# Translations into English Verse from the Poems of Davyth ap Gwilym/On a Mountain Tumulus

This poem is written by “Maelog” (Arthur James Johnes).
ON A MOUNTAIN TUMULUS.
The following poem is written in allusion to a well-known usage formerly prevalent amongst the Celtic race, by whom it was considered a mark of honour to a deceased person to add a stone to the mound that was raised over the spot in which his remains reposed. Accordingly, his friends and followers made a practice of throwing a stone on his grave whenever they passed by, thereby gradually increasing the height and dimensions of the monument of the illustrious dead. This custom gave rise to a proverbial expression ‘to add another stone to his tarn,’ implying to do a kindness to the person alluded to.
Peace to the shades of him who sleeps Beneath yon tarn’s aërial steeps! Far nobler is his tomb Than all the pomp that waits the great— The tears of well dissembled hate, The dark procession’s gloom, The solemn knell at midnight toll’d, The glorious requiem sadly roll’d From yon majestic pile, Whose awful echoes wildly spread, Then fade (like voices of the dead) Beneath the moonbeam’s smile! But though the despot’s vanish’d power May claim the pageant of an hour—
Can tyranny command A sepulchre like this sublime, Mid ev’ry shock of storm and time, Still fresh from nature’s hand! The urn’s proud characters decay, And truth rebukes the hireling lay— The venal poet’s moan; But brighter blooms this artless mound, Where ev’ry stone that rises round By sorrow’s hand was thrown! For earth and heav’n with man combine To renovate this lonely shrine— New verdure to impart To its wild knoll and grassy surge, That speak upon the mountain’s verge, The grief of many a heart! Alas! if ev’ry grave were reft Of all, except what love has left, How soon would melt in air The pond’rous tomb, the sculptured bust, And leave the king’s, the warrior’s dust— To these compared how bare!
# Translations into English Verse from the Poems of Davyth ap Gwilym/A Bard's Address

This poem is written by “Maelog” (Arthur James Johnes).
A BARD’S ADDRESS TO THE RIVER WYE.
On the borders of Radnorshire and Brecknockshire the Wye flows for a considerable distance over a succession of rocky stairs or ledges: the banks of this river are rocky and beautifully wooded.
Sweet Wye, with thy waters now white as the snow, Now dark as the thunder-cloud’s banner of woe, With thy curtain of forests that soar to the skies, From the rocks that like shields to environ thee rise, I would choose thee, fair river, to be—as thou art— A zone to the land of my home and my heart! Oh! why should we wander beyond thy wild stream, From the land of the harp, and the bard, and his dream? The streams of the Saxon are languid and dead, Like the mist on the mountain when summer is fled, Beside them the castle of tyranny soars, The rock and the mountain are far from their shores! Then ne’er will I quit the free river and proud, That floats o’er her rocks like a ladder of cloud, With her wild thronging billows, now soften’d, now shrill, Like the laugh of fair infants that sport o’er the hill— Now all glowing with light, now all snowy with foam, Like the maids of the land of my heart and my home!
# Translations into English Verse from the Poems of Davyth ap Gwilym/Address to a Birch Tree

FROM THE BARD’S
ADDRESS TO A BIRCH TREE,
THAT HAD BEEN CONVERTED INTO A MAY-POLE IN THE TOWN OF LLANIDLOES, IN MONTGOMERYSHIRE.
Ah! birch tree, with the verdant locks! And reckless mind—long hast thou been A wand’rer from thy native rocks; With canopy of tissue green, And stem that mid the sylvan scene A sceptre of the forest stood— Thou art a traitress to the wood! How oft, in May’s short nights of old, To my love-messenger and me Thou didst a couch of leaves unfold! Thou wert a house of melody,— Proud music soared from every bough; Ah! those who loved thee sorrow now! Thy living branches teemed and rang With every song the woodlands know, And every woodland flow’ret sprang To life—thy spreading tent below. Proud guardian of the public way, Such wert thou, while thou didst obey The counsel of my beauteous bride— And in thy native grove reside!
But now thy stem is mute and dark, No more by lady’s reverence cheered; Rent from its trunk, torn from its park, The luckless tree again is reared— (Small sign of honour or of grace!) To mark the parish market-place! Long as St. Idloes’ town shall be A patroness of poesy— Long as its hospitality The bard shall freely entertain, My birch! thy lofty stature shall remain!

AS WINDS THAT BLOW AGAINST A STAR
(For Aline)
NOW by what whim of wanton chance Do radiant eyes know sombre days? And feet that shod in light should dance Walk weary and laborious ways?
But rays from Heaven, white and whole, May penetrate the gloom of earth; And tears but nourish, in your soul, The glory of celestial mirth.
The darts of toil and sorrow, sent Against your peaceful beauty, are As foolish and as impotent As winds that blow against a star.
# Trees and Other Poems/Citizen of the World

CITIZEN OF THE WORLD
NO longer of Him be it said "He hath no place to lay His head."
In every land a constant lamp Flames by His small and mighty camp.
There is no strange and distant place That is not gladdened by His face.
And every nation kneels to hail The Splendour shining through Its veil.
Cloistered beside the shouting street, Silent, He calls me to His feet.
Imprisoned for His love of me He makes my spirit greatly free.
And through my lips that uttered sin The King of Glory enters in.
# Trees and Other Poems/Dave Lilly

DAVE LILLY
THERE'S a brook on the side of Greylock that used to be full of trout, But there's nothing there now but minnows; they say it is all fished out. I fished there many a Summer day some twenty years ago, And I never quit without getting a mess of a dozen or so.
There was a man, Dave Lilly, who lived on the North Adams road, And he spent all his time fishing, while his neighbors reaped and sowed. He was the luckiest fisherman in the Berkshire hills, I think. And when he didn't go fishing he'd sit in the tavern and drink.
Well, Dave is dead and buried and nobody cares very much; They have no use in Greylock for drunkards and loafers and such. ​But I always liked Dave Lilly, he was pleasant as you could wish; He was shiftless and good-for-nothing, but he certainly could fish.
The other night I was walking up the hill from Williamstown And I came to the brook I mentioned, and I stopped on the bridge and sat down. I looked at the blackened water with its little flecks of white And I heard it ripple and whisper in the still of the Summer night.
And after I'd been there a minute it seemed to me I could feel The presence of someone near me, and I heard the hum of a reel. And the water was churned and broken, and something was brought to land By a twist and flirt of a shadowy rod in a deft and shadowy hand.
​I scrambled down to the brookside and hunted all about; There wasn't a sign of a fisherman; there wasn't a sign of a trout. But I heard somebody chuckle behind the hollow oak And I got a whiff of tobacco like Lilly used to smoke.
It's fifteen years, they tell me, since anyone fished that brook; And there's nothing in it but minnows that nibble the bait off your hook. But before the sun has risen and after the moon has set I know that it's full of ghostly trout for Lilly's ghost to get.
I guess I'll go to the tavern and get a bottle of rye And leave it down by the hollow oak, where Lilly's ghost went by. ​I meant to go up on the hillside and try to find his grave And put some flowers on it—but this will be better for Dave.

# Trees and Other Poems/Alarm Clocks

ALARM CLOCKS
WHEN Dawn strides out to wake a dewy farm Across green fields and yellow hills of hay The little twittering birds laugh in his way And poise triumphant on his shining arm. He bears a sword of flame but not to harm The wakened life that feels his quickening sway And barnyard voices shrilling "It is day!" Take by his grace a new and alien charm.
But in the city, like a wounded thing That limps to cover from the angry chase, He steals down streets where sickly arc-lights sing, And wanly mock his young and shameful face; And tiny gongs with cruel fervor ring In many a high and dreary sleeping place.

TO MY MOTHER
Gentlest of critics, does your memory hold (I know it does) a record of the days When I, a schoolboy, earned your generous praise For halting verse and stories crudely told? Over those childish scrawls the years have rolled, They might not know the world's unfriendly gaze; But still your smile shines down familiar ways, Touches my words and turns their dross to gold.
More dear to-day than in that vanished time Comes your high praise to make me proud and strong. In my poor notes you hear Love's splendid chime, So unto you does this, my work belong. Take, then, a little gift of fragile rhyme: Your heart will change it to authentic song.

# Tredway v. Sanger/Opinion of the Court

* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
107 U.S. 323
Tredway v. Sanger
There is but a single question presented by this appeal, to-wit, whether, if a promissory note, negotiable by the law-merchant, is made by a citizen of one state to a citizen of the same state, and secured by a mortgage from the maker to the payee, an indorsee of the note can, since the act of March 3, 1875, c. 137, (1 Supp. Rev. St. 173,) sue in the courts of the United States to foreclose the mortgage, and obtain a sale of the mortgaged property.
It was held in Sheldon v. Sill, 8 How. 441, that such a suit could not be maintained under the eleventh section of the judiciary act of 1789, because in equity the mortgage was but an incident of the debt, and as the indorsee could not sue on the note, he could not sue to enforce the mortgage. The language of Mr. Justice GRIER, speaking for the court in that case, is this, (p. 450:) 'The complainant in this case is the purchaser and assignee of a sum of money, a debt, a chose in action, not of a tract of land. He seeks to recover by this action a debt assigned to him. He is, therefore, the 'assignee of a chose in action,' within the letter and spirit of the act of congress under consideration, and cannot support this action in the circuit court of the United States, where his assignor could not.' This clearly implies that if a suit could be brought on the note, it could for the foreclosure of the mortgage, should there be no other objection to the jurisdiction than the citizenship of the payee and maker.
In the judiciary act of 1789 it was expressly provided that the circuit courts could not take cognizance of a suit to recover the contents of any promissory note or other chose in action in favor of an assignee, unless a suit might have been prosecuted in such court to recover the contents, if no assignment had been made, except in cases of foreign bills of exchange. The act of 1875, however, removes this restriction in suits on 'promissory notes negotiable by the law-merchant;' and now the jurisdiction in such suits is made to depend on the citizenship of the parties as in other cases.
Since, therefore, the indorsee could have sued in the circuit court on the note now in question, it follows that, as there is no objection to the jurisdiction other than the citizenship of the original payee, the suit to foreclose the mortgage was properly brought. The decree is affirmed.
