Poems by Edith Wharton
Experience
... II O Death, we come full-handed to thy gate, ...
The One Grief
... Whose speech young Joy had failed to understand, ...
The Comrade
... and beyond His temple lights, have seen the long gray waste ...
Survival
... And tears and tides, in lifes divine renewal, ...
A Failure
... (She Speaks.) I MEANT to be so strong and true! ...
Pomegranate Seed
... DEMETER On earth, on earth, thou wouldst have wounds to heal! ...
The Bread Of Angels
... . . And piteous hands were stretched to take the bread ...
Artemis To Actaeon
... I from afar Beheld thee fashioned for one hours high use, ...
Battle Sleep
... Deep in the orchard-bloom the roof-trees stand, ...
Mona Lisa
... Lit with wild lightnings from the heaven of pain ...
The Old Pole Star
... Look now - blank nothingness! As though Change laughed ...
The Parting Day
... I. SOME busy hands have brought to light, ...
You and You
... All the sea ploughed with you, all the air humming, ...
A Grave
... Though love of the one heart that loves you best, ...
The Mortal Lease
... Like sea-flowers through the summer seas long roll ...
