Harold Edward Monro White Poems
- 1. The Nightingale Near The House
Here is the soundless cypress on the lawn:
It listens, listens. Taller trees beyond
Listen. The moon at the unruffled pond
Stares. And you sing, you sing.
... - 2. Week-end
I
The train! The twelve o'clock for paradise.
Hurry, or it will try to creep away.
... - 3. Children Of Love
The holy boy
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.
... - 4. Child Of Dawn
O gentle vision in the dawn:
My spirit over faint cool water glides.
Child of the day,
To thee;
... - 5. Milk For The Cat
When the tea is brought at five o'clock,
And all the neat curtains are drawn with care,
The little black cat with bright green eyes
Is suddenly purring there.
