None dare +Hope for a part in thy despair. + + + + +THE LADY POVERTY + + +The Lady Poverty was fair: +But she has lost her looks of late, +With change of times and change of air. +Ah slattern, she neglects her hair, +Her gown, her shoes. She keeps no state +As once when her pure feet were bare. + +Or--almost worse, if worse can be-- +She scolds in parlours; dusts and trims, +Watches and counts. Oh, is this she +Whom Francis met, whose step was free, +Who with Obedience carolled hymns, +In Umbria walked with Chastity? + +Where is her ladyhood? Not here, +Not among modern kinds of men; +But in the stony fields, where clear +Through the thin trees the skies appear; +In delicate spare soil and fen, +And slender landscape and austere. + + + + +THE FOLD + + + Behold, +The time is now! Bring back, bring back +Thy flocks of fancies, wild of whim. +Oh lead them from the mountain-track-- + Thy frolic thoughts untold. +Oh bring them in--the fields grow dim-- + And let me be the fold. + + Behold, +The time is now!

Theirs are armies. Death is theirs, +The death of innocences and despairs; +The dying of the golden and the grey. +The sentence, when these speak it, has no Nay. +And she who slays is she who bears, who bears. + + + + +THE MODERN MOTHER + + + Oh what a kiss +With filial passion overcharged is this! + To this misgiving breast +The child runs, as a child ne'er ran to rest +Upon the light heart and the unoppressed. + + Unhoped, unsought! +A little tenderness, this mother thought + The utmost of her meed +She looked for gratitude; content indeed +With thus much that her nine years' love had bought. + + Nay, even with less. +This mother, giver of life, death, peace, distress, + Desired ah! not so much +Thanks as forgiveness; and the passing touch +Expected, and the slight, the brief caress. + + Oh filial light +Strong in these childish eyes, these new, these bright + Intelligible stars!

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: +http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + + +Section 5.

Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone.
