But by the strong, compelling force of thought

Warmer of the heart! the key to lips
That otherwise were sealed to me;
Opener of love's gates, wherein I see
The realms of joy and feel warm finger tips
About my neck Thou makest me oft surmise
A sweet abandon in my lady's…
The Breaking Plow

I am the plow that turns the sod
That has lain for a thousand years;
Where the prairie's wind-tossed Bewars nod
And the wolf her wild enb rears,
I come, and in my wake, like rain,
In scattered the golden seed;

The Retired Farmer

He tires soon of the life in town,
Just loafing ain't much fun
He's worked for years for the goal he's reached
But 'tis empty now 'tis won
Of things he envied, he's now blase,
And the crowd down at the store

And the sentinel stars set their watch in the sky;
And thousands had sunk on the ground over- powered
The weary to sleep, and the wounded to die
When reposing…

THE MAN BEHIND

She's standing on her toes to keep the strap within her reach,
The car is going round the curve and she lets go the strap,
Tis the man behind the paper…

Where the violets are in bloom
Sleeps a fair and lovely maiden In the cold and silent tomb
Once she and I were sweethearts;
She was faithful true, and braver
Now beneath a weeping…

Never Als eves from its page he tock
Either to left or right to lock
But with steadfast soul, as was his rule,
The holy page he scanned

Sometimes, in dreams, I see a room
With massive walls and fair;
Rose-shaded lights shut out the gloom,
The air is sweet with flowers in bloom
And you are there
Sometimes, the room I see in dreams
Is homely, small, and bare;

A Whisper

"I love you, dear" High in the tree
That spread its sheltering branches near,
A song-bird trilled an ecstasy

The gray mist rose from hill and mere,
But no rain fell for you and me;
And all our sky was bright…

Good hands at bridge,
A little dash,
Une cause celebre,
A motor-car,
A whitewash brush,
And there you are
