Lo, All the Way, Look you, I said, the clouds will… Grow clear, the road Be easier for my travelling the fi… So sodden and dead,
Heard ye the maidens Went through the meadows, Early, O, early, While yet the dew was Wet on the grass?
THE old Old winds that blew When chaos was, what do They tell the clattered trees that… Should weep?
Force and bluster? Mighty threate… Scorn I lightly, - Not for these. Tell me when shall great Orion Catch the flying Pleuades?
The immemorial grief of all years Burdes my heart sorely, and the ye… Of slow eternal crying stain my ch… Forever and forever my soul speaks Saying: I am thy self: Look on me…
Avis, the fair, at dawn Rose lightly from her bed, Herself arrayed, Avis, the fait, the maid, In vestiment of lawn;
In your Curled petals what ghosts Of blue headlands and seas, What perfumed immortal breath sigh… Of Greece.
Sun and wind and beat of sea, Great lands stretching endlessly’… Where be bonds to bind the free? All the world was made for me!
The clustered Gods, the marching… The mighty-limbed, deep-bosomed T… The shimmering grey-gold London f… I wish that Phidias could see!
Well and If day on day Follows and weary year On year . . . and ever days and ye… Well?
The long night through and still a… Estranged from eyes that very wear… Makes blind to dawn.
Thou hast Drawn laughter from A well of secret tears And thence so elvish it rings, –mo… And sweet.
Seen on a night in November How frail Above the bulk Of crashing water hangs, Autumn, evanescent, wan,
Burdock, Blue aconite, And thistle and thorn. .of these Singing I wreathe my pretty wreat… O’death.
The sun is warm today, O Romulus, and on Thine older Palentine the birds Still sing.
