George Eliot Life Poems
- 1. God Needs Antonio
Your soul was lifted by the wings today
Hearing the master of the violin:
You praised him, praised the great Sabastian too
Who made that fine Chaconne; but did you think
... - 2. Sweet Endings Come And Go, Love
"La noche buena se viene,
La noche buena se va,
Y nosotros nos iremos
Y no volveremos mas."
... - 3. The Choir Invisible
Oh, may I join the choir invisible
Of those immortal dead who live again
In minds made better by their presence; live

For view there are the houses opposite
Cutting the sky with one long line of wall
Like solid fog: far as the eye can stretch
... - 5. Brother And Sister

I cannot choose but think upon the time
When our two lives grew like two buds that kiss

Two lovers by a moss-grown spring:
They leaned soft cheeks together there,
Mingled the dark and sunny hair,
And heard the wooing thrushes sing.
