DEDICATION 
 
 There are men and classes of men that stand above the 
 common herd : the soldier, the sailor and the shepherd not 
 unfrequently ; the artist rarely ; rarelier still, the clergyman ; 
 the physician almost as a rule. He is the flower (such as it 
 is) of our civilisation j and when that stage of man is done 
 with, and only remembered to be marvelled at in history, 
 he will be thought to have shared as little as any in the 
 defects of the period, and most notably exhibited the virtues 
 of the race. Generosity he has, such as is possible to those 
 who practise an art, never to those who drive a trade; 
 discretion, tested by a hundred secrets; tact, tried in a 
 thousand embarrassments; and what are more important, 
 Heraclean cheerfulness and courage. So it is that he 
 brings air and cheer into the sickroom, and often enough, 
 though not so often as he wishes, brings healing. 
 
vi DEDICATION 
 
 Gratitude is but a lame sentiment; thanks, when they 
 are expressed, are often more embarrassing than welcome ; 
 and yet I must set forth mine to a few out of many doctors 
 who have brought me comfort and help : to Dr. Willey of 
 San Francisco, whose kindness to a stranger it must be as 
 grateful to him, as it is touching to me, to remember ; to 
 Dr. Karl Ruedi of Davos, the good genius of the English 
 in his frosty mountains ; to Dr. Herbert of Paris, whom I 
 knew only for a week, and to Dr. Caissot of Montpellier, 
 whom I knew only for ten days, and who have yet written 
 their names deeply in my memory ; to Dr. Brandt of Royat j 
 to Dr. Wakefield of Nice; to Dr. Chepmell, whose visits 
 make it a pleasure to be ill ; to Dr. Horace Dobell, so wise 
 in counsel ; to Sir Andrew Clark, so unwearied in kindness ; 
 and to that wise youth, my uncle, Dr. Balfour. 
 
 I forget as many as I remember; and I ask both to 
 pardon me, these for silence, those for inadequate speech. 
 But one name I have kept on purpose to the last, because 
 it is a household word with me, and because if I had not 
 received favours from so many hands and in so many 
 
DEDICATION vii 
 
 quarters of the world, it should have stood upon this page 
 alone : that of my friend Thomas Bodley Scott of Bourne- 
 mouth. Will he accept this, although shared among so 
 many, for a dedication to himself? and when next my ill- 
 fortune (which has thus its pleasant side) brings him hurry- 
 ing to me when he would fain sit down to meat or lie down 
 to rest, will he care to remember that he takes this trouble 
 for one who is not fool enough to be ungrateful ?

NOTE 
 
 The human conscience has fled of late the troublesome 
 domain of conduct for what I should have supposed to be 
 the less congenial field of art : there she may now be said 
 to rage, and with special severity in all that touches dialect ; 
 so that in every novel the letters of the alphabet are tortured, 
 and the reader wearied, to commemorate shades of mis- 
 pronunciation. Now spelling is an art of great difficulty in 
 my eyes, and I am inclined to lean upon the printer, even in 
 common practice, rather than to venture abroad upon new 
 quests. And the Scots tongue has an orthography of its 
 own, lacking neither "authority nor author." Yet the 
 temptation is great to lend a little guidance to the bewildered 
 Englishman. Some simple phonetic artifice might defend 
 your verses from barbarous mishandling, and yet not injure 
 any vested interest. So it seems at first ; but there are 
 
x NOTE 
 
 rocks ahead. Thus, if I wish the diphthong ou to have its 
 proper value, I may write oor instead of our ; many have 
 done so and lived, and v the pillars of the universe remained 
 unshaken. But if I did so, and came presently to doun, 
 which is the classical Scots spelling of the English down, I 
 should begin to feel uneasy ; and if I went on a little farther, 
 and came to a classical Scots word, like stour or dour or 
 clour, I should know precisely where I was — that is to say, 
 that I was out of sight of land on those high seas of spelling 
 reform in which so many strong swimmers have toiled 
 vainly. To some the situation is exhilarating j as for me, I 
 give one bubbling cry and sink. The compromise at which 
 I have arrived is indefensible, and I have no thought of 
 trying to defend it. As I have stuck for the most part to 
 the proper spelling, I append a table of some common 
 vowel sounds which no one need consult ; and just to prove 
 that I belong to my age and have in me the stuff of a 
 reformer, I have used modification marks throughout. 
 Thus I can tell myself, not without pride, that I have 
 added a fresh stumbling-block for English readers, and 
 
NOTE xi 
 
 to a page of print in my native tongue, have lent a new 
 uncouthness. Sed non nobis. 
 
 I note agam, that among our new dialecticians, the local 
 habitat of every dialect is given to the square mile. I could 
 not emulate this nicety if I desired ; for I simply wrote my 
 Scots as well as I was able, not caring if it hailed from 
 Lauderdale or Angus, from the Mearns or Galloway ; if I 
 had ever heard a good word, I used it without shame ; and 
 when Scots was lacking, or the rhyme jibbed, I was glad (like 
 my betters) to fall back on English. For all that, I own to a 
 friendly feeling for the tongue of Fergusson and of Sir Walter, 
 both Edinburgh men ; and I confess that Burns has always 
 sounded in my ear like something partly foreign. And 
 indeed I am from the Lothians myself; it is there I heard 
 the language spoken about my childhood ; and it is in the 
 drawling Lothian voice that I repeat it to myself. Let the 
 precisians call my speech that of the Lothians. And if it be 
 not pure, alas ! what matters it ? The day draws near when 
 this illustrious and malleable tongue shall be quite forgotten ; 
 and Burns's Ayrshire, and Dr. Macdonald's Aberdeen-awa', 
 
xii NOTE 
 
 and Scott's brave, metropolitan utterance will be all equally 
 the ghosts of speech. Till then I would love to have my 
 hour as a native Maker, and be read by my own countryfolk 
 in our own dying language : an ambition surely rather of the 
 heart than of the head, so restricted as it is in prospect of 
 endurance, so parochial in bounds of space.

ENVOY 
 
 Go, little book, and wish to all 
 
 Flowers in the garden, meat in the hall, 
 
 A bin of wine, a spice of wit, 
 
 A house with lawns enclosing it, 
 
 A living river by the door, 
 
 A nightingale in the sycamore !

 A SONG OF THE ROAD 
 
 The gauger walked with willing foot, 
 And aye the gauger played the flute ; 
 And what should Master Gauger play 
 But Over the hills and far away ? 
 
 Whene'er I buckle on my pack 
 And foot it gaily in the track, 
 
 pleasant gauger, long since dead, 
 
 1 hear you fluting on ahead. 
 
 You go with me the self-same way — 
 The self-same air for me you play j 
 For I do think and so do you 
 It is the tune to travel to. 
 
A SONG OF THE ROAD 
 
 For who would gravely set his face 
 To go to this or t'other place ? 
 There's nothing under Heav'n so blue 
 That's fairly worth the travelling to. 
 
 On every hand the roads begin, 
 And people walk with zeal therein ; 
 But wheresoe'er the highways tend, 
 Be sure there's nothing at the end. 
 
 Then follow you, wherever hie 
 The travelling mountains of the sky. 
 Or let the streams in civil mode 
 Direct your choice upon a road ; 
 
 For one and all, or high or low, 
 Will lead you where you wish to go ; 
 And one and all go night and day 
 Over the hills and far away !

 THE CANOE SPEAKS 
 
 On the great streams the ships may go 
 
 About men's business to and fro. 
 
 But I, the egg-shell pinnace, sleep 
 
 On crystal waters ankle-deep : 
 
 I, whose diminutive design, 
 
 Of sweeter cedar, pithier pine, 
 
 Is fashioned on so frail a mould, 
 
 A hand may launch, a hand withhold : 
 
 I, rather, with the leaping trout 
 
 Wind, among lilies, in and out ; 
 
 I, the unnamed, inviolate, 
 
 Green, rustic rivers, navigate j 
 
 My dipping paddle scarcely shakes 
 
THE CANOE SPEAKS 
 
 The berry in the bramble-brakes ; 
 Still forth on my green way I wend 
 Beside the cottage garden-end ; 
 And by the nested angler fare, 
 And take the lovers unaware. 
 By willow wood and water-wheel 
 Speedily fleets my touching keel ; 
 By all retired and shady spots 
 Where prosper dim forget-me-nots j 
 By meadows where at afternoon 
 The growing maidens troop in June 
 To loose their girdles on the grass. 
 Ah ! speedier than before the glass 
 The backward toilet goes j and swift 
 As swallows quiver, robe and shift 
 And the rough country stockings lie 
 Around each young divinity. 
 When, following the recondite brook, 
 Sudden upon this scene I look, 
 
UNDERWOODS 
 
 And light with unfamiliar face 
 On chaste Diana's bathing-place, 
 Loud ring the hills about and all 
 The shallows are abandoned. . . 
 
IV 
 
 It is the season now to go 
 About the country high and low, 
 Among the lilacs hand in hand, 
 And two by two in fairy land. 
 
 The brooding boy, the sighing maid, 
 Wholly fain and half afraid, 
 Now meet along the hazel'd brook 
 To pass and linger, pause and look. 
 
 A year ago, and blithely paired, 
 Their rough-and-tumble play they shared ; 
 They kissed and quarrelled, laughed and cried, 
 A year ago at Eastertide. 
 
UNDERWOODS 
 
 With bursting heart, with fiery face, 
 She strove against him in the race j 
 He unabashed her garter saw, 
 That now would touch her skirts with awe. 
 
 Now by the stile ablaze she stops, 
 And his demurer eyes he drops ; 
 Now they exchange averted sighs 
 Or stand and marry silent eyes. 
 
 And he to her a hero is 
 And sweeter she than primroses ; 
 Their common silence dearer far 
 Than nightingale and mavis are. 
 
 Now when they sever wedded hands, 
 Joy trembles in their bosom-strands, 
 And lovely laughter leaps and falls 
 Upon their lips in madrigals. 
 
THE HOUSE BEAUTIFUL 
 
 A naked house, a naked moor, 
 A shivering pool before the door, 
 A garden bare of flowers and fruit 
 And poplars at the garden foot : 
 Such is the place that I live in, 
 Bleak without and bare within. 
 
 Yet shall your ragged moor receive 
 The incomparable pomp of eve, 
 And the cold glories of the dawn 
 Behind your shivering trees be drawn ; 
 And when the wind from place to place 
 
io UNDERWOODS 
 
 Doth the unmoored cloud-galleons chase, 
 Your garden gloom and gleam again, 
 With leaping sun, with glancing rain. 
 Here shall the wizard moon ascend 
 The heavens, in the crimson end 
 Of day's declining splendour ; here 
 The army of the stars appear. 
 The neighbour hollows dry or wet, 
 Spring shall with tender flowers beset ; 
 And oft the morning muser see 
 Larks rising from the broomy lea, 
 And every fairy wheel and thread 
 Of cobweb dew-bediamonded. 
 When daisies go, shall winter time 
 Silver the simple grass with rime ; 
 Autumnal frosts enchant the pool 
 And make the cart-ruts beautiful ; 
 And when snow-bright the moor expands, 
 How shall your children clap their hands ! 
 
THE HOUSE BEAUTIFUL 
 
 To make this earth, our hermitage, 
 A cheerful and a changeful page, 
 God's bright and intricate device 
 Of days and seasons doth suffice.

 A VISIT FROM THE SEA 
 
 Far from the loud sea beaches 
 Where he goes fishing and crying, 
 
 Here in the inland garden 
 Why is the sea-gull flying ? 
 
 Here are no fish to dive for ; 
 
 Here is the corn and lea j 
 Here are the green trees rustling. 
 
 Hie away home to sea ! 
 
 Fresh is the river water 
 
 And quiet among the rushes ; 
 
A VISIT FROM THE SEA 13 
 
 This is no home for the sea-gull 
 But for the rooks and thrushes. 
 
 Pity the bird that has wandered ! 
 
 Pity the sailor ashore ! 
 Hurry him home to the ocean, 
 
 Let him come here no more ! 
 
 High on the sea-cliff ledges 
 
 The white gulls are trooping and crying, 
 Here among rooks and roses, 
 
 Why is the sea-gull flying ?

 TO A GARDENER 
 
 Friend, in my mountain-side demesne, 
 My plain-beholding, rosy, green 
 And linnet-haunted garden-ground, 
 Let still the esculents abound. 
 Let first the onion flourish there, 
 Rose among roots, the maiden-fair, 
 Wine-scented and poetic soul 
 Of the capacious salad bowl. 
 Let thyme the mountaineer (to dress 
 The tinier birds) and wading cress, 
 The lover of the shallow brook, 
 From all my plots and borders look. 
 
TO A GARDENER 
 
 Nor crisp and ruddy radish, nor 
 Pease-cods for the child's pinafore 
 Be lacking ; nor of salad clan 
 The last and least that ever ran 
 About great nature's garden-beds. 
 Nor thence be missed the speary heads 
 Of artichoke \ nor thence the bean 
 That gathered innocent and green 
 Outsavours the belauded pea. 
 
 These tend, I prithee ; and for me, 
 Thy most long-suffering master, bring 
 In April, when the linnets sing 
 And the days lengthen more and more, 
 At sundown to the garden door. 
 And I, being provided thus, 
 Shall, with superb asparagus, 
 A book, a taper, and a cup 
 Of country wine, divinely sup. 
 
 La Solitude, Hyeres.

 TO MINNIE 
 
 (With a hand-glass) 
 A PICTURE-FRAME for yOU tO fill, 
 
 A paltry setting for your face, 
 A thing that has no worth until 
 
 You lend it something of your grace, 
 
 I send (unhappy I that sing 
 
 Laid by awhile upon the shelf) 
 
 Because I would not send a thing 
 
 Less charming than you are yourself. 
 
 And happier than I, alas ! 
 
 (Dumb thing, I envy its delight) 
 'Twill wish you well, the looking-glass, 
 
 And look you in the face to-night.

 TO K. de M. 
 
 A lover of the moorland bare 
 
 And honest country winds, you were ; 
 
 The silver-skimming rain you took ; 
 
 And loved the floodings of the brook, 
 
 Dew, frost and mountains, fire and seas, 
 
 Tumultuary silences, 
 
 Winds that in darkness fifed a tune, 
 
 And the high-riding, virgin moon. 
 
 And as the berry, pale and sharp, 
 Springs on some ditch's counterscarp 
 In our ungenial, native north — 
 You put your frosted wildings forth, 
 
UNDERWOODS 
 
 And on the heath, afar from man, 
 A strong and bitter virgin ran. 
 
 The berry ripened keeps the rude 
 And racy flavour of the wood. 
 And you that loved the empty plain 
 All redolent of wind and rain, 
 Around you still the curlew sings — 
 The freshness of the weather clings— 
 The maiden jewels of the rain 
 Sit in your dabbled locks again. 
 
TO N. V. de G. S. 
 
 The unfathomable sea, and time, and tears, 
 The deeds of heroes and the crimes of kings 
 Dispart us ; and the river of events 
 Has, for an age of years, to east and west 
 More widely borne our cradles. Thou to me 
 Art foreign, as when seamen at the dawn 
 Descry a land far off and know not which. 
 So I approach uncertain ; so I cruise 
 Round thy mysterious islet, and behold 
 Surf and great mountains and loud river-bars, 
 And from the shore hear inland voices call. 
 
20 UNDERWOODS 
 
 Strange is the seaman's heart j he hopes, he fears ; 
 Draws closer and sweeps wider from that coast ; 
 Last, his rent sail refits, and to the deep 
 His shattered prow uncomforted puts back. 
 Yet as he goes he ponders at the helm 
 Of that bright island ; where he feared to touch, 
 His spirit readventures ; and for years, 
 Where by his wife he slumbers safe at home, 
 Thoughts of that land revisit him ; he sees 
 The eternal mountains beckon, and awakes 
 Yearning for that far home that might have been. 
 
XI 
 
 TO WILL. H. LOW 
 
 Youth now flees on feathered foot, 
 Faint and fainter sounds the flute, 
 Rarer songs of gods j and still 
 Somewhere on the sunny hill, 
 Or along the winding stream, 
 Through the willows, flits a dream ; 
 Flits but shows a smiling face, 
 Flees but with so quaint a grace, 
 None can choose to stay at home, 
 All must follow, all must roam. 
 
22 UNDERWOODS 
 
 This is unborn beauty : she 
 Now in air floats high and free, 
 Takes the sun and breaks the blue ;- 
 Late with stooping pinion flew 
 Raking hedgerow trees, and wet 
 Her wing in silver streams, and set 
 Shining foot on temple roof : 
 Now again she flies aloof, 
 Coasting mountain clouds and kiss't 
 By the evening's amethyst. 
 
 In wet wood and miry lane, 
 Still we pant and pound in vain j 
 Still with leaden foot we chase 
 Waning pinion, fainting face j 
 Still with gray hair we stumble on, 
 Till, behold, the vision gone ! 
 
TO WILL. H. LOW 23 
 
 Where hath fleeting beauty led ? 
 To the doorway of the dead. 
 Life is over, life was gay : 
 We have come the primrose way. 
 
XII 
 
 TO MRS. WILL. H. LOW 
 
 Even in the bluest noonday of July, 
 
 There could not run the smallest breath of wind 
 
 But all the quarter sounded like a wood ; 
 
 And in the chequered silence and above 
 
 The hum of city cabs that sought the Bois, 
 
 Suburban ashes shivered into song. 
 
 A patter and a chatter and a chirp 
 
 And a long dying hiss — it was as though 
 
 Starched old brocaded dames through all the house 
 
 Had trailed a strident skirt, or the whole sky 
 
 Even jn a wink had over-brimmed in rain. 
 
TO MRS. WILL. H. LOW 25 
 
 Hark, in these shady parlours, how it talks 
 
 Of the near Autumn, how the smitten ash 
 
 Trembles and augurs floods ! O not too long 
 
 In these inconstant latitudes delay, 
 
 O not too late from the unbeloved north 
 
 Trim your escape ! For soon shall this low roof 
 
 Resound indeed with rain, soon shall your eyes 
 
 Search the foul garden, search the darkened rooms, 
 
 Nor find one jewel but the blazing log.

 TO H. F. BROWN 
 
 (Written during a dangerous sickness. ) 
 
 I sit and wait a pair of oars 
 On cis-Elysian river-shores. 
 Where the immortal dead have sate, 
 Tis mine to sit and meditate ; 
 To re-ascend life's rivulet, 
 Without remorse, without regret ; 
 And sing my Alma Genetrix 
 Among the willows of the Styx. 
 
 And lo, as my serener soul 
 
 Did these unhappy shores patrol, 
 
TO H. F. BROWN 27 
 
 And wait with an attentive ear 
 The coming of the gondolier, 
 Your fire-surviving roll I took, 
 Your spirited and happy book; 1 
 Whereon, despite my frowning fate, 
 It did my soul so recreate 
 That all my fancies fled away 
 On a Venetian holiday. 
 
 Now, thanks to your triumphant care, 
 
 Your pages clear as April air, 
 
 The sails, the bells, the birds, I know, 
 
 And the far-off Friulan snow ; 
 
 The land and sea, the sun and shade, 
 
 And the blue even lamp-inlaid. 
 
 For this, for these, for all, O friend, 
 
 For your whole book from end to end — 
 
 1 Life on the Lagoons, by H. F. Brown, originally burned in the fire 
 at Messrs. Kegan Paul, Trench, and Co. 's.

 For Paron Piero's muttonham — 
 I your defaulting debtor am. 
 
 Perchance, reviving, yet may I 
 To your sea-paven city hie, 
 And in a/eke, some day yet 
 Light at your pipe my cigarette.

 TO ANDREW LANG 
 
 Dear Andrew, with the brindled hair, 
 Who glory to have thrown in air, 
 High over arm, the trembling reed, 
 By Ale and Kail, by Till and Tweed : 
 An equal craft of hand you show 
 The pen to guide, the fly to throw : 
 I count you happy starred ; for God, 
 When He with inkpot and with rod 
 Endowed you, bade your fortune lead 
 Forever by the crooks of Tweed, 
 Forever by the woods of song 
 And lands that to the Muse belong ; 
 Or if in peopled streets, or in 
 The abhorred pedantic sanhedrim, 
 
30 UNDERWOODS 
 
 It should be yours to wander, still 
 
 Airs of the morn, airs of the hill, 
 
 The plovery Forest and the seas 
 
 That break about the Hebrides, 
 
 Should follow over field and plain 
 
 And find you at the window pane ; 
 
 And you again see hill and peel, 
 
 And the bright springs gush at your heel. 
 
 So went the fiat forth, and so 
 
 Garrulous like a brook you go, 
 
 With sound of happy mirth and sheen 
 
 Of daylight — whether by the green 
 
 You fare that moment, or the gray j 
 
 Whether you dwell in March or May ; 
 
 Or whether treat of reels and rods 
 
 Or of the old unhappy gods : 
 
 Still like a brook your page has shone, 
 
 And your ink sings of Helicon.

 In ancient tales, O friend, thy spirit dwelt ; 
 
 There, from of old, thy childhood passed ; and there 
 
 High expectation, high delights and deeds, 
 
 Thy fluttering heart with hope and terror moved. 
 
 And thou hast heard of yore the Blatant Beast, 
 
 And Roland's horn, and that war-scattering shout 
 
 Of all-unarmed Achilles, aegis-crowned. 
 
 And perilous lands thou sawest, sounding shores 
 
 And seas and forests drear, island and dale 
 
 And mountain dark. For thou with Tristram rod'st 
 
 Or Bedevere, in farthest Lyonesse. 
 
32 UNDERWOODS 
 
 Thou hadst a booth in Samarcand, whereat 
 Side-looking Magians trafficked j thence, by night, 
 An Afreet snatched thee, and with wings upbore 
 Beyond the Aral mount ; or, hoping gain, 
 Thou, with a jar of money, didst embark, 
 For Balsorah, by sea. But chiefly thou 
 In that clear air took'st life j in Arcady 
 The haunted, land of song j and by the wells 
 Where most the gods frequent. There Chiron old, 
 In the Pelethronian antre, taught thee lore : 
 The plants, he taught, and by the shining stars 
 In forests dim to steer. There hast thou seen 
 Immortal Pan dance secret in a glade, 
 And, dancing, roll his eyes j these, where they fell, 
 Shed glee, and through the congregated oaks 
 A flying horror winged ; while all the earth 
 To the god's pregnant footing thrilled within. 
 Or whiles, beside the sobbing stream, he breathed, 
 In his clutched pipe, unformed and wizard strains, 
 
ET TU IN ARCADIA VIXISTI 33 
 
 Divine yet brutal ; which the forest heard, 
 And thou, with awe ; and far upon the plain 
 The unthinking ploughman started and gave ear. 
 
 Now things there are that, upon him who sees, . 
 A strong vocation lay ; and strains there are 
 That whoso hears shall hear for evermore. 
 For evermore thou hear'st immortal Pan 
 And those melodious godheads, ever young 
 And ever quiring, on the mountains old. 
 
 What was this earth, child of the gods, to thee ? 
 Forth from thy dreamland thou, a dreamer, cam'st, 
 And in thine ears the olden music rang, 
 And in thy mind the doings of the dead, 
 And those heroic ages long forgot. 
 To a so fallen earth, alas ! too late, 
 Alas ! in evil days, thy steps return, 
 To list at noon for nightingales, to grow 
 
34 UNDERWOODS 
 
 A dweller on the beach till Argo come 
 That came long since, a lingerer by the pool 
 Where that desired angel bathes no more. 
 
 As when the Indian to Dakota comes, 
 Or farthest Idaho, and where he dwelt, 
 He with his clan, a humming city finds ; 
 Thereon awhile, amazed, he stares, and then 
 To right and leftward, like a questing dog, 
 Seeks first the ancestral altars, then the hearth 
 Long cold with rains, and where old terror lodged, 
 And where the dead. So thee undying Hope, 
 With all her pack, hunts screaming through the years 
 Here, there, thou fleeest ; but nor here nor there 
 The pleasant gods abide, the glory dwells. 
 
 That, that was not Apollo, not the god. 
 
 This was not Venus, though she Venus seemed 
 
 A moment. And though fair yon river move, 
 
ET TU IN ARCADIA VIXISTI 35 
 
 She, all the way, from disenchanted fount 
 
 To seas unhallowed runs ; the gods forsook 
 
 Long since her trembling rushes ; from her plains 
 
 Disconsolate, long since adventure fled \ 
 
 And now although the inviting river flows, 
 
 And every poplared cape, and every bend 
 
 Or willowy islet, win upon thy soul 
 
 And to thy hopeful shallop whisper speed j 
 
 Yet hope not thou at all ; hope is no more j 
 
 And O, long since the golden groves are dead, 
 
 The faery cities vanished from the land !

 TO W. E. HENLEY 
 
 The year runs through her phases ; rain and sun, 
 Springtime and summer pass j winter succeeds ; 
 But one pale season rules the house of death. 
 Cold falls the imprisoned daylight ; fell disease 
 By each lean pallet squats, and pain and sleep 
 Toss gaping on the pillows. 
 
 But O thou ! 
 Uprise and take thy pipe. Bid music flow, 
 Strains by good thoughts attended, like the spring 
 The swallows follow over land and sea. 
 Pain sleeps at once ; at once, with open eyes, 
 Dozing despair awakes. The shepherd sees 
 
TO W. E. HENLEY 37 
 
 His flock come bleating home ; the seaman hears 
 Once more the cordage rattle. Airs of home ! 
 Youth, love and roses blossom ; the gaunt ward 
 Dislimns and disappears, and, opening out, 
 Shows brooks and forests, and the blue beyond 
 Of mountains. 
 
 Small the pipe ; but O ! do thou, 
 Peak-faced and suffering piper, blow therein 
 The dirge of heroes dead ; and to these sick, 
 These dying, sound the triumph over death. 
 Behold ! each greatly breathes ; each tastes a joy 
 Unknown before, in dying ; for each knows 
 A hero dies with him — though unfulfilled, 
 Yet conquering truly — and not dies in vain. 
 
 So is pain cheered, death comforted ; the house 
 Of sorrow smiles to listen. Once again — 
 O thou, Orpheus and Heracles, the bard 
 And the deliverer, touch the stops again !

 HENRY JAMES 
 
 Who comes to-night ? We ope the doors in vain. 
 Who comes ? My bursting walls, can you contain 
 The presences that now together throng 
 Your narrow entry, as with flowers and song, 
 As with the air of life, the breath of talk ? 
 Lo, how these fair immaculate women walk 
 Behind their jocund maker ; and we see 
 Slighted Be Mauves, and that far different she, 
 Gressie, the trivial sphynx j and to our feast 
 Daisy and Barb and Chancellor (she not least !) 
 With all their silken, all their airy kin, 
 Do like unbidden angels enter in. 
 But he, attended by these shining names, 
 Comes (best of all) himself — our welcome James.

 THE MIRROR SPEAKS 
 
 Where the bells peal far at sea 
 
 Cunning fingers fashioned me. 
 
 There on palace walls I hung 
 
 While that Consuelo sung ; 
 
 But I heard, though I listened well, 
 
 Never a note, never a trill, 
 
 Never a beat of the chiming bell. 
 
 There I hung and looked, and there 
 
 In my gray face, faces fair 
 
 Shone from under shining hair. 
 
 Well I saw the poising head, 
 
 But the lips moved and nothing said ; 
 
4Q UNDERWOODS 
 
 And when lights were in the hall, 
 Silent moved the dancers all. 
 
 So awhile I glowed, and then 
 Fell on dusty days and men j 
 Long I slumbered packed in straw, 
 Long I none but dealers saw ; 
 Till before my silent eye 
 One that sees came passing by. 
 
 Now with an outlandish grace, 
 To the sparkling fire I face 
 In the blue room at Skerryvore ; 
 Where I wait until the door 
 Open, and the Prince of Men, 
 Henry James, shall come again.

 KATHARINE 
 
 We see you as we see a face 
 That trembles in a forest place 
 Upon the mirror of a pool 
 Forever quiet, clear and cool \ 
 And in the wayward glass, appears 
 To hover between smiles and tears, 
 Elfin and human, airy and true, 
 And backed by the reflected blue.

 TO F. J. S. 
 
 I read, dear friend, in your dear face 
 Your life's tale told with perfect grace ; 
 The river of your life, I trace 
 Up the sun-chequered, devious bed 
 To the far-distant fountain-head. 
 
 Not one quick beat of your warm heart, 
 Nor thought that came to you apart, 
 Pleasure nor pity, love nor pain 
 Nor sorrow, has gone by in vain ; 
 
 But as some lone, wood-wandering child 
 Brings home with him at evening mild 
 The thorns and flowers of all the wild, 
 From your whole life, O fair and true 
 Your flowers and thorns you bring with you !

 REQUIEM 
 
 Under the wide and starry sky, 
 Dig the grave and let me lie. 
 Glad did I live and gladly die, 
 And I laid me down with a will. 
 
 This be the verse you grave for me : 
 Here he lies where he longed to be ; 
 Home is the sailor ; home from sea, 
 And the hunter home from the hill. 
 
XXII 
 
 THE CELESTIAL SURGEON 
 
 If I have faltered more or less 
 In my great task of happiness ; 
 If I have moved among my race 
 And shown no glorious morning face ; 
 If beams from happy human eyes 
 Have moved me not ; if morning skies, 
 Books, and my food, and summer rain 
 Knocked on my sullen heart in vain : — 
 Lord, thy most pointed pleasure take 
 And stab my spirit broad awake ; 
 Or, Lord, if too obdurate I, 
 Choose thou, before that spirit die, 
 A piercing pain, a killing sin, 
 And to my dead heart run them in ! 
 
XXIII 
 
 OUR LADY OF THE SNOWS 
 
 Out of the sun, out of the blast, 
 
 Out of the world, alone I passed 
 
 Across the moor and through the wood 
 
 To where the monastery stood. 
 
 There neither lute nor breathing fife, 
 
 Nor rumour of the world of life, 
 
 Nor confidences low and dear, 
 
 Shall strike the meditative ear. 
 
 Aloof, unhelpful, and unkind, 
 
 The prisoners of the iron mind, 
 
 Where nothing speaks except the hell * Uj*A 
 
 The unfraternal brothers dwell. 
 
46 UNDERWOODS 
 
 Poor passionate men, still clothed afresh 
 
 With agonising folds of flesh ; 
 
 Whom the clear eyes solicit still 
 
 To some bold output of the will, 
 
 While fairy Fancy far before 
 
 And musing Memory-Hold-the-door 
 
 Now to heroic death invite 
 
 And now uncurtain fresh delight : 
 
 O, little boots it thus to dwell 
 
 On the remote unneighboured hill ! 
 
 O to be up and doing, O 
 Unfearing and unshamed to go 
 In all the uproar and the press 
 About my human business ! 
 My undissuaded heart I hear 
 Whisper courage in my ear. 
 With voiceless calls, the ancient earth 
 Summons me to a daily birth. 
 
OUR LADY OF THE SNOWS 47 
 
 Thou, O my love, ye, O my friends — 
 The gist of life, the end of ends — * 
 To laugh, to love, to live, to die, 
 Ye call me by the ear and eye ! 
 
 Forth from the casemate, on the plain 
 Where honour has the world to gain, 
 Pour forth and bravely do your part, 
 O knights of the unshielded heart ! 
 Forth and forever forward ! — out 
 From prudent turret and redoubt, 
 And in the mellay charge amain, 
 To fall but yet to rise again ! 
 Captive ? ah, still, to honour bright, 
 A captive soldier of the right ! 
 Or free and fighting, good with ill ? 
 Unconquering but unconquered still ! 
 
 And ye, O brethren, what if God, 
 When from Heav'n's top he spies abroad, 
 
48 UNDERWOODS 
 
 And sees on this tormented stage 
 The noble war of mankind rage : 
 What if his vivifying eye, 
 O monks, should pass your corner by ? 
 For still the Lord is Lord of might ; 
 In deeds, in deeds, he takes delight ; 
 The plough, the spear, the laden barks, 
 The field, the founded city, marks ; 
 He marks the smiler of the streets, 
 The singer upon garden seats ; 
 He sees the climber in the rocks : 
 To him, the shepherd folds his flocks. 
 For those he loves that underprop 
 With daily virtues Heaven's top, 
 And bear the falling sky with ease, 
 Unfrowning caryatides. 
 Those he approves that ply the trade, 
 That rock the child, that wed the maid, 
 That with weak virtues, weaker hands, 
 
OUR LADY OF THE SNOWS 49 
 
 Sow gladness on the peopled lands, 
 And still with laughter, song and shout, 
 Spin the great wheel of earth about. 
 
 But ye? — O ye who linger still 
 Here in your fortress on the hill, 
 With placid face, with tranquil breath, 
 The unsought volunteers of death, 
 Our cheerful General on high 
 With careless looks may pass you by. 
 
XXIV 
 
 Not yet, my soul, these friendly fields desert, 
 Where thou with grass, and rivers, and the breeze, 
 And the bright face of day, thy dalliance hadst ; 
 Where to thine ear first sang the enraptured birds ; 
 Where love and thou that lasting bargain made. 
 The ship rides trimmed, and from the eternal shore 
 Thou hearest airy voices ; but not yet 
 Depart, my soul, not yet awhile depart. 
 
 Freedom is far, rest far. Thou art with life 
 Too closely woven, nerve with nerve intwined ; 
 Service still craving service, love for love, 
 Love for dear love, still suppliant with tears. 
 
NOT YET, MY SOUL 51 
 
 Alas, not yet thy human task is done ! 
 
 A bond at birth is forged ; a debt doth lie 
 
 Immortal on mortality. It grows — 
 
 By vast rebound it grows, unceasing growth ; 
 
 Gift upon gift, alms upon alms, upreared, 
 
 From man, from God, from nature, till the soul 
 
 At that so huge indulgence stands amazed. 
 
 Leave not, my soul, the unfoughten field, nor leave 
 Thy debts dishonoured, nor thy place desert 
 Without due service rendered. For thy life, 
 Up, spirit, and defend that fort of clay, 
 Thy body, now beleaguered j whether soon 
 Or late she fall ; whether to-day thy friends 
 Bewail thee dead, or, after years, a man 
 Grown old in honour and the friend of peace. 
 Contend, my soul, for moments and for hours ; 
 Each is with service pregnant ; each reclaimed 
 Is as a kingdom conquered, where to reign. 
 
UNDERWOODS 
 
 As when a captain rallies to the fight 
 
 His scattered legions, and beats ruin back, 
 
 He, on the field, encamps, well pleased in mind. 
 
 Yet surely him shall fortune overtake, 
 
 Him smite in turn, headlong his ensigns drive ; 
 
 And that dear land, now safe, to-morrow fall. 
 
 But he, unthinking, in the present good 
 
 Solely delights, and all the camps rejoice. 
 
XXV 
 
 It is not yours, O mother, to complain, 
 
 Not, mother, yours to weep, 
 
 Though nevermore your son again 
 
 Shall to your bosom creep, 
 
 Though nevermore again you watch your baby sleep. 
 
 Though in the greener paths of earth, 
 
 Mother and child, no more 
 
 We wander j and no more the birth 
 
 Of me whom once you bore, 
 
 Seems still the brave reward that once it seemed of yore ; 
 
 Though as all passes, day and night, 
 The seasons and the years, 
 From you, O mother, this delight, 
 
54 UNDERWOODS 
 
 This also disappears — 
 
 Some profit yet survives of all your pangs and tears. 
 
 The child, the seed, the grain of corn, 
 
 The acorn on the hill, 
 
 Each for some separate end is born 
 
 In season fit, and still 
 
 Each must in strength arise to work the almighty will. 
 
 So from the hearth the children flee, 
 
 By that almighty hand 
 
 Austerely led j so one by sea 
 
 Goes forth, and one by land ; 
 
 Nor aught of all man's sons escapes from that command. 
 
 So from the sally each obeys 
 
 The unseen almighty nod j 
 
 So till the ending all their ways 
 
 Blindfolded loth have trod : 
 
 Nor knew their task at all, but were the tools of God. 
 
IT IS NOT YOURS 55 
 
 And as the fervent smith of yore 
 
 Beat out the glowing blade, 
 
 Nor wielded in the front of war 
 
 The weapons that he made, 
 
 But in the tower at home still plied his ringing trade ; 
 
 So like a sword the son shall roam 
 
 On nobler missions sent ; 
 
 And as the smith remained at home 
 
 In peaceful turret pent, 
 
 So sits the while at home the mother well content.

 THE SICK CHILD 
 
 Child. O mother, lay your hand on my brow ! 
 O mother, mother, where am I now ? 
 Why is the room so gaunt and great ? 
 Why am I lying awake so late ? 
 
 Mother. Fear not at all : the night is still. 
 
 Nothing is here that means you ill — 
 Nothing but lamps the whole town through, 
 And never a child awake but you. 
 
 Child. Mother, mother, speak low in my ear, 
 
 Some of the things are so great and near, 
 
THE SICK CHILD 57 
 
 Some are so small and far away, 
 I have a fear that I cannot say. 
 What have I done, and what do I fear, 
 And why are you crying, mother dear? 
 
 Mother. Out in the city, sounds begin 
 
 Thank the kind God, the carts come in ! 
 An hour or two more, and God is so kind, 
 The day shall be blue in the window-blind, 
 Then shall my child go sweetly asleep, 
 And dream of the birds and the hills of sheep.

 IN MEMORIAM F. A. S. 
 
 Yet, O stricken heart, remember, O remember 
 How of human days he lived the better part. 
 
 April came to bloom and never dim December 
 Breathed its killing chills upon the head or heart. 
 
 Doomed to know not Winter, only Spring, a being 
 Trod the flowery April blithely for a while, 
 
 Took his fill of music, joy of thought and seeing, 
 
 Came and stayed and went, nor ever ceased to smile. 
 
 Came and stayed and went, and now when all is finished, 
 You alone have crossed the melancholy stream, 
 
 Yours the pang, but his, O his, the undiminished 
 Undecaying gladness, undeparted dream. 
 
IN MEMORIAM F. A. S. 59 
 
 All that life, contains of torture, toil, and treason, 
 Shame, dishonour, death, to him were but a name. 
 
 Here, a boy, he dwelt through all the singing season 
 And ere the day of sorrow departed as he came.

 TO MY FATHER 
 
 Peace and her huge invasion to these shores 
 Puts daily home j innumerable sails 
 Dawn on the far horizon and draw near j 
 Innumerable loves, uncounted hopes 
 To our wild coasts, not darkling now, approach : 
 Not now obscure, since thou and thine are there, 
 And bright on the lone isle, the foundered reef, 
 The long, resounding foreland, Pharos stands. 
 
 These are thy works, O father, these thy crown j 
 Whether on high the air be pure, they shine 
 Along the yellowing sunset, and all night 
 Among the unnumbered stars of God they shine j 
 
TO MY FATHER 61 
 
 Or whether fogs arise and far and wide 
 The low sea-level drown — each finds a tongue 
 And all night long the tolling bell resounds : 
 So shine, so toll, till night be overpast, 
 Till the stars vanish, till the sun return, 
 And in the haven rides the fleet secure. 
 
 In the first hour, the seaman in his skiff 
 
 Moves through the unmoving bay, to where the town 
 
 Its earliest smoke into the air upbreathes 
 
 xAnd the rough hazels climb along the beach. 
 
 To the tugg'd oar the distant echo speaks. 
 
 The ship lies resting, where by reef and roost 
 
 Thou and thy lights have led her like a child. 
 
 This hast thou done, and I — can I be base ? 
 
 I must arise, O father, and to port 
 
 Some lost, complaining seaman pilot home.

 With half a heart I wander here 
 
 As from an age gone by 
 A brother — yet though young in years, 
 
 An elder brother, I. 
 
 You speak another tongue than mine, 
 Though both were English born. 
 
 I towards the night of time decline, 
 You mount into the morn. 
 
 Youth shall grow great and strong and free, 
 
 But age must still decay : 
 To-morrow for the States — for me, 
 
 England and Yesterday.

 Unfriendly to the nose and eyes j 
 
 A blue-behinded ape, I skip 
 Upon the trees of Paradise. 
 
 At mankind's feast, I take my place 
 In solemn, sanctimonious state, 
 
 And have the air of saying grace 
 While I defile the dinner plate. 
 
 I am "the smiler with the knife," 
 The battener upon garbage, I — 
 
64 UNDERWOODS 
 
 Dear Heaven, with such a rancid life, 
 Were it not better far to die ? 
 
 Yet still, about the human pale, 
 I love to scamper, love to race, 
 
 To swing by my irreverent tail 
 All over the most holy place j 
 
 And when at length, some golden day, 
 The unfailing sportsman, aiming at, 
 
 Shall bag, me — all the world shall say : 
 Thank God, and therms an end of that /

 Sing clearlier, Muse, or evermore be still, 
 Sing truer or no longer sing !

 From the green elm a living linnet takes, 
 One natural verse recapture — then be still.

 And O, how deep the corn 
 
 Along the battlefield !

 SKERRYVORE 
 
 For love of lovely words, and for the sake 
 Of those, my kinsmen and my countrymen, 
 Who early and late in the windy ocean toiled 
 To plant a star for seamen, where was then 
 The surfy haunt of seals and cormorants : 
 I, on the lintel of this cot, inscribe 
 The name of a strong tower. 
 
XXXV , 
 
 SKERRYVORE : The Parallel 
 
 Here all is sunny, and when the truant gull 
 
 Skims the green level of the lawn, his wing 
 
 Dispetals roses ; here the house is framed 
 
 Of kneaded brick and the plumed mountain pine, 
 
 Such clay as artists fashion and such wood 
 
 As the tree-climbing urchin breaks. But there 
 
 Eternal granite hewn from the living isle 
 
 And dowelled with brute iron, rears a tower 
 
 That from its wet foundation to its crown 
 
 Of glittering glass, stands, in the sweep of winds, 
 
 Immovable, immortal, eminent. 
 
XXXVI 
 
 My house, I say. But hark to the sunny doves 
 That make my roof the arena of their loves, 
 That gyre about the gable all day long 
 And fill the chimneys with their murmurous song 
 Our house, they say j and mine, the cat declares 
 And spreads his golden fleece upon the chairs ; 
 And mine the dog, and rises stiff with wrath 
 If any alien foot profane the path. 
 So too the buck that trimmed my terraces, 
 Our whilome gardener, called the garden his ; 
 Who now, deposed, surveys my plain abode 
 And his late kingdom, only from the road. 
 
XXXVII 
 
 My body which my dungeon is, 
 And yet my parks and palaces : — 
 
 Which is so great that there I go 
 All the day long to and fro, 
 And when the night begins to fall 
 Throw down my bed and sleep, while all 
 The building hums with wakefulness — 
 Even as a child of savages 
 When evening takes her on her way, 
 (She having roamed a summer's day 
 Along the mountain-sides and scalp) 
 Sleeps in an antre of that alp : — 
 
 Which is so broad and high that there, 
 As in the topless fields of air, 
 My fancy soars like to a kite 
 
72 UNDERWOODS 
 
 And faints in the blue infinite : — 
 
 Which is so strong, my strongest throes 
 And the rough world's besieging blows 
 Not break it, and so weak withal, 
 Death ebbs and flows in its loose wall 
 As the green sea in fishers' nets, 
 And tops its topmost parapets : — 
 Which is so wholly mine that I 
 Can wield its whole artillery, 
 And mine so little, that my soul 
 Dwells in perpetual control, 
 And I but think and speak and do 
 As my dead fathers move me to : — 
 
 If this born body of my bones 
 The beggared soul so barely owns, 
 What money passed from hand to hand, 
 What creeping custom of the land, 
 What deed of author or assign, 
 Can make a house a thing of mine ? 
 
XXXVIII 
 
 Say not of me that weakly I declined 
 The labours of my sires, and fled the sea, 
 The towers we founded and the lamps we lit, 
 To play at home with paper like a child. 
 But rather say : In the afternoon of time 
 A strenuous family dusted from its hands 
 The sand of granite \ and beholding far 
 Along the sounding coast its pyramids 
 And tall memorials catch the dying sun, 
 Smiled well content, and to this childish task 
 Around the fire addressed its evening hours.

 Noo to the hoastin' rookery swells,

 Noo shoos the bairnies but a bit ; 
 Noo cries them ben, their Sinday shiiit

 The lasses, clean frae tap to taes, 
 Are busked in crunklin' underclaes ; 
 The gartened hose, the weel-filled stays,

 An' southernwood. 
 
 For noo's the time whan pows are seen 
 Nid-noddin' like a mandareen j

 No muckle better than mere Turks,

 Bethankit ! what a bonny creed !

 Note. — It may be guessed by some that I had a certain parish in my 
 eye, and this makes it proper I should add a word of disclamation. In 
 my time there have been two ministers in that parish. Of the first I have 
 a special reason to speak well, even had there been any to think ill.   The 
 second I have often met in private and long (in the due phrase) "sat 
 under" in his church, and neither here nor there have I heard an 
 unkind or ugly word upon his lips. The preacher of the text had thus no 
 original in that particular parish ; but when I was a boy, he might have 
 been observed in many others ; he was then (like the schoolmaster) abroad ; 
 and by recent advices, it would seem he has not yet entirely disappeared.

 Wi' a gentleman like me.

 They ither folk, for richt or wrang, 
 
 They suffer, bleed, or dee ; 
 But a' thir things are an emp'y sang 
 
 To a gentleman like me. 
 
 It's a different thing that I demand, 
 
 Tho' humble as can be — 
 A statement fair in my Maker's hand 
 
 To a gentleman like me : 
 
 A clear account writ fair an' broad, 
 
 An' a plain apologie ; 
 Or the deevil a ceevil word to God 
 
 From a gentleman like me.

XII 
 THE SCOTSMAN'S RETURN FROM ABROAD 
 
 In a letter from Mr. Thomson to Mr. Johnstone. 
 
 In mony a foreign pairt I've been, 
 
 An' mony an unco ferlie seen, 
 
 Since, Mr. Johnstone, you and I 
 
 Last walkit upon Cocklerye. 
 
 Wi' gleg, observant een, I pass't 
 
 By sea an' land, through East an' Wast, 
 
 And still in ilka age an' station 
 
 Saw naething but abomination. 
 
 In thir uncovenantit lands 
 
 The gangrel Scot uplifts his hands 
 
THE SCOTSMAN'S RETURN FROM ABROAD 119 
 
 At lack of a' sectarian fiish'n, 
 An' cauld religious destitution. 
 He rins, puir man, frae place to place, 
 Tries a' their graceless means o' grace, 
 Preacher on preacher, kirk on kirk — 
 This yin a stot an' thon a stirk — 
 A bletherin' clan, no warth a preen, 
 As bad as Smith of Aiberdeen ! 
 
 At last, across the weary faem, 
 Frae far, outlandish pairts I came. 
 On ilka side o' me I fand 
 Fresh tokens o' my native land. 
 Wi' whatna joy I hailed them a' — 
 The hilltaps standin' raw by raw, 
 The public house, the Hielan' birks, 
 And a' the bonny U.P. kirks ! 
 But maistly thee, the bluid o' Scots, 
 Frae Maidenkirk to John o' Grots, 
 
UNDERWOODS 
 
 The king o' drinks, as I conceive it, 
 Talisker, Isla, or Glenlivet ! 
 
 For after years wi' a pockmantie 
 
 Frae Zanzibar to Alicante, 
 
 In mony a fash and sair affliction 
 
 I gie't as my sincere conviction — 
 
 Of a' their foreign tricks an' pliskies, 
 
 I maist abominate their whiskies. 
 
 Nae doot, themsels, they ken it weel, 
 
 An' wi' a hash o' leemon peel, 
 
 And ice an' siccan filth, they ettle 
 
 The stawsome kind o' goo to settle ; 
 
 Sic wersh apothecary's broos wi' 
 
 As Scotsmen scorn to fyle their moo's wi'. 
 
 An', man, I was a blithe hame-comer 
 Whan first I syndit out my rummer. 
 Ye should hae seen me then, wi' care 
 The less important pairts prepare ; 
 
THE SCOTSMAN'S RETURN FROM ABROAD 121 
 
 Syne, weel contentit wi' it a', 
 Pour in the speerits wi' a jaw ! 
 I didnae drink, I didnae speak, — 
 I only snowkit up the reek. 
 I was sae pleased therein to paidle, 
 I sat an' plowtered wi' my ladle. 
 
 An' blithe was I, the morrow's morn, 
 To daunder through the stookit corn, 
 And after a' my strange mishanters, 
 Sit doun amang my ain dissenters. 
 An', man, it was a joy to me 
 The pu'pit an' the pews to see, 
 The pennies dirlin' in the plate, 
 The elders lookin' on in state ; 
 An' 'mang the first, as it befell, 
 Wha should I see, sir, but yoursel' ! 
 
 I was, and I will no deny it, 
 At the first gliff a hantle tryit 
 
122 UNDERWOODS 
 
 To see yoursel' in sic a station — 
 
 It seemed a doubtfii' dispensation. 
 
 The feelin' was a mere digression ; 
 
 For shiine I understood the session, 
 
 An' mindin' Aiken an' JVTNeil, 
 
 I wondered they had dune sae weel. 
 
 I saw I had mysel' to blame ; 
 
 For had I but remained at hame, 
 
 Aiblins — though no ava' deservin' 't — 
 
 They micht hae named your humble servant. 
 
 The kirk was filled, the door was steeked ; 
 Up to the pu'pit ance I keeked ; 
 I was mair pleased than I can tell — 
 It was the minister himsel' ! 
 Proud, proud was I to see his face, 
 After sae lang awa' frae grace. 
 Pleased as I was, I'm no denyin' 
 Some maitters were not edifyin' ; 
 
THE SCOTSMAN'S RETURN FROM ABROAD 123 
 
 For first I fand — an' here was news ! — 
 Mere hymn-books cockin' in the pews — 
 A humanised abomination, 
 Unfit for ony congregation. 
 Syne, while I still was on the tenter, 
 I scunnered at the new prezentor j 
 I thocht him gesterin' an' cauld — 
 A sair declension frae the auld. 
 Syne, as though a' the faith was wreckit, 
 The prayer was not what I'd exspeckit. 
 Himsel', as it appeared to me, 
 Was no the man he iised to be. 
 But just as I was growin' vext 
 He waled a maist judeecious text, 
 An', launchin' into his prelections, 
 Swoopt, wi' a skirl, on a' defections. 
 
 O what a gale was on my speerit 
 To hear the p'ints o' doctrine clearit, 
 
124 UNDERWOODS 
 
 And a' the horrors o' damnation 
 Set furth wi' faithfu' ministration ! 
 Nae shauchlin' testimony here — 
 We were a' damned, an' that was clear. 
 I owned, wi' gratitude an' wonder, 
 He was a pleisure to sit under. 
 
XIII 
 
 Late in the nicht in bed I lay, 
 The winds were at their weary play, 
 An' tirlin' wa's an' skirlin' wae 
 
 Through Heev'n they battered ;- 
 On-ding o' hail, on-blaff o' spray, 
 
 The tempest blattered. 
 
 The masoned house it dinled through j 
 It dung the ship, it cowped the coo' ; 
 The rankit aiks it overthrew, 
 
 Had braved a' weathers ; 
 The Strang sea-gleds it took an' blew 
 
 Awa' like feathers. 
 
126 UNDERWOODS 
 
 The thrawes o' fear on a' were shed, 
 An' the hair rose, an' slumber fled, 
 An' lichts were lit an' prayers were said 
 
 Through a' the kintry j 
 An' the cauld terror clum in bed 
 
 Wi' a' an' sindry. 
 
 To hear in the pit-mirk on hie 
 The brangled collieshangie flie, 
 The warl', they thocht, wi' land an' sea, 
 
 Itsel' wad cowpit ; 
 An' for auld aim, the smashed debris 
 
 By God be rowpit. 
 
 Meanwhile frae far Aldeboran, 
 To folks wi' talescopes in han', 
 O' ships that cowpit, winds that ran, 
 
 Nae sign was seen, 
 But the wee warl' in sunshine span 
 
 As bricht's a preen. 
 
LATE IN THE NICHT 127 
 
 I, tae, by God's especial grace, 
 Dwall denty in a bieldy place, 
 Wi' hosened feet, wi' shaven face, 
 
 Wi' dacent mainners : 
 A grand example to the race 
 
 O' tautit sinners ! 
 
 The wind may blaw, the heathen rage, 
 The deil may start on the rampage ; — 
 The sick in bed, the thief in cage — 
 
 What's a' to me ? 
 Cosh in my house, a sober sage, 
 
 I sit an' see. 
 
 An' whiles the bluid spangs to my bree, 
 To lie sae saft, to live sae free, 
 While better men maun do an' die 
 
 In unco places. 
 " Whaurs God ? " I cry, an' " Whae is me 
 
 To hae sic graces ? " 
 
128 UNDERWOODS 
 
 I mind the fecht the sailors keep, 
 But fire or can'le, rest or sleep, 
 In darkness an' the muckle deep ; 
 
 An' mind beside 
 The herd that on the hills o' sheep 
 
 Has wandered wide. 
 
 I mind me on the hoastin' weans — 
 The penny joes on causey stanes — 
 The auld folk wi' the crazy banes, 
 
 Baith auld an' puir, 
 That aye maun thole the winds an' rains, 
 
 An' labour sair. 
 
 An' whiles I'm kind o' pleased a blink, 
 An' kind o' fleyed forby, to think, 
 For a' my rowth o' meat an' drink 
 
 An' waste o' crumb, 
 I'll mebbe have to thole wi' skink 
 
 In Kingdom Come. 
 
LATE IN THE NICHT 129 
 
 For God whan jowes the Judgment bell, 
 Wi' His ain Hand, His Leevin' Sel', 
 Sail ryve the guid (as Prophets tell) 
 
 Frae them that had it j 
 And in the reamin' pat o' Hell, 
 
 The rich be scaddit. 
 
 O Lord, if this indeed be sae, 
 Let daw that sair an' happy day ! 
 Again' the warl', grawn auld an' gray, 
 
 Up wi' your aixe ! 
 An' let the puir enjoy their play — 
 
 I'll thole my paiks.

 MY CONSCIENCE! 
 
 Of a' the ills that flesh can fear, 
 The loss o' frien's, the lack o' gear, 
 A yowlin' tyke, a glandered mear, 
 
 A lassie's nonsense — 
 There's just ae thing I cannae bear, 
 
 An' that's my conscience. 
 
 Whan day (an' a' excuse) has gane, 
 An' wark is dime, and duty's plain, 
 An 5 to my chalmer a' my lane 
 
 I creep apairt, 
 My conscience ! hoo the yammerin' pain 
 
 Stends to my heart ! 
 
MY CONSCIENCE ! 131 
 
 A' day wi' various ends in view 
 The hairsts o' time I had to pu', 
 An' made a hash wad staw a soo, 
 
 Let be a man ! — 
 My conscience ! whan my han's were fu', 
 
 Whaur were ye than ? 
 
 An' there were a' the lures o' life, 
 There pleesure skirlin' on the fife, 
 There anger, wi' the hotchin' knife 
 
 Ground shairp in Hell — 
 My conscience ! — you that's like a wife ! — 
 
 Whaur was yoursel' ? 
 
 I ken it fine : just waitin' here, 
 
 To gar the evil waur appear, 
 
 To clart the guid, confuse the clear, 
 
 Mis-ca' the great, 
 My conscience ! an' to raise a steer 
 
 Whan a's ower late. 
 
132 UNDERWOODS 
 
 Sic-like, some tyke grawn auld and blind, 
 Whan thieves brok' through the gear to p'ind, 
 Has lain his dozened length an' grinned 
 
 At the disaster ; 
 An' the morn's mornin', wud's the wind, 
 
 Yokes on his master.

 TO DOCTOR JOHN BROWN 
 
 ( Whan the dear doctor, dear to a! , 
 Was still amang us here belaw, 
 I set my pipes his praise to blaw 
 
 Wi' a' my speerit ; 
 But noo, Dear Doctor/ he's awa, 
 
 An ne'er can hear it. ) 
 
 By Lyne and Tyne, by Thames and Tees, 
 
 By a' the various river-Dee's, 
 
 In Mars and Manors 'yont the seas 
 
 Or here at hame, 
 Whaure'er there's kindly folk to please, 
 
 They ken your name. 
 
134 UNDERWOODS 
 
 They ken your name, they ken your tyke, 
 They ken the honey from your byke ; 
 But mebbe after a' your fyke, 
 
 (The truth to tell) 
 It's just your honest Rab they like, 
 
 An' no yourseP. 
 
 As at the gowff, some canny play'r 
 Should tee a common ba' wi' care — 
 Should flourish and deleever fair 
 
 His souple shintie — 
 An' the ba' rise into the air, 
 
 A leevin' lintie : 
 
 Sae in the game we writers play, 
 There comes to some a bonny day, 
 When a dear ferlie shall repay 
 
 Their years o' strife, 
 An' like your Rab, their things o' clay, 
 
 Spreid wings o' life. 
 
TO DOCTOR JOHN BROWN 135 
 
 Ye scarce deserved it, I'm afraid — 
 You that had never learned the trade, 
 But just some idle mornin' strayed 
 
 Into the schiile, 
 An' picked the fiddle up an' played 
 
 Like Neil himsel'. 
 
 Your e'e was gleg, your fingers dink ; 
 Ye didnae fash yoursel' to think, 
 But wove, as fast as puss can link, 
 
 Your denty wab : — 
 Ye stapped your pen into the ink, 
 
 An' there was Rab ! 
 
 Sinsyne, whaure'er your fortune lay 
 By dowie den, by canty brae, 
 Simmer an' winter, nicht an' day, 
 
 Rab was aye wi' ye ; 
 An' a' the folk on a' the way 
 
 Were blithe to see ye. 
 
136 UNDERWOODS 
 
 O sir, the gods are kind indeed, 
 An' hauld ye for an honoured heid, 
 That for a wee bit clarkit screed 
 
 Sae weel reward ye, 
 An' lend — puir Rabbie bein' deid — 
 
 His ghaist to guard ye. 
 
 For though, whaure'er yoursel' may be, 
 We've just to turn an' glisk a wee, 
 An' Rab at heel we're shiire to see 
 
 Wi' gladsome caper : — 
 The bogle of a bogle, he — 
 
 A ghaist o' paper ! 
 
 And as the auld-farrand hero sees 
 
 In Hell a bogle Hercules, 
 
 Pit there the lesser deid to please, 
 
 While he himsel' 
 Dwalls wi' the muckle gods at ease 
 
 Far raised frae hell : 
 
TO DOCTOR JOHN BROWN 137 
 
 Sae the true Rabbie far has gane 
 
 On kindlier business o' his ain 
 
 Wi' aulder frien's ; an' his breist-bane 
 
 An' stumpie tailie, 
 He birstles at a new hearth stane 
 
 By James and Ailie. 
 
XVI 
 
 It's an owercome sooth for age an' youth 
 
 And it brooks wi' nae denial, 
 That the dearest friends are the auldest friends 
 
 And the young are just on trial. 
 
 There's a rival bauld wi' young an' auld 
 
 And it's him that has bereft me ; 
 For the surest friends are the auldest friends 
 
 And the maist o' mines hae left me. 
 
 There are kind hearts still, for friends to fill 
 And fools to take and break them ; 
 
 But the nearest friends are the auldest friends 
 And the grave's the place to seek them.
