ANIGHT WATCH.


Upon the threshold OF her door she hes
The yellow harvest light is over all
Once more she watches as the dayllght uies
Oace more she watches the long shauo"s ia
Arnnnd The silent land stretched waste and bare
Rsio,y me waters rose and broke and fell:
And throbbing through the heavy windless air
came the duh murmur of the distant swell.
The wild white sea-gull screams above her head,
And bloodless roses climb about the door,
And in her heavy eyes delight is dead,
And passion lies death-bound for eyermore.
Her naked feet rest on the sharp gray stone,
. Her empty hands fall idly still and cold
Her lips forget the JOY they once had Enpwn,
The vain sweet rapture that was the.'s OF OIL
The damp night wind is rising through the land'
Stirring the grasses on the low sea WALL
The chill sea mist creeps slow along the SAND
And in the night the dark waves rise anu iail-
The midnight tide comes swiftly up the shore.
Across the darkened sky the black clouds sweep
And still she watches by that silent door;
With dreamless eyes weighed down with pain and
sleep.
And hour by hour the restless waters rise,
And drench her loosened hair with wind blown
About her weary feet the sea-foam lies,
And yet she watches-till the break Of day.
Far of the sunk moon fingers, dim and red;
Far of the pale dawn waSens, chill and gray
over the land shadowy light Is spread.
And with the night the storm-winds die away
The waves have brought their burden to her feet,
Her drowned love, with blood-red sea-weed
crowned.
Her drowned love-oh, bitter yoke and sweet
With which loves hands our idle hearts have
bound.
Silent and cold. low ai her door he lies.
About his brow clings close the tangled hair,
And closed forever are the blinded eyes;
The passionate lips are Still and calm and fair-
Take back thy love, he has come back al last,
Take back thy love OF lonely desolate years;
Kiss his deadlips TO life, forget the past,
Mine of The stain uDOQ his brow WIN tears
Slowly she rises. life has run lis race,
Her gray eyes look upon his crowned head,
o. the dark waters. on the calm white face.
With dull, dead eyes she looks upon the dead.
No cry from her set lips no flush of pain,
He has come back but she had long 10 wait
Long weary wears had she kept watch In vain;
Love has come back, but he has come too late.
Take back thy dead. oh strong, dark ruthless sea,
Hide his fair face in beds OF wind-blown loan
Fear not. pale death, he will be true TO thee
Fear not, o sea, he Will not leave thy home
Over the threshold drifts the tide. The door
Is shut The waves have borne their dead away,
The watcher Is within--but never more
VIII she keep watch until the break OF day.
