CANTABRIGIAE

MORTUISQUE CARISSIMIS

BEFORE

THE GENTLE COUNTY

FROM north and south the counties

With hills and splendour call,

But Cambridgeshire of fenlands

Is gentlest of them all.

Sweetness of cool gray beanfields;

May in the snow-white hedge,

And amber flame of sunsets

Against the land’s stark edge.

Open and green and golden

It spreads before the eyes,

With roads that call to follow,

White under quiet skies;

And under dreaming willows

The river winds and gleams,

Nor speaks above a whisper

For fear to break their dreams....

It winds about the township

Of gracious walls and towers,

Within whose shade is healing,

Whose years are young as hours—

Oh, here’s the Gentle County,

The land of hearts’ release,

In Cambridgeshire of fenlands,

Upon whose fields be peace....

ON THE LOWER RIVER

OH, when the very last is played

Of games that we have lost and won,

And out of reach of wind and sun

You are a shade; and I a shade,

We’ll not be sociable, nor mix

With all those far heroic souls,

But slip away to where there rolls

The quiet current of the Styx.

Charon will stand aside for us

(Fingering a coin, all amaze),

And you, whom every dog obeys,

Will swiftly deal with Cerberus,

Who, rearing an abysmal throat

In bull-dog smile serene and bland,

With all three tongues will lick your hand

And curl round meekly in the boat.

So, moving smoothly from the side,

You with the oars and I the lines,

Over the tide where no sun shines

That immemorial barque shall glide,

Sheer through the weeds and sedges dank,

Disturbing ghostly rats at play,

And veering, in a well-known way

From one bank to the other bank....

And when the backwater we pass

Where Lethe flows but makes no sound,

We will shoot on, nor turn us round

At those faint voices from the grass;

“Turn. Here is room for millions yet,

And here the cure for every ill....”

Be still, most piteous shades, be still.

We would remember, not forget.

And when indignant ghosts who wait

For Charon’s boat across the stream,

Shatter with shouts his pipe-filled dream,

Demanding why the —— he’s late—

He’ll call across the waters black,

“Sorry, sir! They was lookin’ so

Happy, I had to let them go—

And Heaven knows when they’ll be back!...”

ET EGO IN ARCADIA VIXI

AUTUMN is on the fields and still November,

Here with a wide-winged flame and flooding of gold,

Here where the moist ploughed slopes rise fold on fold,

Down where the cherry-copse heart is a crimson ember,

Up where the blood red tide of the woods is rolled,

—And oh, dear God! I remember—how I remember

Autumn upon your fields in a time grown old....

—Shivering poplar trees on the long horizon,

Wastes of the dim deep fen, and the water’s gleam,

Rime all white on the furrow and toiling team,

Scarcely a streak of colour to rest the eyes on—

And here, where the beechwoods blaze and the red fires stream,

The call of your far, dank fields that the dead mist lies on,

Tugs at my heart for ever, and shatters my dream....

AFTER

MAY TERM, 1916

I HAVE come back in a rich hour of May

My heart, to this gray town of yours and mine,

To the grave gardens by the river’s line

Where scents rise softly at the end of day

—Back from hot city pavements worlds away,

Where life flows outwards in a ceaseless line,

Where soul treads hard on soul and makes no sign.

—To the dear smell of lawns, and the branches sway.

Gold of the sky, black boughs, and the rooks call

The evening stillness rises like a tide—

Across the cobbled court I hush my tread;

There is your window, lamplight on your wall,

There is a shadow on the blind inside—

But you are dead, my dear, but you are dead.

WALNUT-TREE COURT

THE court below drowns in an emerald deep

Of dusk, all murmurous

With things the river whispers in its sleep;

I, leaning outward thus

From this high window, over the silence, hear

Your voice, your laugh, and know

Down in the dusk, and infinitely near

You stand below....

CHESTNUT SUNDAY

FROM end to end of Cambridge town

The chestnut boughs move up and down,

And rain their petals on the grass

And on the busy folk who pass.

Their foaming sweetness drops in showers

Under a sky like gentian flowers;

White as a bride’s is their array,

The chestnuts keeping holiday!

Oh, in your dreamless sleep, my dear,

I know, I know you see me here,

Between the voices and the sun,

And petals pattering, one by one.

I never feel you watch me weep,

Nor din of battle breaks your sleep,

But I am sure you woke this hour

To see your chestnut trees in flower!

UNRETURNING

UNDER these walls and towers

By these green water-ways,

Oh the good days were ours,

The unforgotten days!

Too happy to be wise

When the road used to run

Under such maddening skies

Headlong to Huntingdon.

Paths where the lilac spills

Blossom too rich to bear;

Gold sheets of daffodils

Lighting the Market Square;

Shimmer of gliding prows

Where the green shade is cool,

Tea under orchard boughs,

Smoke-rings by Byron’s Pool.

Sunset at back of King’s

Behind the silver spire,

Talk of uncounted things

Over a college fire—

Red leaves above your door,

Gray walls and echoing street

Whose stones will never more

Ring to your passing feet;

Strange! to think Term is here,

Life leads the same old dance,

While you lie dead, my dear,

Somewhere in France....

THE DREAM

THROUGH the still streets whose windows were shut down

I wandered in a dumb and unknown town,

Where streets wound on and on, and had no name,

Where unseen fingers brushed my sleeve, and came

To a walled place of trees, and a voice said,

“Seek here, seek here, and you shall find your dead!”

And stooping down beneath the boughs asway

I found your name, and knew that there you lay.

And the blue twilight fell, and the cold dew,

While I lay in the grass and spoke to you....

So, when I rose, “Now God be thanked,” said I,

“Who set my feet to find you, where you lie.

My own, my own, I shall not dream again

You lie uncoffined in the pitiless rain....”

And woke; and knew I dreamed; and turned, to see

There, on my pillow, the old agony....

OLD ROADS

I HAVE been glad in such unlikely places

That now I walk in the same ways alone

The very stones are thronged by vanished faces

And echoes of dead laughter’s undertone.

Mellow stone courts, a bridge across a river,

A frosty road whose flints strike leaping fire—

The dead days stab me till I stand and shiver,

Because of rose-light over a gray spire.

And there’s a cliff-road with the white gulls wheeling,

Where ev’ry time, they catch me unaware;

And still the happy ghosts come stealing, stealing,

At just one corner of Trafalgar Square....

At city crossings and in heather spaces,

There’s not a pathway that my feet have known

But mocks me, with its throng of vanished faces

And echoes of dead laughter’s undertone.

NEW ROADS

OF all the winds that drive, be one to guide us

Into new roads, where we no more may be

Haunted of feet that used to walk beside us,

And now lie silently.

Through crowded streets go treading the feet that left us,

In spray-blown lanes they follow our steps like goads;

Oh unrestoring Powers that have bereft us,

Give us, at least, new roads!

DIED OF WOUNDS

BECAUSE you are dead, so many words they say,

If you could hear them, how they crowd, they crowd;

“Dying for England—but you must be proud”—

And “Greater love, honour, a debt to pay,”

And “Cry, dear,” someone says; and someone “Pray!”

What do they mean, their words that throng so loud?

This, dearest; that for us there will not be

Laughter and joy of living dwindling cold,

Ashes of words that dropped in flame, first told;

Stale tenderness, made foolish suddenly.

This only, heart’s desire, for you and me,

We who lived love, will not see love grow old.

We who had morning time and crest o’ the wave

Will have no twilight chill after the gleam,

Nor any ebb-tide with a sluggish stream;

No, nor clutch wisdom as a thing to save.

We keep for ever (and yet they call me brave)

Untouched, unbroken, unrebuilt, our dream.

INTERVAL; FRONT ROW STALLS

OVER the footlights the ankles caper,

The grease paint glistens, the fringed eyes glance;

The last note shrills, and the curtain runs.

The man beside me opens a paper:

“Bitter weather—three mile advance—

Heavy losses—we take the guns.”

And between my eyes and the crimson lights

Move the ranks of men who sat here o’ nights,

And now lie heaped in the mud together,

Stiff and still in the bitter weather.

YESTERDAY

THE winds are out to-night,

Strange winds, blown from a far-off troublous sea,

Rending the sky over the chimney pots,

Into a writhing web of jade and pearl—

And lashing my sedate black London trees

All into wonder and a breathless maze.

I wonder if you hear?

From your still bed under the Flanders soil,

I wonder if you know the winds are out?

For, if you do, I know across your sleep

There comes the dream that’s tugging at my heart

Alone here with the lamplight and the fire,

And the day dying over London roofs:

The thin white road

Leaping between the fenlands, where the sky

Swoops down to meet the fields, the flat brown fields,

With never a hill’s curve, only poplar boughs

Like spires out of the mist at the day’s edge.

And all the mad winds of the world full cry

Careering through the dusk into the town.

And down the narrow streets,

Under the gray towers and serene gray walls,

Under the yellowing elms along the Backs,

The winds went rollicking and dancing still;

Swaying the chain of lights down King’s Parade

And driving purple cloud-wrack down the sky

Running red flame behind the spires of King’s.

And so they came to us

Beating with wild wings in the court below,

Rocking the room, breaking the fire in gusts,

Filled with the spice of dead leaves and wet boughs,

Just as they come to me, alone, to-night.

... My dear, they say they will rebuild the world

Out of the soil where you and yours lie dead;

But not, I think, the free, the careless hours

That knew no shadow of purpose, but were glad,

When the glad winds raced under Cambridge walls.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
