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

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

Bold sailor on the sea?
In earth or heaven,

...
- 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.
