...ights when I was twelve or whether it snowed for twelve days and twelve
nights when I was six.

All the Christmases roll down toward the two-tongued sea, like a cold and headlong moon bundling down the sky
that was our street; and they stop at the rim of the ice-edged fish-freezing waves, and I plunge my hands in
the snow and bring out whatever I can find. In goes my hand into that wool-white bell-tongued ball of holidays
resting at the rim of the carol-singing sea, a...Read more of this...

...umphant! born in happier Days;
Immortal Heirs of Universal Praise!
Whose Honours with Increase of Ages grow,
As streams roll down, enlarging as they flow!
Nations unborn your mighty Names shall sound,
And Worlds applaud that must not yet be found!
Oh may some Spark of your Coelestial Fire
The last, the meanest of your Sons inspire,
(That on weak Wings, from far, pursues your Flights;
Glows while he reads, but trembles as he writes)
To teach vain Wits a Science little known,

..., full and by; but she'll smell her road alone to-night.
 Sick she is and harbour-sick -- O sick to clear the land!
Roll down to Brest with the old Red Ensign over us --
 Carry on and thrash her out with all she'll stand!
 Well, ah fare you well, and it's Ushant slams the door on us,
 Whirling like a windmill through the dirty scud to lee:
 Till the last, last flicker goes
 From the tumbling water-rows,
 And we're off to Mother Carey
 (Walk her down to Mother Carey!),

...g him from where he bore 
Within his arms the form that felt no more, 
He saw the head his breast would still sustain, 
Roll down like earth to earth upon the plain; 
He did not dash himself thereby, nor tear 
The glossy tendrils of his raven hair, 
But strove to stand and gaze, but reel'd and fell, 
Scarce breathing more than that he loved so well. 
Than that /he/ lov'd! Oh! never yet beneath 
The breast of man such trusty love may breathe! 
That trying moment hath at on...Read more of this...

Daih his Ca'line min' de kettle,
Rufus min' de chile,
'Long to'ds night;
An' de sweat roll down his forred,
Mixin' wid his smile,
'Long to'ds night.
He toss his piccaninny, an' he hum a little chune;
De wokin' all is ovah, an' de suppah comin' soon;
De wo'kin' time 's Decembah, but de restin' time is June,
'Long to'ds night.

...the starred bunting of Lincoln and Washington.

This is the hero of the Marne, massive, irreckonable; he lets tears roll down his cheek; they trickle a wet salt off his chin onto the blue coat.

There is a play of American hands and voices equal to sea-breakers and a lift of white sun on a stony beach....Read more of this...

...il-up in the dirt,
 Annoying, etc.

We blast out the rock an' we shovel the mud,
We make 'em good roads an' -- they roll down the khud,
 Reporting, etc.

We make 'em their bridges, their wells, an' their huts,
An' the telegraph-wire the enemy cuts,
 An' it's blamed on, etc.

An' when we return, an' from war we would cease,
They grudge us adornin' the billets of peace,
 Which are kept for, etc.

We build 'em nice barracks -- they swear they are bad,
That our Co...Read more of this...

...t tears, 
dew or tears, 
hanging there for years and years 
like a heavy dew of tears? 

Then that dew begins to fall, 
roll down and fall, 
Maybe it's not tears at all. 
See it, see it roll and fall. 

Hear it falling on the ground, 
hear, all around. 
That is not a tearful sound, 
beating, beating on the ground. 

See it lying there like seeds, 
like black seeds. 
see it taking root like weeds, 
faster, faster than the weeds, 

all the shining seeds take...Read more of this...
