Excerpt: ... THE COMING. I Gathered flowers the summer long; I dozed the days on sunny leas, And wove my fancies into song, Or dreamed in aimless ease. Or watched, from jutting cliffs, the dyes Of changeful waters under me, The lazy gulls just dip and rise, White specks upon the sea -- And far away, where blue to blue Was wed, the ships that came and went, And thought, O happy world! and drew Therefrom a full content. My mates toiled in the ripening field, Nor paused for rest in cool or heat; The yellow grain made haste to yield Its harvesting complete: My mates toiled in their pleasant homes; They plucked the fruit from laden boughs, And sang -- For if the Master comes And find no ready house ! -- 98 THE COMING. And far and strange their singing seemed, And harsh the voices every one, That woke the pleasant dream I dreamed To thought of tasks undone. Yet still I waited, lingered still, Won by a cloud, a soaring lark; Till, by and by, the land was chill, And all the sky was dark. And lo, the Master! Through the night My mates come forth to welcome Him, Their labor done, their garments white, While mine are stained and dim. They bring to Him their golden sheaves, To Him their finished toil belongs, While I have but these withered leaves, And these poor, foolish songs! MEMORIAL POEM. WRITTEN FOR THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC, SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, DECORATION DAY, 1881. The sea-tides ebb and flow; The seasons come and go, Summer and sun succeed the cloud and snow, And April rain awakes the violet. Earth puts away Her sombre robes, and cheeks with tear-drops wet In some sad yesterday Dimple again with smiles, and half forget Their grief, as the warm rose Forgets the night-dews when the noontide glows. Change follows upon change Swift as the hours; and far away,... Ina Donna Coolbrith, Books, History, Songs from the Golden Gate Books>History This is an OCR edition without illustrations or index.

He hears the laughter of her rills, Her melodies of many voices, And greets her while his heart rejoices. She, to his spirit undefiled, Makes answer as a little child; Unveiled before his eyes she stands, And gives her secrets to his hands. LONGINGL O Foolish wisdom sought in books! O aimless fret of household tasks! 0 chains that bind the hand and mind - A fuller life my spirit asks! For there the grand hills, summer-crowned, Slope greenly downward to the seas; One hour of rest upon their breast Were worth a year of days like these. Their cool, soft green to ease the pain Of eyes that ache o'er printed words; This weary noise - the city's voice, Lulled in the sound of bees and birds. For Eden's life within me stirs, And scorns the shackles that I wear; The man-life grand - pure soul, strong hand. The limb of steel, the heart of air! And I could kiss, with longing wild, Earth's dear brown bosom, loved so much, A grass-blade fanned across my hand, Would thrill me like a lover's touch. LONGING. 15 The trees would talk with me; the flowers Their hidden meanings each make known - The olden lore revived once more, When man's and nature's heart were one! And as the pardoned pair might come Back to the garden God first framed, And hear Him call at even-fall, And answer, " Here am I," unshamed - So I, from out these toils, wherein The Eden-faith grows stained and dim, Would walk, a child, through nature's wild, And hear His voice and answer Him. One sang all day, more merry than the lark That mounts the morning skies: One silent sat, and lifted patient eyes. One hear.
