John Presland . Mortal pain and mortal doubt, Shades of misery , And she turned her round about , Facing from the sea. In his hand her hand she laid , As to land they turned , And her hand of sea -foam made . 'Neath his fingers burned . On they went, then , he and she , Walking towards the East ! And her sisters of the sea Their bewailing ceased . As it paled towards the dawn, From the light they filed ; But she laughed with joy new - born , " Is this life ? ” she said . There was labour of the day , Dust upon her feet , Scorching of the shadel…

…ish tongue , Read out my words at night, alone : I was a poet, I was young . Since I can never see your face, And never shake you by the hand, I send my soul through time and space To greet you . You will understand . TENEBRIS INTERLUCENTEM . A LINNET who had lost her way n Sang on a blackened bough in Hell, Till all the ghosts remembered well The trees , the wind, the golden day . At last they knew that they had died When they heard music in that land , And someone there stole forth a hand To draw a brother to his side .

A . V . RATCLIFFE . FIGURE OF SPEED . L ERE does she sit, her foot upon the wing 11 Of a winged wheel , and in one mighty hand Holding aloft her golden rod of power ; And in the other hand a flaming bar , With spear - like darting jaggéd lightning heads . Her face is like some ancient hero 's face , Far - seeing eyes , and brows , where sleep the thoughts That shall be born in lightnings , and her lips Most smoothly curved , but set too firm that love Should dally with his rosy kisses there . Her corslet clasps her firm and vital breasts , But …

…ch a height , Scattering delight in such swift shakes , Lending desire such subtle wings All this the simple wood and strings With human hand to guide it, makes . What sounds should I, so complex more , Constructed with such artifice , So full of wonder and device , Surrounded with such happy store Of miracle to celebrate , New visions sprung with each new date , Of fields unknown , and paths untrod , What sounds should I then resonate Beneath the urgent hand of God ?

… ! ( We found you pale and quiet , and strangely crowned with flowers , Lovely and secret as a child . You came with us , Came happily , hand in hand with the young dancing hours , High on the downs at dawn !) Void now and tenebrous , The grey sands curve before me .. . From the inland meadows , Fragrant of June and clover , floats the dark , and fills The hollow sea 's dead face with little creeping shadows , And the white silence brims the hollow of the hills . Close in the nest is folded every weary wing , Hushed all the joyful voices ; and …

…ly sound The Angels ' herald -trumpets , calling round Thunders and mighty winds and powers amazed . Now laden with the spirit of man 's hand There bursts an awful clarion -shout , and brings Strange whispering and rushing of strange wings Battling , and furtive secrets of command . Down from the height and up from the abyss Are swept dominion , power, angel, throne , For unimaginable ends, and hiss , And fall. The heralds trumpet ; they are gone. Tread softly — 'tis in God ' s house thou hast been And fearfully — ' tis God that thou hast seen …

The din of men Who march , the vanguard of mankind to -day , Is far from you ; your home Is left untortured by the strife of souls A strife religion -born , For that blind change which we salute in faith As progress .

Awake! ” I hear you cry . And now your reedy pipes are shrill Far , far away , beyond the day , Beyond the Faery Hill . But wait , but wait , О faery boy , I come by height and hollow .

H . O. Meredith . I took the dead god by the hand , I filled his nostrils with my breath , I watched the sunken face expand , I watched the life creep back from death , I made him lord of earth and men And ruler over sea and air , Within my heart I loosed again The faint and frozen springs of prayer . II . Now as God waxed so I did wane , For through the dim millennial years Back to the utter source of pain He bore me surfeited with tears . Swift from the present , back through time , Swifter than spears the keen sun throws , He bore and set me…

…the sun rose in the vacuous sky. Earth and air and our souls were faint in the heat of the noonday ; Slower and yet more slow moved your hand in my hair . Time stood still and the sun had paused his path in the heavens , Not a breath in the air ruffled the leaves of the bush . Even our hearts were still and the restless swarm of our kisses Paused and abandoned their flight resting yet on our lips . Yet , as a man in a swoon sees heaven and earth laid before him , Clearly I saw our love binding and making us one .

On wall and window slant your hand And sidle up the garden stair ; Cherish each flower in all the land With soft encroachments of cool air . Lay your long fingers on the sea And shake your shadow at the sun , Darkly reminding him that he Relieve you when your work is done . Rally your wizardries , and wake A noonday panic cold and rude , Till ' neath the ferns the drowsy snake Is conscious of his solitude . Then as your sorcery declines El…

On the last Bridal step when the moon was on the river - Purple dark , with white stars, shining through above The Princess took her gold crown and cast it off for ever , Because for her gold crown she had slain her love .
