From the fresh battlefield:

Than his own dreadful frown,
When he sees the thick black cloud of smoke
Go up from the

When last the wintry gusts gave over strife
With the conquering sun of spring, and left the skies
Warm and serene, but yet with moistened eyes
In pity of the shatter'd infant buds,--
That time thou didst adorn, with amber studs,
My hunting cap, because I laugh'd and smil'd,
Chatted with thee, and many days exil'd
All torment from my breast;--'twas even then,
Straying about, yet, coop'd up in the den
Of helpless discontent,--hurling my lance 930
From place to place, and
following
at chance,
At last, by hap, through some young trees it struck,
And, plashing among bedded pebbles, stuck
In the middle of a brook,--whose silver ramble
Down twenty little falls, through reeds and bramble,
Tracing along, it brought me to a cave,
Whence it ran brightly forth, and white did lave
The nether sides of mossy stones and rock,--
'Mong which it gurgled blythe adieus, to mock
Its own sweet grief at parting.

And when the words were ended, not unlike
To iron in the furnace, every cirque
Ebullient shot forth scintillating fires:
And every sparkle
shivering
to new blaze,
In number did outmillion the account
Reduplicate upon the chequer'd board.

The
footstep
is lagging and weary;
Yet onward he goes, through the broad belt of light,
Toward the shades of the forest so dreary.

From golden sunset and from ruddy sky;
The sun had stooped to earth though once so high;
Had stooped to earth, in slow
Warm dying
loveliness
brought near and low.

and when my fears would rise,
With thy broad heart serenely interpose:
Brood down with thy divine sufficiencies
These
thoughts
which tremble when bereft of those,
Like callow birds left desert to the skies.

Rust that clings to the form that the

Hard and curled and ready to snap.

That in the
springtime
shoot:
But grim to see is the gallows-tree,
With its adder-bitten root,
And, green or dry, a man must die
Before it bears its fruit!

Nor was I longer to invite him scant,
Happy at once to make him
Protestant
And silent.
