XXXVII. THERE STOOD IN HEAVEN A LINDEN TREE
(Es stot ein lind im himelrich)
1.There stood in heav'n a linden tree; But, tho' 'twas honey-laden, All Angels cried, 'No bloom shall be Like that of one fair Maiden.'
2.Sped Gabriel on wingèd feet, And pass'd through bolted portals In Nazareth, a Maid to greet Blest o'er all other mortals.
3.'Hail Mary!' quod that Angel mild, 'Of woman-kind the fairest: The Virgin ay shalt thou be styled, A babe although thou bearest.'
4.'How shall I bear a child, that ne'er With wedded man was mated? Pray tell me now this infant how Shall He be generated?'
5.'O Virgin sheen, it shall be seen, As I announce afore thee: The Holy Ghost, of virtue most, Shall cast His shadow o'er thee.
​6.'So be it!' God's hand-maiden cried, 'According to thy telling.' Whereon the Angel smartly hied Up home-ward to his dwelling.
7.This tiding fill'd his mates with glee: 'Twas pass'd from one to other, That 'twas Marie, and none but she, And God would call her Mother.

2.In reverent wise, with holy hands, She wrapt the Child in swathing bands.
3.But, as she sung the glad refrain, Her tears gan trickle fast as rain.

XXVIII. THE MIRROUR OF THE FATHER'S FACE

# The Cambridge Carol Book/That Virgin's Child

Holy Week
XXXVIII. THAT VIRGIN'S CHILD
1.That Virgin's Child Most meek and mild, A-lonely for my sake His Father's will For to fulfil, He came great pains to take And suffer'd death, As Scripture saith, That we should savèd be, On Good Friday: Wherefore I say, He mournèd sore for me.
2.Such pain and smart As in His heart He suffer'd for mankind, Can no man take, Nor mourning make So meekly for his friend. The cruel Jews ​Would not refuse To nail Him to a tree, And with a dart To pierce His heart: Thus mournèd He for me.
3.Now Christ Jesú, Of love most true, Have mercy upon me: I ask Thee grace For my trespass, That I have done to Thee. For Thy sweet Name, Save me from shame And all adversitie: For Mary's sake, To Thee me take, And mourn no more for me.
# The Cambridge Carol Book/Outside, how hard it bloweth!

XXIV. OUTSIDE, HOW HARD IT BLOWETH!
1.Outside, how hard it bloweth, The nor'-nor'-eastern gale! Outside, how fast it snoweth! 'Twill freeze the milk in pail. Ay me! how dark the night! Nay, e'en when day do lengthen, (Men say) the cold will strengthen, Ere summer draw in sight.
2.Indoors, meanwhile 'tis merry: Men trim the house with spray Of rud red holly berry, Or green-leaf of the bay. To curb the winter cold, The spit is set a-turning; The Yule block too is burning, As in the days of old.
​3.In hall, despite the weather, Good will and warmth abound: There hearts are knit together With Carol, Glee and Round, In worship of that morn, When God was [in December, As grateful folk remember] Of Maiden Mary born.
# The Cambridge Carol Book/Summer is banish'd

LII. SUMMER IS BANISH'D
(Loybere risen)
Summer is banish'd; Late the sun riseth, heigho! And ne'er a flow'r springeth: Green leaf is vanish'd: Now by our hedge and woodrow No nightingale singeth, But o'er lea and mountain Boreas' bugle doth blow, Benumbing all, cattle and drover, Freezing the fountain, Mantling the meadow with snow. Ay me! for glad summer is over.
# The Cambridge Carol Book/Sleep, baby mine, in happy case

XXVI. SLEEP, BABY MINE, IN HAPPY CASE
1.Sleep, baby mine, in happy case: Thy guardian eyeth, face to face, Our heav'nly Father ever, To whom the darkness and the light Co-equal are: who, day and night Thy keeper, slumb'reth never. Yet know, thou child in rich array, On feather bed, that on a day Thy Maker couch'd in straw and hay.
2.But harder was the plank, whereon The Suff'rer mounted, woe-begone, To save thy life from danger Of leopard, bear, wolf, lion, snake. Him sing I, babe, Who for our sake Did not abhor the manger, What time the Virgin Mother kept The cratch, wherein her Darling slept, Or oft, as Man of Sorrow, wept.
# The Cambridge Carol Book/Sweet Babe, that, wrapt in twilight shade

XXVII. SWEET BABE, THAT, WRAPT IN TWILIGHT SHADE
1.Sweet Babe, that, wrapt in twilight shade, Upon Thy Mother's lap wast laid, Grant, Holy Jesu, grant that we May imitate Thine infancy.
2.And, when we seek our lowly bed, While midnight darkens o'er our head, From ravening wolves, kind Shepherd, keep This little flock of Thy poor sheep.
3.Speak peace unto our souls, and tell Of heav'nly joys with Thee that dwell; So shall our spirit, all night long, Sing to our God her thankful song.
4.Thus, as the dying day grows dim, To God we raise our evening hymn; And laud, with heaven's bright Angel host, The Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
# The Collected Poems of Dora Sigerson Shorter/But for the Tears

From The Collected Poems of Dora Sigerson Shorter (1907).
BUT FOR THE TEARS
“The World were a place to play in,” said the children, “The playground of the present; all that is have we, No past is ours to sorrow, No clouding thought of morrow, And joy is slow in passing where we be. With knowledge of a soul's right scarce awake, Life had no fears: The World were good to play in,” said the children, “But for the tears.”
“The World were good to love in,” said the youth. “With a future all our own to dream and do, With a fate for our soul's making. Fame for our manhood's taking. And Hope will never shun as we pursue. Crowned with knowledge of a soul our calm and fair horizon clears; And the World were good to love in,” said the youth, “But for the tears.”
“The World were good to die in,” said the aged, “When lost years come to haunt you with their groans. When dead dreams won't be stilled. And hopes long unfulfilled Beat on your bleeding heart nor heed its moans. With knowledge of a soul's right gained and lost, Less love endears Some little your poor flesh: O welcome, death, to age, Save for those tears.”
# The Collected Poems of Dora Sigerson Shorter/Cean Duv Deelish

From The Collected Poems of Dora Sigerson Shorter (1907).
CEAN DUV DEELISH
Cean duv deelish, beside the sea I stand and stretch my hands to thee Across the world. The riderless horses race to shore With thundering hoofs and shuddering, hoar, Blown manes uncurled.
Cean duv deelish, I cry to thee Beyond the world, beneath the sea. Thou being dead. Where hast thou hidden from the beat Of crushing hoofs and tearing feet Thy dear black head?
Cean duv deelish, 'tis hard to pray With breaking heart from day to day, And no reply; When the passionate challenge of sky is cast In the teeth of the sea and an angry blast Goes keening by.
God bless the woman, whoever she be. From the tossing waves will recover thee And lashing wind. Who will take thee out of the wind and storm, Dry thy wet face on her bosom warm And lips so kind?
I not to know. It is hard to pray, But I shall for this woman from aay to day, “Comfort my dead, The sport of the winds and the play of the sea.” I loved thee too well for this thing to be, O dear black head!
# The Collected Poems of Dora Sigerson Shorter/Distant Voices

From The Collected Poems of Dora Sigerson Shorter (1907).
DISTANT VOICES
I left my home for travelling; Because I heard the strange birds sing In foreign skies, and felt their wing
Brush past my soul impatiently; I saw the bloom on flower and tree That only grows beyond the sea.
Methought the distant voices spake More wisdom than near tongues can make; I followed—lest my heart should break.
And what is past is past and done. I dreamt, and here the dream begun: I saw a salmon in the sun
Leap from the river to the shore— Ah! strange mishap, so wounded sore, To his sweet stream to turn no more.
A bird from 'neath his mother's breast. Spread his weak wings in vain request; Never again to reach his nest.
I saw a blossom bloom too soon Upon a summer's afternoon; 'Twill breathe no more beneath the moon.
I woke, warmed 'neath a foreign sky Where locust blossoms bud and die. Strange birds called to me flashing by.
And dusky faces passed and woke The echoes with the words they spoke— —The same old tales as other folk.
A truce to roaming! Never more I'll leave the home I loved of yore. But strangers meet me at the door.
I left my home still travelling, For yet I hear the strange birds sing, And foreign flowers rare perfumes bring.
I hear a distant voice, more wise Than others are 'neath foreign skies, I'll find—perhaps in paradise.
# The Collected Poems of Dora Sigerson Shorter/Beware

From The Collected Poems of Dora Sigerson Shorter (1907).
BEWARE
I closed my hands upon a moth And when I drew my palms apart, Instead of dusty, broken wings, I found a bleeding human heart
I crushed my foot upon a worm That had my garden for its goal, But when I drew my foot aside I found a dying human soul.
# The Collected Poems of Dora Sigerson Shorter/Cupid Slain

From The Collected Poems of Dora Sigerson Shorter (1907).
CUPID SLAIN
I come from a burial; Hush! let me be: I have put away my love, Fair exceedingly.
Ah! the little gold curls Soft about his face; Now my heart is sorrowful For his sleeping-place.
But he would pursue me, Never let me rest; Till I turned and slew him. Knowing it were best.
Laid his bow beside him, Shovelled in the clay; To-morrow I'll forget him; Let me weep to-day.
# The Collected Poems of Dora Sigerson Shorter/Ave Maria

From The Collected Poems of Dora Sigerson Shorter (1907).
AVE MARIA
In the darkness of the night I wake and weep,
Ave Maria, hear my cry!
Dread shapes crowd around me, I cannot sleep,
Ave Maria, hear my cry!
Love that must separate, Death that takes all,
Ave Maria, hear my cry!
Comes in the darkness with shuddering footfall,
Ave Maria, hear my cry!
Stern seems the face of the Lord and turned away,
Ave Maria, hear my cry! For my prayerless night and my deedless day,
Ave Maria, hear my cry!
Thou art meek and full of mercy—pray for me,
Ave Maria, hear my cry! He will listen to my prayer for love of thee,
Ave Maria, hear my cry!
Say that the world's hot dust was in my eyes,
Ave Maria, hear my prayer! Say that my ears were deaf with city cries,
Ave Maria, hear my prayer!
Say to that man and beast so questionèd,
Ave Maria, hear my cry!
That on the cross He hung beloved but dead,
Ave Maria, hear my cry!
In the darkness of the night I wake and weep,
Ave Maria, hear my cry!
All that I am not drives my soul from sleep,
Ave Maria, hear my cry!
# The Collected Poems of Dora Sigerson Shorter/Cecilia's Way

From The Collected Poems of Dora Sigerson Shorter (1907).
CECILIA'S WAY
Lighted by the lady moon, Breezes blow and aspens quiver. By the stream's enchanted tune Singing to the distant river. Walks Cecilia.
Such an hour for love and song, Lover's kiss and maiden's laughter. Who would wish the night less long Or fail to weep it back hereafter? Sighs Cecilia.
Neath the aspen moves a shade,— Shadow dark! The saints defend her! Any lass would fly afraid On the wings that fear would lend her! Smiles Cecilia.
Who would brave the shaping gloom, Hiding form and hidden nice. Phantom arms that would entomb. Who dares go to that embrace?— Why, Cecilia.
# The Collected Poems of Dora Sigerson Shorter/Clouds

From The Collected Poems of Dora Sigerson Shorter (1907).
CLOUDS
Laughter and song for my cheer, Life is so fair. None so happy as I Anywhere; Birds in the woods carol clear, White clouds in the sky.
Song silent and brow with a frown. Why is this so? Guiltless am I Would you know, The lark from the heavens drops down; Grey clouds in the sky.
Sighing and tears for my sorrow, Life is so drear. None so weary as I, 'Tis a mere Waste of love, and a wish for to-morrow— Black night in the sky.
# The Collected Poems of Dora Sigerson Shorter/Death of Gormlaith

From The Collected Poems of Dora Sigerson Shorter (1907).
DEATH OF GORMLAITH
Gormlaith, wife of Niall Glundu, Happy was your dream that night. Dreamt you woke in sudden fright, Niall of Ulster stood by you.
Niall of Ulster, dead and gone, Many a year had come again, Him who was in battle slain Now your glad eyes rest upon.
Well your gaze caressed him o'er, His dark head you loved so well, Where the coulin curled and fell On the clever brow he bore.
Those brave shoulders wide and strong, Many a Dane had quaked to see. Never phantom fair as he,— Wife of Glimdu, gazed so long.
Glad Queen Gormlaith, at the dawn Up you sprang to draw him near, Ah I the grey cock loud and dear Crew, and then the Ghost was gone.
Stretched your arms in vain request. Slipped and fell, and wounded sore Called his name, then spake no more. For the bed-stick pierced your breast.
Queen, your smiling lips were dumb With that last dear name you cried, Yet some had it, ere you died, Niall of Ulster whispered, “Come.”
# The Collected Poems of Dora Sigerson Shorter/At Pompeii

From The Collected Poems of Dora Sigerson Shorter (1907).
AT POMPEII
At Pompeii I heard a woman laugh, And turned to find the reason of her mirth; Saw but the silent figure of a girl That centuries had mummied into earth:
The running figure of a little maid With face half -hidden in her shielding arm, Silent, yet screaming, yea, in ev'ry limb The cruel torture of her dread alarm.
At Pompeii I heard a maiden shriek All down the years from out the distant past; Blind in the awful darkness still she runs; Death in the mould of fear her form has cast.
A little maid once soft and sweet and white. Full of the morning's hope, and love and joy, That Nature, moving to the voice of Time, Shook her dark wings to wither and destroy.
At Pompeii I saw a woman bend Above this dead, pronounce an epitaph; The mother of a child, it may have been. Oh horrible! I heard a woman laugh.
