Francis William Bourdillon Life Poems
- 1. The Heart Cry
She turned the page of wounds and death
With trembling fingers. In a breath
The gladness of her life became
Naught but a memory and a name.
... - 2. The Night Has A Thousand Eyes
The night has a thousand eyes,
And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun.
... - 3. Two Robbers
When Death from some fair face
Is stealing life away,
All weep, save she, the grace
That earth shall lose today.
... - 4. The Debt Unpayable
What have I given,
Bold sailor on the sea?
In earth or heaven,
That you should die for me?
... - 5. Eurydice
HE came to call me back from death
To the bright world above.
I hear him yet with trembling breath
Low calling, รข??O sweet love!
... - 6. The Acorn
An acorn swung
On an oak-tree bough;
So long it had hung,
It would fain fall now
... - 7. Night
The night has a thousand eyes,
And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun.
