F . W . Stokoe . *ODE TO EARTHLY JOY. DAUSE , Joy ! I cannot follow . Just a space 1 Turn through the dusk the candour of your face To cool my burning eyes . You made no halt in your relentless race Since I was driven out of Paradise And torn from your embrace . Is this pursuit of you for ever vain ? To hold you once and never hold again Through all the breathless years , To strive where never mortal shall attain And still be fooled in laughter and in tears , Is more than human pain . I followed ever , where by land and sea Vanishing lovely sha…

F . W . Stokoe . My longing has no shape or name, My joy is fleeting as the dew : Who heard a footstep as it came ? Or, when it vanished , knew Which way he might pursue ? At ebbing noon -tide on the hill You come- ah, surely you are there : So near you are , so near - and still I seek you everywhere, Nor find you anywhere. III. Pipe me a silver song, A fleeting strain , Like shining wind along A leafy plain Swift sunlight caught among Shadows and rain. Calling loud and calling still, Over mossy bank and rill , Piping soft and piping shrill . 1…

… 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 from her blood and bone New life should spring, New , yet her own.

John Presland . Till this creature of the sea At the last became Human , in her misery, Joy and pride and shame . With a word he left her there ; “ Woman that you are , Mystery attracts us men Draws us from afar. Sea -nymph as you were, a thing Intangible , unknown , Like the light the sunbeams fling , Where the spray is blown . Sea -nymph have you ceased to be, Forfeited the whole Of that moonlight poetry Cherished by man 's soul . Still we seek the dim ideal As the moth the star , How for women can we feel That our seekings bar ? " Where the …

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…

…ast ! And her sisters of the sea Their bewailing ceased . As it paled towards the dawn, From the light they filed ; But she laughed with joy new - born , " Is this life ? ” she said . There was labour of the day , Dust upon her feet , Scorching of the shadeless way , Clamour of the street ; All a human want and pain , Laughter fraught with tears ; Toil , when toil we know is vain , Hope , when hopes are fears ; 159

…uds rifted , Soars quick and clear . We know the dance that hails the golden pinions The sun waves over an awakening earth ; We know the joy that floods the heart 's dominions At true love 's birth . Even so, the mists that roll o' er earth are riven , The spirit flashes forth from mortal sight , And , flaming through the viewless space , is given A robe of light . As when the conqueror Christ burst forth of prison And triumph woke the thunder of the spheres , So broke the soul , as newly re - arisen Beyond the years . 57

… like God upon the seventh day . Then , shouldering the shining axe , I strode Across the sunrise ; and the life-long hate Flowered into joy . Scarce heard , his iron gate Clanged - to behind me as I took the road . * FLAME . O NLY the fire of love can fuse and burn This solid world to spirit . But we two Have caught love back by the escaping wing , Therefore shall life be perfect, for our eyes Are opened and our stooping souls stand up Full - statured under the roofless heaven of love .

G . H . LUCE. THE SUMMER CLOUD . CLIMB , cloud , and pencil all the blue With your miraculous stockade ; The earth will have her joy of you And limn your beauty till it fade . Puzzle the cattle at the grass And paint your pleasure on their flanks ; Shoot , as the ripe cornfield you pass , A shudder down those golden ranks . On wall and window slant your hand And sidle up the garden stair ; Cherish each flower in all the land With soft encroachments of cool air . Lay your long fingers on the sea And shake your shadow at the sun , Darkly remindin…

But with instant light Rends the film ; with joy I quiver To see with new celestial sight Flower and leaf and grass and tree , Doomed barks on an eternal sea , Flit phantom -like as transient smoke . Beauty herself her spell has broke, Beauty, the herald and the lure, Her message told , may not endure ; Her portal opened , she has died , Supreme immortal suicide. Yes, sleepless nature soundless flings Invisible grapples round the soul, Drawing her throug…

… years , Can it draw near to knowledge . Tears And sorrow , sorrow , are the soul of truth . Not because all is sadness Inevitably : the joys that do obscure Are no less real Than sorrows which reveal ; But joy the spendthrift reckons not in pence The things that make his gladness , But grief a strict accountant will commence To tell base coin from the pure . Has any man a friend Crowned with delight and full prosperity , Who walk together seeming whole And interweave caressing arms ? Let these not boast communion of soul Till fate her message …

The yearning pain of unfulfilled delight , The moonless vigils of her lonely night ? For the abnormal anguish of her tears , And flowering springs that mock her empty years ? 166
