My Garden

My Garden

If I could put my woods in song

And tell what's there enjoyed,

All men would to my gardens throng,

And leave the cities void.

In my plot no tulips blow,—

Snow-loving pines and oaks instead;

And rank the savage maples grow

From Spring's faint flush to Autumn red.

The Lords of Life

The Lords of Life

The lords of life, the lords of life,-

I saw them pass,

In their own guise,

Like and unlike,

Portly and grim,

Use and Surprise,

Surface and Dream,

Succession swift, and spectral Wrong,

The Problem

The Problem

I like the church; I like a cowl;

I love a prophet of the soul;

And on my heart monastic aisles

Fall like sweet strains, or pensive smiles;

Yet not for all his faith can see

Would I that cowlèd churchman be.

Why should the vest on him allure,

Which I could not on me endure?

Merlin I

Merlin I

Thy trivial harp will never please

Or fill my craving ear;

Its chords should ring as blows the breeze,

Free, peremptory, clear.

No jingling serenader's art,

Nor tinkle of piano strings,

Can make the wild blood start

In its mystic springs.

Monadnoc

Monadnoc

Thousand minstrels woke within me,

Our music's in the hills; —

Gayest pictures rose to win me,

Leopard-colored rills.

Up!—If thou knew'st who calls

To twilight parks of beech and pine,

High over the river intervals,

Above the ploughman's highest line,

Dirge

Dirge

Knows he who tills this lonely field

To reap its scanty corn,

What mystic fruit his acres yield

At midnight and at morn?

In the long sunny afternoon,

The plain was full of ghosts,

I wandered up, I wandered down,

Beset by pensive hosts.

Rubies

Rubies

They brought me rubies from the mine,

And held them to the sun;

I said, they are drops of frozen wine

From Eden's vats that run.

I looked again,—I thought them hearts

Of friends to friends unknown;

Tides that should warm each neighboring life

Are locked in sparkling stone.

The Sphinx

The Sphinx

The Sphinx is drowsy,

The wings are furled;

Her ear is heavy,

She broods on the world.

"Who'll tell me my secret,

The ages have kept?—

I awaited the seer,

While they slumbered and slept;—

Seashore

Seashore

I heard or seemed to hear the chiding Sea

Say, Pilgrim, why so late and slow to come?

Am I not always here, thy summer home?

Is not my voice thy music, morn and eve?

My breath thy healthful climate in the heats,

My touch thy antidote, my bay thy bath?

Was ever building like my terraces?

Was ever couch magnificent as mine?

Merlin II

Merlin II

The rhyme of the poet

Modulates the king's affairs,

Balance-loving nature

Made all things in pairs.

To every foot its antipode,

Each color with its counter glowed,

To every tone beat answering tones,

Higher or graver;

The Humble Bee

The Humble Bee

Burly dozing humblebee!

Where thou art is clime for me.

Let them sail for Porto Rique,

Far-off heats through seas to seek,

I will follow thee alone,

Thou animated torrid zone!

Zig-zag steerer, desert-cheerer,

Let me chase thy waving lines,

Saadi

Saadi

Trees in groves,

Kine in droves,

In ocean sport the scaly herds,

Wedge-like cleave the air the birds,

To northern lakes fly wind-borne ducks,

Browse the mountain sheep in flocks,

Men consort in camp and town,

But the poet dwells alone.
