The Wood-cutter
The sky is like an envelope,

And, sealing it, to mock our hope,
The moon, a silver wafer, clings.

And lose myself in the infinite love you hold.

I think I never passed so sad an hour,
Dear friend, as that one at the church to-night.
The edifice from basement to the tower
Was one resplendent blaze of coloured light.

Requiring something lovely on his arm
Took me to Stamford, Connecticut, a quasi-farm,
His family's; later picking up the mammoth
Girlfriend of Charlie, meanwhile trying to pawn me off

Is reason to the soul; and as on high,
Those rolling fires discover but the sky

They find a rainbow, a sunrise,
Where others but discern deep night.

Because it dissolves in water. Mark these rounded slopes

Ideas in proximity I've got stability, also a piece of paper in peace with the moves of my pen

I shall not be; I fain would look before
And after, but can neither do; some Power
Or lack of power says “no” to all I would.

It is wise and kind to be somewhat blind,

Your Children
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you.
And though they are with you, they belong not to you.

View From A Height
Sharp wind, towering sky, apes howling mournfully;
untouched island, white sand, birds flying in circles.
Infinite forest, bleakly shedding leaf after leaf;
inexhaustible river, rolling on wave after wave.

Retrospection
I look down the lengthening distance
Far back to youth's valley of hope.
How strange seemed the ways of existence,
How infinite life and its scope!

On The Seashore
On the seashore of endless worlds children meet.
The infinite sky is motionless overhead and the restless water is boisterous. On the seashore of endless worlds the children meet with shouts and dances.
They build their houses with sand, and they play with empty shells. With withered leaves they weave their boats and smilingly float them on the vast deep. Children have their play on the seashore of worlds.
They know not how to swim, they know not how to cast nets. Pearl-fishers dive for pearls, merchants sail in their ships, while children gather pebbles and scatter them again. They seek not for hidden treasures, they know not how to cast nets.
