THE POEMS

SENSE OF NATURE

NOON1

Noon! deep, languid light, that quivers in the sky

And fires the gorse-clad hills to throbbing gold.

One pale distant spire. A seagull’s cry

That wakes dim echoes – but to sleep once more.

A valley steals down to the rock-strewn shore

And dreams in cool content of things long told;

This is a place of dreams, of drowsy fields

Of moon-filled haunts, and level yellow sands

Of little worn, grey houses by the road

Where dwell those who with strong, enduring hands

Untied the knot of life; whose patience yields

To death alone; who walking ’neath a load

Of sacrifice and silent thought for years

Have found sweet peace for all their bitter tears

By shadowy waysides and bowed, aged hills

Who know the secret, tender night fulfills

The promise of the glowing, fragrant noon.
