As in a Rose-Jar
So, deep within the vase of memory, I keep my dust of roses fresh and dear As in the days before I knew the smart Of time and death. Nor aught can take from me The haunting fragrance that still lingers here-- As in a rose-jar, so within my heart!
The Island
There is an island in the silent sea, Whose marge the wistful waves lap listlessly-- An isle of rest for those who used to be.
For ne'er an echo wakes that towering wall, Whose blackened crags answer none other call Save the lone ocean's rhythmic rise and fall.
Only the song the sea sings as she laves That sleep-bound shore with sad caressing waves, The while the dead sleep sweeter in their graves.
'Tis oh! so still they sleep within each tomb, Cool in long shadows of the cypress gloom, Breathing in death the moon-flower's rank perfume.
They know not when slow barges on the mere Enter the portals of that place austere-- Enter and so forever disappear!
And in this island of a silent sea, Whose marge e'er wistful waves lap listlessly, Is rest,--is peace for all eternity.
You and I
Over the hills where the pine-trees grow, With a laugh to answer the wind at play. Why do I laugh? I do not know, But you and I once passed this way.
