Art and Poetry The Germ No March	A
	-
	-
She sat alway thro' the long day	B
Spinning the weary thread away	B
And ever said in undertone	C
'Come that I be no more alone '	-
	-
From early dawn to set of sun	D
Working her task was still undone	D
And the long thread seemed to increase	E
Even while she spun and did not cease	E
She heard the gentle turtle dove	F
Tell to its mate a tale of love	F
She saw the glancing swallows fly	G
Ever a social company	H
She knew each bird upon its nest	I
Had cheering songs to bring it rest	I
None lived alone save only she	H
The wheel went round more wearily	H
She wept and said in undertone	C
'Come that I be no more alone '	-
	-
Day followed day and still she sighed	J
For love and was not satisfied	J
Until one night when the moonlight	K
Turned all the trees to silver white	K
She heard what ne'er she heard before	L
A steady hand undo the door	L
The nightingale since set of sun	D
Her throbbing music had not done	D
And she had listened silently	H
But now the wind had changed and she	H
Heard the sweet song no more but heard	M
Beside her bed a whispered word	M
'Damsel rise up be not afraid	N
For I am come at last ' it said	O
	-
She trembled tho' the voice was mild	P
She trembled like a frightened child	P
Till she looked up and then she saw	Q
The unknown speaker without awe	R
He seemed a fair young man his eyes	S
Beaming with serious charities	T
His cheek was white but hardly pale	U
And a dim glory like a veil	U
Hovered about his head and shone	C
Thro' the whole room till night was gone	V
	-
So her fear fled and then she said	O
Leaning upon her quiet bed	O
'Now thou art come I prithee stay	B
That I may see thee in the day	B
And learn to know thy voice and hear	W
It evermore calling me near '	-
	-
He answered 'Rise and follow me '	-
But she looked upwards wonderingly	U
'And whither would'st thou go friend stay	B
Until the dawning of the day '	-
But he said 'The wind ceaseth Maid	N
Of chill nor damp be thou afraid '	-
	-
She bound her hair up from the floor	L
And passed in silence from the door	L
	-
So they went forth together he	H
Helping her forward tenderly	H
The hedges bowed beneath his hand	X
Forth from the streams came the dry land	X
As they passed over evermore	L
The pallid moonbeams shone before	L
And the wind hushed and nothing stirred	M
Not even a solitary bird	M
Scared by their footsteps fluttered by	G
Where aspen trees stood steadily	H
	-
As they went on at length a sound	Y
Came trembling on the air around	Y
The undistinguishable hum	Z
Of life voices that go and come	Z
Of busy men and the child's sweet	A2
High laugh and noise of trampling feet	A2
	-
Then he said 'Wilt thou go and see '	-
And she made answer joyfully	H
'The noise of life of human life	B2
Of dear communion without strife	B2
Of converse held 'twixt friend and friend	C2
Is it not here our path shall end '	-
He led her on a little way	B
Until they reached a hillock 'Stay '	-
	-
It was a village in a plain	D2
High mountains screened it from the rain	D2
And stormy wind and nigh at hand	X
A bubbling streamlet flowed o'er sand	X
Pebbly and fine and sent life up	E2
Green succous stalk and flower cup	E2
	-
Gradually day's harbinger	F2
A chilly wind began to stir	F2
It seemed a gentle powerless breeze	T
That scarcely rustled thro' the trees	T
And yet it touched the mountain's head	O
And the paths man might never tread	O
But hearken in the quiet weather	F2
Do all the streams flow down together	F2
	-
No 'tis a sound more terrible	U
Than tho' a thousand rivers fell	U
The everlasting ice and snow	G2
Were loosened then but not to flow	G2
With a loud crash like solid thunder	F2
The avalanche came burying under	F2
The village turning life and breath	H2
And rest and joy and plans to death	H2
	-
'Oh let us fly for pity fly	G
Let us go hence friend thou and I	G
There must be many regions yet	I2
Where these things make not desolate '	-
He looked upon her seriously	H
Then said 'Arise and follow me '	-
The path that lay before them was	J2
Nigh covered over with long grass	K2
And many slimy things and slow	G2
Trailed on between the roots below	G2
The moon looked dimmer than before	L
And shadowy cloudlets floating o'er	F2
Its face sometimes quite hid its light	K
And filled the skies with deeper night	K
	-
At last as they went on the noise	L2
Was heard of the sea's mighty voice	M2
And soon the ocean could be seen	N2
In its long restlessness serene	N2
Upon its breast a vessel rode	O2
That drowsily appeared to nod	P2
As the great billows rose and fell	U
And swelled to sink and sank to swell	U
	-
Meanwhile the strong wind had come forth	Q2
From the chill regions of the North	Q2
The mighty wind invisible	U
And the low waves began to swell	U
And the sky darkened overhead	O
And the moon once looked forth then fled	O
Behind dark clouds while here and there	R2
The lightning shone out in the air	R2
And the approaching thunder rolled	S2
With angry pealings manifold	S2
How many vows were made and prayers	T2
That in safe times were cold and scarce	U2
Still all availed not and at length	V2
The waves arose in all their strength	V2
And fought against the ship and filled	W2
The ship Then were the clouds unsealed	X2
And the rain hurried forth and beat	A2
On every side and over it	Y2
	-
Some clung together and some kept	Z2
A long stern silence and some wept	Z2
Many half crazed looked on in wonder	F2
As the strong timbers rent asunder	F2
Friends forgot friends foes fled to foes	A3
And still the water rose and rose	A3
	-
'Ah woe is me Whom I have seen	N2
Are now as tho' they had not been	B3
In the earth there is room for birth	C3
And there are graves enough in earth	C3
Why should the cold sea tempest torn	D3
Bury those whom it hath not borne '	-
	-
He answered not and they went on	E3
The glory of the heavens was gone	V
The moon gleamed not nor any star	F3
Cold winds were rustling near and far	F3
And from the trees the dry leaves fell	U
With a sad sound unspeakable	U
The air was cold till from the South	G3
A gust blew hot like sudden drouth	G3
Into their faces and a light	K
Glowing and red shone thro' the night	K
	-
A mighty city full of flame	H3
And death and sounds without a name	H3
Amid the black and blinding smoke	I3
The people as one man awoke	I3
Oh happy they who yesterday	B
On the long journey went away	B
Whose pallid lips smiling and chill	U
While the flames scorch them smile on still	U
Who murmur not who tremble not	J3
When the bier crackles fiery hot	J3
Who dying said in love's increase	E
'Lord let thy servant part in peace '	-
	-
Those in the town could see and hear	W
A shaded river flowing near	K3
The broad deep bed could hardly hold	S2
Its plenteous waters calm and cold	S2
Was flame wrapped all the city wall	U
The city gates were flame wrapped all	U
	-
What was man's strength what puissance then	L3
Women were mighty as strong men	L3
Some knelt in prayer believing still	U
Resigned unto a righteous will	U
Bowing beneath the chastening rod	P2
Lost to the world but found of God	P2
Some prayed for friend for child for wife	B2
Some prayed for faith some prayed for life	B2
While some proud even in death hope gone	V
Steadfast and still stood looking on	E3
	-
'Death death oh let us fly from death	G3
Where'er we go it followeth	G3
All these are dead and we alone	C
Remain to weep for what is gone	V
What is this thing thus hurriedly	H
To pass into eternity	H
To leave the earth so full of mirth	G3
To lose the profit of our birth	G3
To die and be no more to cease	E
Having numbness that is not peace	E
Let us go hence and even if thus	M3
Death everywhere must go with us	M3
Let us not see the change but see	H
Those who have been or still shall be '	-
	-
He sighed and they went on together	F2
Beneath their feet did the grass wither	F2
Across the heaven high overhead	O
Dark misty clouds floated and fled	O
And in their bosom was the thunder	F2
And angry lightnings flashed out under	F2
Forked and red and menacing	N3
Far off the wind was muttering	N3
It seemed to tell not understood	O3
Strange secrets to the listening wood	O3
	-
Upon its wings it bore the scent	P3
Of blood of a great armament	Q3
Then saw they how on either side	J
Fields were down trodden far and wide	J
That morning at the break of day	B
Two nations had gone forth to slay	B
	-
As a man soweth so he reaps	R3
The field was full of bleeding heaps	R3
Ghastly corpses of men and horses	S3
That met death at a thousand sources	S3
Cold limbs and putrifying flesh	T3
Long love locks clotted to a mesh	T3
That stifled stiffened mouths beneath	G3
Staring eyes that had looked on death	G3
	-
But these were dead these felt no more	L
The anguish of the wounds they bore	L
Behold they shall not sigh again	L3
Nor justly fear nor hope in vain	D2
What if none wept above them is	U3
The sleeper less at rest for this	V3
Is not the young child's slumber sweet	A2
When no man watcheth over it	Y2
These had deep calm but all around	Y
There was a deadly smothered sound	Y
The choking cry of agony	H
From wounded men who could not die	G
Who watched the black wing of the raven	D
Rise like a cloud 'twixt them and heaven	D
And in the distance flying fast	W3
Beheld the eagle come at last	W3
	-
She knelt down in her agony	H
'O Lord it is enough ' said she	H
'My heart's prayer putteth me to shame	H3
Let me return to whence I came	H3
Thou for who love's sake didst reprove	B2
Forgive me for the sake of love '	-
