Pan pipes soundlessly @
For the unheeding bees,
Bound by the trailing tresses of the vine
To soft captivity,
Neptune has left his waves
To stand beneath the frozen. green cascades
OF summer trees. t,-..a
Is the Sea-God. then, content to rule
The ripping of wayward flowers,
Lulled by the song that many birds pour out
From their green cradles, gently rocked
Songs that foam like kissing rain
Among the heavy blossoms?
Can he control
The music of the wind through poplar trees, Il
Those trees, instrument
That any wind however young
Or drunk with browsing scent
OF petals, crusht by the flaming fingers Of the sun.
Can play upon?
But darkness, the deliverer,
Comes with dreams III
Nights grapc-stained waves
Cool his aching body;
The song of the nightingale
Falls round him
Like the froth of little waves;
The warm touch of the evening wind
Thaws the green cascades
TIL you hear
Every liquid sound within the world
Fountains falling waterfalls,
The low murmur Of the rolling sea- "
And Neptune dreams that he is free.

The following poem evidently is the reaction Of
Osbert Sitwell to the sight of statue of the sea

GRAMPA SCHUYLER.

Grampa Schuler, when he was young,
Had crest of hair, and shining eyes
He wore red-flowered waistcoats,
Wild Byronic ties. Z,
The whole land of Germany
Wasn't wide enough
He ran away one night when winter
Seas were fierce. and rough.
He has a sleek farm here
With already a settled air.
He's patriarchal, with his sons
And daughters round him everywhere.
His sons SON Jim has fiery eyes
He wants to go where the land is newl
Grampa bitterly wonders: what are
Young fools coming to-"

PRAYER AT TIMBER-LINE.

Oh that could fashion words
As the wind bends the trees
Could shape my lines as shining-bare,
As exquisite, as these
White branches of the writhen pine
Standing alone at timber-linel
Winds of life, blow stinging-free
Into my heart that's waiting. still
Beat on my words increasingly,
And shape them to your stern white will!

In eyes. and in the strange
