Arthur Sherburne Hardy Night Poems
- 1. Songs Of Two
I
Last night I dreamed this dream: That I was dead;
And as I slept, forgot of man and God,
... - 2. On Ne Badine Pas Avec La Mort
1
The dew was full of sun that morn
(Oh I heard the doves in the ladyricks coop!)
... - 3. My Friend
I have a friend who came,-I know not how,
Nor he. Among the crowd, apart,
I feel the pressure of his hand, and hear
In very truth the beating of his heart.
... - 4. J. E. B.
Not all the pageant of the setting sun
Should yield the tired eyes of man delight,
No sweet beguiling power had stars at night
To soothe his fainting heart when day is done,
... - 5. Iter Supremum
Oh, what a night for a soul to go!
The wind a hawk, and the fields in snow;
No screening cover of leaves in the wood,
Nor a star abroad the way to show.
... - 6. In An Album
Like the south-flying swallow the summer has flown,
Like a fast-falling star, from unknown to unknown
Life flashes and falters and fails from our sight,-
Good-night, friends, good-night.
