Poems by Edith Nesbit
The Past
... I am there when ye wake in the gray day-break ...
The Prodigal's Return
... Toys, worthless, yet desired, ...
The Singing Of The Magnificat
... Knew the monks' wealth, and how their wealth was spent ...
Raison D'Etre
... A sable veil Through which the moon peers tired and pale ...
A Choice
... Shall we build dams with cautious, clumsy care, ...
The Wife Of All Ages
... Suppose I yearned, and longed, and dreamed, and fluttered, ...
As It Is
... And unafraid Meet the sun face to face ...
A Good-Bye
... No power to hold your eyes with mine, and make ...
A Song For Peace And Honour
... Sprung from those loins from which our sires have sprung, ...
Love's Suicide
... THIS treasure of love, these passion-flowers, ...
Inasmuch As Ye Did It Not . . .
... You have lived by the death of your brothers, ...
The Sphinx
... What though one's whole life's light grows night ...
Evening Song
... Then death on dewy wings draws near and holds us, ...
Second Nature
... The goat-cup, straight, drew down the skies ...
A Portrait
... That sings by a stream that sings through the night unseen, ...
