LAGGAED FAME After much toil and passion A poet learned to wear A
smile for life's poor fashion, A mask for biting care. He, faithful
to his art, sings, Mocking his sense of wrong, Pain's finger on his
heart-strings? Sweet music in his song. Now Fortune seeks a
meeting, She calls his name one morrow; She gets strange tears for
greeting; He'd laughed too long with sorrow. TO TWO FEIENDS In
Memory Of Hubert Montague Crackanthorpe. Old friends! old friends,
the name Rings doubly good Now, as we count the loss Of his fair
manlihood, Now, as we cry in bitterness and blame, Behold! his life
is gone? Lost with the flotsam and the dross? Inconsequently caught
in the ever-lengthening, wan Trooping of Death, who hunts in merry
and un- tiring mood The loved, the beautiful, the brave. O! could
not then the grave? The horrible, insatiate? Be this time
propitiate With lesser souls than his, whose soul had grown
Melodiously in concord with our own. Unto my friends who doubted,
wept, despaired, Disputed, argued, while there yet remained
Uncertainties, and hope with time was gained? Unto my friends: "If
he be gone, if he, indeed, has fared Beyond these bounds of complex
destiny, O, remember and be cheered? Those who were dear on earth
are more endeared, The thing that pained no longer pains. Down the
cold corridors, within the silent alcoves of the dead, The great
renunciations are as stored gains, The once poor negatives of life
shine newly, bright As jewels indiademed. Obliterate the dread
Compressed within that day of troubles, that horrific night."
Comrade of days?the years were yet to be? Dearest you were to my
sweet friends, Through them to me; And now, alas, so soon our
converse ends. 'Neath the umbrageous shadow of th...
