The fact is the sweetest dream that labor knows.
A Boy's Will (1913)
"Men work together," I told him from the heart,
"Whether they work together or apart."
A Boy's Will (1913)
Ah, when to the heart of man
Was it ever less than a treason
To go with the drift of things,
To yield with a grace to reason,
And bow and accept the end
Of a love or a season?
A Boy's Will (1913)
There was never a sound beside the wood but one,
And that was my long scythe whispering to the ground.
A Boy's Will (1913)
The desolate, deserted trees,
The faded earth, the heavy sky,
The beauties she so truly sees,
She thinks I have no eye for these,
And vexes me for reason why.
A Boy's Will (1913)
My Sorrow, when she's here with me,
Thinks these dark days of autumn rain
Are beautiful as days can be;
She loves the bare, the withered tree;
She walks the sodden pasture lane.
A Boy's Will (1913)
Her pleasure will not let me stay.
She talks and I am fain to list:
She's glad the birds are gone away,
She's glad her simple worsted gray
Is silver now with clinging mist.
A Boy's Will (1913)
Not yesterday I learned to know
The love of bare November days
Before the coming of the snow,
But it were vain to tell her so,
And they are better for her praise.
