Recitation.

Men tell of a thrice-famous Buccaneer--

The Demon of the Caribs was he called, --

That never in the red hours of his life

Had he to do with aught of womankind

Save only one alone,.- and her he knew

One little hour (the while he sacked her town)

One hour alone he held her in his arms

But always in his heart.

Recitation.

Einst war ein weltberiihmter Buccaneer,

Der Damon der Karihen hiess er nur,

Der nienuds, selbst in seines Lebens Gluth,

Geworben hatte urn der Frauen Gunst.

Dock ja! -die eine wollt' er sich erringen -

Duch er errang sie sich fur kurze Stuiide nur,

Nur diese eine Stunde hitlt er sie i»i Arm,

Jedoch im Herzen stets.

Recitation.

What time his wave of woe engulfed the town

He came upon her in a garden -close,

And lightly loving,would have stol'n her forth.

But she in a white beauty proudly dight

Shamed the light words upon his lips;whereat,

Recitation.

Zur Stunde als den Ort er heintgesuckt,

In ihrem Garten traf er sie allein,

Itn tollen Liebestaumel hiitt' er sie entfiihrt;

Dock sie,in zveicher Schonheit, Iteltr und stolz,

Beschcimte seiner Lippenleichtes Wort.

Recitation.

So flowed the song. ..Which hearing, in her heart

Love flamed to life and drank up all her soul

.

Hut when the now triumphant Buccaneer

Laughing,made move to take her, dagger sprang

Into her hand to hold her honour... So,

Forth faring,in the churchyard, found he priests

That shrank before his eye and did his will;

And bringing her before the altar there

Within the dim cathedral were they wed.

Recitation.

So floss das Lied- und w'dhrend sie gelauscht

Gebar ihr Herz die Liebe,der sic gam sichgab.

Dock als der Ri'mber sieghaft sie zvollt' fassen

Da blinkt in Hirer Hand ein kleiner Dolch

Urn Hire Ehre zu beschiitzen.... So

Begub er sich zum Kirchenvorhof,zvo

Er Priesterfand,die eingesdiiiehtert seinen Willen that en.

Drauf bracht'er sie vor den Altar im Heiligthum.

Und in der dustern Kirche wurden siegetraut

Recitation.

Such was the bond between them... And the hour,

And that sonorous marriage saerament,

And stubborn beauty melted into love

And that proud heart that stooped to hear him plead,

And those dark eyes that softened for his eyes,..

So moved him that the heart of him was turned

And all its evil charred and ashen grown,

And his proud soul abased itself to hers,

And his full heart flowed out upon his lips.

Recitation.

So war's mit intern lUtnde—dort zur Stund,

So—mitdem hehren Ehesakrament;

So ward die spr'ode Schonheit liebeweick;

So neigte sich ihm dort das stolzc Herz.

Und Hire dunklen Augen warden mild. . .

.

Davon ergriffen ward sein Herz bezahmt,

Sein b'dser Sinn bezwungen und gel'dhmt.

Der hohe Flag der Seele neigte sich ihr zu

Und von den Lippen floss sein voiles Herz:

Recitation.

So singing, in the garden Love was throned,

And for an hour he held his court... And then

Her father, for the honour of his house,

Crept out behind them in the thrilling dawnAnd would have slain the Buccaneer. But she

A loyal wife, beheld the upraised sword

And interposed her heart... Such wise, she died.

And over Beauty's corse the Buccaneer

Vowed her eternal fealty, and this oath

He kept throughout his life,--nor ever held

Speech with another woman in the world.

Recitation.

So Sanger, und int Garten Liebe thront!

Dock Schicksal's Neid bringt drohende Gefahr.

Des Vater's Zomentflamint das traute Lichen,

Damit er seines Hauses Ehre zcahre

Erschlagen h'dtte er den R'duber zvuhl,doch sie —

Ein treues We i b - splint daserhob'ne Schwert

Und bat ihr Herz ihm dar... So starb sie dart,

Und iiber Hirer Sch'u'nheit Leiche schtvor

Der R'duber ezo'ge Treue ihr und diesen Eid

Hielt ersein Leben lung.

XTbe Sailing

Greet ye the morning, laugh her upAnd sing the sun below,

For it's out wi' me to the Carib SeaWhere the scented east-winds blow

;

Oh, the day is new, and the galleons fewThat cling to the desperate rendezvousWe know, we know

;

So lay your lingering steel awayAnd seamen be for another day,For another sun and our goal is won,Out on the Carib sea.

For Hnrnadino harbor lies

But hfty leagues ahead,So an we speak no sail this weekWe dine on Spanish bread

;

So an we grip no scented shipThere's a fairer goal to our golden trip

I' the bay, i' the bay ;

So handle your hemp as ye polish your steel,—

There's Gold in the offing, War's at the wheel,

And you're out wi' me to the Carib Sea,

Out to the Carib Sea !

II.

(•Recitation)

Men tell of a thrice-famous Buccaneer

—

Tne Demon of theCaiibs was he called,

—

That never in the red hours of his life

Had he to do with aught of womankind>:ive only one alone, and her he knewOne little hour (the while he sacked her town)( die hour alone he held her in his arms,Hut always in his heart.

Zhe rTDeetittG

We bearded the garrison first,

The citadi 1 made we our own,The stout-hearted Governor cursed

'Til he swallowed it all with a groan

;

We hanged him high from the wall

And turned to the helpless townA«, drunk with the dread of it all,

The night reeled shuddering down.

The rage of }he ones to resist

Was drowned in the vermeil wave,Where the sea-steel sputtered and hissed,Where my bellowing sea-dogs drave;

Yea, driving the lambs to the fold,

So sacked we with never a light,

Save that which the seekers for goldLet fiame in the murderous night.

I wandered alone in a wayUnplundered, silent, apart,

And saw when the dawning was greyA Face look into my heart

!

She stood, with her sorrowful eyes,Where the dawn-g'iost haunted the dial,

And I measured the idle sunriseBy the lovelier light of her Binile.

(Recitation,

What time his wave of v\oe engulfed the townlie came upon tier in a g«ird en-close,And, lightly loving, would Lave stol'n her forth.

But she, in a white beauty proudly dight,.Shamed the light words upon his lips ; wnereatHe snatched an hour for her most courteous wooingWith an old song that lioated to his lips.

ZTbe MooingAh, Princess, hast thou laughed and left

Some fa<»ry isle that called thee queen?And hath that island so bereft

Retained the tiouted robe of greenThat graced tliy lovely ruling, whenIt knows thou shalt not come again?

Princess, hearken ; wilt thou trust

To my stern clay thy tenderer dust?Turn to my wooing,—hush thee, sweet,'Tis but my comrades in the street 1

Ah, Princess, doth thine empire seemFar from the auguish here that lies?

Resume the sceptre of thy dream,And make crown jewels of thine eyes,

And rule a realm whose boundaries areLimited by my boundless war!

Princess, hearken while I woo,For love is brief and death is dueTo him who kills,— flinch not, my fair,

'Tis but my comrades on the stair

!

Ah. Princess, of thr.t faery isle

Resign :.hy reign, and rule with meWith sudden splendor of thy smileO'er long, deep reaches ol ; he sea

;

And .ill the world shall vassal beF"or love of thee, for love of thee.

Princess, hark to me and giveTby love to make my love to live

;

Here, to my heart! . . Love, fear no more,'Tis but my comrades at the door !

IV.

(Recitation)

So flowed the song . . . which hearing, in her heartLove flamed to life and drank up all her soul.xJjt when the now triumphant Buccaneer,Laughing, made move to take her, dagger sprangInto her hand to hold her honor. So,Forth faring, in the churchyard found he priestsThat shrank before his eye and did his will ; '

And bringing her before "the altar there,Within the dim cathedral were they wed.

XEbe /IDarrtaoe

The still cathedral, high and dark and wide,The gloom that hid us kneeling side by side,

—

Yea, where the candles at the chancel flaredI took of love a sweetheart and a bride.

(Chtinted the priests . . . Orate . . . Domine.)

The sudden silence drinking up the din,The hush that gripped us as the doors swung in,Leaviug us soul to soul with solitude,

—

The while the city wallowed in my sin.

{The dreamy chanting . . . Jesu . . . Domine.)

The long slow Latin periods were hungToo lovingly upon the abbe's tongue ;

I made a prodding handle of my sword,

—

And all the while the dark-robed brothers sung:(Orayro notris . . Jesu . . . Domine.)

I snatched the gray hood from his frowning brows.Word for nia word I vowed the immortal vows,And, kneeling, knew an unknown sacramentIn the load silence of her Father's House.(And for my foul th( cl anting . . Doming.)

(Recitation)

Such was the bond between them . . And the hour,Vmi that sonorous marriage sacrament,And stubborn beauty melted into love,

And that pure heart that stooped to hear him plead,And those dark eyes that softened for his eyes,—So meed him that the heart of him was turnedAnd all its evil charted and ashen grown,A ud his proud soul aoased itself fo hers,

And his full heart Howed out upon his lips.

In tbe Sunrise

Sweet, in the sunrise you and I,

Clasping the love we may not read,Hear in the rout that eddies byUnwonted voices strained and "high,

—

Love we the while they bleed

;

Now in the dawn their v.oices seemBrokeu and sad with pain and fret,

—

But we are lovers in a dreamWherefrom we may not waken yet.

Sweetheart, see, the night is gone

:

I.ove is rising—Love the Dawn

!

Yea, for the chill years you and I

Snatch from the world a gilded cupAnd in our fingers hold on highThe mp gic ichor of Live-or-Die

1 augh we to drink it up I

Mark how the war-notes wild and weirdFall on the faint wind of the south,

J or all our war hath disappeared ;

—

Sweet, I am thirsty for thy mouth !

Sweetheart, see where flames the Day

I

Love the Dawn adorns our way.

Here it is dawn, but bye-and-bye,When Evening draws his sable cloak,

Shall Love be lost? Alone shall I

Pursue the quest where barren-lie

My conquests low in smoke?Never on answer try to speak,For Tiue it is must answer this ;

—

Lean but thy cheek against mv cheek,Turn but thy k'ss to meet my kiss.

Sweetheart, see, their fire (lies,

Quenched by the Love-Dawn in thiue eyes.

So singing, in tbe garden Love was throned,And for an hour he held his court. And thenHer father, for the honor of his house,Crept out behind thorn in the thrilling dawnAnd would have sJain the Buccaneer. But sheA lo\al wife, beheld the upraised swordAnd interposed her heart. Such wise, she died.And over Beauty's corse the BuccaneerVowed her eternal fealty, and this oathHe kept throughout bis' life, nor eve) holdSpeech with another woman in the world

Zbc partiuo

In the deep guard of the garden, with its arms aiound her thrownThe-e I laid hei with the roses for her winding-sheet alone.

And the silent heart within her made no quiver of her breast.

Though the flood that stole her from me left its crimson on her vest

Yea, I laid he>- there alone, when our love was just begunAnd I stared in still amazement to behold the tearless sun

Then they tried to come between us, hut I slew them when tney tried

For 1 wanted one more s'lence with my sweetheart and my bride,

So the worl<l swept on around us while the rose-leaves gathereo. deepOn the fragrant tomb tnat held her fast, and lulled my love to sleep

Then < raised my hands on high, to the barren morning sky.

And I cursed with every oath 1 knew, the One who let her die

Yea, my days should reek with crimson i . . On the sudden round her head.

Glimmered somethiug that is given to a maiden who is deadAnd I stilled my oaths in wonder, and my heart Blood hushed to see

How a maiden ! n her dying consecrated Love for meiThen I left her there alone, with the roses for her thioneAnd I gathered Love within me for the roses He had blowu —And in the silent sunrise, Beauty gathered in her own
