Poems by Mark van Doren
After Long Drought
... The whole world dreamed of this, and has it now ...
Born Brothers
... And floods are on us--fire, earth, water, air ...
Dunce Songs : 9
... Love me more than halfway, though ...
Farewell and Thanksgiving
... So why not I? Yet thank you even then, ...
He Loves Me
... Dark thoughts about my head, each vein and limb ...
Morning Worship
... Oh, end arriving)How shall I praise them: ...
Nothing Stays
... Nothing stays not even change, ...
Our Lady Peace
... Not to fail Was having her, gigantic, undefiled,For homely goddess, big as the world that burned, ...
Spring Thunder
... That marches here!Come under the trembling hedge-- ...
The Deepest Dream
... And fear; and all our thoughts--dark scavengers-- ...
The Deserted Village
... Good Heaven! what sorrows gloom'd that parting day, ...
When Lovely Woman Stoops to Folly
... And finds too late that men betray, ...
