An Indian-Summer Reverie

Where Memory

Wanders like gleaning Ruth; and as the sheaves
Of wheat and barley wavered in the eye
Of Boaz as the maiden's glow went by.

Extreme Unction

And the great Maker did not scoru
Out of himself to fashion me.

The Ghost-Seer

There walks Judas, he who sold
Yesterday his Lord for gold.

Ode

And, bright as Noah saw it, yet
For you the arching rainbow glows,
A sight in Paradise denied

To unfallen Adam and his bride.

To John G. Palfrey

Our brazen idol's feet of treacherous clay!

The Vision of Sir Launfal

Daily with souls that cringe and plot,
We Sinais climb and know it not.

'Tis only God may be had for the asking.

But he who gives but a slender mite.

An image of Him who died on the tree.
"Lo, it is I; be not afraid!"

This crust is my body broken for thee,
This water his blood that died on the tree.

The Biglow Papers

A cross of striped pig an' one o' Jacob's lambs.

For Jacob warn't a suckemstance to Jeff at finan cierin';

He never'd thought o' borryin' from Esau like all nater. We want some more o' Gideon's sword, I jedge.

He scatters roun' onscriptur'l views relatin' to Ones'

mus.

It growed an' growed like Jonah's gourd.

It's a-follerin' Moses 'thout losin' the flesh-pots. .

Under the Willows

Finding out poison as the first men did
By tasting and then suffering.

An Invitation

As upon Adam, red like blood,
"Tween him and Eden's happy wood,
Glared the commissioned angel's shield.

The Wind-Harp

This scripture is sadder,-"the other left"!

Ode Recited at the Harvard Commemoration
Whether from Baal's stone obscene,
Or from the shrine serene

Of God's pure altar brought.

Nor dare trust

The Cathedral

The Rock of Ages to their chemic tests.
We can read Bethel on a pile of stones,
And, seeing where God has been, trust in Him.

Where every man's his own Melchisedek,
How make him reverent of a King of kings?

The Flying Dutchman

In the pulpit I've known of his preaching,
Out of hearing behind the time,

Some statement of Balaam's impeaching,
Giving Eve a due sense of her crime.

In the Half-Way House

We called it our Eden, that small patent-baker,
When life was half moonshine and half Mary Jane;
But the butcher, the baker, the candlestick-maker!-
Did Adam have duns and slip down a back-lane?
Nay, after the Fall did the modiste keep coming
With last styles of fig-leaf to Madam Eve's bower?
Did Jubal, or whoever taught the girls thrumming,
Make the patriarchs deaf at a dollar the hour?

At the Burns Centennial

Then rang a clear tone over all,
"One plea for him allow me:

I once heard call from him o'er me, 'Saul,
Why persecutest thou me?'"

"If not a sparrow fall, unless
The Father sees and knows it."

At the Commencement Dinner

Some poor stick requesting, like Aaron's, to bud.
The builders of Babel, to whose zeal the lungs
Of the children of men owe confusion of tongues.
