The Centenary of Robert browning.

Singer of hope for all the world,
Is 1t still morning where thou art,
Or are the clouds that hide thee
furled
Around dark and silent heart?
The sacred chords thy hand could
wake
Are fallen on utter silence here;
And hearts too little even to break
Have made an idol of despair.
Come back! The fools that still deny
And still destroy in hourly Jest
Tempt not thy truth with sophistry,
But find 1t still too stern test.
Come back to England, where thy
May
Returns, but not that rapturous
light.
God is not in His heaven today
And with thy country naught is
right.
Paradox, mockery. doubt and greed
Break down the shrines with crack
ling laughter.
And where a jester deigus TO lead
The lawless throng runs tumbling
after.
And some go mumming through the
gloom.
And laugh to find all souls astray:
And some-our noblest-fold their
doom
Around them in the Roman way.
But thou, whose thought, profound
and pure.
Moved like one intricate world
sublime
with wheeling system, through the
obscure.
Unfathomed skies of life and time.
Across the dark didst flash the light
Back TO its primal found above,
Nor dream the nothingness of night
Gould e'er bring forth the wings of
love.
Or close them! Hear us, passionate
soul
Crowned. with rich grief, most
strong, most wise.
o, still point us to the goal
That glorified thy constant eyes.
NO iaclle ilatterers of the hour
Dare mock as facile thy full hone,
whose mail-clad worlds marched on
In power
Up, up, not down, the Aycrniap
slope.
NO swallow hearts dare find thy faith
SWALLOW. Deep, deeper than the
sea,
Abides the love that stormed ,brorcb
death
And marched to Immortality.

that no attempt would be made to

unless he failed to keep up his work.
Following is the letter:
