Charity

...forehead, pure and even. 
 There's nothing fairer here below, 
 There's nothing grander up in heaven, 
 
 Than when caressingly she stands 
 (The cold hearts wakening 'gain their beat), 
 And holds within her holy hands 
 The little children's naked feet. 
 
 To every den of want and toil 
 She goes, and leaves the poorest fed; 
 Leaves wine and bread, and genial oil, 
 And hopes that blossom in her tread, 
 
 And fire, too, beautiful bright fire, 
 That mocks ...Read more of this...

Eviradnus

...Zeno, pray come here; 
 Look now—how dreadful! can I help but fear!" 
 Madame Mahaud was speaker. Moonlight there 
 Caressingly enhanced her beauty rare, 
 Making it shine and tremble, as if she 
 So soft and gentle were of things that be 
 Of air created, and are brought and ta'en 
 By heavenly flashes. Now, she spoke again 
 "Certes, 'tis heavy purchase of a throne, 
 To pass the night here utterly alone. 
 Had you not slyly come to guard me now, 
 I should have...Read more of this...

Fame

...owers, how come you here this night
To welcome her with shy and modest eyes,
And dewy faces where the sunshine lies.
Caressingly she bends and kisses them
With warm, bright lips—the royal diadem
Is thrown aside for these few welcome flowers,
And all forgotten is the fame—the hours
Of dazzling triumph; like an eager child
She stands and clasps them in her hands; and wild
And restless are her thoughts; oh! mocking fame,
Where is thy victory now! thy burning flame!

Not Dead

...gh trees to cool my heat and pain, 
I know that David’s with me here again. 
All that is simple, happy, strong, he is. 
Caressingly I stroke 
Rough bark of the friendly oak.
A brook goes bubbling by: the voice is his. 
Turf burns with pleasant smoke; 
I laugh at chaffinch and at primroses. 
All that is simple, happy, strong, he is. 
Over the whole wood in a little while
Breaks his slow smile....Read more of this...

Secret

.... . 
I shall wrap my song in a blanket, 
Blue like your eyes are blue 
With tiny shots of silver. 
I shall wrap it caressingly, 
Tenderly . . . . 
I shall sing a lullaby
To the song I have made 
Of your hair and eyes . . . 
And you will never know 
That deep in my heart
I shelter a song of you
Secretly . . . . ...Read more of this...

The Hands of the Betrothed

...ble, to settle 
Upon me like sleeping birds, like birds that shift 
Uneasily in their sleep, disturbing my mettle.

How caressingly she lays her hand on my knee, 
How strangely she tries to disown it, as it sinks 
In my flesh and bone and forages into me, 
How it stirs like a subtle stoat, whatever she thinks!

And often I see her clench her fingers tight
And thrust her fists suppressed in the folds of her skirt; 
And sometimes, how she grasps her arms with her bright
Big han...Read more of this...

The Hound of Heaven

...Home.
Rise, clasp my hand, and come.
Halts by me that Footfall.
Is my gloom, after all,
Shade of His hand, outstretched caressingly?
Ah, Fondest, Blindest, Weakest,
I am He whom thou seekest.
Thou dravest Love from thee who dravest Me....Read more of this...
