Poems by Katherine Mansfield
Fairy Tale
... And calling of wolves to be fed--Thin wolves, grey and silent as shadows ...
Firelight
... "Try, mother, try!"Old Nurse Silence lifts a silent finger: ...
Grown-Up Talk
... .. "I suppose God makes the black ones ...
In the Rangitaki Valley
... Sweet with the kiss of her breathO valley of waving broom, ...
Jangling Memory
... "Throw the shabby old thing right out of the window ...
Loneliness
... I am fain To turn to Loneliness, to take her hand, ...
Night-Scented Stock
... .. "Come into the garden--it's as light as day!""I can't dance to that Hungarian stuff, ...
Now I am a Plant, a Weed...
... And the white sails have melted into the sailing sky ...
On a Young Lady's Sixth Anniversary
... And Miss Babbles one, two, three, ...
Opposites
... She had such shocking feetThe Patent-Leather-Slipper-Child ...
Out in the Garden
... Over the grass and under the hedge border, ...
Sanary
... And the little boats caught in the web like flies ...
Sea
... Than the little salt tears you are frightened of shedding ...
Sea Song
... Until the night Deepens and darkens, And covers her quite, And bids her be ...
Sleeping Together
... That entered into my heart to fold!A thousand years ...
