Two memories；
Two powers； two promises； two silences
Closed in this cry； closed in these thousand leaves
Articulate。 This sudden hour retrieves
The purpose of the past；
Separate； apartembraced； embraced at last。
〃Whose is the word？
Is it I that spake？ Is it thou？ Is it I that heard？〃
〃Thine earth was solitary； yet I found thee！〃
〃Thy sky was pathless； but I caught； I bound thee；
Thou visitant divine。〃
〃O thou my Voice； the word was thine。〃
〃Was thine。〃
A POET'S WIFE
I saw a tract of ocean locked in…land
Within a field's embrace …
The very sea！ Afar it fled the strand
And gave the seasons chase；
And met the night alone； the tempest spanned；
Saw sunrise face to face。
O Poet； more than ocean； lonelier！
In inaccessible rest
And storm remote； thou； sea of thoughts； dost stir；
Scattered through east to west； …
Now； while thou closest with the kiss of her
Who locks thee to her breast。
VENERATION OF IMAGES
Thou man； first…comer； whose wide arms entreat；
Gather； clasp； welcome； bind；
Lack； or remember！ whose warm pulses beat
With love of thine own kind；
Unlifted for a blessing on yon sea；
Unshrined on this high…way；
O flesh； O grief； thou too shalt have our knee；
Thou rood of every day！
AT NIGHT
Home； home from the horizon far and clear；
Hither the soft wings sweep；
Flocks of the memories of the day draw near
The dovecote doors of sleep。
O which are they that come through sweetest light
Of all these homing birds？
Which with the straightest and the swiftest flight？
Your words to me； your words！
End
