Poems by Lesbia Harford
A Sophistical Argument
... Though I should forfeit mine innocence, ...
"Once I thought my love was worth the name"
... Once I thought my love was worth the name ...
"Emmie, Emmie Adams"
... That must be the devil's horn ...
Closing Time: Public Library
... And thought Swoops down insatiate through the starry air ...
"They say priests say "
... When your hair was curled, ...
Buddha In The Workroom
... Spread circlewise, strong petalled lobe on lobe, ...
"Oh, oh Rosalie"
... You would have nought of me ...
"O man, O woman, grievest so?"
... He does not know the hearts he made ...
"Today they made a bonfire"
... And smoke like incense drifted ...
"I was sad"
... I was sad; Though far in the future our light would shine ...
"The people have drunk the wine of peace"
... They smile as they drift with hearts at rest ...
"I have three loves who are all most dear"
... I were too poor had I less than three ...
The Wife
... That shine like new although we've used them lots ...
Little Ships
... The little ships are dearer than the great ships ...
"I have golden shoes"
... Is overbold, I can run away ...
