- | |
Out from the hut at break of day | B |
And up the hills in the dawning grey | B |
With the young wind flowing | A |
From the blue east growing | A |
Red with the white sun's ray | B |
- | |
Lone and clear as a deep bright dream | C |
Under mid night's and mid slumber's stream | C |
Up rises the mount against the sunrise shower | D |
Vast as a kingdom fair as a flower | D |
O'er it doth the foam of foliage ream | C |
- | |
In vivid softness serene | E |
Pearly purple and marble green | E |
Clear in their mingling tinges | F |
Up away to the crest that fringes | F |
Skies studded with cloud crags sheen | E |
- | |
Day | B |
- | |
Like birds frayed from their lurking shaw | G |
Like ripples fleet 'neath a furious flaw | G |
The echoes re echo flying | A |
Down from the mauls hot plying | A |
Clatter the axes grides the saw | G |
- | |
Ruddy and white the chips out spring | A |
Like money sown by a pageant king | A |
The free wood yields to the driven wedges | F |
With its white sap edges | F |
And heart in the sunshine glistening | A |
- | |
Broadly the ice clear azure floods down | H |
Where the great tree tops are overthrown | I |
As on through the endless day we labour | J |
The sun for our nearest neighbour | J |
Up o'er the mountains lone | I |
- | |
And so intensely it doth illume | C |
That it shuts by times to gloom | C |
In the open spaces thrilling | A |
From the dead leaves distilling | A |
A hot and harsh perfume | C |
- | |
Evening | A |
- | |
Give over All the valleys in sight | K |
Fill fill with the rising tide of night | K |
While the sunset with gold dust bridges | F |
The black ravined ridges | F |
Whose mighty muscles curve in its light | K |
- | |
In our weary climb while night dyes deep | L |
Down the broken and stony steep | L |
How our jaded bodies are shaken | M |
By each step in half blindness taken | M |
One's thoughts lie heaped like brutes asleep | L |
- | |
Open the door of the dismal hut | N |
Silence and darkness lone were shut | N |
In it as a tidal pool until returning | A |
Night drowns the land no ember's burning | A |
One is too weary the food to cut | N |
- | |
Body and soul with every blow | O |
Wasted for ever and who will know | O |
Where past this mountained night of toiling | A |
Red life in its thousand veins is boiling | A |
Of chips scattered on the mountain's brow | J |
