Poems by Judith Wright
Turning Fifty
... though, granted life or death, ...
The Sisters
... Thinking of their lives apart and the men they married ...
Legend
... His rifle broke, his hat blew away and his dog was gone and the sun was falling ...
Request to a Year
... her second son, balanced on a small ice flow,drift down the current toward a waterfall ...
South of my Days
... I know it dark against the stars, the high lean country ...
The Old Prison
... and they are blown away- They did not breed nor love, ...
All things conspire
... even my love, since that would mask you and unname you ...
The Company Of Lovers
... Lock your warm hand above the chilling heart ...
The Surfer
... foam-- (hawthorn hedges in spring, thorns in the face stinging) ...
Egrets
... of clear dark water, and white trees unmoving, ...
Trapped Dingo
... you mourned him! - the drinker of blood, the swift death-bringer ...
Drought Year
... make him stand at the gate of the Thirty-mile Dry ...
The Bull
... What enemy steals his strength - what rival steals ...
Northern River
... Not the grey kangaroo, deer-eyes, timorous, ...
Magpies
... They tilt their heads, and stroll and talk ...
