THE WANDERER

1. I cast my anchor nowhere (the waves whirled

2. My anchor from me); East and West are one

3. To me; against no winds are my sail furled;

4. —Merely my planet anchors to the Sun.

THE FOUNTAIN

(AN INTRODUCTION TO THE SONNETS)

1. Hush, let the fountain murmur dim

2. Melodious secrets; stir no limb,

3. But lie along the marge and wait,

4. Till deep and pregnant as with fate,

5. Fine as a star-beam, crystal-clear,

6. Each ripple grows upon the ear.

7. This is that fountain seldom seen

8. By mortal wanderer,—Hippocrene,—

9. Where the virgins three times three,

10. Thy singing brood, Mnemosyne,

11. Loosen'd the girdle, and with grave

12. Pure joy their faultless bodies gave

13. To sacred pleasure of the wave.

14. Listen! the lapsing waters tell

15. The urgence uncontrollable

16. Which makes the trouble of their breast,

17. And bears them onward with no rest

18. To ampler skies and some grey plain

19. Sad with the tumbling of the main.
