In No Strange Land
The kingdom of God is within youO world invisible, we view thee,
O world intangible, we touch thee,
O world unknowable, we know thee,
Inapprehensible, we clutch thee
The kingdom of God is within youO world invisible, we view thee,

For a thousand years the Devil crouched On the white hot flags of hell:
For a thousand years the Devil cursed The imps that had chained him well;
For a thousand years the Devil sulked And planned with his hell-trained
Of the things ...
When I was sick and lay a-bed,
I had two pillows at my head,
And all my toys beside me lay,
To keep me happy all the day
Here is the height of land:
The watershed on either
Goes down to Hudson
Or Lake Superior;
Where shall we land you, sweet_
"--Swinburne
All listlessly we float Out seaward in the boat That beareth Love
Our sails of purest snow Bend to the blue below And to the blue above
Darkrose her shore in seas of amethyst By tropic breezes kissed,
A summer land in watery wastes forlorn,
Her ranges floating in the snow-white mist And gold of early morn
The tides of Empire ebbed and flowed afar;...
The trees went up the
And over it
Then the dry grasses of the pasture
Only a kind of blonde
Do you know where the summer blooms all the year 'round,
Where there never is rain on a pic-nic day
Where the thornless rose in its beauty
And little boys never are called from play
По клюкву, по клюкву,
По ягоду, по клюкву…
Кто знает край, где небо блещет
Неизъяснимой синевой,
