　　：To a Friend

　　I ask but one thing of you, only one,

　　That always you will be my dream of you;

　　That never shall I wake to find untrue

　　All this I have believed and rested on,

　　Forever vanished, like a vision gone

　　Out into the night. Alas, how few

　　There are who strike in us a chord we knew

　　Existed, but so seldom heard its tone

　　We tremble at the half-forgotten sound.

　　The world is full of rude awakenings

　　And heaven-born castles shattered to the ground,

　　Yet still our human longing vainly clings

　　To a belief in beauty through all wrongs.

　　O stay your hand, and leave my heart its songs!

　　：Mirage

　　How is it that, being gone, you fill my days,

　　And all the long nights are made glad by thee?

　　No loneliness is this, nor misery,

　　But great content that these should be the ways

　　Whereby the Fancy, dreaming as she strays,

　　Makes bright and present what she would would be.

　　And who shall say if the reality

　　Is not with dreams so pregnant. For delays

　　And hindrances may bar the wished-for end;

　　A thousand misconceptions may prevent

　　Our souls from coming near enough to blend;

　　Let me but think we have the same intent,

　　That each one needs to call the other, "friend!"

　　It may be vain illusion. I'm content.

　　：The Fruit Garden Path

　　The path runs straight between the flowering rows,

　　A moonlit path, hemmed in by beds of bloom,

　　Where phlox and marigolds dispute for room

　　With tall, red dahlias and the briar rose.

　　'T is reckless prodigality which throws

　　Into the night these wafts of rich perfume

　　Which sweep across the garden like a plume.

　　Over the trees a single bright star glows.

　　Dear garden of my childhood, here my years

　　Have run away like little grains of sand;

　　The moments of my life, its hopes and fears

　　Have all found utterance here, where now I stand;

　　My eyes ache with the weight of unshed tears,

　　You are my home, do you not understand?
