- In Darkness
- Must all of worth be travailled for, and those
- Life's brightest stars rise from a troubled sea
- Must years go by in sad uncertainty
- Leaving us doubting whose the conquering blows,
- Are we or Fate the victors? Time which shows
- All inner meanings will reveal, but we
- Shall never know the upshot. Ours to be
- Wasted with longing, shattered in the throes,
- The agonies of splendid dreams, which day
- Dims from our vision, but each night brings back;
- We strive to hold their grandeur, and essay
- To be the thing we dream. Sudden we lack
- The flash of insight, life grows drear and gray,
- And hour follows hour, nerveless, slack.
- At Night
- The wind is singing through the trees to-night,
- A deep-voiced song of rushing cadences
- And crashing intervals. No summer breeze
- Is this, though hot July is at its height,
- Gone is her gentler music; with delight
- She listens to this booming like the seas,
- These elemental, loud necessities
- Which call to her to answer their swift might.
- Above the tossing trees shines down a star,
- Quietly bright; this wild, tumultuous joy
- Quickens nor dims its splendour. And my mind,
- O Star! is filled with your white light, from far,
- So suffer me this one night to enjoy
- The freedom of the onward sweeping wind.
- Before Dawn
- Life! Austere arbiter of each man's fate,
- By whom he learns that Nature's steadfast laws
- Are as decrees immutable; O pause
- Your even forward march! Not yet too late
- Teach me the needed lesson, when to wait
- Inactive as a ship when no wind draws
- To stretch the loosened cordage. One implores
- Thy clemency, whose wilfulness innate
- Has gone uncurbed and roughshod while the years
- Have lengthened into decades; now distressed
- He knows no rule by which to move or stay,
- And teased with restlessness and desperate fears
- He dares not watch in silence thy wise way
- Bringing about results none could have guessed
