I Evening	A
	-
Rest beauty stillness not a waif of a cloud	B
From gray blue east sheer to the yellow west	C
No film of mist the utmost slopes to shroud	B
	-
The earth lies grace by quiet airs caressed	C
And shepherdeth her shadows but each stream	D
Free to the sky is by that glow possessed	C
And traileth with the splendors of a dream	D
Athwart the dusky land Uplift thine eyes	E
Unbroken by a vapor or a gleam	D
	-
The vast clear reach of mild wan twilight skies	E
But look again and lo the evening star	F
Against the pale tints black the slim elms rise	E
	-
The earth exhales sweet odors nigh and far	F
And from the heavens fine influences fall	G
Familiar things stand not for what they are	F
	-
What they suggest foreshadow or recall	G
The spirit is alert to apprehend	H
Imparting somewhat of herself to all	G
	-
Labor and thought and care are at an end	H
The soul is filled with gracious reveries	I
And with her mood soft sounds and colors blend	H
	-
For simplest sounds ring forth like melodies	I
In this weird lighted air the monotone	J
Of some far bell the distant farmyard cries	E
	-
A barking dog the thin persistent drone	J
Of crickets and the lessening call of birds	K
The apparition of yon star alone	J
	-
Breaks on the sense like music Beyond word	L
The peace that floods the soul for night is here	M
And Beauty still is guide and harbinger	N
	-
	-
II Aspiration	O
	-
Dark lies the earth and bright with worlds the sky	P
That soft large lustrous star that first outshone	J
Still holds us spelled with potent sorcery	Q
	-
Dilating shrinking lightening it hath won	O
Our spirit with its strange strong influence	R
And sways it as the tides beneath the moon	S
	-
What impulse this o'ermastering heart and sense	T
Exalted thrilled the freed soul fain would soar	U
Unto that point of shining prominence	R
	-
Craving new fields and some unheard of shore	U
Yea all the heavens for her activity	Q
To mount with daring flight to hover o'er	N
	-
Low hills of earth flat meadows level sea	Q
And earthly joy and trouble In this hour	N
Of waning light and sound of mystery	Q
	-
Of shadowed love and beauty veiled power	N
She feels her wings she yearns to grasp her own	J
Knowing the utmost good to be her dower	V
	-
A dream a dream for at a touch 't is gone	W
O mocking spirit thy mere fools are we	Q
Unto the depths from heights celestial thrown	J
	-
From these blind gropings toward reality	Q
This thirst for truth this most pathetic need	X
Of something to uplift to justify	P
	-
To help and comfort while we faint and bleed	X
May we not draw wrung from the last despair	Y
Some argument of hope some blessed creed	X
	-
That we can trust the faith which whispers prayer	Y
The vanishings the ecstasy the gleam	D
The nameless aspiration and the dream	D
	-
	-
III Wherefore	Y
	-
Deep languor overcometh mind and frame	Z
A listless drowsy utter weariness	A2
A trance wherein no thought finds speech or name	Z
	-
The overstrained spirit doth possess	B2
She sinks with drooping wing poor unfledged bird	L
That fain had flown in fluttering breathlessness	B2
	-
To what end those high hopes that wildly stirred	L
The beating heart with aspirations vain	C2
Why proffer prayers unanswered and unheard	L
	-
To blank deaf heavens that will not heed her pain	C2
Where lead these lofty soaring tendencies	B2
That leap and fly and poise to fall again	D2
	-
Yet seem to link her with the utmost skies	B2
What mean these clinging loves that bind to earth	E2
And claim her with beseeching wistful eyes	B2
	-
This little resting place 'twixt death and birth	E2
Why is it fretted with the ceaseless flow	F2
Of flood and ebb with overgrowth and dearth	E2
	-
And vext with dreams and clouded with strange woe	F2
Ah she is tired of thought she yearns for peace	B2
Seeing all things one equal end must know	F2
	-
Wherefore this tangle of perplexities	B2
The trouble or the joy the weary maze	B2
Of narrow fears and hopes that may not cease	B2
	-
A chill falls on her from the skyey ways	B2
Black with the night tide where is none to hear	Y
The ancient cry the Wherefore of our days	B2
	-
	-
IV Fancies	B2
	-
The ceaseless whirr of crickets fills the ear	Y
From underneath each hedge and bush and tree	Y
Deep in the dew drenched grasses everywhere	Y
	-
The simple sound dispels the fantasy	Y
Of gloom and terror gathering round the mind	G2
It seems a pleasant thing to breathe to be	Y
	-
To hear the many voiced soft summer wind	G2
Lisp through the dark thick leafage overhead	H2
To see the rosy half moon soar behind	G2
	-
The black slim branching elms Sad thoughts have fled	H2
Trouble and doubt and now strange reveries	B2
And odd caprices fill us in their stead	H2
	-
From yonder broken disk the redness dies	B2
Like gold fruit through the leaves the half sphere gleams	B2
Then over the hoar tree tops climbs the skies	B2
	-
Blanched ever more and more until it beams	B2
Whiter than crystal Like a scroll unfurled	I2
And shadowy as a landscape seen in dreams	B2
	-
Reveals itself the sleeping quiet world	I2
Painted in tender grays and whites subdued	J2
The speckled stream with flakes of light impearled	J2
	-
The wide soft meadow and the massive wood	J2
Naught is too wild for our credulity	J2
In this weird hour our finest dreams hold good	J2
	-
Quaint elves and frolic flower sprites we see	J2
And fairies weaving rings of gossamer	Y
And angels floating through the filmy air	Y
	-
	-
V In the Night	J2
	-
Let us go in the air is dank and chill	K2
With dewy midnight and the moon rides high	P
O'er ghostly fields pale stream and spectral hill	K2
	-
This hour the dawn seems farthest from the sky	P
So weary long the space that lies between	L2
That sacred joy and this dark mystery	J2
	-
Of earth and heaven no glimmering is seen	L2
In the star sprinkled east of coming day	J2
Nor westward of the splendor that hath been	M2
	-
Strange fears beset us nameless terrors sway	J2
The brooding soul that hungers for her rest	J2
Out worn with changing moods vain hopes' delay	J2
	-
With conscious thought o'erburdened and oppressed	J2
The mystery and the shadow wax too deep	N2
She longs to merge both sense and thought in sleep	N2
	-
	-
VI Faerie	J2
	-
From the oped lattice glance once more abroad	J2
While the ethereal moontide bathes with light	J2
Hill stream and garden and white winding road	J2
	-
All gracious myths born of the shadowy night	J2
Recur and hover in fantastic guise	B2
Airy and vague before the drowsy sight	J2
	-
On yonder soft gray hill Endymion lies	B2
In rosy slumber and the moonlit air	J2
Breathes kisses on his cheeks and lips and eyes	B2
	-
'Twixt bush and bush gleam flower white limbs left bare	J2
Of huntress nymphs and flying raiment thin	M2
Vanishing faces and bright floating hair	J2
	-
The quaint midsummer fairies and their kin	M2
Gnomes elves and trolls on blossom branch and grass	B2
Gambol and dance and winding out and in	M2
	-
Leave circles of spun dew where'er they pass	B2
Through the blue ether the freed Ariel flies	B2
Enchantment holds the air a swarming mass	B2
	-
Of myriad dusky gold winged dreams arise	B2
Throng toward the gates of sense and so possess	B2
The soul and lull it to forgetfulness	B2
	-
	-
VII Confused Dreams	B2
	-
O strange dim other world revealed to us	B2
Beginning there where ends reality	J2
Lying 'twixt life and death and populous	B2
	-
With souls from either sphere now enter we	J2
Thy twisted paths Barred is the silver gate	J2
But the wild carven doors of ivory	J2
	-
Spring noiselessly apart between them straight	J2
Flies forth a cloud of nameless shadowy things	B2
With harpies imps and monsters small and great	J2
	-
Blurring the thick air with darkening wings	B2
All humors of the blood and brain take shape	O2
And fright us with our own imaginings	B2
	-
A trouble weighs upon us no escape	O2
From this unnatural region can there be	J2
Fixed eyes stare on us wide mouths grin and gape	O2
	-
Familiar faces out of reach we see	J2
Fain would we scream to shatter with a cry	J2
The tangled woof of hideous fantasy	J2
	-
When lo the air grows clear a soft fair sky	J2
Shines over head sharp pain dissolves in peace	B2
Beneath the silver arc	P2
