Excerpt from The Love-Song of Barbara

God Speed.

Dear Child, by toil conceived, of reverie,
Go forth at last, and be it well with thee!
Go, tell the world how midnight travail wove
A dream of joy and passion, hope and love,
Of human fate and all which fate withstands,
Of human souls, of human hearts and hands:
Hands that could snatch the sceptre, wrest the crown,
Hands that could falter at a woman's frown,
Frail human hearts, yet strong to do and dare,
Strong hearts, yet crushed by anguish and despair,
Souls that were conquered, yet as victors hailed,
Souls that in death's despite o'er death prevailed.

Go, tell the world how patiently I wrought,
Weaving the threads of fine laborious thought,
And choosing here the purple, here the gold,
Now sombre hues, now glories manifold.
