The sight filled all our high-strung hearts with wonder And spurred them to a dauntless, deathless deed. RAI SANYOH Though out at elbow With half-bared legs, Shabbily clad, The sword we bear on our loins Is sharp enough to cut iron. If a man touches it Lo ! he falls ; If a horse approaches It pierces him through : At the age of eighteen we hurry To join " The League of Youth." Should the Northern Guest Dare to invade us, What shall we offer him ? Why, fire and bolt Are the gifts we'll bestow : ...Should he be displeased With our entertainment, Then we will give him Our dearest treasure .... Our precious swords, Slashing his skull. Reprinted from " Poetry Review " by kind permission of the Editor. 87 TO SERBIA Oh, thou of vaulting ambition ! Thy subtle and strong will Bends itself to humility In search of grandeur. As a translucent mountain -stream, Sprung from the distant glacier, Winds its ways through cumbering weeds And toils through lonely valleys, Gathering force as it goes, Until at length, a glorious flood, It joins, as an equal, the mighty ocean.
