PAGE A STAVE OF ROVING TIM, 1

The wind is East, the wind is West, JUMP-TO-GLORY JANE, 5

A revelation came on Jane, THE RIDDLE FOR MEN, 14

This Riddle rede or die, THE SAGE ENAMOURED AND THE HONEST LADY, 15

One fairest of the ripe unwedded left 'LOVE IS WINGED FOR TWO,' 30 'ASK, IS LOVE DIVINE,' 30 'JOY IS FLEET,' 31 THE LESSON OF GRIEF, 31

Not ere the bitter herb we taste, WIND ON THE LYRE, 32

That was the chirp of Ariel THE YOUTHFUL QUEST, 33

His Lady queen of woods to meet, THE EMPTY PURSE, 34

Thou, run to the dry on this wayside bank, TO THE COMIC SPIRIT, 56

Sword of Common Sense!-- YOUTH IN MEMORY, 68

Days, when the ball of our vision PENETRATION AND TRUST, 75

Sleek as a lizard at round of a stone, NIGHT OF FROST IN MAY, 76

With splendour of a silver day, THE TEACHING OF THE NUDE, 79

A Satyr spied a Goddess in her bath, BREATH OF THE BRIAR, 81

O briar-scents, on yon wet wing EMPEDOCLES, 82

He leaped. With none to hinder, ENGLAND BEFORE THE STORM, 83

The day that is the night of days, TARDY SPRING, 85

Now the North wind ceases, THE LABOURER, 87

For a Heracles in his fighting ire there is never the glory that follows FORESIGHT AND PATIENCE, 89

Sprung of the father blood, the mother brain, THE WARNING, 99

We have seen mighty men ballooning high, OUTSIDE THE CROWD, 99

To sit on History in an easy chair, TRAFALGAR DAY, 100

He leads: we hear our Seaman's call Odes in Contribution to the Song of French History THE REVOLUTION, 105

Not yet had History's Aetna smoked the skies, NAPOL?ON, 116

Cannon his name, FRANCE, 140

We look for her that sunlike stood ALSACE-LORRAINE, 150

The sister Hours in circles linked, THE CAGEING OF ARES, 170

How big of breast our Mother Gaea laughed THE NIGHT-WALK, 175

Awakes for me and leaps from shroud AT THE CLOSE, 178

To Thee, dear God of Mercy, both appeal, A GARDEN IDYL, 179

With sagest craft Arachne worked A Reading of Life THE VITAL CHOICE, 185

Or shall we run with Artemis WITH THE HUNTRESS, 186

Through the water-eye of night, WITH THE PERSUADER, 189

Who murmurs, hither, hither: who THE TEST OF MANHOOD, 200

Like a flood river whirled at rocky banks, THE HUELESS LOVE, 208

Unto that love must we through fire attain, UNION IN DISSEVERANCE, 209

Sunset worn to its last vermilion he; SONG IN THE SONGLESS, 210

They have no song, the sedges dry, THE BURDEN OF STRENGTH, 210

If that thou hast the gift of strength, then know THE MAIN REGRET, 211

Seen, too clear and historic within us, our sins of omission ALTERNATION, 211

Between the fountain and the rill FOREST HISTORY, 212

Beneath the vans of doom did men pass in. Fragments of the Iliad in English Hexameter Verse THE INVECTIVE OF ACHILLES, 221

'Heigh me! brazen of front, thou glutton for plunder, how can one,

'Bibber besotted, with scowl of a cur, having heart of a deer, thou! MARSHALLING OF THE ACHAIANS, 225

Like as a terrible fire feeds fast on a forest enormous, AGAMEMNON IN THE FIGHT, 227

These, then, he left, and away where ranks were now clashing the thickest, PARIS AND DIOMEDES, 228

So he, with a clear shout of laughter, HYPNOS ON IDA, 230

They then to fountain-abundant Ida, mother of wild beasts, CLASH IN ARMS OF THE ACHAIANS AND TROJANS, 231

Not the sea-wave so bellows abroad when it bursts upon shingle, THE HORSES OF ACHILLES, 232

So now the horses of Aiakides, off wide of the war-ground, THE MARES OF THE CAMARGUE, 234

A hundred mares, all white! their manes 'ATKINS', 236
