Harold Edward Monro Suddenly Poems
- 1. Week-end
I

Hurry, or it will try to creep away.

Went from his mother out in the cool of the day
Over the sun-parched fields
And in among the olives shining green and shining grey.
... - 3. Goldfish
They are the angels of that watery world,
With so much knowledge that they just aspire
To move themselves on golden fins,
Or fill their paradise with fire
... - 4. Two Poems
I

And walk about, and breathe, and speak, and love,

Mechanical, improvidently wise,

And all the neat curtains are drawn with care,
The little black cat with bright green eyes
Is suddenly purring there.
