# The Improvisatrice; and Other Poems/Apologue

APOLOGUE:
THE THOUGHT SUGGESTED BY A SPANISH SAYING.
"AIR—FIRE—WATER—SHAME."
WATER.
Seek for me the Arab maid's bower, Where the fountain plays over the jasmine flower; Seek for me in the light cascade, The minstrel lists in the greenwood shade; Seek me at morn 'mid the violet's dyes; Seek me where rainbows paint April skies; In the blue rush of rivers, the depths of the sea, If we should sever, there seek for me.
FIRE.
Seek for me where the war-shots meet, Where the soldier's cloak is his winding-sheet; Seek for me where the lava wave Bursts from Etna's secret cave; Seek for me where Christmas mirth Brightens the circle of love round your hearth; Where meteor-flames glance, where the stars are bright, Where the beacon flashes at the dead midnight; Where the lightning scathes the tall oak-tree, If we should sever, there seek for me.
AIR.
Seek for me where the Spanish maid
Hearkens at eve to the serenade;
Seek for me where the clouds are dark, Where the billows foam round the sinking bark; Where the aspen-leaf floats on the summer's gale, Where the rose bends low at the nightingale's tale; Where the wind-harp wakens in melody, If we should sever, there seek for me.
SHAME.
Seek not me, if we should sever: Parted once, we part for ever.
# The Hundred Best Poems (lyrical) in the English language - second series/Since there's no help

MICHAEL DRAYTON.
LXI.
Nay I have done, you get no more of me,
And I am glad, yea glad with all my heart,
That thus so cleanly I myself can free;
Shake hands for ever, cancel all our vows,
And when we meet at any time again,
Be it not seen in either of our brows,
That we one jot of former love retain;
Now at the last gasp of love's latest breath,
When his pulse failing, passion speechless lies,
When faith is kneeling by his bed of death,
And innocence is closing up his eyes,
Now if thou would' st, when all have given him over,
From death to life thou might'st him yet recover.
1810 Edition.
# The Hundred Best Poems (lyrical) in the English language - second series/Soldier, rest! thy warfare o'ver

WALTER SCOTT.
SOLDIER, rest! thy warfare o'er,
Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking;
Dream of battled fields no more,
Days of danger, nights of waking.
In our isle's enchanted hall,
Hands unseen thy couch are strewing,
Fairy strains of music fall,
Every sense in slumber dewing.
Soldier, rest! thy warfare o'er,
Dream of fighting fields no more:
Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking,
Morn of toil, nor night of waking.
No rude sound shall reach thine ear,
Armour's clang, or war-steed champing,
Trump nor pibroch summon here
Mustering clan, or squadron tramping,
Yet the lark's shrill fife may come
At the day-break from the fallow,
And the bittern sound his drum,
Booming from the sedgy shallow.
Ruder sounds shall none be near,
Guards nor warders challenge here,
Here's no war-steed's neigh and champing,
Shouting clans, or squadrons stamping.
Huntsman, rest! thy chase is done,
While our slumbrous spells assail ye,
Dream not, with the rising sun,
Bugles here shall sound reveillé.
Sleep! the deer is in his den;
Sleep! thy hounds are by thee lying;
Sleep! nor dream in yonder glen,
How thy gallant steed lay dying.
Huntsman, rest! thy chase is done,
Think not of the rising sun,
For at dawning to assail ye,
Here no bugles sound reveillé.
# The Hundred Best Poems (lyrical) in the English language - second series/Song of Proserpine

While Gathering Flowers on the Plain of Enna
I.
Thou from whose immortal bosom,
Gods, and men, and beasts have birth,
Leaf and blade, and bud and blossom,
Breathe thine influence most divine
On thine own child, Proserpine.
II.
Thou dost nourish these young flowers
Till they grow, in scent and hue,
Fairest children of the hours,
Breathe thine influence most divine
On thine own child, Proserpine.
# The Hundred Best Poems (lyrical) in the English language - second series/Remember

REMEMBER me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd: Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
1904 Edition.
# The Hundred Best Poems (lyrical) in the English language - second series/Sound, sound the clarion

SOUND, sound the clarion, fill the fife!
To all the sensual world proclaim,
One crowded hour of glorious life
Is worth an age without a name.
# The Hundred Best Poems (lyrical) in the English language - second series/Still to be neat, still to be drest

STILL to be neat, still to be drest,
As you were going to a feast;
Still to be powdered, still perfum'd
Lady, it is to be presum'd,
Though art's hid causes are not found,
All is not sweet, all is not sound.
Give me a look, give me a face,
That makes simplicity a grace;
Robes loosely flowing, hair as free:
Such sweet neglect more taketh me,
Than all th' adulteries of art;
They strike mine eyes, but not my heart.
1810 Edition.
# The Hundred Best Poems (lyrical) in the English language - second series/Rich and rare were the gems she wore

This ballad is founded upon the following anecdote:— "The people were inspired with such a spirit of honour, ​virtue, and religion, by the great example of Brien, and by his excellent administration, that, as a proof of it, we are informed that a young lady of great beauty, adorned with jewels and a costly dress, undertook a journey alone, from one end of the kingdom to the other, with a wand only in her hand, at the top of which was a ring of exceeding great value; and such an impression had the laws and government of this Monarch made on the minds of all the people, that no attempt was made upon her honour, nor was she robbed of her clothes or jewels."—Warner's History of Ireland, vol. i., book x.
RICH and rare were the gems she wore,
And a bright gold ring on her wand she bore;
But oh! her beauty was far beyond
Her sparkling gems, or snow-white wand.
"Lady! dost thou not fear to stray,
"So lone and lovely through this bleak way?
"Are Erin's sons so good or so cold,
"As not to be tempted by woman or gold?"
"Sir Knight! I feel not the least alarm,
"No son of Erin will offer me harm:
"For though they love woman and golden store,
"Sir Knight! they love honour and virtue more!"
On she went, and her maiden smile
In safety lighted her round the Green Isle; And blest for ever is she who relied
Upon Erin's honour and Erin's pride.
1852 Edition.
# The Hundred Best Poems (lyrical) in the English language - second series/Stanzas on Woman

OLIVER GOLDSMITH.
WHEN lovely woman stoops to folly And finds too late that men betray, What charm can soothe her melancholy, What art can wash her guilt away?
The only art her guilt to cover, To hide her shame from ev'ry eye, To give repentance to her lover, And wring his bosom—is to die.
1816 Edition.
# The Hundred Best Poems (lyrical) in the English language - second series/Sudden Light

DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI.
I HAVE been here before,
But when or how I cannot tell:
I know the grass beyond the door,
The sweet keen smell,
The sighing sound, the lights around the shore.
You have been mine before,— How long ago I may not know:
But just when at that swallow's spar
Your neck turned so,
Some veil did fall,—I knew it all of yore.
Has this been thus before? And shall not thus time's eddying flight
Still with our lives our love restore
In death's despite,
And day and night yield one delight once more?
1886 Edition.
