More from Francis Turner Palgrave

  1. With the cry I wake;-and around me The mother and child at her feet Breathe peace in even whispers; And the night falls heavy and sweet.
  2. Follow, O follow!-and we follow
  3. Earth all one tomb lies round me, Domed with an iron sky: And God Himself in His power, God cannot save me! I cry.
  4. The Sun whispers, O remember! You have but thirty days to run, O sweet September!
  5. I see the lost Love in beauty Go gliding over the main: I feel the ancient sweetness, The worm and the wormwood again.
  6. Kiss and cling to them, kiss and leave them, Bright and beguiling:- Bright and beguiling, as She who glances Along the shore and the meadow…
  7. Sleep puts out silent fingers, And leads me back to the roar Of the dead salt sea that vomits Wrecks of the past ashore.
  8. There is a garden where lilies And roses are side by side; And all day between them in silence The silken butterflies glide.
