… of weeping; Birds in the wood are on wing, Lambs in the meadow are leaping, Can there be any delight still in the buttercups sleeping ? Dawn, paler daffodil, dawn ; Smile, for the winter is over; Sunlight makes golden the lawn, Spring comes and kisses the clover ; All the wild woodlands await poet and songster and lover. Linger, dew, linger and gem All the fresh flowers in the garland ; Blossom, leaf, bud and green stem Flash with your light to some far land, Where men shall wonder if you be not a newly-born starland.
…E SOUTHWARD. OLY as heaven, the home Of winds, the land .of foam, The palace of the waves, the house of rain, Deeper than ocean, dark As dawn before the lark Flings his sharp song to skyward, and is fain To light his lampless.eyes At the flower-folded skies Where stars are hidden in the blue, £0 fill His beak with star-dropt dew, His little heart anew With love and song to swell it to his will ; Holy as heaven, the place Before the golden face Of God is very silent at the dawn. The even keel is keen To flash the waves between, But no soft movin…
…g me the sackcloth and the ashes now. ELEAZAR. Behold! the crown of all our maiden wreath, Adulah, white and lissome, with the flames Of dawn forth blushing through her flower-crowned hair. . CHORUS. Behold a virgin to the Lord! Behold a maiden pale as death, Whose glance is silver as a sword, And flowers of Kedar fill her breath, Whose fragrance saturates the sward, Whose sunny perfume floating saith : From my ineffable desire is drawn The awful glory of the golden dawn. Behold her bosom bare and bold Whose billows like the ocean swing! The pa…
…sea Our father Abraham beheld The lamp of heaven arise and be The monarch quenchless and unquelled ; But we on this far Syrian shore See dawn upon the mountains pour. The limit of the snows is bright ; As spears that glitter shine the hills ; The foaming forehead of the light All air with cloudy fragrance fills ; And, born of desolation blind, The young sweet summer burns behind. The Altar of the Lord is set With salt and fire and fervid wine, And toward the east the light is let For shadow for the holiest shrine : One moment hangs the fire of …
68 JEPHTHAH. Remembering He hath surely sworn : Toward the night, toward the dawn ! Behold the moon that fails above, The stars that pale before the sun! How far, those figures light as love - . That laughing to the mountains run! Behold the flames of hair that leap Above her forehead mild and deep! She turns to bless her people still : So, passes to the golden gate Where snow burns fragrant on the hill, Where for her step those fountains wait Of light and brilliance that shall rise To greet her beauty lover-wise. The silver west fades fast, th…
…and with rose leaves shed about the tips, As if my lips : Had left their bloom upon it when they kissed, As if a mist Of God’s delicious dawn had overspread Their face, and fled! O wonderful fresh blossom of the wood! O purpling blood! O azure veins as clear as all the skies! O longing eyes That look upon me fondly to beget Two faces, set Either like flowers upon their laughing blue, Where morning dew _ Sparkles with all the passion of the dawn! The happy lawn Leads, by the stillest avenues, to groves Made soft by loves ; And all the nymphs hav…

… are intertwined, Breath desires breath and hand imprisons hand, Breezes cool faces, rosy with the brand Of long sweet kisses; sun shall dawn and find Two lovers who have passed the land Of sleep—and found Death kind.
160 ‘MYSTERIES: Only a primrose, a violet laden With the pale perfume of dawn ; Only a snowdrop, my delicate maiden ; These have no thorn. Old-fashioned love, yet you feel it a fountain Springing for ever, most pure; Old-fashioned love, yet as adamant mountain . Solid and sure. Yes, tender thoughts on your lips will be breaking By-and-by into a smile; Love, ere he springs up divine at his waking, Slumbers awhile. So, my kissed snowdrop, you took its white blossom Tenderly into your hand, Kissed it three times, wear it yet in your bosom— I under…
…Their own still hour. So are the stars moved ; so the night Puts off her robe. So to his music breaks the light O’er the pale globe. The dawn is here, and on the sands Where sun first flames, I gather lilies from all lands Of sad sweet names. The Lesbian lily is of white Stained through with blood, : Swayed with the stream, a wayward light Upon the flood. The Spartan lily is of blue, With green leaves fresh ; Apollo glints his crimson through The azure mesh. The English lily is of white, All white.and clean. “There plays a tender flame of light…
… Of sunshine that brings healing with the breath Of western winds that sigh, and hint _ Of sleep, twin soul with death. Death, death ere dawn. The night is over dark, Trees are grown terrible, the shadows wan Make shudder all the tense desires of man ; No gleam of moonlight bears the golden mark Of sunny lips, nor shines upon Our sleep—Love’s birchen bark.
…der than them all. Fare well, My father, O my father! I am passing Into the night. Remember me as drawn Into the night toward the golden dawn. [Exeunt Adulah and Maidens. CHORUS. Toward the mountains and the night The fairest of all Israel go, Toward the hollows weird and white, Toward the sorrow of the snow ; To desolation black and blind They move, and leave us death behind. The Lord is great, the Lord is wise Within His temple to foresee
…wers ? Now is beginning of spring, and I ask not Roses to flame o’er the lawn— Who should know better that peonies bask not In the sun’s dawn? Still, through the snow, it may be there is peeping Veiled from the kiss of the sun | One lone white violet, daintily sleeping, Hard to be won. So with my fairy white maiden (you hear me ?) . Winter may yet pass away ; Spring may arrive, (will it find your heart near me?) Summer may stay. Passionate roses I seek not, whose glories Now are too fierce for the spring, While the white flames of the frost fla…
…pernal roll ! Flash through them, O white-winged, white-blossom ghost ! Ah, God! for I am lost. - [Jephthah remains motionless, [Morning dawns. Enter Jared, Soldters, Prophet. SOLDIERS. . Hail, captain! We are ready now for death, Or victory, if shining wings are fain To hover over dauntless hearts. Behold Our ready bands to follow to the fray. JEPHTHAH. Welcome! hail ye this happy dawn as one
… ; The earth is rejoiced and the fountains are free, Leaping, cascades of new song. Music and myrtle are bound in the forehead Golden of dawn’s herald strong ; The sea basks below in the atmosphere torrid, Waiting and waiting a lover. All men despise her: a woman once found Joy in the kisses whereby she was drowned, Love in her death to discover. I, in the pzan of earth, air, and ocean, Join and laugh loud for the love of my heart; Throbs the loud air with my throes of emotion ; Love hath prevailed with the adamant dart Poisoned, a tooth of a s…
…ar no more at last to live Since man can love and worship and forgive. Then on these heights of Caucasus A fire shall dwell, Pure as the dawn, and odorous Of bud and bell; A flower of fire, a flame from Heaven to us. All triumph to foretell, A glory of unspeakable delight, A flower.like lightning, adamant and white. There needs no more or sun or sea Or any light ;
…ene God spat on the universe: The sods of Destiny were spattered on her :— Then rose thy spirit through the shaken skies : “Child of the Dawn, I say to thee, arise!” Through the ancestral shame and feudal gloom, Through medizval blackness rung thy pzean : Let there be light !—the desecrated tomb Gaped as thy fury smote the Galilean.
…, With large sweet love-illumined eyes Into the night, into the night. The throne of night shall be withdrawn ; So moveth she toward the dawn. All peoples and all kings that move By love and sacrifice inspired In light and holiness and love, And seek some end of God desired, Pass, though they seem to sink in night, To dawns more perdurably bright. So priest and people join to praise The secret wisdom of the Lord, Awaiting the arisen rays That smite through heaven as a sword
…distress with horrid cries, Where the flower relenting dies, And the sun is sharp to slay ; Where the ivory dome above Glimmers like the dawn of love On the weary way ; Where the ibex chant and call Over tempest’s funeral ; Where the horndd beast is shrill, And the eagle hath his will, And the shadows fall
