  :Dreams

  I do not care to talk to you although

  Your speech evokes a thousand sympathies,

  And all my being's silent harmonies

  Wake trembling into music. When you go

  It is as if some sudden, dreadful blow

  Had severed all the strings with savage ease.

  No, do not talk; but let us rather seize

  This intimate gift of silence which we know.

  Others may guess your thoughts from what you say,

  As storms are guessed from clouds where darkness broods.

  To me the very essence of the day

  Reveals its inner purpose and its moods;

  As poplars feel the rain and then straightway

  Reverse their leaves and shimmer through the woods.

  :A Fixed Idea

  What torture lurks within a single thought

  When grown too constant, and however kind,

  However welcome still, the weary mind

  Aches with its presence. Dull remembrance taught

  Remembers on unceasingly; unsought

  The old delight is with us but to find

  That all recurring joy is pain refined,

  Become a habit, and we struggle, caught.

  You lie upon my heart as on a nest,

  Folded in peace, for you can never know

  How crushed I am with having you at rest

  Heavy upon my life. I love you so

  You bind my freedom from its rightful quest.

  In mercy lift your drooping wings and go.

  :To a Friend

  I ask but one thing of you, only one,

  That always you will be my dream of you;

  That never shall I wake to find untrue

  All this I have believed and rested on,

  Forever vanished, like a vision gone

  Out into the night. Alas, how few

  There are who strike in us a chord we knew

  Existed, but so seldom heard its tone

  We tremble at the half-forgotten sound.

  The world is full of rude awakenings

  And heaven-born castles shattered to the ground,

  Yet still our human longing vainly clings

  To a belief in beauty through all wrongs.

  O stay your hand, and leave my heart its songs!
