Not without dints, and all in front, I trust. Shivering sometimes it calls me as it hears Afar the charger's tramp and clash of spears ; But 't is such murmur only as might be The sea-shell's lost tradition of the sea, That makes me muse and wonder Where ? and When ? While from my cliff 1 watch the waves of men That climb to break midway their seeming gain, And think it triumph if they shake their chain. Little I ask of Fate ; will she refuse Some days of reconcilement with the Muse? 65 M F M O... R I A L S O F I take my rood again and blow it tree Of dusty silence, murmuring, "Sing to me!" And, as its stops my curious touch retries, The stir of earlier instincts I surprise, — Instincts, if less imperious, yet more strong. And happy in the toil that ends with song. Home am 1 come: not, as 1 hoped might be. To the old haunts, too full oi ghosts for me. But to the olden dreams that time endears, And the loved books that younger grow with years ; To country rambles, timing with my tread Some happier verse that carols in my head, Yet all with sense of something vainly mist, Oi something lost, but when I never wist.
