H. D. Great Poems
- 1. Stars Wheel In Purple
Stars wheel in purple, yours is not so rare
as Hesperus, nor yet so great a star
as bright Aldeboran or Sirius,
nor yet the stained and brilliant one of War;
... - 2. Song

as the half-ripe grain
that merges to gold again,
as white as the white rain
... - 3. Sheltered Garden
I have had enough.
I gasp for breath.
Every way ends, every road,
... - 4. Pear Tree

whirl your pointed pines,
splash your great pines

I am anguished-defeated.
... - 7. Let Zeus

I say, I am quite done,
quite done with this;
... - 8. Cities
Can we believe-by an effort
comfort our hearts:
it is not waste all this,
not placed here in disgust,
... - 9. At Baia
I should have thought
in a dream you would have brought
some lovely, perilous thing,
orchids piled in a great sheath,
...
