WITH WAVES AND WINGS
WAVES and Wings and Growing Things� �As through the gladden sight
ye flow And flit and glow�察�Ye win me so In soul to go�察�I too am waves�察�I
too am wings�察�And kindred motion in me springs。
With thee I pass�察 �glad growing grass� � I climb the air with lissome
mien�察�Unsheathing keen The vivid sheen Of springing green�察�I thrill the
crude�察�exalt the crass Fine´flex'd and fluent from Earth's mass。
And impulse craves with thee�察�Sea Waves� � To make all mutable the
floor Of Earth's firm shore�察 �With flashing pour Whose brimming o'er
Impassion'd motion loves and laves And livens sombre slumbering caves。
Then soaring where the wild birds fare�察 �My song would sweep the
windy lyre Of Heaven's choir�察 �Pulsing desire For starry fire�察 �Abashing
chilling vagues of air With throbbing of warm breasts that dare� �

BLUEBERRIES
UPON the hills of Garlingtown Beneath the summer sky�察 �In many
pleasant pastures On sunny slopes and high�察 �Their skins abloom with
dusty blue�察�Asleep�察�the berries lie。
And all the lads of Garlingtown�察�And all the lasses too�察�Still climb the
tranquil hillsides�察 �A merry�察 �barefoot crew�察 �Still homeward plod with
unfilled pails And mouths of berry blue。
And all the birds of Garlingtown�察 �When flocking back to nest�察�
Remember well the patches Where berries are the best�察 �They pick the
ripest ones at dawn And leave the lads the rest。
Upon the hills of Garlingtown When berry´time was o'er�察�I looked into
the sunset�察�And saw an open door�察�And from the hills of Garlingtown I
went�察�and came no more。

NOCTURNE
NIGHT of infinite power and infinite silence and space�察 �From you
may mortals infer�察�if ever�察�the scope divine� �The jealous sun conceals all
but his arrogant face�察�You bid the Milky Way and a million suns to shine。
Each star to numberless planets gives light and motion and heat�察�But
you enmantle them all�察�the nearest and most remote�察�And the lustres of all
the suns are but spangles under your feet�察� Mere bubbles and beads of
noon�察�they circle and shine and float。

ENVOI
I WALKED with poets in my youth�察�Because the world they drew Was
beautiful and glorious Beyond the world I knew。
The poets are my comrades still�察�But dearer than in youth�察�For now I
know that they alone Picture the world of truth。

THERE WHERE THE SEA
THERE where the sea enwrapt A strip of land and wind´swept dune�察�
Where nature was quiescent in the glimmering Noonday sun of early
June�察�The Placid sea lay shimmering In a mist of blue�察 �From which the
sky now drew Its wealth of hue and colour�察 �One heard but the deep
breathing of the ocean�察 �As it breathed along the shore in even motion。
Among the pines and listless of the scene�察�Atthis and Alcaeus lay�察�Within
the heart of each a hunger For the unknown gift of life。 Here from day to
day They met and dreamed away The soft unfloding days of spring�察�Now
turning to the summer。
Aleaeus�此�
I am faint with all the fire In my blood�察�And I would plunge into the
quiet blue And lose all sense of time and you。
Atthis�此�
I�察�too�察�would plunge And swim with you� �
Doffing her robe�察 �the maid stood in her beauty�察 �Calm and sure and
unafraid�察 �The sinuous splendour of her limbs�察 �A silent symphony of
curving line�察�Which reached its final note In breast and rounded throat。 He
had not known that flesh could be so fair�察 �Each movement which she
made Wove o'er his sense a deeper spell�察 �Her beauty swept him like a
flame And caught him unaware。 She looked into his eyes�察�then dropping
hers Before that burning gaze�察 �Softly turned and crept with sunlit
shoulders Down among the boulders�察 �To the sea。 Secure within its
covering depth She called to him to follow。 She led him out along the tide�察�
With swift unerring stroke�察 �Nor paused till he was at her side。 With
conquering arm He seized her and from her brow Tossed back the dripping
locks�察�and sought her lips´ Her eyes closed�察�As all her body yielded to his
kiss。 Then home he bore her to the shore�察 �Within his heart a song of
triumph�察 �In hers�察 �a new´born joy of womanhood。 So spring for them
passed on to summer。

MARRIAGE
YOU�察�who have given me your name�察�And with your laws have made
me wife�察�To share your failures and your fame�察�Whose word has made me
yours for life。
What proof have you that you hold me�拭�That in reality I'm one With
you�察�through all eternity�拭�What proof when all is said and done�拭�
In spite of all the laws you've made�察�I'm free。 I am no part of you。 But
wait´the last word is not said�察�You're mine�察�for I'm myself and you。
All through my veins there flows your blood�察�In you there is no part of
me。 By virtue of my motherhood Through me you live eternally。

PITY
Oh do not Pity me because I gave My heart when lovely April with a
gust�察�Swept down the singing lanes with a cool wave�察�And do not pity me
because I thrust Aside your love that once burned as a flame。 I was as
thirsty as a windy flower That bares its bosom to the summer shower And
to the unremembered winds that came。 Pity me most for moments yet to
be�察�In the far years�察�when some day I shall turn Toward this strong path up
to our little door And find it barred to all my ecstasy。 No sound of your
warm voice the winds have borne´ Only the crying sea upon the shore。

A ROSE TO THE LIVING
A ROSE to the living is more Than sumptuous wreaths to the dead�察�In
filling love's infinite store�察�A rose to the living is more�察�If graciously given
before The hungering spirit is fled�察� A rose to the living is more Than
sumptuous wreaths to the dead。

THE STORM
SHE reached for sunset fires�察�And lived with stars and the sea�察 �The
mountains for her temple�察�The storm for priest had she。
Together a libation They poured to the God she knew�察�Such wine as
ageless heavens And lonely wisdom brew。
Now she has done with worship�察�For her all rites are the same�察�Yet the
storm keeps green forever The moss upon her name。

WHERE THEY SLEEP
THE fog inrolling�察�dark and still Lies deep upon the crowded dead As
flooding sea upon the sands�察�And quenches starlight overhead。
