Poems by Ernest Christopher Dowson
Non Sum Qualis eram Bonae Sub Regno Cynarae
... All night upon mine heart I felt her warm heart beat, ...
Rondeau
... And not less bright than thine her hair ...
April Love
... We have made no vows - there will none be broke, ...
Nuns of the Perpetual Adoration
... These watch the sacred lamp, these watch and pray: ...
This Libation, Cupid, Take
... Send him visions strange and sweet, ...
Vesperal
... Deferred, expected night at last brings sleep and rest: ...
The Sea-Change
... When thy fierce caresses blind mine eyes and my limbs grow stark and set, ...
Ad Manus Puellae
... But they blush to the tips like a curled sea-shell: ...
On The Birth Of A Friend's Child
... Mark the day white, on which the Fates have smiled: ...
Carthusians
... And one was crowned with thorns, and one was crowned with bays, ...
De Amore
... Foiled, frustrate and alone, misunderstood, discrowned, ...
"You would have understood me, had you waited"
... Nay, let this earth, your portion, likewise cover ...
Saint Germain-En-Laye
... Gaunt ghosts that flutter where thy feet have sped, ...
Impentitent Ultima
... " Her pitiful hands should calm, and her hair stream down and blind me, ...
Vain Hope
... Shall change, grow soft: there yet is time, meseems, ...
