More from Francis Turner Palgrave

  1. In the hollow Silver voices ripple and cry Follow, O follow!
  2. The Sun whispers, O remember! You have but thirty days to run, O sweet September!
  3. 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.
  4. 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…
  5. Earth all one tomb lies round me, Domed with an iron sky: And God Himself in His power, God cannot save me! I cry.
  6. There is a garden where lilies And roses are side by side; And all day between them in silence The silken butterflies glide.
  7. I see the lost Love in beauty Go gliding over the main: I feel the ancient sweetness, The worm and the wormwood again.
  8. I may not enter the garden, Though I know the road thereto; And morn by morn to the gateway I see the children go.
