One Viceroy Resigns

...d I was -- some fool's wife and ducked and bowed
To show the others I would stop and speak.
Then the mule fell -- three galls, a hund-breadth each,
Behind the withers. Mrs. Whatsisname
Leers at the mule and me by turns, thweet thoul!
"How could they make him carry such a load!"
I saw -- it isn't often I dream dreams --
More than the mule that minute -- smoke and flame
From Simla to the haze below. That's weak.
You're younger. You'll dream dreams before you've done.
You've you...Read more of this...

Soliloquy Of The Spanish Cloister

...r
Wise talk of the kind of weather,
Sort of season, time of year:
_Not a plenteous cork-crop: scarcely
Dare we hope oak-galls, I doubt:
What's the Latin name for ``parsley''?_
What's the Greek name for Swine's Snout?

Whew! We'll have our platter burnished,
Laid with care on our own shelf!
With a fire-new spoon we're furnished,
And a goblet for ourself,
Rinsed like something sacrificial
Ere 'tis fit to touch our chaps---
Marked with L. for our initial!

Song of Myself

...n clothes, 
And remember perfectly well his revolving eyes and his awkwardness, 
And remember putting plasters on the galls of his neck and ankles; 
He staid with me a week before he was recuperated and pass’d north; 
(I had him sit next me at table—my fire-lock lean’d in the corner.)

Twenty-eight young men bathe by the shore; 
Twenty-eight young men, and all so friendly: 
Twenty-eight years of womanly life, and all so lonesome.

The Celebrated Woman - An Epistle By A Married Man

...too high
For that terrestrial name is carried;
My wife's "The famous Ninon!"--I
"The gentleman that Ninon married!"

It galls you that you scarce are able
To stake a florin at the table--
Confront the pit, or join the walk,
But straight all tongues begin to talk!
O that such luck could me befall,
Just to be talked about at all!
Behold me dwindling in my nook,
Edged at her left,--and not a look!
A sort of rushlight of a life,
Put out by that great orb--my wife!

The Everlasting Mercy

...an has entered in' 
His perfect city free from sin, 
The campers will come past the walls 
With old lame horses full of galls, 
And waggons hung about with withies, 
And burning coke in tinker's stithies, 
And see the golden town, and choose, 
And think the wild to good to lose. 
And camp outside, as these camped then 
With wonder at the entering men. 
So past, and past the stone heap white 
That dewberry trailers hid from sight, 
And down the field so full of springs, 
Where...Read more of this...

The Farewell

...rey. 
Oh, that they had earlier died, 
Sleeping calmly, side by side, 
Where the tyrant's power is o'er 
And the fetter galls no more! 
Gone, gone, -- sold and gone, 
To the rice-swamp dank and lone; 
From Virginia's hills and waters 
Woe is me, my stolen daughters!

Gone, gone, -- sold and gone, 
To the rice-swamp dank and lone; 
By the holy love He beareth; 
By the bruised reed He spareth; 
Oh, may He, to whom alone 
All their cruel wrongs are known, 
Still their hope and r...Read more of this...

The Land Of Beyond

...gates of the day?
Alluring it lies at the skirts of the skies,
 And ever so far away;
Alluring it calls: O ye the yoke galls,
 And ye of the trail overfond,
With saddle and pack, by paddle and track,
 Let's go to the Land of Beyond!

Have ever you stood where the silences brood,
 And vast the horizons begin,
At the dawn of the day to behold far away
 The goal you would strive for and win?
Yet ah! in the night when you gain to the height,
 With the vast pool of heaven star-sp...Read more of this...

The Park

...The prosperous and beautiful
To me seem not to wear
The yoke of conscience masterful,
Which galls me everywhere.

I cannot shake off the god;
On my neck he makes his seat;
I look at my face in the glass,
My eyes his eye-balls meet.

Enchanters! enchantresses!
Your gold makes you seem wise:
The morning mist within your grounds
More proudly rolls, more softly lies.

Yet spake yon purple mountain,
Yet said yon ancient wood,
That night or day, that lov...Read more of this...
