…at is master of fear ; Dew covering the body that dashes and clings to me here. O fairest, O rose among roses! O flower of the innermost fire ! O tune of my soul that encloses All life, the tempestuous lyre ! O dawn of my dawn that reposes and darts in desire ! And death and its portals are rifted, Life listens our kisses that weep ; Love hears, and his measure is shifted, Grows solemn and deadly and deep ; Love’s ship droops its sails and is drifted in silence to sleep. And soft as a seal on our slumber Dreams drift of Aurorean dew 3 Dreams sh…

…n held. The children of Ammon are broken, their princes and warriors yield. The captain is chosen for fight ; The light of his eye is as fire, His hand is hardy of might And heavy as dead desire ; The sword of the Lord and of Jephthah shall build our dead women a pyre. The peuple were sad for his wrath ; The elders were bowed with despair, And death was the piteous path ; With ashes we covered our hair; The voice of the singer was dumh, the voice of the triumph of prayer.

…r. ‘* Awake, awake ! for true love’s sake! The blood is pulsing faster. My swift veins burn with keen desire Toward those ebony wings of fire, The monarchs of disaster !” The golden bride awoke and sighed And looked upon her master. The bride was clad in spider-silk 5 The lord was spurred and shod. Her breasts gleamed bright and white as milk, Most like the mother of God ; His heart was shrouded, his face was clouded, Earth trembled where he trod. te ‘* By thy raven tresses ; by those caresses We changed these five hours past ; By the full red …

PREFACE, IN response to many suggestions from dear Brethren, I have adapted a hymn to the wants of the Church. In view of the grossly unscriptural nature of the original hymn (so- called) many changes have been rendered necessary, but I hope and trust that this has bee…

…nce of the Light above ! Draw into nought All life, death, hatred, love : All self concentred in the sole desire— Hear thou the Voice of Fire! This hope was Zoroaster’s—this is mine! Not one but many splendours hath the Shrine: Not one but many paths approach the gate That guards the Adytum, fortifying Fate ! Mine was, by weariness of blood and brain, Mere bitter fruit of pain Sought in the darkness of an harlot’s bed, To make me as one dead : To loose the girders of the soul, and gain Breathing and life for the Intelligible; Find death, yet fi…

See where the cherubim pallid and plumed Swing with their thuribles praises perfumed! Jesus is risen and Mary assumed: Ave Maria! {560} O sorrow of pure eyes beneath The heavy-fringed estatic lids, Seeing for maiden song and wreath Sphinxes and pagan pyramids!

Who reared the stallion wind ? ing flings The billows starward? fire-shod Whose foal- Whose the steeds That sweep throughout the world? What spearman sings The fearful chant of war That fires, and spurs, and maddens all the kings That rule o’er earth, and air, and ocean? Whose hand excites the star To shatter into fiery flakes?

… blessings vain I pour in desperate fervour from the lyre. So, baffled by the echoes of hell’s pain, Blinded by grisly glamour of hell’s fire, I take my refuge in the solitude And grandeur of that irony of ire, That mockery of mercy: thus I brood Apart, alone, upon the cause of Things And wait those fearful Three. A lifeless mood Stirs my grey being: ay! no passion springs In flowerless halls as these: awhile the mind Wanders on void unprofitable wings No whither : gains new strength at last to find Custom breed sight and hearing: in the hal] T…

The drowsy cries of night birds, then the song Lovely and lovelorn in the listening vale, So wild and tender, swooping down in long Notes of despair, then lifting the low tale In golden notes to skyward in one throng Of clustered silver, so the nightingale Tunes the wild flute, as dryads he would gather To roof with music …

I know not his name, for he wears no feathers of my desire. It is thou, it is thou, lone maiden! My heart is a bird that flies Far into the azure laden with love-lorn songs and cries. O Goddess of Nature and Love! is the lover I see. But thou art in the above, and thy kiss is not for me. Thyself Thou art all too far for my kiss; thou art hidden past my prayer. Thy wing too wide, and the bliss too sweet f…

…Without vague longing, infinite desire, Stronger because suppressed, Unto the wide black breast, The lips incarnate of blood, flesh, and fire, So to slip down between Thighs vast and epicene, Morose and lean, To that unnameable morass, the ultimate mire. Wherefore behoves the Soul that leaps divine, Even beholding, darkly in a mirror, The face of God, to sink before His Shrine, Weeping: O Beauty, Majesty, and Terror, Wisdom and Mind and Soul, Crown simplex, Mighty Whole, Lord of the Gods! O Thou, the King of Kings ! To me a sinner, me, Lowest o…

The poppy flames anew, the buttercup Glows with fresh fire, the larkspur rouses up To be the lark indeed amid the azalea bowers. Magnolia and light blooms of roses mute Rouse them to gather in one golden lute In fairy light and song into the sky to shoot. The laughing companies of corn awaken, Their wind-swept waves by Deedal music taken Into a golden heaven of festal song.
