Poems by Edith Nesbit
A Tragedy
... I wish I were a child!And no one sees and no one knows ...
Appeal
... Webs of lies lest truth should grieve me ...
In Trouble
... 17 Well, the river is deep, and drowned folk sleep sound, ...
St. Valentine's Day
... But little and white Is the pale moon's light ...
The Despot
... 5 Then Spring's bright banners came: there woke ...
The Island
... Where the worst of life is a dream, and the best comes true, ...
The Kiss
... And let the snakes' sleep last!Touch of your hand could not suffice ...
Villeggiature
... And through the blossom climbed and kissed me ...
The Heart Of Sadness
... Through wrong and right, through wisdom and through woe, ...
The Eternal
... Will fade, like sweet rose-petals shed, ...
A Parting II
... You are tired: sleep on, I will not wake you, dear! ...
Silence
... To-night Silence is queen in grief's despite, ...
To One Who Bade Him Work
... Spread wings, and flutter from your sight ...
The Jilted Lover To His Mother
... But all the same, if you want to pray, you'd best pray God take care of them, ...
The Ferry
... I see her white gown through the grass, ...
