Poems by Madison Julius Cawein
Chant Before Battle
... War, with his terrible toys, that win men's hearts ...
Wherefore
... The truth they preach in church and hall ...
The Brook
... Its heart's creating pulse that beats and sings ...
Old Homes
... Their doors, round which the great trees stand like wardens ...
A Forest Idyl
... All that this Earth-life dreams, ...
The Broken Drouth
... Above the hills, big, bellying clouds loomed, black ...
Music Of Summer
... Charming the fields ripe, orchards and deep woods, ...
Beltenebros At Miraflores
... The rooks swarm clatt'ring 'round the tow'rs ...
Late October
... One hairy hummer cramps one bloom, frost mocked,--rocked ...
Unqualified
... Of self that stay his feet the more ...
Abandoned
... Like some sad thought that broods here, old perfumes ...
A Dirge
... Fold her hands, frail flakes of snow, ...
Before The End
... What lonelier forms--that at the year's door stood ...
Dead Sea Fruit
... The dreams, that helped us once, become ...
The Khalif And The Arab
... Laughed--as with scorn the King of kings he 'd beard, ...
