In memory of William Vaughn Moody	A
	-
	-
I	-
	-
Uriel you that in the ageless sun	B
Sit in the awful silences of light	C
Singing of vision hid from human sight	C
Prometheus beautiful rebellious one	B
And you Deucalion	B
For whose blind seed was brought the illuming spark	D
Are you not gathered now his day is done	B
Beside the brink of that relentless dark	D
The dark where your dear singer's ghost is gone	B
	-
II	-
	-
Imagined beings who majestic blend	E
Your forms with beauty questing unconfined	F
The mind conceived you though the quench egrave d mind	F
Goes down in dark where you in dawn ascend	E
Our songs can but suspend	E
The ultimate silence yet could song aspire	G
The realms of mortal music to extend	E
And wake a Sibyl's voice or Seraph's lyre	G
How should it tell the dearness of a friend	E
	-
III	-
	-
The simplest is the inexpressible	H
The heart of music still evades the Muse	I
And arts of men the heart of man suffuse	I
And saddest things are made of silence still	H
In vain the senses thrill	H
To give our sorrows glorious relief	J
In pyre of verse and pageants volatile	H
And I in vain to speak for him my grief	J
Whose spirit of fire invokes my waiting will	H
	-
IV	J
	-
To him the best of friendship needs must be	A
Uttered no more yet was he so endowed	K
That Poetry because of him is proud	K
And he more noble for his poetry	A
Wherefore infallibly	H
I obey the strong compulsion which this verse	L
Lays on my lips with strange austerity	A
Now that his voice is silent to rehearse	L
For my own heart how he was dear to me	A
	-
V	A
	-
Not by your gradual sands elusive Time	M
We measure your gray sea that never rests	N
The bleeding hour glasses in our breasts	N
Mete with quick pangs the ebbing of our prime	M
And drip like sudden rime	M
In March that melts to runnels from a pane	B
The south breathes on oblivion of sublime	M
Crystallizations and the ruthless wane	B
Of glittering stars that scarce had range to climb	M
	-
VI	J
	-
Darkling those constellations of his soul	H
Glimmered while racks of stellar lightning shot	O
The white creative meteors of thought	P
Through that last night where clad in cloudy stole	H
Beside his ebbing shoal	H
Of life blood stood Saint Paul blazing a theme	M
Of living drama from a fiery scroll	H
Across his stretch egrave d vision as in dream	M
When Death with blind dark blotted out the whole	H
	-
VII	J
	-
And yet not all though darkly alien	B
Those uncompleted worlds of work to be	A
Are waned still touched by them the memory	A
Gives afterglow and now that comes again	B
The mellow season when	B
Our eyes last met his kindling currents run	B
Quickening within me gladness and new ken	B
Of life that I have shared his prime with one	B
Who wrought large minded for the love of men	B
	-
VIII	J
	-
But not alone to share that large estate	Q
Of work and interchange of communings	N
The little human paths to heavenly things	N
Were also ours the casual intimate	R
Vistas which consecrate	Q
With laughter and quick tears the dusty noon	B
Of days and by moist beams irradiate	Q
Our plodding minds with courage and attune	B
The fellowship that bites its thumb at fate	Q
	-
IX	N
	-
Where art thou now mine host Guffanti where	S
The iridescence of thy motley troop	T
Ah where the merry animated group	T
That snuggled elbows for an extra chair	S
When space was none to spare	S
To pour the votive Chianti for a toast	U
To dramas dark and lyrics debonair	S
The while to 'Bella Napoli' mine host	U
Exhaled his Parmazan Parnassan air	S
	-
X	N
	-
Thy Parmazan immortal laird of ease	N
Can never mold thy caviare is blest	V
While still our glowing Uriel greets the rest	V
Around thy royal board of memories	N
Where sit the salt of these	N
He of the laughter of a Hundred Lights	N
Blithe Eldorado of high poesies	N
And he of enigmatic gentle knights	N
The kindly keen who sings of 'Calverly's'	N
	-
XI	N
	-
Because he never wore his sentient heart	W
For crows and jays to peck ofttimes to such	X
He seemed a silent fellow who o'ermuch	X
Held from the general gossip ground apart	W
Or tersely spoke and tart	W
How should they guess what eagle tore within	B
His quick of sympathy for humblest smart	W
Of human wretchedness or probed his spleen	B
Of scorn against the hypocritic mart	W
	-
XII	N
	-
Sometimes insufferable seemed to come	M
That wrath of sympathy One windy night	C
We watched through squalid panes forlornly white	C
Amid immense machines' incessant hum	M
Frail figures gaunt and dumb	M
Of overlabored girls and children bowed	K
Above their slavish toil O God A bomb	M
A bomb he cried and with one fiery cloud	K
Expunge the horrible C sars of this slum	M
	-
XIII	N
	-
Another night dreams on the Cornish hills	N
Trembling within the low moon's pallid fires	N
The tall corn tassels lift their fragrant spires	N
From filmy spheres a liquid starlight fills	N
Like dew of daffodils	N
The fragile dark where multitudinous	N
The rhythmic intermittent silence thrills	N
Like song the valleys Hark he murmurs Thus	N
May bards from crickets learn their canticles	N
	-
XIV	J
	-
Now Morning not less lavish of her sweets	N
Leads us along the woodpaths in whose hush	X
The quivering alchemy of the pure thrush	X
Cools from above the balsam dripping heats	N
To find in green retreats	N
'Mid men of clay the great quick hearted man	B
Whose subtle art our human age secretes	N
Or him whose brush tinct with cerulean	B
Blooms with soft castle towers and cloud capped fleets	N
	-
XV	J
	-
Still to the sorcery of August skies	N
In frill egrave d crimson flaunt the hollyhocks	N
Where lithely poised along the garden walks	N
His little maid enamoured blithe outvies	N
The dipping butterflies	N
In motion ah in grace how grown the while	H
Since he was wont to render to her eyes	N
His knightly court or touch with flitting smile	H
Her father's heart by his true flatteries	N
	-
XVI	J
	-
But summer's golden pastures boast no trail	H
So splendid as our fretted snowshoes blaze	N
Where sharp across the amethystine ways	N
Iron Ascutney looms in azure mail	H
And like a frozen grail	H
The frore sun sets intolerably fair	S
Mute in our homebound snow tracks we exhale	H
The silvery cold and soon where bright logs flare	S
Talk the long indoor hours till embers fail	H
	-
XVII	J
	-
Ah with the smoke what smouldering desires	N
Waft to the starlight up the swirling flue	H
Thoughts that may never as the swallows do	H
Nest circling homeward to their native fires	N
Ardors the soul suspires	N
The extinct stars drink with the dreamer's breath	Y
The morning song of Eden's early choirs	N
Grows dim with Adam close at the ear of death	Y
Relentless angels tune our earthly lyres	N
	-
XVIII	J
	-
Let it be so More sweet it is to be	N
A listener of love's ephemeral song	Z
And live with beauty though it be not long	Z
And die enamoured of eternity	N
Though in the apogee	N
Of time there sit no individual	H
Godhead of life than to reject the plea	N
Of passionate beauty loveliness is all	H
And love is more divine than memory	N
