Edmund Vale . “ Come upon my sails and wonder At the mystery of my thunder, At my groaning And my creaking , As the cloud of night comes reeking , Casting me about and speaking Wild and loud . “ All the day I work in silence , Half asleep my sails go round , But at night I think and listen To the thoughts the stars have found , For the day with all its brilliance Has not half the truth of night : Children plight their love in darkness But they veil it in the light . “ I have heard the boys at day prime , I have seen the men at noon , And the gr…

…r lips begin a tune, A long , low tune of love that swells Little by little , and lights The overarching miracles Of Love's desire , and Night's. It swells, it rolls to triumph -song Through luminous black skies : Thrills into silence sharp and strong , Assumes its peace , and dies . There is the night : it covers close The lilies folded fair Of all your beauty , and the rose Half hidden in your hair . There is the night : unseen I stand And look to seaward still : We would not look upon the land Again , had I my will .

…d. Then with nimble hands and quick , At the coming of the dawn, Generously have sprinkled thick Pearls and diamonds on the lawn. ODE ON NIGHT. Do you know the soul of night ? It is more unfathomable than the mind of a woman , It is more beautiful than her body . For night is as strong as a virgin in the prime of her womanhood , She is as tender as a mother with her babe at breast. My soul was aflame for her love . I went out to her and reached up but was unworthy . I strove for her as a river that strives towards a wide ocean . I caught at the…

…HE cool December breezes 1 Appease the glowing sun . The agonies and eases Of all the year are done ; When eastward through the lampless night There shone a strange and splendid sight. The noise of pomp and battle Of Israel died away. Amid the lowing cattle The Holy Mother lay , While at her breast the Child Divine Drank in the starry milk and wine . Three magicians Chaldean Have bowed their royal knees Before the Galilean , The God of stars and seas , And tasted all the fervent grace That shone from Mary 's maiden face . That star of resurrect…

…r Children .) DUT on your coat and come to my boat, 1 And I 'll row you away with me Till the land and the day are both far away And the night looks over the sea ; And the dim moonlight will show you a sight That only at night can be The lights that glow and glitter below When the dark is over the sea. And I shall row where the moonbeams throw A streak across the sea , And we'll follow the streak on the waters bleak To see what the end may be ; For it may be the home where the dreams come from , Or it may be a dead city , Or a great rock wall ,…

Martin D . Armstrong . The living timber, and the night wore on , But still my strength increased as each great tree Fell prone ; and to the next with quenchless glee I turned . Therefore I vanquished one by one The hearts that centuries could not decay. Night-long I toiled , but when the East grew fawn I ceased , and there amid the waste at dawn Rested, like God upon the seventh day . Then , shouldering the shining axe , I strode Across the sunrise ; and the life-long hate Flowered into joy . Scarce heard , his iron gate Clanged - to behind me…

…intments distilled from the She heavent of the stars.eturned to thebasic of her And in the morning I returned to the battle , Glorifying night with praises of the magic of her healing . Yesterday I was troubled with the words of men , For they had denied the beauty and the sanctity of all things . They had broken the faith with the universal spirit , Saying that nothing is save themselves only , that are unworthy , more than I even , of the knowledge and love of night . And , sore distressed , I listened for her in the time of the great stillne…

…kindly winds that creep Round twilight corners , half asleep . In Grantchester their skins are white ; They bathe by day , they bathe by night . The women there do all they ought ; The men observe the Rules of Thought . They love the Good ; they worship Truth ; They laugh uproariously in youth ; ( And when they get to feeling old , They up and shoot themselves , I'm told .) . . . Ah , God !

What sudden door has opened so, What hand has passed , that I should know This moving vision not of trance That melts the globe of circumstance, This sigh…

ESME WINGFIELD -STRATFORD . FIRST LIGHT. A HARBOUR light in a storm , m A well in a waste of sand , A beacon light on a hopeless night , A friend in an alien land . A twilight flush in the East, A star in a clouded sky , A loyal blade for a cause betrayed , A breath from an age gone by . Sweet in a loveless world , Pure in a tainted air, Oh, who could see and not worship thee ? Lose thee and not despair ? 212

Robert Keable . But in the dark harsh night beyond the gate Wherein He went alone and dumb to doom , My soul went down to hell and read its fate , And rose again to serve Him , and to wait . I knew His weakness called me to be strong ; I knew that I must travel where He trod ; And that , although the path be hard and long , His eyes would pierce me yet , alive with song . It has been so: and never did I doubt His word that lakeside morning by the fire ; First battle ; then the song of them that shout ! Go quickly , lad ; they come to lead me ou…
