I will spell out this writing on hill and meadow.
The forefathers4 of our nation—
Leagues upon leagues of sealed history awaiting an interpreter.
At the core of the ages
As the prophecies of old at the heart of Gods Word.
The walls have many things to tell me,
And the days are long. I come and listen:
My hand is upon the stones, and the tale I fain would hear
Is of the men who built the walls,
And of the God who made the stones and the workers.
With searching feet I walk beside the wall;
And emerge amid clustered pools and by rolling acres of rye.
The wall is builded of field-stones great and small,
Tumbled about by frost and storm,
Shaped and polished by ice and rain and sun;
By the inscrutable sculpture of the weather;
Vanish and reappear, linger and sleep,
Filter between the naked rents and wind-bleached jags.
I understand the triumph and the truth
They are a miracle of patient hands,
O beautiful, blind stones, inarticulate and dumb!
In the deep gloom of their hearts there is a gleam
Of the primeval sun which looked upon them
So in the heart of man shines forever
A beam from the everlasting30 sun of God.
Rude and unresponsive are the stones;
I hear their imprisoned32 chant:—
"We are fragments of the universe,
Chips of the rock whereon God laid the foundation of the world:
we grew.
We serve as crypts for innumerable, unnoticed, tiny forms.
We are manifestations36 of the Might
We are shot through and through with hidden color;
We are the dust of continents past and to come,
We are as old as the world, our birth was before the hills.
We are the cup that holds the sea
And the framework of the peak that parts the sky.
When Chaos shall again return,
And endless Night shall spread her wings upon a rained world,
We alone shall stand up from the shattered earth,
Indestructible, invincible49 witnesses of Gods eternal purpose.
In reflective mood by the wall I wander;
Of the stern men who built the wall in early olden days.
And I follow them in and out among the stones.
I think of the days long gone,
Flown like birds beyond the ramparts of the world.
The patient, sturdy men who piled the stones
Have vanished, like the days, beyond the bounds
Of earth and mortal things.
nation.
I am bone of their bone, breath of their breath,
Their courage is in my soul.
The wall is an Iliad of granite: it chants to me
Of fearless journeyings and old forgotten things.
The blood of grim ancestors warms the fingers
That trace the letters of their story;
In my struggle with darkness and pain.
These embossed books, unobliterated by the tears and laughter
of Time,
Are signed with the vital hands of undaunted men.
From my seat among the stones I stretch my hand and touch
My friend the elm, urnlike, lithesome, tall.
Far above the reach of my exploring fingers
Through leafy billows of green.
The words are the ancientest language of trees—
They tell of how earth and air and light
Are wrought anew to beauty and to fruitfulness.
I feel the glad stirrings under her rough bark;
Her great limbs thrill beneath the wand of spring.
This wall was builded in our fathers days—
Valorous days when life was lusty and the land was new.
To us they left the law,
And the wall is the bond they gave the nation
At its birth of courage and unflinching faith.
They wrote their course upon a trackless sea.
O, tiny craft, bearing a nations seed!
And winter deepened as they neared the West.
Out of the desert sea they came at last,
And their hearts warmed to see that frozen land.
O, first gray dawn that filtered through the dark!
They stood upon the shore like new created men;
The conquered sea behind, the unconquered wilderness74 before.
Some died that year beneath the cruel cold,
That spring the new-plowed field for bread of life
Bordered the new-dug acre marked for death;
Beside the springing corn they laid in the sweet, dark earth
The little child, and the uncomplaining mother.
Across the meadow, by the ancient pines,
Where I, the child of life that lived that spring,
Drink in the fragrances78 of the young year,
The field-wall meets one grimly squared and straight.
Beyond it rise the old tombs, gray and restful,
Like the steadfast, angular beliefs
Of those whom they commemorate81, the headstones stand,
Cemented deep with moss and invisible roots.
The rude inscriptions82 charged with faith and love,
Graceless as Death himself, yet sweet as Death,
As children lisping words which move to laughter
Are themselves poems of unconscious melody,
Are beautiful for their halting words of faith,
Their groping love that had no gift of song.
But all the broken tragedy of life
Are celebrated89 in sweet epitaphs of vines and violets.
Close by the wall a peristyle of pines
Beyond the village churchyard, still and calm,
Steeped in the sweetness of eternal morn,
Beside the brook which plays
A wind of ancient romance blows across the field,
A sweet disturbance94 thrills the air;
And the earth is astir with joy.
Come the little children of the wood.
Up from the south come the odor-laden winds,
Angels and ministers of life,
Dropping seeds of fruitfulness
Like the first thoughts of love
In the breast of a maiden;
The witchery of love is in rock and tree.
Across the pasture, star-sown with daisies,
I see a young girl—the spirit of spring she seems,
Sweet and clear her voice calls father and brother,
And one whose name her shy lips will not utter.
But a chorus of leaves and grasses speaks her heart
And tells his name: the birches flutter by the wall;
The wild cherry-tree shakes its plumy head
Spread the gossip to the lilies in the lake:
In the unfolding of the tale
That Adam and Eve beneath the blossoming rose-tree
Told each other in the Garden of Eden.
Once more the wind blows from the walls,
She stands at the lilac-shaded door
With her baby at her breast;
She looks across the twilit fields and smiles
And whispers to her child: Thy father comes!
Life triumphed over many-weaponed Death.
But with the ship that sailed again went no retreating soul!
Stubborn, unvanquished, clinging to the skirts of Hope,
They kept their narrow foothold on the land,
And the ship sailed home for more.
With yearlong striving they fought their way into the forest;
Their axes echoed where I sit, a score of miles from the sea.
Slowly, slowly the wilderness yielded
To smiling grass-plots and clearings of yellow corn;
And while the logs of their cabins were still moist
With odorous sap, they set upon the hill
And by it the shrine of liberty for mans soul,
The school-house and the church.
The apple-tree by the wall sheds its blossom about me—
At noon the wizard sun stirs the hot soil under the pines.
I take the top stone of the wall in my hands
And the sun in my heart;
I feel the rippling land extend to right and left,
Bearing up a receptive surface to my uncertain feet;
I encounter a chaos of tumbled rocks.
Or like great birds at rest,
Track the sod like the noiseless sandals of Spring.
Out of chinks in the wall delicate grasses wave,
As beauty grew out of the crannies of these hard souls.
Joyously, gratefully, after their long wrestling
With the bitter cold and the harsh white winter,
They heard the step of Spring on the edge of melting snow-drifts;
Gladly, with courage that flashed from their life-beaten souls,
As the fire-sparks fly from the hammered stone,
They hailed the fragrant arbutus;
Its sweetness trailed beside the path that they cut through the
forest,
And they gave it the name of their ship Mayflower.
But ever as they saw the budding spring,
Ever as they cleared the stubborn field,
Ever as they piled the heavy stones,
In mystic vision they saw, the eternal spring;
They raised their hardened hands above the earth,
And beheld the walls that are not built of stone,
The portals opened by angels whose garments are of light;
And beyond the radiant walls of living stones
They dreamed vast meadows and hills of fadeless green.
In the old house across the road
The lights are out forever, the windows are broken,
The storms beat into the rooms as the passion of the world
Racked and buffeted those who once dwelt in them.
But the walls remain visible witnesses of faith
That knew no wavering or shadow of turning.
They have withstood sun and northern blast,
Of forces leagued to tear them down.
Under the stars and the clouds, under the summer sun,
Beaten by rain and wind, covered with tender vines,
The walls stand symbols of a granite race,
The measure and translation of olden times.
Of days that were their past had they to tell
Their children to keep the new faith burning?
Tales of grandsires in the fatherland
Of Rowland Taylor who kissed the stake,
And stood with hands folded and eyes steadfastly133 turned
To the sky, and smiled upon the flames;
Who thrust his right hand into the fire
And written against the voice of his conviction.
I am kneeling on the odorous earth;
The sweet, shy feet of Spring come tripping oer the land,
Winter is fled to the hills, leaving snowy wreaths
On apple-tree, meadow, and marsh.
The walls are astir; little waves of blue
Run through my fingers murmuring:
We follow the winds and the snow!
Their heart is a cup of gold.
Soft whispers of showers and flowers
Are mingled in the spring song of the walls.
Hark to the songs that go singing like the wind
Through the chinks of the wall and thrill the heart
And quicken it with passionate139 response!
The walls sing the song of wild bird, the hoof-beat of deer,
Crows are calling from the Druidical wood;
The morning mist still haunts the meadows
Like the ghosts of the wall builders.
As I listen, methinks I hear the bitter plaint
The wronged, friendly, childlike, peaceable tribes,
The red men to whom Nature opened all her secrets,
Who knew the haunts of bird and fish,
All the travail of man and beast they knew—
Birth and death, heat and cold,
Hunger and thirst, love and hate;
life
That man suckled at the breast of woman must know.
The winds murmur their mysteries through dusky aisles—
Living things are afoot among the grasses;
The closed fingers of the ferns unfold,
New bees explore new flowers, and the brook
Helpless against her grim, sin-darkened judges.
Satan sits by the judgment-seat and laughs.
Sing that she was once a girl of love and laughter,
Then a fair mother with lullabies on her lips,
In weaving warmth to keep her brood against the winter cold.
And in her tongue was the law of kindness;
For her God was the Lord Jehovah.
Enemies uprose and swore her accused,
And she could but answer: The Evil One
She stood amazed before the tribunal of her church
And heard the gate of Gods house closed against her.
And fearful the words spoken from the judgment-seat!
She raised her white head and clasped her wrinkled hands:
Nor, since Thou art a just and terrible God,
For they have sworn away the life of Thy servant
Who hath lived long in the land keeping Thy commandments.
I am old, Lord, and betrayed;
A Judas kiss hath marked me for a witch.
But still they suffered her to die.
Sing of happier themes, O many-voiced epic,
men,
And leave only faith and love and truth.
Sing of the Puritans nobler nature,
Fathomless173 as the forests he felled,
Irresistible174 as the winds that blow.
Which guarded his pure ideal.
And after solemn prayer solemnly cancelled
And abolished the divine right of kings
And declared the holy rights of man.
Scornful of earthly empire and brooding on death,
Yet wrestling life out of the wilderness
And laying stone on stone the foundation of a temporal state!
I see him standing at his cabin-door at eventide
With dreaming, fearless eyes gazing at sunset hills;
In his prophetic sight Liberty, like a bride,
Hasteth to meet her lord, the westward-going man!
He beheld an earthly state divinely fair and just.
And schooled by monarch-made injustices183,
Many republics have sprung into being,
Full-grown, equipped with theories forged in reason;
All, all have fallen in a single night;
But to the wise, fire-hardened Puritan
Democracy was not a blaze of glory
I see him standing at his cabin-door,
And all his dreams are true as when he dreamed them;
But only shall they be fulfilled if we
Are mindful of the toil that gave him power,
Are brave to dare a wilderness of wrong;
So long shall Nature nourish us and Spring
Throw riches in the lap of man
But bend us to the fruitful earth in toil.
Beyond the wall a new-plowed field lies steaming in the sun,
And down the road a merry group of children
Run toward the village school.
Hear, O hear! In the historian walls
Sacred, blood-stained walls, your peaceful front
Sheltered the fateful fires of Lexington;
Ye became the frowning breastworks of stern battle;
Lowly boundaries of the freemans farm,
Ye grew the rampart of a land at war;
And still ye cross the centuries
When farmers in their fields are kings.
From the Revolution the young Republic emerged,
She mounted up as on the wings of the eagle,
She ran and was not weary, and all the children of the world
Joined her and followed her shining path.
But ever as she ran, above her lifted head
Darkened the monster cloud of slavery.
Hark! In the walls, amid voices of prayer and of triumph,
At Gettysburg, our Golgotha, the sons of the fathers
Poured their blood to wash out a nations shame.
The broken nation rose from her knees,
And with hope reborn in her heart set forth again
Upon the open road to ideal democracy.
Sing, walls, in lightning words that shall cause the world to
vibrate,
Of the democracy to come,
We are part of it—the wonder and the terror and the glory!
Fearless we rush forward to meet the years,
The years that come flying towards us
With wings outspread, agleam on the horizon of time!
Ye are barbarous, in congruous, but great with the greatness of
reality.
Walls wrought in unfaltering effort,
Of the labor of lusty toilers.
Down through the years comes the ring of their victorious198 axes:
Ye are titans of the forest, but we are stronger;
But we are strong with the unconquerable strength of souls!
Shakes the solitudes with the strokes of creation;
Doubly strong we renew the valorous days,
The fresh green, benevolent202 West,
The buoyant, fruitful West that dares and sings!
Pure, dew-dripping walls that guard
The quiet, lovable, fertile fields,
Sing praises to Him who from the mossy rocks
Can bid the fountains leap in thirsty lands.
I walk beside the stones through the young grain,
Through waves of wheat that billow about my knees.
But the wheat is charged with the life of the world;
Its force is irresistible; onward it sweeps,
Till hill and valley, field and plain
Are flooded with its green felicity!
Out of the moist earth it has sprung;
And in it is wrought the miracle of life.
Sing, prophetic, mystic walls, of the dreams of the builders;
Sing in thundering tones that shall thrill us
To try our dull discontent, our barren wisdom
Against their propagating, unquenchable, questionless visions.
Sing in renerving refrain of the resolute men,
Each a Lincoln in his smoldering207 patience,
Each a Luther in his fearless faith,
And let the hosts of liberty march through.
Which old voices, old songs, old kisses cover,
Tell of the greater things to be,
And law and right are one.
Sing that the Lord cometh, the Lord cometh,
The fountain-head and spring of life!
fire,
Sing that the Lord shall build us all together.
As living stones build us, cemented together.
May He who knoweth every pleasant thing
That our sires forewent to teach the peoples law and truth,
Who counted every stone blessed by their consecrated215 hands,
Grant that we remain liberty-loving, substantial, elemental,
And that faith, the rock not fashioned of human hands,
