High stands the jeweled Corona, Haloed at heaven's crest.
While Scorpio, ruby gleaming.
Wheels slowly to the west.
The dawn, the stars, the mountain, Each speaks the god- will true; And ever their soul of beauty Quickens my thought to you.
[65] WORK!
W ORK ! though no master bless thee With the gold of a great reward.
Work ! though the yoke oppress thee And thy true worth be ignored.
For in work lies thy life's salvation, And thy pain shall pass away In the joy of a god's creation, In the peace... of a workman's day.
[66 TOO BRIEF THE DAY {Upon the death of a child) L, ^IKE to a tear of purest dew Born to a petaled blossom, For one brief day, dear spirit, you Lay nestled on my bosom.
And, like that pearl, too fair to stay, Too frail for life's noon hour.
The great sun bore your soul away — And left this drooping flower.
[67I UNCROWNED DAYS 1 HELD love's jewel within my hand, Its pricelessness was absolute.
Then envious fate an ambush planned, And robbed and left me destitute.
Yet rich am I in poverty, My wooden cup a goblet gold, These beggar raiments that you see No servile beggar soul enfold.
