Arthur Sherburne Hardy Soul Poems
- 1. With April Arbutus, To A Friend
Fairer than we the woods of May,
Yet sweeter blossoms do not grow
Than these we send you from our snow,
Cramped are their stems by winter's cold,
... - 2. Songs Of Two
I
Last night I dreamed this dream: That I was dead;
And as I slept, forgot of man and God,
... - 3. 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!)
... - 4. 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.
... - 5. Lullaby
O Mary, Mother, if the day we trod
In converse sweet the lily-fields of God,
From earth afar arose a cry of pain,
Would we not weep again?
... - 6. 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.
