RED ROOSTER
RED ROOSTER in your gray coop�察 �O stately creature with tail´
feathers red and blue�察�Yellow and black�察�You have a comb gay as a parade
On your head�此�You have pearl trinkets On your feet�此 �The short feathers
smooth along your back Are the dark color of wet rocks�察�Or the rippled
green of ships When I look at their sides through water。 I don't know how
you happened to be made So proud�察�so foolish�察�Wearing your coat of many
colors�察�Shouting all day long your crooked words�察�Loud 。 。 。 sharp 。 。 。 not
beautiful� �

VELVETS ��BY A BED OF
PANSIES��
THIS pansy has a thinking face Like the yellow moon。 This one has a
face with white blots�察�I call him the clown。 Here goes one down the grass
With a pretty look of plumpness�察�She is a little girl going to school With
her hands in the pockets of her pinafore。 Her name is Sue。 I like this one�察�
in a bonnet�察�Waiting�察�Her eyes are so deep� �But these on the other side�察�
These that wear purple and blue�察�They are the Velvets�察�The king with his
cloak�察�The queen with her gown�察�The prince with his feather。 These are
dark and quiet And stay alone。 I know you�察�Velvets�察�Color of Dark�察�Like
the pine´tree on the hill When stars shine� �

HE MOODS
THE Moods have laid their hands across my hair�此 �The Moods have
drawn their fingers through my heart�察�My hair shall never more lie smooth
and bright�察 �But stir like tide´worn sea´weed�察 �and my heart Shall never
more be glad of small sweet things�察� A wild rose�察�or a crescent moon�察�a
book Of little verses�察�or a dancing child。 My heart turns crying from the
rose and book�察 �My heart turns crying from the thin bright moon�察 �And
weeps with useless sorrow for the child。 The Moods have loosed a wind to
vex my hair�察�And made my heart too wise�察�that was a child。
Now I shall blow like smitten candle´flame�此 �I shall desire all things
that may not be�此�The years�察�the stars�察�the souls of ancient men�察�All tears
that must�察�and smiles that may not be�察�Yes�察�glimmering lights across a
windy ford�察�And vagrant voices on a darkened plain�察�And holy things�察�and
outcast things�察�and things�察�Far too remote�察�frail´bodied to be plain。
My pity and my joy are grown alike。 I cannot sweep the strangeness
from my heart。 The Moods have laid swift hands across my hair�此 �The
Moods have drawn swift fingers through my heart。 FANNIE STEARNS

HILL´FANTASY
SITTETH by the red cairn a brown One�察�a hoofed One�察�High upon the
mountain�察 �where the grasses fail。 Where the ash´trees flourish far their
blazing Bunches to the sun�察�A brown One�察�a hoofed One�察�pipes against the
gale。 Up scrambled I then�察�furry fingers helping me。
I was on the mountain�察 �wandering�察 �wandering�察 �No one but the pine
trees and the white birch knew。 Over rocks I scrambled�察 �looked up and
saw that Strange Thing�察�Peaked ears and sharp horns�察�pricked against the
blue。
Oh�察�and�察�how he piped there� �piped upon the high reeds Till the blue
air crackled like a frost´film on a pool� �Oh�察�and how he spread himself�察�
like a child whom no one heeds�察�Tumbled chuckling in the brook�察�all sleek
and kind and cool� �
He had berries 'twixt his horns�察 �crimson´red as cochineal。�察 �Bobbing�察�
wagging wantonly they tickled him�察�and oh�察�How his deft lips puckered
round the reed�察 �seemed to chase and steal Sky´music�察 �earth´music�察 �tree´
music low� �I said ;Good´day�察�Thou� ─�He said�察 �Good´day�察�Thou� ─�Wiped
his reed against the spotted doe´skin on his back�察�He said�察 �Come up here�察�
and I will teach thee piping now。 While the earth is singing so�察�for tunes
we shall not Lack。;
Up scrambled I then�察�furry fingers helping me。 Up scrambled I。 So we
sat beside the cairn。 Broad into my face laughed that horned Thing so
Naughtily。 Oh�察�it was a rascal of a woodland Satyr's bairn� �
'So blow�察�and so�察�Thou� �Move thy fingers faster�察�look� �Move them like
the little leaves and whirling midges。 So� �Soon `twill twist like tendrils
and out´twinkle like the lost brook。 Move thy fingers merrily�察�and blow� �
Blow� �Blow� ─�
Brown One� �Hoofed One� �Beat time to keep me Straight。 Kick it on
the red stone�察 �whistle in my ear。 Brush thy crimson berries in my face�察�
then hold Thy breath�察�for´wait� �Joy comes bubbling to me lips。 I pipe�察�oh�察�
hear� �
Blue sky�察�art glad of us�拭�Green wood�察�art glad of us�拭�Old hard´heart
mountain�察�dost thou hear me�察�how I blow�拭�Far away the sea´isles swim in

sun´haze luminous。 Each one has a color like the seven´splendor bow。
Wind�察�wind�察�wind�察�dost thou mind me how I pipe�察�Now�拭�Chipmunk
chatt'ring in the beech�察 �rabbit in the brake�拭 �Furry arm around my neck�此�
;Oh�察�Thou art a brave one�察�Thou� ─�Satyr�察�little satyr´friend�察�my heart with
joy doth ache � �
Sky´music�察 �earth´music�察 �tree´music tremulous�察 �Water over steaming
rocks�察 �water in the shade�察 �Storm´tune and sun´tune�察 �how they flock up
unto us�察�Sitting by the red cairn�察�gay and unafraid� �
Brown One�察�Hoofed One�察�give me nimble hoofs�察�Thou� �Give me furry
fingers and a secret furry tail� �Pleasant are thy smooth horns�此�if their like
were on my brow Might I not abide here�察�till the strong sun fail�拭�
Oh�察 �the sorry brown eyes� �Oh�察 �the soft kind hand´ touch�察 �Sudden
brush of velvet ears across my wind´cool cheek� �Play´mate�察 �Pipe´mate�察�
thou askest one good boon too much。 I could never find thee horns�察�though
day´long I seek。
;Yet�察�keep the pipe�察�Thou�此�I will cut another one。 Keep the pipe and
play on it for all the world to hear。 Ah�察�but it was good once to sit together
in the sun� �Though I have but half a soul�察�it finds thee very dear� �
;Wise Thing�察�Mortal Thing�察�yet my half´soul fears thee� �Take the pipe
and go thy ways��quick now�察�for the sun Reels across the hot west and
stumbles dazzled to the sea。 Take the pipe�察�and oh´one kiss� �then run�察�run�察�
run� �run� ─�
Silence on the mountain。 Lonely stands the high cairn�察�All the leaves
a´shivering�察�all the stones dead´gray。 O thou cold small pipe�察�which way is
fled that Satyr's bairn�拭�I am lost and all alone�察�and down drops the day。
I was on the mountain�察�wandering�察�wandering There I got this Pipe o'
dreams。 Strange�察�when I blow�察�Something deep as human love starts a´
crying�察�troubling。 Is it only sky´music�察�earth´music low�拭�

THE MIRAGE
ACROSS the Bay are low´lying cliffs�察 �Where stand fishermen's
cottages�此�I can barely distinguish them with the naked eye。 But to´day the
cliffs are lifted�察�escarpt�察�Perpendicular�察�mysterious�察�inaccessible�察�And those
sordid dwellings have become The magnificent fortified castles of Sea´
kings。

THE ROAD BEYOND THE
TOWN
A ROAD goes up a pleasant hill�察�And a little house looks down�此�Ah� �
but I see the roadway still And the day I left the town。
The day I left my father's home�察�It'
