Harnessed Charles's Wain,
And whispered round the Nebulae
"Who loved Jane?"Now less fatigued on his aetherial plain
Bootes follows his celestial wain;In peace Spring freed her flocks and showered her grain,
Summer sate smiling under peaceful leaves,
And Autumn piled on the unwarlike wainThe moon in the field of the keel-plowed main
Was watching the growing tide:
A luminous peasant was driving his wain,the great dog under the creaking wain
Hangs his head in the lazy heat, while onward the
horses toil and strainAnd closing ranks amain;
The peaks they hew'd from their boot-points
Might wellnigh load a wain.To lose with pleasure, what thou gotst with pain;
But drive on sacred festivals thy plow,
Tearing high-ways with thy ore-charged wain.The black-mouthed gun and staggering wain;
Men start not at the battle-cry,
Oh, be it never heard again!Slow below the Wynberg firs trails the tilted wain --
Take the flower and turn the hour, and kiss your love again!And up the lane
You may hear, but cannot see,
The homing wain.Remember how beside the wain,
We spoke the word of war,
And sowed this harvest of the plain,There wrought the busy harvesters; and many a creaking wain
Bore slowly to the long barn-floor is load of husk and grain;And harvest-home hath hush'd the changing wain,
On the waste hill no forms of life appear,
Save where, sad laggard of the autumnal train,Or why men drew the breath to carry pain.
High reared the ploughshare, broken lay the wain,Like boys that run behind the loaded wain
For the mere joy of riding back again,O love, to-night across the half-shorn plain
Shall I not go to meet the yellow wain,Denying that his wagon or his wain
Did any such commodity contain.Upon his loaded wain;
He's measuring o'er the Pictured Rocks,
With eager eyes of gain.To lose with pleasure, what thou gotst with pain;
But drive on sacred festivals thy plow,
Tearing high-ways with thy ore-charged wain.(Or, it may be, Charles his Wain)
Tempts the tiny elves to try on
All their little tricks again;
