David Morton Poems
- The Kings Are Passing Deathward
The Kings are passing deathward in the dark
Of days that had been splendid where they went;
Their crowns are captive and their courts are stark
Of purples that are ruinous, now, and rent.... - Symbol
My faith is all a doubtful thing,
Wove on a doubtful loom,-
Until there comes, each showery spring,
A cherry-tree in bloom;... - Old Ships
There is a memory stays upon old ships,
A weightless cargo in the musty hold,-
Of bright lagoons and prow-caressing lips,
Of stormy midnights,-and a tale untold....
