Excerpt from Songs in Exile, and Other Poems I know that all beneath the moon decays, And what by mortals in this world is brought In Time's great periods shall return to nought; That fairest states have fatal nights and days. I know that all the Muses' heavenly lays, With toil of sprite which are so dearly bought, As idle sounds, of few or none are sought; That there is nothing lighter than vain praise. I know frail Beauty's like the purple flower, To which one morn oft birth and death affords; That Love a jarring is of minds' accords, Where sense and will bring under reason's power: Know what I list, this all can not me move, But that, alas, I both must write and love.

Excerpt from Songs of Exile Rom sea and plain, from prairie sprent With riotous sunflowers indolent, From billows flashing bloom of spray, From many an alien place they stray? These rhymes. No arduous flight their song, Awed honor to earth's swift and strong And sweet. Night's vast, the dreamy boon Of odorous noon, Dread instancy of Death, the might of love, All rapture, all above That lifts, enchants, appeals, - music that bears The key of tears, Worship and awe and wonder, -these have stirred This answering word. And these to thee I bring, Who brought me spring, Dearest and wife. Be all that love has/i done, Love's dower alone.
