Thoughts
When I am all alone
Envy me most,
Then my thoughts flutter round me
In a glimmering host;
Some dressed in silver,
Some dressed in white,
Each like a taper
Blossoming
light;
Most of them merry,
Some of them grave,
Each of them lithe
As willows that wave;
Some bearing violets,
Some bearing bay,
One with a burning rose
Hidden away--
When I am all alone
Envy me then,
For I have better friends
Than women and men.

Died in sleep, and felt no pain,
To live in happier form again:
From which, beneath Heaven's fairest star,
The artist wrought this loved Guitar;
And taught it justly to reply
To all who
question
skilfully
In language gentle as thine own;
Whispering in enamour'd tone
Sweet oracles of woods and dells,
And summer winds in sylvan cells;
--For it had learnt all harmonies
Of the plains and of the skies,
Of the forests and the mountains,
And the many-voiced fountains;
The clearest echoes of the hills,
The softest notes of falling rills,
The melodies of birds and bees,
The murmuring of summer seas,
And pattering rain, and breathing dew,
And airs of evening; and it knew
That seldom-heard mysterious sound
Which, driven on its diurnal round,
As it floats through boundless day,
Our world enkindles on its way:
--All this it knows, but will not tell
To those who cannot question well
The spirit that inhabits it;
It talks according to the wit
Of its companions; and no more
Is heard than has been felt before
By those who tempt it to betray
These secrets of an elder day:
But, sweetly as its answers will
Flatter hands of perfect skill,
It keeps its highest holiest tone
For one beloved Friend alone.

Though trampled, spoiled, and torn,
And in your faith arose
And smote, and smote again,

Untaught by force to quail,

Boasted of a matchless skill,--
When the great god's back was turned;
How his fond imagining 5
Fell to ashes cold and grey,
When the
flawless
player came
In serenity and light.

Now, sir, if ye hae friends enow,
Tho' real friends, I b'lieve, are few;
Yet, if your
catalogue
be fu',
I'se no insist:
But, gif ye want ae friend that's true,
I'm on your list.

Petrarch |

Now know I how the mind itself doth part
(Now making peace, now war, now truce)--what art
Poor lovers use to hide their stinging woe:
And how their blood now comes, and now doth go
Betwixt their heart and cheeks, by shame or fear:
How they be eloquent, yet speechless are;
And how they both ways lean, they watch and sleep,
Languish
to death, yet life and vigour keep:
I trod the paths made happy by her feet,
And search the foe I am afraid to meet.

They only, each by each;
Home, her home, was close at hand,
Utterly out of reach.
