A. V. Ratcliffe . Nay, lovely lass , ' tis well ,' tis well , Thou floatest white in the dark pool 's arms , Thou drownest deep thy dark alarms , And liest peaceful in the hell Of thine hair , that floats and charms . He sleeps , thy brave , thy handsome lad, Who sang awhile on the rolling wold , He lies deep down , in his red suit clad , He dreams with his heart that once was glad , And his mad red lips are cold . Barden Towers in a mist of rain , The trees all green and yellow and gold , A wistful gloom on the hills of pain And a tale of sadn…

…t du Sillon ." THE labour of the fields is hard : Who would subdue the stubborn earth Must first subdue himself ; from birth Of day till dark without reward He must endure . Even as one Of his own beasts he must become Dull - eyed , dark - featured , patient , dumb ; Strong simple servant of the sun . For him the music of the wood In May on heedless ears must fall ; On sightless eyes the carnival Of summer over field and flood . But when love comes ! Ah, when love comes , For him no fetters bid him stay , No thorns of thought counsel delay When…

…ot Freyer . By the lonely lake, By the slopes of timber, Rough roads shall quake To the guns in limber. Ere the leaf shall fall, Ere the dark woods lighten , At the red earth 's call Brave bones shall whiten . And many a lass Shall wait her lover, Cold in the grass Where the vultures hover .

Dermot Freyer . CHRYSANTHEMUMS AT NIGHT. IIKE balls of snow , - In the dark of the year The white chrysanthemums Appear . Like balls of snow , When the earth 's a-cold The white chrysanthemums Unfold . Like balls of snow , In a winter 's morn The white chrysanthemums Are born . Like balls of snow , In the garden gloom The white chysanthemums Out- loom . Like balls of snow , From dusk till dawn , Still as tapers they glow , Flooding light on the lawn .

Iolo Aneurin Williams. LOVE DEMONIAC . ( A Grotesque.) FIRST a vague walking through the half-dark wood, 1 An aimless feeling in the torpid blood ; A white blur growing through the black pine trees ; A gasp staccato , trembling in the knees, At more distinction of the coming face ; A cry to send the darkness round the place Reeling - " Ah shining lamp ” . . . “ Ah fellow flame, There was great darkness here until this came , This splendid rush of love demoniac .” And then - a sudden shiver down the back . 211

Aleister Crowley . PERDURABO . TXILE from humankind ! The snow 's fresh flakes Are warmer than men 's hearts. My mind is wrought Into dark shapes of solitary thought That loves and sympathizes , but awakes No answering love or pity. What a pang Hath this strange solitude to aggravate The self-abasement and the blows of Fate ! No snake of hell hath so severe a fang ! I am not lower than all men — I feel Too keenly . Yet my place is not above ; Though I have this — unalterable Love In every fibre . I am crucified Apart on a lone burning crag of s…

… ivory of your white hands , And I will sign a truce and swear To pillage no man 's lands. Give me the tempests of your love , The love -dark lightning of your smile , And I will seek no treasure -trove Buried in South Sea isle. The high seas of your heart shall be A new , more splendid Spanish Main ; Thereon will I set sail : for me Not gold , but greater gain . 90

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…

… stand in the still twilight gathering Over their sunset slopes . Around them cling Deep - tinted clouds , and vesture - like enfold The dark , low downs , that loom as waves storm rolled Unbreaking in mid - ocean . Echoing , Faintly amid their unseen hollows ring The bells of sheep that muster to their fold . Beneath the rampart of the low , long range Green Sussex sleeps , nor fears that Time or Change Shall mar the music of her hill and lea ; Secure that nothing ever shall estrange Her children 's love , eternal as the sea That crowns her in…

Edmund Vale . Play on then till bats are dipping, Till the shades of night come tripping And your souls in dark are hidden , Sweet Kodomo and Nésan, For a darker shade approaching From the Westward is encroaching , Pressing onward unforbidden Round the shores of Old Japan . And while temple gongs are booming , By Pagodas dimly looming And by many an ancient Tori And by paper lanterns wan , Progress comes with fingers stealing Without mercy , without feeling , Waiting but to grip your story , Then he'll close it, Old Japan . * THE WINDMILL .

AELFRIDA TILLYARD. *MYSELF. SOMETHING of joy I feel and something fear When to my soul 's own depths I gaze adown . ' Tis dark and fiery like a living town , And cries and strivings rise as I bend near . Yet from the shadowed murk of streets there rear Full many a pure church cross and spire that crown And cast a halo o' er the city 's frown , Or make a star by which the vessels steer . Touched are they not by all the strife below ; Still and erect they stand ; God made them so. But in and out the crowded streets , it seems , Is heard the laugh…

What worth have we or valour to withstand The shock of hosts , what merit to emerge Pure from the flame ? yet grant to us the scourge But spare the bolt in Thine uplifted hand . Great God , Who dost not doom the sins of men With cold , grey justice of a human eye , Have not our fathers glorified Thy name ? Hath she no service yet ? O grant us then This respite , gracious Lord , o…

…oks 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 , or nothing at all But a streak across the sea . 36

E N . da C. Andrade . * FRAGMENT. DECAUSE your face is with me in the dark Wrought out in fire and unattainable air, Because the past is with me and despair , Kindling the blackness bright with many a spark Of memory to make me writhe and weep : Because I cannot sleep For thorny to my side is all my bed , And all the night is stubble to my soul , And all my pillow nettles to my head Because my mouth demands a spell to say , And misery demands her lawful toll Of inexpressive words , which I must pay , I set my hands towards you through the gloom…

Victor B . Neuburg . A LOST SPIRIT . ( The Spirit seeks re-incarnation .) | PASS by darkened windy ways , 1 Through bog and dripping heather ; I flash before the silver rays The moon holds tight together . I sing beneath the waning moon ; An ancient god -forgotten rune Springs to my lips to taste , and soon The way behind with light is strewn. O silent city silver - lit, O rainy roads reflecting Tall houses where the old ghosts fit , Their shadows thin projecting Across my path — the street lamps glare Before my soft eyes everywhere . Ah ! men …
