Poems by Madison Julius Cawein
Riley
... Who swarm behind you, peering o'er your shoulder, ...
The Ruined Mill
... When the wet wind whines like a hound that's lashed, ...
The Dream Of Roderick
... "They come! they come! the Moors! the Moors!" ...
The Name On The Tree
... But I had seen old ghosts of long dead loves go by ...
The Intruder
... She raised her eyes, and no one! Yet she felt ...
Prototypes
... to unfold Her truth and beauty to the souls of men ...
Beauty And Art
... The Satyr's hoof still prints the loam ...
Eidolons
... one bower Looked like a dead man, capped and gloved, ...
Perle Des Jardins
... Tyrant,--crowned with stinging thorn,-- ...
The Lady Of The Hills
... From that wild time when, spear to spear, ...
Love Despised
... Would not one think the slights that make hearts smart, ...
The Wild Iris
... Many a stone And gnarly root, gray-mossed, made wild our way: ...
Light And Wind
... Where, through the myriad leaves of forest trees, ...
The Hillside Grave
... And morning-glories, like young lips, make sweet ...
Fairies
... Like a star in still streams!" ...
