WHAT THE THUNDER SAID
After the torchlight red on sweaty faces
After the frosty silence in the gardens
After the agony in stony places
The shouting and the crying
Prison and palace and reverberation
Of thunder of spring over distant mountains
He who was living is now dead
We who were living are now dying
With a little patience 330
Here is no water but only rock
Rock and no water and the sandy road
The road winding above among the mountains
Which are mountains of rock without water
If there were water we should stop and drink
Amongst the rock one cannot stop or think
Sweat is dry and feet are in the sand
If there were only water amongst the rock
Dead mountain mouth of carious teeth that cannot spit
Here one can neither stand nor lie nor sit 340
There is not even silence in the mountains
But dry sterile thunder without rain
There is not even solitude in the mountains
But red sullen faces sneer and snarl
From doors of
mudcracked
houses
If there were water
And no rock
If there were rock
And also water
And water 350
A spring
A pool among the rock
If there were the sound of water only
Not the cicada
And dry grass singing
But sound of water over a rock
Where the hermit-thrush sings in the pine trees
Drip drop drip drop drop drop drop
But there is no water
Who is the third who walks always beside you?

Around whose modesty a hundred arms,
Aided by pride, protect a

WIVES' LAMENT
(_November_ 2, 1899)
I
O IT was sad enough, weak enough, mad enough--
Light in their loving as soldiers can be--
First to risk
choosing
them, leave alone losing them
Now, in far battle, beyond the South Sea!

One of the ones that Midas touched,
Who failed to touch us all,
Was that
confiding
prodigal,
The blissful oriole.

You've not
surprised
my secret yet
Already the cortege moves on
But left to us is the regret
of there being no connivance none
The rose floats at the water's edge
The maskers have passed by in crowds
It trembles in me like a bell
This heavy secret you ask now
?

Adam, thou know'st Heav'n his, and all the Earth
Not this Rock onely; his Omnipresence fills
Land, Sea, and Aire, and every kinde that lives,
Fomented by his virtual power and warmd:
All th' Earth he gave thee to possess and rule,
No despicable gift; surmise not then 340
His presence to these narrow bounds confin'd
Of
Paradise
or Eden: this had been
Perhaps thy Capital Seate, from whence had spred
All generations, and had hither come
From all the ends of th' Earth, to celebrate
And reverence thee thir great Progenitor.

Me thought I heard a voyce cry, Sleep no more:
Macbeth does murther Sleepe, the
innocent
Sleepe,
Sleepe that knits vp the rauel'd Sleeue of Care,
The death of each dayes Life, sore Labors Bath,
Balme of hurt Mindes, great Natures second Course,
Chiefe nourisher in Life's Feast
Lady.
