# The Deed Beyond The Deed

From a letter to Tevis Clyde Smith, ca. December 1928; written in Scots; the historical figure represented by "Rane o' the Sword" is unknown
The Deed Beyond the Deed
Rane o’ the Sword, wha’ men misca’ the fool,
Has turned his galley to the unco’ lands;
Now in the dragon girten prow he stands.
Billows abune the token o’ his rule,
Great fold on fold, the rover’s banner spread.
The hard neives dirl the ash ayint the tide
The war shields klish amain alang the side,
The red moon hammers dune a sea o’ red.
Rane o’ the Sword, nae sairly do we greet
To see your taps’yls scuddin’ dune the west,
Nae muckle love bear we for a’ your breed—
Bluid willna dry like water—yet ’tis meet
We gi’ ye due, that curious unrest
Wha’ gars ye seek the deed beyant the deed.
We give you due, that curious unrest
That goads you seek the deed beyond the deed.

# Dreaming On Downs

First published in The Poet's Scroll, April 1929.
I marched with Alfred when he thundered forth To break the crimson standards of the Dane; I saw the galleys looming in the north And heard the oar-locks and the sword's refrain.
And far across the pleasant Wessex downs The chanting of the spearmen broke the lyre, Till where the black thorn forest grimly frowns We sang a song of doom and steel and fire.
Death rode his pale horse through the dreaming sky All through that long red summer afternoon, And night and silence fell, when silently The dead men lay beneath a cold white moon.
Now Alfred sleeps with all the swords of yore, (But o'er the downs a brooding shadow glides) Untrampled flowers dream along the shore, And Guthrum's galleys rust beneath the tides.
Now underneath this drowsy tree I lie And turn old dreams upon my lazy knees, Till ghostly giants fill the sumer sky And phantom oars awake the sleeping seas.

Silver bridge in a broken sky,  Golden fruit on a withered bough, Red-lipped slaves that the ancients buy—  What are the dreams of Nineveh now?
Ghostly hoofs in the brooding night  Beat the bowl of the velvet stars. Shadows of spears when the moon is white  Cross the sands with ebony bars.
But not the shadows that brood her fall  May check the sweep of the desert fire, Nor a dead man lift up a crumbling wall,  Nor a spectre steady a falling spire.
Death fires rise in the desert sky  Where the armies of Sargon reeled; And though her people still sell and buy,  Nineveh's doom is set and sealed.
Silver mast with a silken sail,  Sapphire seas 'neath a purple prow, Hawk-eyed tribes on the desert trail—  What are the dreams of Nineveh now?

# Weird Tales/Volume 12/Issue 6/Easter Island

Easter Island
By Robert E. Howard
How many weary centuries have flown Since strange-eyed beings walked this ancient shore, Hearing, as we, the green Pacific's roar, Hewing fantastic gods from sullen stone! The sands are bare; the idols stand alone. Impotent 'gainst the years was all their lore: They are forgot in ages dim and hoar; Yet still, as then, the long tide-surges drone.
What dreams had they, that shaped these uncouth things? Before these gods what victims bled and died? What purple galleys swept along the strand That bore the tribute of what dim sea-kings? But now they reign o'er a forgotten land, Gating forever out beyond the tide.

# Empire's Destiny

First published in The Poet's Scroll, June 1929. Alternative title: "Oh Babylon, Lost Babylon"
Bab-ilu's women gazed upon our spears, And roses flung, and sang to see us ride. We built a glory for the marching years And starred our throne with silver nails of pride. Our horses' hoofs were shod with brazen fears: We laved our hands in blood and iron tears, And laughed to hear how shackled kings had died.
Our chariots awoke the sleeping world; The thunder of our hoofs the mountains broke; Before our spears were empires' banners furled Amd death and doom and iron winds were hurled, And slaughter rode before, and clouds and smoke-- Then in the desert lands the tribes awoke And death and vengeance 'round our walls were whirled.
Oh Babylon, lost Babylon! Where now The opal altar and the golden spire, The tower and the legend and the lyre? Oh, withered fruit upon a broken bough! The sobbing desert winds still whisper how The sapphire city of the gods' desire Fell in the smoke and crumbled in the fire; And lizards bask upon her columns now.
Now poets sing her golden glory gone; And Babylon has faded with the dawn.

I am older than the world: Older than life. The race of man is a babe in the cradle of Time. I am Alpha and Omega.
The first and the last; The circle without end. I am a serpent with its tail in its mouth; I am a triangle whose tips overlap a circle.
I am the older sister of Destiny. Before man was, I was: And after man has vanished from the Universe, I will be. Time is a phantom, built by the mind of man; There is no Time. The thing that men call Time flies before my wind; Time has beginning, duration, ending. I am that which was, is and shall be; Unceasing, Neverending, Eternal. Number all the sands of all the shores of all the worlds Of all the Universes. And let each sand represent a million centuries; And they all shall not be a single instant Of Eternity.
For I am numberless and unnumbered, Eternity had no beginning nor shall there be ending. I am Alpha and Omega. That which was, is and shall be; Numberless and unnumbered.

# Fables For Little Folk

First published in The Daniel Baker Collegian, 15 March 1926, the newspaper of Daniel Baker College (Brownwood , Texas).
He was six foot four and wide as a door And he weighed two hundred pounds And he laughed as he spoke, "I’ll cool that bloke. I’ll flatten him in two rounds." Ah, the crowd they cheered, but the crowd they jeered When his foeman stepped in the ring; They hissed and jowled and the giant scowled And rushed with a round-house swing. Yes, he came full tilt but the beans were spilt For the smaller man timed him fair And knocked him out with a left hand clout And the crowd gave him the air. So the moral is this: make your foeman miss And never lead with your right, But the first that you’re to do is be sure That it’s not Jack Dempsey you fight.

# Flaming Marble

First published in The Poet's Scroll, January 1929
I carved a woman out of marble when The walls of Athens echoed to my fame, And in the myrtle crown was shrined my name. I wrought with skill beyond all mortal ken. And into cold inhuman beauty then I breathed a touch of white and living flame -- And from her pedestal she rose and came To snare the souls and rend the hearts of men.
Without a soul, without a human heart She shattered mortal love and mortal pride And even I fell victim to my art, With bitter joyless love I took my bride. And still with frozen hate that never dies She sits and stares at me with icy eyes.
