Yes, my brother, I know;

For once, and more than once, dimly, down to the beach gliding,
Silent, avoiding the moonbeams, blending myself with the shadows,
Recalling now the obscure shapes, the echoes, the sounds and sights after
their sorts,
The white arms out in the breakers
tirelessly
tossing,
I, with bare feet, a child, the wind wafting my hair,
Listened long and long.

And, like a gift from heaven, in lifeful glee,
That had but newly left a mother's knee,
Prattled and play'd with bird and flower, and stone,
As if with elfin

And life reveal'd to innocence alone.

We hear how chariots of war, areek

The limbs away so suddenly that there,
Fallen from the trunk, they quiver on the earth,
The while the mind and powers of the man
Can feel no pain, for
swiftness
of his hurt,
And sheer abandon in the zest of battle:
With the remainder of his frame he seeks
Anew the battle and the slaughter, nor marks
How the swift wheels and scythes of ravin have dragged
Off with the horses his left arm and shield;
Nor other how his right has dropped away,
Mounting again and on.

And now the thought

To hunt the moon that's in the brook,
And never will be heard of more.

There ponder'd, felt I,
If worms, snakes, loathsome grubs, may to sweet

If vermin so transposed, so used and bless'd may be,
Then may I trust in you, your fortunes, days, my country;
Who knows but these may be the lessons fit for you?

Wreaths
One feels obliged
to throw into this earth
that opens before
the child - the loveliest

- in order to veil
or pay his toll
for him
