Abstract:
These days, I've stopped counting how many times I've been approached to help implement feature X because a customer thinks/was told it provides 24x7 for a DB/instance. These decisions often lead to more downtime and less uptme if the technology choice was not right or cannot be administered by the current staff. The secret sauce is not what gets implemented but understanding everything behind the scenes that influences the final architecture based on your actual requirements. It’s less about technology and more about understanding what it will take to keep your business going even when things seems like they are crumbling down around you. This session will cover how to approach achieving business continuity with the right amount of uptime.
Speaker(s): Allan Hirt,
Abstract:
SQL Server 2012 introduces the new Analysis Services Tabular Mode. BI Semantic Model (BISM) Tabular is in-memory database in Analysis Services using state-of-the-art compression algorithms. BI Semantic Models can be developed in either Visual Studio or in Excel using the SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot add-in. In this session, I will show you how to build a complete solution in Tabular and creating one from the ground up, deploy a rich semantic model and discover a simpler method for analyzing business data. You also learn the basics of DAX language and how to manage role based security and partitioning in a Tabular model. You will be able to create your BISM Tabular models, and gain a solid background to enable you starting your next project.
Speaker(s): Ayad Shammout,
Abstract:
With the release of SSAS 2012 Microsoft has introduced a new BI storage engine. In addition to the traditional OLAP engine you now have the option to build your BI models on top of the new Vertipaq engine. To use the new Vertipaq engine you build a Tabular data model. A new query language DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) is used to query the data, create calculations, measures, and KPI’s.This session is designed to introduce you to the process of building a tabular model in SQL Server Data Tools (BIDS rebranded). We will import data from a SQL Server relational database into a tabular model project and create relationships between the tables. We will use DAX to create and manage calculations, measures, and Key Performance Indicators
Speaker(s): Dan Clark,
Abstract:
This 500 level session will focus on using undocumented statements and trace flags to get insight into how the query optimizer works and show you which operations it performs during query optimization. I will use these undocumented features to explain what the query optimizer does from the moment a query is submitted to SQL Server until an execution plan is generated including operations like parsing, binding, simplification, trivial plan, and full optimization. Concepts like transformation rules, the memo structure, how the query optimizer generates possible alternative execution plans, and how the best alternative is chosen based on those costs will be explained as well.
Speaker(s): Benjamin Nevarez,
Abstract:
As cloud computing becomes more popular and cloud-based solutions the norm rather than the fringe, the need to efficiently migrate your database is crucial. This demo-filled session will discuss the tips and tricks, methods and strategies for migrating your on-premises SQL Server databases to Windows Azure SQL Database, AKA SQL Azure. Focusing primarily on SQL Server Data Tools and the DAC Framework, this session will focus on how these tools can make you a kung-fu migration master.
Speaker(s): Scott Klein,
Abstract:
SQL Server 2012: Efficient and effective database design is so important that leaving it solely to the DBAs is simply not a solution. We as developers will more than likely have to create applications to access the data stores and as such must ensure that all application related considerations are taken into account within the database design.In this session, (aimed at software developers) we shall be touching upon several concepts of special importance to the developer. These include database development "patterns and anti-patterns", final proofing of design and creating versatile deployment scripts that can and will be utilized in future endeavors.
Speaker(s): Steve Simon,
Abstract:
Have you heard about all of the new Availability Group features in SQL 2012? Thinking about implementing a DR solution, but don't know where to start? In this session we will walk through the process of creating a disaster recovery plan for your organization, the HA and DR options within SQL Server, and finally a demonstration of the new Availability Groups feature in SQL Server 2012 and see them in practice.
Speaker(s): Joseph D'Antoni,
Abstract:
Self-service BI is usually an independent activity. But when individuals discover interesting information that they want to share, they need a centralized location to do that. When people work together, new insights are possible, and that’s what collaboration is all about. As more people see the benefits of the solution, they become more likely to use it. As individual products, SQL Server 2008 R2, SharePoint 2010, and Excel 2010 expand your options for enabling BI in your organization, but collectively they create a solid platform for collaborative BI. Knowing which tool to use for which job can be tricky. Come to this session to learn how to use these tools to foster collaboration.
Speaker(s): Stacia Varga,
Abstract:
Transform traditional database development by using SQL Server Data Tools - a declarative, model-based experience that supports both online and offline (project-based) database development.
Speaker(s): Andy Roberts,
Abstract:
The more you know about SQL Server the more you understand how it works.  At the 10,000 foot view we know what Databases, Tables, and Columns are. But what makes up those Databases, Tables, and Columns. What are Records, Pages, Extents, and Allocation Units? What are Full, Simple, and Bulk-Logged Recovery? What are the differences between Full, Transaction Log, Differential, or Filegroup backups? This is an introduction to these concepts. In this session you will learn about the internal Structure, Recovery Modes, and Backups and be better prepared to for Future Learning and Managing SQL!
Speaker(s): Bradley Ball,
Abstract:
As IT personnel, we tend to get boxed-in, stranded on our own little island. We fail to make people aware of our activities, both within our own organization and in our wider professional circles. Just like a shipwrecked captain waiting for the rescue boat on a desert island, if you fail to communicate, your career will be stuck with no possibility of progression. This presentation will show you how to leverage networking and self-marketing techniques that will allow you to set sail off the island and into new opportunities.
Speaker(s): Paresh Motiwala,
Abstract:
A practical way to derive business value from big data is to microtarget customers, but where do you begin? In this session, we examine real data from one of the nation's largest cable TV providers and combine it with data from the 2010 census and other data sources. In addition, we demonstrate how to use Hadoop and the Microsoft BI stack with this integrated data to develop powerful analytics quickly and easily. We demystify the process of working with big data by showing you first how to gather and load the data into Hadoop, and then how to extract a subset of that data and apply data visualization to reveal insightful patterns that can be used to connect more effectively with customers.
Speaker(s): Joseph D'Antoni,
Abstract:
Many corporations are composed of small divisions located in countries throughout the world. While you might be the lead DBA for your corporation, there are several other employees who have the keys to the kingdom.

Speaker(s): Brandon Leach,
Abstract:
SQL Server Management Studio is a complex tool which database professionals use every day. Yet many people are not aware of some 'hidden' features in SSMS. During the session I will describe some of them using SSMS 2012. A few of them should also work in earlier versions of SSMS too.
Speaker(s): Varsham Papikian,
Abstract:
Most T-SQL developers know that the APPLY operator can be used to invoke a table valued function. But did you know that it can also be used to join to derived data sets, return multiple columns from a sub-query, shred XML, create working columns for use with the WHERE and GROUP BY clauses, and replace the UNPIVOT operator? If not, then why not take your skills to the next level, and come see each use case in action, using real-world examples. You'll leave the session with thorough understanding of the full potential of this versatile operator, as well as a few new tricks up your T-SQL sleeves.
Speaker(s): Christina Leo,
Abstract:
With replication being a source for many data warehouse systems, this session will cover aspects regarding your data and business that should drive design decisions when architecting a replication topology. Discussed will be design decisions for snapshot, transactional, and merge replication. Also discussed will be agent profiles and optimizations for replication. What type of replication to use to solve business needs will also be covered.
Speaker(s): Chad Churchwell,

Speaker(s): Mike Hillwig,
Abstract:
This presentation introduces the upgraded features of SQL Server 2012 Master Data Services (MDS) and the new service, SQL Server 2012 Data Quality Services (DQS). MDS is a solution for master data management. First released in SQL Server 2008 R2, this upgraded version includes many new features and enhancements, including a new web interface developed with Silverlight, an Excel add-in to support simplified model creation and easier data updates and management. DQS is a new knowledge-driven data cleansing solution, and it supports building knowledge bases that provide correction and de-duplication of data.
Speaker(s): Peter Myers,
Abstract:
The spectrum of Contact Data Quality covers numerous interrelated aspects such as parsing, standardization, correction, verification, enrichment and matching. But one crucial concept that is quite commonly overlooked in the field of data quality is the implementation of an intelligent and automatable process for the creation of the “golden record” through the consolidation of data within the matching process; a technique also known as Survivorship.
Speaker(s): Tim Sidor,
Abstract:
SQL Server 2012: Over the past 18 months many financial and portfolio management firms have been severely ‘hit’ by the depressed markets and poor economic conditions.This lead to risk exposure and considerable client liability.We like many firms have gone through the 'teething process'with regards to data mining model predictions and have now taken our systems from the prototype stage to our “shop floor” and are getting the 'good word' out to management via SQL Server Reporting Services.
Speaker(s): Steve Simon,
Abstract:
The word cluster is used a lot in the IT world, especially when it comes to SQL Server. We have clustered instances of SQL Server, availability groups that require Windows failover clustering ... but how does a DBA make sense of it all? Wonder no more! This session will explain all the forms of clustering as they relate to SQL Server (including how Windows fits into the picture) and give you some of the top keys to success whether you are using an older version of Windows and SQL Server, or you're looking to deploy the latest and greatest.
Speaker(s): Allan Hirt,
Abstract:
You've heard often enough that you need to look at execution plans to understand what's going on with a query. But what are you supposed to look at? This session answers that question, providing a step-by-step set of considerations for evaluating your execution plans. We'll look at the aspects of an execution plan that should be immediately checked, why they should be checked, and provide some guidance for what to do about what you find. You'll be able to apply this information to your SQL Server 2012 systems as well as older versions of SQL Server.
Speaker(s): Grant Fritchey,
Abstract:
Session Description: A database is a very resource intensive by its very nature and one of the most resource intensive applications you will ever virtualize. If it is not done correctly you will not be successful. This presentation will teach the you how to do it right. We will discuss why you virtualize a database, using the right hypervisor, installation, Architecting for performance, the storage layer, the processor, Memory considerations, the network layer. This presentation focuses on VMware but much of the information is relevant in any virtualized environment.
Speaker(s): Michael Corey,
Abstract:
The term "big data" dominates the headlines in technology news these days, but what is the fuss really all about? What are the implications for traditional data warehousing and reporting? What kind of technology and skill sets do you need to successfully implement to a big data strategy? Come to this session for a gentle, business-focused introduction to big data and leave with some inspiration and practical steps for tackling your first big data project.
Speaker(s): Stacia Varga,
Abstract:
Parameter sniffing is a misunderstood issue on SQL Server. Most of the time, parameter sniffing is helping performance on your servers. But sometimes, circumstances change, and what was helping you is now hurting you – bad. In this session, we’ll gain an understanding of what exactly parameter sniffing is and why it’s usually so helpful. Then we’ll explore how parameter sniffing can go wrong and look at seven different ways you can deal with it when it does. You’ll take away a wealth of knowledge that will help you identify and resolve bad parameter sniffing in your own environment.
Speaker(s): Grant Fritchey,
Abstract:
PowerShell is a command-line scripting language primarily designed for system administration development. Unlike VBScript or DOS batch files, PowerShell is built upon the .NET Platform which makes it customizable and extensible. This introductory session will show the PowerShell language constructs scripts and how it can be used for SQL Server administration (using SMO WMI providers) and development (ADO.Net OLEDB providers).
Speaker(s): SB Chatterjee,
Abstract:
This session will show you how a better understanding of how the Query Optimizer works can help you to improve the performance of your queries. I will show you the top 10 Query Optimizer topics that can give you the most benefit by focusing both on concepts and practical solutions. Several areas of the query processor will be covered, everything from troubleshooting query performance problems and identifying what information the Query Optimizer needs to do a better job to the extreme cases where, because of the its limitations, the Query Optimizer may not give you a good plan and you may need to take a different approach.
Speaker(s): Benjamin Nevarez,
Abstract:
Great database performance starts with great database design. During the database design process it is important to select your datatypes wisely. The wrong choices will often lead to wasted space, increased response times, and less stability. Additionally you run the risk of having your design not scale as well as it should. Leave this session armed with the knowledge you need to help your databases perform at their peak efficiency.
Speaker(s): Thomas LaRock,
Abstract:
In this session I will focus on how you can use the new features of Office 2013 such as Power View in Excel. How do you connect to multiple data models? How can you layout your data on a Map? How can you drill down to the details? And much more.

ELEGY
Clear and gentle stream,
Known and loved so long,
That hast heard the song
And the idle dream
Of my boyish day;
While I once again
Down thy margin stray,
In the selfsame strain
Still my voice is spent,
With my old lament,
And my idle dream,
Clear and gentle stream!
Where my old seat was
Here again I sit,
Where the long boughs knit
Over stream and graís
Thick translucent eaves:
Where back eddies play
2
Shipwreck with the leaves,
And the proud swans stray,
Sailing one by one
Out of stream and sun,
And the fish lie cool
In their chosen pool.
Many an afternoon
Of the summer day
Dreaming here I lay;
And I know how soon
Idly at its hour
First the deep bell hums
From the minster tower,
And then evening comes,
Creeping up the glade,
With her lengthening shade,
And the tardy boon
Of her brightening moon.
Clear and gentle stream,
Ere again I go
Where thou dost not flow,
Well does it beseem
Thee to hear again
Once my youthful song,
3
That familiar strain
Silent now so long:
Be as I content
With my old lament,
And my idle dream,
Clear and gentle stream!
4
Dear lady, when thou frownest,
And my true love despisest,
And all thy vows disownest
That sealed my venture wisest;
I think thy pride’s displeasure
Neglects a matchless treasure
Exceeding price and measure.
But when again thou smilest,
And love for love returnest,
And fear with joy beguilest,
And takest truth in earnest;
Then, though I most adore thee,
The sum of my love for thee
Seems poor, scant and unworthy.
5
Poor withered rose and dry,
Skeleton of a rose,
Risen to testify
To love’s sad close:
Treasured for love’s sweet sake,
That of joy past
Thou might’st again awake
Memory at last:
Yet is thy perfume sweet,
Thy petals red
Yet tell of summer heat,
And the gay bed:
Yet yet recall the glow
Of the gazing sun,
When at thy bush we two
Joined hands in one.
6But, rose, thou hast not seen,
Thou hast not wept
The change that passed between
Whilst thou hast slept.
To me thou seemest yet
The dead dream’s thrall:
While I live and forget
Dream, truth and all.
Thou art more fresh than I,
Rose, sweet and red:
Salt on my pale cheeks lie
The tears I shed.
7
I found to-day out walking
The flower my love loves best.
What, when I stooped to pluck it,
Could dare my hand arrest?
Was it a snake lay curling
About the root’s thick crown?
Or did some hidden bramble
Tear my hand reaching down?
There was no snake uncurling,
And no thorn wounded me;
’Twas my heart checked me, sighing
She is beyond the sea.
8
Will Love again awake,
That lies asleep so long?
O hush! ye tongues that shake
The drowsy night with song.
It is a lady fair
Whom once he deigned to praise,
That at the door doth dare
Her sad complaint to raise.
She must be fair of face,
As bold in heart she seems,
If she would match her grace
With the delight of dreams.
Her beauty would surprise
Gazers on Autumn eves,
Who watched the broad moon rise
Upon the scattered sheaves.
9O sweet must be the voice
He shall descend to hear,
Who doth in Heaven rejoice
His most enchanted ear.
The smile, that rests to play
Upon her lip, foretells
What musical array
Tricks her sweet syllables.
And yet her smiles have danced
In vain, if her discourse
Win not the soul entranced
In divine intercourse.
She will encounter all
This trial without shame,
Her eyes men Beauty call,
And Wisdom is her name.
Throw back the portals then,
Ye guards, your watch that keep,
Love will awake again
That lay so long asleep.
10
A PASSER BY
Whither, O splendid ship, thy white sails crowding,
Leaning across the bosom of the urgent West,
That fearest nor sea rising, nor sky clouding,
Whither away, fair rover, and what thy quest?
Ah! soon, when Winter has all our vales opprest,
When skies are cold and misty, and hail is hurling,
Wilt thou glide on the blue Pacific, or rest
In a summer haven asleep, thy white sails furling.
I there before thee, in the country so well thou knowest,
Already arrived am inhaling the odorous air:
I watch thee enter unerringly where thou goest,
And anchor queen of the strange shipping there,
Thy sails for awning spread, thy masts bare:
Nor is aught from the foaming reef to the snowcapped, grandest
Peak, that is over the feathery palms more fair
Than thou, so upright, so stately, and still thou standest.
11And yet, O splendid ship, unhailed and nameless,
I know not if, aiming a fancy, I rightly divine
That thou hast a purpose joyful, a courage blameless,
Thy port assured in a happier land than mine.
But for all I have given thee, beauty enough is thine,
As thou, aslant with trim tackle and shrouding,
From the proud nostril curve of a prow’s line
In the offing scatterest foam, thy white sails crowding.
12
LATE SPRING EVENING
I saw the Virgin-mother clad in green,
Walking the sprinkled meadows at sundown;
While yet the moon’s cold flame was hung between
The day and night, above the dusky town:
I saw her brighter than the Western gold,
Whereto she faced in splendour to behold.
Her dress was greener than the tenderest leaf
That trembled in the sunset glare aglow:
Herself more delicate than is the brief,
Pink apple-blossom, that May showers lay low,
And more delicious than ’s the earliest streak
The blushing rose shows of her crimson cheek.
With jealous grace her idle ears to please,
A music entered, making passion fain:
Three nightingales sat singing in the trees,
And praised the Goddess for the fallen rain;
Which yet their unseen motions did arouse,
Or parting Zephyrs shook out from the boughs.
13And o’er the treetops, scattered in mid air,
The exhausted clouds, laden with crimson light,
Floated, or seemed to sleep; and, highest there,
One planet broke the lingering ranks of night;
Daring day’s company, so he might spy
The Virgin-queen once with his watchful eye.
And when I saw her, then I worshipped her,
And said,—O bounteous Spring, O beauteous Spring,
Mother of all my years, thou who dost stir
My heart to adore thee and my tongue to sing,
Flower of my fruit, of my heart’s blood the fire,
Of all my satisfaction the desire!
How art thou every year more beautiful,
Younger for all the winters thou hast cast:
And I, for all my love grows, grow more dull,
Decaying with each season overpast!
In vain to teach him love must man employ thee,
The more he learns the less he can enjoy thee.
14
WOOING
I know not how I came,
New on my knightly journey,
To win the fairest dame
That graced my maiden tourney.

Ah! ne’er had I my mind
With such high hope delighted,
Had she not first inclined,
And with her eyes invited.
15But never doubt I knew,
Having their glance to cheer me,
Until the day joy grew
Too great, too sure, too near me.
When hope a fear became,
And passion, grown too tender,
Now trembled at the shame
Of a despised surrender;
And where my love at first
Saw kindness in her smiling,
I read her pride, and cursed
The arts of her beguiling.

But no! Fond heart distrust,
Cried Wisdom, and consider:
Go free, since go thou must,
And so farewell I bid her.
And brisk upon my way
I smote the stroke to sever,
And should have lost that day
My life’s delight for ever;
But when I saw her start
And turn aside and tremble;—
Ah! she was true, her heart
I knew did not dissemble.
17
There is a hill beside the silver Thames,
Shady with birch and beech and odorous pine:
And brilliant underfoot with thousand gems
Steeply the thickets to his floods decline.

Swift from the sweltering pasturage he flows:
His stream, alert to seek the pleasant shade,
Pictures his gentle purpose, as he goes
Straight to the caverned pool his toil has made.
His winter floods lay bare
The stout roots in the air:
His summer streams are cool, when they have played
Among their fibrous hair.
18A rushy island guards the sacred bower,
And hides it from the meadow, where in peace
The lazy cows wrench many a scented flower,
Robbing the golden market of the bees:
And laden barges float
By banks of myosote;
And scented flags and golden flower-de-lys
Delay the loitering boat.
And on this side the island, where the pool
Eddies away, are tangled mass on mass
The water-weeds, that net the fishes cool
And scarce allow a narrow stream to pass;
Where spreading crowfoot mars
The drowning nenuphars,
Waving the tassels of her silken grass
Below her silver stars.
But in the purple pool there nothing grows,
Not the white water-lily spoked with gold;
Though best she loves the hollows, and well knows
On quiet streams her broad shields to unfold:
Yet should her roots but try
Within these deeps to lie,
Not her long reaching stalk could ever hold
Her waxen head so high.
19Sometimes an angler comes, and drops his hook
Within its hidden depths, and ’gainst a tree
Leaning his rod, reads in some pleasant book,
Forgetting soon his pride of fishery;
And dreams, or falls asleep,
While curious fishes peep
About his nibbled bait, or scornfully
Dart off and rise and leap.
And sometimes by the pathway through the trees
An aged dame at evening trudges home:
And merry voices greet her, and she sees
Her dear grandchildren, down the hill that come
To meet her, and to bear
Her basket home with care,
Divining that, of all her treasures, some
Will be for them to share.
Else, he that wishes solitude is safe,
Whether he bathe at morning in the stream:
Or lead his love there when the hot hours chafe
The meadows, busy with a blurring steam;
Or watch, as fades the light,
The gibbous moon grow bright,
Until her magic rays dance in a dream,
And glorify the night.
20Where is this bower beside the silver Thames?
O pool and flowery thickets, hear my vow!
O trees of freshest foliage and straight stems,
No sharer of my secret I allow:
Lest ere I come the while
Strange feet your shades defile;
Or lest the burly oarsman turn his prow
Within your guardian isle.
21
SPRING
INVITATION TO THE COUNTRY
Again with pleasant green
Has Spring renewed the wood,
And where the bare trunks stood
Are leafy arbours seen;
And back on budding boughs
Come birds, to court and pair,
Whose rival amorous vows
Amaze the scented air.
The streams unbound anew
Refill their mossy banks,
The forward season pranks
With flowers of varied hue:
And scattered down the meads
From hour to hour unfold
A thousand buds and beads
In stars and cups of gold.
22Now hear, and see, and note,
The farms are all astir,
And every labourer
Has doffed his winter coat;
And how with specks of white
They dot the brown hillside,
Or jaunt and sing outright
As by their teams they stride.
They sing to feel the Sun
Regain his wanton strength;
To know the year at length
Rewards their labour done;
To see the rootless stake
They set bare in the ground,
Burst into leaf, and shake
Its grateful scent around.
Ah now an evil lot
Is his who toils for gain,
Where crowded chimneys stain
The heavens his choice forgot;
’Tis on the blighted trees
That deck his garden dim,
And in the tainted breeze
That sweet spring comes to him.
23Far rather would I choose
The grace of brutes that bask,
Than in an eager task,
My inborn honour lose:
Would rather far enjoy
The body, than invent
A duty, to destroy
The ease which nature sent;
And country life I praise
And lead, because I find
The philosophic mind
Can take no middle ways;
She will not leave her love
To mix with men, her art
Is all to strive above
The crowd, or stand apart.
Thrice happy he, the rare
Prometheus, who can play
With hidden things, and lay
New realms of nature bare:
Whose venturous step has trod
Hell underfoot, and won
A crown from man and God
For all that he has done.—
24That highest gift of all,
Since crabbèd fate did flood
My heart with sluggish blood,
I look not mine to call;
But, like a truant freed,
Fly to the woods, and claim
A pleasure for the deed
Of my inglorious name.
And am content, denied
The best, in choosing right;
For Nature can delight
Fancies unoccupied
With ecstasies so sweet
As none can even guess,
Who walk not with the feet
Of joy in idleness.
Then leave your joyless ways,
My friend, my joys to see.
The day you come shall be
The choice of chosen days:
You shall be lost, and learn
New being, and forget
The world, till your return
Shall bring your first regret.
25
SPRING
REPLY
Behold! the radiant Spring,
In splendour decked anew,
Down from her heaven of blue
Returns on sunlit wing:
The zephyrs of her train
In fleecy clouds disport,
And birds to greet her reign
Summon their sylvan court.
For even in street and square
Her tardy trees relent,
As some far-travell’d scent
Kindles the morning air;
And forth their buds provoke,
Forgetting winter brown,
And all the mire and smoke
That wrapped the dingy town.
26Now he that loves indeed
His pleasure must awake,
Lest any pleasure take
Its flight, and he not heed;
For of his few short years
Another now invites
His hungry soul, and cheers
His life with new delights.
And who loves Nature more
Than he, whose painful art
Has taught and skilled his heart
To read her skill and lore?
Whose spirit leaps more high,
Plucking the pale primrose,
Than his whose feet must fly
The pasture where it grows?
One long in city pent
Forgets, or must complain:
But think not I can stain
My heaven with discontent;
Nor wallow with that sad,
Backsliding herd, who cry
That Truth must make man bad,
And pleasure is a lie.
27Rather while Reason lives
To mark me from the beast,
I’ll teach her serve at least
To heal the wound she gives:
Nor need she strain her powers
Beyond a common flight,
To make the passing hours
Happy from morn till night.
Since health our toil rewards,
And strength is labour’s prize,
I hate not, nor despise
The work my lot accords;
Nor fret with fears unkind
The tender joys, that bless
My hard-won peace of mind,
In hours of idleness.

Or deep in wintertide
When winds without make moan,
I love my own fireside
Not least when most alone.
28Then oft I turn the page
In which our country’s name,
Spoiling the Greek of fame,
Shall sound in every age:
Or some Terentian play
Renew, whose excellent
Adjusted folds betray
How once Menander went.
Or if grave study suit
The yet unwearied brain,
Plato can teach again,
And Socrates dispute;
Till fancy in a dream
Confront their souls with mine,
Crowning the mind supreme,
And her delights divine.
While pleasure yet can be
Pleasant, and fancy sweet,
I bid all care retreat
From my philosophy;
Which, when I come to try
Your simpler life, will find,
I doubt not, joys to vie
With those I leave behind.
29
I have loved flowers that fade,
Within whose magic tents
Rich hues have marriage made
With sweet unmemoried scents:
A honeymoon delight,—
A joy of love at sight,
That ages in an hour:—
My song be like a flower!
I have loved airs, that die
Before their charm is writ
Upon the liquid sky
Trembling to welcome it.
Notes, that with pulse of fire
Proclaim the spirit’s desire,
Then die, and are nowhere:—
My song be like an air!

Fly with delight, fly hence!
’Twas thine love’s tender sense
To feast, now on thy bier
Beauty shall shed a tear.
30
Wherefore to-night so full of care,
My soul, revolving hopeless strife,
Pointing at hindrance, and the bare
Painful escapes of fitful life?
Shaping the doom that may befall
By precedent of terror past:
By love dishonoured, and the call
Of friendship slighted at the last?
By treasured names, the little store
That memory out of wreck could save
Of loving hearts, that gone before
Call their old comrade to the grave?
O soul be patient: thou shalt find
A little matter mend all this;
Some strain of music to thy mind,
Some praise for skill not spent amiss.
31Again shall pleasure overflow
Thy cup with sweetness, thou shalt taste
Nothing but sweetness, and shalt grow
Half sad for sweetness run to waste.
O happy life! I hear thee sing,
O rare delight of mortal stuff!
I praise my days for all they bring,
Yet are they only not enough.
32
Thou didst delight my eyes:
Yet who am I? nor first
Nor last nor best that durst
Once dream of thee for prize;
Nor this the only time
Thou shalt set love to rhyme.

For what wert thou to me?
How shall I say? The moon,
That poured her midnight noon
Upon his wrecking sea;—
A sail, that for a day
Has cheered the castaway.
33
When men were all asleep the snow came flying,
In large white flakes falling on the city brown,
Stealthily and perpetually settling and loosely lying,
Hushing the latest traffic of the drowsy town;
Deadening, muffling, stifling its murmurs failing;
Lazily and incessantly floating down and down:
Silently sifting and veiling road, roof and railing;
Hiding difference, making unevenness even,
Into angles and crevices softly drifting and failing.
All night it fell, and when full inches seven
It lay in the depth of its uncompacted lightness,
Its clouds blew off from a high and frosty heaven;
And all woke earlier for the unaccustomed brightness
Of the winter dawning, the strange unheavenly glare:
The eye marvelled—marvelled at the dazzling whiteness;
The ear hearkened to the stillness of the solemn air;
No sound of wheel rumbling nor of foot falling,
And the busy morning cries came thin and spare.
34Then boys I heard, as they went to school, calling,
They gathered up the crystal manna to freeze
Their tongues with tasting, their hands with snow-balling;
Or rioted in a drift, plunging up to the knees;
Or peering up from under the white-mossed wonder,
“O look at the trees!” they cried, “O look at the trees!”
With lessened load a few carts creak and blunder,
Following along the white deserted way,
A country company long dispersed asunder:
When now already the sun, in pale display
Standing by Paul’s high dome, spread forth below
His sparkling beams, and awoke the stir of the day.
For now doors open and war is waged with the snow;
And trains of sombre men, past tale of number,
Tread long brown paths as towards their toil they go:
But even for them no cares awhile encumber
Their minds diverted; the daily word unspoken,
The daily thoughts of labour and sorrow slumber
At the sight of the beauty that greets them, for the charm they have broken.
35
I stand on the cliff and watch the veiled sun paling
A silver field afar in the mournful sea,
The scourge of the surf, and plaintive gulls sailing
At ease on the gale that smites the shuddering lea:
Whose smile severe and chaste
June never hath stirred to vanity, nor age defaced.
In lofty thought strive, O spirit, for ever:
In courage and strength pursue thine own endeavour.
Ah! if it were only for thee, thou restless ocean
Of waves that follow and roar, the sweep of the tides;
Were’t only for thee, impetuous wind, whose motion
Precipitate all o’errides, and turns, nor abides:
For you sad birds and fair,
Or only for thee, bleak cliff, erect in the air;
Then well could I read wisdom in every feature,
O well should I understand the voice of Nature.
36But far away, I think, in the Thames valley,
The silent river glides by flowery banks:
And birds sing sweetly in branches that arch an alley
Of cloistered trees, moss-grown in their ancient ranks:
Where if a light air stray,
’Tis laden with hum of bees and scent of may.
Love and peace be thine, O spirit, for ever:
Serve thy sweet desire: despise endeavour.
And if it were only for thee, entrancèd river,
That scarce dost rock the lily on her airy stem,
Or stir a wave to murmur, or a rush to quiver;
Were’t but for the woods, and summer asleep in them:
For you my bowers green,
My hedges of rose and woodbine, with walks between,
Then well could I read wisdom in every feature,
O well should I understand the voice of Nature.
37
Perfect little body, without fault or stain on thee,
With promise of strength and manhood full and fair!
Though cold and stark and bare,
The bloom and the charm of life doth awhile remain on thee.
Thy mother’s treasure wert thou;—alas! no longer
To visit her heart with wonderous joy; to be
Thy father’s pride;—ah, he
Must gather his faith together, and his strength make stronger.
To me, as I move thee now in the last duty,
Dost thou with a turn or a gesture anon respond;
Startling my fancy fond
With a chance attitude of the head, a freak of beauty.

Propping thy wise, sad head,
Thy firm, pale hands across thy chest disposing.
So quiet! doth the change content thee?—Death, whither hath he taken thee?
To a world, do I think, that rights the disaster of this?
The vision of which I miss,
Who weep for the body, and wish but to warm thee and awaken thee?
Ah! little at best can all our hopes avail us
To lift this sorrow, or cheer us, when in the dark,
Unwilling, alone we embark,
And the things we have seen and have known and have heard of, fail us.
39
Joy, sweetest lifeborn joy, where dost thou dwell?
Upon the formless moments of our being
Flitting, to mock the ear that heareth well,
To escape the trained eye that strains in seeing,
Dost thou fly with us whither we are fleeing;
Or home in our creations, to withstand
Blackwingèd death, that slays the making hand?
The making mind, that must untimely perish
Amidst its work which time may not destroy,
The beauteous forms which man shall love to cherish,
The glorious songs that combat earths annoy?
Thou dost dwell here, I know, divinest Joy:
But they who build thy towers fair and strong,
Of all that toil, feel most of care and wrong.
Sense is so tender, O and hope so high,
That common pleasures mock their hope and sense;
And swifter than doth lightning from the sky
The ecstasy they pine for flashes hence,
Leaving the darkness and the woe immense,
40
Wherewith it seems no thread of light was woven,
Nor doth the track remain where once ’twas cloven.
And heaven and all the stable elements
That guard God’s purpose mock us, though the mind
Be spent in searching: for his old intents
We see were never for our joy designed:
They shine as doth the bright sun on the blind,
Or like his pensioned stars, that hymn above
His praise, but not toward us, that God is Love.
For who so well hath wooed the maiden hours
As quite to have won the worth of their rich show,
To rob the night of mystery, or the flowers
Of their sweet delicacy ere they go?
Nay, even the dear occasion when we know
We miss the joy, and on the gliding day
The special glories float and pass away,
Only life’s common plod: still to repair
The body and the thing which perisheth:
The soil, the smutch, the toil and ache and wear,
The grinding enginry of blood and breath,
Pain’s random darts, the heartless spade of death:
All is but grief, and heavily we call
On the last terror for the end of all.
41Then comes the happy moment: not a stir
In any tree, no portent in the sky:
The morn doth neither hasten nor defer,
The morrow hath no name to call it by,
But life and joy are one,—we know not why,—
As though our very blood long breathless lain
Had tasted of the breath of God again.
And having tasted it I speak of it,
And praise him telling how I trembled then
When his touch strengthened me, as now I sit
In wonder, reaching out beyond my ken,
Reaching to turn the day back, and my pen
Urging to tell a tale which told would seem
The witless phantasy of them that dream.
But O most blessèd truth, for truth thou art,
Abide thou with me till my life shall end.
Divinity hath surely touched my heart;
I have possessed more joy than earth can lend:
I may attain what time shall never spend.
Only let not my duller days destroy
The memory of thy witness and my joy.
42
O my vague desires!
Ye lambent flames of the soul, her offspring fires:
That are my soul herself in pangs sublime
Rising and flying to heaven before her time:
What doth tempt you forth
To drown in the south or shiver in the frosty north?
What seek ye or find ye in your random flying,
Ever soaring aloft, soaring and dying?
Joy, the joy of flight!
They hide in the sun, they flare and dance in the night;
Gone up, gone out of sight: and ever again
Follow fresh tongues of fire, fresh pangs of pain.
Ah! they burn my soul,
The fires, devour my soul that once was whole:
She is scattered in fiery phantoms day by day,
But whither, whither? ay whither? away, away!
Could I but control
These vague desires, these leaping flames of the soul:
Could I but quench the fire: ah! could I stay
My soul that flieth, alas, and dieth away!
43
The full moon from her cloudless skies
Turneth her face, I think, on me;
And from the hour when she doth rise
Till when she sets, none else will see.
One only other ray she hath,
That makes an angle close with mine,
And glancing down its happy path
Upon another spot doth shine.
But that ray too is sent to me,
For where it lights there dwells my heart:
And if I were where I would be,
Both rays would shine, love, where thou art.
44
I praise the tender flower,
That on a mournful day
Bloomed in my garden bower
And made the winter gay.
Its loveliness contented
My heart tormented.
I praise the gentle maid
Whose happy voice and smile
To confidence betrayed
My doleful heart awhile:
And gave my spirit deploring
Fresh wings for soaring.
The maid for very fear
Of love I durst not tell:
The rose could never hear,
Though I bespake her well:
So in my song I bind them
For all to find them.
45
Awake my heart to be loved, awake, awake!
The darkness silvers away, the morn doth break,
It leaps in the sky: unrisen lustres slake
The o’ertaken moon. Awake, O heart, awake!
She too that loveth awaketh and hopes for thee:
Her eyes already have sped the shades that flee,
Already they watch the path thy feet shall take:
Awake, O heart, to be loved, awake, awake!
And if thou tarry from her,—if this could be,—
She cometh herself, O heart, to be loved, to thee;
For thee would unashamèd herself forsake:
Awake to be loved, my heart, awake, awake!
Awake, the land is scattered with light, and see,
Uncanopied sleep is flying from field and tree:
And blossoming boughs of April in laughter shake;
Awake, O heart, to be loved, awake, awake!
Lo all things wake and tarry and look for thee:
She looketh and saith, “O sun now bring him to me.
Come more adored, O adored, for his coming’s sake,
And awake my heart to be loved: awake, awake!”
46
Who that hath ever shot a shaft at heaven
Whether of wonder, praise or humble prayer,
But hath not straight received his answer given,
And been made strong with comforting, aware
Of strength and beauty for his purpose meant,
Whether it were a lark’s song or a scent
That wanders on the quavering paths of the air?
The sweetest of all birds, that fed my slumber
With music through the thought-exalting night,
Among forgotten fancies without number
Transfigured sorrow to a heart’s delight.
And uninvited memories, that stole
With haunting trouble to their slavèd soul
Were turned to wondrous joys and aspects bright.
So intimate a part are we of Nature
That even to call us best part doth us wrong,
Being her mind, the meaning of her feature,
To whom her varied forms wholly belong.
So that what were not ours were worthless quite,
47
And thus to me it happened on that night
To be the love and joy of this bird’s song.
As it came leaping on the dark unguarded
Silence of midnight to the door of the ear:
And finding the warm passages unwarded
Sped up the spiral stair, and mounted near
To where in unseen rooms the delicate sprite
That never sleeps sat watching through the night
Weaving the time in fancies strange and drear.
Nor was it that the heavenly music fluttered
The quick electric atoms; rarer far,
The melody this bird of passion uttered
Coloured the firmament where all thoughts are:
As in the characters a poet’s hand
Has traced, there lie—for poets understand—
Heart-thrills that shoot through blackness like a star.
And so, as summer eve will sweetly soften
The wayward thoughts of all who forth may fare,
To me there came the spirit who haunts not often
My heart for sorrow of the sadness there:
But now her face was lit with joy, her eyes
Were eager messengers of her surprise
That she was quit of her profound despair.
48Clothed was she like a nun, and yet her vesture
Did sad despite unto her merry grace,
As gaily she came forward with a gesture
As gamesome as the childhood in her face,
That I had seen so long downcast and sad,
Robbed of the happy birthright which she had,
Which earth may steal away but not replace.
There is no sorrow like the slow heart-searing,
When phantoms bred of earth spring up between
Two loving hearts, who grew to their endearing,
When all their pushing tendrils yet were green:
No time-struck ruin is so sad to see
As youth’s disease: than thus, O Love, to be,
’Twere better for thy honour not to have been.
Had I not seen the servitude of folly,
The mínute-measuring of days and nights,
With superstition preaching melancholy
And pleasure counterfeiting her own rights;
Afraid to turn again and look behind,
Lest truth should flame and overwhelm the mind,
Fanning her red regret of old delights.
The mimicry of woe that is a trouble
To them that practise it, but which to those
49
To whom the joy is owed makes sorrow double
Seeing the debtor destitute that owes.
The tinselling of cruel bars, to blind
The cagèd bird to think the hand is kind
Which liberty denies and food bestows.
From which I hurried as a beast from burning,
Nor cared in flying where my terror led;
Only beyond recall and past returning,
Nor now repent if then too far I fled.—
So long, dear life, as in my flesh thou reign’st
I will sin with thee rather than against,
Let me die living rather than live dead.
But neither is there human pleasure rarer
Than love’s renewal after long disdain,
Nor any touching tale for telling fairer
Than that wherein lost lovers meet again:
Such joy must happy souls beyond the grave,
If once again they meet, in Heaven have,
Without which all the joys of Heaven were vain.
’Twas even thus she came and in my dreaming,
My pleasure was not less than Heaven’s may be:
The spiritual and unearthly seeming
50
So far outdid a touched reality:
As glances sent in love do more than tell
What words can never phrase or utter well,
And which ’tis shame and blindness not to see.
But now the joy was mine, for gentle pity
Of her who wearily lived long alone
With mopes and mummers in a sensuous city
That held no passion equal to her own,
For gentle pity, I say, constrained me well,
As pains those separated souls they tell
Prepare for Heaven, and mould their hearts of stone.
But their sweet ecstasy is all abiding
And cannot pall with time nor tire nor fade,
Nor any more can day of death, dividing
Their earthborn loves, those happy haunts invade.
But joy for ever—if that joy compare
With my best joy on earth, may I be there!
Though even from that I shrink and am afraid.
Now when I woke and thought upon this vision,
Wherein she smiled on me and I on her,
I could not quite be clear of all misprision
Who of us most was changed: or if it were
51
The song I heard not—sleeping as I heard—
That shaped our empty dream, while sang the bird
Regardless of his fond interpreter.
52
O youth whose hope is high,
Who dost to Truth aspire,
Whether thou live or die,
O look not back nor tire.
Thou that art bold to fly
Through tempest, flood and fire,
Nor dost not shrink to try
Thy heart in torments dire:
If thou canst Death defy,
If thy Faith is entire,
Press onward, for thine eye
Shall see thy heart’s desire.
Beauty and love are nigh,
And with their deathless quire
Soon shall their eager cry
Be numbered and expire.

Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.
Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org
This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

Be aware that everyone can edit every participation when the poll is not protected by a Beedle account.
Only people you have invited via Beedle on this page or later using the admin features can participate in your poll. Each participant receives a link that is unique to this person.
