Loading...

out at woodruff place~~afar
from the city’s glare and jar
with the leafy trees, instead
of the awnings, overhead;
with the shadows cool and sweet
for the fever of the street;
with the silence, like a prayer
breathing round us everywhere

gracious anchorage, at last
from the billows of the vast
tide of life that comes and goes
whence and where n0body knows~~
moving, like a skeptic’s thought
out of nowhere into naught
touch and tame us with thy grace
placid calm of woodruff place!

weave a wreath of beechen leaves
for the brow that throbs and grieves
o’er the ledger, bl~~dy~lined
‘neath the sun~struck window~blind!
send the breath of woodland bloom
through the sick man’s prison room
till his old farm~home shall swim
sweet in mind to hearten him!
out at woodruff place the muse
dips her sandal in the dews
sacredly as night and dawn
baptize lilied grove and lawn:
woody path, or paven way~~
she doth haunt them night and day,~~
sun or moonlight through the trees
to her eyes, are melodies

swinging lanterns, twinkling clear
through night~scenes, are songs to her~~
tinted lilts and choiring hues
blent with children’s glad halloos;
then belated lays that fade
into midnight’s serenade~~
vine~like words and zithern~strings
twined through ali her slumberings

blessed be each hearthstone set
neighboring the violet!
blessed every rooftree prayed
over by the beech’s shadel
blessed doorway, opening where
we may look on nature~~there
hand to hand and face to face~~
storied realm, or woodruff place
