I. GHOSTS
Breast under breast when shall lie With him who in my place Bends over you with flashing eye And ever nearing face;
Hand fast in hand when you shall tread With him the springing ways Of love from me inherited After my little phase;
Be not surprised if suddenly The couch or air confound Your ravished ears upbraidingly, And silence turn to sound.
But never let it trouble you, Or cost you one caress; Ghosts are soon sent with a word or two Back to their loneliness.
II. FOR A POET
I have wrapped my dreams in a silken cloth, And laid them away in a box of gold; Where long will cling the lips of the moth, I have wrapped my dreams in a silken cloth; I hide no hate; I am not even wroth Who found earth’s breath so keen and cold; I have wrapped my dreams in a silken cloth; And laid them away in a box of gold.
III. YOUTH SINGS A SONG OF ROSEBUDS
Since men grow diffident at last, And care no whit at all, If spring be come, or the fall be past, Or how the cool rains fall,
I come to no flower but I pluck, I raise no cup but I sip, For a mouth is the best of sweets to suck; The oldest wine’s on the lip.
If I grow old in a year or two, And come to the querulous song Of “Alack and aday” and “This was true, And that, when I was young,”
I must have sweets to remember by, Some blossom saved from the mire, Some death-rebellious ember I Can fan into a fire.
IV. THE LITANY OF THE DARK PEOPLE
Our flesh that was a battle-ground Shows now the morning-break; The ancient deities are downed For Thy eternal sake. Now that the past is left behind, Fling wide Thy garment’s hem To keep us one with Thee in mind, Thou Christ of Bethlehem.
The thorny wreath may ridge our brow, The spear may mar our side, And on white wood from a scented bough We my be crucified; Yet no assault the old gods make Upon our agony Shall swerve our footsteps from the wake Of Thine toward Calvary.
And if we hunger now and thirst, Grant our withholders may, When heaven’s constellations burst Upon Thy crowning day, Be fed by us, and given to see Thy mercy in our eyes, When Bethlehem and Calvary Are merged in Paradise.
V. FROM THE DARK TOWER
We shall not always plant while others reap The golden increment of bursting fruit, Not always countenance, abject and mute, That lesser men should hold their brothers cheap; Not everlastingly while others sleep Shall we beguile their limbs with mellow flute, Not always bend to some more subtle brute; We were not made eternally to weep.
The night whose sable breast relieves the stark, White stars is no less lovely being dark, And there are buds that cannot bloom at all In light, but crumple, piteous, and fall; So in the dark we hide the heart that bleeds,
And wait, and tend our agonizing seeds.
VI. DEAR FRIENDS AND GENTLE HEARTS
We open infant eyes Of wonder and surprise Upon a world all strange and new, Too vast to please our childish view, Yet love bends down and trust imparts; We gaze around And know we’ve found Dear friends and gentle hearts; Good-day, we smile, dear friends and gentle hearts; Good-day dear friends and gentle hearts.
When on the western rim Of time the sun grows dim, And dimly on the closing eye Fadeth the earth, the sea, the sky, How blessedly this breath departs If it pass out While watch about Dear friends and gentle hearts; Good-night, we smile, dear friends and gentle hearts; Good-night, dear friends and gentle hearts.
