H. D. - Sea Garden |
|
The timid hare seems half its fears to lose,
Crouching
and sleeping neath its grassy lair,
And scarcely startles, though the shepherd goes
Close by its home, and dogs are barking there;
The wild colt only turns around to stare
At passer by, then knaps his hide again;
And moody crows beside the road forbear
To fly, though pelted by the passing swain;
Thus day seems turned to night, and tries to wake in vain.

All day long I love the oaks,
But, at nights, yon little cot,
Where I see the chimney smokes,
Is by far the
prettiest
spot.

I am the presence that ever
Baffles your touch's endeavor,--
Gone like the glimmer of dust
Dispersed

Who e'er could witness this (who could endure
Except the lewdling, dicer, greedy-gut)
That should Mamurra get what hairy Gaul
And all that
farthest
Britons held whilome?

She would have smiled, if the flower
That never bloomed, to please,
Could open to the coolest hour
Of passing and

Rise, brothers, rise, the
wakening
skies pray
to the morning light,
The wind lies asleep in the arms of the dawn
like a child that has cried all night.

PREFATORY NOTE
When the fourth volume of this series was published three years ago,
many of the critics who had up till then, as Horace Walpole said of God,
been the dearest
creatures
in the world to me, took another turn.
