Poems by James Brunton Stephens
Hate
... When all the arrows that we have are cast, ...
I heard a bird at dawn
... But I didn't listen to him, ...
In The Cool Of The Evening
... Our crouching shame, may make us stand upright ...
In The Poppy Field
... He kicked his legs and roared for joy ...
The Ancient Elf
... The speedy forsaker!The lance and the lyre, ...
The Lonely God
... not evermore Would they run forth to meet Him as before ...
Convict Once - Part Fourth.
... 3 "Yes, were the brand of the law on thy name shall the mere words offend thee ...
The Shell
... And in the hush of waters was the sound ...
The Spring In Ireland: 1916
... They heard your songs e'er birds had singing power, ...
Spirit of Song
... By thee are dispelled till all sorrow has flown ...
The Angel Of The Doves.
... " * * * * * Slowly the rainbow rose, parting in twain ...
Spirit And Star.
... Through the cold, through the void, through the wilds of space, ...
The Courtship of the Future.
... Your swift life thrills me through and through: ...
Australian Anthem.
... " What to Thy throne convey ...
Insurrections
... " He said, "Dear child, I feared that you were dead," ...
