Poems by Edith Nesbit
Christmas
... With the swiftness of thought, with the spring's incompleteness, ...
New College Gardens, Oxford
... The heart-ache that youth clasps so close, ...
The Invitation
... Sable your court will wear--to lose you ...
Shepherds All And Maidens Fair
... So wreathe your crooks with flowers ...
The Choice
... While flower-crowned maids go maying, ...
Accession
... And I mourned in the cold and the outer night, ...
The Last Envoy
... To light with love and hope youth's waiting shrine-- ...
At The Feast
... We give--the tortured lives of little children: ...
The Stolen God--Lazarus To Dives
... But, by God, we will not yield you our God, ...
En Tout Cas
... Your hands to hold mine through the night ...
The Forest Pool
... How gold your hair, your mouth how red ...
The Goose-Girl
... Her cheeks were rose, her gold hair loose, ...
Death
... NEVER again: No child shall stir the inmost heart of her ...
By Faith With Thanksgiving
... On hands that clung and lips that kissed, ...
Through The Wood
... Through the wood, the chill wood, the brown wood, the bare wood, ...
