darkened hill。
Two memories； Two powers； two promises； two silences Closed in this
cry； closed in these thousand leaves Articulate。 This sudden hour retrieves
The purpose of the past； Separate； apartembraced； embraced at last。
〃Whose is the word？ Is it I that spake？ Is it thou？ Is it I that heard？〃
〃Thine earth was solitary； yet I found thee！〃 〃Thy sky was pathless； but I
caught； I bound thee； Thou visitant divine。〃 〃O thou my Voice； the word
was thine。〃 〃Was thine。〃

THE FLOWER OF THE MIND
A POET'S WIFE
I saw a tract of ocean locked in…land Within a field's embrace … The
very sea！ Afar it fled the strand And gave the seasons chase； And met the
night alone； the tempest spanned； Saw sunrise face to face。
O Poet； more than ocean； lonelier！ In inaccessible rest And storm
remote； thou； sea of thoughts； dost stir； Scattered through east to west； …
Now； while thou closest with the kiss of her Who locks thee to her breast。

THE FLOWER OF THE MIND
VENERATION OF IMAGES
Thou man； first…comer； whose wide arms entreat； Gather； clasp；
welcome； bind； Lack； or remember！ whose warm pulses beat With love of
thine own kind；
Unlifted for a blessing on yon sea； Unshrined on this high…way； O
flesh； O grief； thou too shalt have our knee； Thou rood of every day！

THE FLOWER OF THE MIND
AT NIGHT
Home； home from the horizon far and clear； Hither the soft wings
sweep； Flocks of the memories of the day draw near The dovecote doors
of sleep。
O which are they that come through sweetest light Of all these homing
birds？ Which with the straightest and the swiftest flight？ Your words to me；
your words！
