Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ...showing; Three daisies shone like stars in her dark hair, Her eyes were deep, her brown slim neck was bare. Her soft dress blowing made a rustling sound; Rhythmic she came; over her quiet face The wind blew strays of hair, she slightly frowned, An absent gesture brushed them back in place; April she was, --she came with April's grace, Into his heart she came, softly as fire, And in his eyes rose lightnings of desire. She was the earth that's gentle, smiles in sun, The soft green earth of spring, the hush of spring, Young earth in whom have hardly yet begun The blossom-fires that snow and burn and sing: Youthful and grave, a wise and shining thing, Unscathed by knowledge, therefore trebly wise, Unburned by passion yet, with undimmed eyes. 'The new man, Jane; just show him round the farm;' The old man whispered; Jane's face lighted then, She smiled to Jim, her soul faced his soul, calm, She had the frank straightforwardness of men. She led him round, showed pasture, fallows, pen, The apple orchard, full of grey old trees, The barn, a poultry-yard, some hives of bees... Jim saw, but saw not; hungrily he listened Lest he should miss her voice's slightest word, Sweetly she spoke, and, hearing, Jim's eyes glistened, Never before so sweet a voice he'd heard; It bubbled, it broke in spray, like song of bird; Like living waters that through a spring wood run, A quiet glee, a flashing in warm sun. Into his soul like song of fire it went, Warm tremulous music, strangely bringing power, An April stir, an innocent blandishment, The spring blood pushing blindly out in flower... What was this change, the magic of an hour? He yearned to reach out arms to her and take her, She was so sweet! To crush, to bruise, to break her... She was so soft, so bright, so...
