GRACE BEFORE SONG

Lord God of heaven that with mercy dight Th alternate prayer wheel of the night and light Eternal hath to thee, and in whose sight Our days as rain drops in the sea surge fall, As bright white drops upon a leaden sea Grant so my songs to this grey folk may be: As drops that dream and gleam and falling catch the sun, Evanscent mirrors every opal one Of such his splendor as their compass is, So, bold My Songs, seek ye such death as this.

LA FRAISNE(Scene: The Ash Wood of Malvern)

LA FRAISNE 3(: )

For I was a gaunt, grave councilor Being in all things wise, and very old, But I have put aside this folly and the cold That old age weareth for a cloak. I was quite strong at least they said so The young men at the sword play; But I have put aside this folly, being gay In another fashion that more suiteth me. I have curled mid the boles of the ash wood, I have hidden my face where the oak Spread his leaves over me, and the yoke Of the old ways of men have I cast aside. By the still pool of Mar nan otha Have I found me a bride That was a dog wood tree some syne. She hath called me from mine old ways She hath hushed my rancour of council, Bidding me praise Naught but the wind that flutters in the leaves. She hath drawn me from mine old ways, Till men say that I am mad; But I have seen the sorrow of men, and am glad, For I know that the wailing and bitterness are a folly. And I? I have put aside all folly and all grief. I wrapped my tears in an ellum leaf And left them under a stone And now men call me mad because I have thrown62

, , , ; , . , . , , . , , , , , , , ; , , , . . : , , , : . , , ; , ,63

All folly from me, putting it aside To leave the old barren ways of men, Because my bride Is a pool of the wood and Tho all men say that I am mad It is only that I am glad, Very glad, for my bride hath toward me a great love That is sweeter than the love of women That plague and burn and drive one away. Aie e! Tis true that I am gay Quite gay, for I have her alone here And no man troubleth us. Once when I was among the young men And they said I was quite strong, among the young men. Once there was a woman but I forget she was I hope she will not come again. I do not remember I think she hurt me once but That was very long ago. I do not like to remember things any more. I like one little band of winds that blow In the ash trees here: For we are quite alone Here mid the ash trees.

CINO(Italian Campagna 1309, the open road)

4(. . 1309. )

Bah! I have sung women in three cities, But it is all the same; And I will sing of the sun. Lips, words, and you snare them, Dreams, words, and they are as jewels, Strange spells of old deity, Ravens, nights, allurement: And they are not; Having become the souls of song. Eyes, dreams, lips, and the night goes. Being upon the road once more, They are not. Forgetful in their towers of our tuneing Once for Wind runeing They dream us toward and Sighing, say Would Cino, Passionate Cino, of the wrinkling eyes, Gay Cino, of quick laughter, Cino, of the dare, the jibe, Frail Cino, strongest of his tribe That tramp old ways beneath the sun light, Would Cino of the Luth were here! Once, twice, a year Vaguely thus word they: Cino? Oh, eh, Cino Polnesi The singer ist you mean? Ah yes, passed once our way, A saucy fellow, but (Oh they are all one these vagabonds),

Servant and singer, Troubadour That for his loving, loved each fair face more Than craven sluggard can his lifes one love, Dowered with love, whereby the sun doth move And all the stars. They called him fickle that the lambent flame Caught Bice dreaming in each new blown name, And loved all fairness tho its hidden guise Lurked various in half an hundred eyes; That loved the essence tho each casement bore A different semblance than the one before.

Just a word in thy praise, girl, Just for the swirl Thy satins make upon the stair, Cause never a flaw was there Where thy torse and limbs are met: Tho thou hate me, read it set In rose and gold *, Or when the minstrel, tale half told Shall burst to lilting at the phrase Audiart, Audiart* I. e. in illumed manuscript.

VILLONAUD FOR THIS YULE

Towards the Noel that morte saison (Christ make the shepherds homage dear!) Then when the grey wolves everychone Drink of the winds their chill small beer And lap o the snows foods gueredon Then makyth my heart his yule tide cheer (Skoal! with the dregs if the clear be gone!) Wineing the ghosts of yester year. Ask ye what ghosts I dream upon? (What of the magians scented gear?) The ghosts of dead loves everyone That make the stark winds reek with fear Lest love return with the foison sun And slay the memories that me cheer (Such as I drink to mine fashion) Wineing the ghosts of yester year. Where are the joys my heart had won? (Saturn and Mars to Zeus drawn near!) * Where are the lips mine lay upon, Aye! where are the glances feat and clear That bade my heart his valor don? I skoal to the eyes as grey blown mere (Who knows whose was that paragon?) Wineing the ghosts of yester year. Prince: ask me not what I have done Nor what God hath that can me cheer But ye ask first where the winds are gone Wineing the ghosts of yester year.* Signum Nativitatis.

Drink ye a skoal for the gallows tree! Francois and Margot and thee and me, Drink we the comrades merrily That said us, Till then for the gallows tree! Fat Pierre with the hook gauche main, Thomas Larron Ear the less, Tybalde and that armouress Who gave this poignard its premier stain Pinning the Guise that had been fain To make him a mate of the Hault Noblesse And bade her be out with ill address As a fool that mocketh his drues disdeign. Drink we a skoal for the gallows tree! Franois and Margot and thee and me, Drink we to Marienne Ydole, That hell brenn not her oer cruelly. Drink we the lusty robbers twain, Black is the pitch o their wedding dress,* Lips shrunk back for the winds caress As lips shrink back when we feel the strain

Of love that loveth in hells disdeign And sense the teeth thru the lips that press Gainst our lips for the souls distress That striveth to ours across the pain. Drink we skoal to the gallows tree! Franois and Margot and thee and me, For Jehan and Raoul de Vallerie Whose frames have the night and its winds in fee. Maturin, Guillaume, Jacques dAllmain, Culdou lacking a coat to bless One lean moiety of his nakedness That plundered St. Hubert back o the fane: Aie! the lean bare tree is widowed again For Michault le Borgne that would confess In faith and troth to a traitoress Which of his brothers had he slain? But drink we skoal to the gallows tree! Franois and Margot and thee and me: These that we loved shall God love less And smite alway at their faibleness? Skoal!! to the Gallows! and then pray we: God damn his hell out speedily And bring their souls to his Haulte Citee.

Aye youre a man that! ye old mesmerizer Tyin your meanin in seventy swadelins, One must of needs be a hangd early riser To catch you at worm turning. Holy Odds bodykins! Cats i the water butt! Thoughts in your verse barrel, Tell us this thing rather, then well believe you, You, Master Bob Browning, spite your apparel Jump to your sense and give praise as wed lief do. You wheeze as a head cold long tonsilled Calliope, But God! what a sight you ha got o our innards, Mad as a hatter but surely no Myope, Broad as all ocean and leanin man kinards. Heart that was big as the bowels of Vesuvius, Words that were wingd as her sparks in eruption, Eagled and thundered as Jupiter Pluvius, Sound in your wind past all signs o corruption. Heres to you, Old Hippety hop othe accents, True to the Truths sake and crafty dissector, You grabbed at the gold sure; had no need to pack cents Into your versicles. Clear sights elector!

Sharing his exile that hath borne the flame, Joining his freedom that hath drunk the shame And known the torture of the Skull place hours Free and so bound, that mingled with the powers Of air and sea and light his souls far reach Yet strictured did the body lips beseech To drink: I thirst. And then the sponge of gall. Wherefor we wastrels that the grey roads call Doth master and make slaves and yet make free, Drink all of life and quaffing lustily Take bitter with the sweet without complain And sharers in his drink defy the pain That makes you fearful to unfurl your souls. We claim no glory. If the tempest rolls About us we have fear, and then Having so small a stake grow bold again. We know not definitely even this But cause some vague half knowing half doth miss Our consciousness and leaves us feeling That somehow all is well, that sober, reeling From the last carouse, or in what measure Of so called right or so damned wrong our leisure Runs out uncounted sand beneath the sun, That, spite your carping, still the thing is done With some deep sanction, that, we know not how, Without our thought gives feeling; You allow That tis not need we know our every thought Or see the work shop where each mask is wrought Wherefrom we view the world of box and pit,84

ANIMA SOLAThen neither is the bright orb of the sun greeted nor yet either the shaggy might of earth or sea, thus then, in the firm vessel of harmony is fixed God, a sphere, round, rejoicing in complete solitude.Empedokles

ANIMA SOLA * , , , , , .

Exquisite loneliness Bound of mine own caprice I fly on the wings of an unknown chord That ye hear not, Can not discern My music is weird and untamed Barbarous, wild, extreme, I fly on the note that ye hear not On the chord that ye can not dream. And lo, your out worn harmonies are behind me As ashes and mouldy bread, I die in the tears of the morning I kiss the wail of the dead. My joy is the wind of heaven, My drink is the gall of night, My love is the light of meteors; The autumn leaves in flight. I pendant sit in the vale of fate I twine the Maenad strands And lo, the three Eumenides Take justice at my hands. For I fly in the gale of an unknown chord. The blood of light is Gods delight And I am the life bloods ward.

O Loneliness, O Loneliness, Thou boon of the fires blown From heaven to hell and back again Thou cup of the God mans own! For I am a weird untamed That eat of no mans meat My house is the rain ye wail against My drink is the wine of sleet. My music is your disharmony Intangible, most mad, For the clang of a thousand cymbals Where the sphinx smiles oer the sand, And viol strings that out sing kings Are the least of my command. Exquisite, alone, untrammeled I kiss the nameless sign And the laws of my inmost being Chant to the nameless shrine. I flee on the wing of a note ye know not, My music disowns your law, Ye can not tread the road I wed And lo! I refuse your bidding. I will not bow to the expectation that ye have. Lo! I am gone as a red flame into the mist, My chord is unresolved by your counter harmonies.

IN TEMPORE SENECTUTIS (I) 16

For we are old And the earth passion dyeth; We have watched him die a thousand times, When he wanes an old wind cryeth, For we are old And passion hath died for us a thousand times But we grew never weary. Memory faileth, as the lotus loved chimes Sink into fluttering of wind, But we grow never weary For we are old. The strange night wonder of your eyes Dies not, tho passion flyeth Along the star fields of Arcturus And is no more unto our hands; My lips are cold And yet we twain are never weary, And the strange night wonder is upon us, The leaves hold our wonder in their flutterings, The wind fills our mouths with strange words For our wonder that grows not old. The moth hour of our day is upon us Holding the dawn; There is strange Night wonder in our eyes Because the Moth Hour leadeth the dawn As a maiden, holding her fingers, The rosy, slender fingers of the dawn. He: Red spears bore the warrior dawn Of old.92

Your songs? Oh! The little mothters Will sing them in the twilight, And when the night Shrinketh the kiss of the dawn That loves and kills, What time the swallow fills Her note, then the little rabbit folk That some call children, Such as are up and wide Will laugh your verses to each other, Pulling on their shoes for the days business, Serious child business that the world Laughs at, and grows stale; Such is the tale Part of it of thy song life. Mine? A book is known by them that read That same. Thy public in my screed Is listed. Well! Some score years hence Behold mine audience, As we had seen him yesterday. Scrawny, be spectacled, out at heels, Such an one as the world feels A sort of curse against its guzzling And its age lasting wallow for red greed And yet; full speed Tho it should run for its own getting, Will turn aside to sneer at Cause he hath No coin, no will to snatch the aftermath96

THE CRY OF THE EYES

Rest Master, for we be aweary, weary And would feel the fingers of the wind Upon these lids that lie over us Sodden and lead heavy. Rest brother, for lo! the dawn is without! The yellow flame paleth And the wax runs low. Free us, for without be goodly colors, Green of the wood moss and flower colors, And coolness beneath the trees. Free us, for we perish In this ever flowing monotony Of ugly print marks, black Upon white parchment. Free us, for there is one Whose smile more availeth Than all the age old knowledge of thy books: And we would look thereon.

When I see thee as some poor song bird Battering its wings, against this cage we call Today, Then would I speak comfort unto thee, From out the heights I dwell in, when That great sense of power is upon me And I see my greater soul self bending Sibylwise with that great forty year epic That you know of, yet unwrit But as some childs toy tween my fingers, And see the sculptors of new ages carve me thus, And model with the music of my couplets in their hearts: Surely if in the end the epic And the small kind deed are one; If to God, the childs toy and the epic are the same. Een so, did one make a childs toy, He might wright it well And cunningly, that the child might Keep it for his childrens children And all have joy thereof. Dear, an this dream come true, Then shall all men say of thee She twas that played him power at lifes morn, And at the twilight Evensong, And Gods peace dwelt in the mingled chords She drew from out the shadows of the past, And old world melodies that else He had known only in his dreams Of Iseult and of Beatrice.
