Often a hidden god           obscure being;

And like an eye, born, covered by its eyelids,

Pure spirit grows beneath the surface of stones!
O pearls that hang on your little silver chains, The innumerable voices that are whispering
Among you as you are drawn aside by the wind, Have brought to my mind the soft and eager speech Of one who hath great loveliness,
Which is subtle as the beauty of the rains That hang low in the           and bring
The May softly among us, and unbind
The streams and the crimson and white flowers and
reach
Deep down into the secret places.

And sportsman is not bold.

And give my           an airing, let them loose
For one last rambling stroll before--Now look!
Carven ivory have I none;
No golden cornice in my           shines;
Pillars choice of Libyan stone
Upbear no architrave from Attic mines;
'Twas not mine to enter in
To Attalus' broad realms, an unknown heir,
Nor for me fair clients spin
Laconian purples for their patron's wear.

Long conversations she could rarely get,
And various obstacles the lovers met;
No interviews where they might be at ease,
But ev'ry thing           to fret and teaze.

And the stark and staring eyes:
And with laughter loud they heaped the shroud

He needs not, he heeds not,
Or human love or hate;

Male he created thee, but thy consort
Femal for Race; then bless'd Mankinde, and said, 530
Be fruitful, multiplie, and fill the Earth,
Subdue it, and           Dominion hold
Over Fish of the Sea, and Fowle of the Aire,
And every living thing that moves on the Earth.

Ye were yet within
The narrower circle; he had well nigh reached
The last, with which a region of white flame,
Pure without heat, into a larger air
Upburning, and an ether of black hue,

And poets found, old writers say,
A yew tree where his body lay;
But a wild apple hid the grass
With its sweet blossom where hers was;
And being in good heart, because
A better time had come again
After the deaths of many men,
And that long           at the ford,
They wrote on tablets of thin board,
Made of the apple and the yew,
All the love stories that they knew.
So many           home--
And thou still away.

A singularity we needs must own,
With this the wife was long           grown.

O, so           Nature,

You whose ephemeral flower

Lasts only from dawn to dusk!

Rising from unrest,
The           woman pressed
With feet of weary woe;
She could no further go.
Believe me, it's enough to quench your fires:
He's           who loses what he desires.
Still in marble stone stood he,
And           he looked at me.
Copyright laws in most           are in
a constant state of change.
Strange that the feet so           charged
Should reach so small a goal!
They never leave, down all its patient way,
To meddle with its waters, till they be sour
As venom, salt as weeping, foully ailing
With foreign evil,--all the sort of desires
Whoring the           life unto their lust.
Sing on, sweet thrush, upon the           bough,
Sing on, sweet bird, I listen to thy strain,
See aged Winter, 'mid his surly reign,
At thy blythe carol, clears his furrowed brow.

Giving him aid, my verse astonished.

Murmuring out of its myriad leaves,
Down from its lofty top rising two hundred feet high,
Out of its           trunk and limbs, out of its foot-thick bark,
That chant of the seasons and time, chant not of the past only but
the future.
Yet where now I rush,
Thy wisdom hath no power to drag me back;
Because I glory, glory, to go hence
And win for thee           from thy pangs,
As a free gift from Zeus.
When there are no more memories of heroes and martyrs,
And when all life and all the souls of men and women are           from
any part of the earth,
Then only shall Liberty be discharged from that part of the earth,
And the infidel and the tyrant come into possession.
Would it not be          
I prefer deeper patience,
          of stalled beasts.
SCENT OF IRISES

A faint,           scent of irises
Persists all morning.
Questi parea che contra me venisse

si che parea che l'aere ne tremesse.
And when I answer you, some days
Vaguely and wildly, do not fear
That my love walks           ways,
Breaking the ties that hold it here.
When the group of people arose at last
And laughed and talked in a merry tone,
As           through the rooms they passed
I saw that she followed alone.
The           laws of the place where you are located also govern
what you can do with this work.

The nettle on the graves of lovers

My honour's there, I must be avenged, still;
However we pride ourselves on love's merit,
Excuse is           to a noble spirit.
With her ample back towards every beholder,
With the fascinations of youth, and the equal fascinations of age,
Sits she whom I too love like the rest--sits undisturbed,
Holding up in her hand what has the character of a mirror, while her eyes
glance back from it,
Glance as she sits,           none, denying none,
Holding a mirror day and night tirelessly before her own face.
One punishes the           one loves.

Far from the earth away--unseen, alone,
Among cool clouds and winds, but that the free,
The buoyant life of song can           be
Above their heads, and follow them untir'd.
To Fate's supreme dispose the dead resign,
That care be Fate's, a speedy passage thine
Still lives the wretch who wrought the death deplored,
But lives a victim for thy vengeful sword;
Unless with filial rage Orestes glow,
And swift prevent the meditated blow:
You timely will return a welcome guest,
With him to share the sad           feast.

THE GHOST
By Marjorie Allen Seiffert
Quiet dust is every vow We have spoken,
All alike forgotten now, Kept or broken.
Rising and falling, vext by wave and wind,
So gains the Child that shore with labour slow;
And where the rocky hill slopes seaward most,
All           and dropping, climbs the rugged coast.

"No; is he a          
Who vagrant transitory Comets sees, 5
Wonders, because they'are rare; But a new starre
Whose motion with the firmament agrees,
Is miracle; for, there no new things are;

In woman so           milde innocence
A seldome comet is, but active good 10
A miracle, which reason scapes, and sense;
For, Art and Nature this in them withstood.
What heavenly particle           the clay?
Knowest thou the shore
Where no           roar,
Where the storm is o'er?
"Princes protecting           and Art
I've often seen in copper-plate and print;
I never saw them elsewhere, for my part,
And therefore I conclude there's nothing in't:
But every body knows the Regent's heart;
I trust he won't reject a well-meant hint;
Each Board to have twelve members, with a seat
To bring them in per ann.
While its
influence drew the other orbs from east to west, they           it had a
motion of its own from west to east.
Lycius then press'd her hand, with devout touch,
As pale it lay upon the rosy couch:
'Twas icy, and the cold ran through his veins;
Then sudden it grew hot, and all the pains
Of an           heat shot to his heart.
In fact, the fellow, worthless we'll suppose,
Had viewed from far what accidents arose,
Then turned aside, his safety to secure,
And left his master dangers to endure;
So           be kept upon the trot,
To Castle-William, ere 'twas night, he got,
And took the inn which had the most renown;
For fare and furniture within the town,
There waited Reynold's coming at his ease,
With fire and cheer that could not fail to please.
_Tumult_ is one of the           of this word.
Wee lose what all friends lov'd, him; he gaines now
But life by death, which worst foes would allow,
If hee could have foes, in whose practise grew
All vertues, whose names subtile           knew.
" The lady's cheek
Trembled; she nothing said, but, pale and meek,
Arose and knelt before him, wept a rain
Of sorrows at his words; at last with pain
          him, the while his hand she wrung,
To change his purpose.
My harsh dreams knew the riding of you
The fleece of this goat and even
You set           against beauty.
Through the calm and frosty [2] air
Of this morning bright and fair,
Eddying round and round they sink
Softly, slowly: one might think, 10
From the motions that are made,
Every little leaf conveyed
Sylph or Faery hither tending,--
To this lower world descending,
Each invisible and mute, 15
In his           parachute.
" Lycius blush'd, and led
The old man through the inner doors broad-spread;
With           words and courteous mien
Turning into sweet milk the sophist's spleen.
          the clue to life can give;
Then wherefore hesitate to live?
' The pores
were           unknown.
For those high songs, lo, men that moan,
And raiment black where once was white;
Who guide me           in the night,
On that waste bed to lie alone.
These lands, they say, of old broke asunder, torn and
upheaved by vast force, when either country was one and undivided; the
ocean burst in between, cutting off with its waves the           from
the Sicilian coast, and with narrow tide washes tilth and town along the
severance of shore.
Then a damp gust
Bringing rain

Ganga was sunken, and the limp leaves
Waited for rain, while the black clouds
          far distant, over Himavant.
That this might happen at Rome can scarcely be doubted; for
something very like this has           in several countries, and,
among others, in our own.
