Сторінка 44 - IN a coign of the cliff between lowland and highland, At the sea-down's edge between windward and lee, Walled round with rocks as an inland island, The ghost of a garden fronts the sea. A girdle of brushwood and thorn encloses The steep square slope of the blossomless bed Where the weeds that grew green from the graves of its roses Now lie dead.
Сторінка 169 - CHORUS Not with cleaving of shields And their clash in thine ear, When the lord of fought fields Breaketh spearshaft from spear, Thou art broken, our lord, thou art broken, with travail and labour and fear.
Сторінка 47 - Till the slow sea rise and the sheer cliff crumble, Till terrace and meadow the deep gulfs drink, Till the strength of the waves of the high tides humble 75 The fields that lessen, the rocks that shrink...
Сторінка 162 - ... the stream of the sea ; Earth is thy covering to hide thee, the garment of thee. Thou art swift and subtle and blind as a flame of fire ; Before thee the laughter, behind thee the tears of desire ; And twain go forth beside thee, a man with a maid ; Her eyes are the eyes of a bride whom delight makes afraid ; As the breath in the buds that stir is her bridal breath : But Fate is the name of her ; and his name is Death.
Сторінка 66 - That noise is of Time, As his feathers are spread And his feet set to climb Through the boughs overhead, And my foliage rings round him and rustles, and branches are bent with his tread.
Сторінка 44 - A FORSAKEN GARDEN In a coign of the cliff between lowland and highland, At the sea-down's edge between windward and lee, Walled round with rocks as an inland island, The ghost of a garden fronts the sea.
Сторінка 7 - Friend, earth is a harbour for winter, a covert whereunder to flee, When day is the vassal of night, and the strength of the hosts of her mightier than he ; But here is the presence adored of me, here my desire is at rest and at home, There are cliffs to be climbed upon land, there are ways to be trodden...
Сторінка 116 - All spring through till the spring be done. Clothed with the light of the night on the dew, Sing, while the hours and the wild birds follow. Take flight and follow and find the sun.
Сторінка 115 - ITYLUS Swallow, my sister, O sister swallow, How can thine heart be full of the spring ? A thousand summers are over and dead. What hast thou found in the spring to follow? What hast thou found in thine heart to sing ? What wilt thou do when the summer is shed...
Сторінка 176 - MELEAGER The years are hungry, They wail all their days ; The gods wax angry And weary of praise ; And who shall bridle their lips ? and who shall straiten their ways? CHORUS The gods guard over us With sword and with rod ; Weaving shadow to cover us, Heaping the sod, That law may fulfil herself wholly, to darken man's face before God.
