This Consciousness that is aware English

This Consciousness that is aware

Of Neighbors and the Sun

Will be the one aware of Death

And that itself alone


Is traversing the interval

Experience between

And most profound experiment

...

This dirty — little — Heart

This dirty — little — Heart

Is freely mine.

I won it with a Bun —

A Freckled shrine —


But eligibly fair

To him who sees

The Visage of the Soul

And not the knees.

This docile one inter English

This docile one inter

While we who dare to live

Arraign the sunny brevity

That sparkled to the Grave.


On her departing span

No wilderness remain

As dauntless in the House of Death

As if...

This Dust, and its Feature —

This Dust, and its Feature —

Accredited — Today —

Will in a second Future —

Cease to identify —


This Mind, and its measure —

A too minute Area

For its enlarged inspection's

Comparison —...

This ev'ning, Delia, you and I English

This ev'ning, Delia, you and I,

Have manag'd most delightfully,

   For with a frown we parted;

Having contrived some trifle that

We both may be much troubled at,

   And sadly disconcerted.


Yet well...

This heart that broke so long — English

This heart that broke so long —

These feet that never flagged —

This faith that watched for star in vain,

Give gently to the dead —


Hound cannot overtake the Hare

That fluttered panting, here —

Nor...

This is a Blossom of the Brain — English

This is a Blossom of the Brain —

A small — italic Seed

Lodged by Design or Happening

The Spirit fructified —


Shy as the Wind of his Chambers

Swift as a Freshet's Tongue

So of the Flower of the Soul...

This is my letter to the World English

This is my letter to the World

That never wrote to Me —

The simple News that Nature told —

With tender Majesty


Her Message is committed

To Hands I cannot see —

For love of Her — Sweet — countrymen —...

This is the place they hoped before,

This is the place they hoped before,

Where I am hoping now.

The seed of disappointment grew

Within a capsule gay,

Too distant to arrest the feet

That walk this plank of balm —

Before them lies escapeless...

This Life William Drummond of Hawthornden English

This Life, which seems so fair,
Is like a bubble blown up in the air
By sporting children’s breath,
Who chase it everywhere
And strive who can most motion it bequeath.
And though it sometimes seem of its own might
Like to an eye of gold to be fixed...

This Me — that walks and works — must die, English

This Me — that walks and works — must die,

Some fair or stormy Day,

Adversity if it may be

Or wild prosperity

The Rumor's Gate was shut so tight

Before my mind was born

Not even a Prognostic's push
...

This Merit hath the worst —

This Merit hath the worst —

It cannot be again —

When Fate hath taunted last

And thrown Her furthest Stone —


The Maimed may pause, and breathe,

And glance securely round —

The Deer attracts no...

This quiet Dust was Gentleman and Ladies

This quiet Dust was Gentleman and Ladies

And Lads and Girls —

Was laughter and ability and Sighing

And Frocks and Curls.

Where Bloom and Bees

This slow Day moved along — English

This slow Day moved along —

I heard its axles go

As if they could not hoist themselves

They hated motion so —


I told my soul to come —

It was no use to wait —

We went and played and came again
...

This that would greet — an hour ago —

This that would greet — an hour ago —

Is quaintest Distance — now —

Had it a Guest from Paradise —

Nor glow, would it, nor bow —


Had it a notice from the Noon

Nor beam would it nor warm —

Match me...

This was a Poet — It is That English

This was a Poet — It is That

Distills amazing sense

From ordinary Meanings —

And Attar so immense


From the familiar species

That perished by the Door —

We wonder it was not Ourselves

...

This was in the White of the Year — English

This was in the White of the Year —

That — was in the Green —

Drifts were as difficult then to think

As Daisies now to be seen —


Looking back is best that is left

Or if it be — before —

Retrospection...

This World is not Conclusion.

This World is not Conclusion.

A Species stands beyond —

Invisible, as Music —

But positive, as Sound —

It beckons, and it baffles —

Philosophy — don't know —

And through a Riddle, at the last —
...

This — is the land — the Sunset washes — English

This — is the land — the Sunset washes —

These — are the Banks of the Yellow Sea —

Where it rose — or whither it rushes —

These — are the Western Mystery!


Night after Night

Her purple traffic

Strews...

Thisbe Helen Gray Cone English

The garden within was shaded,
  And guarded about from sight;
The fragrance flowed to the south wind,
  The fountain leaped to the light.

And the street without was narrow,
  And dusty, and hot, and mean;
But the bush that bore white roses,...
