…en grass, pale moon above ? Pale yellow moon, before the dawn, Palest green grass, Oh, have ye seen Diana pass Over the lawn? Soft-noted nightingales I love, With the earth below, and the moon above, And the rippling river singing slowly Under the stars serene and holy. Great staring moon before the dawn, Shining young grass, Oh, have ye heard Diana pass Over the lawn ? Oh, dimpling river, murmuring slowly Under the starlight pale, and holy, Oh, little green grasshoppers chirring, chirring, What have ye seen in the bright night stirring? xxxrx

… the damp meadows seem A plateau as of lost desire , a dream That melts from gold to gray : a soft breeze blew Across the brow of waking night, and dew Re-bathes the earth that grows a fading gleam . The sleepy river ripples , ripples ever Betwixt the old brown wall and meadows trim ; The tideless song of Never , Never , Never Lulls the wet woods , and ever growing dim The fields are grey with mist , and slip away Into the darkness with the dying day . 147

…This tune I knew not! See, the strings are moved Subtly as if by witchcraft—or by God ! [ Sings. In the Beginning God began, And saw the Night of Time begin ; Chaos, a speck ; and space, a span ; Ruinous cycles fallen in, And Darkness on the Deep of Time. Murmurous voices call and climb; Faces, half-formed, arise ; and He Looked from the shadow of His throne, The curtain of Eternity; He looked—and saw Himself alone, And on the sombre sea, the primal one, Faint faces, that might not abide ; Flicker, and are fordone. So were they caught within th…

…im safely, and he, for his part, kept the bargain and restored the skin of her son, so that there was great rejoicing on the Skerry that night. There is one other story of particular interest, in that it contains features not generally found amongst the bulk of the Seal-folk legends. It is the story of the Wounded Seal. There was once an islander who made his living by the killing of seals. One night, as he sat by the fire, resting after his day's work, he heard a knocking at the door, and, on opening it, found a man on horseback. The stranger …

No venomous or objectionable beast has yet dared to breathe the air ofthis balmy country. But itis not a deserted spot.

I saw myself, and still I sang With lips in clearer tune, Like to the nightingale’s that rang Through all those nights of June ; Such nights when stars in slumber hang Beneath the quiet moon. Still, in those avenues of light, No maid, with golden zone, And lily garment that from sight Half hides the ivory throne, Lay in my arms the livelong night To call my soul her own. The Christ’s cold lips my lips did taste On Time’s disastrous tide, His bruiséd arms my soul embraced, My sou…

168 MYSTERIES: SONNET. A DREAM OOL winds are blowing on the heathery brae. It is the time of night—the world is wrought For starry contemplation—gusts of thought Surge in the vast. Before my vision lay New oceans gemmed about with sun-bright isles, Peopled with creatures girded up with gold, Women men’s love made glorious to behold, Men clad with sunshine of fair women’s smiles, Fountains of purity and fadeless youth. With a glad heart I turned my steps to seek Their starry groves and streams. A scroll unfurled A cloud from heaven : “ This peop…

AMPHORA II NSHRINED in cloistral sanctity I sit and worship solemnly. Mary is everything to me. I hail Thee holy Mary. By day and night I sit alone Mute as a monument of stone, And meditate before the throne Of bright and blessed Mary. I see Her glory from afar Gleam like some cold and sacred star Among the solitudes that are The shrines of blessed Mary. Bid Thou these filmy eyes to see ! Turn Thou this heart to grace and gree ! Bring Thou my sense-dulled self to Thee, O bright and blessed Mary ! The song may cease, but through the air Ever sha…

…r professional interest in a case of what I think you will agree is something approaching indiscretion. My little friend here arrived to-night, or rather last night, full up to the neck with morphia. Dissatisfied with results, she swallowed a large dose of Anhalonium Lewinii, reckless of the pharmaceutical incompatability. Presumably to pass away the time, she has drunk an entire bottle of Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge; and now, feeling herself slightly indisposed, for some reason at which it would be presumptuous to guess, she is setting things r…

LYRICAL AND DRAMATIC. | 215 A VISION UPON USHBA. ERE in the wild Caucasian night, The sleepless years Seem to pass by in garments white, _ Made white with tears, _ A pageant of intolerable light Across the sombre spheres, And, mingling with the tumult of the morn, Methought a single rose of blood was born. Far on the iron peaks a voice Crystal and cold, Sharper than sounds the auroch’s choice O’er wood and wold, A summons as of angels that rejoice, A pzan glad and bold, A mighty shout of infinite acclaim Shrieks through the sky some dread forgo…
