Dress! -Stop not, sitting upon the bed's hard edge, -Stop not to wonder at by-and-bye, nor guess! -List to the rapid birds i'th' window ledge! -Up, up and washed!

Io! There runs a juice of pleasure's rage -Through these frames' mesh, -That now do really ache to strip and wage -Upon each others' flesh -The war that fills the womb and puts milk in -The teats a man did win, -The battle fought with rage to join and fit -And not to hurt or hit! -Io! Io! Be drunken like the day and hour! -Shout, laugh and overpower -With clamour your own thoughts, lest they a breath -Utter of age or death! -Now is all absolute youth, and the small pains -That thrill the filled veins -Themselves are edged in a great tickling joy -That halts ever ere it cloy. -Put out of mind all things save flesh and giving -The male milk that makes living! -Rake out great peals of joy like grass from ground -In your o'ergrown soul found! -Make your great rut dispersedly rejoice -With laugh or voice, -As if all earth, hot sky and tremulous air -A mighty cymbal were! - - - - -XIX - - -Set the great Flemish hour aflame! -Your senses of all leisure maim! -Cast down with blows that joy even where they hurt -The hands that mock to avert! -All things pick up to bed that lead ye to -Be naked that ye woo! -Tear up, pluck up, like earth who treasure seek, -When the chest's ring doth peep, -The thoughts that cover thoughts of the acts of heat -This great day does intreat! -Now seem all hands pressing the paps as if -They meant them juice to give! -Now seem all things pairing on one another, -Hard flesh soft flesh to smother, -And hairy legs and buttocks balled to split -White legs mid which they shift. -Yet these mixed mere thoughts in each mind but speak -The day's push love to wreak, -The man's ache to have felt possession, -The woman's man to have on, -The abstract surge of life clearly to reach -The bodies' concrete beach. -Yet some work of this doth the real day don. -Now are skirts lifted in the servants' hall, -And the whored belly's stall -Ope to the horse that enters in a rush, -Half late, too near the gush. -And even now doth an elder guest emmesh -A flushed young girl in a dark nook apart, -And leads her slow to move his produced flesh. -Look how she likes with something in her heart -To feel her hand work the protruded dart! - - - - -XX - - -But these are thoughts or promises or but -Half the purpose of rut, -And this is lust thought-of or futureless -Or used but lust to ease. -Do ye the circle true of love pretend, -And, what Nature, intend! -Do ye actually ache -The horse of lust by reins of life to bend -And pair in love for love's creating sake! -Bellow! Roar! Stallions be or bulls that fret -On their seed's hole to get! -Surge for that carnal complement that will -Your flesh's young juice thrill -To the wet mortised joints at which you meet -The coming life to greet, -In the tilled womb that will bulge till it do -The plenteous curve of spheric earth renew! - - - - -XXI - - -And ye, that wed to-day, guess these instincts -Of the concerted group in hints -Yourselves from Nature naturally have, -And your good future brave! -Close lips, nude arms, felt breasts and organ mighty, -Do your joy's night work rightly! -Teach them these things, O day of pomp of heat! -Leave them in thoughts such as must make the feat -Of flesh inevitable and natural as -Pissing when wish doth press! -Let them cling, kiss and fit -Together with natural wit, -And let the night, coming, teach them that use -For youth is in abuse! -Let them repeat the link, and pour and pour -Their pleasure till they can no more! -Ay, let the night watch over their repeated -Coupling in darkness, till thought's self, o'erheated, -Do fret and trouble, and sleep come on hurt frames, -And, mouthing each one's names, -They in each other's arms dream still of love -And something of it prove! -And, if they wake, teach them to recommence, -For an hour was far hence; -Till their contacted flesh, in heat o'erblent -With joy, sleep sick, while, spent -The stars, the sky pale in the East and shiver -Where light the night doth sever, -And with clamour of joy and life's young din -The warm new day come in. - - - - -LISBON, 1913. - -*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK ENGLISH POEMS, VOLUME 02 (OF 2) *** - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law 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 -widespread 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. Donations are accepted in a number of other -ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To -donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate - -Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works - -Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project -Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be -freely shared with anyone.
