By A Grave

Arthur Sherburne Hardy
Oft have I stood within the carven door
Of some cathedral at the close of the day,
And seen its softened splendors fade away
From lucent pane and tessellated floor,
As if a parting guest who comes no more,...

Duality

Arthur Sherburne Hardy
Within me are two souls that pity each
The other for the ends they seek, yet smile
Forgiveness, as two friends that love the while
The folly against which each feigns to preach.

Immortality

Arthur Sherburne Hardy
My window is the open sky,
The flower in farthest wood is mine;
I am the heir to all gone by,
The eldest son of all the line.

And when the robbers Time and Death
Athwart my path conspiring stand,...

In An Album

Arthur Sherburne Hardy
Like the south-flying swallow the summer has flown,
Like a fast-falling star, from unknown to unknown
Life flashes and falters and fails from our sight,
Good-night, friends, good-night.

Iter Supremum

Arthur Sherburne Hardy
Oh, what a night for a soul to go!

No screening cover of leaves in the wood,

J. E. B.

Arthur Sherburne Hardy

Should yield the tired eyes of man delight,
No sweet beguiling power had stars at night
To soothe his fainting heart when day is done,
Nor any secret voice of benison...

Lullaby

Arthur Sherburne Hardy
O Mary, Mother, if the day we trod
In converse sweet the lily-fields of God,
From earth afar arose a cry of pain,
Would we not weep again?

My Friend

Arthur Sherburne Hardy
I have a friend who came, I know not how,
Nor he. Among the crowd, apart,
I feel the pressure of his hand, and hear
In very truth the beating of his heart.

My soul had shut the door of abode,...

On Ne Badine Pas Avec La Mort

Arthur Sherburne Hardy
1

The dew was full of sun that morn
(Oh I heard the doves in the ladyricks coop!)
As he crossed the meadows beyond the corn,
Watching his falcon in the blue.
How could he hear my song so far,...

On The Fly-Leaf Of The Rubaiyat

Arthur Sherburne Hardy
Deem not this book a creed, 't is but the cry
Of one who fears not death, yet would not die;
Who at the table feigns with sorry jest.
To love the wine the Master's hand has pressed,...

Songs Of Two

Arthur Sherburne Hardy
I

Last night I dreamed this dream: That I was dead;
And as I slept, forgot of man and God,
That other dreamless sleep of rest,
I heard a footstep on the sod,
As of one passing overhead,...

With April Arbutus, To A Friend

Arthur Sherburne Hardy

Yet sweeter blossoms do not grow
Than these we send you from our snow,

And stained their leaves with last year's mould;...
