Poems by Ada Cambridge
The Midnight Mass
... And strong the simple hearts, new clothed in grace- ...
"After Our Likeness"
... When life's hard lessons have been conned and learn'd ...
All-Saints' Day (1867)
... They who through thorns and briars walk safe and sure ...
The Soldier's Grave
... For the shine of the bayonets that clash'd one day ...
Good-bye
... Good-bye! Dear heart! dear eyes! dear tongue, that cannot lie! ...
The Hand In The Dark
... These pangs, these tears, these crimes, that never cease ...
At Sea
... How the sharp sea-spume lashed and stung! ...
Tired
... Glancing, twinkling through the trees- ...
Contentment
... No peace with Custom that makes right of wrong ...
Ordained
... ered to one small plot of ground,While all the great world spreads around, And doomed to fly no more ...
The Physical Conscience
... m unloved embrace,In love-born passion, that no laws compel,Nor gold can purchase, nor ambition sell ...
A Promise
... ere better than to live my time Bereaved and broken, and to wane, Slow inch by inch, in useless pain ...
A Wife’s Protest
... ##. Whom Love must ne'er embrace!Thou knowest I could not bear to look On its reproachful face ...
