Alice Christiana Gertrude Thompson Meynell Divine Poems

• 1. The Two Poets
  Whose is the speech
  That moves the voices of this lonely beech?
  Out of the long West did this wild wind come -
  Oh strong and silent! And the tree was dumb,
  ...
• 2. In Early Spring
  O Spring, I know thee! Seek for sweet surprise
  In the young children's eyes.
  But I have learnt the years, and know the yet
  Leaf-folded violet.
  ...
• 3. San Lorenzo Giustiniani's Mother
  I had not seen my son's dear face
  (He chose the cloister by God's grace)
  Since it had come to full flower-time.
  I hardly guessed at its perfect prime,
  ...
• 4. To A Poet
  Thou who singest through the earth,
  All the earth's wild creatures fly thee,
  Everywhere thou marrest mirth.
  Dumbly they defy thee.

• 5. To Tintoretto In Venice
  The Art of Painting had in the Primitive years looked with the light, not towards it. Before Tintoretto's date, however, many painters practised shadows and lights, and turned more or less sunwards; but he set the figure between himself and a full sun. His work is to be known in Venice by the splendid trick of an occluded sun and a shadow thrown straight at the spectator.
  
  Tintoretto's thronged "Procession to Calvary" and his "Crucifixion," incidentally named, are two of the greatest of his multitude of works in Venice.

• 6. Soeur Monique - A Rondeau By Couperin
  Quiet form of silent nun,
  What has given you to my inward eyes?
  What has marked you, unknown one,
  In the throngs of centuries
  ...
• 7. The Divine Privilege
  Lord, where are Thy prerogatives?
  Why, men have more than Thou hast kept;
  The king rewards, remits, forgives,
  The poet to a throne has stept.
  ...
• 8. The Treasure
  Three times have I beheld
  Fear leap in a babe's face, and take his breath,
  Fear, like the fear of eld
  That knows the price of life, the name of death.
  ...
• 9. Sonnet - To One Poem In A Silent Time
  Who looked for thee, thou little song of mine?
  This winter of a silent poet's heart
  Is suddenly sweet with thee, but what thou art,
  Mid-winter flower, I would I could divine.
