Poems by Aline Murray Kilmer
Charmians Song
... If my heart were great and I gave it away ...
Unlearning
... "What childish things are these you seek ...
Daimon
... The blue-black hair that had swept to her knees ...
If I Had Loved You More
... How could I know that the earth would be dark without you ...
Light Lover
... Who will smile when you come and smile when you pass ...
Ambition
... Though the first four are pretty and certain to please, ...
"The Heart Knoweth Its Own Bitterness"
... Then the thing that I bear in my bosom is not a heart ...
Tour De Force
... But when you have learned it through ...
Tribute
... Kenton brought me buttercups with summer on their breath, ...
The Harp
... So while my hand is light and sure ...
The Gift
... Or will it, too, slip through my fingers like spilt sand ...
To A Child Shut In A Bedroom
... They were too harsh, the words I said ...
Vigils
... My heart beat proudly, my prayer rose loudly, ...
Atonement
... When the trees are moaning like masts on laboring ships, ...
For All Ladies Of Shalott
... "The curse has come on me!" she cried ...
