Poems by Edgar Albert Guest
Faces
... But the cheeks were pale with grieving and the eyes were dull with woe ...
The Unsettled Scores
... They that 'aven't slept in trenches, 'aven't brothered with the worms, ...
The Family Doctor
... I've heard the throat man whisper low "Come on now let us spray" ...
Hard Knocks
... Hard knocks are painful things an' hard to bear, ...
The Old-Fashioned Pair
... There are old-fashioned things by an old-fashioned grate ...
Kelly Ingram
... If those deep sea bombs beside him were not thrown beneath the wave, ...
Answering Him
... When you are kind and brave and clean, ...
Under The Roof Where The Laughter Rings
... There I am pledged till my work is through, ...
Our Little Needs
... More thought for all our loved ones and less for future fame ...
After A Proposal
... Did it strike you the times that I lingered till twelve ...
Boy O' Mine
... Thought from the brain of you, work from the hand of you ...
The Price Of Riches
... For once you have builded a fortune vast you will sigh for the friends you knew ...
Revenge
... I'd wish him empty rooms at night and mocking stairs to squeak ...
Theyre Coming Back
... They 're coming back, that's all we know, ...
Sacrifice
... He'll win few praises from his Lord ...
