TO MY MOTHER
Table of Contents
Unuttered songs fly round my thoughts like birds,
And aerially, above an earth of words,
Imagined music on my spirit showers
From azure-feathered throat and golden tongue.
Most dear, of the many songs I cannot sing
Yours is the bird of heavenliest wing
Whose sunward flight beyond my following towers
And leaves me with an impotent harp unstrung.
And yet the shadow of my song for you
Falls on my heart forever as a dew,
Or the dim-breathing soul of evening flowers
That love the delicate light of stars still young.
These lesser songs that all who listen may hear
Shall we call yours for a day, most dear, most dear?—
Knowing there is one other, only ours,
For ever singing, and for ever unsung.

DREAM-SONGS FOR THE BELOVÈD
Table of Contents
I.
They said it was a lone land, a land of many sorrows,
Grey weeping waters and a strip of golden sand,
Loss and desolation and the washing out of footsteps
That dare to treat the narrow golden peril of the sand.
They said it was a fire-land, a land of flaming passions,
The sun like a molten rose in burning sapphire skies,
And never sound nor stir save of hearts that beat their way there
Like southron birds whose wings seek the blue of burning skies.
But I have found a still land of neither pain nor passion,
No loss because no giving there, no gain since no desire,
And the great silent light of the Belovèd's spirit brooding
With the soul of all time there, made empty of desire.
