Within these walls a constant thought.

Shut out the light; thicken the heavy air
With drowsy incense; let a distant stream

In School-days
Still sits the school-house by the road,
A ragged beggar sleeping;
Around it still the sumachs grow,
And blackberry-vines are creeping.

By a sure voice that can most sweetly tell,
How far off yet a glimpse of morning light,
And if to lure the truant back be well,

The Scholars
"Oh, show me how a rose can shut and be a bud again!"

And entered them at the landward schools as though no war had been.

Used her, but was a ruthless watcher, and the band

Sail slowly northward in the soft-hued sky,
With blur half-tints and rolling summits bright,
By the late sun caressed; slight hazes shroud

For there the flags of hate are furled,
And there the imps of wickedness
Cause neither sorrow nor distress.

The Trail Of Ninety-eight
Gold! We leapt from our benches. Gold! We sprang from our stools.
Gold! We wheeled in the furrow, fired with the faith of fools.
Fearless, unfound, unfitted, far from the night and the cold,
Heard we the clarion summons, followed the master-lure-Gold!

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.

As men walked up and down the street. Wino men, old men.
Young men sharp as mustard.

yearning upwards. And since we will be horizontal

Again the merchant ploughs the tumid wave;
Another spring renews the soldier's toil,
And finds me vacant in the rural cave.

All stops as if no bird was anywhere.
