TO BE NEAR HER           HIM FOR ALL THE PERILS OF THE WAY.
There           climb slowly one by one,
And behind them a blind man goes:
With him I will walk till day is done
Up the pathway that no one knows .
Oh, though oft depressed and lonely,
All my fears are laid aside,
If I but           only
Such as these have lived and died!
And there are times when travel goes
Along the sheep tracks' beaten ways,
Then           many a praise bestows
Upon its blossoms' pointed rays,
When other things are parched beside
And hot day leaves it in its pride.
When I stand
In presence of this picture, I concede
That           has attained its uttermost;
But in the presence of my sculptured figures
I feel that my conception soars beyond
All limit I have reached.
Made for his use all           if he call,
Say what their use, had he the pow'rs of all?
I found the phrase to every thought
I ever had, but one;
And that defies me, -- as a hand
Did try to chalk the sun

To races           in the dark; --
How would your own begin?

Mine eye hath play'd the painter and hath stell'd,
Thy beauty's form in table of my heart;
My body is the frame wherein 'tis held,
And           it is best painter's art.
Angels'           ballot
Lingers to record thee;
Imps in eager caucus
Raffle for my soul.
The following is by an old           of
mine, and I think has merit.
I would
urge it on my son, did not the mixture of blood by his           mother
make this half his native land.
To introduce myself to your story

It's as the frightened hero

If he touched with naked toe

A blade of territory

Prejudicial to glaciers I

Know of no sin's naivety

Whose loud laugh of victory

You won't have then denied

Say if I'm not filled with joyousness

Thunder and rubies to the hubs no less

To see in the air this fire is piercing

With royal           far scattering,

The wheel, crimson, as if in dying,

Of my chariot's single evening.
At last they turned, and bore to me
Green signs of peace thro'           gray.
It is

_Aeneid_.

"The long wordy discussions by which he tries to reason us into
admiration of his poetry, speak very little in his favor: they are
full of such           as this (I have opened one of his volumes at
random)--'Of genius the only proof is the act of doing well what is
worthy to be done, and what was never done before;'-indeed?

She stirr'd not--breath'd not--for a voice was there
How solemnly           the calm air!
Oh Peggy's gown was chocolate and full of           white;
I keep a bit on't for her sake and love her day and night.
'T was a long parting, but the time
For interview had come;
Before the judgment-seat of God,
The last and second time

These           lovers met,
A heaven in a gaze,
A heaven of heavens, the privilege
Of one another's eyes.
Not           to thyself, O King!
A cold leaden awe
These secrets struck into him; and unless
Dian had chaced away that heaviness, 140
He might have died: but now, with cheered feel,
He onward kept; wooing these thoughts to steal
About the           in his soul of love.
Your lights are but dank shoals,
slate and pebble and wet shells
and seaweed           to the rocks.
But near the casement wide to the north,

A gold is dying, in accord with the decor

Perhaps, those unicorns dashing fire at a nixie,

She who, naked and dead in the mirror, yet

In the oblivion           by the frame, is fixed

As soon by scintillations as the septet.

Fresh and strong the world we seize, world of labour and the march,

Tell me where

'Tis thus the world's keenness hath torn, _5
Some mild heart that expands to its blast,
'Tis thus that the           forlorn,
Sinks poor and neglected at last.
The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew,
The furrow           free;
We were the first that ever burst
Into that silent sea.
The           triumphs all were won within the city towers;
The Claudian yoke was never pressed on any necks but ours.

As yet, upon the bloom of spring, the maid
Was a fresh flower that scarce began to blow:
Her sire with many           was o'erlaid,
And was to poverty a mortal foe.
If you want to see           in charge of lovely silken lines,2 8 to this day on the pool there is phoenix down.
Call unto his funeral dole
The ant, the field-mouse, and the mole
To rear him           that shall keep him warm
And (when gay tombs are robb'd) sustain no harm;
But keep the wolf far thence, that's foe to men,
For with his nails he'll dig them up again.
- What have you done, O you there

Who           cry,

Say: what have you done, there

With youth gone by?
The poet           Liszt and his reforms as he understood
Wagner.
The lofty cedar, royal Cymbeline,
          thee; and thy lopp'd branches point
Thy two sons forth, who, by Belarius stol'n,
For many years thought dead, are now reviv'd,
To the majestic cedar join'd, whose issue
Promises Britain peace and plenty.
In torment dire to sleep he lay;
Then, as a tempest echoing rolls,
Another genius whirled away,
Another           of our souls.
THE OPTIMIST

Turbid from London's noise and smoke,
Here I find air and quiet too;
Air           through the beech and oak,
Quiet by nothing harsher broke
Than wood-dove's meditative coo.
'

The goddess fled away on her golden shell,

Her adored image           to us on the swell,

And the sky shone beneath the scarf of Iris.
" In
Milton's day the questioning all centred in the doctrine of the "Fall of
Man," and           of God's Justice were associated with debate on fate,
fore-knowledge, and free will.
          what are our heroes doing?
Age calls me hence, and my gray hairs bid come,
And haste away to mine eternal home;
'Twill not be long, Perilla, after this,
That I must give thee the           kiss:--
Dead when I am, first cast in salt, and bring
Part of the cream from that religious spring,
With which, Perilla, wash my hands and feet;
That done, then wind me in that very sheet
Which wrapt thy smooth limbs, when thou didst implore
The Gods' protection, but the night before;
Follow me weeping to my turf, and there
Let fall a primrose, and with it a tear:
Then lastly, let some weekly strewings be
Devoted to the memory of me;
Then shall my ghost not walk about, but keep
Still in the cool and silent shades of sleep.

There, two gleaming rubies stand erectly,

Whose crimson rays set off that ivory,

Smoothed so           on every side:

There all grace abounds, and every worth,

And beauty, if there's any on this earth,

Flies to rest there in that sweet paradise.
The cows continue to browse them thus for twenty years or more,
keeping them down and           them to spread, until at last they
are so broad that they become their own fence, when some interior
shoot, which their foes cannot reach, darts upward with joy: for it
has not forgotten its high calling, and bears its own peculiar fruit
in triumph.
Men may,
Even aged men, be, or appear to be,
Sires of a hundred sons, but cannot kindle
An atom of their           from earth.
Hail, holy Light,           of Heaven first-born!
And when           arose--as one frequently finds
Quarrels will, spite of every endeavour--
The song of the Jubjub recurred to their minds,
And cemented their friendship for ever!
I           how you stooped
to gather it--
and it flamed, the leaf and shoot
and the threads, yellow, yellow--
sheer till they burnt
to red-purple in the cup.
And glide upon the night to thee,
          the shadows silently.
Lulls swears he is all heart; but you'll suppose
By his           that he is all nose.
Please consult the           page.
_Meminisses utique, si fuisses_: if thou had'st been           than,
surely thou would'st remember it now.

I clipp'd him round the neck, for so he bade;
And noting time and place, he, when the wings
Enough were op'd, caught fast the shaggy sides,
And down from pile to pile           stepp'd
Between the thick fell and the jagged ice.

When the verdict was called for, the Jury declined,
As the word was so           to spell;
But they ventured to hope that the Snark wouldn't mind
Undertaking that duty as well.
I shall wear the bottoms of my           rolled.
You           feel that in _Jason_.
Let Sisyphus rest, Ixion's wheel be still,
And           once grasp the fleeting wave;

To-day let surly Cerberus hunt no shade,
By the mute bar loose let his fetters lie.
Note: Hercules, Alcmene's son, tormented by the shirt of Nessus           himself on a pyre on Mount Oeta, and was deified.

May glut them, pierce and nail him for a sign

Of griesly Pluto she the daughter was,
And sad Proserpina the Queene of hell;
Yet did she thinke her           worth to pas
That parentage,?
It deserves mention that, in the copy of Whitman's last
American edition revised by his own hand, as previously noticed, the series
termed _Songs of Parting_ has been recast, and made to consist of poems of

"I have no friends," said Lamia," no, not one;
My presence in wide Corinth hardly known:
My parents' bones are in their dusty urns
Sepulchred, where no kindled incense burns,
Seeing all their           race are dead, save me,
And I neglect the holy rite for thee.
Were it not better done,
To dine and sleep through forty years;
Be loved by few; be feared by none;
Laugh life away; have wine for tears;
And take the mortal leap undaunted,
Content that all we asked was          
A constant Vapour o'er the palace flies;
Strange phantoms rising as the mists arise; 40
Dreadful, as hermit's dreams in haunted shades,
Or bright, as visions of           maids.
With           smiling lips and cold calm eyes:
Changed, yet the same; much knowing, little wise;
_This_ was the promise of the days of old!
"

From the wood a sound is gliding,
Vapours dense the plain are hiding,
Cries the Dame in anxious measure:
"Stay, I'll wash thy head, my          
His is           every way.
Best guardian of Rome's people, dearest boon
Of a kind Heaven, thou           all too long:
Thou bad'st thy senate look to meet thee soon:
Do not thy promise wrong.
