And trailed his yellow-brown slackness soft-bellied down, over the edge
of the stone trough
And rested his throat upon the stone bottom,
And where the water had dripped from the tap, in a small clearness,
He sipped with his
straight

Softly drank through his straight gums, into his slack long body,
Silently.

For so delicious were the words she sung,
It seem'd he had lov'd them a whole summer long:
And soon his eyes had drunk her beauty up,
Leaving no drop in the
bewildering
cup,
And still the cup was full,--while he afraid
Lest she should vanish ere his lip had paid
Due adoration, thus began to adore;
Her soft look growing coy, she saw his chain so sure:
"Leave thee alone!

LXIII
The courier, who so plied his restless heel,
News of Narbonne and of Montpelier bore:
How both had raised the standard of Castile,
All Acquamorta siding with the Moor;
And how Marseilles' disheartened men appeal
To her, who should protect her
straightened
shore;
And how, through him, her citizens demand
Counsel and comfort at their captain's hand.

And all the tribute of my heart returns,
For boons accorded,

The gift still dearer, as the giver, you.

Sonnets from the Portugese |

You, staring at your sword to find it brittle,
Surprised at the
surprise
that was your plan,
Who, shaking and breaking barriers not a little,
Find never more the death-door of Sedan--
Must I for more than carnage call you claimant,
Paying you a penny for each son you slay?

War Poetry - 1914-17 |

Oh father and mother, if buds are nipped,
And
blossoms
blown away;
And if the tender plants are stripped
Of their joy in the springing day,
By sorrow and care's dismay, --
How shall the summer arise in joy,
Or the summer fruits appear?

Lear - Nonsense |

There must have been a warning given once:
No tree, on pain of
withering
and sawfly,
To reach the slimmest of his snaky toes
Into this mounded sward and rumple it;
All trees stand back: taboo is on this soil.
