Where is that glory now?
Sing me a song of a lad that is gone;
Say; could that lad be I?
Merry of soul he sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye。
Give me again all that was there;
Give me the sun that shone!
Give me the eyes; give me the soul;
Give me the lad that's gone!
Sing me a song of a lad that is gone;
Say; could that lad be I?
Merry of soul he sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye。
Billow and breeze; islands and seas;
Mountains of rain and sun;
All that was good; all that was fair;
All that was me is gone。
XLIII … TO S。 R。 CROCKETT (On receiving a Dedication)
BLOWS the wind to…day; and the sun and the rain are flying;
Blows the wind on the moors to…day and now;
Where about the graves of the martyrs the whaups are crying;
My heart remembers how!
Grey recumbent tombs of the dead in desert places;
Standing stones on the vacant wine…red moor;
Hills of sheep; and the howes of the silent vanished races;
And winds; austere and pure:
Be it granted me to behold you again in dying;
Hills of home! and to hear again the call;
Hear about the graves of the martyrs the peewees crying;
And hear no more at all。
Vailima。
XLIV … EVENSONG
THE embers of the day are red
Beyond the murky hill。
The kitchen smokes: the bed
In the darkling house is spread:
The great sky darkens overhead;
And the great woods are shrill。
So far have I been led;
Lord; by Thy will:
So far I have followed; Lord; and wondered still。
The breeze from the enbalmed land
Blows sudden toward the shore;
And claps my cottage door。
I hear the signal; Lord … I understand。
The night at Thy command
Comes。 I will eat and sleep and will not question more。
Vailima。
