And your tone was earnest, very--
You would never deck your head
With this vernal millinery.
An Impromptu

THE clock has struck noon; ere it thrice tell the hours
We shall meet round the table that blushes with flowers,
And I shall blush deeper with shame-driven blood
That I came to the banquet and brought not a bud.

A Dead Woman
© Henry Cuyler Bunner
Not a kiss in life; but one kiss, at lifes end,

At the gate of Silence give it back to me.

After an Interval

A Battle

The starry hosts with silver lances prick
The scarlet fringes of the tents of Day,
And turn their crystal shields upon their breasts,
And point their radiant lances, and so wait

An Autumn Sonnet

Of wind and war and whirling leaves above.
A Rolling Stone Gathers No Moss

I'd sooner gather anything,
Like primroses, or news perhaps,

But could forego my share of moss,
Nor ever realize the loss.

Can you drink one cup with me?
A Requiem

From the hours, rosy and gray,
Hid her golden face away.
Neobule, fain of sleep,
Slept at last as she desired!

Give us in thee our part,
O Mother young and fair!

Therefore I lied to please the mob.

MY father, hero of benignant mien,
On horseback visited the gory scene,
A Harvest Scene

Wak'd by the gentle gleamings of the morn,
Soon clad, the reaper, provident of want

SOY un alma desnuda en estos versos,
Alma desnuda que angustiada y sola
Va dejando sus pétalos dispersos.
