THE STAKE
Table of Contents
Naseboro' held him guilty,
Crowther took his part,
Who lies at the cross-roads,
A stake through his heart.
Spring calls, and the stake answers
Throwing out shoots;
The towns debate what life is this
Sprung from such roots.
Naseboro' says A Upas Tree
;
A Rose,
says Crowther;
But April's here to declare it
Neither one nor other.
Neither ill nor very fair,
Rose nor Upas,
But an honest oak-tree,
As its parent was.
A green-tufted oak-tree
On the green wold,
Careless as the dead heart
That the roots enfold.
THE TROLL'S NOSEGAY
Table of Contents
A simple nosegay! was that much to ask?
(Winter still gloomed, with scarce a bud yet showing).
He loved her ill, if he resigned the task.
Somewhere,
she cried, there must be blossom blowing.
It seems my lady wept and the troll swore
By Heaven he hated tears: he'd cure her spleen;
Where she had begged one flower, he'd shower fourscore,
A haystack bunch to amaze a China Queen.
Cold fog-drawn Lily, pale mist-magic Rose
He conjured, and in a glassy cauldron set
With elvish unsubstantial Mignonette
And such vague bloom as wandering dreams enclose.
But she?
Awed,
Charmed to tears,
Distracted,
Yet—
Even yet, perhaps, a trifle piqued—who knows?
