NIGHT IS FALLEN WITHIN, WITHOUT

NIGHT is fallen within, without,

Come, Love, soon!

I am weary of my doubt.

The golden fire of the Sun is out,
The silver fire of the Moon.

Love shall be
A child in me

When they are cinders gray,
With the earth and with the sea,
With the star that shines on thee,
And the night and day.

EGYPT'S MIGHT IS TUMBLED DOWN

EGYPT'S might is tumbled down

Down a-down the deeps of thought;
Greece is fallen and Troy town,
Glorious Rome hath lost her crown,
Venice' pride is nought.

But the dreams their children dreamed
Fleeting, unsubstantial, vain,
Shadowy as the shadows seemed,
Airy nothing, as they deemed,
These remain.

AH, I HAVE STRIVEN

AH, I HAVE STRIVEN, I HAVE STRIVEN

AH, I have striven, I have striven,

That it might vanish as the smoke ;
Angels remember it in heaven.
In vain I have striven, I have striven
To forget the word that I spoke.

See, I am fighting, I am fighting
That I may bring it to nought.
It is written in fiery writing,

In vain I am fighting, I am fighting

To forget the thought that I thought.

WE WERE NOT MADE FOR REFUGES OF LIES

WE were not made for refuges of lies,

And false embattled bulwarks will not screen us.
We mocked the careful shieldings of the wise,
And only utter truth can be between us.

Long suns and moons have wrought this day at length,
The heavens in naked majesty have told thee.

To see me as I am have thou the strength;
And, even as thou art, I dare behold thee.

O THE HIGH VALLEY, THE LITTLE LOW HILL

O THE high valley, the little low hill,
And the cornfield over the sea,

The wind that rages and then lies still,
And the clouds that rest and flee !

O the grey island in the rainbow haze,
And the long thin spits of land,

The roughening pastures and the stony ways,
And the golden flash of the sand!

O the red heather on the moss-wrought rock, And the fir-tree stiff and straight,

The shaggy old sheep-dog barking at the flock, And the rotten old five-barred gate!

O the brown bracken, the blackberry bough,
The scent of the gorse in the air!
I shall love them ever as I love them now,

I shall weary in Heaven to be there!

Chillingham.
