brain�察 �irresistibly pleading�察 �Full´blossomed�察 �deep´bosomed�察 �fain woman�察�
light´ footed�察�lute´throated and fleet�察�We have drunk of the wine of
this Wanderer's song�察 �let us follow his feet� �
Like raveled red girdles flung down by some hoidenish goddess
in mirth The tangled roads reach from rim unto utter´ most rim of the
earth We will weave of these strands a strong net�察�we will snare the
bright wings of delight�察�We will make of these strings a sweet lute that
will shame the low wind´harps of night。
The clamor of tongues and the clangor of trades in the peevish
packed street�察 �The arrogant�察 �jangling Nothings�察 �with iterant�察 �dis´
sonant beat�察 �The clattering�察 �senseless endeavor with dross of mere
gold for its goal�察 �These have sickened the senses and wearied the
brain and straitened the soul。
;Come forth and be cleansed of the folly of strife for things
worthless of strife�察 �Come forth and gain life and grasp God by fore´
going gains worthless of life;
It was thus spake the wizard wildwood�察 �low´ voiced to the
hearkening heart�察�It was thus sang the jovial hills�察�and the harper sun
bore part。
O woman�察�whose blood as my blood with the fire of the Spring is
aflame�察�We did well�察�when the red roads called�察�that we heeded the
call and came Came forth to the sweet wise silence where soul may
speak sooth unto soul�察�Vine´wreathed and vagabond Love�察�with the goal

DREAMS & DUST
of Nowhere for our goal� �
What planet´crowned Dusk that wanders the steeps of our
firmament there Hath gems that may match with the dew´opals
meshed in thine opulent hair�拭 �What wind´witch that skims the curled
billows with feet they are fain to caress Hath sandals so wing'd as
thine art with a god´ like carelessness�拭�
And dare we not dream this is heaven��to wan´ der thus on�察�ever
on。 Through the hush´heavy valleys of space�察 �up the flushing red
slopes of the dawn�拭 �For none that seeks rest shall find rest till he
ceaseth his striving for rest�察�And the gain of the quest is the joy of the road
that allures to the quest。
THE LAND OF YESTERDAY
AND I would seek the country town Amid green meadows nestled
down If I could only find the way Back to the Land of Yesterday� �
How I would thrust the miles aside�察 �Rush up the quiet lane�察 �and
then�察�Just where her roses laughed in pride�察 �Find her among the flowers
again。 I'd slip in silently and wait Until she saw me by the gate�察 �And
then 。 。 。 read through a blur of tears Quick pardon for the selfish years。
This time�察�this time�察�I would not wait For that brief wire that said�察�Too
late� �If I could only find the way Into the Land of Yesterday。
I wonder if her roses yet Lift up their heads and laugh with pride�察�
And if her phlox and mignonette Have heart to blossom by their side�察�I
wonder if the dear old lane Still chirps with robins after rain�察�And if the
birds and banded bees Still rob her early cherry´trees。 。 。 。
I wonder�察�if I went there now�察�How everything would seem�察�and how
But no� �not now�察�there is no way Back to the Land of Yesterday。
OCTOBER
CEASE to call him sad and sober�察�Merriest of months�察�October� �Patron
of the bursting bins�察�Reveler in wayside inns�察�I can nowhere find a trace
Of the pensive in his face�察�There is mingled wit and folly�察�But the madcap
lacks the grace Of a thoughtful melancholy。 Spendthrift of the seasons'
gold�察�How he flings and scatters out Treasure filched from summer´time� �
Never ruffling squire of old Better loved a tavern bout When Prince Hal

was in his prime。 Doublet slashed with gold and green�察�Cloak of crimson�察�
changeful sheen�察 �Of the dews that gem his breast�察 �Frosty lace about his
throat�察�
Scarlet plumes that flaunt and float Backward in a gay unrest
Where's another gallant drest With such tricksy gaiety�察 �Such unlessoned
vanity�拭�With his amber afternoons And his pendant poets' moons With
his twilights dashed with rose From the red´lipped afterglows With his
vocal airs at dawn Breathing hints of Helicon Bacchanalian bees that sip
Where his cider´presses drip With the winding of the horn Where his
huntsmen meet the morn With his every piping breeze Shaking from
familiar trees Apples of Hesperides With the chuckle�察�chirp�察�and trill Of
his jolly brooks that spill Mirth in tangled madrigals Down pebble´dappled
waterfalls ��Brooks that laugh and make escape Through wild arbors
where the grape
Purples with a promise of Racy vintage rare as love�� With his merry�察�
wanton air�察 �Mirth and vanity and folly Why should he be made to bear
Burden of some melancholy Song that swoons and sinks with care�拭�Cease
to call him sad or sober�察�He's a jolly dog�察�October� �
CHANT OF THE CHANGING HOURS
THE Hours passed by�察 �a fleet�察 �confused crowd�察 �With wafture of
blown garments bright as fire�察�Light�察�light of foot and laughing�察�morning´
browed�察 �And where they trod the jonquil and the briar Thrilled into
jocund life�察�the dreaming dells Waked to a morrice chime of jostled bells�察�
´ They danced� �they danced� �to piping such as flings The garnered
music of a million Springs Into one single�察 �keener ecstasy�察 �One
paused and shouted to my questionings�此 �Lo�察 �I am Youth�察 �I bid thee
follow me� ─�
The Hours passed by�察 �they paced�察 �great lords and proud�察�
Crowned on with sunlight�察 �robed in rich attire�察 �Before their conquering
word the brute deed bowed�察 �And Ariel fancies served their
large desire�察�
They spake�察�and roused the mused soul that dwells In dust�察�or�察�smiling�察�
shaped new heavens and hells�察 �Dethroned old gods and made

blind beggars kings�此 �And what art thou�察─ �I cried to one�察 �that brings
His mistress�察�for a brooch�察�the Galaxy�拭─ �I am the plumed Thought that
soars and sings�此 �Lo�察�I am Song�察�I bid thee follow me� ─�
The Hours passed by�察 �with veiled eyes endowed Of dream�察 �and
parted lips that scarce suspire�察 �To breathing dusk and arrowy moonlight
vowed�察 �South wind and shadowy grove and murmuring lyre�察�
Swaying they moved�察�as drows'd of wizard spells Or tranc'd with sight of
recent miracles�察�And yet they trembled�察�down their folded wings Quivered
the hint of sweet withholden things�察 �Ah�察�bitter´sweet in their intensity� �
One paused and said unto my wonderings�此 �Lo�察�I am Love�察�I bid thee
follow me� ─�
The Hours passed by�察�through huddled cities loud With witless hate
and stale with stinking mire�此�
So cowled monks might march with bier and shroud Down streets
plague´spotted toward some cleans´ ing pyre�察 �Yet�察 �lo� �strange
lilies bloomed in lightless cells�察�And passionate spirits burst their clayey
shells And sang the stricken hope that bleeds and clings�此 �Earth's
bruised heart beat in the throbbing strings�察 �And joy still struggled
through the threnody� �One stern Hour said unto my marvelings�此 �Lo�察�I
am Life�察�I bid thee follow me� ─�
The Hours passed by�察 �the stumbling hours and cowed�察�
Uncertain�察�prone to tears and childish ire�察�The wavering hours that drift
like any cloud At whim of winds or fortunate or dire�察 �The feeble
shapes that any chance expells�察�Their wisdom useless�察�lacking the blood
that swells The tensed vein�此�the hot�察�swift tide that stings With life。 Ah�察�
wise� �but naked to the slings Of fate�察�and plagued of youthful memory� �
A cracked voice broke upon my pityings�此 �Lo�察 �I am Age�察 �I bid thee
follow me� ─�
Ah�察�Youth� �we dallied by the babbling wells Where April all her lyric
secret tells�察�Ah�察 �Song� �we sped our bold imaginings As far as yon red
planet's triple rings�察 �O Life� �O Love� �I followed�察 �followed thee� �
There waits one word to end my journeyings�此 �Lo�察�I am Death�察�I bid
thee follow me� ─�
