The Man Who Deceived Himself
Sailing and the SeaThis is the story of Evarra-man-
Maker of Gods in lands beyond the sea
Because the city gave him of her gold,
Because the caravans brought turquoises,
**** he made
An image of his God in gold and pearl,
With turquoise diadem and human eyes,…

Your spirit makes a wanderer of mine!
I cannot choose but leave my hearth and go
I care not where nor how- If but on hill or sky you shine,

Ensainting all the visible world, the dim
And reticent night upon the harvest lands
In silent benediction lays its hands;
Curved as the chine of a great beast, the grim
Hill heaves against the sky its shaggy rim-

When first I went to Princeton I was just as green as green,
"Ding-dong, ding!" says the Old North bell,
To tell the truth I didn't know a proctor from the Dean,

Nigh to a grave that was newly made

If what "they say" is really true, that all the woes that vex
The men-folks are occasioned by the fairer, weaker sex,
The former ought to sail away across the wide, wide sea
To some far land where they could dwell…

When twilight shakes her hourglass at the sun
And fairies froin their poppled fastness flee,
Then, little boy, with empty arms I wait

Far and far as the eyes may reach-
Twilight falling on tide and foam,
On a silvery sea-gull winging home,
On a little pool left by the spendthrift sea
Where pale stars gladden the heart…
