PIPE AND POUCH

WITH PIPE AND BOOK.

  With Pipe and Book at close of day,
  Oh, what is sweeter, mortal, say? 
  It matters not what book on knee,
  Old Izaak or the Odyssey,
  It matters not meerschaum or clay.

  And though one’s eyes will dream astray,
  And lips forget to sue or sway,
  It is “enough to merely be,”
    With Pipe and Book.

  What though our modern skies be gray,
  As bards aver, I will not pray
  For “soothing Death” to succor me,
  But ask this much, O Fate, of thee,
  A little longer yet to stay
    With Pipe and Book.

RICHARD LE GALLIENNE.

A POET’S PIPE.

FROM THE FRENCH OF CHARLES BAUDELAIRE.

  A poet’s pipe am I,
  And my Abyssinian tint
  Is an unmistakable hint
  That he lays me not often by. 
  When his soul is with grief o’erworn
  I smoke like the cottage where
  They are cooking the evening fare
  For the laborer’s return.

  I enfold and cradle his soul
  In the vapors moving and blue
  That mount from my fiery mouth;
  And there is power in my bowl
  To charm his spirit and soothe,
  And heal his weariness too.
