"Because I failed, shall I asperse the End"

"Because I failed, shall I asperse the End"

Because I failed, shall I asperse the End

With scorn or doubt, my failure to excuse;

'Gainst arduous Truth my feeble falseness use,

Like that worst foe, a vain splenetic friend?

Deem'st thou, self—amorous fool, the High will bend

If that thy utmost stature prove too small?

Though thou be dwarf, some other is more tall.

The End is fixed; have faith; the means will mend.

"The lark confinèd in his cage"

"The lark confinèd in his cage"

The lark confinèd in his cage,

And captive in his wing,

Though fluttering with imprisoned rage,

Forbeareth not to sing.

But still the strain, though loud and long,

Is but the mock of mirth,

Not that dawn—dewy nuptial song

That weddeth Heaven with Earth.

Vis Medicatrix Naturae

Vis Medicatrix Naturae

When Faith turns false and Fancy grows unkind,

And Fortune, more from fickleness than spite,

Takes the keen savour out of all delight,

And of sweet pulp leaves only bitter rind,

Then I the load of living leave behind,

Fleeing where, far from human sound and sight,

Over brown furrows wheels the lapwing white,

And whistles tunely with the winter wind.

"When the reaper lays the sickle by "

"When the reaper lays the sickle by "

When the reaper lays the sickle by,

And taketh down the flail:

When all we prized, and all we planned,

Is ripe and stored at last,

And Autumn looks across the land,

And ponders on the Past.

"`Were I a Poet, I would dwell"

"`Were I a Poet, I would dwell"

`Were I a Poet, I would dwell,

Not upon lonely height,

Nor cloistered in disdainful cell

From human sound and sight.

I would live nestled near my kind,

Deep in a garden garth,

That they who loved my verse might find

A pathway to my hearth.

"Give me a roof where Wisdom dwells"

"Give me a roof where Wisdom dwells"

Give me a roof where Wisdom dwells,

Where honeysuckle smiles and smells,

A bleating flock, some lowing kine,

An honest welcome always mine,

A homely draught, a humble meal,

Leisure to live, to think, to feel,

A narrow plot, a prospect wide,

"My northern blood exults to face"

"My northern blood exults to face"

My northern blood exults to face

The rapture of this rough embrace,

Glowing in every vein to feel

The cordial caress of steel

From spear—blue air and sword—blue sea,

Armour of England's liberty.

The Haymakers’ Song

The Haymakers’ Song

HERE’S to him that grows it,

Drink, lads, drink!

That lays it in and mows it,

Clink, jugs, clink!

To him that mows and makes it,

That scatters it and shakes it,

That turns, and teds, and rakes it,

Clink, jugs, clink!

Alea Jacta

Alea Jacta

Dearest, I know thee wise and good,

Beloved by all the best;

With fancy like Ithuriel's spear,

A judgment proof 'gainst rage or fear,

Heart firm through many a stormy year,

And conscience calm in rest.

Why should I let my wayward feet

Cross the fair threshold of thy life?

Impromptu

Impromptu

Tell me your race, your name,

O Lady limned as dead, yet as when living fair!

That within this faded frame

An unfading beauty wear.

Were you ever known to fame,

Or, more wisely, chose to be

Lost in love's obscurity?

We may question, gaze, and guess,

A Souless Singer

A Souless Singer

Hail! throstle, by thy ringing voice descried,

Not by the wanderings of the tuneless wing!

Now once again where forkëd boughs divide,

Lost in green leafage thou dost perch and sing:

Trilling, shrilling, far and wide,

``It is Spring.''

Thy matins peal long ere the rosy dawn

Unfolds its hull and burgeons into light;
