Night and her
stars again!
I am as one who on the brink
Of a dark river stands and sees
The waters flow, the landscape dim
Around him waver, wheel, and swim,
And, ere he plunges, stops to think
Into what
he may sink;
One moment pauses, and no more,
Then madly plunges from the shore!

As we pass the summer stream without danger
That floods in winter, king of all the plain,
Rendering farmers' hopes and shepherds' vain,
In his proud flight, sinking fields in water:
As we see coward creatures at the slaughter
Outrage the dead lion after his brave reign,
Staining their jaws, revealing their disdain,
Daring their enemy bereft of power:
And as the least valiant Greeks at Troy
With brave Hector's corpse were wont to toy,
So those whose heads once used to bow,
When to Roman triumph they were drawn,
On dusty tombs exact their vengeance now,
The
daring the conqueror's scorn.
Three years she grew in sun and shower;
Then Nature said, "A
flower
On earth was never sown;
This child I to myself will take;
She shall be mine, and I will make
A lady of my own.

Your strength uplifts the poor man's horn;
Inspired by you, the soldier's steel,

In all that I have said I am simply concerned with
my own mental attitude towards life as a whole; and I feel that not to be

to, for the sake of my own perfection, and because I am so imperfect.

He who for empire at Pharsalia threw,
Reddening its beauteous plain with civil gore,
As Pompey's corse his conquering soldiers bore,
Wept when the well-known features met his view:
The shepherd youth, who fierce Goliath slew,
Had long rebellious children to deplore,
And bent, in
grief, the brave Saul o'er
His shame and fall when proud Gilboa knew:
But you, whose cheek with pity never paled,
Who still have shields at hand to guard you well
Against Love's bow, which shoots its darts in vain,
Behold me by a thousand deaths assail'd,
And yet no tears of thine compassion tell,
But in those bright eyes anger and disdain.
Like one beloved the scene had lent

There lay far glades and neighbouring lawn,
And through the dark green crowd

Not then this world's wild joys had been
To me one savage hunting scene,
My sole delight the

And frantic hurry of the chase;
To start, pursue, and bring to bay,
Rush in, drag down, and rend my prey,
Then--from the carcase turn away!

light!
