kinsmen she had never known�此�And here she came�察�the foreign girl soon 

found Welcome�察�and love�察�and plenty all around�察�And here she pays it back 

with earnest will�察�By well´taught housewife watchfulness and skill�察�Deep 

in her heart she holds her father's name�察�And tenderly and proudly keeps 

his fame�察�And while she works with thrifty Belgian care�察�Past dreams of 

childhood   float   upon   the   air�察  �Some   strange   old   chant�察  �or   solemn   Latin 

hymn�察�That echoed through the old cathedral dim�察�When as a little child 

each day she went To kneel and pray by an old tomb in Ghent。

                                 DEATH 



    Why shouldst thou fear the beautiful angel�察�Death�察�Who waits thee at 

the portals of the skies�察�Ready to kiss away thy struggling breath�察�Ready 

with gentle hand to close thine eyes�拭�

    How   many  a   tranquil   soul   has   passed   away�察  �Fled   gladly  from   fierce 

pain and pleasures dim�察�To the eternal splendour of the day�察�And many a 

troubled heart still calls for him。 

    Spirits too tender for the battle here Have turned from life�察�its hopes�察�

its fears�察�its charms�察�And children�察�shuddering at a world so drear�察�Have 

smiling passed away into his arms。 

    He whom thou fearest will�察�to ease its pain�察�Lay his cold hand upon 

thy aching heart�此�Will soothe the terrors of thy troubled brain�察�And bid the 

shadow of earth's grief depart。 

    He will give back what neither time�察�nor might�察�Nor passionate prayer�察�

nor longing hope restore。 ��Dear as to long blind eyes recovered sight�撮� He 

will give back those who are gone before。 

    Oh�察�what were life�察�if life were all�拭      �Thine eyes Are blinded by their 

tears�察�or thou wouldst see Thy treasures wait thee in the far´off skies�察�And 

Death�察�thy friend�察�will give them all to thee。

                     VERSE�此                  �A DREAM 



    All yesterday I was spinning�察�Sitting alone in the sun�察�And the dream 

that I spun was so lengthy�察�It lasted till day was done。 

     I  heeded    not   cloud   or  shadow    That   flitted  over   the  hill�察 �Or  the 

humming´bees�察�or the swallows�察�Or the trickling of the rill。 

     I   took   the   threads   for   my   spinning�察  �All   of   blue   summer   air�察  �And   a 

flickering ray of sunlight Was woven in here and there。 

     The   shadows   grew   longer   and   longer�察  �The   evening   wind   passed   by�察�

And the purple splendour of sunset Was flooding the western sky。 

    But I could not leave my spinning�察�For so fair my dream had grown。 I 

heeded not�察�hour by hour�察�How the silent day had flown。 

    At last the grey shadows fell round me�察�And the night came dark and 

chill�察�And I rose and ran down the valley�察�And left it all on the hill。 

     I went up the hill this morning To the place where my spinning lay ´ 

There was nothing but glistening dewdrops Remained of my dream to´day。 



                                                                                      56

     Do   not   crouch   to´day�察  �and   worship   The   old   Past�察  �whose   life   is   fled�察�

Hush your voice to tender reverence�察�Crowned he lies�察�but cold and dead�此�

For   the   Present   reigns   our   monarch�察  �With     an   added   weight   of  hours�察�

Honour her�察�for she is mighty� �Honour her�察�for she is ours� �

     See the  shadows   of his heroes   Girt   around   her  cloudy  throne�察  �Every 

day   the   ranks   are   strengthened   By   great   hearts   to   him   unknown�察  �Noble 

things the great Past promised�察�Holy dreams�察�both strange and new�察�But 

the Present shall fulfil them�察�What he promised�察�she shall do。 

     She inherits all his treasures�察�She is heir to all his fame�察�And the light 

that lightens round her Is the lustre of his name�察�She is wise with all his 

wisdom�察�Living on his grave she stands�察�On her brow she bears his laurels�察�

And his harvest in her hands。 

     Coward�察�can she reign and conquer If we thus her glory dim�拭�Let us 

fight for her as nobly As our fathers fought for him。 God�察�who crowns the 

dying ages�察�Bids her rule�察�and us obey ´ Bids us cast our lives before her�察�

Bids us serve the great To´day。

treasure takes�察�Each one some blossom breaks�察�And leaves it dying�察�The

sighing�察�Then mourn�察�rejoicing heart�察�The hours are flying� �

    Rejoice�察�O grieving heart� �The hours fly fast�察�With each some sorrow 

dies�察�With each some shadow flies�察�Until at last The red dawn in the east 

Bids   weary   night   depart�察�And   pain   is   past。   Rejoice   then�察  �grieving   heart�察�

The hours fly fast� �

fade when you think to grasp it�察�And melt in your hand away�察�But another 

and holier treasure�察�You   would   now perchance   disdain�察�Will come   when 

your toil is over�察�And pay you for all your pain。

the misty future�察�With a crown of starry light�察�An hour of joy you know 

not Is winging her silent flight。

never repay  your   pleading�察�Yet pray�察 �and with hopeful   tears�察�An   answer�察�

not that you long for�察�But diviner�察�will come one day�察�Your eyes are too 

dim to see it�察�Yet strive�察�and wait�察�and pray。

Only the grass's wave�察�Over a mound of earth�察�Over a nameless grave。 

    Did this poor wandering heart In pain depart�拭�Longing�察�but all too late�察�

For the calm home again�察�Where patient watchers wait�察�And still will wait 

in vain。

and   shame。   To   silence   and   decay�察  �And   hide   the   tarnished   name   Of   the 

unconscious clay�拭�

they had gone before。 

    No   matterlimes   have   made As   cool   a shade�察�And   lingering   breezes 

pass As tenderly and slow�察�As if beneath the grass A monarch slept below。
