Poems by William Ernest Henley
London Types: Barmaid
... And countering change, and scorning what men say, ...
As Like The Woman As You Can
... 'He fought, he hacked, he crushed his way: ...
Villanelle
... Is filled with sound, and launched in time, ...
London Types: "Lady"
... As one of that "gay adulterous world," whose round ...
Fill A Glass With Golden Wine
... And the while your lips are wet ...
Double Ballad Of Life And Death
... Preachers prose, and fainthearts quail ...
Let Us Be Drunk
... Let us break out, and taste the morning prime ...
You Played And Sang A Snatch Of Song
... But whither had flown the ancient wrong ...
Visitor
... Her withered brows in quaint, straight curls, like horns ...
Life Is Bitter
... In the sunshine, through the leaves, across the flowers, ...
The Sands Are Alive With Sunshine
... And the Firth as with laughter dimples ...
London Types: The Artist Muses At His Ease
... None, none can keep the years in line, ...
In The Placid Summer Midnight
... And I feel, in the waltz that frolics ...
The Gods Are Dead
... Full-crammed with facts, in science swathed and sheeted, ...
Ballade Of Youth And Age
... Envoy Struggle and turmoil, revel and brawl - ...
