As I lay with Head in your Lap Camerado

...ave denied me, than I could ever have been had all
 accepted me;

I heed not, and have never heeded, either experience, cautions, majorities, nor ridicule; 
And the threat of what is call’d hell is little or nothing to me;
And the lure of what is call’d heaven is little or nothing to me; 
...Dear camerado! I confess I have urged you onward with me, and still urge you, without

 least
 idea what is our destination, 
Or whether we shall be victorious, or utterly quell’d and...Read more of this...

The Lay Of The Bell

...sewife;
The mild one, the mother--
Her home is her life.
In its circle she rules,
And the daughters she schools
And she cautions the boys,

...er year. 

Age offers a far comelier diadem
Than theirs; but anguish has no eye for grace, 
When time’s malicious mercy cautions them 
To think a while of number and of space. 

The burning hope, the worn expectancy, 
The martyred humor, and the maimed allure,
Cry out for time to end his levity, 
And age to soften its investiture; 

But they, though others fade and are still fair, 
Defy their fairness and are unsubdued; 
Although they suffer, they may not forswear
