  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。
  End
