Late October Woods
Clumped in the shadow of the beech,
In whose brown top the crows are loud,
Where, every side, great briers reach
And cling like hands, the beechdrops crowd

Madison Julius Cawein
Venus And Adonis
Even as the sun with purple-coloured face
Had ta'en his last leave of the weeping morn,
Rose-cheeked Adonis hied him to the chase;
Hunting he loved, but love he laughed to scorn.

Either to have gone groping underground
(And taken with it all the Hyla breed

The comfortable green and juicy hay

The pride of the place and its neighbourhood a';
Their carriage and dress, a stranger would guess,
In Lon'on or Paris, they'd gotten it a'.

A Canvas For A Crust

Of those impressionistic chaps,

An Alphabet
A is the Alphabet, A at its head;
A is an Antelope, agile to run.
B is the Baker Boy bringing the bread,
Or black Bear and brown Bear, both begging for bun.

Understand the agonies of the wounded,

The Mason may forget the Word
And the Priest his Litany:

In the vintage liquid runs,

I reply, the ocean knows this.
You say, what is the ascidia waiting for in its transparent

From one whose fiery heart of youth
With mine has beaten, side by side,
For Liberty and Truth;

Through air streaming and green-lit,
Stone farms foundering in it,
Valleys of grass altering

When winter dusk is set with stars?

A white star born in the evening glow
Looked to the round green world below,
And saw a pool in a wooded place
That held like a jewel her mirrored face.

The Ballad Of Pious Pete
“The North has got him.”-Yukonism.
I tried to refine that neighbor of mine, honest to God, I did.
I grieved for his fate, and early and late I watched over him like a kid.

A Pedlar
Fine knacks for ladies! cheap, choice, brave, and new,
Good pennyworths-but money cannot move:
I keep a fair but for the Fair to view-
A beggar may be liberal of love.

The Blue Scarf
Pale, with the blue of high zeniths, shimmered over with silver, brocaded
In smooth, running patterns, a soft stuff, with dark knotted fringes,

Warm from a woman's soft shoulders, and my fingers close on it, caressing.

And from his hot face fades the crimson flush
Veiled in death's herald-shadows sick and gray.
Silent and dark the sombre valley lies

Struggling and groping upward from the brute,

Leaping from out meek twilight's purpling blue
Burns the proud star of eve as though it knew
It was the big king jewel quivering

And now she is cold in the clay,
We think of the heart-cheering image as often
As we pass down the old waggon way.

When I Go Alone At Night
WHEN I go alone at night to my love-tryst, birds do not sing, the wind does not stir, the houses on both sides of the street stand silent.
It is my own anklets that grow loud at every step and I am ashamed.
When I sit on my balcony and listen for his footsteps, leaves do not rustle on the trees, and the water is still in the river like the sword on the knees of a sentry fallen asleep.

He led you through all forms of grief and strife
Intact, a man full-armed, he let prevail

Robinson Jeffers
The Torture Of Cuauhtemoc
Their strength had fed on this when Death's white arms
Came sleeved in vapors and miasmal dew,
Curling across the jungle's ferny floor,
Becking each fevered brain. On bleak divides,

Sonnet Viii
Oft as by chance, a little while apart
The pall of empty, loveless hours withdrawn,
Sweet Beauty, opening on the impoverished heart,
Beams like the jewel on the breast of dawn:

The Freedom Of The Moon
I've tried the new moon tilted in the air
Above a hazy tree-and-farmhouse cluster
As you might try a jewel in your hair.
I've tried it fine with little breadth of luster,

A Dedication
Take these rhymes into thy grace,
Since they are of thy begetting,
Lady, that dost make each place
Where thou art a jewel's setting.
