XLVI
Bring, in this timeless grave to throw,
No cypress, sombre on the snow;
Snap not from the bitter yew
His leaves that live
December
through;
Break no rosemary, bright with rime
And sparkling to the cruel clime;
Nor plod the winter land to look
For willows in the icy brook
To cast them leafless round him: bring
No spray that ever buds in spring.

We Have Created the Night
We have created the night I hold your hand I watch
I sustain you with all my powers
I engrave in rock the star of your powers
Deep furrows where your body's goodness fruits
I recall your hidden voice your public voice
I smile still at the proud woman
You treat like a beggar
The madness you respect the
simplicity
you bathe in
And in my head which gently blends with yours with the night
I wonder at the stranger you become
A stranger resembling you resembling everything I love
One that is always new.

Two butterflies went out at noon
And waltzed above a stream,

And rested on a beam;

Upon a shining sea, --
Though never yet, in any port,

Dost in those lines their artless tale relate;
If chance, by lonely
Contemplation
led,
Some kindred spirit shall inquire thy fate,--
Haply some hoary-headed swain may say,
Oft have we seen him at the peep of dawn,
Brushing with hasty steps the dews away,
To meet the sun upon the upland lawn;
There, at the foot of yonder nodding beech
That wreathes its old fantastic roots so high,
His listless length at noon-tide would he stretch,
And pore upon the brook that babbles by.

Round the sweet smelling closen and rich woods
Where tawny white and red flush clover buds
Shine bonnily and bean fields blossom ripe,
Shed dainty perfumes and give honey food

Upon the plain, be seen by those who stood _2540
Thence marking the dark shore of Ocean's curved flood.

You've stolen away that great power
My beauty ordained for me
Over priests and clerks, my hour,
When never a man I'd see
Would fail to offer his all in fee,
Whatever remorse he'd later show,
But what was
abandoned
readily,
Beggars now scorn to know.

There's nothing grander up in heaven,
Than when
caressingly
she stands
(The cold hearts wakening 'gain their beat),
And holds within her holy hands
The little children's naked feet.

To seek its fated

Can we believe--by an effort
comfort our hearts:
it is not waste all this,
not placed here in disgust,
street after street,

no grace to lighten
