Poems by Mathilde Blind
Once We Played
... All too quickly burned Life's flame ...
The Red Sunsets I, 1883
... Starved of earth's beauty by Man's grudging hand, ...
Rose D'Amour
... Then haste while still the roses blow, ...
Seeking
... As when the moon behind earth's shadow slips, ...
The After-Glow
... And vast circumference of light, whose slow ...
The Forest Pool
... And dead and drowned 'mid leaves that rot, ...
Mystery Of Mysteries
... Or will true life from Life's disguises break, ...
Time's Shadow
... While glimmering faint, the Future's promised land, ...
Cagnes
... Whose antique walls in stone and moulding bear ...
Nuit
... Night has her graves ...
Shakespeare
... Once wrought the Mind which she had groped for still, ...
Invocation
... JUNE, 1866. BREATHE thro' me in music, ...
Rest
... But kneel to him she hates to crave ...
Autumn Tints
... Flares up through the kindling world ...
Aspirations
... For, through the racking fire, she winged her upward flight ...
