Alas! that we must dwell--my heart and I--so far asunder. - [Heart] Flowers preach to us if we will hear. - [Flowers] O Lord, who art our guide even unto death, grant us, I pray Thee, grace to follow Thee whithersoever Thou goest. In little daily duties to which Thou callest us, bow down our wills to simple obedience. - [Obedience] They praise my rustling show, and never see my heart is breaking for a little love. - [Sadness] Let but my scarlet head appear And I am held in scorn; Yet juice of subtile virtue lies Within my cup of curious dyes. - "Consider the Lilies of the Field" [Poppies] The violets whisper from the shade Which their own leaves have made: Men scent our fragrance on the air, Yet take no heed Of humble lessons we would read. - "Consider the Lilies of the Field" (l. 13) [Violets] It's surely summer. for there's a swallow: Come one swallow, his mate will follow, The bird race quicken and wheel and thicken. - A Bird Song (st. 2) [Swallows] My heart is like a singing bird Whose nest is in a water'd shoot; My heart is like an apple-tree Whose boughs are bent with thick-set fruit; My heart is like a rainbow shell That paddles in a halcyon sea; My heart is gladder than all these, Because my love is come to me. - A Birthday [Heart] In the bleak midwinter Frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak midwinter, Long ago. - A Christmas Carol [Winter] In the parching August wind, Cornfields bow the head, Sheltered in round valley depths, On low hills outspread. - A Year's Windfalls [August] We shall escape the uphill by never turning back. - Amor Mundi [Perseverance] The sunrise wakes the lark to sing, The moonrise wakes the nightingale. Come, darkness, moonrise, everything That is so silent, sweet, and pale: Come, so ye wake the nightingale. - Bird Raptures [Larks : Nightingales] Why does the sea moan evermore? Shut out from heaven it makes its moan, It frets against the boundary shore; All earth's full rivers cannot fill The sea, that drinking thirsteth still. - By the Sea (st. 1) [Ocean] Consider The lilies of the field whose bloom is brief:-- We are as they; Like them we fade away As doth a leaf. - Consider [Mortality] The lilies say: Behold how we Preach without words of purity. - Consider the Lilies of the Field [Preaching] The rose saith in the dewy morn, I am most fair; Yet all my loveliness is born Upon a thorn. - Consider the Lilies of the Field [Roses] Hope dead lives nevermore, No, not in heaven. - Dead Hope [Hope] Sleep that no pain shall wake, Night that no morn shall break, Till joy shall overtake Her perfect peace. - Dream-Land (st. 4) [Death] Spring bursts to-day, For Christ is risen and all the earth's at play. - Easter Carol [Easter] Wood-pigeons cooed there, stock-doves nestled there; My trees were full on songs and flowers and fruit, Their branches spread a city to the air. - From House to Home (st. 7) [Pigeons] O happy skylark springing Up to the broad, blue sky, Too fearless in thy winging, Too gladsome in thy singing, Thou also soon shalt lie Where no sweet notes are ringing. - Gone Forever (st. 2) [Larks] You're good for Madge or good for Cis Or good for Kath, maybe: But what's to me the good of this While you're not good for me? - Jessie Cameron (st. 3) [Goodness] I have a room whereinto no one enters Save I myself alone: There sits a blessed memory on a throne, There my life centres. - Memory (pt. II) [Memory] There is no music more for him: His lights are out, his feast is done; His bowl that sparkled to the brim Is drained, is broken, cannot hold. - Peal of Bells [Death] This life is but the passage of a day, This life is but a pang and all is over; But in the life to come which fades not away Every love shall abide and every lover. - Saints and Angels [Life] Displaying page 1 of 2 for this author: Next >> [1] 2
