Poems by Francis Thompson
The After Woman
... This song is sung and sung not, and its words are sealed ...
A Girl's Sin - In His Eyes
... Thence heightening that hour when her lover ...
Penelope
... so you tried All carefullest ways to drive me from your side, ...
The Heart: Two Sonnets
... Yet shall that chasm, till He Who these did build ...
Sister Songs-An Offering To Two Sisters - The Proem
... Through dreams she stirs and murmurs at that summons dear: ...
Against Urania
... -- Know this, that in her service thou shalt learn ...
After-Strain
... Wipe thou the blood from wounds that needs must gape ...
Epilogue--To The Poet's Sitter
... Wherein he excuseth himself for the manner of the Portrait ...
Heard On The Mountain
... No, never issued from a mouth, nor moved an ear, such voice as this is! ...
Hermes
... Stern Truth takes flesh in shows of lovely feature ...
House Of Bondage
... Twice-seven heaped years to burn in Rachel's kiss ...
Sister Songs-An Offering To Two Sisters - Part The Second
... Of pangs Twitch-lipped, with quivering nostrils and immitigate fangs, ...
Grief's Harmonics
... Dead sorrow and sorrow unborn so blent their pain, ...
'Ex Ore Infantium'
... ' And He will smile, that children's tongue ...
The Dread Of Height
... Ah me! How shall my mouth content it with mortality ...
