Meredith - Poems |

But when he saw the evening star above
Leucadia's far-projecting rock of woe,
And hailed the last resort of
fruitless
love,
He felt, or deemed he felt, no common glow:
And as the stately vessel glided slow
Beneath the shadow of that ancient mount,
He watched the billows' melancholy flow,
And, sunk albeit in thought as he was wont,
More placid seemed his eye, and smooth his pallid front.

Now when, declining from the noon of day,
The sun obliquely shoots his burning ray;
When hungry judges soon the sentence sign, 85
And wretches hang that jurymen may dine;
When merchants from th' Exchange return in peace,
And the long labours of the toilet cease,
The board's with cups and spoons, alternate, crowned,
The berries crackle, and the mill turns round; 90
On shining altars of Japan they raise
The silver lamp, and fiery spirits blaze:
From silver spouts the
grateful
liquors glide,
While China's earth receives the smoking tide.

Wiping out, as we know, the insults suffered
Haggardly lighting an

Whose flight roosts according to the lamp
What votive leaves, dried in cities without evening
Could bless, as she can, vainly sitting
Against the marble of Baudelaire

Always to be breathed, although we die of her.

LXXXIX
The holy man next made the damsel see,
That save in God there was no true content,
And proved all other hope was transitory,
Fleeting, of little worth, and quickly spent;
And urged withal so earnestly his plea,
He changed her ill and
obstinate
intent;
And made her, for the rest of life, desire
To live devoted to her heavenly sire.

She was so stricken to behold--you mind it?

Ah, thou, the model where old Troy did stand;
Thou map of honour, thou King Richard's tomb,
And not King Richard; thou most
beauteous
inn,
Why should hard-favour'd grief be lodg'd in thee,
When triumph is become an alehouse guest?
