# The Haunted House (Brown)

published in: The New England Magazine / Volume 18, Issue 3. May 1895.
UPON a little rise it stands alone,  Dark and forbidding, where three cross-roads meet,—  Its dim, fierce windows frowning on the street, The time-stained walls with moss and mould o'ergrown.
Pink hollyhocks group idly at the door,  And bend to pierce the oak with prying eyes,  Or shake their heads and whisper, gossip-wise, The long-dead secrets of those days of yore.
The jealous door seems warning me away;  The grating hinges shudder as it swings;  Across my face dim shadows sweep their wings; And round me heavy cobwebs swing and sway.
There is a window looking to the sea;  The small square panes are blurred as if with tears.  Here years ago a young bride felt those fears Which even now thrill coldly over me.
Here trembling still she sat, yet made no moan,  But felt an unseen shadow fill the door,  ANd heard a light step steal across the floor,— And shrank beneath a touch which chilled her own.
Once more I pass the hall, the dim oak stair.  A sudden gust breathes down, a trembling sigh;  A silken rustle lightly whispers by; The fragrance of dried rose-leaves fills the air.

Out beyond the sunset, could I but find the way, Is a sleepy blue laguna which widens to a bay, And there's the Blessed City -- so the sailors say --  The Golden City of St. Mary.
It's built of fair marble -- white -- without a stain, And in the cool twilight when the sea-winds wane The bells chime faintly, like a soft, warm rain,  In the Golden City of St. Mary.
Among the green palm-trees where the fire-flies shine, Are the white tavern tables where the gallants dine, Singing slow Spanish songs like old mulled wine,  In the Golden City of St. Mary.
Oh I'll be shipping sunset-wards and westward-ho Through the green toppling combers a-shattering into snow, Till I come to quiet moorings and a watch below,  In the Golden City of St. Mary.

# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/The Rosary

45. THE ROSARY.
One ask'd me where the roses grew: I bade him not go seek, But forthwith bade my Julia show A bud in either cheek.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/The Tear Sent to Her From Staines

123. THE TEAR SENT TO HER FROM STAINES.
Glide, gentle streams, and bear Along with you my tear To that coy girl Who smiles, yet slays Me with delays, And strings my tears as pearl.
See! see, she's yonder set, Making a carcanet Of maiden-flowers! There, there present This orient And pendant pearl of ours.
Then say I've sent one more Gem to enrich her store; And that is all Which I can send, Or vainly spend, For tears no more will fall.
Nor will I seek supply Of them, the spring's once dry; But I'll devise, Among the rest, A way that's best How I may save mine eyes.
Yet say—should she condemn Me to surrender them
Then say my part Must be to weep Out them, to keep A poor, yet loving heart.
Say too, she would have this; She shall: then my hope is, That when I'm poor And nothing have To send or save, I'm sure she'll ask no more.
Carcanet, necklace.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/The Silken Snake

284. THE SILKEN SNAKE.
For sport my Julia threw a lace Of silk and silver at my face: Watchet the silk was, and did make A show as if't had been a snake: The suddenness did me afright, But though it scar'd, it did not bite.
Lace, a girdle. Watchet, pale blue.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/The Succession of the Four Sweet Months

70. THE SUCCESSION OF THE FOUR SWEET MONTHS.
First, April, she with mellow showers Opens the way for early flowers; Then after her comes smiling May, In a more rich and sweet array; Next enters June, and brings us more Gems than those two that went before: Then (lastly) July comes, and she More wealth brings in than all those three.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/The Sadness of Things for Sappho's Sickness

118. THE SADNESS OF THINGS FOR SAPPHO'S SICKNESS.
Lilies will languish; violets look ill; Sickly the primrose; pale the daffodil; That gallant tulip will hang down his head, Like to a virgin newly ravished; Pansies will weep, and marigolds will wither, And keep a fast and funeral together; Sappho droop, daisies will open never, But bid good-night, and close their lids for ever.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/The Scare-fire

61. THE SCARE-FIRE.
Water, water I desire, Here's a house of flesh on fire; Ope the fountains and the springs, And come all to bucketings: What ye cannot quench pull down; Spoil a house to save a town: Better 'tis that one should fall, Than by one to hazard all.
Scare-fire, fire-alarm.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/The Shoe-Tying

33. THE SHOE-TYING.
Anthea bade me tie her shoe; I did; and kissed the instep too: And would have kissed unto her knee, Had not her blush rebuked me.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/The Suspicion Upon His Over-much Familiarity With a Gentlewoman

136. THE SUSPICION UPON HIS OVER-MUCH FAMILIARITY WITH A GENTLEWOMAN.
And must we part, because some say Loud is our love, and loose our play, And more than well becomes the day? Alas for pity! and for us Most innocent, and injured thus! Had we kept close, or played within, Suspicion now had been the sin, And shame had followed long ere this, T' have plagued what now unpunished is. But we, as fearless of the sun,
As faultless, will not wish undone What now is done, since where no sin Unbolts the door, no shame comes in. Then, comely and most fragrant maid, Be you more wary than afraid Of these reports, because you see The fairest most suspected be. The common forms have no one eye Or ear of burning jealousy To follow them: but chiefly where Love makes the cheek and chin a sphere To dance and play in, trust me, there Suspicion questions every hair. Come, you are fair, and should be seen While you are in your sprightful green: And what though you had been embraced By me—were you for that unchaste? No, no! no more than is yond' moon Which, shining in her perfect noon, In all that great and glorious light, Continues cold as is the night. Then, beauteous maid, you may retire; And as for me, my chaste desire Shall move towards you, although I see Your face no more. So live you free From fame's black lips, as you from me.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/The Vision

142. THE VISION.
Sitting alone, as one forsook, Close by a silver-shedding brook, With hands held up to love, I wept; And after sorrows spent I slept: Then in a vision I did see A glorious form appear to me: A virgin's face she had; her dress Was like a sprightly Spartaness. A silver bow, with green silk strung, Down from her comely shoulders hung: And as she stood, the wanton air Dangled the ringlets of her hair.
Her legs were such Diana shows When, tucked up, she a-hunting goes; With buskins shortened to descry The happy dawning of her thigh: Which when I saw, I made access To kiss that tempting nakedness: But she forbade me with a wand Of myrtle she had in her hand: And, chiding me, said: Hence, remove, Herrick, thou art too coarse to love.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/The Vision to Electra

56. THE VISION TO ELECTRA.
I dreamed we both were in a bed Of roses, almost smothered: The warmth and sweetness had me there Made lovingly familiar, But that I heard thy sweet breath say, Faults done by night will blush by day.
I kissed thee, panting, and, I call Night to the record! that was all. But, ah! if empty dreams so please, Love give me more such nights as these.
# The Family Kitchen Gardener (1856)/Squash

Layout 2
SQUASH.
Cucùrbita Melópepo.—Courge ou Potiron, Fr.
This vegetable is in general use from June to August, or even October, and is extensively cultivated in this vicinity for the market. There is no garden, however unpretending, should omit its culture.
They may be cooked in the very simplest form, requiring about an hour’s boiling in water. When done, mash well, place them in a colander and press out the water freely. Season with pepper, cream and butter, and dish them up for the table.
There are several sorts for both Summer and Winter use. The former only deserves attention, as the latter are inferior to the Cashaw Pumpkin.
Early Bush, or Patty-pan, from its dwarf habit and productiveness, is preferred for early crops. It is of a yellowish white color, round and pan-shaped. Many acres of them are grown for our markets.
Green Striped, or Large-Green.—This crook-necked variety is perfectly green, with a few light stripes in it. Some prefer it to the former, though not generally, it being both later and more rampant in growth.
Culture.—Plant in May, June, and July, in hills four feet each way, in the same manner as directed for Cucumbers. Their general management and after-culture is the same in every respect. Half an ounce of seed will supply any family. They are fit for use when about the size of the fist. When the skin becomes so hard that the nail of the finger cannot pierce it easily, it is unfit for use.
# The Family Kitchen Gardener (1856)/Swiss Chard

Layout 2
SWISS CHARD, OR SILVER BEET.
Béta Vulgàris argentèa.—Swiss Chard, Ger.
This spinaceous plant is becoming very generally distributed as a vegetable. Its leaves only are used. It is a variety of the Beet, having bright green foliage, with the leaf-stalk and mid-rib of a pure white, and is sometimes known under the name of Seakale Bea, from the fact that the footstalk and nerves of the leaves can be used like that vegetable. The leaf, after being deprived of the strong membranes, is cooked like Spinach, and very favorably received at the table. The root portion of the plant is not generally made use of.
Culture.—This is accomplished in the same manner and by the same process as detailed for the Beet. It is extensively cultivated in France, Germany, and Switzerland. To those who are fond of a vegetable diet, it may form a very prominent portion in the months of June, July, and August―the warm season, when Spinach and Scakale cannot be obtained. Sow for the first crop in March, and for the second in May. An ounce of seed will supply a large family.
# The Family Kitchen Gardener (1856)/Sorrel

Layout 2
SORREL.
Rùmex acetòsa.—Oseille, Fr.—Sauerampfer, Ger.
Some species of the Sorrel is found in every part of the world. Wherever seen, it indicates a poor, sour soil. It is peculiarly a French dish, and considered an effectual remedy against scurvy. Its general use is in salads, and occasionally boiled as a sauce, and may be cooked similarly to Spinach. It is increased by seeds or division of the roots. Plant in a light, rich, moist soil, in rows ten inches apart; they will furnish a plentiful supply of leaves the same season. They afterwards only require to be kept clean, and to have the seed-stems cut down as well as the overgrown leaves in Autumn.
# The Family Kitchen Gardener (1856)/Tansy

Layout 2
TANSY.
Tanacètum vulgàre.—Tanaise, Fr.—Rheinfarn, Ger.
A native of banks, hedges, and borders of fields, in most parts of the middle of Europe. It is perennial, and easily propagated by seed, and also by parting the roots in Spring and planting them in any light soil or situation. Tansy has a strong, aromatic smell, and a bitter taste. It is tonic and stomachic, and has the usual qualities attributed to bitters of the warm or aromatic kind. It was formerly much used in puddings, but has of late been neglected, and is now seldom used, either as a culinary vegetable or medicinal herb.
