May I Enchant
(Tonight loveliest, may I enchant thy perigee?)
Tonight loveliest, may I enchant thy perigee?
cease abnegating thy wisely rounded erudition;
Encircle thy graciousness with a light negligee..
Thine undued disruption makes me an obligee;
Isis, I 'll be a devotee due to thy contrition!
Tonight loveliest, may I enchant thy perigee?
Lustrous Nymph inspires me to be my protegee;
Selene, blest I am to worship thine exposition,
Encircle thy graciousness with a light negligee..
A gondolliere babbles his aria on a canal barge,
Doth love thee vulnerably to Lunar submission;
Tonight loveliest, may I enchant thy perigee?
Thy dancing mirth and trajectory, an apogee,
Bedewed stargazing traces a celestial position,

Saint Sebastian
On slow and smoky fire thou burn'st and art consumed,
O thou, my soul!
On slow and smoky fire thou burn'st and art consumed,
With hidden dole.
Thou droopest like Sebastian, pierced with pointed arrows,
Harassed and spent.
Thou droopest like Sebastian, pierced with pointed arrows,
Thy flesh all rent.
Thy foes encircle thee and watch with gleeful laughter
And bended bow.
Thy foes encircle thee and watch with gleeful laughter
Thy torments slow.
The embers burn, and gentle is the arrow's stinging
'Neath the evening sky.
The embers burn, and gentle is the arrow's stinging
When the end draws nigh.

The Tale of the Tiger-Tree
A Fantasy, dedicated to the little poet Alice Oliver Henderson, ten years old.
The Fantasy shows how tiger-hearts are the cause of war in all ages. It shows how the mammoth forces may be either friends or enemies of the struggle for peace. It shows how the dream of peace is unconquerable and eternal.
I
Peace-of-the-Hea rt, my own for long,
Whose shining hair the May-winds fan,
Making it tangled as they can,
A mystery still, star-shining yet,
Through ancient ages known to me
And now once more reborn with me: —
This is the tale of the Tiger Tree
A hundred times the height of a man,
Lord of the race since the world began.
This is my city Springfield,
My home on the breast of the plain.

As freely as the firmament embraces the world, or the sun pours forth impartially his beams, so mercy must encircle both friend and foe.

Doronicums are Smiling
Standing in a row
and greeting Hello
Doronicums are smiling
With their shiny Yellow.
The green hearty leaves
Encircle all you fellows
Feel so soft, rich and mellow
Rose is a king but you a Stello
Doronicum are smiling
with their shiny Yellow.
Happiness so vivid by your tone
Wisdoms the symbol that glows
Way you move when wind blows
Seems breeze playing Cello
Doronicum are smiling
with their shiny Yellow.

Baby Years
Time runs away from me
And it will take you along,
Let me inhale the sweetness of you-
The honesty of your innocence
That lingers on your child ears,
Dances along your baby smooth cheek
Before it diminishes
With the passing years
Let me hold you
While you still fit in my lap
While my arms can still encircle all of you
In a deep embrace
Let me savor you-
As I gaze into your eyes,
And forever define your precious face
