An Edwardian Sunday Broomhill Sheffield

...come;
But in our arboreta
The sounds are discreeter
Of shoes upon stone -
The worshippers wending
To welcoming chapel,
Companioned or lone;
And over a pew there
See loveliness lean,
As Eve shows her apple
Through rich bombazine;
What love is born new there
In blushing eighteen!

Your prospects will please her,
The iron-king's daughter,
Up here on Broomhill;
Strange Hallamshire, County
Of dearth and of bounty,
Of brown tumbling water
And furnace and mill.
Your own Ebenezer

Companioned

...I walked to-day, but not alone,
Adown a windy, sea-girt lea,
For memory, spendthrift of her charm,
Peopled the silent lands for me. 

The faces of old comradeship
In golden youth were round my way,
And in the keening wind I heard
The songs of many an orient day. 

And to me called, from out the pines
And woven grasses, voices dear,
As if from elfin lips sh...Read more of this...

Hound Voice

...ed trees
And were the last to choose the settled ground,
Its boredom of the desk or of the spade, because
So many years companioned by a hound,
Our voices carry; and though slumber-bound,
Some few half wake and half renew their choice,
Give tongue, proclaim their hidden name -- 'hound voice.'

The women that I picked spoke sweet and low
And yet gave tongue. 'Hound voices' were they all.
We picked each other from afar and knew
What hour of terror comes to test the soul,
And in...Read more of this...

Octaves

...complete communion is the end
Of anguish to the liberated man. 

XXIII 

Here by the windy docks I stand alone,
But yet companioned. There the vessel goes,
And there my friend goes with it; but the wake
That melts and ebbs between that friend and me
Love's earnest is of Life's all-purposeful
And all-triumphant sailing, when the ships
Of Wisdom loose their fretful chains and swing
Forever from the crumbled wharves of Time....Read more of this...

Sestina

...seek my goal.
'Now will I climb to glory's dizzy height, '
I said, ' for there above the common way
Doth pleasure dwell companioned by the skies.'

But when I reached that summit near the skies, 
So far from man I seemed, so far from Love-
'Not here, ' I cried, 'doth Pleasure find her way, '
Seen from the distant borderland of youth.
Fame smiles upon us from her sun-kissed height, 
But frowns in shadows when we reach the goal. 

Then were mine eyes fixed on that glittering go...Read more of this...

Silent Noon

...he sky: - 
So this wing'd hour is dropt to us from above. 
Oh! clasp we to our hearts, for deathless dower, 
This close-companioned inarticulate hour 
When twofold silence was the song of love....Read more of this...

The Last Meeting

...om. 

Quite empty was that house; it could not hold 
His human ghost, remembered in the love 
That strove in vain to be companioned still. 

II

Blindly I sought the woods that I had known 
So beautiful with morning when I came 
Amazed with spring that wove the hazel twigs 
With misty raiment of awakening green. 
I found a holy dimness, and the peace 
Of sanctuary, austerely built of trees, 
And wonder stooping from the tranquil sky. 

Ah! but there was no need to call his na...Read more of this...

THIRD VOICE

Blown far from harbors once in sight, 
May we not, going far, go right,— 
We, the Wise Brothers?
Companioned by the whirling spheres, 
Have we no more than what appears— 
We, and all others?...Read more of this...

Let others choose the fairer path
That winds the dimpling valley through, 
I gladly seek this lonely strath
Companioned by my dreams of you....Read more of this...
