E. J. Pratt Face Poems

  • 1.
    Perched on a dead volcanic pile,
    Now charted as a submerged peak,
    Near to a moon-washed coral isle,
    A hundred leagues from Mozambique,
    ...
  • 2.
    Now it was clear to every Shade
    That some great wonder was before them,
    As Tom upon the palisade
    Emptied, as fast as Lulu bore them,
    ...
  • 3.
    Time-morning

    A half-point Nor'ard from the West,
    A bluish-tinted spot of light,
    ...
  • 4.
    Dawn from the Foretop! Dawn from the Barrel!
    A scurry of feet with a roar overhead;
    The master-watch wildly pointing to Northward,
    Where the herd in front of The Eagle was spread!
    ...
  • 5.
    The rust of hours,
    Through a year of days,
    Has dulled the edge of the pain;
    But at night
    ...
  • 6.
    Comes not the springtime here,
    Though the snowdrop came,
    And the time of the cowslip is near,
    For a yellow flame
    ...

None who saw it ever told it

None who saw it ever told it
'Tis as hid as Death
Had for that specific treasure
A departing breath-
Surfaces may be invested
Did the Diamond grow
