# Waste Land (Cawein)

Briar and fennel and chincapin,  And rue and ragweed everywhere; The field seemed sick as a soul with sin,  Or dead of an old despair,  Born of an ancient care.
The cricket's cry and the locust's whirr,  And the note of a bird's distress, With the rasping sound of the grasshopper,  Clung to the loneliness  Like burrs to a trailing dress.
So sad the field, so waste the ground,  So curst with an old despair, A woodchuck's burrow, a blind mole's mound,  And a chipmunk's stony lair,  Seemed more than it could bear.
So lonely, too, so more than sad,  So droning-lone with bees – I wondered what more could Nature add  To the sum of its miseries . . .  And then – I saw the trees.
Skeletons gaunt that gnarled the place,  Twisted and torn they rose – The tortured bones of a perished race  Of monsters no mortal knows,  They startled the mind's repose.
And a man stood there, as still as moss,  A lichen form that stared; With an old blind hound that, at a loss,  Forever around him fared  With a snarling fang half bared.
I looked at the man; I saw him plain;  Like a dead weed, gray and wan, Or a breath of dust. I looked again –  And man and dog were gone,  Like wisps of the graying dawn. . . .
Were they a part of the grim death there –  Ragweed, fennel, and rue? Or forms of the mind, an old despair,  That there into semblance grew  Out of the grief I knew?

GO LOOK, GO LOOK.
BY the light of the moon t’other ev’ning I ſtray’d, a mile by the ſide of the brook; When Roger ſtept up with, how do you, far maid? I peeviſhly anſwer’d, go look, go look. I peeviſhly anſwer’d, go look.
Nay, nay, he reply’d, why angry with me? I know you meet Robin the cook; It may be ye now are a waiting for he, in a paſſion I anſwer’d, go look, go look, In a passion I anſwer’d, go look.
Quoth he, you love muſic, I’ve heard them to ſay; and out he an inſtrument took—— D’ye think said he, Bob or I better can play? I anſwer’d him fellow, go look, go look, I anſwer’d him fellow, go look.
But reſolute grown he seiz’d fast o’ my hand, and forc’d me to ſit down in the nook; And ſweet, ſaid he, tell me what tune you command, you puppy, I anſwer’d, go look, go look. You puppy, I anſwer’d go look.
But ſoon, with his flute, he ſo raviſh’d my heart, that I never dreamt more of the cook; And thoſe who imagine I’ve told but a part, for the reſt of the ſtory may look, may look. For the reſt of the ſtory may look.
