GOOD-MORNING III

I love these hands, these lips enchanting,
With them the God of love’s allied,
With them the apple-prize is granting,
But guards them, too, lest aught betide.
I love you and must say it ever,
Although you heed not what you ’ve heard,
But flee and answer: maidens never
May put their trust in poet’s word.

THE FIRST MEETING

(FROM THE FISHER MAIDEN)

Tue first fond meeting holy

Is like the woodbirds’ trilling,

Is like a sea-song thrilling,

When red the sun sinks slowly, —
Is like a horn on mountain,

That wakes time’s sleep thereunder
And summons to life’s fountain
To meet in nature’s wonder.

GOOD-MORNING

(FROM THE FISHER MAIDEN)

Day’s coming up now, joy’s returned,
Sorrow’s dark cloud-castles captured and burned;
Over the mountain-tops glowing

Light-king his armies is throwing.
