- Will you bring her a heart as strong and brave - As the one she gives to you? - - Else what does it matter if wreck betide; - Or the sun go down in cloud? - It were better for her, this day, you died - Than that Love should wear a shroud. - - It were better far that her song were mute, - To swell forth a later day; - For Love that hath never a constant root - Must fade and wither away. - - So boat sail on, if you be not true; - And maiden, oh hush that song! - For the years that are coming swift to you - Bear a dearer love along! - - - - -MY SHIP - - - One day I cast my lot upon the troublous tides of life, - And ventured all my hoarded love upon its fitful strife. - On one frail mortal like myself I set the store of years, - And freighted well the ship that day with all my hopes and fears. - With all my hopes (for fears were not, upon that happy day), - And never sign of cloud uprose above my sunlit way! - - Ah, me! can life e'er bring again such perfect trust as this, - Such eager hopes, such joyous dreams of ever present bliss? - My ship sailed forth--to many a storm she bared her gallant breast - And still she sails the wide, wide seas, but never finding rest. - One day! Ah, me! 'tis years ago since first I saw her sail, - And sent my prayers and tears for her above the gathering gale! - - Will she come back, my noble ship, and captain brave and crew - Of joys and hopes and high resolves, of love both deep and true? - Or, solemn thought! shall she ne'er find the haven here below, - But anchor in the "silent land," beyond Life's ebb and flow, - Beyond vain fret and fond regard, and strivings e'er to see - The reason why so oft denied our dearest hopes should be! - - - - -AN OLD SONG - - - "Drink to me only with thine eyes, and I will pledge with mine," - I read in this old song, anew, this living love of thine! - The old, old song that in the days now swift and sure are fled, - Recalls its sparkle and its mirth, oblivious of its dead! - - It served to bear as lover's gift all tender thought and true, - It wove among the garlands sweet red roses, never rue! - "Drink to me only with thine eyes," ay with thy tender eyes-- - And read in mine, half-veiled from thee, my own heart's sweet surprise! - - "And I will pledge with mine," dear love, yea, pledge a thousand-fold - The hours of life that thou alone in mem'ry shalt enfold. - Only within thy dark, grave eyes would I be mirrored now, - And only from thy folded lips learn love's own cherished vow. - - "Drink to me only with thine eyes, and I will pledge with mine!" - While overhead, above life's stream, shines out love's star divine. - And life no more is dark and drear, and storms no more may break - Where love's own glorious light shines forth and bids the heart awake! - - - - -TO MISS H., WEARING A ROSE - -(May 13, 1890) - - - O happy rose that bloometh upon her gentle breast! - Of all thy joyous hours, this is, in truth, the best! - Not sweeter is thy fragrance upon the balmy air - Than her pure spirit sheddeth, so blithe and debonnaire! - O happy rose that lieth upon that bosom white, - To thee kind Fate hath granted a goal of pure delight! - In vain I sigh and murmur, thy lot all envious view, - And seek in vain to stifle this moment's pungent rue! - O happy rose, as lying beneath her light caress, - Now whisper to her softly, what I may not confess, - And tell her she is fairer than bloom of earth, to-night, - In that her soul exhaleth all virtues pure and bright! - - - - -THE CLOUD - - - A Cloud scarce larger than a feather - Uprose in Love's bright sky one day, - But, ah, it grew to stormy weather - And shrouded all the sun's bright ray! - - A little cloud! but ah, the sorrow - That springs from bitter words that jar; - How deep the pain from which we borrow,-- - How strong the wall that forms the bar! - - We may in after-hours grow tender - And strive to read our lives aright, - But if to Love its due we render, - We know Life's thread, at best, is slight! - - What if the look, the word, but spoken, - Had been "the last" we ever met? - Ah! Life had been too short, too broken, - Its pang forever to forget! - - - - -SEHNSUCHT! - - - My heart grows faint with longing and with love - As in the twilight comes thy well-loved face; - And closer, closer drawn by threads that bind - Thee to me, all our tender joys I trace. - - In lines keen-cut, and lasting as the stone - When sculptor's art transforms it into life-- - That erst were soulless marble, still and poor - To mirror forth our hope or joy or strife! - - In lines keen-cut! Yea, on my living heart, - (That slumbered 'neath its veil of seeming death), - Thou tracest characters full bold and deep, - And breathest now with life-inspiring breath! - - Thus was Love born! To me, who deemed it cast - Behind me!--with the shadows and the blight - That fell on trusting heart and life and home, - And wrapped my soul in darkest tones of night! - - Nay, but thy Love has waked me, and I live! - For love and life, twin-born, are guests of mine, - Thine eyes have told me lover's sweetest tale, - And tender lips have sealed me wholly thine! - - So, if within the hours apart we walk - Ofttimes in paths that take us from our nest-- - The nest we built with loving heart and hands-- - It takes not from us love nor trust nor rest! - - It takes them not--no hand but ours can rob - Each other of this gift surpassing all! - No hand but ours can bind or break this bond, - And from no other hand but ours can fall - - Blight or distrust, or grief or bitter pain; - And so, my own, in this we builded well - If through life's storm or sunshine there shall fall - No grief or loss our lips may ever tell! - - My heart grows faint with longing and with love,-- - And yet I know I must not keep thee e'er - A tender bond-slave to my amorous will;-- - Such chain as that 'twere ill that thou shouldst wear! - - I would not have thee swayed, dear love, by aught - Thy manhood would disclaim; nor would I hold - Thee prisoner to my clinging heart, howe'er - Its pleading touch would seek to thee enfold! - - Love cannot live where faith and trust are not,-- - Love will not brook a gilded chain to wear;-- - And where the fetters bind, the bird's sweet song - Is hushed--the skies above, no more, are fair! - - But I would hold thee in my heart of hearts - So little prisoner, that thou ne'er shouldst stray - From Love's dear shrine,--but, through the waning years - Our love-life should grow dearer day by day! - - - - -SELECTION - - - Yes, hold me closer, closer in thy arms, - And closer to thy beating heart, that I, - Secure in all that crowns a woman's lot, - May now, with thee, the bitter past defy! - - Yet would I not call down an envious doom - On any of the future's sunny days; - 'Twere ill in me to tempt the Fates, I trow; - But, rather, as one pleading, kneels and prays:-- - - "Stay but thy hand, O Time! and pitying grant - Us of thy sunny sheaves of Harvest Day; - Hours brimmed with sweetness and all glad with love,-- - That, passing on, we scarce may heed the way - - "That erst was strewn with sharpest stones and weeds; - So lead us gently, Time, we may not miss - Aught of Life's joy or of its brilliant light, - Or, missing, crave a fuller cup than this!" - - Yes, hold me closer, closer; let me rest - My head, content, above thy throbbing heart. - Struggle and bay of laurel are the world's; - But this, my own dear Love, the better part! - - Fame and Ambition--lo! do not they burn - With all the lurid light and gleam of earth? - Love, silent and benign, an influence sheds, - And heralds forth in life a higher birth! - - Vain is ambition, yea, or conquered goal, - To bind my heart or satisfy me here. - Then hold me closer, closer to thee, Love; - For this I give it all--hold thou me near! - - - - -LEGENDARY SONGS - - - - -THE MANSION THAT ENDURED - -(This legend, in prose, I found in a French collection, and have -believed it would be acceptable rendered into verse. M. L.) - - - Back, in olden time when emperors - Ruled the land where Tiber flows, - Proud and stern dwelt Gondoforus, - As the ancient legend shows. - - As he mused in hours of leisure, - Came into his brain this thought: - "Straight I'll build, for mine own glory - Here, a palace deftly wrought - - "Of the richest gold and silver; - With the choicest gems bedecked; - That shall on my house and lineage - Still a greater light reflect. - - "Shall outshine the Roman Emperor's - In its beauty and its worth; - Place fore'er his lordly structure - 'Mid the lesser of the earth." - - So he sent his message speeding - To the regions far and near, - That some great and cunning builder - Might at his command appear. - - When, one day, with mien all lowly, - Wrapped about in garments gray, - Stood the architect before him, - His behest to now essay. - - Spoke his will--and Gondoforus - Went forth proudly unto war; - Days and months sped on unheeded, - Still no word came from afar. - - Yet the architect wrought, silent, - Though he touched nor plan nor pen; - For the palace he was building - Was not seen by eyes of men. - - While unto the poor and wretched - Freely of the gold gave he; - Precious stones were turned to healing - Needs of poor humanity! - - Back, returning flushed with victory, - Gondoforus came apace; - Sought, in vain, to view his palace-- - Bare and empty was its place! - - Then he sent, with sternest message, - For the architect, and said-- - "Caitiff, what is now thy showing? - Answer, by thy hoary head!" - - Thomas (he who, doubting, lingered - When his fellows pressed to claim - As their risen Lord, the Saviour) - Spake: "Oh, thou of kingly name, - - "Lo! thy house is even builded!" - But the warrior bade them cast - In deep dungeon him who trifled - With his will--there bind him fast, - - While he planned the subtlest torment - For the traitor's aged frame, - While he doomed, with keenest vengeance, - Him to torture, death and shame! - - But, as in his rage he pondered, - Sleep o'ertook him, held him chained, - And a vision hovered near him-- - Earthly sense grew dim and waned. - - Then the spirit of his brother - Swiftly to his side drew nigh; - Said, in words that thrilled his being, - "He whom thou hast doomed to die - - "Is the servant of the Mighty; - Is an instrument of grace, - For the angels now have shown me - (Where no narrow walls have place - - "And where dwell the hosts eternal) - Reared in all its beauty there, - Lo! a House of precious jewels - And of ornament most fair. - - "Fashioned of the precious metals - Thou wouldst fain have builded here; - Fashioned with a grace and glory - That on Earth doth not appear. - - Thus, in Paradise there standeth - Waiting thee, a House divine, - Which the Architect hath fashioned - All on Earth to now outshine!" - - Then the vision paled and vanished; - Gondoforus straightway sped - To the captive, who awaiting, - Bowed in prayer his aged head. - - Gondoforus knelt before him; - Then the holy Thomas spoke, - As he raised the humble warrior - Crushed beneath the vision's stroke-- - - "Knowest not, O King, the mansions - That endure, are reared on high? - Builded there, for us, in Heaven - By our faith and charity." - - - - -THE CHIMES - - - On fair Lake Como's sunny brink, - An ancient monastery stood - Close to the mountain's steep ascent, - As nestling 'neath its snowy hood. - And there a pale young artisan - His cunning plied; a wondrous chime - He sought to frame, that those who loved - The beauty of that molten rhyme - Within the valley's breadth should hear - Pealing at morn and even clear. - - For years he toiled, content if he - At last might frame a chime so sweet - That pilgrims oft would silent pause - To hear the music glad repeat. - Borne o'er the tranquil waters' reach - And bringing swift unto the heart - - Its tones of warning, praise, and love, - That nevermore should then depart. - Such was the thought he wove, and prayed - That his life's work be holy made. - - The day came when that perfect chime - Was placed aloft, its song to wing - Forth o'er the waters' silent reach - And to the convent's roof to bring - The lost and wayworn traveller from - The busy haunts of world and strife, - Back, where the calm of prayer might prove - The guide-post to Eternal life! - Then was the artisan as one - Whose dearest life-work, here, was done. - - Not so, howe'er! 'Twas yet to be - A lifelong task--a path to lead - Through many a land, in futile search - O'er stony ways where feet should bleed. - Not yet his soul's high guerdon find-- - The prize his hands had placed aloft. - How rarely here on earth we see - Life's morning fill its promise soft. - Not yet was he to find his rest - Beside Lake Como's lovely breast. - - A savage horde o'erran the land - And bore away the prizéd chime; - Afar from peaceful Como's side, - To some unknown and distant clime. - In vain the artisan complained - Beneath a fate unkind; he drew - No comfort from lament or prayer, - For peace no more his hearthstone knew. - Then, as one day he brooding mused - And consolation sweet refused, - - He seemed to see before his eyes - A land outspread, wherein his feet - Should wander, seeking ever there - His loved and lost--his chime so sweet, - He rose at once; he sought no aid; - But bowed his head in silent prayer; - Then from his home he straightway passed - That no one might his purpose share. - And leaving home and rest that day - With breaking heart went on his way. - - Whene'er he heard, in foreign land, - Some wondrous story of a chime - Whose tones were liquid notes of song, - Whose bells rang out a gladsome rhyme, - He journeyed to that storied place, - Nor paused till he should reach the spot,-- - Only to find his quest in vain, - While yet those bells were ne'er forgot. - Each day his soul went up in prayer - That those clear chimes might pierce the air! - - Thus journeyed he for many a year - While locks of gold had turned to grey - Till in a distant land he strayed - And heard at close of summer day - The old sweet song rung by his chime - He long had listened for in vain! - Quickly rose tears in lifted eyes, - Quickly his heart renounced its pain! - "O loved and lost! for many a day - You've called me from my youth away!" - - For now on foreign strand he waits - Alone in age--alone in kin, - Listening as listens one who bides - Outside of Heaven, to praise within. - Not vain his search! not lost his love! - He feels once more the old-time throb - Ere cruel foes his prize had ta'en; - No more may they his treasure rob! - His life went forth in one glad cry - Beneath that far-off, alien sky! - - 'Twas ended--all the tender search; - The hours of pain and sleepless toil; - There, where no loved his hand might clasp; - There, on that wild and foreign soil. - But deep within his heart was writ - His purpose pure; his steadfast search. - And lo! his chime still calls to prayer, - And still peals forth from ivied church. - The bells once blessed by saintly hands - Now call, in Limerick, God's commands! - - My story's done--what need to say - He sleeps as well and sweetly there - Beneath that arch of foreign sky - As in his native land so fair. - He found, ere death had met his feet - The prize he sought with spirit brave, - And finding was content to lie - Afar from Como in his grave. - Love was the goal that led his feet - To peace and deathless calm replete. - - The chimes? Ah, well, perhaps they peal - No less the sweetly that their note - In alien lands the tidings bring; - They still to God their praise devote, - And though their maker no more hears - The liquid music of each tone, - They speak to those whose living needs - Make of the chimes their very own. - Though hand that made is turned to clay, - His work--the chimes--lives on alway! - - - - -FRANCIS COSTER'S STORY - -(I came across this legend, in prose, some time ago, to which was -prefixed this note: "The following exquisite story was written by -Anthony of Sienna, and translated from the Dominican records by -Francis Coster, a famous preacher of the sixteenth century.

Forth from the bosom of the deep - There rose a wondrous chain of towering cliffs, - Clear as the lake upon whose mirror sleep - Light-poised, all tenderly the skiffs; - While rays of light played o'er their polished sides, - As slowly rose and sank they on the tides. - Kissed by the sun they grew; their colors' sheen - Of rose and emerald-touched tips; between - The amethyst deepened to a royal tone - Of purple, and I stood and gazed, alone! - I knew that naught of earth was left save me - To look upon that strange and glorious sea! - And, as I gazed, wild flames leapt up to seize - The iceberg's glow and melt it to their will: - Naught could their hungry rage of greed appease, - While luridly and sullen burned they still, - What, then, does it portray--this onslaught fierce - Of flames upon these sunlit cliffs of ice, - If it be not that Evil seeks to pierce - The armor thrown about the soul's device; - The powers that wage unceasing war, - And ever seek to gain what lies afar - Above them!

The evening takes from night a deeper tone; - Birds on restless wing are wheeling with a grace and strength - their own. - Martins! How your note reminds me of the days so long ago, - In the time when care or sorrow ne'er had touched me with their woe! - - Back your song, this evening, takes me, back within that golden past, - And I seem to see the village--and the spell of yore is cast - Once again about my spirit! Memory brings before my view - Friends and faces long since vanished--sounds and scenes that - once I knew. - - Till the sea-girt town uprises from the mist, in verdure drest, - Borne as jewel in its setting on the grand old ocean's breast; - O'er the waves the bell sounds clearly with its call to evening prayer, - And the martins wheel and circle, now, with swift wing through the air. - - So I muse while twilight summons once again the long ago, - And its clustered memories fill my brooding heart, and overflow. - Youth and love, and hope, aweary in these years have grown and I - Walk afaint in life's rough pathway where erstwhile my feet did fly. - - But I think when Azrael greets me I would fain the hour were mine - 'Twixt the sunset and the even--at the summer day's decline. - So the martins through the ether in their graceful flight should be - Like the harbingers of freedom to the soul from earth set free! - - - - -NEVER AGAIN - - - Leave me alone to my sorrow, my sorrow, - Leave me alone, I would "mourn my dead!" - Never again on the morrow'll he greet me, - Never again, it is said, it is said! - - Never again shall I see him approaching, - Hear his clear voice ring over the lea; - Never again shall his strong arm enfold me, - Never again, ah, woe is me! - - Never again! oh the weight of this anguish! - Never to see him, to hear him again! - Only my heart to my heart can disclose it-- - Never, ah! never--this quivering pain! - - Never again will he wait 'neath my window, - Bidding me join him, as loving he stands; - Never to watch for his coming to meet me - Over the sea from those distant lands! - - Dark are his eyes as is the veiled splendor - Of tropical skies in storm overcast! - Glorious his smile as the sunlight descending, - Full on the earth when that tempest is past! - - Now in the land of his birth though he wander, - 'Neath Southern palms tho' his footsteps rove, - Ever, I know, in its pain and its longing, - Turns his heart's trust unto mine's deathless love! - - Leave me alone to my sorrow, my sorrow, - Leave me alone with life's dreary refrain! - Never again shall I hear his fond pleading, - Listening I hear only--"Never again!" - - We are severed by more than the ocean's vast billows! - We must walk in our paths each alone and in pain! - But our hearts grow but closer, and fonder, and nearer, - Though here upon earth, it be "never again!" - - - - -HADST THOU DENIED - - - So many things, dear Lord, I asked; - So many things that were untried; - So many things I sought, but oh - Hadst Thou denied!

McKinley, Sept. 14, 1901._) - - - The nation weeps, while through the stricken land - Stalks the grim specter raised by traitor hand; - And on the air there rises dire lament - For vigil, suffering and life now spent. - Lo! through the tumult comes that voice of trust - From soul of mortal triumphing o'er dust: - "God's will, not ours;" O hero strong - To rise above the thought of burning wrong - Dealt by a dastard's hand! O spirit bright - Seeing, while here, the heavy cross grow light, - "His will be done; His guiding hand my way!" - That heart, yet bound by racking pain, could say. - The nation weeps. Anger and grief uplift - On high their hands; O from this pain to sift - Some grain of comfort and some thought of rest! - Again those tender words, "God knoweth best." - As man, not free from earthly fault was he, - For mortal man may not perfection see; - But yet, as man, he bore full well his part - And freely spent his wealth of brain and heart. - E'en as we think of him the silent land - Draws near, and dimly by his bed there stand - Lincoln and Garfield, now henceforth to be - With him a martyr-trio grand and free. - The nation weeps; O hearts be comforted! - He needs no more your words, so feebly said; - He heeds no more your thoughts of praise or blame, - For he hath won for'er a higher fame. - Soldier of cross and battlefield, his death - Hath taught humanity that fleeting breath - Of mortal glory here is but a slender span, - And brief, indeed, on earth the life of man! - Dear earth enfold him in your restful arms - And guard him well, though past are all alarms; - E'en though, while now at rest he calmly sleeps, - The nation weeps! The stricken nation weeps! - - - - -IN MEMORIAM - -(CHARLES HENSHAW DANA.) - - _The lilies clustered fair and tall; - I stood outside the garden wall._ - - --_Celia Thaxter._ - - - Life's lilies grew along his way, - In beauty clad, from day to day; - - While music, with her lovely strains, - Led him a captive in her chains. - - And friends with generous hand and thought - Unto his fireside greetings brought. - - "I would have given my life to be - The rose she touched so tenderly." - - So sang the poet, and the tone - Awoke for him sweet strains alone. - - Ah! earthly love, how vain thou art - To still the longings of the heart! - - The Angel Azrael touched his hand, - And life on earth yields the demand; - - No more he stands "outside the gate," - No more hath need to watch or wait! - - - - -IN MEMORIAM - -(M. J. E., OBITT, JUNE 19, 1874.) - - - Who shall separate that spirit from the blessed love of Christ? - He hath called her to Himself for whom the world hath not sufficed. - Pure her spirit upward winging now its swift, untrameled way, - Far beyond our aching vision, enters that serener day. - - Patient, pure, she took the burden of this life unto His feet, - Who hath called His loved and bid them come unto His presence sweet; - All she leaveth, gladly answering her beloved Master's call, - And for her the shadowy valley had no terror to appal. - - Passed unto a life all glorious now a ransomed soul she bides,-- - Ended all the weary watching,--crossed for aye life's troubled tides; - So we leave her now possessing, to the full, Christ's own sweet love, - And one more of life's best treasures lives and waits for us above! - - - - -CONSOLATION - -(INTO LIGHT. DEC. 4, 1903, 4:50 A. M.) - - - "It is all right!" Yes, friend, it is all right, - Although about thee close the shades of night - To human eyes. To eyes that wake to light - It is all right--it is all right! - - "It is all right." E'en though we miss thee here. - For thee are past the clouds, and all the fear - Bred of this life which shall no more appear - To thee as good; because thy sky is clear. - - "It is all right." Kind soul, so bright and true, - We miss thee now, we miss the happy view - Of all that through the days of life here grew. - The old hath passed--for thee hath dawned the new. - - "It is all right!" Thy words, as fell the night, - Before thine eyes had pierced the coming light, - Fall on our ears a benison all bright; - We can but say with thee "it is all right!" - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Contrasted Songs, by Marian Longfellow - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK CONTRASTED SONGS *** - -***** This file should be named 42076-8.txt or 42076-8.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/4/2/0/7/42076/ - -Produced by Greg Bergquist, Mary Akers and the Online -Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This -file was produced from images generously made available -by The Internet Archive/American Libraries.) - - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions -will be renamed. - -Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no -one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation -(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without -permission and without paying copyright royalties.

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 www.gutenberg.org/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.
