E . N . da C. Andrade . STUDENTS' SONG . POR God's sake, let us laugh a little, 1 All our days we strive to seek Things the world calls worthy , brittle Bubbles breaking while we speak . Half believing old pretences , Fearing censure from the wise , Down we bow 'fore what our senses Tells us are inanities. The sun's out: damn their teaching The sun 's out : damn all preaching We are wise , but we will prove We are not too wise to love. Teachers , when you've often said it, You believe much foolishness : Preachers, do you really credit All you t…

Aleister Crowley . Far above Space and Time that earth environ With bands and bars we strive against in vain , Far o'er the world , and all its triple iron And brazen chain ; Far from the change that men call life ; fled higher Into the world immutable of sleep , We see our loved one , and vain eyes desire In vain to weep . Woeful our gaze , if on lone Earth descendent , To view the absence of yon flame afar Yet in the Heavens , anew , divine , resplendent , Behold a star ! One light the less , that steady flamed and even Amid the dusk of Earth…

H . 0 . Meredith . How should the world or sea or land The senseless grass , the unthinking beast , Reach up to God ? How understand What links the greatest with the least ? Or how should God , who throws afar Time 's weft across the warp of space , Who communes not with any star , Nor the sun 's radiance finds his face , Stoop and observe a spinning ball His hand in one slight moment twirled , Half idly sundering from the All That last least particle , the world ? Man 's flesh is rooted in the ground , Whose mind , yet , reaching up the sky Fa…

…, so you , whose shining force Had galloped with me to eternity , Stand now , appealing like a tired horse : Unharness me . O passionate world ; O faces of my friends ! O half - grasped meanings , intricate and deep ! Sudden , as with a child , the tumult ends , Silenced by sleep . PRE - EXISTENCE . I LAID me down upon the shore And dreamed a little space ; I heard the great waves break and roar , The sun was on my face .

What dusky Earths , what Fires at all compare With thee , what Air , what Shadows lightly wrought , Thou living Water ! Settled softly there , Proud with the proud reality of Thought . 18

…And he died upon the tree, And the tree gave fruit and bloom , And it grew a god 's green tomb . And he rose again to be All the pulsing world to me. "SEASCAPE . ACROSS the sandy shallows The salt winds cry and mourn ; The little twittering swallows Cry out their notes ; forlorn The grass at the sea 's edge On the cliff ledge . A cold grey sky ; the wind Rustles through the trees ; Chilled grasses weep ; unkind To them the icy breeze . Brown hedgerows sway and creak , The wind 's so bleak . 152

Arthur Grimble . It seemed there was no room for strife , For all the world was glad with peace , And beauty was at one with life In harmony which could not cease . So instant did contentment seem I could not think it all a dream . But ah , the joy my spirit won Fled as the golden vision passed . The children of my dream are gone : A thousand ages hold them fast. The continent that used to be Is hidden in the purple sea . * BIRTH . CHE who gives birth in woe Forgets her pain at morn , Joyful to know A man is born . And all her senses sing That …

… Tall palms rear stately heads to grace The coming of the King , Incense to smoke before his face A thousand flowers bring . And all the world , as Eden was , Is hushed in holy fear , Only small creatures shrill because God holds them very dear . For earth 's an altar ; Golgotha Forbids to flee the name ; And sad man wandering very far Finds still the Cross the same .

… we had to grace our flat In Hazel Avenue . But I could walk to Hampstead Heath And crown her head with daisies, And watch the streaming world beneath And men with other Maisies . When I was ill and she was pale And empty stood our store , She left the latchkey on its nail And saw me never more .

Now I have broken Beauty 's wall , Now that my kindred world I hold , I care not though the cities fall And the green earth go cold . THE THREE HILLS . THERE were three hills that stood alone With woods about their feet . They dreamed quiet when the sun shone And whispered when the rain beat . They wore all three their coronals Till men with houses came And scored their heads with pits and walls And thought the hills were tame . Red and white when day shines brigh…

Aleister Crowley. THE PALACE OF THE WORLD . THE fragrant gateways of the Dawn 1 Teem with the scent of Aowers. The Mother , Midnight , has withdrawn Her slumberous kissing hours ; Day springs, with footsteps as a fawn , Into her rosy bowers. The pale and holy maiden horn In highest heaven is set. 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 m…

Richard Buxton . A MEMORY. u CORSE and the curving grass and the sun -heavy a ir were around us : All the world was asleep ; you and I were awake. Slowly the children crept to rest in the shadowy bushes, Slowly still 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 ou…

ARTHUR GRIMBLE . *ATLANTIS . IN dreams, my soul was backward drawn 1 A thousand thousand years to -night, Back to the world 's impulsive dawn When first Atlantis knew the light. Great Cities of the men of old , I saw them all in fire of gold . 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 bo…
