I am loath - To find that music, large in my soul’s ear, - Should stop my fancy, hold my heart in prize, - And make me dreamer more than dreams are wise. - - -HER FAITH. - - Because my faltering feet will fail to dare - The downward of the endless steps of Hell, - Give me the word in time that triumphs there. - - I too must go into the dreadful hollow, - Where all our human laughter stops--and hark! - The tiny stuffless voices of the dark - Have called me, called me till I needs must follow. - - Give me the word, and I’ll attempt it well. - - Say it’s the little winking of an eye, - Which in that issue is uncurtained quite. - A little sleep that helps a moment by - Between the thin dawn and the large daylight. - Oh! tell me more than yet was hoped of men, - Swear that’s true now, and I’ll believe it then. - - -HER GIFT IN A GARDEN. - - Not for the luckless buds our roots may bear, - Now quite in bloom, now seared and cankered lying, - Will I entreat you, lest they should compare - My sad mortality with the fall of flowers; - But hold with me your chaste communion rare, - And touch with life this mortal case of ours. - For you were born beyond the power of dying: - I die as bounded things die everywhere. - - You’re full companionship, I’m silence lonely; - You’re stuff, I’m void; you’re living, I’m decay. - I fall, I think, to twilight ending only, - You lift, I know, to never-ending day. - And knowing living gift was life for me, - In narrow room of rhyme, I fixed it certainly. - - -THE CHECK. - - Shall any man for whose dear love another - Has thrown away his wealth and name in one, - Shall he turn scoffer of a more than brother, - To mock his needs when his desires are done? - Or shall a low-born boy whose mother won him - In great men great concerns his little place, - Turn, when his farthing honours come upon him, - To note her yeoman air and conscious grace? - - Then mock me as you do my narrow scope, - For you it was put out this light of mine, - Traitrously wrecked my new adventured hope, - Wasted my wordy wealth, spilt my rich wine, - Made my square ship within a league of shore, - Alas! to be entombed in seas and seen no more. - - -THE POOR OF LONDON. - - Almighty God, whose Justice, like a sun - Shall coruscate along the floors of heaven: - Raising what’s low, perfecting what’s undone, - Breaking the proud, and making odd things even. - The Poor of Jesus Christ along the street - In your rain sodden, in your snows unshod, - They have nor hearth, nor roof, nor daily meat, - Nor even the bread of men; Almighty God. - - The Poor of Jesus Christ whom no man hears - Have called upon your vengeance much too long. - Wipe out not tears but blood: our eyes bleed tears: - Come, smite our damnéd sophistries so strong, - That thy rude hammer battering this rude wrong - Ring down the abyss of twice ten thousand years. - - - - -GROTESQUES. - - -NOËL. - - I. - - On a winter’s night long time ago - (_The bells ring loud and the bells ring low_), - When high howled wind, and down fell snow - (Carillon, Carilla). - Saint Joseph he and Nostre Dame, - Riding on an ass, full weary came - From Nazareth into Bethlehem. - And the small child Jesus smile on you. - - II. - - And Bethlehem inn they stood before - (_The bells ring less and the bells ring more_), - The landlord bade them begone from his door - (Carillon, Carilla). - “Poor folk” (says he) “must lie where they may, - For the Duke of Jewry comes this way, - With all his train on a Christmas Day.” - And the small child Jesus smile on you. - - III. - - Poor folk that may my carol hear - (_The bells ring single and the bells ring clear_), - See! God’s one Child had hardest cheer! - (Carillon, Carilla). - Men grown hard on a Christmas morn; - The dumb beast by and a babe forlorn. - It was very, very cold when our Lord was born. - And the small child Jesus smile on you. - - IV. - - Now these were Jews as Jews must be - (_The bells ring wild and the bells ring free!_), - But Christian men in a band are we - (Carillon, Carilla). - Empty we go and ill bedight, - Singing Noël on a winter’s night; - Give us to sup by the warm firelight. - And the small child Jesus smile on you. - - -THE EARLY MORNING. - - The Moon on the one hand, the Dawn on the other; - The Moon is my sister, the Dawn is my brother. - The Moon on my left, and the Dawn on my right; - My Brother, good morning; my Sister, good night. - - -AUVERGNAT. - - There was a man was half a clown - (It’s so, my father tells of it), - He saw the church in Clermont Town, - And laughed to hear the bells of it. - - He laughed to hear the bells that ring - In Clermont Church and round of it; - He heard the verger’s daughter sing, - And loved her for the sound of it. - - The verger’s daughter said him nay - (She had the right of choice in it); - He left the town at break of day - (He hadn’t had a voice in it). - - The road went up, the road went down, - And there the matter ended it; - He broke his heart in Clermont Town, - At Pontgibaud they mended it. - - -THE WORLD’S END. - - The clouds are high and the skies are wide - (_It’s a weary way to the world’s end_). - I hear the wind upon a hillside - (_Over the hills, away_). - - Over the hills and over the sea - (_It’s a weary way to the world’s end_). - The woman alone is a-calling me - (_Over the hills, away_). - - Beyond the rim of the rising moon - (_It’s a weary way to the world’s end_). - He’s back too late who starts too soon - (_Over the hills, away_). - - He’s wise, and he laughs who loves to roam - (_It’s a weary way to the world’s end_); - He’s wise and he cries the when he comes home - (_Over the hills, away_). - - Woman alone, and all alone - (_It’s a weary way to the world’s end_). - I’ll just be sitting at home, my own, - The world’s a weary way. - - -FILLE-LA-HAINE. - - Death went into the steeple to ring, - And he pulled the rope and he tolled a knell. - Fille-la-Haine, how well you sing! - Why are they ringing the Passing Bell? - _Death went into the steeple to ring; - Fille-la-Haine, how well you sing!_ - - Death went down the stream in a boat, - Down the river of Seine went he; - Fille-la-Haine had a pain in her throat, - Fille-la-Haine was nothing to me. - _Death went down the stream in a boat; - Fille-la-Haine had a pain in her throat._ - - Death went up the hill in a cart - (I have forgotten her lips and her laughter). - Fille-la-Haine was my sweetheart - (And all the village was following after). - _Death went up the hill in a cart; - Fille-la-Haine was my sweetheart._ - - -THE MOON’S FUNERAL. - - The Moon is dead. I saw her die. - She in a drifting cloud was drest, - She lay along the uncertain west, - A dream to see. - And very low she spake to me: - “I go where none may understand, - I fade into the nameless land, - And there must lie perpetually.” - And therefore I, - And therefore loudly, loudly I - And high - And very piteously make cry: - “The Moon is dead. I saw her die.” - And will she never rise again? - The Holy Moon? Oh, never more! - Perhaps along the inhuman shore - Where pale ghosts are - Beyond the far lethean fen - She and some wide infernal star-- - To us who loved her never more, - The Moon will never rise again. - Oh! never more in nightly sky - Her eye so high shall peep and pry - To see the great world rolling by. - For why? - The Moon is dead. I saw her die. - - -THE JUSTICE OF THE PEACE. - - Distinguish carefully between these two, - This thing is yours, that other thing is mine. - You have a shirt, a brimless hat, a shoe - And half a coat. I am the Lord benign - Of fifty hundred acres of fat land - To which I have a right. You understand? - - I have a right because I have, because, - Because I have--because I have a right. - Now be quite calm and good, obey the laws, - Remember your low station, do not fight - Against the goad, because, you know, it pricks - Whenever the uncleanly demos kicks. - - I do not envy you your hat, your shoe. - Why should you envy me my small estate? - It’s fearfully illogical in you - To fight with economic force and fate. - Moreover, I have got the upper hand, - And mean to keep it. Do you understand? - - - - -EPIGRAMS. - - -ON PERKINS--AN ACTOR. - - Perkins’ Duchesses have marked a great - Improvement in his coster scene of late. - He gives the oath, the drunken lurch, the roar, - As even Perkins never did before. - And yet, the model is not far to seek-- - Perkins was visiting at home last week. - - -ON SLOP--A POET. - - Where Mr. Slop particularly shines - Is in his six sonorous single lines. - Perhaps where he is less successful is - In all the other verses. These are his. - - -ON TORTURE--A SINGER. - - Torture has such an ear, I understand - He pays large sums to stop a German Band. - The public taste is quite a different thing, - Torture is positively paid to sing. - - -ON SUBTLE--A REVIEWER. - - Subtle--your keen analysis and nice, - Like everything about you, has its price. - When you express your owner’s private spite - A Pound rewards the virulence you write. - A Pound should therefore buy your praise; well, then, - Why should the Author have to pay you ten? - - -ON PAUNCH--A PARASITE. - - Paunch talks about his Lady to excess, - And then about his curious Patroness, - And then he talks about himself, and then - We turn the conversation on to men. - - -ON PUGLEY--A DON. - - Pugley denies the soul? Why, so do I - The soul, of Pugley, heartily deny. - - - - -SONNETS OF THE TWELVE MONTHS. - - -JANUARY. - - It freezes. All across a soundless sky - The birds go home. The horrible dark’s begun: - The frozen dark that hopes not for a sun; - The ultimate dark wherein our race shall die. - - Death, with his evil finger to his lip, - Leers in at human windows, turning spy - To learn the country where his rule shall lie - When he achieves perpetual generalship. - - The undefeated enemy--the chill-- - Which shall benumb the voiceful earth at last, - Is master of our moment, and has bound - The viewless wind itself. There is no sound. - It freezes. Every friendly stream is fast. - It freezes; and the graven twigs are still. - - -FEBRUARY. - - The winter moon has such a quiet car - That all the winter nights are dumb with rest; - She drives the gradual dark with drooping crest, - And dreams go wandering from her drowsy star. - Because her star is silent do not wake: - But there shall tremble on the general earth, - And over you, a quickening and a birth, - The sun is near the hill-tops for your sake. - - The latest born of all the days shall creep, - To kiss the tender eyelids of the year, - And you shall wake, grown young with perfect sleep, - And smile at the new world, and make it dear - With living murmurs more than dreams are deep. - Silence is dead, my Dawn; the morning’s here. - - -MARCH. - - The north-east wind has come from Norroway, - Roaring he came above the white waves’ tips! - The foam of the loud sea was on his lips, - And all his hair was salt with falling spray. - Over the keen light of northern day - He cast his snow cloud’s terrible eclipse; - Beyond our banks he suddenly struck the ships, - And left them labouring on his landward way. - - The certain course that to his strength belongs - Drives him with gathering purpose and control - Until across Vendean flats he sees - Ocean, the eldest of his enemies. - Then wheels he for him, glorying in his goal, - And gives him challenge, bellowing battle-songs. - - -APRIL. - - The stranger warmth of the young sun obeying, - Look! little heads of green begin to grow, - And hidden flowers have dared their tops to show - Where late such droughty dusts were rudely playing. - It’s not the month, but all the world’s a-maying! - Come then with me, I’ll take you, for I know - Where the first hedgethorns and white windflowers blow: - We two alone, that goes without the saying. - - The month has treacherous clouds and moves in fears. - This April shames the month itself with smiles: - In whose new eyes I know no heaven of tears, - But still serene desire and between whiles, - So great a look that even April’s grace - Makes only marvel at her only face. - - -MAY. - - This is the laughing-eyed amongst them all: - My lady’s month. A season of young things. - She rules the light with harmony, and brings - The year’s first green upon the beeches tall. - How often, where long creepers wind and fall - Through the deep woods in noonday wanderings, - I’ve heard the month, when she to echo sings, - I’ve heard the month make merry madrigal. - - How often, bosomed in the breathing strong - Of mosses and young flowerets, have I lain - And watched the clouds, and caught the sheltered song-- - Which it were more than life to hear again-- - Of those small birds that pipe it all day long - Not far from Marly by the memoried Seine. - - -JUNE. - - Rise up, and do begin the day’s adorning; - The Summer dark is but the dawn of day. - The last of sunset grows into the morning, - The morning calls you from the dark away. - The holy mist, the white mist of the morning, - Was wreathing upward on my lonely way. - My way was waiting for your own adorning, - That should complete the broad adornéd day. - - Rise up, and do begin the day’s adorning; - The little eastern clouds are dapple-gray, - There will be wind among the leaves to-day; - It is the very promise of the morning. - _Lux tua via mea._ Your light’s my way: - Oh, do rise up and make it perfect day. - - -JULY. - - The Kings come riding back from the Crusade, - The purple Kings and all their mounted men; - They fill the street with clamorous cavalcade; - The Kings have broken down the Saracen. - Singing a great song of the eastern wars, - In crimson ships across the sea they came, - With crimson sails and diamonded dark oars, - That made the Mediterranean flash with flame. - - And reading how, in that far month, the ranks - Formed on the edge of the desert, armoured all, - I wish to God that I had been with them - When the first Norman leapt upon the wall, - And Godfrey led the foremost of the Franks, - And young Lord Raymond stormed Jerusalem. - - -AUGUST. - - The soldier month, the bulwark of the year, - That never more shall hear such victories told; - He stands apparent with his heaven-high spear, - And helmeted of grand Etruscan gold. - Our harvest is the bounty he has won, - The loot his fiery temper takes by strength. - Oh! Paladin of the Imperial sun! - Oh! crown of all the seasons come at length! - - This is sheer manhood; this is Charlemagne, - When he with his wide host came conquering home - From vengeance under Roncesvalles ta’en. - Or when his bramble beard flaked red with foam - Of bivouac wine-cups on the Lombard plain, - What time he swept to grasp the world at Rome. - - -SEPTEMBER. - - I, from a window where the Meuse is wide, - Looked eastward out to the September night; - The men that in the hopeless battle died - Rose, and deployed, and stationed for the fight; - A brumal army, vague and ordered large - For mile on mile by some pale general; - I saw them lean by companies to the charge, - But no man living heard the bugle-call. - - And fading still, and pointing to their scars, - They fled in lessening cloud, where gray and high - Dawn lay along the heaven in misty bars; - But watching from that eastern casement, I - Saw the Republic splendid in the sky, - And round her terrible head the morning stars. - - -OCTOBER. - - Look, how those steep woods on the mountain’s face - Burn, burn against the sunset; now the cold - Invades our very noon: the year’s grown old, - Mornings are dark, and evenings come apace. - The vines below have lost their purple grace, - And in Forrèze the white wrack backward rolled, - Hangs to the hills tempestuous, fold on fold, - And moaning gusts make desolate all the place. - - Mine host the month, at thy good hostelry, - Tired limbs I’ll stretch and steaming beast I’ll tether; - Pile on great logs with Gascon hand and free, - And pour the Gascon stuff that laughs at weather; - Swell your tough lungs, north wind, no whit care we, - Singing old songs and drinking wine together. - - -NOVEMBER. - - November is some historied Emperor, - Conquered in age, but foot to foot with fate, - Who from his refuge high has caught the roar - Of squadrons in pursuit, and now, too late, - Stirrups the storm and calls the winds to war, - And arms the garrison of his last heir-loom, - And shakes the sky to its extremest shore - With battle against irrevocable doom. - - Till, driven and hurled from his strong citadels, - He flies in hurrying cloud; and spurs him on - Empty of lingerings, empty of farewells - And final benedictions, and is gone. - But in my garden all the trees have shed - Their legacies of the light, and all the flowers are dead. - - -DECEMBER. - - Hoar Time about the house betakes him slow, - Seeking an entry for his weariness; - And in that dreadful company, Distress - And the sad Night with silent footsteps go. - On my poor hearth the brands are scarce aglow, - And in the woods without pale wanderers press; - Where, waning in the pines from less to less, - Mysterious hangs the hornéd moon, and low. - - For now December, full of aged care, - Comes in upon the year and weakly grieves, - Mumbling his lost desires and his despair; - And with mad, trembling hand still interweaves - The dank sear flower-stalks tangled in his hair, - While round about him whirl the rotten leaves. - - - - -TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES: - - - Italicized text is surrounded by underscores: _italics_. - - Obvious typographical errors have been corrected. - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Verses and Sonnets, by Hilaire Belloc - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK VERSES AND SONNETS *** - -***** This file should be named 60263-0.txt or 60263-0.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/6/0/2/6/60263/ - -Produced by Tim Lindell, David E.
