what I saw�察�Before me there�察�was man or ghost。 

     He may have died so many times That all there was of him to see Was 

pride�察�that kept itself alive As too rebellious to be free�察�He may have told�察�

when   more   than   once   Humility   seemed   imminent�察  �How   many   a   lonely 

time in vain The Second Coming came and went。 

     Whether      he  still  defies   or  not  The    failure  of   an  angry    task  That 

relegates him out of time To chaos�察�I can only ask。 But as I knew him�察�so 

he   was�察�And   somewhere   among   men   to´day  Those   old�察  �unyielding   eyes 

may flash�察�And flinch  and look the other way。

    As often as we thought of her�察�We thought of a gray life That made a 

quaint economist Of a wolf´haunted wife�察�We made the best of all she bore 

That was not ours to bear�察�And honored her for wearing things That were 

not things to wear。 

     There was a distance in her look That made us look again�察�And if she 

smiled�察  �we   might   believe   That   we   had   looked   in   vain。   Rarely  she   came 

inside our doors�察�And had not long to stay�察�And when she left�察�it seemed 

somehow That she was far away。 

    At last�察�when we had all forgot That all is here to change�察�A shadow on 

the   commonplace   Was   for   a   moment   strange。 Yet   there   was   nothing   for 

surprise�察�Nor much that need be told�此�Love�察�with his gift of pain�察�had given 

More than one heart could hold。

                                   The Mill 



    The miller's wife had waited long�察�The tea was cold�察�the fire was dead�察�

And there might yet be nothing wrong In how he went and what he said�此�

;There are no millers any more�察─�Was all that she had heard him say�察�And 

he had lingered at the door So long that it seemed yesterday。 

     Sick with a fear that had no form She knew that she was there at last�察�

And in the mill there was a warm And mealy fragrance of the past。 What 

else   there   was   would   only   seem  To   say   again   what   he   had   meant�察�And 

what was hanging from a beam Would not have heeded where she went。 

    And if she thought it followed her�察�She may have reasoned in the dark 

That one way of the few there were Would hide her and would leave no 

mark�此�Black water�察�smooth above the weir Like starry velvet in the night�察�

Though ruffled once�察�would soon appear The same as ever to the sight。

                             The Dark Hills 



    Dark hills at evening in the west�察�Where sunset hovers like a sound Of 

golden   horns   that   sang   to   rest   Old   bones   of   warriors   under   ground�察  �Far 

now from all the bannered ways Where flash the legions of the sun�察�You 

fade  as if the last of days Were fading�察�and all wars were done。

                         The Three Taverns 



       When the brethren heard of us�察�they came to meet us as far as Appii 

Forum�察�and The Three Taverns。 ��Acts 28��15�� 



     Herodion�察�Apelles�察�Amplias�察�And Andronicus�拭�Is it you I see  At last�拭�

And is it you now that are gazing As if in doubt of me�拭�Was I not saying 

That I should come to Rome�拭�I did say that�察�And I said furthermore that I 

should   go   On     westward�察  �where   the   gateway   of   the   world   Lets   in   the 

central sea。 I did say that�察�But I say only�察�now�察�that I am Paul  A prisoner 

of the Law�察�and of the Lord A voice made free。 If there be time enough To 

live�察 �I   may  have   more   to   tell   you then   Of   western   matters。  I   go   now  to 

Rome�察�Where   Caesar   waits   for   me�察  �and   I   shall   wait�察�And   Caesar   knows 

how   long。   In   Caesarea There   was   a   legend   of Agrippa   saying   In   a   light 

way   to   Festus�察  �having   heard   My   deposition�察  �that   I   might   be   free�察  �Had   I 

stayed free of Caesar�察�but the word Of God would have it as you see it is  

And here I am。 The cup that I shall drink Is mine to drink  the moment or 

the place Not mine to say。 If it be now in Rome�察�Be it now in Rome�察�and if 

your faith exceed The shadow cast of hope�察�say not of me Too surely or 

too soon that years and shipwreck�察�And all the many deserts I have crossed 

That are not named or regioned�察�have undone Beyond the brevities of our 

mortal healing The part of me that is the least of me。 You see an older man 

than he who fell Prone to the earth when he was nigh Damascus�察�Where 

the great light came down�察�yet I am he That fell�察�and he that saw�察�and he 

that   heard。 And   I   am   here�察  �at   last�察  �and   if   at   last   I   give   myself   to   make 

another crumb For this pernicious feast of time and men  Well�察�I have 

seen too much of time and men To fear the ravening or the wrath of either。 

     Yes�察�it is Paul you see  the Saul of Tarsus That was a fiery Jew�察�and 

had    men    slain   For   saying    Something      was   beyond     the   Law�察  �And    in 

ourselves。 I fed my suffering soul Upon the Law till I went famishing�察�Not 

knowing that I starved。 How should I know�察�More then than any�察�that the 

food I had  What else it may have been  was not for me�拭�My fathers 

and their fathers and their fathers Had found it good�察�and said there was no 

other�察�And   I   was   of   the   line。 When   Stephen   fell�察�Among   the   stones   that

crushed his life away�察�There was no place alive that I could see For such a 

man。 Why should a man be given To live beyond the Law�拭�So I said then�察�

As men say now to me。 How then do I Persist in living�拭�Is that what you 

ask�拭�If so�察�let my appearance be for you No living answer�察�for Time writes 

of death On men before they die�察�and what you see Is not the man。 The 

man that you see not  The man within the man  is most alive�察�Though 

hatred would have ended�察�long ago�察�The bane of his activities。 I have lived�察�

Because the faith within me that is life Endures to live�察�and shall�察�till soon 

or late�察�Death�察�like a friend unseen�察�shall say to me My toil is over and my 

work begun。 

     How often�察�and how many a time again�察�Have I said I should be with 

you in Rome� �He who is always coming never comes�察�Or comes too late�察�

you   may   have   told   yourselves�察  �And   I   may   tell   you   now   that   after   me�察�

Whether I stay for little or for long�察�The wolves are coming。 Have an eye 

for them�察�And a more careful ear for their confusion Than you need have 

much longer for the sound Of what I tell you  should I live to say More 

than   I   say   to   Caesar。   What   I   know   Is   down   for   you   to   read   in   what   is 

written�察�And   if   I   cloud   a   little   with   my  own   Mortality  the   gleam  that   is 

immortal�察�I do it only because I am I  Being on earth and of it�察�in so far 

As time flays yet the remnant。 This you know�察�And if I sting men�察�as I do 

sometimes�察�With   a sharp   word that hurts�察�it   is because   Man's habit is to 

feel before he sees�察�And I am of a race that feels。 Moreover�察�The world is 

here for what is not yet here For more than are a few�察�and even in Rome�察�

Where   men   are   so   enamored   of   the   Cross   That   fame   has   echoed�察  �and 

increasingly�察�The music of your love and of your faith To foreign ears that 

are as far away As Antioch and Haran�察�yet I wonder How much of love 

you know�察 �and if your   faith   Be the shut   fruit of words。  If   so�察 �remember 

Words are but shells unfilled。 Jews have at least A Law to make them sorry 

they were born If they go long without it�察�and these Gentiles�察�For the first 

time in shrieking history�察�Have love and law together�察�if so they will�察�For 

their defense and their immunity In these last days。 Rome�察�if I know the 

name�察  �Will   have   anon   a   crown   of   thorns   and   fire   Made   ready   for   the 

wreathing of new masters�察�Of whom we are appointed�察�you and I�察 �And 

you are still to be when I am gone�察�Should I go presently。 Let the word fall�察�
