Excerpt from Sagas of Vaster Britain: Poems of the Race, the Empire, and the Divinity of Man The Eluding Angel Sweeter than music, Stronger than joy, Rarer than knowledge For all worlds fain, Ever recurring, Clings to the heart That high and poignant Poetical pain: - Heard in the under- Tones of the springtime, Under the sigh of The leaves and the grass, Under the refluent Winds as they pass.

Excerpt from Lake Lyrics and Other Poems Vapor and blue. Domed with the azure of heaven, Floored with a pavement of pearl, Clothed all about with a brightness Soft as the eyes of a girl, Girt with a magical girdle, Rimmed with a vapor of rest - These are the inland waters, These are the lakes of the west. Voices of slumberous music, Spirits of mist and of flame, Moonlit memories left here By gods who long ago came, And vanishing l...

Trim the sails the weird stars under - Past the iron hail and thunder, Past the mystery and the wonder, Sails our fated bark, Past the myriad voices hailing, Past the moaning and the wailing, The far voices failing, failing, Drive we to the dark. Past the headlands grim and sombre, Past the shores of mist and slumber, Leagues on leagues no man may number Soundings none can mark,...
