Held in a lunar synthesis,

Beats like a fatalistic drum,
And through the spaces of the dark
Midnight

As a madman shakes a dead geranium.

Lurks for the passing

Till the gay mariner's guitar[57] 40

XXVIII
He who has seen a great oak dry and dead,
Bearing some trophy as an ornament,
Whose roots from earth are almost rent,
Though to the heavens it still lifts its head;
More than half-bowed towards its final bed,
Showing its naked boughs and fibres bent,
While, leafless now, its heavy crown is leant
Support by a gnarled trunk, its sap long bled;
And though at the first strong wind it must fall,
And many young oaks are rooted within call,
Alone among the devout populace is revered:
Who such an oak has seen, let him consider,
That, among cities which have flourished here,
This old
honoured
dust was the most honoured.

An' now, ye chosen Five-and-Forty,
May still your mither's heart support ye,
Then, though a
minister
grow dorty,
An' kick your place,
Ye'll snap your fingers, poor an' hearty,
Before his face.

Wherefore
I love them not whose hands profane
Plant the red flag upon the piled-up street
For no right cause, beneath whose ignorant reign
Arts, Culture, Reverence, Honour, all things fade,
Save Treason and the dagger of her trade,
Or Murder with his silent bloody feet.

Dip, when first shall arise our hills to gladden thy eye-glance,
Down from thine every mast th'ill-omened
vestments
of mourning,
Then let the twisten ropes upheave the whitest of canvas, 235
Wherewith splendid shall gleam the tallest spars of the top-mast, 235b
These seeing sans delay with joy exalting my spirit
Well shall I wot boon Time sets thee returning before me.
