… repress , And there 's a kind of sudden loneliness That comes to those who watch the coast - line flee . But I was born to see my ships set sail , And sit at home and shiver in the gale . And I was born to see my loved ones go, And set my hopes a- sail through mist and rain , Knowing that love , which burns at parting so, Shall be a light to draw them home again . * THE PRAYER . A S when the lone sea calls With swift strong voices of the ebbing tide , And the river , deep between its borders , Goes hurrying down to the remorseless sea So flowe…

…g . In fine, we may reverence good poetry without wrapping a religious mystery about it. It is with poets as with bricklayers ,-- if you set a thousand to work you are likelier to discover genius than if you set a dozen ; and this in spite of all such sayings as poeta nascitur non fit and solus rex vel poeta non quotannis nascitur . For even as many youths have started with an impulse for poetry and failed to achieve it, so many others have dropped into it almost by hazard and discovered their genius by practice . Which is more likely — that Sh…

Lying on a bank of green , All the grey is clearest seen ; All my floating thoughts arise To the place where God still lies . In my thought I clothe him now ; He is born behind my brow , And again shall live and die In the battle of the sky . 151

My forehead , bathed in her forlorn Light, with her lips is met : My lips, that murmur in the morn , With lustrous dew are wet . My prayer is mighty with my will ; My purpose as a sword Flames through the adamant, to fill The gardens of the Lord With music , that the air be still , Dumb to its mighty chord . I stand above the tides of time And elemental strife : My figure stands above , sublime , Shadowin…

Will any kindly clergyman Explain the reason why God set me here to mar His plan Of earth and sea and sky ? ** THERE IS A CHAOS THRONED ABOVE THE THRONE .” AST night the God of bitter dread Who shadowed my forgotten years, The God I struck and left for dead When hate had grown above my fears , Came drifting back from farthest space , From ghosts of gods and ghosts of men , And found me in the haunted place Where he and I were lonely then .

There , many a climbing minaret Lay mirrored in the dreaming sea With strangely precious carvings set In chrysoprase and ebony , And metals , wrought in fashions fair Of filagree as light as air . The streets were full of cheerful noise ; Princes and burghers passed me by , And grave philosophers , and boys , And maidens with reluctant eye . And every robe was brightly kissed With green , and gold , and amethyst . Around the cities sacred groves , Fulfilled of sunny pleasure , lay , Soft with the rumour of…

…ce , 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 leaves uncaught her strong and placid neck , While her loose cloak like light around her floats . The very sandals of her feet are tipped With little wings ! Oh , I could fly with her Into the farthest of her dimmest dreams , And grip her heart , and press it to mine own ! 162

Bore pyramids of fruit in golden bowls, Or, heaped on shining salvers ; others poured Rich wines and syrops ; others set on poles Torches of frankincense that shed abroad A curling fragrance down the corridors. Flowers wreathed the beams and porches , showering From marble balconies, until the floors Were drifted deep with petals . And the King Sat in the midst and let the jewels stream Between his fingers , till, in that domain Utopian , Truth and Fear became a dream , And he took comfort to his heart again . EXODUS . W E s…

Robert Keable . *I HAVE A HOPE . I HAVE a hope of deep - set woods 1 Where brown curled beech leaves strew the ground , And silk - haired primrose leaves around Make way for buds in fair green hoods ; And where the small dog - violets try To hide ashamed from passers by . I have a hope of free wide braes Swept keenly by sea - scented winds , Where , brave and tossed , one often finds Sea pinks ; where gulls upon their ways Go crying in the vault above That there 's no quest like that of Love . I have a hope that I may sit Some distant June , wh…

…or her as a river that strives towards a wide ocean . I caught at the jewels in her hair , but they evaded me . The great diadem that is set in the midst of her forehead mocked me So that I was provoked and blasphemed against her , For my longing was greater than I could bear . But she took pity on me . She touched mine eyelids with her lips That I might know nothing in the time of her presence . 3

He demonstrates that , when the world began , He made a solemn covenant with man ; Tells how , and where the fatal tree was set In Eden ; furthermore, how woman ate; Yea , how Eve tempted Adam and he fell , Necessitating everlasting Hell . Praise be to Him whose wisdom could invent That final word to every argument ! Thou hast the Light - Join therefore the Elect . Avoid His anger , or thou mayest expect Damnation . For the Lord will never break His covenant . His honour is at stake . [ Caspar enters from the inn , tankard in hand …
