And boils as if he were
In a

A right to plead against the lifelong woes

Fear nothing, and hope all things, as the Right
Alone may do securely; every hour
The thrones of Ignorance and ancient Night
Lose somewhat of their long-usurped power,
And Freedom's

With a base dread that clings to them forever.

And they crowned me with flowers, and then to their harps sate playing,
Solemn and clear;
And magical cakes and goblets were spread on the table;
And at window the birds came in;
Hopping along with bright eyes, pecking crumbs from the platters,
And sipped of the wine;
And splashing up--up to the roof tossed
fountains
of crystal;
And Princes in scarlet and green
Shot with their bows and arrows, and kneeled with their dishes
Of fruits for the Queen;
And we walked in a magical garden with rivers and bowers,
And my bed was of ivory and gold;
And the Queen breathed soft in my ear a song of enchantment--
And I never grew old.

THE VILLAIN
While joy gave clouds the light of stars,
That beamed where'er they looked;
And calves and lambs had
tottering
knees,
Excited, while they sucked;
While every bird enjoyed his song,
Without one thought of harm or wrong--
I turned my head and saw the wind,
Not far from where I stood,
Dragging the corn by her golden hair,
Into a dark and lonely wood.

Abercrombie - Georgian Poetry 1920-22 |

Come, white Silence, over the one sea pathway:
Pour with
hallowing
hands on the surge and outcry,
Silver flame; and over the famished blackness,
Petals of moonlight.

War Poetry - 1914-17 |
|
At length the flames, suddenly
increasing
in virulence, forced the
jester to climb higher up the chain, to be out of their reach; and, as
he made this movement, the crowd again sank, for a brief instant, into
silence.

Pardon, oh, pardon, that my soul should make
Of all that strong
divineness
which I know
For thine and thee, an image only so
Formed of the sand, and fit to shift and break.

Sonnets from the Portugese |
|
The shepherds on the lawn
Or ere the point of dawn
Sate simply chatting in a rustic row;
Full little thought they then
That the mighty Pan
Was kindly come to live with them below;
Perhaps their loves, or else their sheep
Was all that did their silly
thoughts
so busy keep.

Tear--
tear us an altar,
tug at the cliff-boulders,
pile them with the rough stones--
we no longer
sleep in the wind,
propitiate
us.

NIGHT
The night has cut
each from each
and curled the petals
back from the stalk
and under it in crisp rows;
under at an
unfaltering
pace,
under till the rinds break,
back till each bent leaf
is parted from its stalk;
under at a grave pace,
under till the leaves
are bent back
till they drop upon earth,
back till they are all broken.

Then a damp gust
Bringing
rain
Ganga was sunken, and the limp leaves
Waited for rain, while the black clouds
Gathered far distant, over Himavant.
