From the Book - Expanded edition.
Who stands, the crux left of the watershed --
From the very first coming down --
Control of the passes was, he saw, the key --
Taller to-day, we remember similar evenings --
Watch any day his nonchalant pauses, see --
Will you turn a deaf ear --
Sir, no man's enemy, forgiving all --
It was Easter as I walked in the public gardens --
Since you are going to begin to-day --
Consider this and in our time --
This lunar beauty --
To ask the hard question is simple --
Doom is dark and deeper than any sea-dingle --
What's in your mind, my dove, my coney --
"O where are you going?" said reader to rider --
Though aware of our rank and alert to obey orders --
O Love, the interest itself in thoughtless Heaven --
O what is that sound which so thrills the ear --
Hearing of harvests rotting in the valleys --
Out on the lawn I lie in bed --
A shilling life will give you all the facts --
Our hunting fathers told the story --
Easily, my dear, you move, easily your head --
The Summer holds: upon its glittering lake --
Now through night's caressing grip --
O for doors to be open and an invite with gilded edges --
Look, stranger, at this island now --
Now the leaves are falling fast --
Underneath the abject willow --
Dear, though the night is gone --
