Sprung of the father blood the mother brain	A
Are they who point our pathway and sustain	A
They rarely meet one soars one walks retired	B
When they do meet it is our earth inspired	C
	-
To see Life's formless offspring and subdue	D
Desire of times unripe we have these two	D
Whose union is right reason join they hands	E
The world shall know itself and where it stands	E
What cowering angel and what upright beast	F
Make man behold nor count the low the least	F
Nor less the stars have round it than its flowers	G
When these two meet a point of time is ours	G
	-
As in a land of waterfalls that flow	H
Smooth for the leap on their great voice below	H
Some eddies near the brink borne swift along	I
Will capture hearing with the liquid song	I
So while the headlong world's imperious force	J
Resounded under heard I these discourse	J
	-
First words where down my woodland walk she led	K
To her blind sister Patience Foresight said	K
	-
Your faith in me appals to shake my own	L
When still I find you in this mire alone	L
	-
The few steps taken at a funeral pace	M
By men had slain me but for those you trace	M
	-
Look I once back a broken pinion I	N
Black as the rebel angels rained from sky	N
	-
Needs must you drink of me while here you live	O
And make me rich in feeling I can give	P
	-
A brave To be is dawn upon my brow	Q
Yet must I read my sister for the How	Q
My daisy better knows her God of beams	R
Than doth an eagle that to mount him seems	R
She hath the secret never fieriest reach	S
Of wing shall master till men hear her teach	S
	-
Liker the clod flaked by the driving plough	Q
My semblance when I have you not as now	Q
The quiet creatures who escape mishap	T
Bear likeness to pure growths of the green sap	T
A picture of the settled peace desired	C
By cowards shunning strife or strivers tired	C
I listen at their breasts is there no jar	U
Of wrestlings and of stranglings dead they are	U
And such a picture as the piercing mind	V
Ranks beneath vegetation Not resigned	V
Are my true pupils while the world is brute	W
What edict of the stronger keeps me mute	W
Stronger impels the motion of my heart	X
I am not Resignation's counterpart	X
If that I teach 'tis little the dry word	C
Content but how to savour hope deferred	C
We come of earth and rich of earth may be	Y
Soon carrion if very earth are we	Y
	-
The coursing veins the constant breath the use	Z
Of sleep declare that strife allows short truce	Z
Unless we clasp decay accept defeat	A2
And pass despised 'a cold for lack of heat '	-
Like other corpses but without death's plea	Y
	-
My sister calls for battle is it she	Y
	-
Rather a world of pressing men in arms	B2
Than stagnant where the sensual piper charms	B2
Each drowsy malady and coiling vice	C2
With dreams of ease whereof the soul pays price	C2
No home is here for peace while evil breeds	D2
While error governs none and must the seeds	D2
You sow you that for long have reaped disdain	A
Lie barren at the doorway of the brain	A
Let stout contention drive deep furrows blood	E2
Moisten and make new channels of its flood	E2
	-
My sober little maid when we meet first	F2
Drinks of me ever with an eager thirst	F2
So can I not of her till circumstance	G2
Drugs cravings Here we see how men advance	G2
A doubtful foot but circle if much stirred	C
Like dead weeds on whipped waters Shout the word	C
Prompting their hungers and they grandly march	H2
As to band music under Victory's arch	H2
Thus was it and thus is it save that then	I2
The beauty of frank animals had men	I2
	-
Observe them and down rearward for a term	J2
Gaze to the primal twistings of the worm	J2
Thence look this way across the fields that show	H
Men's early form of speech for Yes and No	H
	-
My sister a bruised infant's utterance had	K2
And issuing stronger to mankind 'twas mad	K2
I knew my home where I had choice to feel	L2
The toad beneath a harrow or a heel	L2
	-
Speak of this Age	M2
	-
When you it shall discern	N2
Bright as you are to me the Age will turn	N2
	-
For neither of us has it any care	O2
Its learning is through Science to despair	O2
	-
Despair lies down and grovels grapples not	P2
With evil casts the burden of its lot	P2
This Age climbs earth	Q2
	-
To challenge heaven	R2
	-
Not less	S2
The lower deeps It laughs at Happiness	T2
That know I though the echoes of it wail	U2
For one step upward on the crags you scale	U2
Brave is the Age wherein the word will rust	V2
Which means our soul asleep or body's lust	V2
Until from warmth of many breasts that beat	A2
A temperate common music sunlike heat	A2
The happiness not predatory sheds	W2
	-
But your fierce Yes and No of butting heads	W2
Now rages to outdo a horny Past	X2
Shades of a wild Destroyer on the vast	X2
Are thrown by every novel light upraised	X2
The world's whole round smokes ominously amazed	X2
And trembling as its pregnant Aetna swells	Y2
Combustibles on hot combustibles	Y2
Run piling for one spark to roll in fire	Z2
The mountain torrent of infernal ire	A3
And leave the track of devils where men built	X2
Perceptive of a doom the sinner's guilt	X2
Confesses in a cry for help shrill loud	X2
If drops the chillness of a passing cloud	X2
To conscience reason human love in vain	A
None save they but the souls which them contain	A
No extramural God the God within	B3
Alone gives aid to city charged with sin	B3
A world that for the spur of fool and knave	C3
Sweats in its laboratory what shall save	C3
But men who ply their wits in such a school	D3
Must pray the mercy of the knave and fool	D3
	-
Much have I studied hard Necessity	X2
To know her Wisdom's mother and that we	X2
May deem the harshness of her later cries	Y2
In labour a sure goad to prick the wise	Y2
If men among the warnings which convulse	Y2
Can gravely dread without the craven's pulse	Y2
Long ere the rising of this age of ours	Y2
The knave and fool were stamped as monstrous Powers	Y2
Of human lusts and lassitudes they spring	E3
And are as lasting as the parent thing	E3
Yet numbering locust hosts bent they to drill	F3
They might o'ermatch and have mankind at will	F3
Behold such army gathering ours the spur	Z2
No scattered foe to face but Lucifer	Z2
Not fool or knave is now the enemy	X2
O'ershadowing men 'tis Folly Knavery	Z2
A sea nor stays that sea the bastioned beach	S
Now must the brother soul alive in each	S
His traitorous individual devildom	X2
Hold subject lest the grand destruction come	X2
Dimly men see it menacing apace	Y2
To overthrow perchance uproot the race	Y2
Within without they are a field of tares	Y2
Fruitfuller for them when the contest squares	Y2
And wherefore warrior service they must yield	X2
Shines visible as life on either field	X2
That is my comfort following shock on shock	G3
Which sets faith quaking on their firmest rock	G3
Since with his weapons all the arms of Night	X2
Frail men have challenged Lucifer to fight	X2
Have matched in hostile ranks enrolled erect	X2
The human and Satanic intellect	X2
Determined for their uses to control	H3
What forces on the earth and under roll	H3
Their granite rock runs igneous now they stand	X2
Pledged to the heavens for safety of their land	X2
They cannot learn save grossly gross that are	Z2
Through fear they learn whose aid is good in war	Z2
	-
My sister as I read them in my glass	Y2
Their field of tares they take for pasture grass	Y2
How waken them that have not any bent	X2
Save browsing the concrete indifferent	X2
Friend Lucifer supplies them solid stuff	I3
They fear not for the race when full the trough	J3
They have much fear of giving up the ghost	X2
And these are of mankind the unnumbered host	X2
	-
If I could see with you and did not faint	X2
In beating wing the future I would paint	X2
Those massed indifferents will learn to quake	K3
Now meanwhile is another mass awake	K3
Once denser than the grunters of the sty	X2
If I could see with you Could I but fly	X2
	-
The length of days that you with them have housed	X2
An outcast else approves their cause espoused	X2
	-
O true they have a cause and woe for us	Y2
While still they have a cause too piteous	Y2
Yet happy for us when their cause defined	X2
They	L3
