what is this i read in history
full of marvel full of mystery
difficult to understand | img2poems |
never since the world was made
such a wonderful crusade
started forth for palestine | img2poems |
singing lowly meekly slowly
give us give us back the holy
sepulchre of the redeemer | img2poems |
life and death and love and hate
homes made happy or desolate
hearts made sad or gay | img2poems |
like a red seal is the setting sun
on the good and the evil men have done
naught can to-day restore | img2poems |
through my closed eyelids by the inner sight
i see the constellations in the arc
of their great circles moving on and hark | img2poems |
not in tenderness wanting yet rough are the rhymes of our poet
though it be jacob's voice esau's alas
are the hands | img2poems |
how can the three be one
you ask me i answer by asking
hail and snow and rain are they not three and yet one | img2poems |
and the sea said lo i breathe
but my breath
to some will be life to others death | img2poems |
who has searched or sought
all the unexplored and spacious
universe of thought | img2poems |
how thy name sublime
has descended to this latest
progeny of time | img2poems |
this is our consolation and again
a great soul cries to us in our suspense
i came from martyrdom unto this peace | img2poems |
traveller
why dost thou wildly rush and roar
mad river o mad river | img2poems |
wilt thou not pause and cease to pour
thy hurrying headlong waters o'er
this rocky shelf forever | img2poems |
dost thou not know that what is best
in this too restless world is rest
from over-work and worry | img2poems |
the river
what wouldst thou in these mountains seek
o stranger from the city | img2poems |
is it perhaps some foolish freak
of thine to put the words i speak
into a plaintive ditty | img2poems |
thou seest the day is past its prime
i can no longer waste my time
the mills are tired of waiting | img2poems |
the thoughts of men shall be
as sentinels to keep
your rest from danger free | img2poems |
awake
arise
the hour is late | img2poems |
o traveller stay thy weary feet
drink of this fountain pure and sweet
it flows for rich and poor the same | img2poems |
then go thy way remembering still
the wayside well beneath the hill
the cup of water in his name | img2poems |
what say the bells of san blas
to the ships that southward pass
from the harbor of mazatlan | img2poems |
to them it is nothing more
than the sound of surf on the shore
nothing more to master or man | img2poems |
the saints
ah have they grown
forgetful of their own | img2poems |
o bells of san blas in vain
ye call back the past again
the past is deaf to your prayer | img2poems |
out of the shadows of night
the world rolls into light
it is daybreak everywhere | img2poems |
why dost thou bear me aloft
o angel of god on thy pinions
o'er realms and dominions | img2poems |
softly i float as a cloud
in air for thy right hand upholds me
thy garment enfolds me | img2poems |
sweetest divinest of all
was the humble deed of thine
and the meekness of thy demeanor | img2poems |
angel of light
i cannot gainsay thee
i can but obey thee | img2poems |
but why should the reapers eat of it
and not the prophet of zion
in the den of the lion | img2poems |
alas
how full of fear
is the fate of prophet and seer | img2poems |
let us descend
into the city splendid
into the city of gold | img2poems |
as we draw near
what sound is it i hear
ascending through the dark | img2poems |
repent
repent
repent | img2poems |
o priest and pharisee
who hath warned you to flee
from the wrath that is to be | img2poems |
't is written
man shall not live by bread alone
but by each word that from god's mouth proceedeth | img2poems |
ah could i by some sudden aberration
lend and delude to suicidal death
this christ of nazareth | img2poems |
lo i have brought thee
let thy glory here
be manifest and clear | img2poems |
but one temptation still remains untried
the trial of his pride
the thirst of power the fever of ambition | img2poems |
get thee behind me satan
thou shalt worship
the lord thy god him only shalt thou serve | img2poems |
the nazarene
who preacheth to the poor in field and village
the coming of god's kingdom | img2poems |
how serene
his aspect is
manly yet womanly | img2poems |
and tell me she with eyes of olive tint
and skin as fair as wheat and pale brown hair
the woman at his side | img2poems |
that is manahem
the essenian he who dwells among the palms
near the dead sea | img2poems |
o woman what have i
to do with thee
mine hour is not yet come | img2poems |
all men set forth good wine at the beginning
and when men have well drunk that which is worse
but thou hast kept the good wine until now | img2poems |
hereafter thou shalt see the heavens unclosed
the angels of god ascending and descending
upon the son of man | img2poems |
behold how thy disciples do a thing
which is not lawful on the sabbath-day
and thou forbiddest them not | img2poems |
he hath been with the master
tell us philip
what tidings dost thou bring | img2poems |
as natural brute beasts they growl at things
they do not understand and they shall perish
utterly perish in their own corruption | img2poems |
wells are they without water
clouds carried with a tempest unto whom
the mist of darkness is reserved forever | img2poems |
behold he cometh
there is one man with him
i am amazed to see | img2poems |
i feel that it might say unto the blind
receive your sight
and straightway they would see | img2poems |
i feel that it might say unto the dead
arise
and they would hear it and obey | img2poems |
what have i to do
with thee thou son of god
do not torment us | img2poems |
go home unto thy friends
and tell them how great things the lord hath done
for thee and how he had compassion on thee | img2poems |
the herds
the herd
o most unlucky day | img2poems |
thus righteously are punished
the apostate jews that eat the flesh of swine
and broth of such abominable things | img2poems |
we sacrifice a sow unto demeter
at the beginning of harvest and another
to dionysus at the vintage-time | img2poems |
let us depart
for they that sanctify and purify
themselves in gardens eating flesh of swine | img2poems |
o master
i entreat thee
i implore thee | img2poems |
my daughter lieth at the point of death
i pray thee come and lay thy hands upon her
and she shall live | img2poems |
thou seest the multitude that throng and press thee
and sayest thou: who touched me
't was not i | img2poems |
see she obeys his voice
she stirs
she lives | img2poems |
and pass and disappear and are no more
but leave behind their merchandise and jewels
their perfumes and their gold and their disgust | img2poems |
i loathe them and the very memory of them
is unto me as thought of food to one
cloyed with the luscious figs of dalmanutha | img2poems |
i look upon this raiment that i wear
these silks and these embroideries and they seem
only as cerements wrapped about my limbs | img2poems |
i look upon these rings thick set with pearls
and emerald and amethyst and jasper
and they are burning coals upon my flesh | img2poems |
but from that very hour the seven demons
that had their habitation in this body
which men call beautiful departed from me | img2poems |
as of a drowning man
and then the voice
why didst thou doubt o thou of little faith | img2poems |
whereunto shall i liken then the men
of this generation
and what are they like | img2poems |
see how she kneels there weeping and her tears
fall on his feet and her long golden hair
waves to and fro and wipes them dry again | img2poems |
a certain creditor
had once two debtors and the one of them
owed him five hundred pence the other fifty | img2poems |
yea for i said to thee
it shall be well with thee if thou love justice
and clemency towards thy fellow-men | img2poems |
and then foreseeing all thy life i added
but these thou wilt forget and at the end
of life the lord will punish thee | img2poems |
thou shalt reign twenty
nay thirty years
i cannot name the end | img2poems |
this is my birthday and a happier one
was never mine
we hold a banquet here | img2poems |
that they may be inhabitants of earth
and lead man to destruction
such are these | img2poems |
not that dear child
i dare not for the people
regard john as a prophet | img2poems |
good manahem
give me thy hand
i love the essenians | img2poems |
he's gone and hears me not
the guests are dumb
awaiting the pale face the silent witness | img2poems |
sink back into the earth
or vanish into the air
thou castle of despair | img2poems |
let it all be but a dream
of the things of monstrous birth
of the things that only seem | img2poems |
the lamps are all extinguished only one
burns steadily and from the door its light
lies like a shining gate across the street | img2poems |
verily verily i say unto thee
except a man be born again he cannot
behold the kingdom of god | img2poems |
verily i say unto thee except
a man be born of water and the spirit
he cannot enter into the kingdom of god | img2poems |
we israelites from the primeval man
adam ahelion derive our bodies
our souls are breathings of the holy ghost | img2poems |
it is not this the jews are waiting for
nor can this be the christ the son of david
who shall deliver us | img2poems |
and no man hath ascended up to heaven
but he alone that first came down from heaven
even the son of man which is in heaven | img2poems |
this is the condemnation that the light
is come into the world and men loved darkness
rather than light because their deeds are evil | img2poems |
of me he speaketh
he reproveth me
because i come by night to question him | img2poems |
for every one that doeth evil deeds
hateth the light nor cometh to the light
lest he should be reproved | img2poems |
but he that doeth truth comes to the light
so that his deeds may be made manifest
that they are wrought in god | img2poems |
a young man clad in white
is coming through the gateway and a crowd
of people follow | img2poems |
chilion
good neighbors
lead me on | img2poems |
good lord
my sight
that i receive my sight | img2poems |
how beautiful thou art
i should have known thee
thou hast her eyes whom we shall see hereafter | img2poems |
o god of abraham
elion
adonai | img2poems |
