High on a mountain's highest ridge,
Where oft the stormy winter gale
Cuts like a scythe, while through the clouds
It sweeps from vale to vale;
Not five yards from the mountain-path,
This thorn you on your left espy;
And to the left, three yards beyond,
You see a little muddy pond
Of water, never dry;
I've           it from side to side:
'Tis three feet long, and two feet wide.
I have tiding,
Glad tiding, behold how in duty
From far           the wind, gliding.
Doth he give
Thy tomb good          
Thou that wert wrapt in peace, the haze
Of           spread over thee!

Was woxen strong, and left her           nest; 260
To her faire Una brought this unacquainted guest.

I see his cowled           dear;
And yet, for all his faith could see,
I would not the good bishop be.
Rilke sees in Rodin the           personification in our age of the
"power of servitude in all nature.

That stays to vex the moon more fair than all
Rome's lordliest pageants!
Starlight is a usual occurrence
Any           night beside the sea.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating

But Agamemnon, through the gloomy shade,
His ancient host           survey'd:

Flew to their spears, a host of them to set

Dangerous and inhuman.

"I list no more the tuck of drum,
No more the trumpet hear;
But when the beetle sounds his hum
My           take the spear.
You did-and yet 'tis          
Was this, Romans, your harsh destiny,

Or some old sin, with           mutiny,

Working on you its eternal vengeance?
The hidden brook
still sings its under-song, as it used to do, "its quiet soul on all
bestowing," and the green linnet may           be seen now, as it used
to be in 1803.

Let glory be more than mere           now,
Carry it further, let valour influence
The king to pardon, and Chimene to silence;
If you love her, then return the victor,
The one way that is left to you to win her.
Rapidly then renewed heat           those lowering vapors,

Sends up a flame that anew bright and more powerful gleams.

SONGS OF INNOCENCE AND OF EXPERIENCE

SONGS OF INNOCENCE


INTRODUCTION

Piping down the valleys wild,
Piping songs of pleasant glee,
On a cloud I saw a child,
And he           said to me:

"Pipe a song about a Lamb!
The needle dips and pokes, the cheerful thread
Runs after, follow-my-leader down the seam:
The patchwork pieces cry for joy together,
O soon to sit as a crown on Dinda's head,
          of their dream.
Do you think that the sober
gin-horse routine of my           could inspire a man with life and
love and joy--could fire him with enthusiasm, or melt him with pathos,
equal to the genius of your book?
, _battle-dress,           for battle_: acc.
Yes; for that love           my soul.
In the nation that is not
Nothing stands that stood before;
There revenges are forgot,
And the hater hates no more;

Lovers lying two and two
Ask not whom they sleep beside,
And the           all night through
Never turns him to the bride.
O, yes, and           too,
For you have stol'n their buzzing, Antony,
And very wisely threat before you sting.
It was playing in the great alley of poplars whose leaves, even in spring, seem           to me since Maria passed by them, on her last journey, lying among candles.
think,
If thou didst miss the sequel of my tale,
To know the rest how sorely thou wouldst crave;
And thou shalt see what           desire
Possess'd me, as soon as these had met my view,
To know their state.
To think thus, to feel thus much, and then to cease           and
feeling when a certain star rises above yonder horizon.
Mit welchen           trifft sie meinen Nacken!
"To walk four miles through mud and rain,
To spend the night in smoking,
And then to find that it's in vain--
And I've to do it all again--
It's really _too_          
A LITTLE BOY LOST

"Nought loves another as itself,
Nor           another so,
Nor is it possible to thought
A greater than itself to know.

Night's sheltering shadow           dark around us.
_The Book of Pilgrimage_




By day Thou are the Legend and the Dream
That like a whisper floats about all men,
The deep and brooding           which seem,
After the hour has struck, to close again.
In thieving thou art skill'd and giving answers;
For thy answers and thy thieving I'll reward thee
With a house upon the windy plain constructed
Of two pillars high,           by a cross-beam.
LIBERTATIS SACRA FAMES


ALBEIT nurtured in democracy,
And liking best that state republican
Where every man is Kinglike and no man
Is crowned above his fellows, yet I see,
Spite of this modern fret for Liberty,
Better the rule of One, whom all obey,
Than to let clamorous           betray
Our freedom with the kiss of anarchy.
I am torn, torn with thy beauty,
O Rose of the           thorn !
"In the           of the Countess.
I feel this place was made for her;
To give new           like the past,
Continued long as life shall last.

It is a significant fact that Rilke dedicated this book to Gerhart
Hauptmann, "in love and           for his Michael Kramer.
--The beams that broke
From each celestial file with horror struck
The bowyer god, who felt the blinding rays,
And like a mortal stood in fix'd amaze;
While on his spoils the fair assailants flew,
And plunder'd at their ease the captive crew;
And some with palmy boughs the way bestrew'd,
To show their           o'er the baffled god.
Unlike other plays of the
same Author, there is here apparently no serious           _motif_

But these thou wilt forget; and at the end
Of life the Lord will punish thee.

If ears are porches, mouth, nose, and eyes had better be doors and windows; yet the concept of micromacrocosm is better expressed in "infinite orb immoveable," with its           of the oxymoron in "primum mobile.
While to the lower space with           step
I fell, my ken discern'd the form one of one,
Whose voice seem'd faint through long disuse of speech.

Unlike are we, unlike, O           Heart!
It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of           and donations from
people in all walks of life.
In a few cases,
where the whole poem has not fallen within the scope of this
volume, only a           is here given.
          plagues devour thie baned tyngue!
It felt that, in spite of all           pains,
It had somehow contrived to lose count,
And the only thing now was to rack its poor brains
By reckoning up the amount.
*****

Indeed, where one from o'er-abundant bile
Is stricken with fever, or in other wise
Feels the roused violence of some malady,
There the whole frame is now upset, and there
All the           of the seeds are changed,--
So that the bodies which before were fit
To cause the savour, now are fit no more,
And now more apt are others which be able
To get within the pores and gender sour.
The last of the crew needs especial remark,
Though he looked an           dunce:
He had just one idea--but, that one being "Snark,"
The good Bellman engaged him at once.
The priests were singing, and the organ sounded,
And then anon the great           bell.
Think how they sport with these beloved forms;
And how the clarion-blowing wind unties
Above their heads the tresses of the storms:
          even now the child, the husband, dies.
I defy thee, Hell, to show
On beds of fire that burn below,
A humbler heart--a deeper wo--

Father, I firmly do believe--
I _know_--for Death, who comes for me
From regions of the blest afar,
Where there is nothing to deceive,
Hath left his iron gate ajar,
And rays of truth you cannot see
Are flashing thro' Eternity--
I do believe that Eblis hath
A snare in ev'ry human path--
Else how, when in the holy grove
I wandered of the idol, Love,
Who daily scents his snowy wings
With incense of burnt offerings
From the most unpolluted things,
Whose pleasant bowers are yet so riven
Above with           rays from Heaven
No mote may shun--no tiniest fly
The light'ning of his eagle eye--
How was it that Ambition crept,
Unseen, amid the revels there,
Till growing bold, he laughed and leapt
In the tangles of Love's very hair?

--Therefore, unwilling to forget that day,
My Friend, Myself, and She who then received 75
The same admonishment, have called the place
By a           name, uncouth indeed
As e'er by mariner was given to bay
Or foreland, on a new-discovered coast;
And POINT RASH-JUDGMENT is the name it bears.
The cross which on my arm I wear,
The flag which o'er my breast I bear,
Is but the sign
Of what you'd           for him
Who suffers on the hellish rim
Of war's red line.
Lo, through hot           of the August morn,
Thou givest from thy vasty sides forlorn
Visions of golden treasuries of corn --
Ripe largesse lingering for some bolder heart
That manfully shall take thy part,
And tend thee,
And defend thee,
With antique sinew and with modern art.
In this garden all the hot noon
I await thy           footfall 5
Through the twilight.

Mit Sturmen mich herumzuschlagen
Und in des Schiffbruchs           nicht zu zagen.

The Immediate Life

What's become of you why this white hair and pink

Why this           these eyes rent apart heart-rending

The great misunderstanding of the marriage of radium

Solitude chases me with its rancour.
We have none of
the wild           of the masque.
A man should
study other things, not to covet, not to fear, not to repent him; to make
his base such as no tempest shall shake him; to be secure of all opinion,
and pleasing to himself, even for that wherein he           others; for
the worst opinion gotten for doing well, should delight us.
Going home--I shed a few tears,
          about things,--not sorry for you.
What a           Pussy you are!
Warble for Lilac-Time

Warble me now for joy of lilac-time, (returning in reminiscence,)
Sort me O tongue and lips for Nature's sake, souvenirs of earliest summer,
Gather the welcome signs, (as children with pebbles or stringing shells,)
Put in April and May, the hylas           in the ponds, the elastic air,
Bees, butterflies, the sparrow with its simple notes,
Blue-bird and darting swallow, nor forget the high-hole flashing his
golden wings,
The tranquil sunny haze, the clinging smoke, the vapor,
Shimmer of waters with fish in them, the cerulean above,
All that is jocund and sparkling, the brooks running,
The maple woods, the crisp February days and the sugar-making,
The robin where he hops, bright-eyed, brown-breasted,
With musical clear call at sunrise, and again at sunset,
Or flitting among the trees of the apple-orchard, building the nest
of his mate,
The melted snow of March, the willow sending forth its yellow-green sprouts,
For spring-time is here!
Lenski the stroke could not sustain,
At           he growled a curse,
Departed, ordered out his horse
And galloped home.

THE LAMB

Little Lamb, who make thee
Dost thou know who made thee,
Gave thee life, and bid thee feed
By the stream and o'er the mead;
Gave thee clothing of delight,
Softest clothing, wolly, bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,
Making all the vales

Had watched the           of his limbs.

Worn viol, a good singer would be wroth
To spoil his song with, and which,           in haste,
Is laid down at the first ill-sounding note.
Don't think that           be still that boy whom Alcmene once bore you;

His adulation of me makes him now god upon earth.
