Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs and Portraits The dawns will cover you with gold, The night with a starwebbed lace, And by noon the mountain winds will come To bathe with youth your face, So that your beauty shall not fade From your hidden resting place. East are the hills you loved so well, And west the hills again; And the gallant heart they lifted up Will never grow old, nor be slain, For now it is one with the rustling grass, And the leaves, and the soft gray rain. Music is lost and vanishes When the last sweet echoes rise; And never a day but finds an end In the hush of twilight skies; Only the dead who are young like you, Know a grace that never dies. O Heart, you will open wide your arms To the new found joy of these: You will hear the whispering flame of the flowers, You will laugh at the hum of the bees; And the birds will weave with songs the time You talk with the secret trees.
