Francis William Bourdillon Earth Poems

  • 1.
    When Death from some fair face
    Is stealing life away,
    All weep, save she, the grace
    That earth shall lose today.

  • 2.
    Who knows the deeps, where the water sleeps
    Leagues from the light away?
    Who knows the heights, where myriad lights
    Fill heaven with endless day?
