Zion

1914-18

The Doorkeepers of Zion,
They do not always stand
In helmet and whole armour,
With halberds in their hand;
But, being sure of Zion,
And all her mysteries,
They rest awhile in Zion,
Sit down and smile in Zion;
Ay, even jest in Zion;
In Zion, at their ease.

The Gatekeepers of Baal,
They dare not sit or lean,
But fume and fret and posture
And foam and curse between;
For being bound to Baal,
Whose sacrifice is vain,
Their rest is scant with Baal,
They glare and pant for Baal,
They mouth and rant for Baal,
For Baal in their pain!

But we will go to Zion,
By choice and not through dread,
With these our present comrades
And those our present dead;
And, being free of Zion
In both her fellowships,
Sit down and sup in Zion --
Stand up and drink in Zion
Whatever cup in Zion
Is offered to our lips!

"And Now, Loading the Camel's Hump"

And now, loading the camel's hump
With worldly troubles, heavy as a rock,
We leave -- the camel's humble and plump --
To finish the 'unfinishable' work:

In herds of camels -- to enjoy a pool,
In Hell of sands -- to see Blue Nile in thoughts,
As camel's lord and Lord installed a rule --
To bear his cross in Camel's way and God's.

And when the desert shifts to red from black
The humps will ache, and salesmen try to list
The kinds of ailments able to attack
This very kind and manageable beast.

But never looking for a helping hand,
Ahead, ahead with burning lips to lump
To Holy day in which the Holy Land --
A giant hump -- will rise above the humps.

"And There's No Grave…"

And there’s no grave! No separation, ending!
The table’s un-spelled, the house – wakened up.
Like Death – on a gay dinner after wedding,
I’m Life, arrived on the last evening sup!

"As the Hand on Left With..."

As the hand on left with the hand on right
Our souls are beside.

We had both gone in a bliss of flight
As the wing on left and the wing on right.

But a whirl arrived -- and a chasm is left
From the wing on right to the wing on left!

"Every Verse is a Child of Love"

Every verse is a child of love,
A destitute bastard slip,
A firstling -- the winds above --
Left by the road asleep.
Heart has a gulf, and a bridge,
Heart has a bless, and a grief.
Who is his father? A liege?
Maybe a liege, or a thief.

"From Mirror's Plane Where..."

From mirror's plane where clouds flow
In a dreamy way
I tried to force a path you go,
The final quay.

I see a mast in salty breeze --
You stand by side...
You go by train -- a dusky heath
Yields evening plight...

The evening heath is set in dew,
Crows are bold...
I bless you: let you go to
Four sides of world!

"I Bless a Night I Sleep..."

I bless a night I sleep in my abode,
I bless a day when to my work I go,
Judgment and mercy of omniscient God,
The good law - and the stony law,

My dusty purple, patched in every piece...
My dusty staff, in the eternal glow!
And else, O God, I bless forever -- peace
And bread in stove of another home.

"If Your Soul Was Born..."

If your soul was born with wings
What does a hut mean or a palace of kings!
What -- Genghis Khan, and what -- a horde!
I have two foes in the whole world,
They are two twins in one image united:
Hunger of hungry and glut of glutted.

"I Had Been Leaving Coast of Misty Albion…"

"I had been leaving coast of misty Albion.” -- Batjushkoff

"I had been leaving coast of misty Albion."
How divine they are - this sadness and this height!
I see the dingy waves fall down and rise on,
The dingy firmament... I know that all by hart.

I see the youth that leaned upon the high mast's rope,
As beautiful as if he were by fairies born,
Wrapped in a coat. O! Let every virgin sob!
Cry, manhood! Cry, my misty Albion!

It's done! He is alone between these sky and flow!
There is a school for you who have been ‘gainst schools all!
And in a fatal heart, pierced with a star's arrow,
There enters in the king of fatal winds - Aeoll!

The roar of dingy waves is making the new ballad
Of wonderful his death from stars that libeled him on
Cry, Youth! Cry, Love! Cry, World! O, sob my dear Aellad!
Cry, little Ada! Cry, my misty Albion!

"I Like That You are Crazy Not With Me…"

(Abridged)

I like that you are crazy not with me,
I like that I’m not with you crazy, either,
That ne’er the heavy planet’s globe will be
Drifting away under our feet, quite easy.
I like that one might funny be and brave,
And free-behaved – and not to play words, rather,
And not to blush with choking a wave,
At easy touching just a sleeve another’s.

I thank you with my hand and all my heart
For loving me (that you don’t even know!),
For the sweet peace, I own in the night,
For the scarce meeting in the eve’s fast flow,
For our not-walking under the moonlight,
For our not-standing under the sun’s glow –
That not with me – alas – you lose your mind,
That not with you – alas – I lose my own.

hi dr!
