Masquerading

The lips so often frame a smile While the eyes in salt tears swim And heart, repellent cup of bile, Is filled to kiss the brim. Oft firm and stern we find a face, Devoid of outward sign, A mask before the dwelling place Of happiness divine.

Sunset

Round appearing, Illuminant fire, Built in space, Shedding heat, Traveling westward ; Your photosphere Conflicts With dwindling light Of stricken day, At dying hour. Emerging from The reek appears At distant edge of earth, A straightened rainbow Reaching far into the sky- You are an artist, Sun!

Gone West

I often wonder, Oscar, How it fares with you ; Do you look down and smile on us, From that vast realm of blue ? Tell me, Brother, do you hear The belching cannon's roar? Does their death-dealing thunder break Your peace on yonder shore ? I seem to hear you answering, That toil and pain and woe And care and strife — ah! yes, and death Were left behind, below.
