Awakener
... n some loneliest treeOver and over, the shining threnodyOf few clear notes haunts the enchanted bird ...
Defeat
... heir hearts like prows furrowed some sea of dreaming,Still had their weary eyes envisioned an argosy ...
The Dusk Folk
... t of your heart, and the shadowy shrillGhost of challenge that rises from the throat of the daffodil ...
The Forsaken
... that out of their breaking, some music is wrung,But never for us has the strange blind wanderer sung ...
Growing Old
... shall have naught but wondering pity for thoseThat are all of loveliness now, the flame and the rose ...
Half Moon
... uld wear your beauty like a flower,To crush with jests and cast asideIn one unpitying, splendid hour ...
Hanmer Woods
... as these:Bright flax gleaming through the foreign larches,And a bellbird chiming in the maple trees ...
In Darkness
... God is no lessThan any galaxy, then --Than the farthest palace of dreamsBuilt for the longing of men ...
The Last Gift
... ay come to trouble the eyes of the blind,With the flame of beauty suddenly caught and clad in a word ...
Orchids
... long,And that strange steely look -- yet not too strong,Not strong enough to stand the wind and rain ...
Outcast
... omfort me,And one white star over the black pines stole --I think her joy was to make sick men whole ...
Persephone in Winter
... lute-string soundOf hesitant waters underground,Only the ice-blue water-dripsAre secret as her lips ...
Silence
... uiet as two rivers meeting,Which, drawn together, sparkling up in foam,Slide into one bright seeking ...
The Vestal
... about her head --And awe is in the eyes that down the gladeWatch her move forward, taut and unafraid ...
The Wayfarer
... e dust, thy lips for the victor's smile,And thy dream for the blue of dusk that fringes Avilion isle ...
