POETRY
A hight Watch.

Tout iasSe, toNte casse, toutc pasSe."
Upon the threshold of her door she lies
he yellow harvest light is over all;
Once more she watches as the daylight dies
Once more she watches the long shadows fall.
Around the silent Lind stretched waste and bare;
Below the waters rose and broke and Tell;
And throbbng through the heavy, MINDLESS air
Came the dull murmur OF the distant swell.
Ths wild white sea gull screams above her head,
And bloodless roses climb about the door,
And in her heavy eyes delight is dead,
Aud passion lies death-bound forever more.
iIe- naked feet rest on the sharp gray stone,
Her empty hands fall idly still and cold
Her lips forget tue joy they once had nown,
The vain, sweet rapture that was theirs of old.
The damp night wind is rising through the land
Stirring the grasses on the low seawall,
The chill sea mist creeps slow along the sand.
Ana in the night the dark waves rise and fall.
Tie midnight tide comes swiftly up the Shore
Across the darkened sky the black clowds sweep
And still she watches by that silent door
With dreamless eyes weighed down with pain and
sleep.
AMI hour by hour the restless waters rise,
Aud drcnch her loosened hair with wind blown
spray;
About her weary feet the sea foam lies,
And yet she watches-t'll the break of day.
Far of the sunk moon fingers, dim and red
Far off the pale dawn wakens, chill and gray;
Over the land shadowy light is spread,
And With the night the storm winds die away.
Tie waves have brought their burden to her feet
Her drowned Love, with blood-red seaweed
crowned
Her drowned Love! (oh, bitter oke and sweet
With which Loves hands our lille hearts have
boundD
Silent and cold, low at her door he lies,
About his brow clings close the tangled hair,
And closed forever the blinded eyes
The passionate lips are still and calm and fair.
Take back thy Love-he has come back at last
Take back thy Love of lonely, desolate years;
Kiss his dead lips to life-forget tue past
Wipe OFF the stain upon his brow with tears!
Slowly she rses-Liie has run its race
il'r gray eyes look upon his crowned head
On the darn waters, on the calm white face
Il I'd dull, dead eyes she looks upon the dead.
No cry from her set lips no flush of hahn
lie has come back; bat she had long TO wait;
Long, weary years had she kept watch in vain
Love has come back, but he has come too late
Take back thy dead, Q strong, dark, ruthless Sea,
Hide his fair face in beds Of wind-blo foam
Fear not, pale Death, he will be true to thee!
Fear not, Sea, he will not leave thy h ONE.
Over the threshold drifts the tide. The door
Is shut. The waves have borne their dead away
The Watcher Is withn-but never more
Wi she keep watch until the break of day.
