...he slackened cord along.

For though we never spoke
Of the grey water **** the shaded rock,---
Dark wave and stone, unconsciously, were fused
Into the plaintive speaking that we used,
Of absent friends and memories unforsook;
And, had we seen each other's face, we had
Seen haply, each was sad....Read more of this...

...me
With pulpy figs and wine from Sicily
Stood at his galley's prow, and let the foam
Blow through his crisp brown curls unconsciously,
And holding wave and wind in boy's despite
Peered from his dripping seat across the wet and stormy night.

Till with the dawn he saw a burnished spear
Like a thin thread of gold against the sky,
And hoisted sail, and strained the creaking gear,
And bade the pilot head her lustily
Against the nor'west gale, and all day long
Held on his way,...Read more of this...

Draws near the hunted Sioux, to strengthen and defend.


XI.
'While walking in the fields I saw a star; 
Unconsciously I followed it afar-
It led me on to valleys filled with light, 
Where danced our noble chieftains slain in fight.
Black Kettle, first of all that host I knew, 
He whom the strong armed Custer foully slew.
And then a spirit took me by the hand, 
The Great Messiah King who comes to free the land.

...Dedication 
These to His Memory--since he held them dear, 
Perchance as finding there unconsciously 
Some image of himself--I dedicate, 
I dedicate, I consecrate with tears-- 
These Idylls. 

And indeed He seems to me 
Scarce other than my king's ideal knight, 
`Who reverenced his conscience as his king; 
Whose glory was, redressing human wrong; 
Who spake no slander, no, nor listened to it; 
Who loved one only and who clave to her--'

...e by the rushing brook or silent well. 

But when the Queen immersed in such a trance, 
And moving through the past unconsciously, 
Came to that point where first she saw the King 
Ride toward her from the city, sighed to find 
Her journey done, glanced at him, thought him cold, 
High, self-contained, and passionless, not like him, 
`Not like my Lancelot'--while she brooded thus 
And grew half-guilty in her thoughts again, 
There rode an armd warrior to the doors.

...nk his heart,
And while soft Luxury made show to strike
Her gloved hands together and to smile
What time her weary feet unconsciously
Trode wheels that lifted Avarice to power,
-- And while, moreover, -- O thou God, thou God --
His worshipful sweet wife sat still, afar,
Within the village whence she sent him forth
Into the town to make his name and fame,
Waiting, all confident and proud and calm,
Till he should make for her his name and fame,
Waiting -- O Christ, how keen thi...Read more of this...

...d have been without her and the life 
That he had gathered up like frozen roots
Out of a grave-clod lying at his feet, 
Unconsciously, and as unconsciously 
Transplanted and revived. He did not know 
The kind of life that he had found, nor did 
He doubt, not knowing it; but well he knew
That it was life—new life, and that the old 
Might then with unimprisoned wings go free, 
Onward and all along to its own light, 
Through the appointed shadow.

I think these eyes foresee, 
Now in their unawakened virgin time, 
Their mother's pride in me, 
And dream even now, unconsciously, 
Upon each soaring peak and sky-hung lea 
You pictured I should climb. 
Broken premonitions come, 
Shapes, gestures visionary, 
Not as once to maiden Mary 
The manifest angel with fresh lilies came 
Intelligibly calling her by name; 
But vanishingly, dumb, 
Thwarted and bright and wild, 
As heralding a sin-defiled, 
Earth-encumbered, blood...Read more of this...
