John White Chadwick Poems
“LOOK up,” she said; and all the heavens blazed
With countless myriads of quiet stars,
Whereon a moment silently he gazed,
...
THE GOLDEN-ROBIN came to build his nest
High in the elm-tree’s ever-nodding crest;
All the long day, upon his task intent,
...
As the insect from the rock
Takes the color of its wing;
As the boulder from the shock
Of the ocean's rhythmic swing
...
Thou for whose birth the whole creation yearned
Through countless ages of the morning world,
...
I.
Dear hearts, you were waiting a year ago
For the glory to be revealed;
...
I said: 'My heart, now let us sing a song
For a fair lady on her wedding-day;
Some solemn hymn or pretty roundelay,
...
LITTLE, I ween, did Mary guess,
As on her arm her baby lay,
What tides of joy would swell and beat,
...
When souls that have put off their mortal gear
Stand in the pure, sweet light of heaven's day,
And wondering deeply what to do or say,
...

The Best Poem Of John White Chadwick
Starlight
“LOOK up,” she said; and all the heavens blazed
With countless myriads of quiet stars,
Whereon a moment silently he gazed,
And drank that peace no trouble ever mars.
Then looking down into her face upturned,
Two other stars that did outshine the rest
Upward to him with such soft splendor yearned
That all her secret was at once confessed.
Then he with kisses did put out their light,
And said, “O strange, but more, dear love, to me
Are thy pure eyes than all the stars of night
That shine in heaven everlastingly!
Night still is night, with every star aglow;
But light were night didst thou not love me so.”
