Once more the storm is howling, and half hid Under this cradle-hood and coverlid My child sleeps on. There is no ostacle !ut "regory#s wood and one are hill $herey the haystac%- and roof-levelling wind, !red on the Atlantic, can e stayed& And for an hour ' have wal%ed and prayed !ecause of the great gloom that is in my mind. ' have wal%ed and prayed for this young child an hour And heard the sea-wind scream upon the tower, And under the arches of the ridge, and scream 'n the elms aove the flooded stream& 'magining in e(cited reverie That the future years had come, Dancing to a fren)ied drum, Out of the murderous innocence of the sea. May she e granted eauty and yet not !eauty to ma%e a stranger#s eye distraught, Or hers efore a loo%ing-glass, for such, !eing made eautiful overmuch, *onsider eauty a sufficient end, +ose natural %indness and maye The heart-revealing intimacy That chooses right, and never find a friend. ,elen eing chosen found life flat and dull And later had much troule from a fool, $hile that great -ueen, that rose out of the spray, !eing fatherless could have her way .et chose a andy-legg/d smith for man. 't#s certain that fine women eat A cra)y salad with their meat $herey the ,orn of Plenty is undone. 'n courtesy '#d have her chiefly learned& ,earts are not had as a gift ut hearts are earned !y those that are not entirely eautiful& .et many, that have played the fool 0or eauty#s very self, has charm made wise, And many a poor man that has roved, +oved and thought himself eloved, 0rom a glad %indness cannot ta%e his eyes. May she ecome a flourishing hidden tree That all her thoughts may li%e the linnet e, And have no usiness ut dispensing round Their magnanimities of sound, 1or ut in merriment egin a chase, 1or ut in merriment a 2uarrel. O may she live li%e some green laurel 3ooted in one dear perpetual place. My mind, ecause the minds that ' have loved, The sort of eauty that ' have approved, Prosper ut little, has dried up of late, .et %nows that to e cho%ed with hate May well e of all evil chances chief. 'f there#s no hatred in a mind Assault and attery of the wind *an never tear the linnet from the leaf. An intellectual hatred is the worst, 4o let her thin% opinions are accursed. ,ave ' not seen the loveliest woman orn Out of the mouth of Plenty#s horn, !ecause of her opinionated mind !arter that horn and every good !y 2uiet natures understood 0or an old ellows full of angry wind5 *onsidering that, all hatred driven hence, The soul recovers radical innocence And learns at last that it is self-delighting, 4elf-appeasing, self-affrighting, And that its own sweet will is ,eaven#s will& 4he can, though every face should scowl And every windy 2uarter howl Or every ellows urst, e happy still. And may her ridegroom ring her to a house $here all#s accustomed, ceremonious& 0or arrogance and hatred are the wares Peddled in the thoroughfares. ,ow ut in custom and in ceremony Are innocence and eauty orn5 *eremony#s a name for the rich horn, And custom for the spreading laurel tree.
