To the United States Senate 

	by Vachel Lindsay


	[Revelation 16: Verses 16-19]


        And must the Senator from Illinois
        Be this squat thing, with blinking, half-closed eyes?
        This brazen gutter idol, reared to power
        Upon a leering pyramid of lies?

        And must the Senator from Illinois
        Be the world's proverb of successful shame,
        Dazzling all State house flies that steal and steal,
        Who, when the sad State spares them, count it fame?

        If once or twice within his new won hall
        His vote had counted for the broken men;
        If in his early days he wrought some good -
        We might a great soul's sins forgive him then.

        But must the Senator from Illinois
        Be vindicated by fat kings of gold?
        And must he be belauded by the smirched,
        The sleek, uncanny chiefs in lies grown old?

        Be warned, O wanton ones, who shielded him -
        Black wrath awaits.    You all shall eat the dust.
        You dare not say:    "To-morrow will bring peace;
        Let us make merry, and go forth in lust."

        What will you trading frogs do on a day
        When Armageddon thunders thro' the land;
        When each sad patriot rises, mad with shame,
        His ballot or his musket in his hand?

        In the distracted states from which you came
        The day is big with war hopes fierce and strange;
        Our iron Chicagos and our grimy mines
        Rumble with hate and love and solemn change.

        Too many weary men shed honest tears,
        Ground by machines that give the Senate ease.
        Too many little babes with bleeding hands
        Have heaped the fruits of empire on your knees.

        And swine within the Senate in this day,
        When all the smothering by-streets weep and wail;
        When wisdom breaks the hearts of her best sons;
        When kingly men, voting for truth, may fail: -

        These are a portent and a call to arms.
        Our protest turns into a battle cry:
        "Our shame must end, our States be free and clean;
        And in this war we choose to live and die."

The Knight in Disguise

	 by Vachel Lindsay


	[Concerning O. Henry (Sidney Porter)]

        
	"He could not forget that he was a Sidney."


        Is this Sir Philip Sidney, this loud clown,
        The darling of the glad and gaping town?

        This is that dubious hero of the press
        Whose slangy tongue and insolent address
        Were spiced to rouse on Sunday afternoon
        The man with yellow journals round him strewn.
        We laughed and dozed, then roused and read again,
        And vowed O. Henry funniest of men.
        He always worked a triple-hinged surprise
        To end the scene and make one rub his eyes.

        He comes with vaudeville, with stare and leer.
        He comes with megaphone and specious cheer.
        His troupe, too fat or short or long or lean,
        Step from the pages of the magazine
        With slapstick or sombrero or with cane:
        The rube, the cowboy or the masher vain.
        They over-act each part.    But at the height
        Of banter and of canter and delight
        The masks fall off for one queer instant there
        And show real faces:    faces full of care
        And desperate longing:    love that's hot or cold;
        And subtle thoughts, and countenances bold.
        The masks go back.    'Tis one more joke.    Laugh on!
        The goodly grown-up company is gone.

        No doubt had he occasion to address
        The brilliant court of purple-clad Queen Bess,
        He would have wrought for them the best he knew
        And led more loftily his actor-crew.
        How coolly he misquoted.    'Twas his art -
        Slave-scholar, who misquoted - from the heart.
        So when we slapped his back with friendly roar
        Aesop awaited him without the door, -
        Aesop the Greek, who made dull masters laugh
        With little tales of FOX and DOG and CALF.
        And be it said, mid these his pranks so odd
        With something nigh to chivalry he trod
        And oft the drear and driven would defend -
        The little shopgirls' knight unto the end.
        Yea, he had passed, ere we could understand
        The blade of Sidney glimmered in his hand.
        Yea, ere we knew, Sir Philip's sword was drawn
        With valiant cut and thrust, and he was gone.



Analysis

The Potato's Dance

    By Vachel Lindsay


        "Down cellar," said the cricket,
        "I saw a ball last night
        In honor of a lady
        Whose wings were pearly-white.
        The breath of bitter weather
        Had smashed the cellar pane:
        We entertained a drift of leaves
        And then of snow and rain.
        But we were dressed for winter,
        And loved to hear it blow
        In honor of the lady
        Who makes potatoes grow -
        Our guest, the Irish lady,
        The tiny Irish lady,
        The fairy Irish lady
        That makes potatoes grow.

        "Potatoes were the waiters,
        Potatoes were the band,
        Potatoes were the dancers
        Kicking up the sand:
        Their legs were old burnt matches,
        Their arms were just the same,
        They jigged and whirled and scrambled
        In honor of the dame:
        The noble Irish lady
        Who makes potatoes dance,
        The witty Irish lady,
        The saucy Irish lady,
        The laughing Irish lady
        Who makes potatoes prance.

        "There was just one sweet potato.
        He was golden-brown and slim:
        The lady loved his figure.
        She danced all night with him.
        Alas, he wasn't Irish.
        So when she flew away,
        They threw him in the coal-bin
        And there he is to-day,
        Where they cannot hear his sighs -
        His weeping for the lady,
        The beauteous Irish lady,
        The radiant Irish lady
        Who gives potatoes eyes."



Analysis

Vachel Lindsay's "The Potato's Dance" whimsically anthropomorphizes potatoes, portraying them as lively, dancing beings. Through vivid imagery and rhythmic language, Lindsay captures the playful spirit of a seemingly mundane vegetable, transforming it into a symbol of joy and vitality. The poem reflects Lindsay's signature style, blending humor with a celebration of life's simple pleasures, highlighting the unexpected beauty found in everyday objects.

The Flower of Mending

    By Vachel Lindsay


(To Eudora, after I had had certain dire adventures.)



     When Dragon-fly would fix his wings,
     When Snail would patch his house,
     When moths have marred the overcoat
     Of tender Mister Mouse,

     The pretty creatures go with haste
     To the sunlit blue-grass hills
     Where the Flower of Mending yields the wax
     And webs to help their ills.

     The hour the coats are waxed and webbed
     They fall into a dream,
     And when they wake the ragged robes
     Are joined without a seam.

     My heart is but a dragon-fly,
     My heart is but a mouse,
     My heart is but a haughty snail
     In a little stony house.

     Your hand was honey-comb to heal,
     Your voice a web to bind.
     You were a Mending Flower to me
     To cure my heart and mind.



Analysis

"The Flower of Mending" by Vachel Lindsay explores themes of healing and renewal through the metaphor of a mystical flower that can mend broken hearts and lives. The poem conveys hope and the possibility of restoration, suggesting that even the most damaged parts of ourselves can find repair. Lindsay's lyrical language and vivid imagery underscore the transformative power of this symbolic flower, offering solace and optimism amidst life's hardships.

The Haughty Snail-king 

    By Vachel Lindsay


(Moon Poems for the Children/Fairy-tales for the Children)
             (What Uncle William told the Children)


         Twelve snails went walking after night.
         They'd creep an inch or so,
         Then stop and bug their eyes
         And blow.
         Some folks... are... deadly... slow.
         Twelve snails went walking yestereve,
         Led by their fat old king.
         They were so dull their princeling had
         No sceptre, robe or ring -
         Only a paper cap to wear
         When nightly journeying.

         This king-snail said:    "I feel a thought
         Within....    It blossoms soon....
         O little courtiers of mine,...
         I crave a pretty boon....
         Oh, yes... (High thoughts with effort come
         And well-bred snails are ALMOST dumb.)
         "I wish I had a yellow crown
         As glistering... as... the moon."



Analysis

In "The Haughty Snail-king," Vachel Lindsay uses whimsical imagery and rhythm to critique arrogance and complacency. The snail-king's slow pace and grandiose self-importance contrast with the dynamic world around him, highlighting the folly of self-centeredness. Lindsay's playful tone and imaginative language invite readers to reflect on humility and the consequences of isolation from broader societal engagement. The poem ultimately underscores the importance of adaptability and connection in a vibrant, ever-changing world.

Star of My Heart

    By Vachel Lindsay


        Star of my heart, I follow from afar.
        Sweet Love on high, lead on where shepherds are,
        Where Time is not, and only dreamers are.
        Star from of old, the Magi-Kings are dead
        And a foolish Saxon seeks the manger-bed.
        O lead me to Jehovah's child
        Across this dreamland lone and wild,
        Then will I speak this prayer unsaid,
        And kiss his little haloed head -
        "My star and I, we love thee, little child."

        Except the Christ be born again to-night
        In dreams of all men, saints and sons of shame,
        The world will never see his kingdom bright.
        Stars of all hearts, lead onward thro' the night
        Past death-black deserts, doubts without a name,
        Past hills of pain and mountains of new sin
        To that far sky where mystic births begin,
        Where dreaming ears the angel-song shall win.
        Our Christmas shall be rare at dawning there,
        And each shall find his brother fair,
        Like a little child within:
        All hearts of the earth shall find new birth
        And wake, no more to sin.



Analysis

"Star of My Heart" by Vachel Lindsay is a poignant exploration of longing and unfulfilled dreams. The poem uses celestial imagery to convey the speaker's deep yearning for an unattainable love. Lindsay’s lyrical style and vivid metaphors highlight the intensity of the speaker's emotions, capturing a sense of melancholy and admiration. The star symbolizes a guiding light and a distant, ethereal ideal, reflecting the speaker's unattainable aspirations and deep-seated desires.

A Curse for Kings

    By Vachel Lindsay


         A curse upon each king who leads his state,
         No matter what his plea, to this foul game,
         And may it end his wicked dynasty,
         And may he die in exile and black shame.

         If there is vengeance in the Heaven of Heavens,
         What punishment could Heaven devise for these
         Who fill the rivers of the world with dead,
         And turn their murderers loose on all the seas!

         Put back the clock of time a thousand years,
         And make our Europe, once the world's proud Queen,
         A shrieking strumpet, furious fratricide,
         Eater of entrails, wallowing obscene

         In pits where millions foam and rave and bark,
         Mad dogs and idiots, thrice drunk with strife;
         While Science towers above; - a witch, red-winged:
         Science we looked to for the light of life.

         Curse me the men who make and sell iron ships,
         Who walk the floor in thought, that they may find
         Each powder prompt, each steel with fearful edge,
         Each deadliest device against mankind.

         Curse me the sleek lords with their plumes and spurs,
         May Heaven give their land to peasant spades,
         Give them the brand of Cain, for their pride's sake,
         And felon's stripes for medals and for braids.

         Curse me the fiddling, twiddling diplomats,
         Haggling here, plotting and hatching there,
         Who make the kind world but their game of cards,
         Till millions die at turning of a hair.

         What punishment will Heaven devise for these
         Who win by others' sweat and hardihood,
         Who make men into stinking vultures' meat,
         Saying to evil still "Be thou my good"?

         Ah, he who starts a million souls toward death
         Should burn in utmost hell a million years!
        - Mothers of men go on the destined wrack
         To give them life, with anguish and with tears: -

         Are all those childbed sorrows sneered away?
         Yea, fools laugh at the humble christenings,
         And cradle-joys are mocked of the fat lords:
         These mothers' sons made dead men for the Kings!

         All in the name of this or that grim flag,
         No angel-flags in all the rag-array -
         Banners the demons love, and all Hell sings
         And plays wild harps.    Those flags march forth to-day!




Analysis

Vachel Lindsay's poem "A Curse for Kings" critiques rulers who exploit their power for greed and oppression, forsaking their duty to protect and nurture their people.

Foreign Missions in Battle Array

    By Vachel Lindsay


        An endless line of splendor,
        These troops with heaven for home,
        With creeds they go from Scotland,
        With incense go from Rome.
        These, in the name of Jesus,
        Against the dark gods stand,
        They gird the earth with valor,
        They heed their King's command.

        Onward the line advances,
        Shaking the hills with power,
        Slaying the hidden demons,
        The lions that devour.
        No bloodshed in the wrestling, -
        But souls new-born arise -
        The nations growing kinder,
        The child-hearts growing wise.

        What is the final ending?
        The issue, can we know?
        Will Christ outlive Mohammed?
        Will Kali's altar go?
        This is our faith tremendous, -
        Our wild hope, who shall scorn, -
        That in the name of Jesus
        The world shall be reborn!





Analysis

"Foreign Missions in Battle Array" by Vachel Lindsay critiques the zealous spread of Western Christianity through imperialism. Using vivid, martial imagery, Lindsay juxtaposes the spiritual intent of missionaries with the aggressive, militaristic methods employed. The poem highlights the irony of preaching peace and salvation while imposing cultural dominance. Lindsay's tone is both critical and cautionary, urging reflection on the true cost and ethical implications of such proselytizing endeavors.

How I Walked Alone in the Jungles of Heaven

    By Vachel Lindsay


     Oh, once I walked in Heaven, all alone
     Upon the sacred cliffs above the sky.
     God and the angels, and the gleaming saints
     Had journeyed out into the stars to die.

     They had gone forth to win far citizens,
     Bought at great price, bring happiness for all:
     By such a harvest make a holier town
     And put new life within old Zion's wall.

     Each chose a far-off planet for his home,
     Speaking of love and mercy, truth and right,
     Envied and cursed, thorn-crowned and scourged in time,
     Each tasted death on his appointed night.

     Then resurrection day from sphere to sphere
     Sped on, with all the POWERS arisen again,
     While with them came in clouds recruited hosts
     Of sun-born strangers and of earth-born men.

     And on that day gray prophet saints went down
     And poured atoning blood upon the deep,
     Till every warrior of old Hell flew free
     And all the torture fires were laid asleep.

     And Hell's lost company I saw return
     Clear-eyed, with plumes of white, the demons bold
     Climbed with the angels now on Jacob's stair,
     And built a better Zion than the old.

            .    .    .    .    .

     And yet I walked alone on azure cliffs
     A lifetime long, and loved each untrimmed vine:
     The rotted harps, the swords of rusted gold,
     The jungles of all Heaven then were mine.

     Oh mesas and throne-mountains that I found!
     Oh strange and shaking thoughts that touched me there,
     Ere I beheld the bright returning wings
     That came to spoil my secret, silent lair!






Analysis

Vachel Lindsay's "How I Walked Alone in the Jungles of Heaven" depicts a solitary journey through an ethereal, divine landscape, blending natural and spiritual imagery.
