ears An   organ   boomed   majestic   harmonies�察  �He   only   knew   that   what   he 

saw   was   light�   �He   bowed   himself   before   a   cross   of   flame And   shut   his 

eyes in fear lest it should fade。 



                                    March Evening 



     Blue   through   the   window   burns   the   twilight�察     �Heavy�察  �through   trees�察�

blows the warm south wind。 Glistening�察�against the chill�察�gray sky light�察�

Wet�察�black branches are barred and entwined。 

     Sodden   and   spongy�察  �the   scarce´green   grass   plot         Dents   into    pools 

where a foot has been。 Puddles lie spilt in the road a mass�察�not                  Of water�察�

but steel�察�with its cold�察�hard sheen。 

     Faint   fades   the   fire   on   the   hearth�察  �its   embers Scattering   wide   at   a 

stronger      gust。   Above�察    �the   old   weathercock       groans�察    �but   remembers 

Creaking�察�to turn�察�in its centuried rust。 

     Dying�察    �forlorn�察  �in  dreary    sorrow�察    �Wrapping       the   mists   round    her 

withering form�察�Day sinks down�察�and in darkness to´morrow                       Travails to 

birth in the womb of the storm。

    Leisure�察�thou goddess of a bygone age�察            �When hours were long and 

days sufficed to hold       Wide´eyed delights and pleasures uncontrolled By 

shortening   moments�察  �when   no   gaunt   presage   Of   undone   duties�察  �modern

Dawn fills the room�察�and penetrating�察�bright�察�The silent sunbeams through

sunlight�察�wait� �A lark is singing as he flies away。

     Goaded and harassed in the factory          That tears our life up into bits of 

days     Ticked off upon a clock which never stays�察�Shredding our portion 

of Eternity�察�We break away at last�察�and steal the key          Which hides a world 

empty of hours�察�ways         Of space unroll�察�and Heaven overlays The leafy�察�

sun´lit   earth   of   Fantasy。    Beyond      the   ilex  shadow     glares   the  sun�察�

Scorching against the blue flame of the sky。 Brown lily´pads lie heavy and 

supine     Within a granite basin�察�under one         The bronze´gold glimmer of a 

carp�察�and I Reach out my hand and pluck a nectarine。

oak    leaves�察  �while   the  snow    beneath    Melts     at  their  phantom     touch。 

Another year Is quick with import。          Such each year has been。        Unmoved 

thou watchest all�察�and all bequeath         Some jewel to thy diadem of power�察�

    A  little   garden   on   a   bleak   hillside Where   deep   the   heavy�察  �dazzling 

mountain snow        Lies far into the spring。     The sun's pale glow Is scarcely 

able   to   melt   patches   wide About   the  single   rose   bush。 All   denied    Of 

nature's   tender   ministries。    But   no�察   �For    wonder´working       faith  has

thee�察�makes thee fling         Thy green shoots up�察�inheriting the dowers                Of 

bending sky and sudden�察�sweeping showers�察�Till ripe and blossoming thou 

art   a  thing   To   make   all nature  glad�察 �thou   art   so   gay�察�To   fill   the  lonely

jewelled     with   raindrops。     Always       bold    To    stand   erect�察 �full   in  the 

dazzling play Of April's sun�察�for thou hast caught his gold。

whole   life   long     Your   songs�察  �your   thoughts�察  �your   doings�察  �each   divide

ripen。    So is this     One music with a thousand cadences。
