him hear you.''What is he doing out a night like this?Why can't he stay at home?''He had to preach.''It's no night to be out.''He may be small,He may be good, but one thing's sure, he's tough.''And strong of stale tobacco.''He'll pull through.''You only say so. Not another houseOr shelter to put into from this placeTo theirs. I'm going to call his wife again.''Wait and he may. Let's see what he will do.Let's see if he will think of her again.But then I doubt he's thinking of himselfHe doesn't look on it as anything.''He shan't go-there!''It is a night, my dear.''One thing: he didn't drag God into it.''He don't consider it a case for God.''You think so, do you? You don't know the kind.He's getting up a miracle this minute.Privately-to himself, right now, he's thinkingHe'll make a case of it if he succeeds,But keep still if he fails.''Keep still all over.He'll be dead-dead and buried.''Such a trouble!Not but I've every reason not to careWhat happens to him if it only takesSome of the sanctimonious conceitOut of one of those pious scalawags.''Nonsense to that! You want to see him safe.''You like the runt.''Don't you a little?''Well,I don't like what he's doing, which is whatYou like, and like him for.''Oh, yes you do.You like your fun as well as anyone;Only you women have to put these airs onTo impress men. You've got us so ashamedOf being men we can't look at a good fightBetween two boys and not feel bound to stop it.Let the man freeze an ear or two, I say.-He's here. I leave him all to you. Go inAnd save his life.- All right, come in, Meserve.Sit down, sit down. How did you find the horses?''Fine, fine.''And ready for some more? My wife hereSays it won't do. You've got to give it up.''Won't you to please me? Please! If I say please?Mr. Meserve, I'll leave it to your wife.What did your wife say on the telephone?'Meserve seemed to heed nothing but the lampOr something not far from it on the table.By straightening out and lifting a forefinger,He pointed with his hand from where it layLike a white crumpled spider on his knee:'That leaf there in your open book! It movedJust then, I thought. It's stood erect like that,There on the table, ever since I came,Trying to turn itself backward or forward,I've had my eye on it to make out which;If forward, then it's with a friend's impatience-You see I know-to get you on to thingsIt wants to see how you will take, if backwardIt's from regret for something you have passedAnd failed to see the good of. Never mind,Things must expect to come in front of usA many times-I don't say just how many-That varies with the things-before we see them.One of the lies would make it out that nothingEver presents itself before us twice.Where would we be at last if that were so?Our very life depends on everything'sRecurring till we answer from within.The thousandth time may prove the charm.- That leaf!It can't turn either way. It needs the wind's help.But the wind didn't move it if it moved.It moved itself. The wind's at naught in here.It couldn't stir so sensitively poisedA thing as that. It couldn't reach the lampTo get a puff of black smoke from the flame,Or blow a rumple in the collie's coat.You make a little foursquare block of air,Quiet and light and warm, in spite of allThe illimitable dark and cold and storm,And by so doing give these three, lamp, dog,And book-leaf, that keep near you, their repose;Though for all anyone can tell, reposeMay be the thing you haven't, yet you give it.So false it is that what we haven't we can't give;So false, that what we always say is true.I'll have to turn the leaf if no one else will.It won't lie down. Then let it stand. Who cares?''I shouldn't want to hurry you, Meserve,But if you're going- Say you'll stay, you know?But let me raise this curtain on a scene,And show you how it's piling up against you.You see the snow-white through the white of frost?Ask Helen how far up the sash it's climbedSince last we read the gage.''It looks as ifSome pallid thing had squashed its features flatAnd its eyes shut with overeagernessTo see what people found so interestingIn one another, and had gone to sleepOf its own stupid lack of understanding,Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuffShort off, and died against the window-pane.''Brother Meserve, take care, you'll scare yourselfMore than you will us with such nightmare talk.It's you it matters to, because it's youWho have to go out into it alone.''Let him talk, Helen, and perhaps he'll stay.''Before you drop the curtain-I'm reminded:You recollect the boy who came out hereTo breathe the air one winter-had a roomDown at the Averys'? Well, one sunny morningAfter a downy storm, he passed our placeAnd found me banking up the house with snow.And I was burrowing in deep for warmth,Piling it well above the window-sills.The snow against the window caught his eye.'Hey, that's a pretty thought'-those were his words.'So you can think it's six feet deep outside,While you sit warm and read up balanced rations.You can't get too much winter in the winter.'Those were his words. And he went home and allBut banked the daylight out of Avery's windows.Now you and I would go to no such length.At the same time you can't deny it makesIt not a mite worse, sitting here, we three,Playing our fancy, to have the snowline runSo high across the pane outside. There whereThere is a sort of tunnel in the frostMore like a tunnel than a hole-way downAt the far end of it you see a stirAnd quiver like the frayed edge of the driftBlown in the wind. I like that-I like that.Well, now I leave you, people.''Come, Meserve,We thought you were deciding not to go-The ways you found to say the praise of comfortAnd being where you are. You want to stay.''I'll own it's cold for such a fall of snow.This house is frozen brittle, all exceptThis room you sit in. If you think the windSounds further off, it's not because it's dying;You're further under in the snow-that's all-And feel it less. Hear the soft bombs of dustIt bursts against us at the chimney mouth,And at the eaves. I like it from insideMore than I shall out in it. But the horsesAre rested and it's time to say good-night,And let you get to bed again. Good-night,Sorry I had to break in on your sleep.''Lucky for you you did. Lucky for youYou had us for a half-way stationTo stop at. If you were the kind of manPaid heed to women, you'd take my adviceAnd for your family's sake stay where you are.But what good is my saying it over and over?You've done more than you had a right to thinkYou could do-now. You know the risk you takeIn going on.''Our snow-storms as a ruleAren't looked on as man-killers, and althoughI'd rather be the beast that sleeps the sleepUnder it all, his door sealed up and lost,Than the man fighting it to keep above it,Yet think of the small birds at roost and notIn nests. Shall I be counted less than they are?Their bulk in water would be frozen rockIn no time out to-night. And yet to-morrowThey will come budding boughs from tree to treeFlirting their wings and saying Chickadee,As if not knowing what you meant by the word storm.''But why when no one wants you to go on?Your wife-she doesn't want you to. We don't,And you yourself don't want to. Who else is there?''Save us from being cornered by a woman.Well, there's'-She told Fred afterward that inThe pause right there, she thought the dreaded wordWas coming, 'God.' But no, he only said'Well, there's-the storm. That says I must go on.That wants me as a war might if it came.Ask any man.'He threw her that as somethingTo last her till he got outside the door.He had Cole with him to the barn to see him off.When Cole returned he found his wife still standingBeside the table near the open book,Not reading it.'Well, what kind of a manDo you call that?' she said.'He had the giftOf words, or is it tongues, I ought to say?''Was ever such a man for seeing likeness?''Or disregarding people's civil questions-What? We've found out in one hour more about himThan we had seeing him pass by in the roadA thousand times. If that's the way he preaches!You didn't think you'd keep him after all.Oh, I'm not blaming you. He didn't leave youMuch say in the matter, and I'm just as gladWe're not in for a night of him. No sleepIf he had stayed. The least thing set him going.It's quiet as an empty church without him.''But how much better off are we as it is?We'll have to sit here till we know he's safe.''Yes, I suppose you'll want to, but I shouldn't.He knows what he can do, or he wouldn't try.Get into bed I say, and get some rest.He won't come back, and if he telephones,It won't be for an hour or two.''Well then- We can't be any help by sitting hereAnd living his fight through with him, I suppose.'- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Cole had been telephoning in the dark.Mrs. Cole's voice came from an inner room:'Did she call you or you call her?''She me.You'd better dress: you won't go back to bed.We must have been asleep: it's three and after.''Had she been ringing long? I'll get my wrapper.I want to speak to her.''All she said was,He hadn't come and had he really started.''She knew he had, poor thing, two hours ago.''He had the shovel. He'll have made a fight.''Why did I ever let him leave this house!''Don't begin that. You did the best you couldTo keep him-though perhaps you didn't quiteConceal a wish to see him show the spunkTo disobey you. Much his wife'll thank you.''Fred, after all I said! You shan't make outThat it was any way but what it was.Did she let on by any word she saidShe didn't thank me?''When I told her 'Gone,''Well then,' she said, and 'Well then'-like a threat.And then her voice came scraping slow: 'Oh, you,Why did you let him go'?''Asked why we let him?You let me there. I'll ask her why she let him.She didn't dare to speak when he was here.Their number's-twenty-one? The thing won't work.Someone's receiver's down. The handle stumbles.The stubborn thing, the way it jars your arm!It's theirs. She's dropped it from her hand and gone.''Try speaking. Say 'Hello'!''Hello. Hello.''What do you hear?''I hear an empty room-You know-it sounds that way. And yes, I hear-I think I hear a clock-and windows rattling.No step though. If she's there she's sitting down.''Shout, she may hear you.''Shouting is no good.''Keep speaking then.''Hello. Hello. Hello.You don't suppose-? She wouldn't go out doors?''I'm half afraid that's just what she might do.''And leave the children?''Wait and call again.You can't hear whether she has left the doorWide open and the wind's blown out the lampAnd the fire's died and the room's dark and cold?''One of two things, either she's gone to bedOr gone out doors.''In which case both are lost.Do you know what she's like? Have you ever met her?It's strange she doesn't want to speak to us.''Fred, see if you can hear what I hear. Come.''A clock maybe.''Don't you hear something else?''Not talking.''No.''Why, yes, I hear-what is it?''What do you say it is?''A baby's crying!Frantic it sounds, though muffled and far off.''Its mother wouldn't let it cry like that,Not if she's there.''What do you make of it?''There's only one thing possible to make,That is, assuming-that she has gone out.Of course she hasn't though.' They both sat downHelpless. 'There's nothing we can do till morning.''Fred, I shan't let you think of going out.''Hold on.' The double bell began to chirp.They started up. Fred took the telephone.'Hello, Meserve. You're there, then!-And your wife?Good! Why I asked-she didn't seem to answer.He says she went to let him in the barn.-We're glad. Oh, say no more about it, man.Drop in and see us when you're passing.''Well,She has him then, though what she wants him forI don't see.''Possibly not for herself.Maybe she only wants him for the children.''The whole to-do seems to have been for nothing.What spoiled our night was to him just his fun.What did he come in for?-To talk and visit?Thought he'd just call to tell us it was snowing.If he thinks he is going to make our houseA halfway coffee house 'twixt town and nowhere- ''I thought you'd feel you'd been too much concerned.''You think you haven't been concerned yourself.''If you mean he was inconsiderateTo rout us out to think for him at midnightAnd then take our advice no more than nothing,Why, I agree with you.

She had made three herself to three of his. The score was even for them, three to three. But come to die she found she cared so much: She thought of children in a burial row; Three children in a burial row were sad. One man's three women in a burial row Somehow made her impatient with the man. And so she said to Laban, \"You have done A good deal right; don't do the last thing wrong. Don't make me lie with those two other women.\" Laban said, No, he would not make her lie With anyone but that she had a mind to, If that was how she felt, of course, he said. She went her way. But Laban having caught This glimpse of lingering person in Eliza, And anxious to make all he could of it With something he remembered in himself, Tried to think how he could exceed his promise, And give good measure to the dead, though thankless. If that was how she felt, he kept repeating. His first thought under pressure was a grave In a new boughten grave plot by herself, Under he didn't care how great a stone: He'd sell a yoke of steers to pay for it. And weren't there special cemetery flowers, That, once grief sets to growing, grief may rest; The flowers will go on with grief awhile, And no one seem neglecting or neglected? A prudent grief will not despise such aids. He thought of evergreen and everlasting. And then he had a thought worth many of these. Somewhere must be the grave of the young boy Who married her for playmate more than helpmate, And sometimes laughed at what it was between them. How would she like to sleep her last with him? Where was his grave? Did Laban know his name? He found the grave a town or two away, The headstone cut with John, Beloved Husband, Beside it room reserved; the say a sister's; A never-married sister's of that husband, Whether Eliza would be welcome there. The dead was bound to silence: ask the sister. So Laban saw the sister, and, saying nothing Of where Eliza wanted not to lie, And who had thought to lay her with her first love, Begged simply for the grave. The sister's face Fell all in wrinkles of responsibility. She wanted to do right. She'd have to think. Laban was old and poor, yet seemed to care; And she was old and poor—but she cared, too. They sat. She cast one dull, old look at him, Then turned him out to go on other errands She said he might attend to in the village, While she made up her mind how much she cared— And how much Laban cared—and why he cared, (She made shrewd eyes to see where he came in.) She'd looked Eliza up her second time, A widow at her second husband's grave, And offered her a home to rest awhile Before she went the poor man's widow's way, Housekeeping for the next man out of wedlock. She and Eliza had been friends through all. Who was she to judge marriage in a world Whose Bible's so confused up in marriage counsel? The sister had not come across this Laban; A decent product of life's ironing-out; She must not keep him waiting. Time would press Between the death day and the funeral day. So when she saw him coming in the street She hurried her decision to be ready To meet him with his answer at the door.

He just disappeared- Nobody knew in what direction,Although it wasn't usually longBefore they beard of him in some new camp,The same Paul at the same old feats of logging.The question everywhere was why should PaulObject to being asked a civil question- A man you could say almost anything toShort of a fighting word. You have the answers.And there was one more not so fair to Paul:That Paul had married a wife not his equal.Paul was ashamed of her. To match a heroShe would have had to be a heroine;Instead of which she was some half-breed squaw.But if the story Murphy told was true,She wasn't anything to be ashamed of.You know Paul could do wonders. Everyone'sHeard how he thrashed the horses on a loadThat wouldn't budge, until they simply stretchedTheir rawhide harness from the load to camp.Paul told the boss the load would be all right,'The sun will bring your load in'- and it did- By shrinking the rawhide to natural length.That's what is called a stretcher. But I guessThe one about his jumping so's to landWith both his feet at once against the ceiling,And then land safely right side up again,Back on the floor, is fact or pretty near fact.Well, this is such a yarn. Paul sawed his wifeOut of a white-pine log. Murphy was thereAnd, as you might say, saw the lady born.Paul worked at anything in lumbering.He'd been bard at it taking boards awayFor- I forget- the last ambitious sawyerTo want to find out if he couldn't pileThe lumber on Paul till Paul begged for mercy.They'd sliced the first slab off a big butt log,And the sawyer had slammed the carriage backTo slam end-on again against the saw teeth.To judge them by the way they caught themselvesWhen they saw what had happened to the log,They must have had a guilty expectationSomething was going to go with their slambanging.Something bad left a broad black streak of greaseOn the new wood the whole length of the logExcept, perhaps, a foot at either end.But when Paul put his finger in the grease,It wasn't grease at all, but a long slot.The log was hollow. They were sawing pine.'First time I ever saw a hollow pine.That comes of having Paul around the place.Take it to bell for me,' the sawyer said.Everyone had to have a look at itAnd tell Paul what he ought to do about it.(They treated it as his.) 'You take a jackknife,And spread the opening, and you've got a dugoutAll dug to go a-fishing in.' To PaulThe hollow looked too sound and clean and emptyEver to have housed birds or beasts or bees.There was no entrance for them to get in by.It looked to him like some new kind of hollowHe thought he'd better take his jackknife to.So after work that evening be came backAnd let enough light into it by cuttingTo see if it was empty. He made out in thereA slender length of pith, or was it pith?It might have been the skin a snake had castAnd left stood up on end inside the treeThe hundred years the tree must have been growing.More cutting and he bad this in both hands,And looking from it to the pond nearby,Paul wondered how it would respond to water.Not a breeze stirred, but just the breath of airHe made in walking slowly to the beachBlew it once off his hands and almost broke it.He laid it at the edge, where it could drink.At the first drink it rustled and grew limp.At the next drink it grew invisible.Paul dragged the shallows for it with his fingers,And thought it must have melted. It was gone.And then beyond the open water, dim with midges,Where the log drive lay pressed against the boom,It slowly rose a person, rose a girl,Her wet hair heavy on her like a helmet,Who, leaning on a log, looked back at Paul.And that made Paul in turn look backTo see if it was anyone behind himThat she was looking at instead of him.(Murphy had been there watching all the time,But from a shed where neither of them could see him.)There was a moment of suspense in birthWhen the girl seemed too waterlogged to live,Before she caught her first breath with a gaspAnd laughed. Then she climbed slowly to her feet,And walked off, talking to herself or Paul,Across the logs like backs of alligators,Paul taking after her around the pond.Next evening Murphy and some other fellowsGot drunk, and tracked the pair up Catamount,From the bare top of which there is a viewTO other hills across a kettle valley.And there, well after dark, let Murphy tell it,They saw Paul and his creature keeping house.It was the only glimpse that anyoneHas had of Paul and her since Murphy saw themFalling in love across the twilight millpond.More than a mile across the wildernessThey sat together halfway up a cliffIn a small niche let into it, the girlBrightly, as if a star played on the place,Paul darkly, like her shadow. All the lightWas from the girl herself, though, not from a star,As was apparent from what happened next.All those great ruffians put their throats together,And let out a loud yell, and threw a bottle,As a brute tribute of respect to beauty.Of course the bottle fell short by a mile,But the shout reached the girl and put her light out.She went out like a firefly, and that was all.So there were witnesses that Paul was marriedAnd not to anyone to be ashamed ofEveryone had been wrong in judging Paul.Murphy told me Paul put on all those airsAbout his wife to keep her to himself.Paul was what's called a terrible possessor.Owning a wife with him meant owning her.She wasn't anybody else's business,Either to praise her or much as name her,And he'd thank people not to think of her.Murphy's idea was that a man like PaulWouldn't be spoken to about a wifeIn any way the world knew how to speak."", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""39"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 39, ""poem.id"": 39, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-01 03:45:37"", ""poem.title"": ""The Door In The Dark"", ""poem.date"": ""1/27/2015"", ""poem.content"": ""In going from room to room in the dark,I reached out blindly to save my face,But neglected, however lightly, to laceMy fingers and close my arms in an arc.A slim door got in past my guard,And hit me a blow in the head so hardI had my native simile jarred.So people and things don't pair any moreWith what they used to pair with before."", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""40"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 40, ""poem.id"": 40, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-01 03:45:41"", ""poem.title"": ""Maple"", ""poem.date"": ""6/24/2015"", ""poem.content"": ""Her teacher's certainty it must be MabelMade Maple first take notice of her name.She asked her father and he told her, 'Maple—Maple is right.''But teacher told the schoolThere's no such name.''Teachers don't know as muchAs fathers about children, you tell teacher.You tell her that it's M-A-P-L-E.You ask her if she knows a maple tree.Well, you were named after a maple tree.Your mother named you.

little further up the mountain side With night so near, but not much further up. They must have halted soon in any case With thoughts of a path back, how rough it was With rock and washout, and unsafe in darkness; When they were halted by a tumbled wall With barbed-wire binding. They stood facing this, Spending what onward impulse they still had In One last look the way they must not go, On up the failing path, where, if a stone Or earthslide moved at night, it moved itself; No footstep moved it. 'This is all,' they sighed, Good-night to woods.' But not so; there was more. A doe from round a spruce stood looking at them Across the wall, as near the wall as they. She saw them in their field, they her in hers. The difficulty of seeing what stood still, Like some up-ended boulder split in two, Was in her clouded eyes; they saw no fear there. She seemed to think that two thus they were safe. Then, as if they were something that, though strange, She could not trouble her mind with too long, She sighed and passed unscared along the wall. 'This, then, is all. What more is there to ask?' But no, not yet. A snort to bid them wait. A buck from round the spruce stood looking at them Across the wall as near the wall as they. This was an antlered buck of lusty nostril, Not the same doe come back into her place. He viewed them quizzically with jerks of head, As if to ask, 'Why don't you make some motion? Or give some sign of life? Because you can't. I doubt if you're as living as you look.\" Thus till he had them almost feeling dared To stretch a proffering hand -- and a spell-breaking. Then he too passed unscared along the wall. Two had seen two, whichever side you spoke from. 'This must be all.' It was all. Still they stood, A great wave from it going over them, As if the earth in one unlooked-for favour Had made them certain earth returned their love."", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14466"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14466, ""poem.id"": 14466, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:31:10"", ""poem.title"": ""Blueberries"", ""poem.date"": ""3/29/2010"", ""poem.content"": ""'You ought to have seen what I saw on my way To the village, through Mortenson's pasture to-day: Blueberries as big as the end of your thumb, Real sky-blue, and heavy, and ready to drum In the cavernous pail of the first one to come! And all ripe together, not some of them green And some of them ripe! You ought to have seen! ' 'I don't know what part of the pasture you mean.' 'You know where they cut off the woods—let me see— It was two years ago—or no! —can it be No longer than that? —and the following fall The fire ran and burned it all up but the wall.' 'Why, there hasn't been time for the bushes to grow. That's always the way with the blueberries, though: There may not have been the ghost of a sign Of them anywhere under the shade of the pine, But get the pine out of the way, you may burn The pasture all over until not a fern Or grass-blade is left, not to mention a stick, And presto, they're up all around you as thick And hard to explain as a conjuror's trick.' 'It must be on charcoal they fatten their fruit. I taste in them sometimes the flavour of soot. And after all really they're ebony skinned: The blue's but a mist from the breath of the wind, A tarnish that goes at a touch of the hand, And less than the tan with which pickers are tanned.' 'Does Mortenson know what he has, do you think? ' 'He may and not care and so leave the chewink To gather them for him—you know what he is. He won't make the fact that they're rightfully his An excuse for keeping us other folk out.' 'I wonder you didn't see Loren about.' 'The best of it was that I did. Do you know, I was just getting through what the field had to show And over the wall and into the road, When who should come by, with a democrat-load Of all the young chattering Lorens alive, But Loren, the fatherly, out for a drive.' 'He saw you, then? What did he do? Did he frown? ' 'He just kept nodding his head up and down. You know how politely he always goes by. But he thought a big thought—I could tell by his eye— Which being expressed, might be this in effect: 'I have left those there berries, I shrewdly suspect, To ripen too long. I am greatly to blame.'' 'He's a thriftier person than some I could name.' 'He seems to be thrifty; and hasn't he need, With the mouths of all those young Lorens to feed? He has brought them all up on wild berries, they say, Like birds. They store a great many away. They eat them the year round, and those they don't eat They sell in the store and buy shoes for their feet.' 'Who cares what they say? It's a nice way to live, Just taking what Nature is willing to give, Not forcing her hand with harrow and plow.' 'I wish you had seen his perpetual bow— And the air of the youngsters! Not one of them turned, And they looked so solemn-absurdly concerned.' 'I wish I knew half what the flock of them know Of where all the berries and other things grow, Cranberries in bogs and raspberries on top Of the boulder-strewn mountain, and when they will crop. I met them one day and each had a flower Stuck into his berries as fresh as a shower; Some strange kind—they told me it hadn't a name.' 'I've told you how once not long after we came, I almost provoked poor Loren to mirth By going to him of all people on earth To ask if he knew any fruit to be had For the picking. The rascal, he said he'd be glad To tell if he knew. But the year had been bad. There had been some berries—but those were all gone. He didn't say where they had been. He went on: 'I'm sure—I'm sure'—as polite as could be. He spoke to his wife in the door, 'Let me see, Mame, we don't know any good berrying place? ' It was all he could do to keep a straight face. 'If he thinks all the fruit that grows wild is for him, He'll find he's mistaken. See here, for a whim, We'll pick in the Mortensons' pasture this year. We'll go in the morning, that is, if it's clear, And the sun shines out warm: the vines must be wet. It's so long since I picked I almost forget How we used to pick berries: we took one look round, Then sank out of sight like trolls underground, And saw nothing more of each other, or heard, Unless when you said I was keeping a bird Away from its nest, and I said it was you. 'Well, one of us is.' For complaining it flew Around and around us. And then for a while We picked, till I feared you had wandered a mile, And I thought I had lost you. I lifted a shout Too loud for the distance you were, it turned out, For when you made answer, your voice was as low As talking—you stood up beside me, you know.'

But he had gone his way, the grass all mown, And I must be, as he had been,—alone, 'As all must be,' I said within my heart, 'Whether they work together or apart.' But as I said it, swift there passed me by On noiseless wing a bewildered butterfly, Seeking with memories grown dim over night Some resting flower of yesterday's delight. And once I marked his flight go round and round, As where some flower lay withering on the ground. And then he flew as far as eye could see, And then on tremulous wing came back to me. I thought of questions that have no reply, And would have turned to toss the grass to dry; But he turned first, and led my eye to look At a tall tuft of flowers beside a brook, A leaping tongue of bloom the scythe had spared Beside a reedy brook the scythe had bared. I left my place to know them by their name, Finding them butterfly-weed when I came. The mower in the dew had loved them thus, By leaving them to flourish, not for us, Nor yet to draw one thought of ours to him, But from sheer morning gladness at the brim. The butterfly and I had lit upon, Nevertheless, a message from the dawn, That made me hear the wakening birds around, And hear his long scythe whispering to the ground, And feel a spirit kindred to my own; So that henceforth I worked no more alone; But glad with him, I worked as with his aid, And weary, sought at noon with him the shade; And dreaming, as it were, held brotherly speech With one whose thought I had not hoped to reach.

and he half knewWinter was only playing possum.Except in color he isn't blue,But he wouldn't advise a thing to blossom.The water for which we may have to lookIn summertime with a witching wand,In every wheelrut's now a brook,In every print of a hoof a pond.Be glad of water, but don't forgetThe lurking frost in the earth beneathThat will steal forth after the sun is setAnd show on the water its crystal teeth.The time when most I loved my taskThe two must make me love it moreBy coming with what they came to ask.You'd think I never had felt beforeThe weight of an ax-head poised aloft,The grip of earth on outspread feet,The life of muscles rocking softAnd smooth and moist in vernal heat.Out of the wood two hulking tramps(From sleeping God knows where last night,But not long since in the lumber camps).They thought all chopping was theirs of right.Men of the woods and lumberjacks,They judged me by their appropriate tool.Except as a fellow handled an axThey had no way of knowing a fool.Nothing on either side was said.They knew they had but to stay their stayAnd all their logic would fill my head:As that I had no right to playWith what was another man's work for gain.My right might be love but theirs was need.And where the two exist in twainTheirs was the better right--agreed.But yield who will to their separation,My object in living is to uniteMy avocation and my vocationAs my two eyes make one in sight.Only where love and need are one,And the work is play for mortal stakes,Is the deed ever really doneFor Heaven and the future's sakes."", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14495"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14495, ""poem.id"": 14495, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:33:22"", ""poem.title"": ""Once By The Pacific"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14496"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14496, ""poem.id"": 14496, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:33:25"", ""poem.title"": ""Never Again Would Bird's Song Be The Same"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14497"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14497, ""poem.id"": 14497, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:33:27"", ""poem.title"": ""October"", ""poem.date"": ""1/13/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14498"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14498, ""poem.id"": 14498, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:33:33"", ""poem.title"": ""Come In"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14499"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14499, ""poem.id"": 14499, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:33:35"", ""poem.title"": ""Out, Out"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14500"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14500, ""poem.id"": 14500, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:33:41"", ""poem.title"": ""Stars"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14501"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14501, ""poem.id"": 14501, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:33:45"", ""poem.title"": ""Gathering Leaves"", ""poem.date"": ""1/13/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14502"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14502, ""poem.id"": 14502, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:33:51"", ""poem.title"": ""Ghost House"", ""poem.date"": ""1/13/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14503"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14503, ""poem.id"": 14503, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:33:55"", ""poem.title"": ""Design"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14504"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14504, ""poem.id"": 14504, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:34:00"", ""poem.title"": ""\"In White\": Frost's Early Version Of Design"", ""poem.date"": ""1/13/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14505"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14505, ""poem.id"": 14505, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:34:07"", ""poem.title"": ""A Servant To Servants"", ""poem.date"": ""1/13/2003"", ""poem.content"": ""I didn't make you know how glad I wasTo have you come and camp here on our land.I promised myself to get down some dayAnd see the way you lived, but I don't know!With a houseful of hungry men to feedI guess you'd find.... It seems to meI can't express my feelings any moreThan I can raise my voice or want to liftMy hand (oh, I can lift it when I have to).Did ever you feel so? I hope you never.It's got so I don't even know for sureWhether I am glad, sorry, or anything.There's nothing but a voice-like left insideThat seems to tell me how I ought to feel,And would feel if I wasn't all gone wrong.You take the lake. I look and look at it.I see it's a fair, pretty sheet of water.I stand and make myself repeat out loudThe advantages it has, so long and narrow,Like a deep piece of some old running riverCut short off at both ends. It lies five milesStraight away through the mountain notchFrom the sink window where I wash the plates,And all our storms come up toward the house,Drawing the slow waves whiter and whiter and whiter.It took my mind off doughnuts and soda biscuitTo step outdoors and take the water dazzleA sunny morning, or take the rising windAbout my face and body and through my wrapper,When a storm threatened from the Dragon's Den,And a cold chill shivered across the lake.I see it's a fair, pretty sheet of water,Our Willoughby! How did you hear of it?I expect, though, everyone's heard of it.In a book about ferns? Listen to that!You let things more like feathers regulateYour going and coming. And you like it here?I can see how you might. But I don't know!It would be different if more people came,For then there would be business. As it is,The cottages Len built, sometimes we rent them,Sometimes we don't. We've a good piece of shoreThat ought to be worth something, and may yet.But I don't count on it as much as Len.He looks on the bright side of everything,Including me. He thinks I'll be all rightWith doctoring. But it's not medicine--Lowe is the only doctor's dared to say so--It's rest I want--there, I have said it out--From cooking meals for hungry hired menAnd washing dishes after them--from doingThings over and over that just won't stay done.By good rights I ought not to have so muchPut on me, but there seems no other way.Len says one steady pull more ought to do it.He says the best way out is always through.And I agree to that, or in so farAs that I can see no way out but through--Leastways for me--and then they'll be convinced.It's not that Len don't want the best for me.It was his plan our moving over inBeside the lake from where that day I showed youWe used to live--ten miles from anywhere.We didn't change without some sacrifice,But Len went at it to make up the loss.His work's a man's, of course, from sun to sun,But he works when he works as hard as I do--Though there's small profit in comparisons.(Women and men will make them all the same.)But work ain't all. Len undertakes too much.He's into everything in town. This yearIt's highways, and he's got too many menAround him to look after that make waste.They take advantage of him shamefully,And proud, too, of themselves for doing so.We have four here to board, great good-for-nothings,Sprawling about the kitchen with their talkWhile I fry their bacon. Much they care!No more put out in what they do or sayThan if I wasn't in the room at all.Coming and going all the time, they are:I don't learn what their names are, let aloneTheir characters, or whether they are safeTo have inside the house with doors unlocked.I'm not afraid of them, though, if they're notAfraid of me. There's two can play at that.I have my fancies: it runs in the family.My father's brother wasn't right. They kept himLocked up for years back there at the old farm.I've been away once--yes, I've been away.The State Asylum. I was prejudiced;I wouldn't have sent anyone of mine there;You know the old idea--the only asylumWas the poorhouse, and those who could afford,Rather than send their folks to such a place,Kept them at home; and it does seem more human.But it's not so: the place is the asylum.There they have every means proper to do with,And you aren't darkening other people's lives--Worse than no good to them, and they no goodTo you in your condition; you can't knowAffection or the want of it in that state.I've heard too much of the old-fashioned way.My father's brother, he went mad quite young.Some thought he had been bitten by a dog,Because his violence took on the formOf carrying his pillow in his teeth;But it's more likely he was crossed in love,Or so the story goes. It was some girl.Anyway all he talked about was love.They soon saw he would do someone a mischiefIf he wa'n't kept strict watch of, and it endedIn father's building him a sort of cage,Or room within a room, of hickory poles,Like stanchions in the barn, from floor to ceiling,--A narrow passage all the way around.Anything they put in for furnitureHe'd tear to pieces, even a bed to lie on.So they made the place comfortable with straw,Like a beast's stall, to ease their consciences.Of course they had to feed him without dishes.They tried to keep him clothed, but he paradedWith his clothes on his arm--all of his clothes.Cruel--it sounds. I 'spose they did the bestThey knew. And just when he was at the height,Father and mother married, and mother came,A bride, to help take care of such a creature,And accommodate her young life to his.That was what marrying father meant to her.She had to lie and hear love things made dreadfulBy his shouts in the night. He'd shout and shoutUntil the strength was shouted out of him,And his voice died down slowly from exhaustion.He'd pull his bars apart like bow and bow-string,And let them go and make them twang untilHis hands had worn them smooth as any ox-bow.And then he'd crow as if he thought that child's play--The only fun he had. I've heard them say, though,They found a way to put a stop to it.He was before my time--I never saw him;But the pen stayed exactly as it wasThere in the upper chamber in the ell,A sort of catch-all full of attic clutter.I often think of the smooth hickory bars.It got so I would say--you know, half fooling--\"It's time I took my turn upstairs in jail\"--Just as you will till it becomes a habit.No wonder I was glad to get away.Mind you, I waited till Len said the word.I didn't want the blame if things went wrong.I was glad though, no end, when we moved out,And I looked to be happy, and I was,As I said, for a while--but I don't know!Somehow the change wore out like a prescription.And there's more to it than just window-viewsAnd living by a lake. I'm past such help--Unless Len took the notion, which he won't,And I won't ask him--it's not sure enough.I 'spose I've got to go the road I'm going:Other folks have to, and why shouldn't I?I almost think if I could do like you,Drop everything and live out on the ground--But it might be, come night, I shouldn't like it,Or a long rain. I should soon get enough,And be glad of a good roof overhead.I've lain awake thinking of you, I'll warrant,More than you have yourself, some of these nights.The wonder was the tents weren't snatched awayFrom over you as you lay in your beds.I haven't courage for a risk like that.Bless you, of course, you're keeping me from work,But the thing of it is, I need to be kept.There's work enough to do--there's always that;But behind's behind. The worst that you can doIs set me back a little more behind.I sha'n't catch up in this world, anyway.I'd rather you'd not go unless you must."", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14506"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14506, ""poem.id"": 14506, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:34:14"", ""poem.title"": ""Tree At My Window"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14507"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14507, ""poem.id"": 14507, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:34:17"", ""poem.title"": ""Dust Of Snow"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14508"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14508, ""poem.id"": 14508, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:34:20"", ""poem.title"": ""Devotion"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14509"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14509, ""poem.id"": 14509, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:34:23"", ""poem.title"": ""Fireflies In The Garden"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14510"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14510, ""poem.id"": 14510, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:34:26"", ""poem.title"": ""The Silken Tent"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14511"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14511, ""poem.id"": 14511, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:34:30"", ""poem.title"": ""A Cliff Dwelling"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14512"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14512, ""poem.id"": 14512, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:34:32"", ""poem.title"": ""An Old Man's Winter Night"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14513"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14513, ""poem.id"": 14513, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:34:36"", ""poem.title"": ""A Dream Pang"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14514"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14514, ""poem.id"": 14514, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:34:43"", ""poem.title"": ""The Secret Sits"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14515"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14515, ""poem.id"": 14515, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:34:46"", ""poem.title"": ""Bereft"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": ""Your browser does not support the audio element."", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14516"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14516, ""poem.id"": 14516, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:34:49"", ""poem.title"": ""A Line-Storm Song"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14517"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14517, ""poem.id"": 14517, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:34:53"", ""poem.title"": ""Desert Places"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14518"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14518, ""poem.id"": 14518, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:34:56"", ""poem.title"": ""Mending Wall"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": ""Something there is that doesn't love a wall, That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it, And spills the upper boulders in the sun; And makes gaps even two can pass abreast.

Often you must have seen themLoaded with ice a sunny winter morningAfter a rain. They click upon themselvesAs the breeze rises, and turn many-colouredAs the stir cracks and crazes their enamel.Soon the sun's warmth makes them shed crystal shellsShattering and avalanching on the snow-crustSuch heaps of broken glass to sweep awayYou'd think the inner dome of heaven had fallen.They are dragged to the withered bracken by the load,And they seem not to break; though once they are bowedSo low for long, they never right themselves:You may see their trunks arching in the woodsYears afterwards, trailing their leaves on the ground,Like girls on hands and knees that throw their hairBefore them over their heads to dry in the sun.But I was going to say when Truth broke inWith all her matter-of-fact about the ice-storm,I should prefer to have some boy bend themAs he went out and in to fetch the cows- Some boy too far from town to learn baseball,Whose only play was what he found himself,Summer or winter, and could play alone.One by one he subdued his father's treesBy riding them down over and over againUntil he took the stiffness out of them,And not one but hung limp, not one was leftFor him to conquer. He learned all there wasTo learn about not launching out too soonAnd so not carrying the tree awayClear to the ground. He always kept his poiseTo the top branches, climbing carefullyWith the same pains you use to fill a cupUp to the brim, and even above the brim.Then he flung outward, feet first, with a swish,Kicking his way down through the air to the ground.So was I once myself a swinger of birches.And so I dream of going back to be.It's when I'm weary of considerations,And life is too much like a pathless woodWhere your face burns and tickles with the cobwebsBroken across it, and one eye is weepingFrom a twig's having lashed across it open.I'd like to get away from earth awhileAnd then come back to it and begin over.May no fate willfully misunderstand meAnd half grant what I wish and snatch me awayNot to return. Earth's the right place for love:I don't know where it's likely to go better.I'd like to go by climbing a birch treeAnd climb black branches up a snow-white trunkToward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,But dipped its top and set me down again.That would be good both going and coming back.One could do worse than be a swinger of birches."", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14527"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14527, ""poem.id"": 14527, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:35:39"", ""poem.title"": ""A Time To Talk"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14528"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14528, ""poem.id"": 14528, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:35:40"", ""poem.title"": ""A Prayer In Spring"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14529"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14529, ""poem.id"": 14529, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:35:42"", ""poem.title"": ""A Soldier"", ""poem.date"": ""1/13/2003"", ""poem.content"": ""Your browser does not support the audio element."", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14530"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14530, ""poem.id"": 14530, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:35:45"", ""poem.title"": ""A Question"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": ""Your browser does not support the audio element."", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14531"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14531, ""poem.id"": 14531, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:35:48"", ""poem.title"": ""A Minor Bird"", ""poem.date"": ""1/13/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14532"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14532, ""poem.id"": 14532, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:35:51"", ""poem.title"": ""A Late Walk"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14533"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14533, ""poem.id"": 14533, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:35:56"", ""poem.title"": ""Acquainted With The Night"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14534"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14534, ""poem.id"": 14534, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:35:57"", ""poem.title"": ""Nothing Gold Can Stay"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14535"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14535, ""poem.id"": 14535, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:36:00"", ""poem.title"": ""Fire And Ice"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14536"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14536, ""poem.id"": 14536, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:36:03"", ""poem.title"": ""Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" }, ""14537"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14537, ""poem.id"": 14537, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:36:07"", ""poem.title"": ""The Road Not Taken"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Frost"" } }" 2,"2018-02-28 20:19:00","Maya Angelou","{ ""41"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 41, ""poem.id"": 41, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-01 03:45:43"", ""poem.title"": ""The Rock Cries Out to Us Today"", ""poem.date"": ""2/8/2016"", ""poem.content"": ""A Rock, A River, A TreeHosts to species long since departed,Mark the mastodon.The dinosaur, who left dry tokensOf their sojourn hereOn our planet floor,Any broad alarm of their of their hastening doomIs lost in the gloom of dust and ages.But today, the Rock cries out to us, clearly, forcefully,Come, you may stand upon myBack and face your distant destiny,But seek no haven in my shadow.I will give you no hiding place down here.You, created only a little lower thanThe angels, have crouched too long inThe bruising darkness,Have lain too longFace down in ignorance.Your mouths spelling wordsArmed for slaughter.The rock cries out today, you may stand on me,But do not hide your face.Across the wall of the world,A river sings a beautiful song,Come rest here by my side.Each of you a bordered country,Delicate and strangely made proud,Yet thrusting perpetually under siege.Your armed struggles for profitHave left collars of waste uponMy shore, currents of debris upon my breast.Yet, today I call you to my riverside,If you will study war no more.Come, clad in peace and I will sing the songsThe Creator gave to me when IAnd the tree and stone were one.Before cynicism was a bloody sear across your browAnd when you yet knew you still knew nothing.The river sings and sings on.There is a true yearning to respond toThe singing river and the wise rock.So say the Asian, the Hispanic, the Jew,The African and Native American, the Sioux,The Catholic, the Muslim, the French, the Greek,The Irish, the Rabbi, the Priest, the Sheikh,The Gay, the Straight, the Preacher,The privileged, the homeless, the teacher.They hear.

In fact, there were so few public acknowledgments of the female presence that I felt personally honored whenever nature and large ships were referred to as feminine. But as I matured, I began to resent being considered a sister to a changeling as fickle as luck, as aloof as an ocean, and as frivolous as nature. The phrase 'A woman always has the right to change her mind' played so aptly into the negative image of the female that I made myself a victim to an unwavering decision. Even if I made an inane and stupid choice, I stuck by it rather than 'be like a woman and change my mind.'Being a woman is hard work. Not without joy and even ecstasy, but still relentless, unending work. Becoming an old female may require only being born with certain genitalia, inheriting long-living genes and the fortune not to be run over by an out-of-control truck, but to become and remain a woman command the existence and employment of genius.The woman who survives intact and happy must be at once tender and tough. She must have convinced herself, or be in the unending process of convincing herself, that she, her values, and her choices are important. In a time a nd world where males hold sway and control, the pressure upon women to yield their rights-of-way is tremendous. And it is under those very circumstances that the woman's toughness must be in evidence.She must resist considering herself a lesser version of her male counterpart. She is not a sculptress, poetess, authoress, Jewess, Negress, or even (now rare) in university parlance a rectoress. If she is the thing, then for her own sense of self and for the education of the ill-informed she must insist with rectitude in being the thing and in being called the thing.A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but a woman called by a devaluing name will only be weakened by the misnomer. She will need to prize her tenderness and be able to display it at appropriate times in order to prevent toughness from gaining total authority and to avoid becoming a mirror image of those men who value power above life, and control over love.It is imperative that a woman keep her sense of humor intact and at the ready. She must see, even if only in secret, that she is the funniest, looniest woman in her world, which she should also see as being the most absurd world of all times. It has been said that laughter is therapeutic and amiability lengthens the life span. Women should be tough, tender, laugh as much as possible, and live long lives. The struggle for equality continues unabated, and the woman warrior who is armed with wit and courage will be among the first to celebrate victory."", ""poem.author"": ""Maya Angelou"" }, ""44"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 44, ""poem.id"": 44, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-01 03:46:00"", ""poem.title"": ""Glory Falls"", ""poem.date"": ""3/9/2016"", ""poem.content"": ""Glory falls around us as we sob a dirge of desolation on the Cross and hatred is the ballast of the rock which his upon our necks and underfoot.

On lonely street corners, hawking her body. In the classroom, loving the children to understanding.Centered on the world's stage, she sings to her loves and beloveds, to her foes and detractors: However I am perceived and deceived, however my ignorance and conceits, lay aside your fears that I will be undone,for I shall not be moved."", ""poem.author"": ""Maya Angelou"" }, ""50"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 50, ""poem.id"": 50, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-01 03:46:26"", ""poem.title"": ""Ain't That Bad?"", ""poem.date"": ""3/9/2016"", ""poem.content"": ""Dancin' the funky chickenEatin' ribs and tipsDiggin' all the latest soundsAnd drinkin' gin in sips.Puttin' down that do-ragTighten' up my 'froWrappin' up in BlacknessDon't I shine and glow?Hearin' Stevie WonderCookin' beans and riceGoin' to the operaCheckin' out Leontyne Price.Get down, Jesse JacksonDance on, Alvin AileyTalk, Miss Barbara JordanGroove, Miss Pearlie Bailey.Now ain't they bad?An ain't they Black?An ain't they Black?An' ain't they Bad?An ain't they bad?An' ain't they Black?An' ain't they fine?Black like the hour of the nightWhen your love turns and wriggles close to your sideBlack as the earth which has given birthTo nations, and when all else is gone will abide.Bad as the storm that leaps raging from the heavensBringing the welcome rainBad as the sun burning orange hot at middayLifting the waters again.Arthur Ashe on the tennis courtMohammed Ali in the ringAndre Watts and Andrew YoungBlack men doing their thing.Dressing in purples and pinks and greensExotic as rum and CokesLiving our lives with flash and styleAin't we colorful folks?Now ain't we bad?An' ain't we Black?An' ain't we Black?An' ain't we bad?An' ain't we bad?An' ain't we Black?An' ain't we fine?"", ""poem.author"": ""Maya Angelou"" }, ""51"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 51, ""poem.id"": 51, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-01 03:46:29"", ""poem.title"": ""When I Think About Myself"", ""poem.date"": ""9/15/2015"", ""poem.content"": ""When I think about myself, I almost laugh myself to death, My life has been one great big joke, A dance that's walked A song that's spoke, I laugh so hard I almost choke When I think about myself.Sixty years in these folks' world The child I works for calls me girl I say 'Yes ma'am' for working's sake.

scorn are scrubbed clean When battlefields and coliseum No longer rake our unique and particular sons and daughters Up with the bruised and bloody grass To lie in identical plots in foreign soil When the rapacious storming of the churches The screaming racket in the temples have ceased When the pennants are waving gaily When the banners of the world tremble Stoutly in the good, clean breeze When

When religious ritual is not perfumed By the incense of burning flesh And childhood dreams are not kicked awake By nightmares of abuse When we come to it Then we will confess that not the Pyramids With their stones set in mysterious perfection Nor the Gardens of Babylon Hanging as eternal beauty In our collective memory Not the Grand Canyon Kindled into delicious color By Western sunsets Nor the Danube, flowing its blue soul into Europe Not the sacred peak of Mount Fuji Stretching to the Rising Sun Neither Father Amazon nor Mother Mississippi who, without favor, Nurture all creatures in

twinkling, life is sapped from the living Yet those same hands can touch with such healing, irresistible tenderness That the haughty neck is happy to bow And the proud back is glad to bend Out of such chaos, of such contradiction We learn that we are neither devils nor divines When we come to it We, this people, on this wayward, floating body Created on this earth, of this earth Have the power to

night has been long,The wound has been deep,The pit has been dark,And the walls have been steep.Under a dead blue sky on a distant beach,I was dragged by my braids just beyond your reach.Your hands were tied, your mouth was bound,You couldn't even call out my name.You were helpless and so was I,But unfortunately throughout historyYou've worn a badge of shame.I say, the night has been long,The wound has been deep,The pit has been darkAnd the walls have been steep.But today, voices of old spirit soundSpeak to us in words profound,Across the years, across the centuries,Across the oceans, and across the seas.They say, draw near to one another,Save your race.You have been paid for in a distant place,The old ones remind us that slavery's chainsHave paid for our freedom again and again.The night has been long,The pit has been deep,The night has been dark,And the walls have been steep.The hells we have lived through and live through still,Have sharpened our senses and toughened our will.The night has been long.This morning I look through your anguishRight down to your soul.I know that with each other we can make ourselves whole.I look through the posture and past your disguise,And see your love for family in your big brown eyes.I say, clap hands and let's come together in this meeting ground,I say, clap hands and let's deal with each other with love,I say, clap hands and let us get from the low road of indifference,Clap hands, let us come together and reveal our hearts,Let us come together and revise our spirits,Let us come together and cleanse our souls,Clap hands, let's leave the preeningAnd stop impostering our own history.Clap hands, call the spirits back from the ledge,Clap hands, let us invite joy into our conversation,Courtesy into our bedrooms,Gentleness into our kitchen,Care into our nursery.The ancestors remind us, despite the history of painWe are a going-on people who will rise again.And still we rise."", ""poem.author"":

Anon his beating heart, alarum striking, Gives the hot charge and bids them do their liking.His drumming heart cheers up his burning eye,His eye commends the leading to his hand;His hand, as proud of such a dignity,Smoking with pride, marched on to make his standOn her bare breast, the heart of all her land, Whose ranks of blue veins, as his hand did scale, Left their round turrets destitute and pale.They, mustering to the quiet cabinetWhere their dear governess and lady lies,Do tell her she is dreadfully besetAnd fright her with confusion of their cries.She, much amazed, breaks ope her locked-up eyes, Who, peeping forth this tumult to behold, Are by his flaming torch dimmed and controlled.Imagine her as one in dead of nightFrom forth dull sleep by dreadful fancy waking,That thinks she hath beheld some ghastly sprite,Whose grim aspect sets every joint a-shaking.What terror ‘tis! but she, in worser taking, From sleep disturbèd, heedfully doth view The sight which makes supposèd terror true.Wrapped and confounded in a thousand fears,Like to a new-killed bird she trembling lies.She dares not look; yet, winking, there appearsQuick-shifting antics ugly in her eyes.Such shadows are the weak brain's forgeries, Who, angry that the eyes fly from their lights, In darkness daunts them with more dreadful sights.His hand, that yet remains upon her breast(Rude ram, to batter such an ivory wall!)May feel her heart (poor citizen) distressed,Wounding itself to death, rise up and fall,Beating her bulk, that his hand shakes withal.

perfumed thatThe winds were lovesick with them; the oars were silver,Which to the tune of flutes kept stroke, and madeThe water which they beat to follow faster,As amorous of their strokes. For her own person,It beggar'd all description: she did lieIn her pavilion, cloth-of-gold of tissue,O'erpicturing that Venus where we seeThe fancy outwork nature: on each side herStood pretty dimpled boys, like smiling Cupids,With divers-colour'd fans, whose wind did seemTo glow the delicate cheeks which they did cool,And what they undid did.Agrippa: O, rare for Antony.Enobarbus: Her gentlewomen, like the Nereides,So many mermaids, tended her i' th' eyes,And made their bends adornings. At the helmA seeming mermaid steers: the silken tackleSwell with the touches of those flower-soft handsThat yarely frame the office. From the bargeA strange invisible perfume hits the senseOf the adjacent wharfs. The city castHer people out upon her; and Antony,Enthroned i' th' marketplace, did sit alone,Whistling to th' air; which, but for vacancy,Had gone to gaze on Cleopatra too,And made a gap in nature.Agrippa: Rare Egyptian!Enobarbus: Upon her landing, Antony sent to her,Invited her to supper. She repliedIt should be better he became her guest;Which she entreated. Our courteous Antony,Whom ne'er the word of \"No\" woman heard speak,Being barbered ten times o'er, goes to the feast,And for his ordinary, pays his heartFor what his eyes eat only.Agrippa: Royal wench!She made great Caesar lay his sword to bed;He plowed her, and she cropped.Enobarbus: I saw her onceHop forty paces through the public street;And having lost her breath, she spoke, and panted,That she did make defect perfection,And, breathless, pow'r breathe forth.Maecenas: Now Antony must leave her utterly.Enobarbus: Never; He will not:Age cannot wither her, nor custom staleHer infinite variety. Other women cloyThe appetites they feed, but she makes hungryWhere most she satisfies; for vilest thingsBecome themselves in her, that the holy priestsBless her when she is riggish."", ""poem.author"": ""William Shakespeare"" }, ""14707"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14707, ""poem.id"": 14707, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:42:54"", ""poem.title"": ""Sonnet Cxxxvii"", ""poem.date"": ""5/18/2001"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Shakespeare"" }, ""14708"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14708, ""poem.id"": 14708, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:43:00"", ""poem.title"": ""Sonnets I"", ""poem.date"": ""1/4/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Shakespeare"" }, ""14709"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14709, ""poem.id"": 14709, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:43:06"", ""poem.title"": ""Sonnet 70:That Thou Art Blamed Shall Not Be Thy Defect…"", ""poem.date"": ""3/30/2010"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Shakespeare"" }, ""14710"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14710, ""poem.id"": 14710, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:43:11"", ""poem.title"": ""Sonnet Xxxviii: How Can My Muse Want Subject To Invent"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Shakespeare"" }, ""14711"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14711, ""poem.id"": 14711, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:43:17"", ""poem.title"": ""Sonnet Xxvii"", ""poem.date"": ""5/21/2001"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Shakespeare"" }, ""14712"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14712, ""poem.id"": 14712, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:43:24"", ""poem.title"": ""Sonnet Vii"", ""poem.date"": ""5/21/2001"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Shakespeare"" }, ""14713"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14713, ""poem.id"": 14713, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:43:30"", ""poem.title"": ""Sonnet Xxxii: If Thou Survive My Well-Contented Day"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Shakespeare"" }, ""14714"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14714, ""poem.id"": 14714, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:43:37"", ""poem.title"": ""Sonnet L"", ""poem.date"": ""5/21/2001"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Shakespeare"" }, ""14715"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14715, ""poem.id"": 14715, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 01:43:40"", ""poem.title"": ""Now The Hungry Lion Roars"", ""poem.date"": ""3/2/2015"", ""poem.content"": ""From \"A Midsummer-Night's Dream,\" Act V.

rushes, snorts and neighs aloud; The strong-neck'd steed, being tied unto a tree, Breaketh his rein, and to her straight goes he.Imperiously he leaps, he neighs, he bounds,And now his woven girths he breaks asunder;The bearing earth with his hard hoof he wounds,Whose hollow womb resounds like heaven's thunder; The iron bit he crushes 'tween his teeth Controlling what he was controlled with.His ears up-prick'd; his braided hanging maneUpon his compass'd crest now stand on end;His nostrils drink the air, and forth again,As from a furnace, vapours doth he send: His eye, which scornfully glisters like fire, Shows his hot courage and his high desire.Sometime her trots, as if he told the steps,With gentle majesty and modest pride;Anon he rears upright, curvets and leaps,As who should say, 'Lo! thus my strength is tried; And this I do to captivate the eye Of the fair breeder that is standing by.'What recketh he his rider's angry stir,His flattering 'Holla,' or his 'Stand, I say?'What cares he now for curb of pricking spur?For rich caparisons or trapping gay? He sees his love, and nothing else he sees, Nor nothing else with his proud sight agrees.Look, when a painter would surpass the life, In limning out a well-proportion'd steed,His art with nature's workmanship at strife,As if the dead the living should exceed; So did this horse excel a common one, In shape, in courage, colour, pace and boneRound-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long,Broad breast, full eye, small head, and nostril wide,High crest, short ears, straight legs and passing strong,Thin mane, thick tail, broad buttock, tender hide: Look, what a horse should have he did not lack, Save a proud rider on so proud a back.Sometimes he scuds far off, and there he stares;Anon he starts at stirring of a feather;To bid the wind a race he now prepares,And whe'r he run or fly they know not whether; For through his mane and tail the high wind sings, Fanning the hairs, who wave like feather'd wings.He looks upon his love, and neighs unto her;She answers him as if she knew his mind;Being proud, as females are, to see him woo her,She puts on outward strangeness, seems unkind, Spurns at his love and scorns the heat he feels, Beating his kind embracements with her heels.Then, like a melancholy malcontent,He vails his tail that, like a falling plumeCool shadow to his melting buttock lent:He stamps, and bites the poor flies in his fume. His love, perceiving how he is enrag'd, Grew kinder, and his fury was assuag'd.His testy master goeth about to take him;When lo! the unback'd breeder, full of fear,Jealous of catching, swiftly doth forsake him,With her the horse, and left Adonis there. As they were mad, unto the wood they hie them, Out-stripping crows that strive to over-fly them. I prophesy they death, my living sorrow, If thou encounter with the boar to-morrow.\"But if thou needs wilt hunt, be rul'd by me;Uncouple at the timorous flying hare,Or at the fox which lives by subtlety,Or at the roe which no encounter dare: Pursue these fearful creatures o'er the downs, And on they well-breath'd horse keep with they hounds.\"And when thou hast on food the purblind hare,Mark the poor wretch, to overshoot his troublesHow he outruns with winds, and with what careHe cranks and crosses with a thousand doubles: The many musits through the which he goes Are like a labyrinth to amaze his foes.\"Sometime he runs among a flock of sheep,To make the cunning hounds mistake their smell,And sometime where earth-delving conies keep,To stop the loud pursuers in their yell, And sometime sorteth with a herd of deer; Danger deviseth shifts; wit waits on fear:\"For there his smell with other being mingled,The hot scent-snuffing hounds are driven to doubt,Ceasing their clamorous cry till they have singled With much ado the cold fault cleanly out; Then do they spend their mouths: Echo replies, As if another chase were in the skies.\"By this, poor Wat, far off upon a hill,Stands on his hinder legs with listening ear,To hearken if his foes pursue him still:Anon their loud alarums he doth hear; And now his grief may be compared well To one sore sick that hears the passing-bell.\"Then shalt thou see the dew-bedabbled wretchTurn, and return, indenting with the way;Each envious briar his weary legs doth scratch,Each shadow makes him stop, each murmur stay: For misery is trodden on by many, And being low never reliev'd by any.\"Lie quietly, and hear a little more;Nay, do not struggle, for thou shalt not rise:To make thee hate the hunting of the boar,Unlike myself thou hear'st me moralize, Applying this to that, and so to so; For love can comment upon every woe.\""", ""poem.author"": ""William Shakespeare"" }, ""14978"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14978, ""poem.id"": 14978, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:03:21"", ""poem.title"": ""Winter"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Shakespeare"" }, ""14979"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14979, ""poem.id"": 14979, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:03:24"", ""poem.title"": ""Dirge"", ""poem.date"": ""1/4/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Shakespeare"" }, ""14980"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14980, ""poem.id"": 14980, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:03:29"", ""poem.title"": ""Aubade"", ""poem.date"": ""1/4/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Shakespeare"" }, ""14981"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14981, ""poem.id"": 14981, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:03:32"", ""poem.title"": ""Sonnet 116: Let Me Not To The Marriage Of True Minds"", ""poem.date"": ""1/13/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Shakespeare"" }, ""14982"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14982, ""poem.id"": 14982, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:03:39"", ""poem.title"": ""A Madrigal"", ""poem.date"": ""3/29/2010"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Shakespeare"" }, ""14983"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14983, ""poem.id"": 14983, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:03:45"", ""poem.title"": ""Bridal Song"", ""poem.date"": ""1/4/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Shakespeare"" }, ""14984"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14984, ""poem.id"": 14984, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:03:52"", ""poem.title"": ""Full Fathom Five"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Shakespeare"" }, ""14985"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14985, ""poem.id"": 14985, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:03:55"", ""poem.title"": ""Love"", ""poem.date"": ""1/4/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Shakespeare"" }, ""14986"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 14986, ""poem.id"": 14986, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:04:00"", ""poem.title"": ""Hark!

Upon her head a platted hive of straw, Which fortified her visage from the sun, Whereon the thought might think sometime it saw The carcass of beauty spent and done: Time had not scythed all that youth begun, Nor youth all quit; but, spite of heaven's fell rage, Some beauty peep'd through lattice of sear'd age. Oft did she heave her napkin to her eyne, Which on it had conceited characters, Laundering the silken figures in the brine That season'd woe had pelleted in tears, And often reading what contents it bears; As often shrieking undistinguish'd woe, In clamours of all size, both high and low. Sometimes her levell'd eyes their carriage ride, As they did battery to the spheres intend; Sometime diverted their poor balls are tied To the orbed earth; sometimes they do extend Their view right on; anon their gazes lend To every place at once, and, nowhere fix'd, The mind and sight distractedly commix'd. Her hair, nor loose nor tied in formal plat, Proclaim'd in her a careless hand of pride For some, untuck'd, descended her sheaved hat, Hanging her pale and pined cheek beside; Some in her threaden fillet still did bide, And true to bondage would not break from thence, Though slackly braided in loose negligence. A thousand favours from a maund she drew Of amber, crystal, and of beaded jet, Which one by one she in a river threw, Upon whose weeping margent she was set; Like usury, applying wet to wet, Or monarch's hands that let not bounty fall Where want cries some, but where excess begs all. Of folded schedules had she many a one, Which she perused, sigh'd, tore, and gave the flood; Crack'd many a ring of posied gold and bone Bidding them find their sepulchres in mud; Found yet moe letters sadly penn'd in blood, With sleided silk feat and affectedly Enswathed, and seal'd to curious secrecy. These often bathed she in her fluxive eyes, And often kiss'd, and often 'gan to tear: Cried 'O false blood, thou register of lies, What unapproved witness dost thou bear! Ink would have seem'd more black and damned here!' This said, in top of rage the lines she rents, Big discontent so breaking their contents. A reverend man that grazed his cattle nigh-- Sometime a blusterer, that the ruffle knew Of court, of city, and had let go by The swiftest hours, observed as they flew-- Towards this afflicted fancy fastly drew, And, privileged by age, desires to know In brief the grounds and motives of her woe. So slides he down upon his grained bat, And comely-distant sits he by her side; When he again desires her, being sat, Her grievance with his hearing to divide: If that from him there may be aught applied Which may her suffering ecstasy assuage, 'Tis promised in the charity of age. 'Father,' she says, 'though in me you behold The injury of many a blasting hour, Let it not tell your judgment I am old; Not age, but sorrow, over me hath power: I might as yet have been a spreading flower, Fresh to myself, If I had self-applied Love to myself and to no love beside. 'But, woe is me! too early I attended A youthful suit--it was to gain my grace-- Of one by nature's outwards so commended, That maidens' eyes stuck over all his face: Love lack'd a dwelling, and made him her place; And when in his fair parts she did abide, She was new lodged and newly deified. 'His browny locks did hang in crooked curls; And every light occasion of the wind Upon his lips their silken parcels hurls. What's sweet to do, to do will aptly find: Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind, For on his visage was in little drawn What largeness thinks in Paradise was sawn. 'Small show of man was yet upon his chin; His phoenix down began but to appear Like unshorn velvet on that termless skin Whose bare out-bragg'd the web it seem'd to wear: Yet show'd his visage by that cost more dear; And nice affections wavering stood in doubt If best were as it was, or best without. 'His qualities were beauteous as his form, For maiden-tongued he was, and thereof free; Yet, if men moved him, was he such a storm As oft 'twixt May and April is to see, When winds breathe sweet, untidy though they be. His rudeness so with his authorized youth Did livery falseness in a pride of truth. 'Well could he ride, and often men would say 'That horse his mettle from his rider takes: Proud of subjection, noble by the sway, What rounds, what bounds, what course, what stop he makes!' And controversy hence a question takes, Whether the horse by him became his deed, Or he his manage by the well-doing steed. 'But quickly on this side the verdict went: His real habitude gave life and grace To appertainings and to ornament, Accomplish'd in himself, not in his case: All aids, themselves made fairer by their place, Came for additions; yet their purposed trim Pieced not his grace, but were all graced by him. 'So on the tip of his subduing tongue All kinds of arguments and question deep, All replication prompt, and reason strong, For his advantage still did wake and sleep: To make the weeper laugh, the laugher weep, He had the dialect and different skill, Catching all passions in his craft of will: 'That he did in the general bosom reign Of young, of old; and sexes both enchanted, To dwell with him in thoughts, or to remain In personal duty, following where he haunted: Consents bewitch'd, ere he desire, have granted; And dialogued for him what he would say, Ask'd their own wills, and made their wills obey. 'Many there were that did his picture get, To serve their eyes, and in it put their mind; Like fools that in th' imagination set The goodly objects which abroad they find Of lands and mansions, theirs in thought assign'd; And labouring in moe pleasures to bestow them Than the true gouty landlord which doth owe them: 'So many have, that never touch'd his hand, Sweetly supposed them mistress of his heart. My woeful self, that did in freedom stand, And was my own fee-simple, not in part, What with his art in youth, and youth in art, Threw my affections in his charmed power, Reserved the stalk and gave him all my flower. 'Yet did I not, as some my equals did, Demand of him, nor being desired yielded; Finding myself in honour so forbid, With safest distance I mine honour shielded: Experience for me many bulwarks builded Of proofs new-bleeding, which remain'd the foil Of this false jewel, and his amorous spoil. 'But, ah, who ever shunn'd by precedent The destined ill she must herself assay? Or forced examples, 'gainst her own content, To put the by-past perils in her way? Counsel may stop awhile what will not stay; For when we rage, advice is often seen By blunting us to make our wits more keen. 'Nor gives it satisfaction to our blood, That we must curb it upon others' proof; To be forbod the sweets that seem so good, For fear of harms that preach in our behoof. O appetite, from judgment stand aloof! The one a palate hath that needs will taste, Though Reason weep, and cry, 'It is thy last.' 'For further I could say 'This man's untrue,' And knew the patterns of his foul beguiling; Heard where his plants in others' orchards grew, Saw how deceits were gilded in his smiling; Knew vows were ever brokers to defiling; Thought characters and words merely but art, And bastards of his foul adulterate heart. 'And long upon these terms I held my city, Till thus he gan besiege me: 'Gentle maid, Have of my suffering youth some feeling pity, And be not of my holy vows afraid: That's to ye sworn to none was ever said; For feasts of love I have been call'd unto, Till now did ne'er invite, nor never woo. ''All my offences that abroad you see Are errors of the blood, none of the mind; Love made them not: with acture they may be, Where neither party is nor true nor kind: They sought their shame that so their shame did find; And so much less of shame in me remains, By how much of me their reproach contains. ''Among the many that mine eyes have seen, Not one whose flame my heart so much as warm'd, Or my affection put to the smallest teen, Or any of my leisures ever charm'd: Harm have I done to them, but ne'er was harm'd; Kept hearts in liveries, but mine own was free, And reign'd, commanding in his monarchy. ''Look here, what tributes wounded fancies sent me, Of paled pearls and rubies red as blood; Figuring that they their passions likewise lent me Of grief and blushes, aptly understood In bloodless white and the encrimson'd mood; Effects of terror and dear modesty, Encamp'd in hearts, but fighting outwardly. ''And, lo, behold these talents of their hair, With twisted metal amorously impleach'd, I have received from many a several fair, Their kind acceptance weepingly beseech'd, With the annexions of fair gems enrich'd, And deep-brain'd sonnets that did amplify Each stone's dear nature, worth, and quality. ''The diamond,--why, 'twas beautiful and hard, Whereto his invised properties did tend; The deep-green emerald, in whose fresh regard Weak sights their sickly radiance do amend; The heaven-hued sapphire and the opal blend With objects manifold: each several stone, With wit well blazon'd, smiled or made some moan. ''Lo, all these trophies of affections hot, Of pensived and subdued desires the tender, Nature hath charged me that I hoard them not, But yield them up where I myself must render, That is, to you, my origin and ender; For these, of force, must your oblations be, Since I their altar, you enpatron me. ''O, then, advance of yours that phraseless hand, Whose white weighs down the airy scale of praise; Take all these similes to your own command, Hallow'd with sighs that burning lungs did raise; What me your minister, for you obeys, Works under you; and to your audit comes Their distract parcels in combined sums. ''Lo, this device was sent me from a nun, Or sister sanctified, of holiest note; Which late her noble suit in court did shun, Whose rarest havings made the blossoms dote; For she was sought by spirits of richest coat, But kept cold distance, and did thence remove, To spend her living in eternal love. ''But, O my sweet, what labour is't to leave The thing we have not, mastering what not strives, Playing the place which did no form receive, Playing patient sports in unconstrained gyves? She that her fame so to herself contrives, The scars of battle 'scapeth by the flight, And makes her absence valiant, not her might. ''O, pardon me, in that my boast is true: The accident which brought me to her eye Upon the moment did her force subdue, And now she would the caged cloister fly: Religious love put out Religion's eye: Not to be tempted, would she be immured, And now, to tempt, all liberty procured. ''How mighty then you are, O, hear me tell! The broken bosoms that to me belong Have emptied all their fountains in my well, And mine I pour your ocean all among: I strong o'er them, and you o'er me being strong, Must for your victory us all congest, As compound love to physic your cold breast. ''My parts had power to charm a sacred nun, Who, disciplined, ay, dieted in grace, Believed her eyes when they to assail begun, All vows and consecrations giving place: O most potential love! vow, bond, nor space, In thee hath neither sting, knot, nor confine, For thou art all, and all things else are thine. ''When thou impressest, what are precepts worth Of stale example? When thou wilt inflame, How coldly those impediments stand forth Of wealth, of filial fear, law, kindred, fame! Love's arms are peace, 'gainst rule, 'gainst sense, 'gainst shame, And sweetens, in the suffering pangs it bears, The aloes of all forces, shocks, and fears. ''Now all these hearts that do on mine depend, Feeling it break, with bleeding groans they pine; And supplicant their sighs to you extend, To leave the battery that you make 'gainst mine, Lending soft audience to my sweet design, And credent soul to that strong-bonded oath That shall prefer and undertake my troth.' 'This said, his watery eyes he did dismount, Whose sights till then were levell'd on my face; Each cheek a river running from a fount With brinish current downward flow'd apace: O, how the channel to the stream gave grace! Who glazed with crystal gate the glowing roses That flame through water which their hue encloses. 'O father, what a hell of witchcraft lies In the small orb of one particular tear! But with the inundation of the eyes What rocky heart to water will not wear? What breast so cold that is not warmed here? O cleft effect! cold modesty, hot wrath, Both fire from hence and chill extincture hath. 'For, lo, his passion, but an art of craft, Even there resolved my reason into tears; There my white stole of chastity I daff'd, Shook off my sober guards and civil fears; Appear to him, as he to me appears, All melting; though our drops this difference bore, His poison'd me, and mine did him restore. 'In him a plenitude of subtle matter, Applied to cautels, all strange forms receives, Of burning blushes, or of weeping water, Or swooning paleness; and he takes and leaves, In either's aptness, as it best deceives, To blush at speeches rank to weep at woes, Or to turn white and swoon at tragic shows. 'That not a heart which in his level came Could 'scape the hail of his all-hurting aim, Showing fair nature is both kind and tame; And, veil'd in them, did win whom he would maim: Against the thing he sought he would exclaim; When he most burn'd in heart-wish'd luxury, He preach'd pure maid, and praised cold chastity. 'Thus merely with the garment of a Grace The naked and concealed fiend he cover'd; That th' unexperient gave the tempter place, Which like a cherubin above them hover'd.

take off my uniform,Will I be safe from harm--Or will you do meAs the Germans did the Jews?When I've helped this world to save,Shall I still be color's slave?Or will Victory changeYour antiquated views?You can't say I didn't fightTo smash the Fascists' might.You can't say I wasn't with youin each battle.As a soldier, and a friend.When this war comes to an end,Will you herd me in a Jim Crow carLike cattle?Or will you stand up like a manAt home and take your standFor Democracy?That's all I ask of you.When we lay the guns awayTo celebrateOur Victory DayWILL V-DAY BE ME-DAY, TOO?That's what I want to know.Sincerely,GI Joe."", ""poem.author"": ""Langston Hughes"" }, ""15053"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 15053, ""poem.id"": 15053, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:05:57"", ""poem.title"":

With billowing sails the galleons cameBringing men and dreams, women and dreams.In little bands together,Heart reaching out to heart,Hand reaching out to hand,They began to build our land.Some were free handsSeeking a greater freedom,Some were indentured handsHoping to find their freedom,Some were slave handsGuarding in their hearts the seed of freedom,But the word was there always:Freedom.Down into the earth went the plowIn the free hands and the slave hands,In indentured hands and adventurous hands,Turning the rich soil went the plow in many handsThat planted and harvested the food that fedAnd the cotton that clothed America.Clang against the trees went the ax into many handsThat hewed and shaped the rooftops of America.Splash into the rivers and the seas went the boat-hullsThat moved and transported America.Crack went the whips that drove the horsesAcross the plains of America.Free hands and slave hands,Indentured hands, adventurous hands,White hands and black handsHeld the plow handles,Ax handles, hammer handles,Launched the boats and whipped the horsesThat fed and housed and moved America.Thus together through labor,All these hands made America.Labor! Out of labor came villagesAnd the towns that grew cities.Labor! Out of labor came the rowboatsAnd the sailboats and the steamboats,Came the wagons, and the coaches,Covered wagons, stage coaches,Out of labor came the factories,Came the foundries, came the railroads.Came the marts and markets, shops and stores,Came the mighty products moulded, manufactured,Sold in shops, piled in warehouses,Shipped the wide world over:Out of labor-white hands and black hands-Came the dream, the strength, the will,And the way to build America.Now it is Me here, and You there.Now it’s Manhattan, Chicago,Seattle, New Orleans,Boston and El Paso-Now it’s the U.S.A.A long time ago, but not too long ago, a man said:ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL- ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATORWITH CERTAIN UNALIENABLE RIGHTS- AMONG THESE LIFE, LIBERTYAND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.His name was Jefferson. There were slaves then,But in their hearts the slaves believed him, too,And silently took for grantedThat what he said was also meant for them.It was a long time ago,But not so long ago at that, Lincoln said:NO MAN IS GOOD ENOUGHTO GOVERN ANOTHER MANWITHOUT THAT OTHER’S CONSENT.There were slaves then, too,But in their hearts the slaves knewWhat he said must be meant for every human being-Else it had no meaning for anyone.Then a man said:BETTER TO DIE FREETHAN TO LIVE SLAVESHe was a colored man who had been a slaveBut had run away to freedom.And the slaves knewWhat Frederick Douglass said was true.With John Brown at Harper’s Ferry, Negroes died.John Brown was hung.Before the Civil War, days were dark,And nobody knew for sureWhen freedom would triumph'Or if it would,' thought some.But others new it had to triumph.In those dark days of slavery,Guarding in their hearts the seed of freedom,The slaves made up a song:Keep Your Hand On The Plow! Hold On! That song meant just what it said: Hold On! Freedom will come! Keep Your Hand On The Plow! Hold On! Out of war it came, bloody and terrible! But it came! Some there were, as always,Who doubted that the war would end right,That the slaves would be free,Or that the union would stand,But now we know how it all came out.Out of the darkest days for people and a nation,We know now how it came out.There was light when the battle clouds rolled away.There was a great wooded land,And men united as a nation.America is a dream.The poet says it was promises.The people say it is promises-that will come true.The people do not always say things out loud,Nor write them down on paper.The people often holdGreat thoughts in their deepest heartsAnd sometimes only blunderingly express them,Haltingly and stumblingly say them,And faultily put them into practice.The people do not always understand each other.But there is, somewhere there,Always the trying to understand,And the trying to say,'You are a man. Together we are building our land.'America! Land created in common,Dream nourished in common,Keep your hand on the plow! Hold on! If the house is not yet finished,Don’t be discouraged, builder! If the fight is not yet won,Don’t be weary, soldier! The plan and the pattern is here,Woven from the beginningInto the warp and woof of America:ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL.NO MAN IS GOOD ENOUGHTO GOVERN ANOTHER MANWITHOUT HIS CONSENT.BETTER DIE FREE,THAN TO LIVE SLAVES.Who said those things? Americans! Who owns those words? America! Who is America? You, me! We are America! To the enemy who would conquer us from without,We say, NO! To the enemy who would divideAnd conquer us from within,We say, NO! FREEDOM! BROTHERHOOD! DEMOCRACY! To all the enemies of these great words:We say, NO! A long time ago,An enslaved people heading toward freedomMade up a song:Keep Your Hand On The Plow! Hold On! The plow plowed a new furrowAcross the field of history.Into that furrow the freedom seed was dropped.From that seed a tree grew, is growing, will ever grow.That tree is for everybody,For all America, for all the world.May its branches spread and shelter growUntil all races and all peoples know its shade.KEEP YOUR HAND ON THE PLOW!

Look at my face - dark as the night - Yet shining like the sun with love's true light. I am the dark girl who crossed the red sea Carrying in my body the seed of the free. I am the woman who worked in the field Bringing the cotton and the corn to yield. I am the one who labored as a slave, Beaten and mistreated for the work that I gave - Children sold away from me, I'm husband sold, too. No safety, no love, no respect was I due.Three hundred years in the deepest South: But God put a song and a prayer in my mouth. God put a dream like steel in my soul. Now, through my children, I'm reaching the goal. Now, through my children, young and free, I realized the blessing deed to me. I couldn't read then. I couldn't write. I had nothing, back there in the night. Sometimes, the valley was filled with tears, But I kept trudging on through the lonely years. Sometimes, the road was hot with the sun, But I had to keep on till my work was done: I had to keep on! No stopping for me - I was the seed of the coming Free. I nourished the dream that nothing could smother Deep in my breast - the Negro mother. I had only hope then, but now through you, Dark ones of today, my dreams must come true: All you dark children in the world out there, Remember my sweat, my pain, my despair. Remember my years, heavy with sorrow - And make of those years a torch for tomorrow. Make of my pass a road to the light Out of the darkness, the ignorance, the night. Lift high my banner out of the dust. Stand like free men supporting my trust. Believe in the right, let none push you back. Remember the whip and the slaver's track. Remember how the strong in struggle and strife Still bar you the way, and deny you life - But march ever forward, breaking down bars. Look ever upward at the sun and the stars. Oh, my dark children, may my dreams and my prayers Impel you forever up the great stairs - For I will be with you till no white brother Dares keep down the children of the Negro Mother."", ""poem.author"": ""Langston Hughes"" }, ""15089"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 15089, ""poem.id"": 15089, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:08:47"", ""poem.title"": ""Dream Deferred"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Langston Hughes"" }, ""15090"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 15090, ""poem.id"": 15090, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:08:54"", ""poem.title"": ""Democracy"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Langston Hughes"" }, ""15091"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 15091, ""poem.id"": 15091, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:08:59"", ""poem.title"": ""Let America Be America Again"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": ""Let America be America again.Let it be the dream it used to be.Let it be the pioneer on the plainSeeking a home where he himself is free.(America never was America to me.)Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed--Let it be that great strong land of loveWhere never kings connive nor tyrants schemeThat any man be crushed by one above.(It never was America to me.)O, let my land be a land where LibertyIs crowned with no false patriotic wreath,But opportunity is real, and life is free,Equality is in the air we breathe.(There's never been equality for me,Nor freedom in this \"homeland of the free.\")Say, who are you that mumbles in the dark?

The millions on relief today?The millions shot down when we strike?The millions who have nothing for our pay?For all the dreams we've dreamedAnd all the songs we've sungAnd all the hopes we've heldAnd all the flags we've hung,The millions who have nothing for our pay--Except the dream that's almost dead today.O, let America be America again--The land that never has been yet--And yet must be--the land where every man is free.The land that's mine--the poor man's, Indian's, Negro's, ME--Who made America,Whose sweat and blood, whose faith and pain,Whose hand at the foundry, whose plow in the rain,Must bring back our mighty dream again.Sure, call me any ugly name you choose--The steel of freedom does not stain.From those who live like leeches on the people's lives,We must take back our land again,America!O, yes,I say it plain,America never was America to me,And yet I swear this oath--America will be!Out of the rack and ruin of our gangster death,The rape and rot of graft, and stealth, and lies,We, the people, must redeemThe land, the mines, the plants, the rivers.The mountains and the endless plain--All, all the stretch of these great green states--And make America again!"", ""poem.author"": ""Langston Hughes"" }, ""15092"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 15092, ""poem.id"": 15092, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:09:05"", ""poem.title"": ""Cross"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Langston Hughes"" }, ""15093"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 15093, ""poem.id"": 15093, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:09:12"", ""poem.title"": ""I, Too"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Langston Hughes"" }, ""15094"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 15094, ""poem.id"": 15094, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:09:16"", ""poem.title"": ""April Rain Song"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Langston Hughes"" }, ""15095"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 15095, ""poem.id"": 15095, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:09:20"", ""poem.title"": ""Mother To Son"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Langston Hughes"" }, ""15096"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 15096, ""poem.id"": 15096, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:09:23"", ""poem.title"": ""As I Grew Older"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Langston Hughes"" }, ""15097"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 15097, ""poem.id"": 15097, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:09:29"", ""poem.title"": ""Dreams"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Langston Hughes"" } }" 5,"2018-02-28 20:21:19","Pablo Neruda","{ ""161"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 161, ""poem.id"": 161, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-01 03:54:41"", ""poem.title"": ""Still Another Day: XVII/Men"", ""poem.date"": ""11/4/2015"", ""poem.content"": ""The truth is in the prologue.

The plate broke, the lamp fell All the flower pots tumbled over one by one. That pot which overflowed with scarlet in the middle of October, it got tired from all the violets and another empty one rolled round and round and round all through winter until it was only the powder of a flowerpot, a broken memory, shining dust. And that clock whose sound was the voice of our lives, the secret thread of our weeks, which released one by one, so many hours for honey and silence for so many births and jobs, that clock also fell and its delicate blue guts vibrated among the broken glass its wide heart unsprung. Life goes on grinding up glass, wearing out clothes making fragments breaking down forms and what lasts through time is like an island on a ship in the sea, perishable surrounded by dangerous fragility by merciless waters and threats. Let's put all our treasures together -- the clocks, plates, cups cracked by the cold -- into a sack and carry them to the sea and let our possessions sink into one alarming breaker that sounds like a river. May whatever breaks be reconstructed by the sea with the long labor of its tides.

this humidity like lament or rain.I see, when alone at times,coffins under sailsetting out with the pale dead, women in their dead braids,bakers as white as angels,thoughtful girls married to notaries,coffins ascending the vertical river of the dead,the wine-dark river to its source,with their sails swollen with the sound of death,filled with the silent noise of death.Death is drawn to soundlike a slipper without a foot, a suit without its wearer,comes to knock with a ring, stoneless and fingerless,comes to shout without a mouth, a tongue, without a throat.Nevertheless its footsteps soundand its clothes echo, hushed like a tree.I do not know, I am ignorant, I hardly seebut it seems to me that its song has the colour of wet violets,violets well used to the earth,since the face of death is green,and the gaze of death greenwith the etched moisture of a violet's leafand its grave colour of exasperated winter.But death goes about the earth also, riding a broomlapping the ground in search of the dead - death is in the broom,it is the tongue of death looking for the dead,the needle of death looking for the thread.Death lies in our beds : in the lazy mattresses, the black

ring with no stone in it, with no finger in it,comes and shouts with no mouth, with no tongue, with no throat.Nevertheless its steps can be heardand its clothing makes a hushed sound, like a tree.I'm not sure, I understand only a little, I can hardly see,but it seems to me that its singing has the color of damp violets,of violets that are at home in the earth,because the face of death is green,and the look death gives is green,with the penetrating dampness of a violet leafand the somber color of embittered winter.But death also goes through the world dressed as a broom,lapping the floor, looking for dead bodies,death is inside the broom,the broom is the tongue of death looking for corpses,it is the needle of death looking for thread.Death is inside the folding cots:it spends its life sleeping on the slow mattresses,in the black blankets, and suddenly breathes out:it blows out a mournful sound that swells the sheets,and the beds go sailing toward a portwhere death is waiting,

How difficult and drunken, how tensed and avid.Cemetery of kisses, there is still fire in your tombs,still the fruited boughs burn, pecked at by birds.Oh the bitten mouth, oh the kissed limbs,oh the hungering teeth, oh the entwined bodies.Oh the mad coupling of hope and forcein which we merged and despaired.And the tenderness, light as water and as flour.And the word scarcely begun on the lips.This was my destiny and in it was my voyage of my longing,and in it my longing fell, in you everything sank! Oh pit of debris, everything fell into you,what sorrow did you not express, in what sorrow are you not drowned! From billow to billow you still called and sang.Standing like a sailor in the prow of a vessel.You still flowered in songs, you still brike the currents.Oh pit of debris, open and bitter well.Pale blind diver, luckless slinger,lost discoverer, in you everything sank! It is the hour of departure, the hard cold hourwhich the night fastens to all the timetables.The rustling belt of the sea girdles the shore.Cold stars heave up, black birds migrate.Deserted like the wharves at dawn.Only tremulous shadow twists in my hands.Oh farther than everything. Oh farther than everything.It is the hour of departure. Oh abandoned one!"", ""poem.author"": ""Pablo Neruda"" }, ""15233"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 15233, ""poem.id"": 15233, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:15:59"", ""poem.title"": ""From – Twenty Poems Of Love"", ""poem.date"": ""1/25/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Pablo Neruda"" }, ""15234"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 15234, ""poem.id"": 15234, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:16:05"", ""poem.title"": ""Drunk As Drunk"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Pablo Neruda"" }, ""15235"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 15235, ""poem.id"": 15235, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:16:08"", ""poem.title"": ""In My Sky At Twilight"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Pablo Neruda"" }, ""15236"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 15236, ""poem.id"": 15236, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:16:12"", ""poem.title"": ""Tonight I Can Write The Saddest Lines"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Pablo Neruda"" }, ""15237"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 15237, ""poem.id"": 15237, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:16:18"", ""poem.title"": ""A Dog Has Died"", ""poem.date"": ""1/13/2003"", ""poem.content"": ""My dog has died.I buried him in the gardennext to a rusted old machine.Some day I'll join him right there,but now he's gone with his shaggy coat,his bad manners and his cold nose,and I, the materialist, who never believedin any promised heaven in the skyfor any human being,I believe in a heaven I'll never enter.Yes, I believe in a heaven for all dogdomwhere my dog waits for my arrivalwaving his fan-like tail in friendship.Ai, I'll not speak of sadness here on earth,of having lost a companionwho was never servile.His friendship for me, like that of a porcupinewithholding its authority,was the friendship of a star, aloof,with no more intimacy than was called for,with no exaggerations:he never climbed all over my clothesfilling me full of his hair or his mange,he never rubbed up against my kneelike other dogs obsessed with sex.No, my dog used to gaze at me,paying me the attention I need,the attention requiredto make a vain person like me understandthat, being a dog, he was wasting time,but, with those eyes so much purer than mine,he'd keep on gazing at mewith a look that reserved for me aloneall his sweet and shaggy life,always near me, never troubling me,and asking nothing.Ai, how many times have I envied his tailas we walked together on the shores of the seain the lonely winter of Isla Negrawhere the wintering birds filled the skyand my hairy dog was jumping aboutfull of the voltage of the sea's movement:my wandering dog, sniffing awaywith his golden tail held high,face to face with the ocean's spray.Joyful, joyful, joyful,as only dogs know how to be happywith only the autonomyof their shameless spirit.There are no good-byes for my dog who has died,and we don't now and never did lie to each other.So now he's gone and I buried him,and that's all there is to it.Translated, from the Spanish, by Alfred Yankauer"", ""poem.author"": ""Pablo Neruda"" }, ""15238"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 15238, ""poem.id"": 15238, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:16:23"", ""poem.title"": ""Sonnet Xvii"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Pablo Neruda"" }, ""15239"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 15239, ""poem.id"": 15239, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:16:28"", ""poem.title"": ""Your Laughter"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Pablo Neruda"" }, ""15240"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 15240, ""poem.id"": 15240, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:16:32"", ""poem.title"": ""Don'T Go Far Off"", ""poem.date"": ""1/13/2003"", ""poem.content"": ""Your browser does not support the audio element."", ""poem.author"": ""Pablo Neruda"" }, ""15241"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 15241, ""poem.id"": 15241, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:16:34"", ""poem.title"": ""I Do Not Love You Except Because I Love You"", ""poem.date"": ""1/13/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Pablo Neruda"" }, ""15242"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 15242, ""poem.id"": 15242, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 02:16:35"", ""poem.title"": ""If You Forget Me"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Pablo Neruda"" } }" 6,"2018-02-28 20:26:14","Emily Dickinson","{ ""201"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 201, ""poem.id"": 201, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-01 03:57:33"", ""poem.title"": ""A Pang is more conspicuous in Spring"", ""poem.date"": ""5/5/2015"", ""poem.content"": ""A Pang is more conspicuous in SpringIn contrast with the things that singNot Birds entirely -

Strange is thy pallor! strange thy dress, Strange, above all, thy length of tress, And this all solemn silentness! The lady sleeps! Oh, may her sleep, Which is enduring, so be deep! Heaven have her in its sacred keep! This chamber changed for one more holy, This bed for one more melancholy, I pray to God that she may lie For ever with unopened eye, While the pale sheeted ghosts go by! My love, she sleeps! Oh, may her sleep As it is lasting, so be deep! Soft may the worms about her creep! Far in the forest, dim and old, For her may some tall vault unfold- Some vault that oft has flung its black And winged panels fluttering back, Triumphant, o'er the crested palls, Of her grand family funerals- Some sepulchre, remote, alone, Against whose portal she hath thrown, In childhood, many an idle stone- Some tomb from out whose sounding door She ne'er shall force an echo more, Thrilling to think, poor child of sin!

And I rest so composedly, Now, in my bed That any beholder Might fancy me dead- Might start at beholding me, Thinking me dead.

And ah! let it never Be foolishly said That my room it is gloomy And narrow my bed; For man never slept In a different bed- And, to sleep, you must slumber In just such a bed. My tantalized spirit Here blandly reposes, Forgetting, or never Regretting its roses- Its old agitations Of myrtles and roses: For now, while so quietly Lying, it fancies A holier odor About it, of pansies- A rosemary odor, Commingled with pansies- With rue and the beautiful Puritan pansies. And so it lies happily, Bathing in many A dream of the truth And the beauty of Annie- Drowned in a bath Of the tresses of Annie. She tenderly kissed me, She fondly caressed, And then I fell gently To sleep on her breast- Deeply to sleep From the heaven of her breast. When the light was extinguished, She covered me warm, And she prayed to the angels To keep me from harm- To the queen of the angels To shield me from harm. And I lie so composedly, Now, in my bed, (Knowing her love) That you fancy me dead- And I rest so contentedly, Now, in my bed, (With her love at my breast) That you fancy me dead- That you shudder to look at me, Thinking me dead.

'Twas a sweet time for Nesace- for there Her world lay lolling on the golden air, Near four bright suns- a temporary rest- An oasis in desert of the blest. Away- away- 'mid seas of rays that roll Empyrean splendor o'er th' unchained soul- The soul that scarce (the billows are so dense) Can struggle to its destin'd eminence,- To distant spheres, from time to time, she rode And late to ours, the favor'd one of God- But, now, the ruler of an anchor'd realm, She throws aside the sceptre- leaves the helm, And, amid incense and high spiritual hymns, Laves in quadruple light her angel limbs. Now happiest, loveliest in yon lovely Earth, Whence sprang the 'Idea of Beauty' into birth, (Falling in wreaths thro' many a startled star, Like woman's hair 'mid pearls, until, afar, It lit on hills Achaian, and there dwelt) She looked into Infinity- and knelt. Rich clouds, for canopies, about her curled- Fit emblems of the model of her world- Seen but in beauty- not impeding sight Of other beauty glittering thro' the light- A wreath that twined each starry form around, And all the opal'd air in color bound. All hurriedly she knelt upon a bed Of flowers: of lilies such as rear'd the head On the fair Capo Deucato, and sprang So eagerly around about to hang Upon the flying footsteps of- deep pride- Of her who lov'd a mortal- and so died. The Sephalica, budding with young bees, Upreared its purple stem around her knees:- And gemmy flower, of Trebizond misnam'd- Inmate of highest stars, where erst it sham'd All other loveliness:- its honied dew (The fabled nectar that the heathen knew) Deliriously sweet, was dropp'd from Heaven, And fell on gardens of the unforgiven In Trebizond- and on a sunny flower So like its own above that, to this hour, It still remaineth, torturing the bee With madness, and unwonted reverie: In Heaven, and all its environs, the leaf And blossom of the fairy plant in grief Disconsolate linger- grief that hangs her head, Repenting follies that full long have Red, Heaving her white breast to the balmy air, Like guilty beauty, chasten'd and more fair: Nyctanthes too, as sacred as the light She fears to perfume, perfuming the night: And Clytia, pondering between many a sun, While pettish tears adown her petals run: And that aspiring flower that sprang on Earth, And died, ere scarce exalted into birth, Bursting its odorous heart in spirit to wing Its way to Heaven, from garden of a king: And Valisnerian lotus, thither flown' From struggling with the waters of the Rhone: And thy most lovely purple perfume, Zante! Isola d'oro!- Fior di Levante! And the Nelumbo bud that floats for ever With Indian Cupid down the holy river- Fair flowers, and fairy! to whose care is given To bear the Goddess' song, in odors, up to Heaven: 'Spirit! that dwellest where, In the deep sky, The terrible and fair, In beauty vie! Beyond the line of blue- The boundary of the star Which turneth at the view Of thy barrier and thy bar- Of the barrier overgone By the comets who were cast From their pride and from their throne To be drudges till the last- To be carriers of fire (The red fire of their heart) With speed that may not tire And with pain that shall not part- Who livest- that we know- In Eternity- we feel- But the shadow of whose brow What spirit shall reveal? Tho' the beings whom thy Nesace, Thy messenger hath known Have dream'd for thy Infinity A model of their own- Thy will is done, O God! The star hath ridden high Thro' many a tempest, but she rode Beneath thy burning eye; And here, in thought, to thee- In thought that can alone Ascend thy empire and so be A partner of thy throne- By winged Fantasy, My embassy is given, Till secrecy shall knowledge be In the environs of Heaven.' She ceas'd- and buried then her burning cheek Abash'd, amid the lilies there, to seek A shelter from the fervor of His eye; For the stars trembled at the Deity. She stirr'd not- breath'd not- for a voice was there How solemnly pervading the calm air! A sound of silence on the startled ear Which dreamy poets name 'the music of the sphere.' Ours is a world of words: Quiet we call 'Silence'- which is the merest word of all. All Nature speaks, and ev'n ideal things Flap shadowy sounds from visionary wings- But ah! not so when, thus, in realms on high The eternal voice of God is passing by, And the red winds are withering in the sky:- 'What tho 'in worlds which sightless cycles run, Linked to a little system, and one sun- Where all my love is folly and the crowd Still think my terrors but the thunder cloud, The storm, the earthquake, and the ocean-wrath- (Ah! will they cross me in my angrier path?) What tho' in worlds which own a single sun The sands of Time grow dimmer as they run, Yet thine is my resplendency, so given To bear my secrets thro' the upper Heaven! Leave tenantless thy crystal home, and fly, With all thy train, athwart the moony sky- Apart- like fire-flies in Sicilian night, And wing to other worlds another light! Divulge the secrets of thy embassy To the proud orbs that twinkle- and so be To ev'ry heart a barrier and a ban Lest the stars totter in the guilt of man!' Up rose the maiden in the yellow night, The single-mooned eve!- on Earth we plight Our faith to one love- and one moon adore- The birth-place of young Beauty had no more. As sprang that yellow star from downy hours Up rose the maiden from her shrine of flowers, And bent o'er sheeny mountains and dim plain Her way, but left not yet her Therasaean reign. PART II High on a mountain of enamell'd head- Such as the drowsy shepherd on his bed Of giant pasturage lying at his ease, Raising his heavy eyelid, starts and sees With many a mutter'd 'hope to be forgiven' What time the moon is quadrated in Heaven- Of rosy head that, towering far away Into the sunlit ether, caught the ray Of sunken suns at eve- at noon of night, While the moon danc'd with the fair stranger light- Uprear'd upon such height arose a pile Of gorgeous columns on th' unburthen'd air, Flashing from Parian marble that twin smile Far down upon the wave that sparkled there, And nursled the young mountain in its lair. Of molten stars their pavement, such as fall Thro' the ebon air, besilvering the pall Of their own dissolution, while they die- Adorning then the dwellings of the sky. A dome, by linked light from Heaven let down, Sat gently on these columns as a crown- A window of one circular diamond, there, Look'd out above into the purple air, And rays from God shot down that meteor chain And hallow'd all the beauty twice again, Save, when, between th' empyrean and that ring, Some eager spirit Flapp'd his dusky wing. But on the pillars Seraph eyes have seen The dimness of this world: that greyish green That Nature loves the best Beauty's grave Lurk'd in each cornice, round each architrave- And every sculptur'd cherub thereabout That from his marble dwelling peered out, Seem'd earthly in the shadow of his niche- Achaian statues in a world so rich! Friezes from Tadmor and Persepolis- From Balbec, and the stilly, clear abyss Of beautiful Gomorrah! O, the wave Is now upon thee- but too late to save! Sound loves to revel in a summer night: Witness the murmur of the grey twilight That stole upon the ear, in Eyraco, Of many a wild star-gazer long ago- That stealeth ever on the ear of him Who, musing, gazeth on the distance dim, And sees the darkness coming as a cloud- Is not its form- its voice- most palpable and loud? But what is this?- it cometh, and it brings A music with it- 'tis the rush of wings- A pause- and then a sweeping, falling strain And Nesace is in her halls again. From the wild energy of wanton haste Her cheeks were flushing, and her lips apart; And zone that clung around her gentle waist Had burst beneath the heaving of her heart. Within the centre of that hall to breathe, She paused and panted, Zanthe! all beneath, The fairy light that kiss'd her golden hair And long'd to rest, yet could but sparkle there. Young flowers were whispering in melody To happy flowers that night- and tree to tree; Fountains were gushing music as they fell In many a star-lit grove, or moon-lit dell; Yet silence came upon material things- Fair flowers, bright waterfalls and angel wings- And sound alone that from the spirit sprang Bore burthen to the charm the maiden sang: ''Neath the blue-bell or streamer- Or tufted wild spray That keeps, from the dreamer, The moonbeam away- Bright beings! that ponder, With half closing eyes, On the stars which your wonder Hath drawn from the skies, Till they glance thro' the shade, and Come down to your brow Like- eyes of the maiden Who calls on you now- Arise! from your dreaming In violet bowers, To duty beseeming These star-litten hours- And shake from your tresses Encumber'd with dew The breath of those kisses That cumber them too- (O! how, without you, Love! Could angels be blest?) Those kisses of true Love That lull'd ye to rest! Up!- shake from your wing Each hindering thing: The dew of the night- It would weigh down your flight And true love caresses- O, leave them apart! They are light on the tresses, But lead on the heart. Ligeia! Ligeia! My beautiful one! Whose harshest idea Will to melody run, O! is it thy will On the breezes to toss? Or, capriciously still, Like the lone Albatros, Incumbent on night (As she on the air) To keep watch with delight On the harmony there? Ligeia! wherever Thy image may be, No magic shall sever Thy music from thee. Thou hast bound many eyes In a dreamy sleep- But the strains still arise Which thy vigilance keep- The sound of the rain, Which leaps down to the flower- And dances again In the rhythm of the shower- The murmur that springs From the growing of grass Are the music of things- But are modell'd, alas!- Away, then, my dearest, Oh! hie thee away To the springs that lie clearest Beneath the moon-ray- To lone lake that smiles, In its dream of deep rest, At the many star-isles That enjewel its breast- Where wild flowers, creeping, Have mingled their shade, On its margin is sleeping Full many a maid- Some have left the cool glade, and Have slept with the bee- Arouse them, my maiden, On moorland and lea- Go! breathe on their slumber, All softly in ear, Thy musical number They slumbered to hear- For what can awaken An angel so soon, Whose sleep hath been taken Beneath the cold moon, As the spell which no slumber Of witchery may test, The rhythmical number Which lull'd him to rest?' Spirits in wing, and angels to the view, A thousand seraphs burst th' Empyrean thro', Young dreams still hovering on their drowsy flight- Seraphs in all but 'Knowledge,' the keen light That fell, refracted, thro' thy bounds, afar, O Death! from eye of God upon that star: Sweet was that error- sweeter still that death- Sweet was that error- even with us the breath Of Science dims the mirror of our joy- To them 'twere the Simoom, and would destroy- For what (to them) availeth it to know That Truth is Falsehood- or that Bliss is Woe? Sweet was their death- with them to die was rife With the last ecstasy of satiate life- Beyond that death no immortality- But sleep that pondereth and is not 'to be'!- And there- oh! may my weary spirit dwell- Apart from Heaven's Eternity- and yet how far from Hell! What guilty spirit, in what shrubbery dim, Heard not the stirring summons of that hymn? But two: they fell: for Heaven no grace imparts To those who hear not for their beating hearts. A maiden-angel and her seraph-lover- O! where (and ye may seek the wide skies over) Was Love, the blind, near sober Duty known? Unguided Love hath fallen- 'mid 'tears of perfect moan.' He was a goodly spirit- he who fell: A wanderer by moss-y-mantled well- A gazer on the lights that shine above- A dreamer in the moonbeam by his love: What wonder? for each star is eye-like there, And looks so sweetly down on Beauty's hair- And they, and ev'ry mossy spring were holy To his love-haunted heart and melancholy. The night had found (to him a night of woe) Upon a mountain crag, young Angelo- Beetling it bends athwart the solemn sky, And scowls on starry worlds that down beneath it lie. Here sat he with his love- his dark eye bent With eagle gaze along the firmament: Now turn'd it upon her- but ever then It trembled to the orb of EARTH again. 'Ianthe, dearest, see- how dim that ray! How lovely 'tis to look so far away! She seem'd not thus upon that autumn eve I left her gorgeous halls- nor mourn'd to leave. That eve- that eve- I should remember well- The sun-ray dropp'd in Lemnos, with a spell On th' arabesque carving of a gilded hall Wherein I sate, and on the draperied wall- And on my eyelids- O the heavy light! How drowsily it weigh'd them into night! On flowers, before, and mist, and love they ran With Persian Saadi in his Gulistan: But O that light!- I slumber'd- Death, the while, Stole o'er my senses in that lovely isle So softly that no single silken hair Awoke that slept- or knew that he was there. 'The last spot of Earth's orb I trod upon Was a proud temple call'd the Parthenon; More beauty clung around her column'd wall Than ev'n thy glowing bosom beats withal, And when old Time my wing did disenthral Thence sprang I- as the eagle from his tower, And years I left behind me in an hour. What time upon her airy bounds I hung, One half the garden of her globe was flung Unrolling as a chart unto my view- Tenantless cities of the desert too! Ianthe, beauty crowded on me then, And half I wish'd to be again of men.' 'My Angelo! and why of them to be? A brighter dwelling-place is here for thee- And greener fields than in yon world above, And woman's loveliness- and passionate love.' 'But, list, Ianthe! when the air so soft Fail'd, as my pennon'd spirit leapt aloft, Perhaps my brain grew dizzy- but the world I left so late was into chaos hurl'd- Sprang from her station, on the winds apart. And roll'd, a flame, the fiery Heaven athwart. Methought, my sweet one, then I ceased to soar And fell- not swiftly as I rose before, But with a downward, tremulous motion thro' Light, brazen rays, this golden star unto! Nor long the measure of my falling hours, For nearest of all stars was thine to ours- Dread star! that came, amid a night of mirth, A red Daedalion on the timid Earth.' 'We came- and to thy Earth- but not to us Be given our lady's bidding to discuss: We came, my love; around, above, below, Gay fire-fly of the night we come and go, Nor ask a reason save the angel-nod She grants to us, as granted by her God- But, Angelo, than thine grey Time unfurl'd Never his fairy wing O'er fairier world! Dim was its little disk, and angel eyes Alone could see the phantom in the skies, When first Al Aaraaf knew her course to be Headlong thitherward o'er the starry sea- But when its glory swell'd upon the sky, As glowing Beauty's bust beneath man's eye, We paused before the heritage of men, And thy star trembled- as doth Beauty then!' Thus, in discourse, the lovers whiled away The night that waned and waned and brought no day. They fell: for Heaven to them no hope imparts Who hear not for the beating of their hearts."", ""poem.author"": ""Edgar Allan Poe"" }, ""16487"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16487, ""poem.id"": 16487, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 03:39:29"", ""poem.title"": ""Elizabeth"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Edgar Allan Poe"" }, ""16488"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16488, ""poem.id"": 16488, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 03:39:33"", ""poem.title"": ""The City In The Sea"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": ""Lo! Death has reared himself a throne In a strange city lying alone Far down within the dim West, Where the good and the bad and the worst and the best Have gone to their eternal rest. There shrines and palaces and towers (Time-eaten towers that tremble not!) Resemble nothing that is ours. Around, by lifting winds forgot, Resignedly beneath the sky The melancholy waters he. No rays from the holy heaven come down On the long night-time of that town; But light from out the lurid sea Streams up the turrets silently- Gleams up the pinnacles far and free- Up domes- up spires- up kingly halls- Up fanes- up Babylon-like walls- Up shadowy long-forgotten bowers Of sculptured ivy and stone flowers- Up many and many a marvellous shrine Whose wreathed friezes intertwine The viol, the violet, and the vine. Resignedly beneath the sky The melancholy waters lie. So blend the turrets and shadows there That all seem pendulous in air, While from a proud tower in the town Death looks gigantically down. There open fanes and gaping graves Yawn level with the luminous waves; But not the riches there that lie In each idol's diamond eye- Not the gaily-jewelled dead Tempt the waters from their bed; For no ripples curl, alas! Along that wilderness of glass- No swellings tell that winds may be Upon some far-off happier sea- No heavings hint that winds have been On seas less hideously serene. But lo, a stir is in the air! The wave- there is a movement there! As if the towers had thrust aside, In slightly sinking, the dull tide- As if their tops had feebly given A void within the filmy Heaven. The waves have now a redder glow- The hours are breathing faint and low- And when, amid no earthly moans, Down, down that town shall settle hence, Hell, rising from a thousand thrones, Shall do it reverence."", ""poem.author"": ""Edgar Allan Poe"" }, ""16489"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16489, ""poem.id"": 16489, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 03:39:37"", ""poem.title"": ""Spirits Of The Dead"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Edgar Allan Poe"" }, ""16490"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16490, ""poem.id"": 16490, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 03:39:43"", ""poem.title"": ""The Bells"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": ""I Hear the sledges with the bells- Silver bells!

II Hear the mellow wedding bells, Golden bells! What a world of happiness their harmony foretells! Through the balmy air of night How they ring out their delight! From the molten-golden notes, And an in tune, What a liquid ditty floats To the turtle-dove that listens, while she gloats On the moon! Oh, from out the sounding cells, What a gush of euphony voluminously wells! How it swells! How it dwells On the Future! how it tells Of the rapture that impels To the swinging and the ringing Of the bells, bells, bells, Of the bells, bells, bells,bells, Bells, bells, bells- To the rhyming and the chiming of the bells! III Hear the loud alarum bells- Brazen bells! What a tale of terror, now, their turbulency tells! In the startled ear of night How they scream out their affright! Too much horrified to speak, They can only shriek, shriek, Out of tune, In a clamorous appealing to the mercy of the fire, In a mad expostulation with the deaf and frantic fire, Leaping higher, higher, higher, With a desperate desire, And a resolute endeavor, Now- now to sit or never, By the side of the pale-faced moon. Oh, the bells, bells, bells! What a tale their terror tells Of Despair! How they clang, and clash, and roar! What a horror they outpour On the bosom of the palpitating air! Yet the ear it fully knows, By the twanging, And the clanging, How the danger ebbs and flows: Yet the ear distinctly tells, In the jangling, And the wrangling, How the danger sinks and swells, By the sinking or the swelling in the anger of the bells- Of the bells- Of the bells, bells, bells,bells, Bells, bells, bells- In the clamor and the clangor of the bells! IV Hear the tolling of the bells- Iron Bells! What a world of solemn thought their monody compels! In the silence of the night, How we shiver with affright At the melancholy menace of their tone! For every sound that floats From the rust within their throats Is a groan. And the people- ah, the people- They that dwell up in the steeple, All Alone And who, tolling, tolling, tolling, In that muffled monotone, Feel a glory in so rolling On the human heart a stone- They are neither man nor woman- They are neither brute nor human- They are Ghouls: And their king it is who tolls; And he rolls, rolls, rolls, Rolls A paean from the bells! And his merry bosom swells With the paean of the bells! And he dances, and he yells; Keeping time, time, time, In a sort of Runic rhyme, To the paean of the bells- Of the bells: Keeping time, time, time, In a sort of Runic rhyme, To the throbbing of the bells- Of the bells, bells, bells- To the sobbing of the bells; Keeping time, time, time, As he knells, knells, knells, In a happy Runic rhyme, To the rolling of the bells- Of the bells, bells, bells: To the tolling of the bells, Of the bells, bells, bells, bells- Bells, bells, bells- To the moaning and the groaning of the bells."", ""poem.author"": ""Edgar Allan Poe"" }, ""16491"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16491, ""poem.id"": 16491, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 03:39:48"", ""poem.title"": ""An Enigma"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Edgar Allan Poe"" }, ""16492"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16492, ""poem.id"": 16492, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 03:39:54"", ""poem.title"": ""Bridal Ballad"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Edgar Allan Poe"" }, ""16493"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16493, ""poem.id"": 16493, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 03:39:59"", ""poem.title"": ""A Valentine"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Edgar Allan Poe"" }, ""16494"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16494, ""poem.id"": 16494, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 03:40:04"", ""poem.title"": ""Eulalie"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Edgar Allan Poe"" }, ""16495"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16495, ""poem.id"": 16495, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 03:40:09"", ""poem.title"": ""Dreamland"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": ""By a route obscure and lonely, Haunted by ill angels only, Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT, On a black throne reigns upright, I have reached these lands but newly From an ultimate dim Thule- From a wild clime that lieth, sublime, Out of SPACE- out of TIME.

''Tis some visitor,' I muttered, 'tapping at my chamber door- Only this, and nothing more.' Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. Eagerly I wished the morrow;- vainly I had sought to borrow From my books surcease of sorrow- sorrow for the lost Lenore- For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore- Nameless here for evermore. And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain Thrilled me- filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before; So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating, ''Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door- Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;- This it is, and nothing more.' Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer, 'Sir,' said I, 'or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore; But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door, That I scarce was sure I heard you'- here I opened wide the door;- Darkness there, and nothing more. Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before; But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token, And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, 'Lenore!' This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, 'Lenore!'- Merely this, and nothing more. Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning, Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before. 'Surely,' said I, 'surely that is something at my window lattice: Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore- Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore;- 'Tis the wind and nothing more.' Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter, In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore; Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he; But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door- Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door- Perched, and sat, and nothing more. Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling, By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore. 'Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,' I said, 'art sure no craven, Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the Nightly shore- Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!' Quoth the Raven, 'Nevermore.' Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly, Though its answer little meaning- little relevancy bore; For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being Ever yet was blest with seeing bird above his chamber door- Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door, With such name as 'Nevermore.' But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour. Nothing further then he uttered- not a feather then he fluttered- Till I scarcely more than muttered, 'other friends have flown before- On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before.' Then the bird said, 'Nevermore.' Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken, 'Doubtless,' said I, 'what it utters is its only stock and store, Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore- Till the dirges of his Hope that melancholy burden bore Of 'Never- nevermore'.' But the Raven still beguiling all my fancy into smiling, Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, and bust and door; Then upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore- What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt and ominous bird of yore Meant in croaking 'Nevermore.' This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core; This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining On the cushion's velvet lining that the lamplight gloated o'er, But whose velvet violet lining with the lamplight gloating o'er, She shall press, ah, nevermore! Then methought the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer Swung by Seraphim whose footfalls tinkled on the tufted floor. 'Wretch,' I cried, 'thy God hath lent thee- by these angels he hath sent thee Respite- respite and nepenthe, from thy memories of Lenore! Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!' Quoth the Raven, 'Nevermore.' 'Prophet!' said I, 'thing of evil!- prophet still, if bird or devil!- Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore, Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted- On this home by horror haunted- tell me truly, I implore- Is there- is there balm in Gilead?- tell me- tell me, I implore!' Quoth the Raven, 'Nevermore.' 'Prophet!' said I, 'thing of evil- prophet still, if bird or devil! By that Heaven that bends above us- by that God we both adore- Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn, It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore- Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore.' Quoth the Raven, 'Nevermore.' 'Be that word our sign in parting, bird or fiend,' I shrieked, upstarting- 'Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore! Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken! Leave my loneliness unbroken!- quit the bust above my door! Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!' Quoth the Raven, 'Nevermore.' And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted- nevermore!"", ""poem.author"": ""Edgar Allan Poe"" }, ""16501"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16501, ""poem.id"": 16501, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 03:40:34"", ""poem.title"": ""Alone"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Edgar Allan Poe"" }, ""16502"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16502, ""poem.id"": 16502, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 03:40:39"", ""poem.title"": ""A Dream Within A Dream"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Edgar Allan Poe"" }, ""16503"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16503, ""poem.id"": 16503, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 03:40:42"", ""poem.title"": ""Annabel Lee"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": ""Your browser does not support the audio element."", ""poem.author"": ""Edgar Allan Poe"" } }" 8,"2018-02-28 20:28:35","William Wordsworth","{ ""281"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 281, ""poem.id"": 281, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-01 04:03:42"", ""poem.title"": ""Descriptive Sketches Taken During A Pedestrian Tour Among The Alps"", ""poem.date"": ""7/27/2015"", ""poem.content"": ""WERE there, below, a spot of holy ground Where from distress a refuge might be found, And solitude prepare the soul for heaven; Sure, nature's God that spot to man had given Where falls the purple morning far and wide In flakes of light upon the mountain side; Where with loud voice the power of water shakes The leafy wood, or sleeps in quiet lakes. Yet not unrecompensed the man shall roam, Who at the call of summer quits his home, And plods through some wide realm o'er vale and height, Though seeking only holiday delight; At least, not owning to himself an aim To which the sage would give a prouder name. No gains too cheaply earned his fancy cloy, Though every passing zephyr whispers joy; Brisk toil, alternating with ready ease, Feeds the clear current of his sympathies. For him sod-seats the cottage-door adorn; And peeps the far-off spire, his evening bourn! Dear is the forest frowning o'er his head, And dear the velvet green-sward to his tread: Moves there a cloud o'er mid-day's flaming eye? Upward he looks- 'and calls it luxury:' Kind Nature's charities his steps attend; In every babbling brook he finds a friend; While chastening thoughts of sweetest use, bestowed By wisdom, moralise his pensive road. Host of his welcome inn, the noon-tide bower, To his spare meal he calls the passing poor; He views the sun uplift his golden fire, Or sink, with heart alive like Memnon's lyre; Blesses the moon that comes with kindly ray, To light him shaken by his rugged way. Back from his sight no bashful children steal; He sits a brother at the cottage-meal; His humble looks no shy restraint impart; Around him plays at will the virgin heart. While unsuspended wheels the village dance, The maidens eye him with enquiring glance, Much wondering by what fit of crazing care, Or desperate love, bewildered, he came there. A hope, that prudence could not then approve, That clung to Nature with a truant's love, O'er Gallia's wastes of corn my footsteps led; Her files of road-elms, high above my head In long-drawn vista, rustling in the breeze; Or where her pathways straggle as they please By lonely farms and secret villages. But lo! the Alps ascending white in air, Toy with the sun and glitter from afar. And now, emerging from the forest's gloom, I greet thee, Chartreuse, while I mourn thy doom. Whither is fled that Power whose frown severe Awed sober Reason till she crouched in fear? 'That' Silence, once in deathlike fetters bound, Chains that were loosened only by the sound Of holy rites chanted in measured round? - The voice of blasphemy the fane alarms, The cloister startles at the gleam of arms. The thundering tube the aged angler hears, Bent o'er the groaning flood that sweeps away his tears. Cloud-piercing pine-trees nod their troubled heads, Spires, rocks, and lawns a browner night o'erspreads; Strong terror checks the female peasant's sighs, And start the astonished shades at female eyes. From Bruno's forest screams the affrighted jay, And slow the insulted eagle wheels away. A viewless flight of laughing Demons mock The Cross, by angels planted on the aerial rock. The 'parting Genius' sighs with hollow breath Along the mystic streams of Life and Death. Swelling the outcry dull, that long resounds Portentous through her old woods' trackless bounds, Vallombre, 'mid her falling fanes, deplores, For ever broke, the sabbath of her bowers. More pleased, my foot the hidden margin roves Of Como, bosomed deep in chestnut groves. No meadows thrown between, the giddy steeps Tower, bare or sylvan, from the narrow deeps. - To towns, whose shades of no rude noise complain, From ringing team apart and grating wain- To flat-roofed towns, that touch the water's bound, Or lurk in woody sunless glens profound, Or, from the bending rocks, obtrusive cling, And o'er the whitened wave their shadows fling- The pathway leads, as round the steeps it twines; And Silence loves its purple roof of vines. The loitering traveller hence, at evening, sees From rock-hewn steps the sail between the trees; Or marks, 'mid opening cliffs, fair dark-eyed maids Tend the small harvest of their garden glades; Or stops the solemn mountain-shades to view Stretch o'er the pictured mirror broad and blue, And track the yellow lights from steep to steep, As up the opposing hills they slowly creep. Aloft, here, half a village shines, arrayed In golden light; half hides itself in shade: While, from amid the darkened roofs, the spire, Restlessly flashing, seems to mount like fire: There, all unshaded, blazing forests throw Rich golden verdure on the lake below. Slow glides the sail along the illumined shore, And steals into the shade the lazy oar; Soft bosoms breathe around contagious sighs, And amorous music on the water dies. How blest, delicious scene! the eye that greets Thy open beauties, or thy lone retreats; Beholds the unwearied sweep of wood that scales Thy cliffs; the endless waters of thy vales; Thy lowly cots that sprinkle all the shore, Each with its household boat beside the door; Thy torrents shooting from the clear-blue sky; Thy towns, that cleave, like swallows' nests, on high; That glimmer hoar in eve's last light, descried Dim from the twilight water's shaggy side, Whence lutes and voices down the enchanted woods Steal, and compose the oar-forgotten floods; Thy lake, that, streaked or dappled, blue or grey, 'Mid smoking woods gleams hid from morning's ray Slow-travelling down the western hills, to enfold Its green-tinged margin in a blaze of gold; Thy glittering steeples, whence the matin bell Calls forth the woodman from his desert cell, And quickens the blithe sound of oars that pass Along the steaming lake, to early mass. But now farewell to each and all- adieu To every charm, and last and chief to you, Ye lovely maidens that in noontide shade Rest near your little plots of wheaten glade; To all that binds the soul in powerless trance, Lip-dewing song, and ringlet-tossing dance; Where sparkling eyes and breaking smiles illume The sylvan cabin's lute-enlivened gloom. - Alas! the very murmur of the streams Breathes o'er the failing soul voluptuous dreams, While Slavery, forcing the sunk mind to dwell On joys that might disgrace the captive's cell, Her shameless timbrel shakes on Como's marge, And lures from bay to bay the vocal barge. Yet are thy softer arts with power indued To soothe and cheer the poor man's solitude. By silent cottage-doors, the peasant's home Left vacant for the day, I loved to roam. But once I pierced the mazes of a wood In which a cabin undeserted stood; There an old man an olden measure scanned On a rude viol touched with withered hand. As lambs or fawns in April clustering lie Under a hoary oak's thin canopy, Stretched at his feet, with stedfast upward eye, His children's children listened to the sound; - A Hermit with his family around! But let us hence; for fair Locarno smiles Embowered in walnut slopes and citron isles: Or seek at eve the banks of Tusa's stream, Where, 'mid dim towers and woods, her waters gleam. From the bright wave, in solemn gloom, retire The dull-red steeps, and, darkening still, aspire To where afar rich orange lustres glow Round undistinguished clouds, and rocks, and snow: Or, led where Via Mala's chasms confine The indignant waters of the infant Rhine, Hang o'er the abyss, whose else impervious gloom His burning eyes with fearful light illume. The mind condemned, without reprieve, to go O'er life's long deserts with its charge of woe, With sad congratulation joins the train Where beasts and men together o'er the plain Move on- a mighty caravan of pain: Hope, strength, and courage, social suffering brings, Freshening the wilderness with shades and springs. - There be whose lot far otherwise is cast: Sole human tenant of the piny waste, By choice or doom a gipsy wanders here, A nursling babe her only comforter; Lo, where she sits beneath yon shaggy rock, A cowering shape half hid in curling smoke! When lightning among clouds and mountain-snows Predominates, and darkness comes and goes, And the fierce torrent, at the flashes broad Starts, like a horse, beside the glaring road- She seeks a covert from the battering shower In the roofed bridge; a the bridge, ill that dread hour, Itself all trembling at the torrent's power. Nor is she more at ease on some 'still' night, When not a star supplies the comfort of its light; Only the waning moon hangs dull and red Above a melancholy mountain's head, Then sets. In total gloom the Vagrant sighs, Stoops her sick head, and shuts her weary eyes; Or on her fingers counts the distant clock, Or, to the drowsy crow of midnight cock, Listens, or quakes while from the forest's gulf Howls near and nearer yet the famished wolf. From the green vale of Urseren smooth and wide Descend we now, the maddened Reuss our guide; By rocks that, shutting out the blessed day, Cling tremblingly to rocks as loose as they; By cells upon whose image, while he prays, The kneeling peasant scarcely dares to gaze; By many a votive death-cross planted near, And watered duly with the pious tear, That faded silent from the upward eye Unmoved with each rude form of peril nigh; Fixed on the anchor left by Him who saves Alike in whelming snows, and roaring waves. But soon a peopled region on the sight Opens- a little world of calm delight; Where mists, suspended on the expiring gale, Spread rooflike o'er the deep secluded vale, And beams of evening slipping in between, Gently illuminate a sober scene:- Here, on the brown wood-cottages they sleep, There, over rock or sloping pasture creep. On as we journey, in clear view displayed, The still vale lengthens underneath its shade Of low-hung vapour: on the freshened mead The green light sparkles; - the dim bowers recede. While pastoral pipes and streams the landscape lull, And bells of passing mules that tinkle dull, In solemn shapes before the admiring eye Dilated hang the misty pines on high, Huge convent domes with pinnacles and towers, And antique castles seen through gleamy showers. From such romantic dreams, my soul, awake! To sterner pleasure, where, by Uri's lake In Nature's pristine majesty outspread, Winds neither road nor path for foot to tread: The rocks rise naked as a wall, or stretch Far o'er the water, hung with groves of beech; Aerial pines from loftier steeps ascend, Nor stop but where creation seems to end. Yet here and there, if mid the savage scene Appears a scanty plot of smiling green, Up from the lake a zigzag path will creep To reach a small wood-hut hung boldly on the steep, - Before those thresholds (never can they know The face of traveller passing to and fro,) No peasant leans upon his pole, to tell For whom at morning tolled the funeral bell; Their watch-dog ne'er his angry bark foregoes, Touched by the beggar's moan of human woes; The shady porch ne'er offered a cool seat To pilgrims overcome by summer's heat. Yet thither the world's business finds its way At times, and tales unsought beguile the day, And 'there' are those fond thoughts which Solitude, However stern, is powerless to exclude. There doth the maiden watch her lover's sail Approaching, and upbraid the tardy gale; At midnight listens till his parting oar, And its last echo, can be heard no more. And what if ospreys, cormorants, herons, cry Amid tempestuous vapours driving by, Or hovering over wastes too bleak to rear That common growth of earth, the foodful ear; Where the green apple shrivels on the spray, And pines the unripened pear in summer's kindliest ray; Contentment shares the desolate domain With Independence, child of high Disdain. Exulting 'mid the winter of the skies, Shy as the jealous chamois, Freedom flies, And grasps by fits her sword, and often eyes; And sometimes, as from rock to rock she bounds The Patriot nymph starts at imagined sounds, And, wildly pausing, oft she hangs aghast, Whether some old Swiss air hath checked her haste Or thrill of Spartan fife is caught between the blast. Swoln with incessant rains from hour to hour, All day the floods a deepening murmur pour: The sky is veiled, and every cheerful sight: Dark is the region as with coming night; But what a sudden burst of overpowering light! Triumphant on the bosom of the storm, Glances the wheeling eagle's glorious form! Eastward, in long perspective glittering, shine The wood-crowned cliffs that o'er the lake recline; Those lofty cliffs a hundred streams unfold, At once to pillars turned that flame with gold: Behind his sail the peasant shrinks, to shun The 'west', that burns like one dilated sun, A crucible of mighty compass, felt By mountains, glowing till they seem to melt. But, lo! the boatman, overawed, before The pictured fane of Tell suspends his oar; Confused the Marathonian tale appears, While his eyes sparkle with heroic tears. And who, that walks where men of ancient days Have wrought with godlike arm the deeds of praise, Feels not the spirit of the place control, Or rouse and agitate his labouring soul? Say, who, by thinking on Canadian hills, Or wild Aosta lulled by Alpine rills, On Zutphen's plain; or on that highland dell, Through which rough Garry cleaves his way, can tell What high resolves exalt the tenderest thought Of him whom passion rivets to the spot, Where breathed the gale that caught Wolfe's happiest sigh, And the last sunbeam fell on Bayard's eye; Where bleeding Sidney from the cup retired, And glad Dundee in 'faint huzzas' expired? But now with other mind I stand alone Upon the summit of this naked cone, And watch the fearless chamois-hunter chase His prey, through tracts abrupt of desolate space, Through vacant worlds where Nature never gave A brook to murmur or a bough to wave, Which unsubstantial Phantoms sacred keep; Thro' worlds where Life, and Voice, and Motion sleep; Where silent Hours their deathlike sway extend, Save when the avalanche breaks loose, to rend Its way with uproar, till the ruin, drowned In some dense wood or gulf of snow profound, Mocks the dull ear of Time with deaf abortive sound. - 'Tis his, while wandering on from height to height, To see a planet's pomp and steady light In the least star of scarce-appearing night; While the pale moon moves near him, on the bound Of ether, shining with diminished round, And far and wide the icy summits blaze, Rejoicing in the glory of her rays: To him the day-star glitters small and bright, Shorn of its beams, insufferably white, And he can look beyond the sun, and view Those fast-receding depths of sable blue Flying till vision can no more pursue! - At once bewildering mists around him close, And cold and hunger are his least of woes; The Demon of the snow, with angry roar Descending, shuts for aye his prison door. Soon with despair's whole weight his spirits sink; Bread has he none, the snow must be his drink; And, ere his eyes can close upon the day, The eagle of the Alps o'ershades her prey. Now couch thyself where, heard with fear afar, Thunders through echoing pines the headlong Aar; Or rather stay to taste the mild delights Of pensive Underwalden's pastoral heights. - Is there who 'mid these awful wilds has seen The native Genii walk the mountain green? Or heard, while other worlds their charms reveal, Soft music o'er the aerial summit steal? While o'er the desert, answering every close, Rich steam of sweetest perfume comes and goes. - And sure there is a secret Power that reigns Here, where no trace of man the spot profanes, Nought but the 'chalets', flat and bare, on high Suspended 'mid the quiet of the sky; Or distant herds that pasturing upward creep, And, not untended, climb the dangerous steep. How still! no irreligious sound or sight Rouses the soul from her severe delight. An idle voice the sabbath region fills Of Deep that calls to Deep across the hills, And with that voice accords the soothing sound Of drowsy bells, for ever tinkling round; Faint wail of eagle melting into blue Beneath the cliffs, and pine-woods' steady 'sugh'; The solitary heifer's deepened low; Or rumbling, heard remote, of falling snow. All motions, sounds, and voices, far and nigh, Blend in a music of tranquillity; Save when, a stranger seen below, the boy Shouts from the echoing hills with savage joy. When, from the sunny breast of open seas, And bays with myrtle fringed, the southern breeze Comes on to gladden April with the sight Of green isles widening on each snow-clad height; When shouts and lowing herds the valley fill, And louder torrents stun the noon-tide hill, The pastoral Swiss begin the cliffs to scale, Leaving to silence the deserted vale; And like the Patriarchs in their simple age Move, as the verdure leads, from stage to stage: High and more high in summer's heat they go, And hear the rattling thunder far below; Or steal beneath the mountains, half-deterred, Where huge rocks tremble to the bellowing herd. One I behold who, 'cross the foaming flood, Leaps with a bound of graceful hardihood; Another, high on that green ledge; - he gained The tempting spot with every sinew strained; And downward thence a knot of grass he throws, Food for his beasts in time of winter snows. - Far different life from what Tradition hoar Transmits of happier lot in times of yore! Then Summer lingered long; and honey flowed From out the rocks, the wild bees' safe abode: Continual waters welling cheered the waste, And plants were wholesome, now of deadly taste: Nor Winter yet his frozen stores had piled, Usurping where the fairest herbage smiled: Nor Hunger driven the herds from pastures bare, To climb the treacherous cliffs for scanty fare. Then the milk-thistle flourished through the land, And forced the full-swoln udder to demand, Thrice every day, the pail and welcome hand. Thus does the father to his children tell Of banished bliss, by fancy loved too well. Alas! that human guilt provoked the rod Of angry Nature to avenge her God. Still, Nature, ever just, to him imparts Joys only given to uncorrupted hearts. 'Tis morn: with gold the verdant mountain glows More high, the snowy peaks with hues of rose. Far-stretched beneath the many-tinted hills, A mighty waste of mist the valley fills, A solemn sea! whose billows wide around Stand motionless, to awful silence bound: Pines, on the coast, through mist their tops uprear, That like to leaning masts of stranded ships appear. A single chasm, a gulf of gloomy blue, Gapes in the centre of the sea- and, through That dark mysterious gulf ascending, sound Innumerable streams with roar profound. Mount through the nearer vapours notes of birds, And merry flageolet; the low of herds, The bark of dogs, the heifer's tinkling bell, Talk, laughter, and perchance a churchtower knell: Think not, the peasant from aloft has gazed And heard with heart unmoved, with soul unraised: Nor is his spirit less enrapt, nor less Alive to independent happiness, Then, when he lies, out-stretched, at eventide Upon the fragrant mountain's purple side: For as the pleasures of his simple day Beyond his native valley seldom stray, Nought round its darling precincts can he find But brings some past enjoyment to his mind; While Hope, reclining upon Pleasure's urn, Binds her wild wreaths, and whispers his return. Once, Man entirely free, alone and wild, Was blest as free- for he was Nature's child. He, all superior but his God disdained, Walked none restraining, and by none restrained Confessed no law but what his reason taught, Did all he wished, and wished but what he ought. As man in his primeval dower arrayed The image of his glorious Sire displayed, Even so, by faithful Nature guarded, here The traces of primeval Man appear; The simple dignity no forms debase; The eye sublime, and surly lion-grace: The slave of none, of beasts alone the lord, His book he prizes, nor neglects his sword; Well taught by that to feel his rights, prepared With this 'the blessings he enjoys to guard.' And, as his native hills encircle ground For many a marvellous victory renowned, The work of Freedom daring to oppose, With few in arms, innumerable foes, When to those famous fields his steps are led, An unknown power connects him with the dead: For images of other worlds are there; Awful the light, and holy is the air. Fitfully, and in flashes, through his soul, Like sun-lit tempests, troubled transports roll; His bosom heaves, his Spirit towers amain, Beyond the senses and their little reign. And oft, when that dread vision hath past by, He holds with God himself communion high, There where the peal of swelling torrents fills The sky-roofed temple of the eternal hills; Or when, upon the mountain's silent brow Reclined, he sees, above him and below, Bright stars of ice and azure fields of snow; While needle peaks of granite shooting bare Tremble in ever-varying tints of air. And when a gathering weight of shadows brown Falls on the valleys as the sun goes down; And Pikes, of darkness named and fear and storms, Uplift in quiet their illumined forms, In sea-like reach of prospect round him spread, Tinged like an angel's smile all rosy red- Awe in his breast with holiest love unites, And the near heavens impart their own delights. When downward to his winter hut he goes, Dear and more dear the lessening circle grows; That hut which on the hills so oft employs His thoughts, the central point of all his joys. And as a swallow, at the hour of rest, Peeps often ere she darts into her nest, So to the homestead, where the grandsire tends A little prattling child, he oft descends, To glance a look upon the well-matched pair; Till storm and driving ice blockade him there. There, safely guarded by the woods behind, He hears the chiding of the baffled wind, Hears Winter calling all his terrors round, And, blest within himself, he shrinks not from the sound. Through Nature's vale his homely pleasures glide, Unstained by envy, discontent, and pride; The bound of all his vanity, to deck, With one bright bell, a favourite heifer's neck; Well pleased upon some simple annual feast, Remembered half the year and hoped the rest, If dairy-produce, from his inner hoard, Of thrice ten summers dignify the board. - Alas! in every clime a flying ray Is all we have to cheer our wintry way; And here the unwilling mind may more than trace The general sorrows of the human race; The churlish gales of penury, that blow Cold as the north-wind o'er a waste of snow, To them the gentle groups of bliss deny That on the noon-day bank of leisure lie. Yet more; - compelled by Powers which only deign That 'solitary' man disturb their reign, Powers that support an unremitting strife With all the tender charities of life, Full oft the father, when his sons have grown To manhood, seems their title to disown; And from his nest amid the storms of heaven Drives, eagle-like, those sons as he was driven; With stern composure watches to the plain- And never, eagle-like, beholds again! When long-familiar joys are all resigned, Why does their sad remembrance haunt the mind? Lo! where through flat Batavia's willowy groves, Or by the lazy Seine, the exile roves; O'er the curled waters Alpine measures swell, And search the affections to their inmost cell; Sweet poison spreads along the listener's veins, Turning past pleasures into mortal pains; Poison, which not a frame of steel can brave, Bows his young head with sorrow to the grave. Gay lark of hope, thy silent song resume! Ye flattering eastern lights, once more the hills illume! Fresh gales and dews of life's delicious morn, And thou, lost fragrance of the heart, return! Alas! the little joy to man allowed Fades like the lustre of an evening cloud; Or like the beauty in a flower installed, Whose season was, and cannot be recalled. Yet, when opprest by sickness, grief, or care, And taught that pain is pleasure's natural heir, We still confide in more than we can know; Death would be else the favourite friend of woe. 'Mid savage rocks, and seas of snow that shine, Between interminable tracts of pine, Within a temple stands an awful shrine, By an uncertain light revealed, that falls On the mute Image and the troubled walls. Oh! give not me that eye of hard disdain That views, undimmed, Einsiedlen's wretched fane. While ghastly faces through the gloom appear, Abortive joy, and hope that works in fear; While prayer contends with silenced agony, Surely in other thoughts contempt may die. If the sad grave of human ignorance bear One flower of hope- oh, pass and leave it there! The tall sun, pausing on an Alpine spire, Flings o'er the wilderness a stream of fire: Now meet we other pilgrims ere the day Close on the remnant of their weary way; While they are drawing toward the sacred floor Where, so they fondly think, the worm shall gnaw no more. How gaily murmur and how sweetly taste The fountains reared for them amid the waste! Their thirst they slake:- they wash their toil-worn feet And some with tears of joy each other greet. Yes, I must see you when ye first behold Those holy turrets tipped with evening gold, In that glad moment will for you a sigh Be heaved, of charitable sympathy; In that glad moment when your hands are prest In mute devotion on the thankful breast! Last, let us turn to Chamouny that shields With rocks and gloomy woods her fertile fields: Five streams of ice amid her cots descend, And with wild flowers and blooming orchards blend; - A scene more fair than what the Grecian feigns Of purple lights and ever-vernal plains; Here all the seasons revel hand in hand: 'Mid lawns and shades by breezy rivulets fanned, They sport beneath that mountain's matchless height That holds no commerce with the summer night. From age to age, throughout his lonely bounds The crash of ruin fitfully resounds; Appalling havoc! but serene his brow, Where daylight lingers on perpetual snow; Glitter the stars above, and all is black below. What marvel then if many a Wanderer sigh, While roars the sullen Arve in anger by, That not for thy reward, unrivalled Vale! Waves the ripe harvest in the autumnal gale; That thou, the slaves of slaves, art doomed to pine And droop, while no Italian arts are thine, To soothe or cheer, to soften or refine. Hail Freedom! whether it was mine to stray, With shrill winds whistling round my lonely way, On the bleak sides of Cumbria's heath-clad moors, Or where dank sea-weed lashes Scotland's shores; To scent the sweets of Piedmont's breathing rose, And orange gale that o'er Lugano blows; Still have I found, where Tyranny prevails, That virtue languishes and pleasure fails, While the remotest hamlets blessings share In thy loved presence known, and only there; 'Heart'-blessings- outward treasures too which the eye Of the sun peeping through the clouds can spy, And every passing breeze will testify. There, to the porch, belike with jasmine bound Or woodbine wreaths, a smoother path is wound; The housewife there a brighter garden sees, Where hum on busier wing her happy bees; On infant cheeks there fresher roses blow; And grey-haired men look up with livelier brow,- To greet the traveller needing food and rest; Housed for the night, or but a half-hour's guest. And oh, fair France! though now the traveller sees Thy three-striped banner fluctuate on the breeze; Though martial songs have banished songs of love, And nightingales desert the village grove, Scared by the fife and rumbling drum's alarms, And the short thunder, and the flash of arms; That cease not till night falls, when far and nigh, Sole sound, the Sourd prolongs his mournful cry! - Yet, hast thou found that Freedom spreads her power Beyond the cottage-hearth, the cottage-door: All nature smiles, and owns beneath her eyes Her fields peculiar, and peculiar skies. Yes, as I roamed where Loiret's waters glide Through rustling aspens heard from side to side, When from October clouds a milder light Fell where the blue flood rippled into white; Methought from every cot the watchful bird Crowed with ear-piercing power till then unheard; Each clacking mill, that broke the murmuring streams, Rocked the charmed thought in more delightful dreams; Chasing those pleasant dreams, the falling leaf Awoke a fainter sense of moral grief; The measured echo of the distant flail Wound in more welcome cadence down the vale; With more majestic course the water rolled, And ripening foliage shone with richer gold. - But foes are gathering- Liberty must raise Red on the hills her beacon's far-seen blaze; Must bid the tocsin ring from tower to tower! - Nearer and nearer comes the trying hour! Rejoice, brave Land, though pride's perverted ire Rouse hell's own aid, and wrap thy fields in fire: Lo, from the flames a great and glorious birth; As if a new-made heaven were hailing a new earth! - All cannot be: the promise is too fair For creatures doomed to breathe terrestrial air: Yet not for this will sober reason frown Upon that promise, nor the hope disown; She knows that only from high aims ensue Rich guerdons, and to them alone are due. Great God! by whom the strifes of men are weighed In an impartial balance, give thine aid To the just cause; and, oh! do thou preside Over the mighty stream now spreading wide: So shall its waters, from the heavens supplied In copious showers, from earth by wholesome springs, Brood o'er the long-parched lands with Nile-like wings! And grant that every sceptred child of clay Who cries presumptuous, 'Here the flood shall stay,' May in its progress see thy guiding hand, And cease the acknowledged purpose to withstand; Or, swept in anger from the insulted shore, Sink with his servile bands, to rise no more! To-night, my Friend, within this humble cot Be scorn and fear and hope alike forgot In timely sleep; and when, at break of day, On the tall peaks the glistening sunbeams play, With a light heart our course we may renew, The first whose footsteps print the mountain dew. 1791 & 1792."", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""282"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 282, ""poem.id"": 282, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-01 04:03:49"", ""poem.title"": ""To Sir George Howland Beaumont, Bart From The South-West Coast Or Cumberland 1811"", ""poem.date"": ""4/5/2010"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""283"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 283, ""poem.id"": 283, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-01 04:03:53"", ""poem.title"": ""To The Supreme Being From The Italian Of Michael Angelo"", ""poem.date"": ""4/5/2010"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""284"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 284, ""poem.id"": 284, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-01 04:03:57"", ""poem.title"": ""The Oak Of Guernica Supposed Address To The Same"", ""poem.date"": ""4/5/2010"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""285"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 285, ""poem.id"": 285, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-01 04:04:04"", ""poem.title"": ""Translation Of Part Of The First Book Of The Aeneid"", ""poem.date"": ""4/5/2010"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""286"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 286, ""poem.id"": 286, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-01 04:04:11"", ""poem.title"": ""To The Memory Of Raisley Calvert"", ""poem.date"": ""4/5/2010"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""287"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 287, ""poem.id"": 287, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-01 04:04:17"", ""poem.title"": ""To Thomas Clarkson"", ""poem.date"": ""4/5/2010"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""288"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 288, ""poem.id"": 288, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-01 04:04:22"", ""poem.title"": ""The Morning Of The Day Appointed For A General Thanksgiving.

his boat and twinkling oar.My father was a good and pious man,An honest man, by honest parents bred,And I believe that, soon as I beganTo lisp, he made me kneel beside my bed,And in his hearing there my prayers I said:And afterwards, by my good father taught,I read, and loved the books in which I read;For books in every neighboring house I sought,And nothing to my mind a sweeter pleasure brought.Can I forget what charms did once adornMy garden, stored with pease, and mint, and thyme,And rose and lily for the sabbath morn?The sabbath bells, and the delightful chime;The gambols and wild freaks at shearing time;My hen's rich nest through long grass scarce espied;The cowslip-gathering at May's dewy prime;The swans, that when I sought the water-side,From far to meet me came, spreading their snowy pride.The staff I yet remember which upboreThe bending body of my active sire;His seat beneath the honeyed sycamoreWhen the bees hummed, and chair by winter fire;When market-morning came, the neat attireWith which, though bent on haste, myself I deck'd;My watchful dog, whose starts of furious ire,When stranger passed, so often I have check'd;The red-breast known for years, which at my casement peck'd.The suns of twenty summers danced along, -Ah! little marked, how fast they rolled away:Then rose a mansion proud our woods among,And cottage after cottage owned its sway,No joy to see a neighboring house, or strayThrough pastures not his own, the master took;My Father dared his greedy wish gainsay;He loved his old hereditary nook,And ill could I the thought of such sad parting brook.But, when he had refused the proffered gold,To cruel injuries he became a prey,Sore traversed in whate'er he bought and sold:His troubles grew upon him day by day,Till all his substance fell into decay.His little range of water was denied;All but the bed where his old body lay,All, all was seized, and weeping, side by side,We sought a home where we uninjured might abide.Can I forget that miserable hour,When from the last hill-top, my sire surveyed,Peering above the trees, the steeple tower,That on his marriage-day sweet music made?Till then he hoped his bones might there be laid,Close by my mother in their native bowers:Bidding me trust in God, he stood and prayed, — I could not pray: — through tears that fell in showers,Glimmer'd our dear-loved home, alas! no longer ours!There was a youth whom I had loved so long,That when I loved him not I cannot say.‘Mid the green mountains many and many a songWe two had sung, like little birds in May.When we began to tire of childish playWe seemed still more and more to prize each other:We talked of marriage and our marriage day;And I in truth did love him like a brother,For never could I hope to meet with such another.His father said, that to a distant townHe must repair, to ply the artist's trade.What tears of bitter grief till then unknown!What tender vows our last sad kiss delayed!To him we turned: — we had no other aid.Like one revived, upon his neck I wept,And her whom he had loved in joy, he saidHe well could love in grief: his faith he kept;And in a quiet home once more my father slept"", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16544"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16544, ""poem.id"": 16544, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 03:40:46"", ""poem.title"": ""The Highland Broach"", ""poem.date"": ""4/5/2010"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16545"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16545, ""poem.id"": 16545, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 03:40:51"", ""poem.title"": ""Upon Perusing The Forgoing Epistle Thirty Years After Its Composition"", ""poem.date"": ""4/5/2010"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16546"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16546, ""poem.id"": 16546, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 03:40:56"", ""poem.title"": ""Water-Fowl Observed Frequently Over The Lakes Of Rydal And Grasmere"", ""poem.date"": ""4/5/2010"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16547"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16547, ""poem.id"": 16547, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 03:40:59"", ""poem.title"": ""The Shepherd, Looking Eastward, Softly Said"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16548"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16548, ""poem.id"": 16548, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 03:41:03"", ""poem.title"": ""Siege Of Vienna Raised By John Sobieski"", ""poem.date"": ""4/5/2010"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16549"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16549, ""poem.id"": 16549, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 03:41:09"", ""poem.title"": ""Troilus And Cresida"", ""poem.date"": ""4/5/2010"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16550"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16550, ""poem.id"": 16550, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 03:41:13"", ""poem.title"": ""When I Have Borne In Memory"", ""poem.date"": ""4/5/2010"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16551"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16551, ""poem.id"": 16551, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 03:41:19"", ""poem.title"": ""To M.H."", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16552"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16552, ""poem.id"": 16552, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 03:41:25"", ""poem.title"": ""The Horn Of Egremont Castle"", ""poem.date"": ""4/5/2010"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16553"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16553, ""poem.id"": 16553, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 03:41:27"", ""poem.title"": ""The Idle Shepherd Boys"", ""poem.date"": ""5/17/2001"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16554"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16554, ""poem.id"": 16554, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 03:41:31"", ""poem.title"": ""Upon The Sight Of A Beautiful Picture Painted By Sir G.

harmless fields with signs of woe:Beneath her sway, a simple forest cryBecomes an echo of man's misery.Blithe ravens croak of death; and when the owlTries his two voices for a favourite strain--'Tu-whit--Tu-whoo!' the unsuspecting fowlForebodes mishap or seems but to complain; Fancy, intent to harass and annoy,Can thus pervert the evidence of joy.Through border wilds where naked Indians stray,Myriads of notes attest her subtle skill;A feathered task-master cries, 'WORK AWAY!'And, in thy iteration, 'WHIP POOR WILL!'Is heard the spirit of a toil-worn slave,Lashed out of life, not quiet in the grave.What wonder? at her bidding, ancient laysSteeped in dire grief the voice of Philomel; And that fleet messenger of summer days,The Swallow, twittered subject to like spell;But ne'er could Fancy bend the buoyant LarkTo melancholy service--hark!

Hail, blest above all kinds!--Supremely skilledRestless with fixed to balance, high with low,Thou leav'st the halcyon free her hopes to buildOn such forbearance as the deep may show;Perpetual flight, unchecked by earthly ties,Leav'st to the wandering bird of paradise.Faithful, though swift as lightning, the meek dove;Yet more hath Nature reconciled in thee;So constant with thy downward eye of love,Yet, in aerial singleness, so free; So humble, yet so ready to rejoiceIn power of wing and never-wearied voice.To the last point of vision, and beyond,Mount, daring warbler!--that love-prompted strain,('Twixt thee and thine a never-failing bond)Thrills not the less the bosom of the plain:Yet might'st thou seem, proud privilege! to singAll independent of the leafy spring.How would it please old Ocean to partake,With sailors longing for a breeze in vain, The harmony thy notes most gladly makeWhere earth resembles most his own domain!Urania's self might welcome with pleased earThese matins mounting towards her native sphere.Chanter by heaven attracted, whom no barsTo day-light known deter from that pursuit,'Tis well that some sage instinct, when the starsCome forth at evening, keeps Thee still and mute;For not an eyelid could to sleep inclineWert thou among them, singing as they shine!"", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16842"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16842, ""poem.id"": 16842, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:03:24"", ""poem.title"": ""The Birth Of Love"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16843"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16843, ""poem.id"": 16843, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:03:26"", ""poem.title"": ""A Gravestone Upon The Floor In The Cloisters Of Worcester Cathedral"", ""poem.date"": ""4/5/2010"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16844"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16844, ""poem.id"": 16844, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:03:29"", ""poem.title"": ""Lines Written In Early Spring"", ""poem.date"": ""5/17/2001"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16845"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16845, ""poem.id"": 16845, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:03:34"", ""poem.title"": ""A Jewish Family In A Small Valley Opposite St. Goar, Upon The Rhine"", ""poem.date"": ""4/5/2010"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16846"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16846, ""poem.id"": 16846, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:03:40"", ""poem.title"": ""The Childless Father"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16847"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16847, ""poem.id"": 16847, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:03:46"", ""poem.title"": ""The Idiot Boy"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16848"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16848, ""poem.id"": 16848, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:03:49"", ""poem.title"": ""She Was A Phantom Of Delight"", ""poem.date"": ""5/17/2001"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16849"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16849, ""poem.id"": 16849, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:03:55"", ""poem.title"": ""Expostulation And Reply"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16850"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16850, ""poem.id"": 16850, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:03:57"", ""poem.title"": ""Character Of The Happy Warrior"", ""poem.date"": ""1/1/2004"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16851"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16851, ""poem.id"": 16851, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:04:00"", ""poem.title"": ""Evening On Calais Beach"", ""poem.date"": ""1/4/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16852"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16852, ""poem.id"": 16852, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:04:06"", ""poem.title"": ""Memory"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16853"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16853, ""poem.id"": 16853, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:04:09"", ""poem.title"": ""Nutting"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16854"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16854, ""poem.id"": 16854, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:04:11"", ""poem.title"": ""An Evening Walk, Addressed To A Young Lady"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16855"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16855, ""poem.id"": 16855, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:04:15"", ""poem.title"": ""London, 1802"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16856"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16856, ""poem.id"": 16856, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:04:17"", ""poem.title"": ""After-Thought"", ""poem.date"": ""1/1/2004"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16857"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16857, ""poem.id"": 16857, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:04:22"", ""poem.title"": ""A Flower Garden At Coleorton Hall, Leicestershire."", ""poem.date"": ""4/5/2010"", ""poem.content"": ""TELL me, ye Zephyrs!

The day is come when I again repose Here, under this dark sycamore, and view These plots of cottage-ground, these orchard-tufts, Which at this season, with their unripe fruits, Are clad in one green hue, and lose themselves 'Mid groves and copses. Once again I see These hedge-rows, hardly hedge-rows, little lines Of sportive wood run wild: these pastoral farms, Green to the very door; and wreaths of smoke Sent up, in silence, from among the trees! With some uncertain notice, as might seem Of vagrant dwellers in the houseless woods, Or of some Hermit's cave, where by his fire The Hermit sits alone. These beauteous forms, Through a long absence, have not been to me As is a landscape to a blind man's eye: But oft, in lonely rooms, and 'mid the din Of towns and cities, I have owed to them In hours of weariness, sensations sweet, Felt in the blood, and felt along the heart; And passing even into my purer mind, With tranquil restoration:--feelings too Of unremembered pleasure: such, perhaps, As have no slight or trivial influence On that best portion of a good man's life, His little, nameless, unremembered, acts Of kindness and of love. Nor less, I trust, To them I may have owed another gift, Of aspect more sublime; that blessed mood, In which the burthen of the mystery, In which the heavy and the weary weight Of all this unintelligible world, Is lightened:--that serene and blessed mood, In which the affections gently lead us on,-- Until, the breath of this corporeal frame And even the motion of our human blood Almost suspended, we are laid asleep In body, and become a living soul: While with an eye made quiet by the power Of harmony, and the deep power of joy, We see into the life of things. If this Be but a vain belief, yet, oh! how oft-- In darkness and amid the many shapes Of joyless daylight; when the fretful stir Unprofitable, and the fever of the world, Have hung upon the beatings of my heart-- How oft, in spirit, have I turned to thee, O sylvan Wye! thou wanderer thro' the woods, How often has my spirit turned to thee! And now, with gleams of half-extinguished thought, With many recognitions dim and faint, And somewhat of a sad perplexity, The picture of the mind revives again: While here I stand, not only with the sense Of present pleasure, but with pleasing thoughts That in this moment there is life and food For future years. And so I dare to hope, Though changed, no doubt, from what I was when first I came among these hills; when like a roe I bounded o'er the mountains, by the sides Of the deep rivers, and the lonely streams, Wherever nature led: more like a man Flying from something that he dreads, than one Who sought the thing he loved. For nature then (The coarser pleasures of my boyish days, And their glad animal movements all gone by) To me was all in all.--I cannot paint What then I was. The sounding cataract Haunted me like a passion: the tall rock, The mountain, and the deep and gloomy wood, Their colours and their forms, were then to me An appetite; a feeling and a love, That had no need of a remoter charm, By thought supplied, nor any interest Unborrowed from the eye.--That time is past, And all its aching joys are now no more, And all its dizzy raptures. Not for this Faint I, nor mourn nor murmur, other gifts Have followed; for such loss, I would believe, Abundant recompence. For I have learned To look on nature, not as in the hour Of thoughtless youth; but hearing oftentimes The still, sad music of humanity, Nor harsh nor grating, though of ample power To chasten and subdue. And I have felt A presence that disturbs me with the joy Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime Of something far more deeply interfused, Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns, And the round ocean and the living air, And the blue sky, and in the mind of man; A motion and a spirit, that impels 0 All thinking things, all objects of all thought, And rolls through all things. Therefore am I still A lover of the meadows and the woods, And mountains; and of all that we behold From this green earth; of all the mighty world Of eye, and ear,--both what they half create, And what perceive; well pleased to recognise In nature and the language of the sense, The anchor of my purest thoughts, the nurse, The guide, the guardian of my heart, and soul Of all my moral being. Nor perchance, If I were not thus taught, should I the more Suffer my genial spirits to decay: For thou art with me here upon the banks Of this fair river; thou my dearest Friend, My dear, dear Friend; and in thy voice I catch The language of my former heart, and read My former pleasures in the shooting lights Of thy wild eyes. Oh! yet a little while May I behold in thee what I was once, My dear, dear Sister! and this prayer I make, Knowing that Nature never did betray The heart that loved her; 'tis her privilege, Through all the years of this our life, to lead From joy to joy: for she can so inform The mind that is within us, so impress With quietness and beauty, and so feed With lofty thoughts, that neither evil tongues, Rash judgments, nor the sneers of selfish men, Nor greetings where no kindness is, nor all The dreary intercourse of daily life, Shall e'er prevail against us, or disturb Our cheerful faith, that all which we behold Is full of blessings. Therefore let the moon Shine on thee in thy solitary walk; And let the misty mountain-winds be free To blow against thee: and, in after years, When these wild ecstasies shall be matured Into a sober pleasure; when thy mind Shall be a mansion for all lovely forms, Thy memory be as a dwelling-place For all sweet sounds and harmonies; oh! then, If solitude, or fear, or pain, or grief, Should be thy portion, with what healing thoughts Of tender joy wilt thou remember me, And these my exhortations! Nor, perchance-- If I should be where I no more can hear Thy voice, nor catch from thy wild eyes these gleams Of past existence--wilt thou then forget That on the banks of this delightful stream We stood together; and that I, so long A worshipper of Nature, hither came Unwearied in that service: rather say With warmer love--oh! with far deeper zeal Of holier love. Nor wilt thou then forget, That after many wanderings, many years Of absence, these steep woods and lofty cliffs, And this green pastoral landscape, were to me More dear, both for themselves and for thy sake!"", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16879"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16879, ""poem.id"": 16879, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:06:05"", ""poem.title"": ""A Complaint"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16880"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16880, ""poem.id"": 16880, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:06:12"", ""poem.title"": ""A Narrow Girdle Of Rough Stones And Crags"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": ""A narrow girdle of rough stones and crags, A rude and natural causeway, interposed Between the water and a winding slope Of copse and thicket, leaves the eastern shore Of Grasmere safe in its own privacy: And there myself and two beloved Friends, One calm September morning, ere the mist Had altogether yielded to the sun, Sauntered on this retired and difficult way. ----Ill suits the road with one in haste; but we Played with our time; and, as we strolled along, It was our occupation to observe Such objects as the waves had tossed ashore-- Feather, or leaf, or weed, or withered bough, Each on the other heaped, along the line Of the dry wreck. And, in our vacant mood, Not seldom did we stop to watch some tuft Of dandelion seed or thistle's beard, That skimmed the surface of the dead calm lake, Suddenly halting now--a lifeless stand! And starting off again with freak as sudden; In all its sportive wanderings, all the while, Making report of an invisible breeze That was its wings, its chariot, and its horse, Its playmate, rather say, its moving soul. --And often, trifling with a privilege Alike indulged to all, we paused, one now, And now the other, to point out, perchance To pluck, some flower or water-weed, too fair Either to be divided from the place On which it grew, or to be left alone To its own beauty. Many such there are, Fair ferns and flowers, and chiefly that tall fern, So stately, of the queen Osmunda named; Plant lovelier, in its own retired abode On Grasmere's beach, than Naiad by the side Of Grecian brook, or Lady of the Mere, Sole-sitting by the shores of old romance. --So fared we that bright morning: from the fields Meanwhile, a noise was heard, the busy mirth Of reapers, men and women, boys and girls. Delighted much to listen to those sounds, And feeding thus our fancies, we advanced Along the indented shore; when suddenly, Through a thin veil of glittering haze was seen Before us, on a point of jutting land, The tall and upright figure of a Man Attired in peasant's garb, who stood alone, Angling beside the margin of the lake. 'Improvident and reckless,' we exclaimed, 'The Man must be, who thus can lose a day Of the mid harvest, when the labourer's hire Is ample, and some little might be stored Wherewith to cheer him in the winter time.' Thus talking of that Peasant, we approached Close to the spot where with his rod and line He stood alone; whereat he turned his head To greet us--and we saw a Mam worn down By sickness, gaunt and lean, with sunken cheeks And wasted limbs, his legs so long and lean That for my single self I looked at them, Forgetful of the body they sustained.-- Too weak to labour in the harvest field, The Man was using his best skill to gain A pittance from the dead unfeeling lake That knew not of his wants. I will not say What thoughts immediately were ours, nor how The happy idleness of that sweet morn, With all its lovely images, was changed To serious musing and to self-reproach. Nor did we fail to see within ourselves What need there is to be reserved in speech, And temper all our thoughts with charity. --Therefore, unwilling to forget that day, My Friend, Myself, and She who then received The same admonishment, have called the place By a memorial name, uncouth indeed As e'er by mariner was given to bay Or foreland, on a new-discovered coast; And POINT RASH-JUDGMENT is the name it bears."", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16881"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16881, ""poem.id"": 16881, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:06:19"", ""poem.title"": ""The Solitary Reaper"", ""poem.date"": ""5/17/2001"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16882"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16882, ""poem.id"": 16882, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:06:26"", ""poem.title"": ""Calm Is All Nature As A Resting Wheel"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16883"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16883, ""poem.id"": 16883, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:06:28"", ""poem.title"": ""A Night-Piece"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16884"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16884, ""poem.id"": 16884, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:06:33"", ""poem.title"": ""It Was An April Morning: Fresh And Clear"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": ""It was an April morning: fresh and clear The Rivulet, delighting in its strength, Ran with a young man's speed; and yet the voice Of waters which the winter had supplied Was softened down into a vernal tone. The spirit of enjoyment and desire, And hopes and wishes, from all living things Went circling, like a multitude of sounds. The budding groves seemed eager to urge on The steps of June; as if their various hues Were only hindrances that stood between Them and their object: but, meanwhile, prevailed Such an entire contentment in the air That every naked ash, and tardy tree Yet leafless, showed as if the countenance With which it looked on this delightful day Were native to the summer.--Up the brook I roamed in the confusion of my heart, Alive to all things and forgetting all. At length I to a sudden turning came In this continuous glen, where down a rock The Stream, so ardent in its course before, Sent forth such sallies of glad sound, that all Which I till then had heard, appeared the voice Of common pleasure: beast and bird, the lamb, The shepherd's dog, the linnet and the thrush Vied with this waterfall, and made a song, Which, while I listened, seemed like the wild growth Or like some natural produce of the air, That could not cease to be. Green leaves were here; But 'twas the foliage of the rocks--the birch, The yew, the holly, and the bright green thorn, With hanging islands of resplendent furze: And, on a summit, distant a short space, By any who should look beyond the dell, A single mountain-cottage might be seen. I gazed and gazed, and to myself I said, 'Our thoughts at least are ours; and this wild nook, My EMMA, I will dedicate to thee.' ----Soon did the spot become my other home, My dwelling, and my out-of-doors abode. And, of the Shepherds who have seen me there, To whom I sometimes in our idle talk Have told this fancy, two or three, perhaps, Years after we are gone and in our graves, When they have cause to speak of this wild place, May call it by the name of EMMA'S DELL."", ""poem.author"": ""William Wordsworth"" }, ""16885"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 16885, ""poem.id"": 16885, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02

tame birds.His voice is a sharp sword slicing and thrusting everywhere,It darts like lightening - no knowing where it will go when.He sets deadly traps for himself, then cuts them away:The courtiers listen in amazement, give frequent gasps of praise.Only the old king Pratap Ray sits like wood, unmoved.Haraj Lal is the only singer he likes, all others leave him cold.From childhood he has spent so long listening to him sing -Rag Kafi during holi, cloud-songs during the rains,Songs for Durga at dawn in autumn, songs to bid her farewell -His heart swelled when he heard them and his eyes swam with tears.And on days when friends gathered and filled the hallThere were cowherds' songs of Krsna, in raags Bhupali and Multan.So many nights of wedding-festivity have passed in that royal house:Servants dressed in red, hundreds of lamps alight:The bridegroom sitting shyly in his finery and jewels,Young friends teasing him and whispering in his ear:Before him, singing raag Sahana, sits Baraj Lal.The king's heart is full of all those days and songs.When he hears some other singer, he feels no chord inside,No sudden magical awakening of memories of the past.When Pratap Ray watches Kasinath he just sees his wagging head:Tune after tune after tune, bu none with any echo in the heart.Kasinath asks for a rest and the singing stops for a space.Pratap Ray smilingly turns his eyes to Baraj Lal.He puts his mouth to his ear and says, 'Dear ustad,Give us a song as songs ought to be, this is no song at all.It's all tricks and games, like a cat hunting a bird.We used to hear songs in the old days, today they have no idea.'Old Baraj Lal, white-haired, white turban on his head,Bows to the assembled courtiers and slowly takes his seat.He takes the tanpura in his wasted, heavily veined handAnd with lowered head and closed eyes begins raag Yaman-kalyap.His quavering voice is swallowed by the enormous hall,Is like a tiny bird in a storm, unable to fly for all it tries.Pratap Ray, sitting to the left, encourages him again and again:'Superb, bravo!' he says in his ear, 'sing out loud.'The courtiers are inattentive, some whisper amongst themselves,Some of them yawn, some doze, some go off to their rooms;Some of them call to servants, 'Bring the bookah, bring some pan.'Some fan themselves furiously and complain of the heat.They cannot keep still for a minute, they shuffle or walk about -The hall was quiet before, but every sort of noise has grown.The old man's singing is swamped, like a frail boat in a typhoon:Only his shaky fingering of the tanpura shows it is there.Music that should rise on its own joy from the depths of the heartIs crushed by heedless clamour, like a fountain under a stone.The song and Baraj Lal's feelings go separate ways,But he sings for all he is worth, to keep up the honour of his king.One of the verses of the song has somehow slipped from his mind.He quickly goes back, tries to get it right this time.Again he forgets, it is lost, he shakes his head at the shame;He starts the song at the beginning - again he has to stop.His hand trembles doubly as he prays to his teachers name.His voice quakes with distress, like a lamp guttering in a breeze.He abandons the words of the song and tries to salvage the tune,But suddenly his wide-mouthed singing breaks into loud cries.The intricate melody goes to the winds, the rhythm is swept away -Tears snap the thread of the song, cascade like pearls.In shame he rests his head on the old tanpura in his lap -He has failed to remember a song: he weeps as he did as a child.With brimming eyes king Pratap Ray tenderly touches his friend:'Come, let us go from here,' he says with kindness and love.They leave that festive hall with its hundreds of blinding lights.The two old friends go outside, holding each other's hands.Baraj says with hands clasped, 'Master, our days are gone.New men have come now, new styles and customs in the world.The court we kept is deserted - only the two of us are left.Don't ask anyone to listen to me now, I beg you at your feet, my lord.The singer along does not make a song, there has to be someone who hears:One man opens his throat to sing, the other sings in his mind.Only when waves fall on the shore do they make a harmonious sound;Only when breezes shake the woods do we hear a rustling in the leaves.Only from a marriage of two forces does music arise in the world.Where there is no love, where listeners are dumb, there never can be song.'"", ""poem.author"": ""Rabindranath Tagore"" }, ""17069"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 17069, ""poem.id"":

fancies are fireflies, — Specks of living lighttwinkling in the dark.The voice of wayside pansies,that do not attract the careless glance,murmurs in these desultory lines.In the drowsy dark caves of the minddreams build their nest with fragmentsdropped from day's caravan.Spring scatters the petals of flowersthat are not for the fruits of the future,but for the moment's whim.Joy freed from the bond of earth's slumberrushes into numberless leaves,and dances in the air for a day.My words that are slightmay lightly dance upon time's waveswhen my works heavy with import have gone down.Mind's underground mothsgrow filmy wingsand take a farewell flightin the sunset sky.The butterfly counts not months but moments,and has time enough.My thoughts, like spark, ride on winged surprises,carrying a single laughter.The tree gazes in love at its own beautiful shadowwhich yet it never can grasp.Let my love, like sunlight, surround youand yet give you illumined freedom.Days are coloured bubblesthat float upon the surface of fathomless night.My offerings are too timid to claim your remembrance,and therefore you may remember them.Leave out my name from the giftif it be a burden,but keep my song.April, like a child,writes hieroglyphs on dust with flowers,wipes them away and forgets.Memory, the priestess,kills the presentand offers its heart to the shrine of the dead past.From the solemn gloom of the templechildren run out to sit in the dust,God watches them playand forgets the priest.My mind starts up at some flashon the flow of its thoughtslike a brook at a sudden liquid note of its ownthat is never repeated.In the mountain, stillness surges upto explore its own height; in the lake, movement stands stillto contemplate its own depth.The departing night's one kisson the closed eyes of morningglows in the star of dawn.Maiden, thy beauty is like a fruitwhich is yet to mature,tense with an unyielding secret.Sorrow that has lost its memoryis like the dumb dark hoursthat have no bird songsbut only the cricket's chirp.Bigotry tries to keep truth safe in its handwith a grip that kills it.Wishing to hearten a timid lampgreat night lights all her stars.Though he holds in his arms the earth-bride,the sky is ever immensely away.God seeks comrades and claims love,the Devil seeks slaves and claims obedience.The soil in return for her servicekeeps the tree tied to her,the sky asks nothing and leaves it free.Jewel-like immortaldoes not boast of its length of yearsbut of the scintillating point of its moment.The child ever dwells in the mystery of ageless time,unobscured by the dust of history.Alight laughter in the steps of creationcarries it swiftly across time.One who was distant came near to me in the morning,and still nearer when taken away by night.White and pink oleanders meetand make merry in different dialects.When peace is active sweeping its dirt, it is storm.The lake lies low by the hill,a tearful entreaty of loveat the foot of the inflexible.There smiles the Divine Childamong his playthings of unmeaning cloudsand ephemeral lights and shadows.The breeze whispers to the lotus,'What is thy secret? ''It is myself,' says the lotus,'Steal it and I disappear! 'The freedom of the storm and the bondage of the stemjoin hands in the dance of swaying branches.The jasmine's lisping of love to the sun is her flowers.The tyrant claims freedom to kill freedomand yet to keep it for himself.Gods, tired of their paradise, envy man.Clouds are hills in vapour,hills are clouds in stone, —a phantasy in time's dream.While God waits for His temple to be built of love,men bring stones.I touch God in my songas the hill touches the far-away seawith its waterfall.Light finds her treasure of coloursthrough the antagonism of clouds.My heart to-day smiles at its past night of tearslike a wet tree glistening in the sun after the rain is over.I have thanked the trees that have made my life fruitful,but have failed to remember the grassthat has ever kept it green.The one without second is emptiness,the other one makes it true.Life's errors cry for the merciful beautythat can modulate their isolationinto a harmony with the whole.They expect thanks for the banished nestbecause their cage is shapely and secure.In love I pay my endless debt to theefor what thou art.The pond sends up its lyrics from its dark in lilies,and the sun says, they are good.Your calumny against the great is impious,it hurts yourself; against the small it is mean,for it hurts the victim.The first flower that blossomed on this earthwas an invitation to the unborn song.Dawn—the many-coloured flower—fades,and then the simple light-fruit,the sun appears.The muscle that has a doubt if its wisdomthrottles the voice that would cry.The wind tries to take the flame by storm only to blow it out.Life's play is swift,Life's playthings fall behind one by oneand are forgotten.My flower, seek not thy paradisein a fool's buttonhole.Thou hast risen late, my crescent moon,but my night bird is still awake to greet thee.Darkness is the veiled bridesilently waiting for the errant lightto return to her bosom.Trees are the earth's endless effort tospeak to the listening heaven.The burden of self is lightenedwhen I laugh at myself.The weak can be terrible because they try furiously to appear strong.The wind of heaven blows,The anchor desperately clutches the mud,and my boat is beating its breast against the chain.The spirit of death is one,the spirit of life is many,When God is dead religion becomes one.The blue of the sky longs for the earth's green,the wind between them sighs, 'Alas.'Day's pain muffled by its own glare,burns among stars in the night.The stars crowd round the virgin nightin silent awe at her lonelinessthat can never be touched.The cloud gives all its goldto the departing sunand greets the rising moonwith only a pale smile.He who does good comes to the temple gate,he who loves reaches the shrine.Flower, have pity for the worm,it is not a bee,its love is a blunder and a burden.With the ruins of terror's triumphchildren build their doll's house.The lamp waits through the long day of neglectfor the flame's kiss in the night.Feathers in the dust lying lazily contenthave forgotten their sky.The flowers which is singleneed not envy the thornsthat are numerous.The world suffers most from the disinterested tyrannyof its well-wisher.We gain freedom when we have paid the full pricefor our right to live.Your careless gifts of a moment,like the meteors of an autumn night,catch fire in the depth of my being.The faith waiting in the heart of a seedpromises a miracle of lifewhich it cannot prove at once.Spring hesitates at winter's door,but the mango blossom rashly runs out to himbefore her time and meets her doom.The world is the ever-changing foamthat floats on the surface of a sea of silence.The two separated shores mingle their voicesin a song of unfathomed tears.As a river in the sea,work finds its fulfilmentin the depth of leisure.I lingered on my way till thy cherry tree lost its blossom,but the azalea brings to me, my love, thy forgiveness.Thy shy little pomegranate bud,blushing to-day behind her veil,will burst into a passionate flowerto-morrow when I am away.The clumsiness of power spoils the key,and uses the pickaxe.Birth is from the mystery of nightinto the greater mystery of day.These paper boats of mine are meant to danceon the ripples of hours,and not to reach any destination.Migratory songs wing from my heartand seek their nests in your voice of love.The sea of danger, doubt and denialaround man's little island of certaintychallenges him to dare the unknown.Love punishes when it forgives,and injured beauty by its awful silence.You live alone and unrecompensedbecause they are afraid of your great worth.The same sun is newly born in new landsin a ring of endless dawns.God is world is ever renewed by death,a Titan's ever crushed by its own existence.The glow-worm while exploring the dustnever knows that stars are in the sky.The tree is of to-day, the flower is old,it brings with it the messageof the immemorial seed.Each rose that comes brings me greetingsfrom the Rose of an eternal spring.God honours me when I work,He loves me when I sing.My love of to-day finds no homein the nest deserted by yesterday's love.The fire of pain traces for my soula luminous path across her sorrow.The grass survives the hillthrough its resurrections from countless deaths.Thou hast vanished from my reachleaving an impalpable touch in the blue of the sky,an invisible image in the wind movingamong the shadows.In pity for the desolate branchspring leaves to it a kiss that fluttered in a lonely leaf.The shy shadow in the gardenloves the sun in silence,Flowers guess the secret, and smile,while the leaves whisper.I leave no trace of wings in the air,but I am glad I have had my flight.The fireflies, twinkling among leaves,make the stars wonder.The mountain remains unmovedat its seeming defeat by the mist.While the rose said to the sun,'I shall ever remember thee,'her petals fell to the dust.Hills are the earth's gesture of despairfor the unreachable.Though the thorn in thy flower pricked me,O Beauty,I am grateful.The world knows that the feware more than the many.Let not my love be a burden on you, my friend,know that it pays itself.Dawn plays her lute before the gate of darkness,and is content to vanish when the sun comes out.Beauty is truth's smilewhen she beholds her own facein a perfect mirror.The dew-drop knows the sunonly within its own tiny orb.Forlorn thoughts from the forsaken lives of all ages,swarming in the air, hum round my heartand seek my voice.The desert is imprisoned in the wallof its unbounded barrenness.In the thrill of little leavesI see the air's invisible dance,and in their glimmeringthe secret heart-beats of the sky.You are like a flowering tree,amazed when I praise you for your gifts.The earth's sacrificial fireflames up in her trees,scattering sparks in flowers.Forests, the clouds of earth,hold up to the sky their silence,and clouds from above come downin resonant showers.The world speaks to me in pictures,my soul answers in music.The sky tells its beads all nighton the countless starsin memory of the sun.The darkness of night, like pain, is dumb,the darkness of dawn, like peace, is silent.Pride engraves his frowns in stones,love offers her surrender in flowers.The obsequious brush curtails truthin deference to the canvas which is narrow.The hill in its longing for the far-away skywishes to be like the cloudwith its endless urge of seeking.To justify their own spilling of inkthey spell the day as night.Profit smiles on goodnesswhen the good is profitable.In its swelling pridethe bubble doubts the truth of the sea,and laughs and bursts into emptiness.Love is an endless mystery,for it has nothing else to explain it.My clouds, sorrowing in the dark,forget that they themselveshave hidden the sun.Man discovers his own wealthwhen God comes to ask gifts of him.You leave your memory as a flameto my lonely lamp of separation.I came to offer thee a flower,but thou must have all my garden,—It is thine.The picture—a memory of lighttreasured by the shadow.It is easy to make faces at the sun,He is exposed by his own light in alldirections.History slowly smothers its truth,but hastily struggles to revive itin the terrible penance of pain.My work is rewarded in daily wages,I wait for my final value in love.Beauty knows to say, 'Enough,'barbarism clamours for still more.God loves to see in me, not his servant,but himself who serves all.The darkness of night is in harmony with day,the morning of mist is discordant.In the bounteous time of roses love is wine,—it is food in the famished hourwhen their petals are shed.An unknown flower in a strange landspeaks to the poet:'Are we not of the same soil, my lover? 'I am able to love my Godbecause He gives me freedom to deny Him.My untuned strings beg for musicin their anguished cry of shame.The worm thinks it strange and foolishthat man does not eat his books.The clouded sky to-day bears the visiorof the shadow of a divine sadnesson the forehead of brooding eternity.The shade of my tree is for passers-by,its fruit for the one for whom I wait.Flushed with the glow of sunsetearth seems like a ripe fruitready to be harvested by night.Light accepts darkness for his spousefor the sake of creation.The reed waits for his master's breath,the Master goes seeking for his reed.To the blind pen the hand that writes is unreal,its writing unmeaning.The sea smites his own barren breastbecause he has no flowers to offer to the moon.The greed for fruit misses the flower.God in His temple of starswaits for man to bring him his lamp.The fire restrained in the tree fashions flowers.Released from bonds, the shameless flamedies in barren ashes.The sky sets no snare to capture the moon,it is her own freedom which binds her.The light that fills the skyseeks its limit in a dew-drop on the grass.Wealth is the burden of bigness,Welfare the fulness of being.The razor-blade is proud of its keennesswhen it sneers at the sun.The butterfly has leisure to love the lotus,not the bee busily storing honey.Child, thou bringest to my heartthe babble of the wind and the water,the flower's speechless secrets, the clouds' dreams,the mute gaze of wonder of the morning sky.The rainbow among the clouds may be greatbut the little butterfly among the bushes is greater.The mist weaves her net round the morning,captivates him, and makes him blind.The Morning Star whispers to Dawn,'Tell me that you are only for me.''Yes,' she answers,'And also only for that nameless flower.'The sky remains infinitely vacantfor earth there to build its heaven with dreams.Perhaps the crescent moon smiles in doubtat being told that it is a fragmentawaiting perfection.Let the evening forgive the mistakes of the dayand thus win peace for herself.Beauty smiles in the confinement of the bud,in the heart of a sweet incompleteness.Your flitting love lightly brushed with its wingsmy sun-flowerand never asked if it was ready to surrender its honey.Leaves are silencesaround flowers which are their words.The tree bears its thousand yearsas one large majestic moment.My offerings are not for the temple at the end of the road,but for the wayside shrinesthat surprise me at every bend.Hour smile, my love, like the smell of a strange flower,is simple and inexplicable.Death laughs when the merit of the dead is exaggeratedfor it swells his store with more than he can claim.The sigh of the shore follows in vainthe breeze that hastens the ship across the sea.Truth loves its limits,for there it meets the beautiful.Between the shores of Me and Theethere is the loud ocean, my own surging self,which I long to cross.The right to possess boasts foolishlyof its right to enjoy.The rose is a great deal morethan a blushing apology for the thorn.Day offers to the silence of starshis golden lute to be tunedfor the endless life.The wise know how to teach,the fool how to smite.The centre is still and silent in the heartof an eternal dance of circles.The judge thinks that he is just when he comparesThe oil of another's lampwith the light of his own.The captive flower in the King's wreathsmiles bitterly when the meadow-flower envies her.Its store of snow is the hill's own burden,its outpouring of streams is borne by all the world.Listen to the prayer of the forestfor its freedom in flowers.Let your love see meeven through the barrier of nearness.The spirit of work in creation is thereto carry and help the spirit of play.To carry the burden of the instrument,count the cost of its material,and never to know that it is for music,is the tragedy of deaf life.Faith is the bird that feels the lightand sings when the dawn is still dark.I bring to thee, night, my day's empty cup,to be cleansed with thy cool darknessfor a new morning's festival.The mountain fir, in its rustling,modulates the memory of its fights with the storminto a hymn of peace.God honoured me with his fightwhen I was rebellious,He ignored me when I was languid.The sectarian thinksthat he has the sealadled into his private pond.In the shady depth of lifeare the lonely nests of memoriesthat shrink from words.Let my love find its strengthin the service of day,its peace in the union of night.Life sends up in blades of grassits silent hymn of praiseto the unnamed Light.The stars of night are to methe memorials of my day's faded flowers.Open thy door to that which must go,for the loss becomes unseemly when obstructed.True end is not in the reaching of the limit,but in a completion which is limitless.The shore whispers to the sea:'Write to me what thy waves struggle to say.'The sea writes in foam again and againand wipes off the lines in a boisterous despair.Let the touch of thy finger thrill my life's stringsand make the music thine and mine.The inner world rounded in my life like a fruit,matured in joy and sorrow,will drop into the darkness of the original soilfor some further course of creation.Form is in Matter, rhythm in Force,meaning in the Person.There are seekers of wisdom and seekers of wealth,I seek thy company so that I may sing.As the tree its leaves, I shed my words on the earth,let my thoughts unuttered flower in thy silence.My faith in truth, my vision of the perfect,help thee, Master, in thy creation.All the delights that I have feltin life's fruits and flowerslet me offer to thee at the end of the feast,in a perfect union of love.Some have thought deeply and explored themeaning of thy truth,and they are great; I have listened to catch the music of thy play,and I am glad.The tree is a winged spiritreleased from the bondage of seed,pursuing its adventure of lifeacross the unknown.The lotus offers its beauty to the heaven,the grass its service to the earth.The sun's kiss mellows into abandonmentthe miserliness of the green fruit clinging to its stem.The flame met the earthen lamp in me,and what a great marvel of light! Mistakes live in the neighbourhood of truthand therefore delude us.The cloud laughed at the rainbowsaying that it was an upstartgaudy in its emptiness.The rainbow calmly answered,'I am as inevitably real as the sun himself.'Let me not grope in vain in the darkbut keep my mind still in the faiththat the day will breakand truth will appearin its simplicity.Through the silent nightI hear the returning vagrant hopes of the morningknock at my heart.My new love comesbringing to me the eternal wealth of the old.The earth gazes at the moon and wondersthat she should have all her music in her smile.Day with its glare of curiosityputs the stars to flight.My mind has its true union with thee, O sky,at the window which is mine own,and not in the openwhere thou hast thy sole kingdom.Man claims God's flowers as his ownwhen he weaves them in a garland.The buried city, laid bare to the sun of a new age,is ashamed that is has lost all its song.Like my heart's pain that has long missed its meaning,the sun's rays robed in darkhide themselves under the ground.Like my heart's pain at love's sudden touch,they change their veil at the spring's calland come out in the carnival of colours,in flowers and leaves.My life's empty flutewaits for its final musiclike the primal darknessbefore the stars came out.Emancipation from the bondage of the soilis no freedom for the tree.The tapestry of life's story is wovenwith the threads of life's tiesever joining and breaking.Those thoughts of mine that are never captured by wordsperch upon my song and dance.My soul to-night loses itselfin the silent heart of a treestanding alone among the whispers of immensity.Pearl shells cast up by the seaon death's barren beach,—a magnificent wastefulness of creative life.The sunlight opens for me the word's gate,love's light its treasure.My life like the reed with its stops,has its play of coloursthrough the gaps in its hopes and gains.Let not my thanks to theerob my silence of its fuller homage.Life's aspirations comein the guise of children.The faded flower sighsthat the spring has vanished forever.In my life's gardenmy wealth has been of the shadows and lightsthat are never gathered and stored.The fruit that I Have gained foreveris that which thou hast accepted.The jasmine knows the sun to be her brotherin the heaven.Light is young, the ancient light; shadows are of the moment, they are born old.I feel that the ferry of my songs at the day's endwill bring me across to the other shorefrom where I shall see.The butterfly flitting from flower to flowerever remains mine,I lose the one that is netted by me.Your voice, free bird, reaches my sleeping nest,and my drowsy wings dreamof a voyage to the lightabove the clouds.I miss the meaning of my own partin the play of lifebecause I know not of the partsthat others play.The flower sheds all its petalsand finds the fruit.I leave my songs behind me to the bloom of the ever-returning honeysucklesand the joy of the wind from the south.Dead leaves when they lose themselves in soiltake part in the life of the forest.The mind ever seeks its wordsfrom its sounds and silenceas the sky from its darkness and light.The unseen dark plays on his fluteand the rhythm of lighteddies into stars and suns,into thoughts and dreams.My songs are to singthat I have loved Thy singing.When the voice of the Silent touches my wordsI know him and therefore I know myself.My last salutations are to themwho knew me imperfect and loved me.Love's gift cannot be given,it waits to be accepted.When death comes and whispers to me,'Thy days are ended,'let me say to him, 'I have lived in loveand not in mere time.'He will ask, 'Will thy songs remain? 'I shall say, 'I know not, but this I knowthat often when I sang I found my eternity.''Let me light my lamp,'say the star,'and never debateif it will help to remove the darkness.'Before the end of my journeymay I reach within myselfthe one which is the all,leaving the outer shellto float away with the drifting multitudeupon the current of chance and change."", ""poem.author"": ""Rabindranath

gifts,Is but a sugar-coating over neglect.Any passerby can make a gift of itTo a street beggar,Only to forget the moment the first corner is turned.I had not hoped for anything more that day.You left during the last watch of night.I had hoped you would say goodbye,Just say 'Adieu' before going away,What you had said another day,What I shall never hear again.In their place, just that one word,Bound by the thin fabric of a little compassionWould even that have been too much for you to bear?When I first awoke from sleepMy heart fluttered with fearLest the time had been over.I rushed out of bed.The distant church clock chimed half past twelveI sat waiting near the door of my roomResting my head against it,Facing the porch through which you would come out.Even that tiniest of chancesWas snatched away by fate from hapless me;I fell asleepShortly before you left.Perhaps you cast a sidelong glanceAt my reclining bodyLike a broken boat left high and dry.Perhaps you walked away with careLest you wake me up.Awaking with a start I knew at onceThat my vigil had been wastedI realised, what was to go went away in a moment,What was to stay behind stayed onFor all time.Silence everywhereLike that of a birds' nest bereft of birdsOn the bough of a songless tree.With the lifeless light of the waning moon was now blendedThe pallor of dawnSpreading itself over the greyness of my empty life.I walked towards your bedroomFor no reason.Outside the doorBurnt a smoky lantern covered with soot,The porch smelt of the smouldering wick.Over the abandoned bed the flaps of the rolled-up mosquito-netFluttered a little in the breeze.Seen in the sky outside through the windowWas the morning star,Witness of all sleepless peopleBereft of hope.Suddenly I found you had left behind by mistakeYour gold-mounted ivory walking stick.If there were time, I thought,You might come back from the station to look for it,But not becauseYou had not seen me before going away."", ""poem.author"":

Mungry sat at supper,Took his knife and spoon and fork,Ate a bowl of mushroom soup, ate a slice of roasted pork,Ate a dozen stewed tomatoes, twenty-seven deviled eggs,Fifteen shrimps, nine bakes potatoes,Thirty-two fried chicken legs,A shank of lamb, a boiled ham,Two bowls of grits, some black-eye peas,Four chocolate shakes, eight angel cakes,Nine custard pies with Muenster cheese,Ten pots of tea, and after he,Had eaten all that he was able,He poured some broth on the tableclothAnd ate the kitchen table.His parents said, 'Oh Hungry Mungry, stop these silly jokes.'Mungry opened up his mouth, and 'Gulp,' he ate his folks.And then he went and ate his house, all the bricks and wood,And then he ate up all the people in the neighborhood.Up came twenty angry policeman shouting, 'Stop and cease.'Mungry opened his mouth and 'Gulp,' he ate the police.Soldiers came with tanks and guns.Said Mungry, 'They can't harm me.'He just smiled and licked his lips and ate the U.S. Army.The President sent all his bombers- Mungry still was calm,Put his head back, gulped the planes, and gobbled up the bomb.He ate his town and ate the city- ate and ate and- And then he said, 'I think I'll eat the whole United States.'And so he ate Chicago first and munched the Water Tower,And then he chewed on Pittsburgh but he found it rather sour.He ate New York and Tennessee, and all of Boston town,Then drank the Mississippi River just to wash it down.And when he'd eaten every state, each puppy, boy and girlHe wiped his mouth upon his sleeve and went to eat the world.He ate the Egypt pyramids and every church in Rome,And all the grass in Africa and all in ice in Nome.He ate each hill in green Brazil and then to make things worseHe decided for dessert he'd eat the universe.He started with the moon and stars and soon as he was doneHe gulped the clouds, he sipped the wind and gobbled up the sun.Then sitting there in the cold dark air,He started to nibble his feet,Then his legs, then his hipsThen his neck, then his lipsTill he sat there just gnashin' his teeth'Cause nothin' was nothin' wasNothin' was nothin' wasNothin' was left to eat."", ""poem.author"": ""Shel Silverstein"" },

a joke,and it got lots of laughs from a lot of folks,it seems I had to fight my whole life through.Some gal would giggle and I'd get redand some guy would laugh and I'd bust his head,I tell you, life ain't easy for a boy named Sue.Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean.My fist got hard and my wits got keen.Roamed from town to town to hide my shame,but I made me a vow to the moon and the stars,I'd search the honky tonks and bars and killthat man that gave me that awful name.But it was Gatlinburg in mid July and I hadjust hit town and my throat was dry.I'd thought i'd stop and have myself a brew.At an old saloon in a street of mudand at a table dealing stud sat the dirty,mangy dog that named me Sue.Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dadfrom a worn-out picture that my mother hadand I knew the scar on his cheek and his evil eye.He was big and bent and gray and oldand I looked at him and my blood ran cold,and I said, 'My name is Sue. How do you do?Now you're gonna die.' Yeah, that's what I told him.Well, I hit him right between the eyes and he went downbut to my surprise he came up with a knifeand cut off a piece of my ear. But I busted a chairright across his teeth. And we crashed throughthe wall and into the street kicking and a-gougingin the mud and the blood and the beer.I tell you I've fought tougher men but I really can't remember when.He kicked like a mule and bit like a crocodile.I heard him laughin' and then I heard him cussin',he went for his gun and I pulled mine first.He stood there looking at me and I saw him smile.And he said, 'Son, this world is rough and ifa man's gonna make it, he's gotta be toughand I knew I wouldn't be there to help you along.So I gave you that name and I said 'Goodbye'.I knew you'd have to get tough or die. And it'sthat name that helped to make you strong.'Yeah, he said, 'Now you have just fought onehelluva fight, and I know you hate me and you'vegot the right to kill me now and I wouldn't blame youif you do. But you ought to thank mebefore I die for the gravel in your guts and the spitin your eye because I'm the guy that named you Sue.'Yeah, what could I do? What could I do?I got all choked up and I threw down my gun,called him pa and he called me a son,and I came away with a different point of viewand I think about him now and then.Every time I tried, every time I win and if Iever have a son I think I am gonna name himBill or George - anything but Sue."", ""poem.author"": ""Shel Silverstein"" }, ""17327"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 17327, ""poem.id"": 17327, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:33:55"", ""poem.title"": ""The Giving Tree"", ""poem.date"": ""4/7/2010"", ""poem.content"": ""Once there was a tree....and she loved a little boy.And everyday the boy would comeand he would gather her leavesand make them into crownsand play king of the forest.He would climb up her trunkand swing from her branchesand eat apples.And they would play hide-and-go-seek.And when he was tired,he would sleep in her shade.And the boy loved the tree....very much.And the tree was happy.But time went by.And the boy grew older.And the tree was often alone.Then one day the boy came to the treeand the tree said, 'Come, Boy, come andclimb up my trunk and swing from my branches and eat apples and play in myshade and be happy.''I am too big to climb and play' saidthe boy.'I want to buy things and have fun.I want some money?''I'm sorry,' said the tree, 'but Ihave no money.I have only leaves and apples.Take my apples, Boy, and sell them in the city.

darkling verses dight,And wash my earthy mind in thy clear streams,That wisdom may descend in fairy dreams,All while the jocund hours in thy trainScatter their fancies at thy poet's feet;And when thou yields to night thy wide domain,Let rays of truth enlight his sleeping brain.For brutish Pan in vain might thee assayWith tinkling sounds to dash thy nervous verse,Sound without sense; yet in his rude affray,(For ignorance is Folly's leasing nurseAnd love of Folly needs none other's curse)Midas the praise hath gain'd of lengthen'd ears,For which himself might deem him ne'er the worseTo sit in council with his modern peers,And judge of tinkling rimes and elegances terse.And thou, Mercurius, that with wingèd browDost mount aloft into the yielding sky,And thro' Heav'n's halls thy airy flight dost throw,Entering with holy feet to where on highJove weighs the counsel of futurity;Then, laden with eternal fate, dost goDown, like a falling star, from autumn sky,And o'er the surface of the silent deep dost fly:If thou arrivest at the sandy shoreWhere nought but envious hissing adders dwell,Thy golden rod, thrown on t 1000 he dusty floor,Can charm to harmony with potent spell.Such is sweet Eloquence, that does dispelEnvy and Hate that thirst for human gore;And cause in sweet society to dwellVile savage minds that lurk in lonely cellO Mercury, assist my lab'ring senseThat round the circle of the world would fly,As the wing'd eagle scorns the tow'ry fenceOf Alpine hills round his high aëry,And searches thro' the corners of the sky,Sports in the clouds to hear the thunder's sound,And see the wingèd lightnings as they fly;Then, bosom'd in an amber cloud, aroundPlumes his wide wings, and seeks Sol's palace high.And thou, O warrior maid invincible,Arm'd with the terrors of Almighty Jove,Pallas, Minerva, maiden terrible,Lov'st thou to walk the peaceful solemn grove,In solemn gloom of branches interwove?Or bear'st thy AEgis o'er the burning field,Where, like the sea, the waves of battle move?Or have thy soft piteous eyes beheldThe weary wanderer thro' the desert rove?Or does th' afflicted man thy heav'nly bosom move?"", ""poem.author"": ""William Blake"" }, ""17410"":

snow Wheresoever thou dost go, Thro’ the wintry hail and rain. When wilt thou return again? ’Dost thou not in pride and scorn Fill with tempests all my morn, And with jealousies and fears Fill my pleasant nights with tears? ‘Seven of my sweet loves thy knife Has bereavèd of their life. Their marble tombs I built with tears, And with cold and shuddering fears. ‘Seven more loves weep night and day Round the tombs where my loves lay, And seven more loves attend each night Around my couch with torches bright. ‘And seven more loves in my bed Crown with wine my mournful head, Pitying and forgiving all Thy transgressions great and small. ‘When wilt thou return and view My loves, and them to life renew? When wilt thou return and live? When wilt thou pity as I forgive?’ ‘O’er my sins thou sit and moan: Hast thou no sins of thy own? O’er my sins thou sit and weep, And lull thy own sins fast asleep. ‘What transgressions I commit Are for thy transgressions fit. They thy harlots, thou their slave; And my bed becomes their grave. ‘Never, never, I return: Still for victory I burn. Living, thee alone I’ll have; And when dead I’ll be thy grave. ‘Thro’ the Heaven and Earth and Hell Thou shalt never, quell: I will fly and thou pursue: Night and morn the flight renew.’ ‘Poor, pale, pitiable form That I follow in a storm; Iron tears and groans of lead Bind around my aching head. ‘Till I turn from Female love And root up the Infernal Grove, I shall never worthy be To step into Eternity. ‘And, to end thy cruel mocks, Annihilate thee on the rocks, And another form create To be subservient to my fate. ‘Let us agree to give up love, And root up the Infernal Grove; Then shall we return and see The worlds of happy Eternity. ‘And throughout all Eternity I forgive you, you forgive me.

O sweet Fancy! let her loose; Summer's joys are spoilt by use, And the enjoying of the Spring Fades as does its blossoming; Autumn's red-lipp'd fruitage too, Blushing through the mist and dew, Cloys with tasting: What do then? Sit thee by the ingle, when The sear faggot blazes bright, Spirit of a winter's night; When the soundless earth is muffled, And the caked snow is shuffled From the ploughboy's heavy shoon; When the Night doth meet the Noon In a dark conspiracy To banish Even from her sky. Sit thee there, and send abroad, With a mind self-overaw'd, Fancy, high-commission'd:--send her! She has vassals to attend her: She will bring, in spite of frost, Beauties that the earth hath lost; She will bring thee, all together, All delights of summer weather; All the buds and bells of May, From dewy sward or thorny spray; All the heaped Autumn's wealth, With a still, mysterious stealth: She will mix these pleasures up Like three fit wines in a cup, And thou shalt quaff it:--thou shalt hear Distant harvest-carols clear; Rustle of the reaped corn; Sweet birds antheming the morn: And, in the same moment, hark! 'Tis the early April lark, Or the rooks, with busy caw, Foraging for sticks and straw. Thou shalt, at one glance, behold The daisy and the marigold; White-plum'd lillies, and the first Hedge-grown primrose that hath burst; Shaded hyacinth, alway Sapphire queen of the mid-May; And every leaf, and every flower Pearled with the self-same shower. Thou shalt see the field-mouse peep Meagre from its celled sleep; And the snake all winter-thin Cast on sunny bank its skin; Freckled nest-eggs thou shalt see Hatching in the hawthorn-tree, When the hen-bird's wing doth rest Quiet on her mossy nest; Then the hurry and alarm When the bee-hive casts its swarm; Acorns ripe down-pattering, While the autumn breezes sing. Oh, sweet Fancy! let her loose; Every thing is spoilt by use: Where's the cheek that doth not fade, Too much gaz'd at? Where's the maid Whose lip mature is ever new? Where's the eye, however blue, Doth not weary? Where's the face One would meet in every place? Where's the voice, however soft, One would hear so very oft? At a touch sweet Pleasure melteth Like to bubbles when rain pelteth. Let, then, winged Fancy find Thee a mistress to thy mind: Dulcet-ey'd as Ceres' daughter, Ere the God of Torment taught her How to frown and how to chide; With a waist and with a side White as Hebe's, when her zone Slipt its golden clasp, and down Fell her kirtle to her feet, While she held the goblet sweet And Jove grew languid.--Break the mesh Of the Fancy's silken leash; Quickly break her prison-string And such joys as these she'll bring.-- Let the winged Fancy roam, Pleasure never is at home."", ""poem.author"": ""John Keats"" }, ""17677"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 17677, ""poem.id"": 17677, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:53:26"", ""poem.title"": ""Give Me Women, Wine, And Snuff"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""John Keats"" }, ""17678"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 17678, ""poem.id"": 17678, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:53:33"", ""poem.title"": ""A Song About Myself"", ""poem.date"": ""3/22/2010"", ""poem.content"": ""I.There was a naughty boy,A naughty boy was he,He would not stop at home,He could not quiet be-He tookIn his knapsackA bookFull of vowelsAnd a shirtWith some towels,A slight capFor night cap,A hair brush,Comb ditto,New stockingsFor old onesWould split O!This knapsackTight at's backHe rivetted closeAnd followed his noseTo the north,To the north,And follow'd his noseTo the north.II.There was a naughty boyAnd a naughty boy was he,For nothing would he doBut scribble poetry-He tookAn ink standIn his handAnd a penBig as tenIn the other,And awayIn a potherHe ranTo the mountainsAnd fountainsAnd ghostesAnd postesAnd witchesAnd ditchesAnd wroteIn his coatWhen the weatherWas cool,Fear of gout,And withoutWhen the weatherWas warm-Och the charmWhen we chooseTo follow one's noseTo the north,To the north,To follow one's noseTo the north!III.There was a naughty boyAnd a naughty boy was he,He kept little fishesIn washing tubs threeIn spiteOf the mightOf the maidNor afraidOf his Granny-good-He often wouldHurly burlyGet up earlyAnd goBy hook or crookTo the brookAnd bring homeMiller's thumb,TittlebatNot over fat,Minnows smallAs the stallOf a glove,Not aboveThe sizeOf a niceLittle baby'sLittle fingers-O he made'Twas his tradeOf fish a pretty kettleA kettle-A kettleOf fish a pretty kettleA kettle!IV.There was a naughty boy,And a naughty boy was he,He ran away to ScotlandThe people for to see-There he foundThat the groundWas as hard,That a yardWas as long,That a songWas as merry,That a cherryWas as red,That leadWas as weighty,That fourscoreWas as eighty,That a doorWas as woodenAs in England-So he stood in his shoesAnd he wonder'd,He wonder'd,He stood in hisShoes and he wonder'd."", ""poem.author"": ""John Keats"" }, ""17679"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 17679, ""poem.id"": 17679, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:53:38"", ""poem.title"": ""Ode To Autumn"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""John Keats"" }, ""17680"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 17680, ""poem.id"": 17680, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:53:41"", ""poem.title"": ""His Last Sonnet"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""John Keats"" }, ""17681"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 17681, ""poem.id"": 17681, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:53:48"", ""poem.title"": ""Ode On A Grecian Urn"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": ""Thou still unravish'd bride of quietness, Thou foster-child of silence and slow time, Sylvan historian, who canst thus express A flowery tale more sweetly than our rhyme: What leaf-fring'd legend haunts about thy shape Of deities or mortals, or of both, In Tempe or the dales of Arcady? What men or gods are these? What maidens loth? What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape? What pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy? Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard Are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on; Not to the sensual ear, but, more endear'd, Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone: Fair youth, beneath the trees, thou canst not leave Thy song, nor ever can those trees be bare; Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss, Though winning near the goal yet, do not grieve; She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss, For ever wilt thou love, and she be fair! Ah, happy, happy boughs! that cannot shed Your leaves, nor ever bid the Spring adieu; And, happy melodist, unwearied, For ever piping songs for ever new; More happy love! more happy, happy love! For ever warm and still to be enjoy'd, For ever panting, and for ever young; All breathing human passion far above, That leaves a heart high-sorrowful and cloy'd, A burning forehead, and a parching tongue. Who are these coming to the sacrifice? To what green altar, O mysterious priest, Lead'st thou that heifer lowing at the skies, And all her silken flanks with garlands drest? What little town by river or sea shore, Or mountain-built with peaceful citadel, Is emptied of this folk, this pious morn?

Still wouldst thou sing, and I have ears in vain--- To thy high requiem become a sodThou wast not born for death, immortal Bird! No hungry generations tread thee down;The voice I hear this passing night was heard In ancient days by emperor and clown:Perhaps the self-same song that found a path Through the sad heart of Ruth, when, sick for home, She stood in tears amid the alien corn; The same that oft-times hath Charmed magic casements, opening on the foam Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn.Forlorn! the very word is like a bell To toll me back from thee to my sole self!Adieu! the fancy cannot cheat so well As she is famed to do, deceiving elf.Adieu! adieu! thy plaintive anthem fades Past the near meadows, over the still stream, Up the hill-side; and now 'tis buried deep In the next valley-glades: Was it a vision, or a waking dream?

of time and space, and was never measured and never will be measured.I tramp a perpetual journey, (come listen all!)My signs are a rain-proof coat, good shoes, and a staff cut from the woods,No friend of mine takes his ease in my chair,I have no chair, no church, no philosophy,I lead no man to a dinner-table, library, exchange,But each man and each woman of you I lead upon a knoll,My left hand hooking you round the waist,My right hand pointing to landscapes of continents and the public road.Not I, not any one else can travel that road for you,You must travel it for yourself.It is not far, it is within reach,Perhaps you have been on it since you were born and did not know,Perhaps it is everywhere on water and on land.Shoulder your duds dear son, and I will mine, and let us hasten forth,Wonderful cities and free nations we shall fetch as we go.If you tire, give me both burdens, and rest the chuff of your hand on my hip,And in due time you shall repay the same service to me,For after we start we never lie by again.This day before dawn I ascended a hill and look'd at the crowded heaven,And I said to my spirit When we become the enfolders of those orbs, and the pleasure and knowledge of every thing in them, shall we be fill'd and satisfied then?And my spirit said No, we but level that lift to pass and continue beyond.You are also asking me questions and I hear you,I answer that I cannot answer, you must find out for yourself.Sit a while dear son,Here are biscuits to eat and here is milk to drink,But as soon as you sleep and renew yourself in sweet clothes, I kiss you with a good-by kiss and open the gate for your egress hence.Long enough have you dream'd contemptible dreams,Now I wash the gum from your eyes,You must habit yourself to the dazzle of the light and of every moment of your life.Long have you timidly waded holding a plank by the shore,Now I will you to be a bold swimmer,To jump off in the midst of the sea, rise again, nod to me, shout, and

relishing well his steak,Unrequited love or a slight cutting him worse than sharp steel cuts,First-rate to ride, to fight, to hit the bull's eye, to sail a skiff, to sing a song or play on the banjo,Preferring scars and the beard and faces pitted with small-pox over all latherers,And those well-tann'd to those that keep out of the sun.I teach straying from me, yet who can stray from me?I follow you whoever you are from the present hour,My words itch at your ears till you understand them.I do not say these things for a dollar or to fill up the time while I wait for a boat,(It is you talking just as much as myself, I act as the tongue of you,Tied in your mouth, in mine it begins to be loosen'd.)I swear I will never again mention love or death inside a house,And I swear I will never translate myself at all, only to him or her who privately stays with me in the open air.If you would understand me go to the heights or water-shore,The nearest gnat is an explanation, and a drop or motion of waves a key,The maul, the oar, the hand-saw, second my words.No shutter'd room or school can commune with me,But roughs and little children better than they.The young mechanic is closest to me, he knows me well,The woodman that takes his axe and jug with him shall take me with him all day,The farm-boy ploughing in the field feels good at the sound of my voice,In vessels that sail my words sail, I go with fishermen and seamen and love them.The soldier camp'd or upon the march is mine,On the night ere the pending battle many seek me, and I do not fail them,On that solemn night (it may be their last) those that know me seek me.My face rubs to the hunter's face when he lies down alone in his blanket,The driver thinking of me does not mind the jolt of his wagon,The young mother

ballasts leave me, my elbows rest in sea-gaps,I skirt sierras, my palms cover continents,I am afoot with my vision.By the city's quadrangular houses—in log huts, camping with lumbermen,Along the ruts of the turnpike, along the dry gulch and rivulet bed,Weeding my onion-patch or hoeing rows of carrots and parsnips, crossing savannas, trailing in forests,Prospecting, gold-digging, girdling the trees of a new purchase,Scorch'd ankle-deep by the hot sand, hauling my boat down the shallow river,Where the panther walks to and fro on a limb overhead, where the buck turns furiously at the hunter,Where the rattlesnake suns his flabby length on a rock, where the otter is feeding on fish,Where the alligator in his tough pimples sleeps by the bayou,Where the black bear is searching for roots or honey, where the beaver patsthe mud with his paddle-shaped tail;Over the growing sugar, over the yellow-flower'd cotton plant, over the rice in its low moist field,Over the sharp-peak'd farm house, with its scallop'd scum and slender shoots from the gutters,Over the western persimmon, over the long-leav'd corn, over the delicate blue-flower flax,Over the white and brown buckwheat, a hummer and buzzer there with the rest,Over the dusky green of the rye as it ripples and shades in the breeze;Scaling mountains, pulling myself cautiously up, holding on by low scragged limbs,Walking the path worn in the grass and beat through the leaves of the brush,Where the quail is whistling betwixt the woods and the wheat-lot,Where the bat flies in the Seventh-month eve, where the great gold- bug drops through the dark,Where the brook puts out of the roots of the old tree and flows to the meadow,Where cattle stand and shake away flies with the tremulous shud- dering of their hides,Where the cheese-cloth hangs in the kitchen, where andirons straddle the hearth-slab, where cobwebs fall in festoons from the rafters;Where trip-hammers crash, where the press is whirling its cylinders,Wherever the human heart beats with terrible throes under its ribs,Where the pear-shaped balloon is floating aloft, (floating in it my- self and looking composedly down,)Where the life-car is drawn on the slip-noose, where the heat hatches pale-green eggs in the dented sand,Where the she-whale swims with her calf and never forsakes it,Where the steam-ship trails hind-ways its long pennant of smoke,Where the fin of the shark cuts like a black chip out of the water,Where the half-burn'd brig is riding on unknown currents,Where shells grow to her slimy deck, where the dead are corrupt- ing below;Where the dense-starr'd flag is borne at the head of the regiments,Approaching Manhattan up by the long-stretching island,Under Niagara, the cataract falling like a veil over my countenance,Upon a door-step, upon the horse-block of hard wood outside,Upon the race-course, or enjoying picnics or jigs or a good game of base-ball,At he-festivals, with blackguard gibes, ironical license, bull-dances, drinking, laughter,At the cider-mill tasting the sweets of the brown mash, sucking the juice through a straw,At apple-peelings wanting kisses for all the red fruit I find,At musters, beach-parties, friendly bees, huskings, house-raisings;Where the mocking-bird sounds his delicious gurgles, cackles, screams, weeps,Where the hay-rick stands in the barn-yard, where the dry-stalks are scatter'd, where the brood-cow waits in the hovel,Where the bull advances to do his masculine work, where the stud to the mare, where the cock is treading the hen,Where the heifers browse, where geese nip their food with short jerks,Where sun-down shadows lengthen over the limitless and lonesome prairie,Where herds of buffalo make a crawling spread of the square miles far and near,Where the humming-bird shimmers, where the neck of the long- lived swan is curving and winding,Where the laughing-gull scoots by the shore, where she laughs her near-human laugh,Where bee-hives range on a gray bench in the garden half hid by the high weeds,Where band-neck'd partridges roost in a ring on the ground with their heads out,Where burial coaches enter the arch'd gates of a cemetery,Where winter wolves bark amid wastes of snow and icicled trees,Where the yellow-crown'd heron comes to the edge of the marsh at night and feeds upon small crabs,Where the splash of swimmers and divers cools the warm noon,Where the katy-did works her chromatic reed on the walnut-tree over the well,Through patches of citrons and cucumbers with silver-wired leaves,Through the salt-lick or orange glade, or under conical firs,Through the gymnasium, through the curtain'd saloon, through the office or public hall;Pleas'd with the native and pleas'd with the foreign, pleas'd with the new and old,Pleas'd with the homely woman as well as the handsome,Pleas'd with the quakeress as she puts off her bonnet and talks melodiously,Pleas'd with the tune of the choir of the whitewash'd church,Pleas'd with the earnest words of the sweating Methodist preach- er, impress'd seriously at the camp-meeting;Looking in at the shop-windows of Broadway the whole forenoon, flatting the flesh of my nose on the thick plate glass,Wandering the same afternoon with my face turn'd up to the clouds, or down a lane or along the beach,My right and left arms round the sides of two friends, and I in the middle;Coming home with the silent and dark-cheek'd bush-boy, (behind me he rides at the drape of the day,)Far from the settlements studying the print of animals' feet, or the moccasin print,By the cot in the hospital reaching lemonade to a feverish patient,Nigh the coffin'd corpse when all is still, examining with a candle;Voyaging to every port to dicker and adventure,Hurrying with the modern crowd as eager and fickle as any,Hot toward one I hate, ready in my madness to knife him,Solitary at midnight in my back yard, my thoughts gone from me a long while,Walking the old hills of Judaea with the beautiful gentle God by my side,Speeding through space, speeding through heaven and the stars,Speeding amid the seven satellites and the broad ring, and the diameter of eighty thousand miles,Speeding with tail'd meteors, throwing fire-balls like the rest,Carrying the crescent child that carries its own full mother in its belly,Storming, enjoying, planning, loving, cautioning,Backing and filling, appearing and disappearing,I tread day and night such roads.I visit the orchards of spheres and look at the product,And look at quintillions ripen'd and look at quintillions green.I fly those flights of a fluid and swallowing soul,My course runs below the soundings of plummets.I help myself to material and immaterial,No guard can shut me off, no law prevent me.I anchor my ship for a little while only,My messengers continually cruise away or bring their returns to me.I go hunting polar furs and the seal, leaping chasms with a pike- pointed staff, clinging to topples of brittle and blue.I ascend to the foretruck,I take my place late at night in the crow's-nest,We sail the arctic sea, it is plenty light enough,Through the clear atmosphere I stretch around on the wonderful beauty,The enormous masses of ice pass me and I pass them, the scenery is plain in all directions,The white-topt mountains show in the distance, I fling out my fancies toward them,We are approaching some great battle-field in which we are soon to be engaged,We pass the colossal outposts of the encampment, we pass with still feet and caution,Or we are entering by the suburbs some vast and ruin'd city,The blocks and fallen architecture more than all the living cities of the globe.I am a free companion, I bivouac by invading watchfires,I turn the bridegroom out of bed and stay with the bride myself,I tighten her all night to my thighs and lips.My voice is the wife's voice, the screech by the rail of the stairs,They fetch my man's body up dripping and drown'd.I understand the large hearts of heroes,The courage of present times and all times,How the skipper saw the crowded and rudderless wreck of the steam-ship, and Death chasing it up and down the storm,How he knuckled tight and gave not back an inch, and was faith ful of days and faithful of nights,And chalk'd in large letters on a board, Be of good cheer, we will not desert you;How he follow'd with them and tack'd with them three days and would not give it up,How he saved the drifting company at last,How the lank loose-gown'd women look'd when boated from the side of their prepared graves,How the silent old-faced infants and the lifted sick, and the sharp- lipp'd unshaved men;All this I swallow, it tastes good, I like it well, it becomes mine,I am the man, I suffer'd, I was there.The disdain and calmness of martyrs,The mother of old, condemn'd for a witch, burnt with dry wood, her children gazing on,The hounded slave that flags in the race, leans by the fence, blow- ing, cover'd with sweat,The twinges that sting like needles his legs and neck, the mur- derous buckshot and the bullets,All these I feel or am.I am the hounded slave, I wince at the bite of the dogs,Hell and despair are upon me, crack and again crack the marks- men,I clutch the rails of the fence, my gore dribs, thinn'd with the ooze of my skin,I fall on the weeds and stones,The riders spur their unwilling horses, haul close,Taunt my dizzy ears and beat me violently over the head with whip-stocks.Agonies are one of my changes of garments,I do not ask the wounded person how he feels, I myself become the wounded person,My hurts turn livid upon me as I lean on a cane and observe.I am the mash'd fireman with breast-bone broken,Tumbling walls buried me in their debris,Heat and smoke I inspired, I heard the yelling shouts of my com- rades,I heard the distant click of their picks and shovels,They have clear'd the beams away, they tenderly lift me forth.I lie in the night air in my red shirt, the pervading hush is for my sake,Painless after all I lie exhausted but not so unhappy,White and beautiful are the faces around me, the heads are bared of their fire-caps,The kneeling crowd fades with the light of the torches.Distant and dead resuscitate,They show as the dial or move as the hands of me, I am the clock myself.I am an old artillerist, I tell of my fort's bombardment,I am there again.Again the long roll of the drummers,Again the attacking cannon, mortars,Again to my listening ears the cannon responsive.I take part, I see and hear the whole,The cries, curses, roar, the plaudits for well-aim'd shots,The ambulanza slowly passing trailing its red drip,Workmen searching after damages, making indispensable repairs,The fall of grenades through the rent roof, the fan-shaped explo- sion,The whizz of limbs, heads, stone, wood, iron, high in the air.Again gurgles the mouth of my dying general, he furiously waves with his hand,He gasps through the clot Mind not me—mind—the entrench- ments."",

and for myself,Now I awhile return to thee, O soil of autumn fields,Reclining on thy breast, giving myself to thee,Answering the pulses of thy sane and equable heart,Tuning a verse for thee.O Earth, that hast no voice, confide to me a voice,O harvest of my lands—O boundless Summer growths!O lavish brown parturient earth—O infinite, teeming womb.A song to narrate thee.2Ever upon this stage,Is acted God's calm, annual drama,Gorgeous processions, songs of birds,Sunrise that fullest feeds and freshens most the soul,The heaving sea, the waves upon the shore, the musical, strong waves,The woods, the stalwart trees, the slender, tapering trees,The lilliput countless armies of the grass,The heat, the showers, the measureless pasturages,The scenery of the snows, the wind's free orchestra,The stretching, light-hung roof of clouds, the clear cerulean and the silvery fringes,The high dilating stars, the placid beckoning stars,The shows of all the varied soils, and all the growths and products,The moving flocks and herds, the plains and emerald meadows,The shows of all the varied lands and all the growths and products.3Fecund America—to-day,Thou art all over set in births and joys!Thou groan'st with riches! thy wealth clothes thee as a swathing garment,Thou laughest loud with ache of great possessions,A myriad-twining life, like interlacing vines, binds all thy vast demesne,As some huge ship freighted to water's edge thou ridest into port,As rain falls from the heaven, and vapors rise from the earth, so have the precious values fallen upon thee, and risen out of thee;Thou envy of the globe! thou miracle!Thou, bathed, choked, swimming in plenty,Thou lucky Mistress of the tranquil barns,Thou Prairie Dame that sittest in the middle and lookest out upon thy world, and lookest East, and lookest West,Dispensatress, that by a word givest a thousand miles, a million farms, and missest nothing,Thou all-acceptress—thou hospitable, (thou only art hospitable as God is hospitable.)4When late I sang sad was my voice;Sad were the shows around me with deafening noises of hatred and smoke of war;In the midst of the conflict, the heroes, I stood,Or pass'd with slow step through the wounded and dying.But now I sing not War,Nor the measur'd march of soldiers, nor the tents of camps,Nor the regiments hastily coming up, deploying in line of battle;No more the sad, unnatural shows of war.Ask'd room those flush'd immortal ranks, the first forth-stepping armies?Ask room alas the ghastly ranks—the armies dread that follow'd.(Pass—pass, ye proud brigades, with your tramping, sinewy legs,With your shoulders young and strong, with your knapsacks and your muskets;How elate I stood and watch'd you, where starting off you march'd.Pass;—then rattle drums again,For an army heaves in sight, O another gathering army,Swarming, trailing on the rear, O you dread accruing army,O you regiments so piteous, with your mortal diarrhea, with your fever,O my land's maimed darlings, with the plenteous bloody bandage and the crutch,Lo, your pallid army follows.)5But on these days of brightness, On the far-stretching beauteous landscape, the roads and lanes, the high-piled farm-wagons, and the fruits and barns, Should the dead intrude?Ah the dead to me mar not, they fit well in Nature,They fit very well in the landscape under the trees and grass,And along the edge of the sky in the horizon's far margin.Nor do I forget you Departed;Nor in winter or summer my lost ones,But most in the open air as now when my soul is rapt and at peace, like pleasing phantoms, Your memories rising glide silently by me.6I saw the day the return of the heroes;(Yet the heroes never surpass'd shall never return,Them that day I saw not.)I saw the interminable corps, I saw the processions of armies,I saw them approaching, defiling by with divisions,Streaming northward, their work done, camping awhile in clusters of mighty camps.No holiday soldiers—youthful, yet veterans,Worn, swart, handsome, strong, of the stock of homestead and workshop,Harden'd of many a long campaign and sweaty march,Inured on many a hard-fought bloody field.A pause—the armies wait,A million flush'd embattled conquerors wait,The world too waits, then soft as breaking night and sure as dawn,They melt, they disappear.Exult O lands! victorious lands!Not there your victory on those red shuddering fields;But here and hence your victory.Melt, melt away, ye armies—disperse, ye blue-clad soldiers,Resolve ye back again, give up for good your deadly arms,Other the arms the fields henceforth for you, or South or North,With saner wars, sweet wars, life-giving wars.7Loud O my throat, and clear O soul!The season of thanks and the voice of full-yielding,The chant of joy and power for boundless fertility.All till'd and untill'd fields expand before me,I see the true arenas of my race and land—or first or last,Man's innocent and strong arenas.I see the heroes at other toils,I see well-wielded in their hands the better weapons.I see where the Mother of All,With full-spanning eye gazes forth, dwells long,And counts the varied gathering of the products.Busy the far, the sunlit panorama,Prairie, orchard, and yellow grain of the North,Cotton and rice of the South and Louisianian cane,Open unseeded fallows, rich fields of clover and timothy,Kine and horses feeding, and droves of sheep and swine,And many a stately river flowing and many a jocund brook,And healthy uplands with herby-perfumed breezes,And the good green grass, that delicate miracle the ever-recurring grass.8Toil on heroes! harvest the products!Not alone on those warlike fields the Mother of All,With dilated form and lambent eyes watch'd you.Toil on heroes! toil well! handle the weapons well!The Mother of All, yet here as ever she watches you.Well-pleased America thou beholdest,Over the fields of the West, those crawling monsters,The human-divine inventions, the labor-saving implements;Beholdest, moving in every direction imbued as with life the revolving hay-rakes,The steam-power reaping-machines and the horse-power machines,The engines, thrashers of grain, and cleaners of grain, well separating the straw, the nimble work of the patent pitchfork;Beholdest the newer saw-mill, the southern cotton-gin, and the rice-cleanser.Beneath thy look O Maternal,With these and else and with their own strong hands the heroes harvest.All gather and all harvest;Yet but for thee O Powerful, not a scythe might swing as now in security,Not a maize-stalk dangle as now its silken tassels in peace.Under thee only they harvest, even but a wisp of hay under thy great face only,Harvest the wheat of Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, every barbed spear under thee,Harvest the maize of Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, each ear in its light-green sheath,Gather the hay to its myriad mows in the odorous tranquil barns,Oats to their bins, the white potato, the buckwheat of Michigan, to theirs;Gather the cotton in Mississippi or Alabama, dig and hoard the golden the sweet potato of Georgia and the Carolinas,Clip the wool of California or Pennsylvania,Cut the flax in the Middle States, or hemp or tobacco in the Borders,Pick the pea and the bean, or pull apples from the trees or bunches of grapes from the vines,Or aught that ripens in all these States or North or South,Under the beaming sun and under thee."", ""poem.author"": ""Walt Whitman"" }, ""17738"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 17738, ""poem.id"": 17738, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:54:28"", ""poem.title"": ""Virgil

hell than there is now.Urge and urge and urge,Always the procreant urge of the world.Out of the dimness opposite equals advance, always substance and increase, always sex,Always a knit of identity,

unseen is proved by the seen,Till that becomes unseen and receives proof in its turn.Showing the best and dividing it from the worst age vexes age,Knowing the perfect fitness and equanimity of things, while they discuss I am silent, and go bathe and admire myself.Welcome is every organ and attribute of me, and of any man hearty and clean,Not an inch nor a particle of an inch is vile, and none shall be less familiar than the rest.I am satisfied—I see, dance, laugh, sing; As the hugging and loving bed-fellow sleeps at my side through the night, and withdraws at the peep of the day with stealthy tread.Leaving me baskets cover'd with white towels swelling the house with their plenty,Shall I postpone my acceptation and realization and scream at my eyes,That they turn from gazing after and down

will go to the bank by the wood and become undisguised and naked,I am mad for it to be in contact with me.The smoke of my own breath,Echoes, ripples, buzz'd whispers, love-root, silk-thread, crotch and vine,My respiration and inspiration, the beating of my heart, the pass- ing of blood and air through my lungs,The sniff of green leaves and dry leaves, and of the shore and dark-color'd sea-rocks, and of hay in the barn,The sound of the belch'd words of my voice loos'd to the eddies of the wind,A few light kisses, a few embraces, a reaching around of arms,The play of shine and shade on the trees as the supple boughs wag,The delight alone or in the rush of the streets, or along the fields and hill-sides,The feeling of health, the full-noon trill, the song of me rising from bed and meeting the sun.Have you reckon'd a thousand acres much? have you reckon'd the earth much?Have you practis'd so long to learn to read?Have you felt so proud to get at the meaning of poems?Stop this day and night with me and you shall possess the origin of all poems,You shall possess the good of the earth and sun, (there are millions of suns left,)You shall no longer take things at second or third hand, nor look through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in books,You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me,You shall listen to all sides and filter them from your self."", ""poem.author"": ""Walt Whitman"" }, ""17785"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 17785, ""poem.id"": 17785, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 04:57:40"", ""poem.title"": ""Warble Of Lilac-Time"",

I pass the crowd, I run!The sight of the flames maddens me with pleasure.O the joy of the strong-brawn'd fighter, towering in the arena inperfect condition, conscious of power, thirsting to meet hisopponent.O the joy of that vast elemental sympathy which only the humansoul is capable of generating and emitting in steady andlimitless floods.O the mother's joys!The watching, the endurance, the precious love, the anguish, thepatiently yielded life.O the of increase, growth, recuperation,The joy of soothing and pacifying, the joy of concord and harmony.O to go back to the place where I was born,To hear the birds sing once more,To ramble about the house and barn and over the fields once more,And through the orchard and along the old lanes once more.O to have been brought up on bays, lagoons, creeks, or along the coast,To continue and be employ'd there all my life,The briny and damp smell, the shore, the salt weeds exposed at low water,The work of fishermen, the work of the eel-fisher and clam-fisher;I come with my clam-rake and spade, I come with my eel-spear,Is the tide out? I Join the group of clam-diggers on the flats,I laugh and work with them, I joke at my work like a mettlesomeyoung man;In winter I take my eel-basket and eel-spear and travel out on footon the ice-I have a small axe to cut holes in the ice,Behold me well-clothed going gayly or returning in the afternoon,my brood of tough boys accompanying me,My brood of grown and part-grown boys, who love to be with noone else so well as they love to be with me,By day to work with me, and by night to sleep with me.Another time in warm weather out in a boat, to lift the lobster-potswhere they are sunk with heavy stones, (I know the buoys,)O the sweetness of the Fifth-month morning upon the water as I rowjust before sunrise toward the buoys,I pull the wicker pots up slantingly, the dark green lobsters aredesperate with their claws as I take them out, I insertwooden pegs in the ‘oints of their pincers,I go to all the places one after another, and then row back to theshore,There in a huge kettle of boiling water the lobsters shall be boil'dtill their color becomes scarlet.Another time mackerel-taking,Voracious, mad for the hook, near the surface, they seem to fill thewater for miles;Another time fishing for rock-fish in Chesapeake bay, I one of thebrown-faced crew;Another time trailing for blue-fish off Paumanok, I stand withbraced body,My left foot is on the gunwale, my right arm throws far out thecoils of slender rope,In sight around me the quick veering and darting of fifty skiffs, mycompanions.O boating on the rivers,The voyage down the St. Lawrence, the superb scenery, the steamers,The ships sailing, the Thousand Islands, the occasional timber-raftand the raftsmen with long-reaching sweep-oars,The little huts on the rafts, and the stream of smoke when they cooksupper at evening.(O something pernicious and dread!Something far away from a puny and pious life!Something unproved! something in a trance!Something escaped from the anchorage and driving free.)O to work in mines, or forging iron,Foundry casting, the foundry itself, the rude high roof, the ampleand shadow'd space,The furnace, the hot liquid pour'd out and running.O to resume the joys of the soldier!To feel the presence of a brave commanding officer-to feel hissympathy!To behold his calmness-to be warm'd in the rays of his smile!To go to battle-to hear the bugles play and the drums beat!To hear the crash of artillery-to see the glittering of the bayonetsand musket-barrels in the sun!To see men fall and die and not complain!To taste the savage taste of blood-to be so devilish!To gloat so over the wounds and deaths of the enemy.O the whaleman's joys! O I cruise my old cruise again!I feel the ship's motion under me, I feel the Atlantic breezesfanning me,I hear the cry again sent down from the mast-head, There- sheblows!Again I spring up the rigging to look with the rest- we descend,wild with excitement,I leap in the lower'd boat, we row toward our prey where he lies,We approach stealthy and silent, I see the mountainous mass,lethargic, basking,I see the harpooneer standing up, I see the weapon dart from hisvigorous arm;O swift again far out in the ocean the wounded whale, settling,running to windward, tows me,Again I see him rise to breathe, we row close again,I see a lance driven through his side, press'd deep, turn'd in thewound,Again we back off, I see him settle again, the life is leaving himfast,As he rises he spouts blood, I see him swim in circles narrower andnarrower, swiftly cutting the water-I see him die,He gives one convulsive leap in the centre of the circle, and thenfalls flat and still in the bloody foam.O the old manhood of me, my noblest joy of all!My children and grand-children, my white hair and beard,My largeness, calmness, majesty, out of the long stretch of my life.O ripen'd joy of womanhood! O happiness at last!I am more than eighty years of age, I am the most venerable mother,How clear is my mind-how all people draw nigh to me!What attractions are these beyond any before? what bloom morethan the bloom of youth?What beauty is this that descends upon me and rises out of me?O the orator's joys!To inflate the chest, to roll the thunder of the voice out from theribs and throat,To make the people rage, weep, hate, desire, with yourself,To lead America-to quell America with a great tongue.O the joy of my soul leaning pois'd on itself, receiving identitythrough materials and loving them, observing charactersand absorbing them,My soul vibrated back to me from them, from sight, hearing, touch,reason, articulation, comparison, memory, and the like,The real life of my senses and flesh transcending my senses andflesh,My body done with materials, my sight done with my material eyes,Proved to me this day beyond cavil that it is not my material eyeswhich finally see,Nor my material body which finally loves, walks, laughs, shouts,embraces, procreates.O the farmer's joys!Ohioan's, Illinoisian's, Wisconsinese', Kanadian's, Iowan's,Kansian's, Missourian's, Oregonese' joys!To rise at peep of day and pass forth nimbly to work,To plough land in the fall for winter-sown crops,To plough land in the spring for maize,To train orchards, to graft the trees, to gather apples in the fall.O to bathe in the swimming-bath, or in a good place along shore,To splash the water! to walk ankle-deep, or race naked along theshore.O to realize space!The plenteousness of all, that there are no bounds,To emerge and be of the sky, of the sun and moon and flyingclouds, as one with them.O the joy a manly self-hood!To be servile to none, to defer to none, not to any tyrant known orunknown,To walk with erect carriage, a step springy and elastic,To look with calm gaze or with a flashing eye,To speak with a full and sonorous voice out of a broad chest,To confront with your personality all the other personalities of theearth.Know'st thou the excellent joys of youth?Joys of the dear companions and of the merry word and laughingface?Joy of the glad light-beaming day, joy of the wide-breath'd games?Joy of sweet music, joy of the lighted ball-room and the dancers?Joy of the plenteous dinner, strong carouse and drinking?Yet O my soul supreme!Know'st thou the joys of pensive thought?Joys of the free and lonesome heart, the tender, gloomy heart?Joys of the solitary walk, the spirit bow'd yet proud, the sufferingand the struggle?The agonistic throes, the ecstasies, joys of the solemn musings dayor night?Joys of the thought of Death, the great spheres Time and Space?Prophetic joys of better, loftier love's ideals, the divine wife,the sweet, eternal, perfect comrade?Joys all thine own undying one, joys worthy thee O soul.O while I live to be the ruler of life, not a slave,To meet life as a powerful conqueror,No fumes, no ennui, no more complaints or scornful criticisms,To these proud laws of the air, the water and the ground, provingmy interior soul impregnable,And nothing exterior shall ever take command of me.For not life's joys alone I sing, repeating-the joy of death!The beautiful touch of Death, soothing and benumbing a few moments,for reasons,Myself discharging my excrementitious body to be burn'd, or render'dto powder, or buried,My real body doubtless left to me for other spheres,My voided body nothing more to me, returning to the purifications,further offices, eternal uses of the earth.O to attract by more than attraction!How it is I know not-yet behold! the something which obeys noneof the rest,It is offensive, never defensive-yet how magnetic it draws.O to struggle against great odds, to meet enemies undaunted!To be entirely alone with them, to find how much one can stand!To look strife, torture, prison, popular odium, face to face!To mount the scaffold, to advance to the muzzles of guns withperfect nonchalance!To be indeed a God!O to sail to sea in a ship!To leave this steady unendurable land,To leave the tiresome sameness of the streets, the sidewalks and thehouses,To leave you O you solid motionless land, and entering a ship,To sail and sail and sail!O to have life henceforth a poem of new joys!To dance, clap hands, exult, shout, skip, leap, roll on, float on!To be a sailor of the world bound for all ports,A ship itself, (see indeed these sails I spread to the sun and air,)A swift and swelling ship full of rich words, full of joys."", ""poem.author"": ""Walt Whitman"" },

The Yankee clipper is under her sky-sails, she cuts the sparkle and scud,My eyes settle the land, I bend at her prow or shout joyously from the deck. The boatmen and clam-diggers arose early and stopt for me, I tuck'd my trowser-ends in my boots and went and had a good time;You should have been with us that day round the chowder- kettle.I saw the marriage of the trapper in the open air in the far west, the bride was a red girl,Her father and his friends sat near cross-legged and dumbly smoking, they had moccasins to their feet and large thick blankets hanging from their shoulders,On a bank lounged the trapper, he was drest mostly in skins, his luxuriant beard and curls protected his neck, he held his bride by the hand,She had long eyelashes, her head was bare, her coarse straight locks descended upon her voluptuous limbs and reach'd to her feet.The runaway slave came to my house and stopt outside, I heard his motions crackling the twigs of the woodpile, Through the swung half-door of the kitchen I saw him limpsy and weak,And went where he sat on a log and led him in and assured him,And brought water and fill'd a tub for his sweated body and bruis'd feet,And gave him a room that enter'd from my own, and gave him some coarse clean clothes,And remember perfectly well his revolving eyes and his awkwardness,And remember putting plasters on the galls of his neck and ankles;He staid with me a week before he was recuperated and pass'd north,I had him sit next me at table, my fire-lock lean'd in the corner."", ""poem.author"": ""Walt Whitman"" }, ""18033"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18033, ""poem.id"": 18033, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:16:29"", ""poem.title"": ""Song Of The Open Road"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Walt Whitman"" }, ""18034"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18034, ""poem.id"": 18034, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:16:32"", ""poem.title"": ""As At Thy Portals Also Death"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Walt Whitman"" }, ""18035"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18035, ""poem.id"": 18035, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:16:37"", ""poem.title"": ""Behavior"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Walt Whitman"" }, ""18036"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18036, ""poem.id"": 18036, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:16:41"", ""poem.title"": ""City Of Ships"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Walt Whitman"" }, ""18037"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18037, ""poem.id"": 18037, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:16:44"", ""poem.title"": ""Cavalry Crossing A Ford"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Walt Whitman"" }, ""18038"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18038, ""poem.id"": 18038, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:16:48"", ""poem.title"": ""Give Me The Splendid, Silent Sun"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Walt Whitman"" }, ""18039"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18039, ""poem.id"": 18039, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:16:51"", ""poem.title"": ""O Hymen!

I love to look on the stars and stripes--I hope the fifes will play Yankee Doodle. How bright shine the cutlasses of the foremost troops! Every man holds his revolver, marching stiff through Boston town. A fog follows--antiques of the same come limping, Some appear wooden-legged, and some appear bandaged and bloodless. 10 Why this is indeed a show! It has called the dead out of the earth! The old grave-yards of the hills have hurried to see! Phantoms! phantoms countless by flank and rear! Cock'd hats of mothy mould! crutches made of mist! Arms in slings! old men leaning on young men's shoulders! What troubles you, Yankee phantoms? What is all this chattering of bare gums? Does the ague convulse your limbs? Do you mistake your crutches for fire-locks, and level them? If you blind your eyes with tears, you will not see the President's marshal; If you groan such groans, you might balk the government cannon. For shame, old maniacs! Bring down those toss'd arms, and let your white hair be; 20 Here gape your great grand-sons--their wives gaze at them from the windows, See how well dress'd--see how orderly they conduct themselves. Worse and worse! Can't you stand it? Are you retreating? Is this hour with the living too dead for you? Retreat then! Pell-mell! To your graves! Back! back to the hills, old limpers! I do not think you belong here, anyhow. But there is one thing that belongs here--shall I tell you what it is, gentlemen of Boston? I will whisper it to the Mayor--he shall send a committee to England; They shall get a grant from the Parliament, go with a cart to the royal vault--haste! 30 Dig out King George's coffin, unwrap him quick from the grave- clothes, box up his bones for a journey; Find a swift Yankee clipper--here is freight for you, black-bellied clipper, Up with your anchor! shake out your sails! steer straight toward Boston bay. Now call for the President's marshal again, bring out the government cannon, Fetch home the roarers from Congress, make another procession, guard it with foot and dragoons. This centre-piece for them: Look! all orderly citizens--look from the windows, women! The committee open the box, set up the regal ribs, glue those that will not stay, Clap the skull on top of the ribs, and clap a crown on top of the skull. You have got your revenge, old buster!

O shades of night -- O moody, tearful night! O great star disappear'd -- O the black murk that hides the star! O cruel hands that hold me powerless -- O helpless soul of me! O harsh surrounding cloud that will not free my soul.3In the dooryard fronting an old farm-house near the white-wash'd palings, Stands the lilac-bush tall-growing with heart-shaped leaves of rich green, With many a pointed blossom rising delicate, with the perfume strong I love, With every leaf a miracle -- and from this bush in the dooryard, With delicate-color'd blossoms and heart-shaped leaves of rich green, A sprig with its flower I break.4In the swamp in secluded recesses, A shy and hidden bird is warbling a song. Solitary the thrush, The hermit withdrawn to himself, avoiding the settlements, Sings by himself a song.Song of the bleeding throat, Death's outlet song of life, (for well dear brother I know, If thou wast not granted to sing, thou would'st surely die.)5Over the breast of the spring, the land, amid cities, Amid lanes and through old woods, where lately the violets peep'd from the ground, spotting the gray debris, Amid the grass in the fields each side of the lanes, passing the endless grass, Passing the yellow-spear'd wheat, every grain from its shroud in the dark-brown fields uprisen, Passing the apple-tree blows of white and pink in the orchards, Carrying a corpse to where it shall rest in the grave, Night and day journeys a coffin.6Coffin that passes through lanes and streets, Through day and night with the great cloud darkening the land, With the pomp of the inloop'd flags with the cities draped in black, With the show of the States themselves as of crepe-veil'd women standing, With processions long and winding and the flambeaus of the night, With the countless torches lit, with the silent sea of faces and the unbared heads, With the waiting depot, the arriving coffin, and the sombre faces, With dirges through the night, with the thousand voices rising strong and solemn, With all the mournful voices of the dirges pour'd around the coffin, The dim-lit churches and the shuddering organs -- where amid these you journey, With the tolling bells' perpetual clang, Here, coffin that slowly passes, I give you a sprig of lilac.7(Nor for you, for one alone, Blossoms and branches green to coffins all I bring, For fresh as the morning, thus would I chant a song for you O sane and sacred death.All over bouquets of roses, O death, I cover you with roses and early lilies, But mostly and now the lilac that blooms the first, Copious I break, I break the sprigs from the bushes, With loaded arms I come, pouring for you, For you and the coffins all of you, O death.)8O western orb sailing the heaven, Now I know what you must have meant as a month since I walk'd, As I walk'd in silence the transparent shadowy night, As I saw you had something to tell as you bent to me night after night, As you droop'd from the sky low down as if to my side, (while the other stars all look'd on,) As we wander'd together the solemn night, (for something I know not what kept me from sleep,) As the night advanced, and I saw on the rim of the west how full you were of woe, As I stood on the rising ground in the breeze in the cool transparent night, As I watch'd where you pass'd and was lost in the netherward black of the night, As my soul in its trouble dissatisfied sank, as where you sad orb, Concluded, dropt in the night, and was gone.9Sing on there in the swamp, O singer bashful and tender, I hear your notes, I hear your call, I hear, I come presently, I understand you, But a moment I linger, for the lustrous star has detain'd me, The star my departing comrade holds and detains me.10O how shall I warble myself for the dead one there I loved? And how shall I deck my soul for the large sweet soul that has gone? And what shall my perfume be for the grave of him I love?Sea-winds blown from the east and west, Blown from the Eastern sea and blown from the Western sea, till there on the prairies meeting, These and with these and the breath of my chant, I'll perfume the grave of him I love.11O what shall I hang on the chamber walls? And what shall the pictures be that I hang on the walls, To adorn the burial-house of him I love?Pictures of growing spring and farms and homes, With the Fourth-month eve at sundown, and the gray smoke lucid and bright, With floods of the yellow gold of the gorgeous, indolent, sinking sun, burning, expanding the air, With the fresh sweet herbage under foot, and the pale green leaves of the trees prolific, In the distance of the flowing glaze, the breast of the river, with a wind-dapple here and there, With ranging hills on the banks, with many a line against the sky, and shadows, And the city at hand with dwellings so dense, and stacks of chimneys, And all the scenes of life and the workshops, and the workmen homeward returning.12Lo, body and soul -- this land, My own Manhattan with spires, and the sparkling and hurrying tides, and the ships, The varied and ample land, the South and the North in the light, Ohio's shores and flashing Missouri, And ever the far-spreading prairies cover'd with grass and corn.Lo, the most excellent sun so calm and haughty, The violet and purple morn with just-felt breezes, The gentle soft-born measureless light, The miracle spreading bathing all, the fulfill'd noon, The coming eve delicious, the welcome night and the stars, Over my cities shining all, enveloping man and land.13Sing on, sing on, you gray-brown bird, Sing from the swamps, the recesses, pour your chant from the bushes, Limitless out of the dusk, out of the cedars and pines.Sing on dearest brother, warble your reedy song, Loud human song, with voice of uttermost woe.O liquid and free and tender! O wild and loose to my soul -- O wondrous singer! You only I hear -- yet the star holds me, (but will soon depart,) Yet the lilac with mastering odor holds me.14Now while I sat in the day and look'd forth, In the close of the day with its light and the fields of spring, and the farmers preparing their crops, In the large unconscious scenery of my land with its lakes and forests, In the heavenly aerial beauty, (after the perturb'd winds and storms,) Under the arching heavens of the afternoon swift passing, and the voices of children and women, The many-moving sea-tides, and I saw the ships how they sail'd, And the summer approaching with richness, and the fields all busy with labor, And the infinite separate houses, how they all went on, each with its meals and minutia of daily usages, And the streets how their throbbings throbb'd, and the cities pent -- lo, then and there, Falling upon them all and among them all, enveloping me with the rest, Appear'd the cloud, appear'd the long black trail, And I knew death, its thought, and the sacred knowledge of death.Then with the knowledge of death as walking one side of me, And the thought of death close-walking the other side of me, And I in the middle as with companions, and as holding the hands of companions, I fled forth to the hiding receiving night that talks not, Down to the shores of the water, the path by the swamp in the dimness, To the solemn shadowy cedars and the ghostly pines so still.And the singer so shy to the rest receiv'd me, The gray-brown bird I know received us comrades three, And he sang the carol of death, and a verse for him I love.>From deep secluded recesses, >From the fragrant cedars and the ghostly pines so still, Came the carol of the bird.And the charm of the carol rapt me, As I held as if by their hands my comrades in the night, And the voice of my spirit tallied the song of the bird.Come lovely and soothing death, Undulate round the world, serenely arriving, arriving, In the day, in the night, to all, to each, Sooner or later delicate death.Prais'd be the fathomless universe, For life and joy, and for objects and knowledge curious, And for love, sweet love -- but praise! praise! praise! For the sure-enwinding arms of cool-enfolding death.Dark mother always gliding near with soft feet, Have none chanted for thee a chant of fullest welcome? Then I chant it for thee, I glorify thee above all, I bring thee a song that when thou must indeed come, come unfalteringly.Approach strong deliveress, When it is so, when you have taken them I joyously sing the dead, Lost in the loving floating ocean of thee, Laved in the flood of thy bliss, O death.From me to thee glad serenades, Dances for thee I propose saluting thee, adornments and feastings for thee, And the sights of the open landscape and the high-spread sky are fitting, And life and the fields, and the huge and thoughtful night.The night in silence under many a star, The ocean shore and the husky whispering wave whose voice I know, And the soul turning to thee O vast and well-veil'd death, And the body gratefully nestling close to thee.Over the treetops I float thee a song, Over the rising and sinking waves, over the myriad fields and the prairies wide, Over the dense-packed cities and all the teeming wharves and ways, I float this carol with joy, with joy to thee O death.15To the tally of my soul, Loud and strong kept up the gray-brown bird, With pure deliberate notes spreading filling the night.Loud in the pines and cedars dim, Clear in the freshness moist and the swamp-perfume, And I with my comrades there in the night.While my sight that was bound in my eyes unclosed, As to long panoramas of visions.And I saw askant the armies, I saw as in noiseless dreams hundreds of battle-flags, Borne through the smoke of the battles and pierced with missiles I saw them, And carried hither and yon through the smoke and torn and bloody, And at last but a few shreds left on the staffs, (all in silence,) And the staffs all splinter'd and broken.I saw battle-corpses, myriads of them, And the white skeletons of young men, I saw them, I saw the debris and debris of all the dead soldiers of the war, But I saw they were not as was thought, They themselves were fully at rest, they suffer'd not, The living remain'd and suffer'd, the mother suffer'd, And the wife and the child and the musing comrade suffer'd, And the armies that remain'd suffer'd.16Passing the visions, passing the night, Passing, unloosing the hold of my comrades' hands, Passing the song of the hermit bird and the tallying song of my soul, Victorious song, death's outlet song, yet varying ever-altering song, As low and wailing, yet clear the notes, rising and falling, flooding the night, Sadly sinking and fainting, as warning and warning, and yet again bursting with joy, Covering the earth and filling the spread of the heaven, As that powerful psalm in the night I heard from recesses, Passing, I leave thee lilac with heart-shaped leaves, I leave thee there in the door-yard, blooming, returning with spring.I cease from my song for thee, From my gaze on thee in the west, fronting the west, communing with thee, O comrade lustrous with silver face in the night.Yet each to keep and all, retrievements out of the night, The song, the wondrous chant of the gray-brown bird, And the tallying chant, the echo arous'd in my soul, With the lustrous and drooping star with the countenance full of woe, With the holders holding my hand nearing the call of the bird, Comrades mine and I in the midst, and their memory ever to keep for the dead I loved so well, For the sweetest, wisest soul of all my days and lands -- and this for his dear sake, Lilac and star and bird twined with the chant of my soul, There in the fragrant pines and the cedars dusk and dim."", ""poem.author"": ""Walt Whitman"" }, ""18058"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18058, ""poem.id"": 18058, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:18:12"", ""poem.title"": ""Leaves Of Grass.

Without shame the man I like knows and avows the deliciousness of his sex, 10 Without shame the woman I like knows and avows hers. Now I will dismiss myself from impassive women, I will go stay with her who waits for me, and with those women that are warm-blooded and sufficient for me; I see that they understand me, and do not deny me; I see that they are worthy of me--I will be the robust husband of those women. They are not one jot less than I am, They are tann'd in the face by shining suns and blowing winds, Their flesh has the old divine suppleness and strength, They know how to swim, row, ride, wrestle, shoot, run, strike, retreat, advance, resist, defend themselves, They are ultimate in their own right--they are calm, clear, well- possess'd of themselves. 20 I draw you close to me, you women! I cannot let you go, I would do you good, I am for you, and you are for me, not only for our own sake, but for others' sakes; Envelop'd in you sleep greater heroes and bards, They refuse to awake at the touch of any man but me. It is I, you women--I make my way, I am stern, acrid, large, undissuadable--but I love you, I do not hurt you any more than is necessary for you, I pour the stuff to start sons and daughters fit for These States--I press with slow rude muscle, I brace myself effectually--I listen to no entreaties, 30 I dare not withdraw till I deposit what has so long accumulated within me. Through you I drain the pent-up rivers of myself, In you I wrap a thousand onward years, On you I graft the grafts of the best-beloved of me and America, The drops I distil upon you shall grow fierce and athletic girls, new artists, musicians, and singers, The babes I beget upon you are to beget babes in their turn, I shall demand perfect men and women out of my love-spendings, I shall expect them to interpenetrate with others, as I and you interpenetrate now, I shall count on the fruits of the gushing showers of them, as I count on the fruits of the gushing showers I give now, I shall look for loving crops from the birth, life, death, immortality, I plant so lovingly now. 40"", ""poem.author"": ""Walt Whitman"" }, ""18072"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18072, ""poem.id"": 18072, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:19:10"", ""poem.title"": ""A Child's Amaze"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Walt Whitman"" }, ""18073"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18073, ""poem.id"": 18073, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:19:15"", ""poem.title"": ""A Glimpse"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Walt Whitman"" }, ""18074"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18074, ""poem.id"": 18074, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:19:20"", ""poem.title"": ""A Noiseless Patient Spider"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Walt Whitman"" }, ""18075"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18075, ""poem.id"": 18075, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:19:22"", ""poem.title"": ""A Child Said, What Is The Grass?"", ""poem.date"": ""1/20/2003"", ""poem.content"": ""A child said, What is the grass? fetching it to me with full hands;How could I answer the child?. . . .I do not know what it is any more than he.I guess it must be the flag of my disposition, out of hopeful green stuff woven.Or I guess it is the handkerchief of the Lord,A scented gift and remembrancer designedly dropped,Bearing the owner's name someway in the corners, that we may see and remark, and say Whose?Or I guess the grass is itself a child. . . .the produced babe of the vegetation.Or I guess it is a uniform hieroglyphic,And it means, Sprouting alike in broad zones and narrow zones,Growing among black folks as among white,Kanuck, Tuckahoe, Congressman, Cuff, I give them the same, I receive them the same.And now it seems to me the beautiful uncut hair of graves.Tenderly will I use you curling grass,It may be you transpire from the breasts of young men,It may be if I had known them I would have loved them;It may be you are from old people and from women, and from offspring taken soon out of their mother's laps,And here you are the mother's laps.This grass is very dark to be from the white heads of old mothers,Darker than the colorless beards of old men,Dark to come from under the faint red roofs of mouths.O I perceive after all so many uttering tongues!And I perceive they do not come from the roofs of mouths for nothing.I wish I could translate the hints about the dead young men and women,And the hints about old men and mothers, and the offspring taken soon out of their laps.What do you think has become of the young and old men?What do you think has become of the women and children?They are alive and well somewhere;The smallest sprouts show there is really no death,And if ever there was it led forward life, and does not wait at the end to arrest it,And ceased the moment life appeared.All goes onward and outward. . . .and nothing collapses,And to die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier."", ""poem.author"": ""Walt Whitman"" }, ""18076"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18076, ""poem.id"": 18076, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:19:28"", ""poem.title"": ""A Clear Midnight"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Walt Whitman"" }, ""18077"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18077, ""poem.id"": 18077, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:19:34"", ""poem.title"": ""O Captain!

were dumb, unsophisticated. I had bad blood, a twisted mind, a precarious upbringing. I was hard as granite, I leered at the sun. I trusted no man and especially no woman. I was living a hell in small rooms, I broke things, smashed things, walked through glass, cursed. I challenged everything, was continually being evicted, jailed, in and out of fights, in and out of my mind. women were something to screw and rail at, I had no male friends, I changed jobs and cities, I hated holidays, babies, history, newspapers, museums, grandmothers, marriage, movies, spiders, garbagemen, english accents,spain, france,italy,walnuts and the color orange. algebra angred me, opera sickened me, charlie chaplin was a fake and flowers were for pansies. peace and happiness to me were signs of inferiority, tenants of the weak and addled mind. but as I went on with my alley fights, my suicidal years, my passage through any number of women-it gradually began to occur to me that I wasn't different from the others, I was the same, they were all fulsome with hatred, glossed over with petty grievances, the men I fought in alleys had hearts of stone. everybody was nudging, inching, cheating for some insignificant advantage, the lie was the weapon and the plot was empty, darkness was the dictator. cautiously, I allowed myself to feel good at times. I found moments of peace in cheap rooms just staring at the knobs of some dresser or listening to the rain in the dark. the less I needed the better I felt. maybe the other life had worn me down. I no longer found glamour in topping somebody in conversation. or in mounting the body of some poor drunken female whose life had slipped away into sorrow. I could never accept life as it was, i could never gobble down all its poisons but there were parts, tenuous magic parts open for the asking. I re formulated I don't know when, date, time, all that but the change occurred. something in me relaxed, smoothed out. i no longer had to prove that I was a man, I didn't have to prove anything. I began to see things: coffee cups lined up behind a counter in a cafe. or a dog walking along a sidewalk. or the way the mouse on my dresser top stopped there with its body, its ears, its nose, it was fixed, a bit of life caught within itself and its eyes looked at me and they were beautiful. then- it was gone. I began to feel good, I began to feel good in the worst situations and there were plenty of those. like say, the boss behind his desk, he is going to have to fire me. I've missed too many days. he is dressed in a suit, necktie, glasses, he says, 'I am going to have to let you go' 'it's all right' I tell him. He must do what he must do, he has a wife, a house, children, expenses, most probably a girlfriend. I am sorry for him he is caught. I walk onto the blazing sunshine. the whole day is mine temporarily, anyhow. (the whole world is at the throat of the world, everybody feels angry, short-changed, cheated, everybody is despondent, disillusioned) I welcomed shots of peace, tattered shards of happiness. I embraced that stuff like the hottest number, like high heels, breasts, singing,the works. (don't get me wrong, there is such a thing as cockeyed optimism that overlooks all basic problems just for the sake of itself- this is a shield and a sickness.) The knife got near my throat again, I almost turned on the gas again but when the good moments arrived again I didn't fight them off like an alley adversary. I let them take me, I luxuriated in them, I made them welcome home. I even looked into the mirror once having thought myself to be ugly, I now liked what I saw, almost handsome, yes, a bit ripped and ragged, scares, lumps, odd turns, but all in all, not too bad, almost handsome, better at least than some of those movie star faces like the cheeks of a baby's butt. and finally I discovered real feelings of others, unheralded, like lately, like this morning, as I was leaving, for the track, i saw my wife in bed, just the shape of her head there (not forgetting centuries of the living and the dead and the dying, the pyramids, Mozart dead but his music still there in the room, weeds growing, the earth turning, the tote board waiting for me) I saw the shape of my wife's head, she so still, I ached for her life, just being there under the covers. I kissed her in the forehead, got down the stairway, got outside, got into my marvelous car, fixed the seatbelt, backed out the drive. feeling warm to the fingertips, down to my foot on the gas pedal, I entered the world once more, drove down the hill past the houses full and empty of people, I saw the mailman, honked, he waved back at me."", ""poem.author"": ""Charles Bukowski"" }, ""18213"": {

All held still.Though I counted scant seconds,Enough ages lapsed to winConfidence of safe-conductIn the wary other worldEyeing me. Grass put forth claws,Small mud knobs, nudged from under,Displaced their domes as tinyKnights might doff their casques. The crabsInched from their pygmy burrowsAnd from the trench-dug mud, all Camouflaged in mottled mailOf browns and greens. Each wore oneClaw swollen to a shield largeAs itself—no fiddler's armGrown Gargantuan by trade,But grown grimly, and grimlyBorne, for a use beyond myGuessing of it. SibilantMass-motived hordes, they sidledOut in a converging streamToward the pool-mouth, perhaps toMeet the thin and sluggish threadOf sea retracing its tide-Way up the river-basin.Or to avoid me. They movedObliquely with a dry-wetSound, with a glittery wispAnd trickle.

Maybe they areHanging shyly under the studded horizonLike a child's too-simple mathematical problem.Infinite number seems to be the issue up there.Or else they are present, and their disguise so brightI am overlooking them by looking too hard.Perhaps it is the season that is not right.And what if the sky here is no different,And it is my eyes that have been sharpening themselves?Such a luxury of stars would embarrass me.The few I am used to are plain and durable;I think they would not wish for this dressy backclothOr much company, or the mildness of the south.They are too puritan and solitary for that—When one of them falls it leaves a space,A sense of absence in its old shining place.And where I lie now, back to my own dark star,I see those constellations in my head,Unwarmed by the sweet air of this peach orchard.There is too much ease here; these stars treat me too well.On this hill, with its view of lit castles, each swung bellIs accounting for its cow.

But the couchStood stubborn in it's jungle: red against green,Red against fifty variants of green,The couch glared out at the prosaic eye.So Rousseau, to explain why the red couchPersisted in the picture with the lilies,Tigers, snakes, and the snakecharmer and you,And birds of paradise, and the round moon,Described how you fell dreaming at full of moonOn a red velvet couch within your green-Tessellared boudoir. Hearing flutes, youDreamed yourself away in the moon's eyeTo a beryl jungle, and dreamed that bright moon-liliesNodded their petaled heads around your couch.And that, Rousseau told the critics, was why the couchAccompanied you. So they nodded at the couch with the moonAnd the snakecharmer's song and the gigantic lilies,Marvelingly numbered the many shades of green.But to a friend, in private, Rousseau confessed his eyeSo possessed by the glowing red of the couch which you,Yadwigha, pose on, that he put you on the couchTo feed his eye with red, such red!

I'm a stone, a stick,One child drops a barrette of pink plastic;None of them seem to notice.Their shrill, gravelly gossip's funneled off.Now silence after silence offers itself.The wind stops my breath like a bandage.Southward, over Kentish Town, an ashen smudgeSwaddles roof and tree.It could be a snowfield or a cloudbank.I suppose it's pointless to think of you at all.Already your doll grip lets go.The tumulus, even at noon, guards its black shadow:You know me less constant,Ghost of a leaf, ghost of a bird.I circle the writhen trees. I am too happy.These faithful dark-boughed cypressesBrood, rooted in their heaped losses.Your cry fades like the cry of a gnat.I lose sight of you on your blind journey,While the heath grass glitters and the spindling rivuletsUnspool and spend themselves. My mind runs with them,Pooling in heel-prints, fumbling pebble and stem.The day empties its imagesLike a cup or a room. The moon's crook whitens,Thin as the skin seaming a scar.Now, on the nursery wall,The blue night plants, the little pale blue hillIn your sister's birthday picture start to glow.The orange pompons, the Egyptian papyrusLight up. Each rabbit-earedBlue shrub behind the glassExhales an indigo nimbus,A sort of cellophane balloon.The old dregs, the old difficulties take me to wife.Gulls stiffen to their chill vigil in the drafty half-light;I enter the lit house."", ""poem.author"": ""Sylvia Plath"" }, ""18305"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18305, ""poem.id"": 18305, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:31:44"", ""poem.title"": ""Stopped Dead"", ""poem.date"": ""9/19/2014"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Sylvia Plath"" }, ""18306"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18306, ""poem.id"": 18306, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:31:48"", ""poem.title"": ""Watercolor Of Grantchester Meadows"", ""poem.date"": ""9/19/2014"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Sylvia Plath"" }, ""18307"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18307, ""poem.id"": 18307, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:31:54"", ""poem.title"": ""Eavesdropper"", ""poem.date"": ""9/19/2014"", ""poem.content"": ""Your brother will trim my hedges!They darken your house,Nosy grower,Mole on my shoulder,To be scratched absently,To bleed, if it comes to that.The stain of the tropicsStill urinous on you, a sin.A kind of bush-stink.You may be local,But that yellow!Godawful!Your body oneLong nicotine-fingerOn which I,White cigarette,Burn, for your inhalation,Driving the dull cells wild.Let me roost in you!My distractions, my pallors.Let them start the queer alchemyThat melts the skinGray tallow, from bone and bone.So I saw your much sickerPredecessor wrapped up,A six and a half foot wedding-cake.And he was not even malicious.Do not think I don't notice your curtain—Midnight, four o'clock,Lit (you are reading),Tarting with the drafts that pass,Little **** tongue,Chenille beckoner,Beckoning my words in—The zoo yowl, the mad softMirror talk you love to catch me at.How you jumped when I jumped on you!Arms folded, ear cocked,Toad-yellow under the dropThat would not, would not dropIn a desert of cow peopleTrundling their udders homeTo the electric milker, the wifey, the big blue eyeThat watches, like God, or the skyThe ciphers that watch it.I called.You crawled out,A weather figure, boggling,Belge troll, the lowChurch smileSpreading itself, like butter.This is what I am in for—Flea body!Eyes like miceFlicking over my property,Levering letter flaps,Scrutinizing the flyOf the man's pantsDead on the chair back,Opening the fat smiles, the eyesOf two babiesJust to make sure—Toad-stone!

'Well then, if we agree, it is not oddthat one man's devil is another's god or that the solar spectrum isa multitude of shaded grays; suspenseon the quicksands of ambivalence is our life's whole nemesis. So we could rave on, darling, you and I,until the stars tick out a lullaby about each cosmic pro and con;nothing changes, for all the blazing ofour drastic jargon, but clock hands that move implacably from twelve to one. We raise our arguments like sitting ducksto knock them down with logic or with luck and contradict ourselves for fun;the waitress holds our coats and we put onthe raw wind like a scarf; love is a faun who insists his playmates run. Now you, my intellectual leprechaun,would have me swallow the entire sun like an enormous oyster, downthe ocean in one gulp: you say a markof comet hara-kiri through the dark should inflame the sleeping town. So kiss: the drunks upon the curb and damesin dubious doorways forget their monday names, caper with candles in their heads;the leaves applaud, and santa claus flies inscattering candy from a zeppelin, playing his prodigal charades. The moon leans down to took; the tilting fishin the rare river wink and laugh; we lavish blessings right and left and cryhello, and then hello again in deafchurchyard ears until the starlit stiff graves all carol in reply. Now kiss again: till our strict father leansto call for curtain on our thousand scenes; brazen actors mock at him,multiply pink harlequins and singin gay ventriloquy from wing to wing while footlights flare and houselights dim. Tell now, we taunt where black or white beginsand separate the flutes from violins: the algebra of absolutesexplodes in a kaleidoscope of shapesthat jar, while each polemic jackanapes joins his enemies' recruits. The paradox is that 'the play's the thing':though prima donna pouts and critic stings, there burns throughout the line of words,the cultivated act, a fierce brief fusionwhich dreamers call real, and realists, illusion: an insight like the flight of birds: Arrows that lacerate the sky, while knowingthe secret of their ecstasy's in going; some day, moving, one will drop,and, dropping, die, to trace a wound that healsonly to reopen as flesh congeals: cycling phoenix never stops. So we shall walk barefoot on walnut shellsof withered worlds, and stamp out puny hells and heavens till the spirits squeaksurrender: to build our bed as high as jack'sbold beanstalk; lie and love till sharp scythe hacks away our rationed days and weeks. Then jet the blue tent topple, stars rain down,and god or void appall us till we drown in our own tears: today we startto pay the piper with each breath, yet loveknows not of death nor calculus above

Hooray! Hurrah!''Poor darling Goldilocks!' they say,'Thank goodness that she got away!'Myself, I think I'd rather sendYoung Goldie to a sticky end.'Oh daddy!' cried the Baby Bear,'My porridge gone!

She shuts the door.And Goldie, after making sureThat she is really by herself,Goes quickly to the medicine shelf,And there, her little greedy eyesSee pills of every shape and size,Such fascinating colours too ––Some green, some pink, some brown, some blue.'All right,' she says, 'let's try the brown,'She takes one pill and gulps it down.'Yum–yum!' she cries.

There are no more.Slowly she rises from the floor.She stops. She hiccups. Dear, oh dear,She starts to feel a trifle queer.You see, how could young Goldie know,For nobody had told her so,That Grandmama, her old relationSuffered from frightful constipation.This meant that every night she'd giveHerself a powerful laxative,And all the medicines that she'd boughtWere naturally of this sort.The pink and red and blue and greenWere all extremely strong and mean.But far more fierce and meaner still,Was Granny's little chocolate pill.Its blast effect was quite uncanny.It used to shake up even Granny.In point of fact she did not dareTo use them more than twice a year.So can you wonder little GoldieBegan to feel a wee bit moldy?Inside her tummy, something stirred.A funny gurgling sound was heard,And then, oh dear, from deep within,The ghastly rumbling sounds begin!They rumbilate and roar and boom!They bounce and echo round the room!The floorboards shake and from the wallSome bits of paint and plaster fall.Explosions, whistles, awful bangsWere followed by the loudest clangs.(A man next door was heard to say,'A thunderstorm is on the way.')But on and on the rumbling goes.A window cracks, a lamp–bulb blows.Young Goldie clutched herself and cried,'There's something wrong with my inside!'This was, we very greatly fear,The understatement of the year.For wouldn't any child feel crummy,With loud explosions in her tummy?Granny, at half past two, came in,Weaving a little from the gin,But even so she quickly sawThe empty bottle on the floor.'My precious laxatives!' she cried.'I don't feel well,' the girl replied.Angrily Grandma shook her head.'I'm really not surprised,' she said.'Why can't you leave my pills alone?'With that, she grabbed the telephoneAnd shouted, 'Listen, send us quickAn ambulance! A child is sick!It's number fifty, Fontwell Road!Come fast! I think she might explode!'We're sure you do not wish to hearAbout the hospital and whereThey did a lot of horrid thingsWith stomach–pumps and rubber rings.Let's answer what you want to know;Did Goldie live or did she go?The doctors gathered round her bed,'There's really not much hope,' they said.'She's going, going, gone!' they cried.'She's had her chips! She's dead! She's died!''I'm not so sure,' the child replied.And all at once she opened wideHer great big bluish eyes and sighed,And gave the anxious docs a wink,And said, 'I'll be okay, I think.'So Goldie lived and back she wentAt first to Granny's place in Kent.Her father came the second dayAnd fetched her in a Chevrolet,And drove her to their home in Dover.But Goldie's troubles were not over.You see, if someone takes enoughOf any highly dangerous stuff,One will invariably findSome traces of it left behind.It pains us greatly to relateThat Goldie suffered from this fate.She'd taken such a massive fillOf this unpleasant kind of pill,It got into her blood and bones,It messed up all her chromosomes,It made her constantly upset,And she could never really getThe beastly stuff to go away.And so the girl was forced to stayFor seven hours every dayWithin the everlasting gloomOf what we call The Ladies Room.And after all, the W.C.Is not the gayest place to be.So now, before it is too late.Take heed of Goldie's dreadful fate.And seriously, all jokes apart,Do promise us across your heartThat you will never help yourselfTo medicine from the medicine shelf.'"", ""poem.author"": ""Roald Dahl"" }, ""620"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 620, ""poem.id"": 620, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-01 04:29:52"", ""poem.title"": ""The Three Little Pigs"", ""poem.date"": ""3/30/2010"", ""poem.content"": ""The animal I really dig,Above all others is the pig.Pigs are noble.

His giant brain went round and round.Alas, no answer could be found.Till suddenly one wondrous night.All in a flash he saw the light.He jumped up like a ballet dancerAnd yelled, 'By gum, I've got the answer! ''They want my bacon slice by slice'To sell at a tremendous price! 'They want my tender juicy chops'To put in all the butcher's shops! 'They want my pork to make a roast'And that's the part'll cost the most! 'They want my sausages in strings! 'They even want my chitterlings! 'The butcher's shop! The carving knife! 'That is the reason for my life! 'Such thoughts as these are not designedTo give a pig great peace of mind.Next morning, in comes Farmer Bland,A pail of pigswill in his hand,And piggy with a mighty roar,Bashes the farmer to the floor…Now comes the rather grisly bitSo let's not make too much of it,Except that you must understandThat Piggy did eat Farmer Bland,He ate him up from head to toe,Chewing the pieces nice and slow.It took an hour to reach the feet,Because there was so much to eat,And when he finished, Pig, of course,Felt absolutely no remorse.Slowly he scratched his brainy headAnd with a little smile he said,'I had a fairly powerful hunch'That he might have me for his lunch.'And so, because I feared the worst,'I thought I'd better eat him first.'"", ""poem.author"": ""Roald Dahl"" }, ""627"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 627, ""poem.id"": 627, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-01 04:30:26"", ""poem.title"": ""Television"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": ""The most important thing we've learned,So far as children are concerned,Is never, NEVER, NEVER letThem near your television set --Or better still, just don't installThe idiotic thing at all.In almost every house we've been,We've watched them gaping at the screen.They loll and slop and lounge about,And stare until their eyes pop out.(Last week in someone's place we sawA dozen eyeballs on the floor.)They sit and stare and stare and sitUntil they're hypnotised by it,Until they're absolutely drunkWith all that shocking ghastly junk.Oh yes, we know it keeps them still,They don't climb out the window sill,They never fight or kick or punch,They leave you free to cook the lunchAnd wash the dishes in the sink --But did you ever stop to think,To wonder just exactly whatThis does to your beloved tot?IT ROTS THE SENSE IN THE HEAD!IT KILLS IMAGINATION DEAD!IT CLOGS AND CLUTTERS UP THE MIND!IT MAKES A CHILD SO DULL AND BLINDHE CAN NO LONGER UNDERSTANDA FANTASY, A FAIRYLAND!HIS BRAIN BECOMES AS SOFT AS CHEESE!HIS POWERS OF THINKING RUST AND FREEZE!HE CANNOT THINK -- HE ONLY SEES!'All right!' you'll cry.

there encumbered sleepers groaned,Too fast in thought or death to be bestirred.Then, as I probed them, one sprang up, and staredWith piteous recognition in fixed eyes,Lifting distressful hands as if to bless.And by his smile, I knew that sullen hall;By his dead smile I knew we stood in Hell.With a thousand fears that vision's face was grained;Yet no blood reached there from the upper ground,And no guns thumped, or down the flues made moan.'Strange, friend,' I said, 'Here is no cause to mourn.''None,' said the other, 'Save the undone years,The hopelessness. Whatever hope is yours,Was my life also; I went hunting wildAfter the wildest beauty in the world,Which lies not calm in eyes, or braided hair,But mocks the steady running of the hour,And if it grieves, grieves richlier than here.For by my glee might many men have laughed,And of my weeping something has been left,Which must die now. I mean the truth untold,The pity of war, the pity war distilled.Now men will go content with what we spoiled.Or, discontent, boil bloody, and be spilled.They will be swift with swiftness of the tigress,None will break ranks, though nations trek from progress.Courage was mine, and I had mystery;Wisdom was mine, and I had mastery;To miss the march of this retreating worldInto vain citadels that are not walled.Then, when much blood had clogged their chariot-wheelsI would go up and wash them from sweet wells,Even with truths that lie too deep for taint.I would have poured my spirit without stintBut not through wounds; not on the cess of war.Foreheads of men have bled where no wounds were.I am the enemy you killed, my friend.I knew you in this dark; for so you frownedYesterday through me as you jabbed and killed.I parried; but my hands were loath and cold.Let us sleep now ..."", ""poem.author"": ""Wilfred Owen"" }, ""18680"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18680, ""poem.id"": 18680, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:42:02"", ""poem.title"": ""Apologia Pro Poemate Meo"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Wilfred Owen"" }, ""18681"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18681, ""poem.id"": 18681, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:42:04"", ""poem.title"": ""Elegy In April And September"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Wilfred Owen"" }, ""18682"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18682, ""poem.id"": 18682, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:42:07"", ""poem.title"": ""Beauty"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Wilfred Owen"" }, ""18683"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18683, ""poem.id"": 18683, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:42:14"", ""poem.title"": ""The Last Laugh"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Wilfred Owen"" }, ""18684"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18684, ""poem.id"": 18684, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:42:17"", ""poem.title"": ""The Next War"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Wilfred Owen"" }, ""18685"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18685, ""poem.id"": 18685, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:42:23"", ""poem.title"": ""A New Heaven"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Wilfred Owen"" }, ""18686"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18686, ""poem.id"": 18686, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:42:29"", ""poem.title"": ""I Know The Music"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Wilfred Owen"" }, ""18687"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18687, ""poem.id"": 18687, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:42:31"", ""poem.title"": ""Arms And The Boy"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Wilfred Owen"" }, ""18688"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18688, ""poem.id"": 18688, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:42:35"", ""poem.title"": ""Mental Cases"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Wilfred Owen"" }, ""18689"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18689, ""poem.id"": 18689, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:42:38"", ""poem.title"": ""Futility"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Wilfred Owen"" }, ""18690"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18690, ""poem.id"": 18690, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:42:41"", ""poem.title"": ""Exposure"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": ""I1 Our brains ache, in the merciless iced east winds that knife us ... 2 Wearied we keep awake because the night is silent ...3 Low drooping flares confuse our memory of the salient ...4 Worried by silence, sentries whisper, curious, nervous,5 But nothing happens.6 Watching, we hear the mad gusts tugging on the wire.7 Like twitching agonies of men among its brambles.8 Northward incessantly, the flickering gunnery rumbles,9 Far off, like a dull rumour of some other war.10 What are we doing here?11 The poignant misery of dawn begins to grow ...12 We only know war lasts, rain soaks, and clouds sag stormy.13 Dawn massing in the east her melancholy army14 Attacks once more in ranks on shivering ranks of gray,15 But nothing happens. 16 Sudden successive flights of bullets streak the silence.17 Less deadly than the air that shudders black with snow,18 With sidelong flowing flakes that flock, pause and renew,19 We watch them wandering up and down the wind's nonchalance,20 But nothing happens.

Through the park Voices of boys rang saddening like a hymn, Voices of play and pleasure after day, Till gathering sleep had mothered them from him. About this time Town used to swing so gay When glow-lamps budded in the light blue trees, And girls glanced lovelier as the air grew dim,- In the old times, before he threw away his knees. Now he will never feel again how slim Girls' waists are, or how warm their subtle hands. All of them touch him like some queer disease. There was an artist silly for his face, For it was younger than his youth, last year. Now, he is old; his back will never brace; He's lost his colour very far from here, Poured it down shell-holes till the veins ran dry, And half his lifetime lapsed in the hot race And leap of purple spurted from his thigh. One time he liked a blood-smear down his leg, After the matches, carried shoulder-high. It was after football, when he'd drunk a peg, He thought he'd better join. - He wonders why. Someone had said he'd look a god in kilts, That's why; and maybe, too, to please his Meg, Aye, that was it, to please the giddy jilts He asked to join. He didn't have to beg; Smiling they wrote his lie: aged nineteen years. Germans he scarcely thought of; all their guilt, And Austria's, did not move him. And no fears Of Fear came yet. He thought of jewelled hilts For daggers in plaid socks; of smart salutes; And care of arms; and leave; and pay arrears; Esprit de corps; and hints for young recruits. And soon, he was drafted out with drums and cheers. Some cheered him home, but not as crowds cheer Goal. Only a solemn man who brought him fruits Thanked him; and then enquired about his soul. Now, he will spend a few sick years in institutes, And do what things the rules consider wise, And take whatever pity they may dole. Tonight he noticed how the women's eyes Passed from him to the strong men that were whole. How cold and late it is! Why don't they come And put him into bed?

I feel I am no actor here!\"'Tis real hangmen real scourges bear!Prepare Maria, for a horrid taleWill turn thy very rouge to deadly pale;Will make thy hair, tho' erst from gipsy poll'd,By barber

Chieftain, 'mid the din of armsIn Highland Bonnet, woo Malvina's charms;While sans-culottes stoop up the mountain high,And steal from me Maria's prying eye.Blest Highland bonnet! once my proudest dress,Now prouder still, Maria's temples press;I see her wave thy towering plumes afar,And call each coxcomb to the wordy war:I see her face the first of Ireland's sons,And even out-Irish his Hibernian bronze;The crafty Colonel leaves the tartan'd lines,For other wars, where he a hero shines:The hopeful youth, in Scottish senate bred,Who owns a Bushby's heart without the head,Comes 'mid a string of coxcombs, to displayThat veni, vidi, vici, is his way:The shrinking Bard adown the alley skulks,And dreads a meeting worse than Woolwich hulks:Though there, his heresies in Church and StateMight well award him Muir and Palmer's fate:Still she undaunted reels and rattles on,And dares the public like a noontide sun.What scandal called Maria's jaunty staggerThe ricket reeling of a crooked swagger?Whose spleen (e'en worse than Burns' venom, whenHe dips in gall unmix'd his eager pen,And pours his vengeance in the burning line,)—Who christen'd thus Maria's lyre-divineThe idiot strum of Vanity bemus'd,And even the abuse of Poesy abus'd?—Who called her verse a Parish Workhouse, madeFor motley foundling Fancies, stolen or strayed?A Workhouse! ah, that sound awakes my woes,And pillows on the thorn my rack'd repose!In durance vile here must I wake and weep,And all my frowsy couch in sorrow steep;That straw where many a rogue has lain of yore,And vermin'd gipsies litter'd heretofore.Why, Lonsdale, thus thy wrath on vagrants pour?Must earth no rascal save thyself endure?Must thou alone in guilt immortal swell,And make a vast monopoly of hell?Thou know'st the Virtues cannot hate thee worse;The Vices also, must they club their curse?Or must no tiny sin to others fall,Because thy guilt's supreme enough for all?Maria, send me too thy griefs and cares;In all of thee sure thy Esopus shares.As thou at all mankind the flag unfurls,Who on my fair one Satire's vengeance hurls—Who calls thee, pert, affected, vain coquette,A wit in folly, and a fool in wit!Who says that fool alone is not thy due,And quotes thy treacheries to prove it true!Our force united on thy foes we'll turn,And dare the war with all of woman born:For who can write and speak as thou and I?My

ensure;The cit and polecat stink, and are secure;Toads with their poison, doctors with their drug,The priest and hedgehog in their robes, are snug;Ev'n silly woman has her warlike arts,Her tongue and eyes—her dreaded spear and darts.But Oh! thou bitter step-mother and hard,To thy poor, fenceless, naked child—the Bard!A thing unteachable in world's skill,And half an idiot too, more helpless

by causeless wanton malice wrung,By blockheads' daring into madness stung;His well-won bays, than life itself more dear,By miscreants torn, who ne'er one sprig must wear;Foil'd, bleeding, tortur'd in th' unequal strife,The hapless Poet flounders on thro' life:Till, fled each hope that once his bosom fir'd,And fled each muse that glorious once inspir'd,Low sunk in squalid, unprotected age,Dead even resentment for his injur'd page,He heeds or feels no more the ruthless critic's rage!So, by some hedge, the gen'rous steed deceas'd,For half-starv'd snarling curs a dainty feast;By toil and famine wore to skin and bone,Lies, senseless of each tugging bitch's son.O Dulness! portion of the truly blest!Calm shelter'd haven of eternal rest!Thy sons ne'er madden in the fierce extremesOf Fortune's polar frost, or torrid beams.If mantling high she fills the golden cup,With sober selfish ease they sip it up;Conscious the bounteous meed they well deserve,They only wonder \"some folks\" do not starve.The grave sage hern thus easy picks his frog,And thinks the mallard a sad worthless dog.When disappointments snaps the clue of hope,And thro' disastrous night they darkling grope,With deaf endurance sluggishly they bear,And just conclude that \"fools are fortune's care.\"So, heavy, passive to the tempest's shocks,Strong on the sign-post stands the stupid ox.Not so the idle Muses' mad-cap train,Not such the workings of their moon-struck brain;In equanimity they never dwell,By turns in soaring heav'n, or vaulted hell.I dread thee, Fate, relentless and severe,With all a poet's, husband's, father's fear!Already one strong hold of hope is lost—Glencairn, the truly noble, lies in dust(Fled, like the sun eclips'd as noon appears,And left us darkling in a world of tears):O! hear my ardent, grateful, selfish pray'r!Fintry, my other stay, long bless and spare!Thro' a long life his hopes and wishes crown,And bright in cloudless skies his sun go down!May bliss domestic smooth his

ventur'd the soul, and I risked the body,'Twas then I proved false to my sodger laddie.Full soon I grew sick of my sanctified sot,The regiment at large for a husband I got;From the gilded spontoon to the fife I was ready,I askèd no more but a sodger laddie.But the peace it reduc'd me to beg in despair,Till I met old boy in a Cunningham fair,His rags regimental, they flutter'd so gaudy,My heart it rejoic'd at a sodger laddie.And now I have liv'd—I know not how long,And still I can join in a cup and a song;But whilst with both hands I can hold the glass steady,Here's to thee, my hero, my sodger laddie.RecitativoPoor Merry-Andrew, in the neuk,Sat guzzling wi' a tinkler-hizzie;They mind't na wha the chorus teuk,Between themselves they were sae busy:At length, wi' drink an' courting dizzy,He stoiter'd up an' made a face;Then turn'd an' laid a smack on Grizzie,Syne tun'd his pipes wi' grave grimace.AirTune—\"Auld Sir Symon.\"Sir Wisdom's a fool when he's fou;Sir Knave is a fool in a session;He's there but a 'prentice I trow,But I am a fool by profession.My grannie she bought me a beuk,An' I held awa to the school;I fear I my talent misteuk,But what will ye hae of a fool?For drink I would venture my neck;A hizzie's the half of my craft;But what could ye other expectOf ane that's avowedly daft?I ance was tied up like a stirk,For civilly swearing and quaffin;I ance was abus'd i' the kirk,For towsing a lass i' my daffin.Poor Andrew that tumbles for sport,Let naebody name wi' a jeer;There's even, I'm tauld, i' the CourtA tumbler ca'd the Premier.Observ'd ye yon reverend ladMak faces to tickle the mob;He rails at our mountebank squad,—It's rivalship just i' the job.And now my conclusion I'll tell,For faith I'm confoundedly dry;The chiel that's a fool for himsel',Guid L—d! he's far dafter than I.RecitativoThen niest outspak a raucle carlin,Wha kent fu' weel to cleek the sterlin;For mony a pursie she had hooked,An' had in mony a well been douked;Her love had been a Highland laddie,But weary fa' the waefu' woodie!Wi' sighs an' sobs she thus beganTo wail her braw John Highlandman.AirTune—\"O, an ye were dead, Guidman.\"A Highland lad my love was born,The Lalland laws he held in scorn;But he still was faithfu' to his clan,My gallant, braw John Highlandman.Chorus Sing hey my braw John Highlandman!Sing ho my braw John Highlandman!There's not a lad in a' the lan'Was match for my John Highlandman.With his philibeg an' tartan plaid,An' guid claymore down by his side,The ladies' hearts he did trepan,My gallant, braw John Highlandman.Sing hey, &c.We rangèd a' from Tweed to Spey,An' liv'd like lords an' ladies gay;For a Lalland face he fearèd none,—My gallant, braw John Highlandman.Sing hey, &c.They banish'd him beyond the sea.But ere the bud was on the tree,Adown my cheeks the pearls ran,Embracing my John Highlandman.Sing hey, &c.But, och! they catch'd him at the last,And bound him in a dungeon fast:My curse upon them every one,They've hang'd my braw John Highlandman!Sing hey, &c.And now a widow, I must mournThe pleasures that will ne'er return:The comfort but a hearty can,When I think on John Highlandman.Sing hey, &c.RecitativoA pigmy scraper wi' his fiddle,Wha us'd at trystes an' fairs to driddle.Her strappin limb and gausy middle(He reach'd nae higher)Had hol'd his heartie like a riddle,An' blawn't on fire.Wi' hand on hainch, and upward e'e,He croon'd his gamut, one, two, three,Then in an arioso key,The wee ApollSet off wi' allegretto gleeHis giga solo.AirTune—\"Whistle owre the lave o't.\"Let me ryke up to dight that tear,An' go wi' me an' be my dear;An' then your every care an' fearMay whistle owre the lave o't.Chorus I am a fiddler to my trade,An' a' the tunes that e'er I played,The sweetest still to wife or maid,Was whistle owre the lave o't.At kirns an' weddins we'se be there,An' O sae nicely's we will fare!We'll bowse about till Daddie CareSing whistle owre the lave o't.I am, &c.Sae merrily's the banes we'll pyke,An' sun oursel's about the dyke;An' at our leisure, when ye like,We'll whistle owre the lave o't.I am, &c.But bless me wi' your heav'n o' charms,An' while I kittle hair on thairms,Hunger, cauld, an' a' sic harms,May whistle owre the lave o't.I am, &c.RecitativoHer charms had struck a sturdy caird,As weel as poor gut-scraper;He taks the fiddler by the beard,An' draws a roosty rapier—He swoor, by a' was swearing worth,To speet him like a pliver,Unless he would from that time forthRelinquish her for ever.Wi' ghastly e'e poor tweedle-deeUpon his hunkers bended,An' pray'd for grace wi' ruefu' face,An' so the quarrel ended.But tho' his little heart did grieveWhen round the tinkler prest her,He feign'd to snirtle in his sleeve,When thus the caird address'd her:AirTune—\"Clout the Cauldron.\"My bonie lass, I work in brass,A tinkler is my station:I've travell'd round all Christian groundIn this my occupation;I've taen the gold, an' been enrolledIn many a noble squadron;But vain they search'd when off I march'dTo go an' clout the cauldron.I've taen the gold, &c.Despise that shrimp, that wither'd imp,With a' his noise an' cap'rin;An' take a share with those that bearThe budget and the apron!And by that stowp! my faith an' houp,And by that dear Kilbaigie, 2If e'er ye want, or meet wi' scant,May I ne'er weet my craigie.And by that stowp, &c.RecitativoThe caird prevail'd—th' unblushing fairIn his embraces sunk;Partly wi' love o'ercome sae sair,An' partly she was drunk:Sir Violino, with an airThat show'd a man o' spunk,Wish'd unison between the pair,An' made the bottle clunkTo their health that night.But hurchin Cupid shot a shaft,That play'd a dame a shavie—The fiddler rak'd her, fore and aft,Behint the chicken cavie.Her lord, a wight of Homer's craft, 3Tho' limpin wi' the spavie,He hirpl'd up, an' lap like daft,An' shor'd them Dainty DavieO' boot that night.He was a care-defying bladeAs ever Bacchus listed!Tho' Fortune sair upon him laid,His heart, she ever miss'd it.He had no wish but—to be glad,Nor want but—when he thirsted;He hated nought but—to be sad,An' thus the muse suggestedHis sang that night.AirTune—\"For a' that, an' a' that.\"I am a Bard of no regard,Wi' gentle folks an' a' that;But Homer-like, the glowrin byke,Frae town to town I draw that.Chorus For a' that, an' a' that,An' twice as muckle's a' that;I've lost but ane, I've twa behin',I've wife eneugh for a' that.I never drank the Muses' stank,Castalia's burn, an' a' that;But there it streams an' richly reams,My Helicon I ca' that.For a' that, &c.Great love Idbear to a' the fair,Their humble slave an' a' that;But lordly will, I hold it stillA mortal sin to thraw that.For a' that, &c.In raptures sweet, this hour we meet,Wi' mutual love an' a' that;But for how lang the flie may stang,Let inclination law that.For a' that, &c.Their tricks an' craft hae put me daft,They've taen me in, an' a' that;But clear your decks, and here's—\"The Sex!\"I like the jads for a' that.Chorus For a' that, an' a' that,An' twice as muckle's a' that;My dearest bluid, to do them guid,They're welcome till't for a' that.RecitativoSo sang the bard—and Nansie's wa'sShook with a thunder of applause,Re-echo'd from each mouth!They toom'd their pocks, they pawn'd their duds,They scarcely left to co'er their fuds,To quench their lowin drouth:Then owre again, the jovial thrangThe poet did requestTo lowse his pack an' wale a sang,A ballad o' the best;He rising, rejoicing,Between his twa Deborahs,Looks round him, an' found themImpatient for the chorus.AirTune—\"Jolly Mortals, fill your Glasses.\"See the smoking bowl before us,Mark our jovial ragged ring!Round and round take up the chorus,And in raptures let us sing—Chorus A fig for those by law protected!Liberty's a glorious feast!Courts for cowards were erected,Churches built to please the priest.What is title, what is treasure,What is reputation's care?If we lead a life of pleasure,'Tis no matter how or where!A fig for, &c.With the ready trick and fable,Round we wander all the day;And at night in barn or stable,Hug our doxies on the hay.A fig for, &c.Does the train-attended carriageThro' the country lighter rove?Does the sober bed of marriageWitness brighter scenes of love?A fig for, &c.Life is al a variorum,We regard not how it goes;Let them cant about decorum,Who have character to lose.A fig for, &c.Here's to budgets, bags and wallets!Here's to all the wandering train.Here's our ragged brats and callets,One and all cry out, Amen!Chorus A fig for those by law protected!Liberty's a glorious feast!Courts for cowards were erected,Churches built to please the priest."", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Burns"" }, ""18858"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18858, ""poem.id"": 18858, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 05:56:50"",

I complain.The peopled fold thy kindly care have found,The hornèd bull, tremendous, spurns the ground;The lordly lion has enough and more,The forest trembles at his very roar;Thou giv'st the ass his hide, the snail his shell,The puny wasp, victorious, guards his cell.Thy minions, kings defend, controul devour,In all th' omnipotence of rule and power:Foxes and statesmen subtle wiles ensure;The cit and polecat stink, and are secure:Toads with their poison, doctors with their drug,The priest and hedgehog, in their robes, are snug:E'en silly women have defensive arts,Their eyes, their tongues—and nameless other parts.But O thou cruel stepmother and hard,To thy poor fenceless, naked child, the Bard!A thing unteachable in worldly skill,And half an idiot too, more helpless still:No heels to bear him from the op'ning dun,No claws to dig, his hated sight to shun:No horns, but those by luckless Hymen worn,And those, alas! not Amalthea's horn:No nerves olfact'ry, true to Mammon's foot,Or grunting, grub sagacious, evil's root:The silly sheep that wanders wild astray,Is not more friendless, is not more a prey;Vampyre-booksellers drain him to the heart,And viper-critics cureless venom dart.Critics! appll'd I venture on the name,Those cut-throat bandits in the paths of fame,Bloody dissectors, worse than ten Monroes,He hacks to teach, they mangle to expose:By blockhead's daring into madness stung,His heart by wanton, causeless malice wrung,His well-won ways-than life itself more dear—By miscreants torn who ne'er one sprig must wear;Foil'd, bleeding, tortur'd in th' unequal strife,The hapless Poet flounces on through life,Till, fled each hope that once his bosom fired,And fled each Muse that glorious once inspir'd,Low-sunk in squalid, unprotected age,Dead even resentment for his injur'd page,He heeds no more the ruthless critics' rage.So by some hedge the generous steed deceas'd,For half-starv'd, snarling curs a dainty feast;By toil and famine worn to skin and bone,Lies, senseless of each tugging bitch's son.· · · · · · A little upright, pert, tart, tripping wight,And still his precious self his dear delight;Who loves his own smart shadow in the streets,Better than e'er the fairest she he meets;Much specious lore, but little understood,(Veneering oft outshines the solid wood),His solid sense, by inches you must tell,But mete his cunning by the Scottish ell!A man of fashion too, he made his tour,Learn'd \"vive la bagatelle et vive l'amour;\"So travell'd monkeys their grimace improve,Polish their grin-nay, sigh for ladies' love!His meddling vanity, a busy fiend,Still making work his selfish craft must mend.· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Crochallan came,The old cock'd hat, the brown surtout—the same;His grisly beard just bristling in its might—'Twas four long nights and days from shaving-night;His uncomb'd, hoary locks, wild-staring, thatch'dA head, for thought profound and clear, unmatch'd;Yet, tho' his caustic wit was biting-rude,His heart was warm, benevolent and good.· · · · · · O Dulness, portion of the truly blest!Calm, shelter'd haven of eternal rest!Thy sons ne'er madden in the fierce extremesOf Fortune's polar frost, or torrid beams;If mantling high she fills the golden cup,With sober, selfish ease they sip it up;Conscious the bounteous meed they well deserve,They only wonder \"some folks\" do not starve!The grave, sage hern thus easy picks his frog,And thinks the mallard a sad worthless dog.When disappointment snaps the thread of Hope,When, thro' disastrous night, they darkling grope,With deaf endurance sluggishly they bear,And just conclude that \"fools are Fortune's care:\"So, heavy, passive to the tempest's shocks,Strong on the sign-post stands the stupid ox.Not so the idle Muses'

from ev'ry bough;The chanting linnet, or the mellow thrush,Hailing the setting sun, sweet, in the green thorn bush;The soaring lark, the perching red-breast shrill,Or deep-ton'd plovers grey, wild-whistling o'er the hill;Shall he—nurst in the peasant's lowly shed,To hardy independence bravely bred,By early poverty to hardship steel'd.And train'd to arms in stern Misfortune's field—Shall he be guilty of their hireling crimes,The servile, mercenary Swiss of rhymes?Or labour hard the panegyric close,With all the venal soul of dedicating prose?No! though his artless strains he rudely sings,And throws his hand uncouthly o'er the strings,He glows with all the spirit of the Bard,Fame, honest fame, his great, his dear reward.Still, if some patron's gen'rous care he trace,Skill'd in the secret, to bestow with grace;When Ballantine befriends his humble name,And hands the rustic stranger up to fame,With heartfelt throes his grateful bosom swells,The godlike bliss, to give, alone excels.—————— 'Twas when the stacks get on their winter hap,And thack and rape secure the toil-won crap;Potatoe-bings are snuggèd up frae skaithO' coming Winter's biting, frosty breath;The bees, rejoicing o'er their summer toils,Unnumber'd buds an' flow'rs' delicious spoils,Seal'd up with frugal care in massive waxen piles,Are doom'd by Man, that tyrant o'er the weak,The death o' devils, smoor'd wi' brimstone reek:The thundering guns are heard on ev'ry side,The wounded coveys, reeling, scatter wide;The feather'd field-mates, bound by Nature's tie,Sires, mothers, children, in one carnage lie:(What warm, poetic heart but inly bleeds,And execrates man's savage, ruthless deeds!)Nae mair the flow'r in field or meadow springs,Nae mair the grove with airy concert rings,Except perhaps the Robin's whistling glee,Proud o' the height o' some bit half-lang tree:The hoary morns precede the sunny days,Mild, calm, serene, wide spreads the noontide blaze,While thick the gosamour waves wanton in the rays.'Twas in that season, when a simple Bard,Unknown and poor-simplicity's reward!—Ae night, within the ancient brugh of Ayr,By whim inspir'd, or haply prest wi' care,He left his bed, and took his wayward route,And down by Simpson's 1 wheel'd the left about:(Whether impell'd by all-directing Fate,To witness what I after shall narrate;Or whether, rapt in meditation high,He wander'd out, he knew not where or why:)The drowsy Dungeon-clock 2 had number'd two, and Wallace Tower 3 had sworn the fact was true:The tide-swoln firth, with sullen-sounding roar,Through the still night dash'd hoarse along the shore.All else was hush'd as Nature's closèd e'e;The silent moon shone high o'er tower and tree;The chilly frost, beneath the silver beam,Crept, gently-crusting, o'er the glittering stream—When, lo! on either hand the list'ning Bard,The clanging sugh of whistling wings is heard;Two dusky forms dart through the midnight air;Swift as the gos 4 drives on the wheeling hare;Ane on th' Auld Brig his airy shape uprears,The other flutters o'er the rising piers:Our warlock Rhymer instantly dexcriedThe Sprites that owre the Brigs of Ayr preside.(That Bards are second-sighted is nae joke,And ken the lingo of the sp'ritual folk;Fays, Spunkies, Kelpies, a', they can explain them,And even the very deils they brawly ken them).\"Auld Brig\" appear'd of ancient Pictish race,The very wrinkles Gothic in his face;He seem'd as he wi' Time had warstl'd lang,Yet, teughly doure, he bade an unco bang.\"New Brig\" was buskit in a braw new coat,That he, at Lon'on, frae ane Adams got;In 's hand five taper staves as smooth 's a bead,Wi' virls and whirlygigums at the head.The Goth was stalking round with anxious search,Spying the time-worn flaws in every arch;It chanc'd his new-come neibor took his e'e,And e'en a vexed and angry heart had he!Wi' thieveless sneer to see his modish mien,He, down the water, gies him this guid-e'en:—AULD BRIG\"I doubt na, frien', ye'll think ye're nae sheepshank,Ance ye were streekit owre frae bank to bank!But gin ye be a brig as auld as me—Tho' faith, that date, I doubt, ye'll never see—There'll be, if that day come, I'll wad a boddle,Some fewer whigmaleeries in your noddle.\"NEW BRIG \"Auld Vandal! ye but show your little mense,Just much about it wi' your scanty sense:Will your poor, narrow foot-path of a street,Where twa wheel-barrows tremble when they meet,Your ruin'd, formless bulk o' stane and lime,Compare wi' bonie brigs o' modern time?There's men of taste wou'd tak the Ducat stream, 5Tho' they should cast the very sark and swim,E'er they would grate their feelings wi' the viewO' sic an ugly, Gothic hulk as you.\"AULD BRIG \"Conceited gowk! puff'd up wi' windy pride!This mony a year I've stood the flood an'

continued, a'-day rains,Wi' deepening deluges o'erflow the plains;When from the hills where springs the brawling Coil,Or stately Lugar's mossy fountains boil;Or where the Greenock winds his moorland course.Or haunted Garpal draws his feeble source,Aroused by blustering winds an' spotting thowes,In mony a torrent down the snaw-broo rowes;While crashing ice, borne on the rolling spate,Sweeps dams, an' mills, an' brigs, a' to the gate;And from Glenbuck, 6 down to the Ratton-key, 7Auld Ayr is just one lengthen'd, tumbling sea—Then down ye'll hurl, (deil nor ye never rise!)And dash the gumlie

and doors in nameless sculptures drestWith order, symmetry, or taste unblest;Forms like some bedlam Statuary's dream,The craz'd creations of misguided whim;Forms might be worshipp'd on the bended knee,And still the second dread command be free;Their likeness is not found on earth, in air, or sea!Mansions that would disgrace the building tasteOf any mason reptile, bird or beast:Fit only for a doited monkish race,Or frosty maids forsworn the dear embrace,Or cuifs of later times, wha held the notion,That sullen gloom was sterling, true devotion:Fancies that our guid Brugh denies protection,And soon may they expire, unblest wi' resurrection!\"AULD BRIG \"O ye, my dear-remember'd, ancient yealings,Were ye but here to share my wounded feelings!Ye worthy Proveses, an' mony a

glory,In plain braid Scots hold forth a plain braid story;Nae langer thrifty citizens, an' douce,Meet owre a pint, or in the Council-house;But staumrel, corky-headed, graceless Gentry,The herryment

glanc'd:They footed o'er the wat'ry glass so neat,The infant ice scarce bent beneath their feet:While arts of Minstrelsy among them rung,And soul-ennobling Bards heroic ditties sung.O had M'Lauchlan,

joys or bleeding cares;How would his Highland lug been nobler fir'd,And ev'n his matchless hand with finer touch inspir'd!No guess could tell what instrument appear'd,But all the soul of Music's self was heard;Harmonious concert rung in every part,While simple melody pour'd moving on the heart.The Genius of the Stream in front appears,A venerable Chief advanc'd in years;His hoary head with water-lilies crown'd,His manly leg with garter-tangle bound.Next came the loveliest pair in all the ring,Sweet female Beauty hand in hand with Spring;Then, crown'd with flow'ry hay, came Rural Joy,And Summer, with his fervid-beaming eye;All-cheering Plenty, with her flowing horn,Led yellow Autumn wreath'd with nodding corn;Then Winter's time-bleach'd locks did hoary show,By Hospitality with cloudless brow:Next followed Courage with his martial stride,From where the Feal wild-woody coverts hide; 9Benevolence, with mild, benignant air,A female form, came from the tow'rs of Stair; 10Learning and Worth in equal measures trode,From simple Catrine, their long-lov'd abode: 11Last, white-rob'd Peace, crown'd with a hazel wreath,To rustic Agriculture did bequeathThe broken, iron

rhyme,In hamely, westlin jingle.While frosty winds blaw in the drift,Ben to the chimla lug,I grudge a wee the great-folk's gift,That live sae bien an' snug:I tent less, and want lessTheir roomy fire-side;But hanker, and canker,To see their cursed pride.It's hardly in a body's pow'rTo keep, at times, frae being sour,To see how things are shar'd;How best o' chiels are whiles in want,While coofs on countless thousands rant,And ken na how to wair't;But, Davie, lad, ne'er fash your head,Tho' we hae little gear;We're fit to win our daily bread,As lang's we're hale and fier:\"Mair spier na, nor fear na,\" 1Auld age ne'er mind a feg;The last o't, the warst o'tIs only but to beg.To lie in kilns and barns at e'en,When banes are craz'd, and bluid is thin,Is doubtless, great distress!Yet then content could make us blest;Ev'n then, sometimes, we'd snatch a tasteOf truest happiness.The honest heart that's free frae a'Intended fraud or guile,However Fortune kick the ba',Has aye some cause to smile;An' mind still, you'll find still,A comfort this nae sma';Nae mair then we'll care then,Nae farther can we fa'.What tho', like commoners of air,We wander out, we know not where,But either house or hal',Yet nature's charms, the hills and woods,The sweeping vales, and foaming floods,Are free alike to all.In days when daisies deck the ground,And blackbirds whistle clear,With honest joy our hearts will bound,To see the coming year:On braes when we please, then,We'll sit an' sowth a tune;Syne rhyme till't we'll time till't,An' sing't when we hae done.It's no in titles nor in rank;It's no in wealth like Lon'on bank,To purchase peace and rest:It's no in makin' muckle, mair;It's no in books, it's no in lear,To make us truly blest:If happiness hae not her seatAn' centre in the breast,We may be wise, or rich, or great,But never can be blest;Nae treasures, nor pleasuresCould make us happy lang;The heart aye's the part ayeThat makes us right or wrang.Think ye, that sic as you and I,Wha drudge an' drive thro' wet and dry,Wi' never ceasing toil;Think ye, are we less blest than they,Wha scarcely tent us in their way,As hardly worth their while?Alas! how aft in haughty mood,God's creatures they oppress!Or else, neglecting a' that's guid,They riot in excess!Baith careless and fearlessOf either heaven or hell;Esteeming and deemingIt's a' an idle tale!Then let us cheerfu' acquiesce,Nor make our scanty pleasures less,By pining at our state:And, even should misfortunes come,I, here wha sit, hae met wi' some—An's thankfu' for them yet.They gie the wit of age to youth;They let us ken oursel';They make us see the naked truth,The real guid and ill:Tho' losses an' crossesBe lessons right severe,There's wit there, ye'll get there,Ye'll find nae other where.But tent me, Davie, ace o' hearts!(To say aught less wad wrang the cartes,And flatt'ry I detest)This life has joys for you and I;An' joys that riches ne'er could buy,An' joys the very best.There's a' the pleasures o' the heart,The lover an' the frien';Ye hae your Meg, your dearest part,And I my darling Jean!It warms me, it charms me,To mention but her name:It heats me, it beets me,An' sets me a' on flame!O all ye Pow'rs who rule above!O Thou whose very self art love!Thou know'st my words sincere!The life-blood streaming thro' my heart,Or my more dear immortal part,Is not more fondly dear!When heart-corroding care and griefDeprive my soul of rest,Her dear idea brings relief,And solace to my breast.Thou Being, All-seeing,O hear my fervent pray'r;Still take her, and make herThy most peculiar care!All hail! ye tender feelings dear!The smile of love, the friendly tear,The sympathetic glow!Long since, this world's thorny waysHad number'd out my weary days,Had it not been for you!Fate still has blest me with a friend,In ev'ry care and ill;And oft a more endearing band—A tie more tender still.It lightens, it brightensThe tenebrific scene,To meet with, and greet withMy Davie, or my Jean!O, how that name inspires my style!The words come skelpin, rank an' file,Amaist before I ken!The ready measure rins as fine,As Phoebus an' the famous NineWere glowrin owre my pen.My spaviet Pegasus will limp,Till ance he's fairly het;And then he'll hilch, and stilt, an' jimp,And rin an unco fit:But least then the beast thenShould rue this hasty ride,I'll light now, and dight nowHis sweaty, wizen'd

trouts,That thro' my waters play,If, in their random, wanton spouts,They near the margin stray;If, hapless chance! they linger lang,I'm scorching up so shallow,They're left the whitening stanes

me;But had I in my glory been,He, kneeling, wad ador'd me.Here, foaming down the skelvy rocks,In twisting strength I rin;There, high my boiling torrent smokes,Wild-roaring o'er a linn:Enjoying each large spring and well,As Nature gave them me,I am, altho' I say't mysel',Worth gaun a mile to see.Would then my noble master pleaseTo grant my highest wishes,He'll shade my banks wi' tow'ring

yellow.This, too, a covert shall ensure,To shield them from the storm;And coward maukin sleep secure,Low in her grassy form:Here shall the shepherd make his seat,To weave his crown of flow'rs;Or find a shelt'ring, safe retreat,From prone-descending show'rs.And here, by sweet, endearing stealth,Shall meet the loving pair,Despising worlds, with all their wealth,As empty idle care;The flow'rs shall vie in all their charms,The hour of heav'n to grace;And birks extend their fragrant armsTo screen the dear embrace.Here haply too, at vernal dawn,Some musing bard may stray,And eye the smoking, dewy lawn,And misty mountain grey;Or, by the reaper's nightly beam,Mild-chequering thro' the trees,Rave to my darkly dashing stream,Hoarse-swelling on the breeze.Let lofty firs, and ashes cool,My lowly banks o'erspread,And view, deep-bending in the pool,Their shadow's wat'ry bed:Let fragrant birks, in woodbines drest,My craggy cliffs adorn;And, for the little songster's nest,The close embow'ring thorn.So may old Scotia's darling hope,Your little angel bandSpring, like their fathers, up to propTheir honour'd native land!So may, thro' Albion's farthest ken,To social-flowing glasses,The grace

afore a pettle.My hand-afore 's a guid auld has-been,An' wight an' wilfu' a' his days been:My hand-ahin 's a weel gaun fillie,That aft has borne me hame frae Killie. 2An' your auld borough mony a

dream!I joyless view thy rays adornThe faintly-marked, distant hill;I joyless view thy trembling horn,Reflected in the gurgling rill:My fondly-fluttering heart, be still!Thou busy pow'r, remembrance, cease!Ah! must the agonizing thrillFor ever bar returning peace!No idly-feign'd, poetic pains,My sad, love-lorn lamentings claim:No shepherd's pipe—Arcadian strains;No fabled tortures, quaint and tame.The plighted faith, the mutual flame,The oft-attested pow'rs above,The promis'd father's tender name;These were the pledges of my love!Encircled in her clasping arms,How have the raptur'd moments flown!How have I wish'd for fortune's charms,For her dear sake, and her's alone!And, must I think it! is she gone,My secret heart's exulting boast?And does she heedless hear my groan?And is she ever, ever lost?Oh! can she bear so base a heart,So lost to honour, lost to truth,As from the fondest lover part,The plighted husband of her youth?Alas! life's path may be unsmooth!Her way may lie thro' rough distress!Then, who her pangs and pains will sootheHer sorrows share, and make them less?Ye wingèd hours that o'er us pass'd,Enraptur'd more, the more enjoy'd,Your dear remembrance in my breastMy fondly-treasur'd thoughts employ'd:That breast, how dreary now, and void,For her too scanty once of room!Ev'n ev'ry ray of hope destroy'd,And not a wish to gild the gloom!The morn, that warns th' approaching day,Awakes me up to toil and woe;I see the hours in long array,That I must suffer, lingering, slow:Full many a pang, and many a throe,Keen recollection's direful train,Must wring my soul, were Phoebus, low,Shall kiss the distant western main.And when my nightly couch I try,Sore harass'd out with care and grief,My toil-beat nerves, and tear-worn eye,Keep watchings with the nightly thief:Or if I slumber, fancy, chief,Reigns, haggard-wild, in sore affright:Ev'n day, all-bitter, brings reliefFrom such a horror-breathing night.O thou bright queen, who o'er th' expanseNow highest reign'st, with boundless swayOft has thy silent-marking glanceObserv'd us, fondly-wand'ring, stray!The time, unheeded, sped away,While love's luxurious pulse beat high,Beneath thy silver-gleaming ray,To mark the mutual-kindling eye.Oh! scenes in strong remembrance set!Scenes, never, never to return!Scenes, if in stupor I forget,Again I feel, again I burn!From ev'ry joy and pleasure torn,Life's

""poem.content"": ""I SING of a Whistle, a Whistle of worth,I sing of a Whistle, the pride of the North.Was brought to the court of our good Scottish King,And long with this Whistle all Scotland shall ring.Old Loda, still rueing the arm of Fingal,The god of the bottle sends down from his hall—\"The Whistle's your challenge, to Scotland get o'er,And drink them to hell, Sir! or ne'er see me more!\"Old poets have sung, and old chronicles tell,What champions ventur'd, what champions fell:The son of great Loda was conqueror still,And blew on the Whistle their requiem shrill.Till Robert, the lord of the Cairn and the Scaur,Unmatch'd at the bottle, unconquer'd in war,He drank his poor god-ship as deep as the sea;No tide of the Baltic e'er drunker than he.Thus Robert, victorious, the trophy has gain'd;Which now in his house has for ages remain'd;Till three noble chieftains, and all of his blood,The jovial contest again have renew'd.Three joyous good fellows, with hearts clear of flawCraigdarroch, so famous for with, worth, and law;And trusty Glenriddel, so skill'd in old coins;And gallant Sir Robert, deep-read in old wines.Craigdarroch began, with a tongue smooth as oil,Desiring Downrightly to yield up the spoil;Or else he would muster the heads of the clan,And once more, in claret, try which was the man.\"By the gods of the ancients!\" Downrightly replies,\"Before I surrender so glorious a prize,I'll conjure the ghost of the great Rorie More,And bumper his horn with him twenty times o'er.\"Sir Robert, a soldier, no speech would pretend,But he ne'er turn'd his back on his foe, or his friend;Said, \"Toss down the Whistle, the prize of the field,\"And, knee-deep in claret, he'd die ere he'd yield.To the board of Glenriddel our heroes repair,So noted for drowning of sorrow and care;But, for wine and for welcome, not more known to fame,Than the sense, wit, and taste, of a sweet lovely dame.A bard was selected to witness the fray,And tell future ages the feats of the day;A Bard who detested all sadness and spleen,And wish'd that Parnassus a vineyard had been.The dinner being over, the claret they ply,And ev'ry new cork is a new spring of joy;In the bands of old friendship and kindred so set,And the bands grew the tighter the more they were wet.Gay Pleasure ran riot as bumpers ran o'er:Bright Phoebus ne'er witness'd so joyous a core,And vow'd that to leave them he was quite forlorn,Till Cynthia hinted he'd see them next morn.Six bottles a-piece had well wore out the night,When gallant Sir Robert, to finish the fight,Turn'd o'er in one bumper a bottle of red,And swore 'twas the way that their ancestor did.Then worthy Glenriddel, so cautious and sage,No longer the warfare ungodly would wage;A high Ruling Elder to wallow in wine;He left the foul business to folks less divine.The gallant Sir Robert fought hard to the end;But who can with Fate and quart bumpers contend!Though Fate said, a hero should perish in light;So uprose bright Phoebus-and down fell the knight.Next uprose our Bard, like a prophet in drink:—\"Craigdarroch, thou'lt soar when creation shall sink!But if thou would flourish immortal in rhyme,Come—one bottle more—and have at the sublime!\"Thy line, that have struggled for freedom with Bruce,Shall heroes and patriots ever produce:So thine be the laurel, and mine be the bay;The field thou hast won, by yon bright god of day!\""", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Burns"" }, ""18996"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 18996, ""poem.id"": 18996, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 06:06:56"", ""poem.title"":

man.\"The sun that overhangs yon moors,Out-spreading far and wide,Where hundreds labour to supportA haughty lordling's pride;—I've seen yon weary winter-sunTwice forty times return;And ev'ry time has added proofs,That man was made to mourn.\"O man! while in thy early years,How prodigal of time!Mis-spending all thy precious hours—Thy glorious, youthful prime!Alternate follies take the sway;Licentious passions burn;Which tenfold force gives Nature's law.That man was made to mourn.\"Look not alone on youthful prime,Or manhood's active might;Man then is useful to his kind,Supported in

pasture, or do what she would:Her heav'nly relations there fixed her reign,And pledg'd her their godheads to warrant it good.A lambkin in peace, but a lion in war,The pride of her kindred, the heroine grew:Her grandsire, old Odin, triumphantly swore,—\"Whoe'er shall provoke thee, th' encounter shall rue!\"With tillage or pasture at times she would sport,To feed her fair flocks by her green rustling corn;But chiefly the woods were her fav'rite resort,Her darling amusement, the hounds and the horn.Long quiet she reigned; till thitherward steersA flight of bold eagles from Adria's strand:Repeated, successive, for many long years,They darken'd the air, and they plunder'd the land:Their pounces were murder, and terror their cry,They'd conquer'd and ruin'd a world beside;She took to her hills, and her arrows let fly,The daring invaders they fled or they died.The Cameleon-Savage disturb'd her repose,With tumult, disquiet, rebellion, and strife;Provok'd beyond bearing, at last she arose,And robb'd him at once of his hopes and his life:The Anglian lion, the terror of France,Oft prowling, ensanguin'd the Tweed's silver flood;But, taught by the bright Caledonian lance,He learnèd to fear in his own native wood.The fell Harpy-raven took wing from the north,The scourge of the seas, and the dread of the shore;The wild Scandinavian boar issued forthTo wanton in carnage and wallow in gore:O'er countries and kingdoms their fury prevail'd,No arts could appease them, no arms could repel;But brave Caledonia in vain they assail'd,As Largs well can witness, and Loncartie tell.Thus bold,

day,The curless quat their roarin play,And hunger'd maukin taen her way,To kail-yards green,While faithless snaws ilk step betrayWhare she has been.The thresher's weary flingin-tree,The lee-lang day had tired me;And when the day had clos'd his e'e,Far i' the west,Ben i' the spence, right pensivelie,I gaed to rest.There, lanely by the ingle-cheek,I sat and ey'd the spewing reek,That fill'd, wi' hoast-provoking smeek,The auld clay biggin;An' heard the restless rattons squeakAbout the riggin.All in this mottie, misty clime,I backward mus'd on wasted time,How I had spent my youthfu' prime,An' done nae thing,But stringing blethers up in rhyme,For fools to sing.Had I to guid advice but harkit,I might, by this, hae led a market,Or strutted in a bank and clarkitMy cash-account;While here, half-mad, half-fed, half-sarkit.Is a' th' amount.I started, mutt'ring, \"blockhead! coof!\"And heav'd on high my waukit loof,To swear by a' yon starry roof,Or some rash aith,That I henceforth wad be rhyme-proofTill my last breath—When click! the string the snick did draw;An' jee! the door gaed to the wa';An' by my ingle-lowe I saw,Now bleezin bright,A tight, outlandish hizzie, braw,Come full in sight.Ye need na doubt, I held my whisht;The infant aith, half-form'd, was crushtI glowr'd as eerie's I'd been dushtIn some wild glen;When sweet, like honest Worth, she blusht,An' steppèd ben.Green, slender, leaf-clad holly-boughsWere twisted, gracefu', round her brows;I took her for some Scottish Muse,By that same token;And come to stop those reckless vows,Would soon been broken.A \"hair-brain'd, sentimental trace\"Was strongly markèd in her face;A wildly-witty, rustic graceShone full upon her;Her eye, ev'n turn'd on empty space,Beam'd keen with honour.Down flow'd her robe, a tartan sheen,Till half a leg was scrimply seen;An' such a leg! my bonie JeanCould only peer it;Sae straught, sae taper, tight an' clean—Nane else came near it.Her mantle large, of greenish hue,My gazing wonder chiefly drew:Deep lights and shades, bold-mingling, threwA lustre grand;And seem'd, to my astonish'd view,A well-known land.Here, rivers in the sea were lost;There, mountains to the skies were toss't:Here, tumbling billows mark'd the coast,With surging foam;There, distant shone Art's lofty boast,The lordly dome.Here, Doon pour'd down his far-fetch'd floods;There, well-fed Irwine stately thuds:Auld hermit Ayr staw thro' his woods,On to the shore;And many a lesser torrent scuds,With seeming roar.Low, in a sandy valley spread,An ancient borough rear'd her head;Still, as in Scottish story read,She boasts a raceTo ev'ry nobler virtue bred,And polish'd grace. 2By stately tow'r, or palace fair,Or ruins pendent in the air,Bold stems of heroes, here and there,I could discern;Some seem'd to muse, some seem'd to dare,With feature stern.My heart did glowing transport feel,To see a race heroic 3 wheel,And brandish round the deep-dyed steel,In sturdy blows;While, back-recoiling, seem'd to reelTheir Suthron foes.His Country's Saviour, 4 mark him well!Bold Richardton's heroic swell,; 5The chief, on Sark who glorious fell, 6In high command;And he whom ruthless fates expelHis native land.There, where a sceptr'd Pictish shadeStalk'd round his ashes lowly laid, 7I mark'd a martial race, pourtray'dIn colours strong:Bold, soldier-featur'd, undismay'd,They strode along.Thro' many a wild, romantic grove, 8Near many a hermit-fancied cove(Fit haunts for friendship or for love,In musing mood),An aged Judge, I saw him rove,Dispensing good.With deep-struck, reverential awe,The learned Sire and Son I saw: 9To Nature's God, and Nature's law,They gave their lore;This, all its source and end to draw,That, to adore.Brydon's brave ward 10 I well could spy,Beneath old Scotia's smiling eye:Who call'd on Fame, low standing by,To hand him on,Where many a patriot-name on high,And hero shone.DUAN SECONDWith musing-deep, astonish'd stare,I view'd the heavenly-seeming Fair;A whispering throb did witness bearOf kindred sweet,When with an elder sister's airShe did me greet.\"All hail! my own inspired bard!In me thy native Muse regard;Nor longer mourn thy fate is hard,Thus poorly low;I come to give thee such reward,As we bestow!\"Know, the great genius of this landHas many a light aerial band,Who, all beneath his high command,Harmoniously,As arts or arms they understand,Their labours ply.\"They Scotia's race among them share:Some fire the soldier on to dare;Some rouse the patriot up to bareCorruption's heart:Some teach the bard—a darling care—The tuneful art.\"'Mong swelling floods of reeking gore,They, ardent, kindling spirits pour;Or, 'mid the venal senate's roar,They, sightless, stand,To mend the honest patriot-lore,And grace the hand.\"And when the bard, or hoary sage,Charm or instruct the future age,They bind the wild poetric rageIn energy,Or point the inconclusive pageFull on the eye.\"Hence, Fullarton, the brave and young;Hence, Dempster's zeal-inspired tongue;Hence, sweet, harmonious Beattie sungHis 'Minstrel lays';Or tore, with noble ardour stung,The sceptic's bays.\"To lower orders are assign'dThe humbler ranks of human-kind,The rustic bard, the lab'ring hind,The artisan;All choose, as various they're inclin'd,The various man.\"When yellow waves the heavy grain,The threat'ning storm some strongly rein;Some teach to meliorate the plainWith tillage-skill;And some instruct the shepherd-train,Blythe o'er the hill.\"Some hint the lover's harmless wile;Some grace the maiden's artless smile;Some soothe the lab'rer's weary toilFor humble gains,And make his cottage-scenes beguileHis cares and pains.\"Some, bounded to a district-spaceExplore at large man's infant race,To mark the embryotic traceOf rustic bard;And careful note each opening grace,A guide and guard.\"Of these am I—Coila my name:And this district as mine I claim,Where once the Campbells, chiefs of fame,Held ruling power:I mark'd thy embryo-tuneful flame,Thy natal hour.\"With future hope I oft would gazeFond, on thy little early ways,Thy rudely, caroll'd, chiming phrase,In uncouth rhymes;Fir'd at the simple, artless laysOf other times.\"I saw thee seek the sounding shore,Delighted with the dashing roar;Or when the North his fleecy storeDrove thro' the sky,I saw grim Nature's visage hoarStruck thy young eye.\"Or when the deep green-mantled earthWarm cherish'd ev'ry floweret's birth,And joy and music pouring forthIn ev'ry grove;I saw thee eye the general mirthWith boundless love.\"When ripen'd fields and azure skiesCall'd forth the reapers' rustling noise,I saw thee leave their ev'ning joys,And lonely stalk,To vent thy bosom's swelling rise,In pensive walk.\"When youthful love, warm-blushing, strong,Keen-shivering, shot thy nerves along,Those accents grateful to thy tongue,Th' adorèd Name,I taught thee how to pour in song,To soothe thy flame.\"I saw thy pulse's maddening play,Wild send thee Pleasure's devious way,Misled by Fancy's meteor-ray,By passion driven;But yet the light that led astrayWas light from Heaven.\"I taught thy manners-painting strains,The loves, the ways of simple swains,Till now, o'er all my wide domainsThy fame extends;And some, the pride of Coila's plains,Become thy friends.\"Thou canst not learn, nor I can show,To paint with Thomson's landscape glow;Or wake the bosom-melting throe,With Shenstone's art;Or pour, with Gray, the moving flowWarm on the heart.\"Yet, all beneath th' unrivall'd rose,T e lowly daisy sweetly blows;Tho' large the forest's monarch throwsHis army shade,Yet green the juicy hawthorn grows,Adown the glade.\"Then never murmur nor repine;Strive in thy humble sphere to shine;And trust me, not Potosi's mine,Nor king's regard,Can give a bliss o'ermatching thine,A rustic bard.\"To give my counsels all in one,Thy tuneful flame still careful fan:Preserve the dignity of Man,With soul erect;And trust the Universal PlanWill all protect."",

chain;To run the twelvemonth's length again:I see, the old bald-pated fellow,With ardent eyes, complexion sallow,Adjust the unimpair'd machine,To wheel the equal, dull routine.The absent lover, minor heir,In vain assail him with their prayer;Deaf as my friend, he sees them press,Nor makes the hour one moment less,Will you (the Major's with the hounds,The happy tenants share his rounds;Coila's fair Rachel's care to-day,And blooming Keith's engaged with Gray)From housewife cares a minute borrow,(That grandchild's cap will do to-morrow,)And join with me a-moralizing;This day's propitious to be wise in.First, what did yesternight deliver?\"Another year has gone for ever.\"And what is this day's strong suggestion?\"The passing moment's all we rest on!\"Rest on—for what? what do we here?Or why regard the passing year?Will Time, amus'd with proverb'd lore,Add to our date one minute more?A few days may—a few years must—Repose us in the silent dust.Then, is it wise to damp our bliss?Yes—all such reasonings are amiss!The voice of Nature loudly cries,And many a message from the skies,That something in us never dies:That on his frail, uncertain state,Hang matters of eternal weight:That future life in worlds unknownMust take its hue from this alone;Whether as heavenly glory bright,Or dark as Misery's woeful night.Since then, my honour'd first of friends,On this poor being all depends,Let us th' important now employ,And live as those who never die.Tho' you, with days and honours crown'd,Witness that filial circle round,(A sight life's sorrows to repulse,A sight pale Envy to convulse),Others now claim your chief regard;Yourself, you wait your bright reward."", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Burns"" }, ""19068"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 19068, ""poem.id"": 19068, ""poem.ts"":

dogs like me,12 An' hear us squeel!13 Great is thy pow'r, an' great thy fame;14 Far ken'd an' noted is thy name;15 An' tho' yon lowin heugh's thy hame,16 Thou travels far;17 An' faith! thou's neither lag nor lame,18 Nor blate nor scaur.19 Whyles, ranging like a roarin lion,20 For prey a' holes an' corners tryin;21 Whyles, on the strong-wing'd tempest flyin,22 Tirlin' the kirks;23 Whyles, in the human bosom pryin,24 Unseen thou lurks.25 I've heard my rev'rend graunie say,26 In lanely glens ye like to stray;27 Or whare auld ruin'd castles gray28 Nod to the moon,29 Ye fright the nightly wand'rer's way30 Wi' eldritch croon.31 When twilight did my graunie summon32 To say her pray'rs, douce honest woman!33 Aft yont the dike she's heard you bummin,34 Wi' eerie drone;35 Or, rustlin thro'

Majesty! May Heaven augment your blisses On ev'ry new birth-day ye see, A humble poet wishes. My bardship here, at your Levee On sic a day as this is, Is sure an uncouth sight to see, Amang thae birth-day dresses Sae fine this day. I see ye're complimented thrang, By mony a lord an' lady; \"God save the King\" 's a cuckoo sang That's unco easy said aye: The poets, too, a venal gang, Wi' rhymes weel-turn'd an' ready, Wad gar you trow ye ne'er do wrang, But aye unerring steady, On sic a day. For me! before a monarch's face Ev'n there I winna flatter; For neither pension, post, nor place, Am I your humble debtor: So, nae reflection on your Grace, Your Kingship to bespatter; There's mony waur been o' the race, And aiblins ane been better Than you this day. 'Tis very true, my sovereign King, My skill may weel be doubted; But facts are chiels that winna ding, An' downa be disputed: Your royal nest, beneath your wing, Is e'en right reft and clouted, And now the third part o' the string, An' less, will gang aboot it Than did ae day.^1 Far be't frae me that I aspire To blame your legislation, Or say, ye wisdom want, or fire, To rule this mighty nation: But faith! I muckle doubt, my sire, Ye've trusted ministration To chaps wha in barn or byre Wad better fill'd their station Than courts yon day. And now ye've gien auld Britain peace, Her broken shins to plaister, Your sair taxation does her fleece, Till she has scarce a tester: For me, thank God, my life's a lease, Nae bargain wearin' faster, Or, faith! I fear, that, wi' the geese, I shortly boost to pasture I' the craft some day. I'm no mistrusting Willie Pitt, When taxes he enlarges, (An' Will's a true guid fallow's get, A name not envy spairges), That he intends to pay your debt, An' lessen a' your charges; But, God-sake! let nae saving fit Abridge your bonie barges An'boats this day. Adieu, my Liege; may freedom geck Beneath your high protection; An' may ye rax Corruption's neck, And gie her for dissection! But since I'm here, I'll no neglect, In loyal, true affection, To pay your Queen, wi' due respect, May fealty an' subjection This great birth-day. Hail, Majesty most Excellent! While nobles strive to please ye, Will ye accept a compliment, A simple poet gies ye? Thae bonie bairntime, Heav'n has lent, Still higher may they heeze ye In bliss, till fate some day is sent For ever to release ye Frae care that day. For you, young Potentate o'Wales, I tell your highness fairly, Down Pleasure's stream, wi' swelling sails, I'm tauld ye're driving rarely; But some day ye may gnaw your nails, An' curse your folly sairly, That e'er ye brak Diana's pales, Or rattl'd dice wi' Charlie By night or day. Yet aft a ragged cowt's been known, To mak a noble aiver; So, ye may doucely fill the throne, For a'their clish-ma-claver: There, him^2 at Agincourt wha shone, Few better were or braver: And yet, wi' funny, queer Sir John,^3 He was an unco shaver For mony a day. For you, right rev'rend Osnaburg, Nane sets the lawn-sleeve sweeter, Altho' a ribbon at your lug Wad been a dress completer: As ye disown yon paughty dog, That bears the keys of Peter, Then swith! an' get a wife to hug, Or trowth, ye'll stain the mitre Some luckless day! Young, royal Tarry-breeks, I learn, Ye've lately come athwart her- A glorious galley,^4 stem and stern, Weel rigg'd for Venus' barter; But first hang out, that she'll discern, Your hymeneal charter; Then heave aboard your grapple airn, An' large upon her quarter, Come full that day. Ye, lastly, bonie blossoms a', Ye royal lasses dainty, Heav'n mak you guid as well as braw, An' gie you lads a-plenty! But sneer na British boys awa! For kings are unco scant aye, An' German gentles are but sma', They're better just than want aye On ony day. Gad bless you a'! consider now, Ye're unco muckle dautit; But ere the course o' life be through, It may be bitter sautit: An' I hae seen their coggie fou, That yet hae tarrow't at it. But or the day was done, I trow, The laggen they hae clautit Fu' clean that day."", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Burns"" }, ""19201"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 19201, ""poem.id"": 19201, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 06:21:51"", ""poem.title"": ""Auld Lang Syne"", ""poem.date"": ""5/13/2001"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Burns"" }, ""19202"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 19202, ""poem.id"": 19202, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 06:21:53"", ""poem.title"": ""My Heart's In The Highlands"", ""poem.date"": ""1/13/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Burns"" }, ""19203"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 19203, ""poem.id"": 19203, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 06:21:59"", ""poem.title"": ""To A Mouse"", ""poem.date"": ""12/31/2002"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Burns"" }, ""19204"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 19204, ""poem.id"": 19204, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 06:22:05"", ""poem.title"": ""A Winter Night"", ""poem.date"": ""5/13/2001"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Burns"" }, ""19205"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 19205, ""poem.id"": 19205, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 06:22:11"", ""poem.title"": ""A Man's A Man For A' That"", ""poem.date"": ""5/13/2001"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Burns"" }, ""19206"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 19206, ""poem.id"": 19206, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 06:22:16"", ""poem.title"": ""A Fond Kiss"", ""poem.date"": ""1/3/2003"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Burns"" }, ""19207"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 19207, ""poem.id"": 19207, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 06:22:20"", ""poem.title"": ""A Red, Red Rose"", ""poem.date"": ""5/13/2001"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""Robert Burns"" } }" 19,"2018-02-28 20:38:11","William Butler Yeats","{ ""708"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 708, ""poem.id"": 708, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-01 04:36:21"", ""poem.title"": ""The Statesman's Holiday"", ""poem.date"": ""5/17/2001"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Butler Yeats"" }, ""709"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 709, ""poem.id"": 709, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-01 04:36:27"", ""poem.title"": ""The Spirit Medium"", ""poem.date"": ""5/17/2001"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Butler Yeats"" }, ""710"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 710, ""poem.id"": 710, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-01 04:36:31"", ""poem.title"": ""The Spur"", ""poem.date"": ""5/17/2001"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Butler Yeats"" }, ""711"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 711, ""poem.id"": 711, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-01 04:36:36"", ""poem.title"": ""The Death of Cuchulain"", ""poem.date"": ""6/13/2015"", ""poem.content"": ""The harlot sang to the beggar-man.

What stood in the Post Office With Pearse and Connolly? What comes out of the mountain Where men first shed their blood? Who thought Cuchulain till it seemed He stood where they had stood?

will bring a crown of goldBending humbly every knee,Now thy great white doll to hold --Oh, so happy would we be!Ah it is so very big,And we are so very small!So we dance a fairy jigTo the fiddle's rise and fall.Yonder see the fairy girlsAll their jealousy display,Lift their chins and toss their curls,Lift their chins and turn away.See you, brother, Cranberry Fruit --He! ho! ho! the merry blade! --Hugs and pets and pats yon newt,Teasing every wilful maid.Girl Fairies: Lead they one with foolish care,Deafening us with idle sound --One whose breathing shakes the air,One whose footfall shakes the ground.Come you, Coltsfoot, Mousetail, come!Come I know where, far away,Owls there be whom age makes numb;Come and tease them till the day.Puffed like puff-balls on a tree,Scoff they at the modern earth --Ah! how large mice used to beIn their days of youthful mirth!Come, beside a sandy lake,Feed a fire with stems of grass;Roasting berries steam and shake --Talking hours swiftly pass!Long before the morning fireWake the larks upon the green.Yonder foolish ones will tireOf their tall, new-fangled queen.They will lead her home againTo the orchard-circled farm;At the house of weary menRaise the

reading-books and histories,To cut and sew, be neat in everythingIn the best modern way -- the children's eyesIn momentary wonder stare uponA sixty-year-old smiling public man.I dream of a Ledaean body, bentAbove a sinking fire. a tale that sheTold of a harsh reproof, or trivial eventThat changed some childish day to tragedy --Told, and it seemed that our two natures blentInto a sphere from youthful sympathy,Or else, to alter Plato's parable,Into the yolk and white of the one shell.IIIAnd thinking of that fit of grief or rageI look upon one child or t'other thereAnd wonder if she stood so at that age --For even daughters of the swan can shareSomething of every paddler's heritage --And had that colour upon cheek or hair,And thereupon my heart is driven wild:She stands before me as a living child.Her present image floats into the mind --Did Quattrocento finger fashion itHollow of cheek as though it drank the windAnd took a mess of shadows for its meat?And I though never of Ledaean kindHad pretty plumage once -- enough of that,Better to smile on all that smile, and showThere is a comfortable kind of old scarecrow.What youthful mother, a shape upon her lapHoney of generation had betrayed,And that must sleep, shriek, struggle to escapeAs recollection or the drug decide,Would think her Son, did she but see that shapeWith sixty or more winters on its head,A compensation for the pang of his birth,Or the uncertainty of his setting forth?Plato thought nature but a spume that playsUpon a ghostly paradigm of things;Solider Aristotle played the tawsUpon the bottom of a king of kings;World-famous golden-thighed PythagorasFingered upon a fiddle-stick or stringsWhat a star sang and careless Muses heard:Old clothes upon old sticks to scare a bird.VIIBoth nuns and mothers worship images,But thos the candles light are not as thoseThat animate a mother's reveries,But keep a marble or a bronze repose.And yet they too break hearts -- O presencesThat passion, piety or affection knows,And that all heavenly glory symbolise --O self-born mockers of man's enterprise;VIIILabour is blossoming or dancing whereThe body is not bruised to pleasure soul.Nor beauty born out of its own despair,Nor blear-eyed wisdom out of midnight oil.O chestnut-tree, great-rooted blossomer,Are you the leaf, the blossom or the bole?O body swayed to music, O brightening glance,How can we know

LoveTHOUGH nurtured like the sailing moonIn beauty's murderous brood,She walked awhile and blushed awhileAnd on my pathway stoodUntil I thought her body boreA heart of flesh and blood.But since I laid a hand thereonAnd found a heart of stoneI have attempted many thingsAnd not a thing is done,For every hand is lunaticThat travels on the moon.She smiled and that transfigured meAnd left me but a lout,Maundering here, and maundering there,Emptier of thoughtThan the heavenly circuit of its starsWhen the moon sails out.IIHuman DignityLike the moon her kindness is,If kindness I may callWhat has no comprehension in't,But is the same for allAs though my sorrow were a sceneUpon a painted wall.So like a bit of stone I lieUnder a broken tree.I could recover if I shriekedMy heart's agonyTo passing bird, but I am dumbFrom human dignity.IIIThe Mermaid A mermaid found a swimming lad,Picked him for her own,Pressed her body to his body,Laughed; and plunging downForgot in cruel happinessThat even lovers drown.IVThe Death of the HareI have pointed out the yelling pack,The hare leap to the wood,And when I pass a complimentRejoice as lover shouldAt the drooping of an eye,At the mantling of the blood.Then' suddenly my heart is wrungBy her distracted airAnd I remember wildness lostAnd after, swept from there,Am set down standing in the woodAt the death of the hare.VThe Empty CupA crazy man that found a cup,When all but dead of thirst,Hardly dared to wet his mouthImagining, moon-accursed,That another mouthfulAnd his beating heart would burst.October last I found it tooBut found it dry as bone,And for that reason am I crazedAnd my sleep is gone.VIHis MemoriesWe should be hidden from their eyes,Being but holy showsAnd bodies broken like a thornWhereon the bleak north blows,To think of buried HectorAnd that none living knows.The women take so little stockIn what I do or sayThey'd sooner leave their cossetingTo hear a jackass bray;My arms are like the twisted thornAnd yet there beauty lay;The first of all the tribe lay thereAnd did such pleasure take --She who had brought great Hector downAnd put all Troy to wreck --That she cried into this ear,'Strike me if I shriek.'VIIThe Friends of his YouthLaughter not time destroyed my voiceAnd put that crack in it,And when the moon's pot-belliedI get a laughing fit,For that old Madge comes down the lane,A stone upon her breast,And a cloak wrapped about the stone,And she can get no restWith singing hush and hush-a-bye;She that has been wildAnd barren as a breaking waveThinks that the stone's a child.And Peter that had great affairsAnd was a pushing manShrieks, 'I am King of the Peacocks,'And perches on a stone;And then I laugh till tears run downAnd the heart thumps at my side,Remembering that her shriek was loveAnd that he shrieks from pride.VIIISummer and SpringWe sat under an old thorn-treeAnd talked away the night,Told all that had been said or doneSince first we saw the light,And when we talked of growing upKnew that we'd halved a soulAnd fell the one in t'other's armsThat we might make it whole;Then peter had a murdering look,For it seemed that he and sheHad spoken of their childish daysUnder that very tree.O what a bursting out there was,And what a blossoming,When we had all the summer-timeAnd she had all the spring!IXThe Secrets of the OldI have old women's sectets nowThat had those of the young;Madge tells me what I dared not thinkWhen my blood was strong,And what had drowned a lover onceSounds like an old song.Though Margery is stricken dumbIf thrown in Madge's way,We three make up a solitude;For none alive to-dayCan know the stories that we knowOr say the things we say:How such a man pleased women mostOf all that are gone,How such a pair loved many yearsAnd such a pair but one,Stories of the bed of strawOr the bed of down.XHis WildnessO bid me mount and sail up thereAmid the cloudy wrack,For peg and Meg and Paris' loveThat had so straight a back,Are gone away, and some that stayHave changed their silk for sack.Were I but there and none to hearI'd have a peacock cry,For that is natural to a manThat lives in memory,Being all alone I'd nurse a stoneAnd sing it lullaby.XIFrom 'Oedipus at Colonus'Endure what life God gives and ask no longer span;Cease to remember the delights of youth, travel-wearied aged man;Delight becomes death-longing if all longing else be vain.Even from that delight memory treasures so,Death, despair, division of families, all entanglements of mankind grow,As that old wandering beggar and these God-hated children know.In the long echoing street the laughing dancers throng,The bride is catried to the bridegroom's chamberthrough torchlight and tumultuous song;I celebrate the silent kiss that ends short life or long.Never to have lived is best, ancient writers say;Never to have drawn the breath of life, never to havelooked into the eye of day;The second best's a gay goodnight and quickly turn away."", ""poem.author"":

At the right of the stage is the mast, with a large square sail hiding a great deal of the sky and sea on that side. The tiller is at the left of the stage; it is a long oar coming through an opening in the bulwark. The deck rises in a series of steps hehind the tiller, and the stern of the ship curves overhead. When the play opens there are four persons upon the deck. Aibric stands by the tiller. Forgael sleeps upon the raised portion of the deck towards the front of the stage. Two Sailors are standing near to the mast, on which a harp is hanging.First Sailor. Has he not led us into these waste seasFor long enough?Second Sailor. Aye, long and long enough.First Sailor. We have not come upon a shore or shipThese dozen weeks.Sccond Sailor. And I had thought to makeA good round Sum upon this cruise, and turn --For I am getting on in life -- to somethingThat has less ups and downs than robbery.First Sailor. I am so tired of being bachelorI could give all my heart to that Red MollThat had but the one eye.Second Sailor. Can no bewitchmentTransform these rascal billows into womenThat I may drown myself?First Sailor. Better steer home,Whether he will or no; and better stillTo take him while he sleeps and carry himAnd drop him from the gunnel.Second Sailor. I dare not do it.Were't not that there is magic in his harp,I would be of your mind; but when he plays itStrange creatures flutter up before one's eyes,Or cry about one's ears.First Sailor. Nothing to fear.Second Sailor. Do you remember when we sank thatgalleyAt the full moon?First Sailor. He played all through the night.Second Sailor. Until the moon had set; and when I lookedWhere the dead drifted, I could see a birdLike a grey gull upon the breast of each.While I was looking they rose hurriedly,And after circling with strange cries awhileFlew westward; and many a time since thenI've heard a rustling overhead in the wind.First Sailor. I saw them on that night as well as you.But when I had eaten and drunk myself asleepMy courage came again.Second Sailor. But that's not all.The other night, while he was playing it,A beautiful young man and girl came upIn a white breaking wave; they had the lookOf those that are alive for ever and ever.First Sailor. I saw them, too, one night. Forgael wasplaying,And they were listening ther& beyond the sail.He could not see them, but I held out my handsTo grasp the woman.Second Sailor. You have dared to touch her?First Sailor. O she was but a shadow, and slipped fromme.Second Sailor. But were you not afraid?First Sailor. Why should I fear?Second Sailor. 'Twas Aengus and Edain, the wanderinglovers,To whom all lovers pray.First Sailor. But what of that?A shadow does not carry sword or spear.Second Sailor. My mother told me that there is not oneOf the Ever-living half so dangerousAs that wild Aengus. Long before her dayHe carried Edain off from a king's house,And hid her among fruits of jewel-stoneAnd in a tower of glass, and from that dayHas hated every man that's not in love,And has been dangerous to him.First Sailor. I have heardHe does not hate seafarers as he hatesPeaceable men that shut the wind away,And keep to the one weary marriage-bed.Second Sailor. I think that he has Forgael in his net,And drags him through the sea,First Sailor Well, net or none,I'd drown him while we have the chance to do it.Second Sailor. It's certain I'd sleep easier o' nightsIf he were dead; but who will be our captain,Judge of the stars, and find a course for us?First Sailor. I've thought of that. We must have Aibricwith us,For he can judge the stars as well as Forgael.[Going towards Aibric.]Become our captain, Aibric. I am resolvedTo make an end of Forgael while he sleeps.There's not a man but will be glad of itWhen it is over, nor one to grumble at us.Aibric. You have taken pay and made your bargain for it.First Sailor. What good is there in this hard way ofliving,Unless we drain more flagons in a yearAnd kiss more lips than lasting peaceable menIn their long lives? Will you be of our troopAnd take the captain's share of everythingAnd bring us into populous seas again?Aibric. Be of your troop! Aibric be one of youAnd Forgael in the other scale! kill Forgael,And he my master from my childhood up!If you will draw that sword out of its scabbardI'll give my answer.First Sailor. You have awakened him.[To Second Sailor.]We'd better go, for we have lost this chance.[They go out.]Forgael. Have the birds passed us? I could hear yourvoice,But there were others.Aibric. I have seen nothing pass.Forgael. You're certain of it? I never wake from sleepBut that I am afraid they may have passed,For they're my only pilots. If I lost themStraying too far into the north or south,I'd never come upon the happinessThat has been promised me. I have not seen themThese many days; and yet there must be manyDying at every moment in the world,And flying towards their peace.Aibric. Put by these thoughts,And listen to me for a while. The sailorsAre plotting for your death.Forgael. Have I not givenMore riches than they ever hoped to find?And now they will not follow, while I seekThe only riches that have hit my fancy.Aibric. What riches can you find in this waste seaWhere no ship sails, where nothing that's aliveHas ever come but those man-headed birds,Knowing it for the world's end?Forgael. Where the world endsThe mind is made unchanging, for it findsMiracle, ecstasy, the impossible hope,The flagstone under all, the fire of fires,The roots of the world.Aibric. Shadows before nowHave driven travellers mad for their own sport.Forgael. Do you, too, doubt me? Have you joined theirplot?Aibric. No, no, do not say that. You know right wellThat I will never lift a hand against you.Forgael. Why should you be more faithful than the rest,Being as doubtful?Aibric. I have called you masterToo many years to lift a hand against you.Forgael. Maybe it is but natural to doubt me.You've never known, I'd lay a wager on it,A melancholy that a cup of wine,A lucky battle, or a woman's kissCould not amend.Aibric. I have good spirits enough.Forgael. If you will give me all your mind awhile --All, all, the very bottom of the bowl --I'll show you that I am made differently,That nothing can amend it but these waters,Where I am rid of life -- the events of the world --What do you call it? -- that old promise-breaker,The cozening fortune-teller that comes whispering,'You will have all you have wished for when you haveearnedLand for your children or money in a pot.-And when we have it we are no happier,Because of that old draught under the door,Or creaky shoes. And at the end of allHow are we better off than Seaghan the fool,That never did a hand's turn? Aibric! Aibric!We have fallen in the dreams the Ever-livingBreathe on the burnished mirror of the worldAnd then smooth out with ivory hands and sigh,And find their laughter sweeter to the tasteFor that brief sighing.Aibric. If you had loved some woman --Forgael. You say that also? You have heard the voices,For that is what they say -- all, all the shadows --Aengus and Edain, those passionate wanderers,And all the others; but it must be loveAs they have known it. Now the secret's out;For it is love that I am seeking for,But of a beautiful, unheard-of kindThat is not in the world.Aibric. And yet the worldHas beautiful women to please every man.Forgael. But he that gets their love after the fashion'Loves in brief longing and deceiving hopeAnd bodily tenderness, and finds that evenThe bed of love, that in the imaginationHad seemed to be the giver of all peace,Is no more than a wine-cup in the tasting,And as soon finished.Aibric. All that ever lovedHave loved that way -- there is no other way.Forgael. Yet never have two lovers kissed but theybelieved there was some other near at hand,And almost wept because they could not find it.Aibric. When they have twenty years; in middle lifeThey take a kiss for what a kiss is worth,And let the dream go by.Forgael. It's not a dream,But the reality that makes our passionAs a lamp shadow -- no -- no lamp, the sun.What the world's million lips are thirsting forMust be substantial somewhere.Aibric. I have heard the DruidsMutter such things as they awake from trance.It may be that the Ever-living know it --No mortal can.Forgael. Yes; if they give us help.Aibric. They are besotting you as they besotThe crazy herdsman that will tell his fellowsThat he has been all night upon the hills,Riding to hurley, or in the battle-hostWith the Ever-living.Forgael. What if he speak the truth,And for a dozen hours have been a partOf that more powerful life?Aibric, His wife knows better.Has she not seen him lying like a log,Or fumbling in a dream about the house?And if she hear him mutter of wild riders,She knows that it was but the cart-horse coughingThat set him to the fancy.Forgael. All would be wellCould we but give us wholly to the dreams,And get into their world that to the senseIs shadow, and not linger wretchedlyAmong substantial things; for it is dreamsThat lift us to the flowing, changing worldThat the heart longs for. What is love itself,Even though it be the lightest of light love,But dreams that hurry from beyond the worldTo make low laughter more than meat and drink,Though it but set us sighing? Fellow-wanderer,Could we but mix ourselves into a dream,Not in its image on the mirror!Aibric. WhileWe're in the body that's impossible.Forgael. And yet I cannot think they're leading meTo death; for they that promised to me loveAs those that can outlive the moon have known it, 'Had the world's total life gathered up, it seemed,Into their shining limbs -- I've had great teachers.Aengus and Edain ran up out of the wave --You'd never doubt that it was life they promisedHad you looked on them face to face as I did,With so red lips, and running on such feet,And having such wide-open, shining eyes.Aibric. It's certain they are leading you to death.None but the dead, or those that never lived,Can know that ecstasy. Forgael! Forgael!They have made you follow the man-headed birds,And you have told me that their journey liesTowards the country of the dead.Forgael. What matterIf I am going to my death? -- for there,Or somewhere, I shall find the love they havepromised.That much is certain. I shall find a woman.One of the Ever-living, as I think --One of the Laughing People -- and she and IShall light upon a place in the world's core,Where passion grows to be a changeless thing,Like charmed apples made of chrysoprase,Or chrysoberyl, or beryl, or chrysclite;And there, in juggleries of sight and sense,Become one movement, energy, delight,Until the overburthened moon is dead.[A number of Sailors entcr hurriedly.]First Sailor. Look there! there in the mist! a ship of spice!And we are almost on her!Second Sailor. We had not knownBut for the ambergris and sandalwood.First Sailor. NO; but opoponax and cinnamon.Forgael [taking the tiller from Aibric]. The Ever-living havekept my bargain for me,And paid you on the nail.Aibric. Take up that ropeTo make her fast while we are plundering her.First Sailor. There is a king and queen upon her deck,And where there is one woman there'll be others.Aibric. Speak lower, or they'll hear.First Sailor. They cannot hear;They are too busy with each other. Look!He has stooped down and kissed her on the lips.Second Sailor. When she finds out we have better menaboardShe may not be too sorry in the end.First Sailor. She will be like a wild cat; for these queensCare more about the kegs of silver and goldAnd the high fame that come to them in marriage,Than a strong body and a ready hand.Second Sailor. There's nobody is natural but a robber,And that is why the world totters aboutUpon its bandy legs.Aibric. Run at them now,And overpower the crew while yet asleep![The Sailors go out.]"", ""poem.author"": ""William Butler Yeats"" }, ""19580"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 19580, ""poem.id"": 19580, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 06:45:27"", ""poem.title"": ""Never Give All The Heart"", ""poem.date"": ""5/15/2001"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Butler Yeats"" }, ""19581"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 19581, ""poem.id"": 19581, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 06:45:34"", ""poem.title"": ""The Song Of Wandering Aengus"", ""poem.date"": ""5/17/2001"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Butler Yeats"" }, ""19582"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 19582, ""poem.id"": 19582, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 06:45:38"", ""poem.title"": ""A Friend's Illness"", ""poem.date"": ""5/15/2001"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Butler Yeats"" }, ""19583"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 19583, ""poem.id"": 19583, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 06:45:41"", ""poem.title"": ""The Stolen Child"", ""poem.date"": ""5/17/2001"", ""poem.content"": """", ""poem.author"": ""William Butler Yeats"" }, ""19584"": { ""poet_x_poem.id"": 19584, ""poem.id"": 19584, ""poem.ts"": ""2018-03-02 06:45:47"", ""poem.title"": ""A Prayer For My Daughter"", ""poem.date"": ""5/15/2001"", ""poem.content"": ""ONCE more the storm is howling, and half hidUnder this cradle-hood and coverlidMy child sleeps on.

hearing how it lied,Returned to her seclusion horrified.There she abode, so conscious of her worth,Not even Pilate's Question called her forth,Nor Galileo, kneeling to denyThe Laws that hold our Planet 'neath the sky.Meantime, her kindlier sister, whom men callFiction, did all her work and more than all,With so much zeal, devotion, tact, and care,That no one noticed Truth was otherwhere.Then came a War when, bombed and gassed and mined,Truth rose once more, perforce, to meet mankind,And through the dust and glare and wreck of things,Beheld a phantom on unbalanced wings,Reeling and groping, dazed, dishevelled, dumb,But semaphoring direr deeds to come.Truth hailed and bade her stand; the quavering shadeClung to her knees and babbled, \"Sister, aid!I am--I was--thy Deputy, and menBesought me for my useful tongue or penTo gloss their gentle deeds, and I complied,And they, and thy demands, were satisfied.But this--\" she pointed o'er the blistered plain,Where men as Gods and devils wrought amain--\"This is beyond me! Take thy work again.\"Tablets and pen transferred, she fled afar,And Truth assumed the record of the War...She saw, she heard, she read, she tried to tellFacts beyond precedent and parallel--Unfit to hint or breathe, much less to write,But happening every minute, day and night.She called for proof. It came. The dossiers grew.She marked them, first, \"Return. This can't be true.\"Then, underneath the cold official word:\"This is not really half of what occurred.\"She faced herself at last, the story runs,And telegraphed her sister: \"Come at once.Facts out of hand.

Bear witness, Heaven, of that grim crime beneath the surgeon's knife,The honourable gentlemen deplored the loss of life!Bear witness of those chanting choirs that burk and shirk and snigger,No man laid hand upon the knife or finger to the trigger! Cleared in the face of all mankind beneath the winking skies,Like ph]oenixes from Ph]oenix Park (and what lay there) they rise!Go shout it to the emerald seas -- give word to Erin now,Her honourable gentlemen are cleared -- and this is how: -- They only paid the Moonlighter his cattle-hocking price,They only helped the murderer with counsel's best advice,But -- sure it keeps their honour white -- the learned Court believesThey never gave a piece of plate to murderers and thieves. They never told the ramping crowd to card a woman's hide,They never marked a man for death -- what fault of theirs he died? --They only said 'intimidate', and talked and went away --By God, the boys that did the work were braver men than they! Their sin it was that fed the fire -- small blame to them that heard --The 'bhoys' get drunk on rhetoric, and madden at a word --They knew whom they were talking at, if they were Irish too,The gentlemen that lied in Court, they knew, and well they knew. They only took the Judas-gold from Fenians out of jail,They only fawned for dollars on the blood-dyed Clanna-Gael.If black is black or white is white, in black and white it's down,They're only traitors to the Queen and rebels to the Crown.

'Less black than we were painted'? -- Faith, no word of black was said;The lightest touch was human blood, and that, you know, runs red.It's sticking to your fist to-day for all your sneer and scoff,And by the Judge's well-weighed word you cannot wipe it off. Hold up those hands of innocence -- go, scare your sheep together,The blundering, tripping tups that bleat behind the old bell-wether;And if they snuff the taint and break to find another pen,Tell them it's tar that glistens so, and daub them yours again! 'The charge is old'? -- As old as Cain -- as fresh as yesterday;Old as the Ten Commandments -- have ye talked those laws away?If words are words, or death is death, or powder sends the ball,You spoke the words that sped the shot -- the curse be on you all. 'Our friends believe'? -- Of course they do -- as sheltered women may;But have they seen the shrieking soul ripped from the quivering clay?They! -- If their own front door is shut, they'll swear the whole world's warm;What do they know of dread of death or hanging fear of harm? The secret half a county keeps, the whisper in the lane,The shriek that tells the shot went home behind the broken pane,The dry blood crisping in the sun that scares the honest bees,And shows the 'bhoys' have heard your talk -- what do they know of these? But you -- you know -- ay, ten times more; the secrets of the dead,Black terror on the country-side by word and whisper bred,The mangled stallion's scream at night, the tail-cropped heifer's low.Who set the whisper going first? You know, and well you know! My soul! I'd sooner lie in jail for murder plain and straight,Pure crime I'd done with my own hand for money, lust, or hate,Than take a seat in Parliament by fellow-felons cheered,While one of those 'not provens' proved me cleared as you are cleared. Cleared -- you that 'lost' the League accounts -- go, guard our honour still,Go, help to make our country's laws that broke God's law at will --One hand stuck out behind the back, to signal 'strike again';The other on your dress-shirt-front to show your heart is clane.
