Harry 'breaker' Harbord Morant World Poems

• 1. While Yet We May
  Ancient, wrinkled dames and jealous -
  They whom joyless Age downcasts -
  And the sere, gray-bearded fellows
  Who would fain re-live their pasts -
  ...
• 2. Night Thought
  The world around is sleeping,
  The stars are bright o'erhead,
  The shades of myalls weeping
  Upon the sward are spread;
  ...
• 3. The Wooing O' T
  He was a bachelor, gallant and gay
  She was a spinster prim -
  Pretty and prim, with a wonderful way
  Which had captivated him.
  ...
• 4. The Day That Is Dead
  Ah, Jack! Time finds us feeble men,
  And all too swift our years have flown.
  The days are different now to then -
  In that time when we rode ten stone.
  ...
• 5. To A Silent Girl
  When the sklll'd fashioner of female faces
  Designed your mask, he wrought with cunning fist,
  And made a mouth expressly to be kiss'd -
  Not for shrill utterance nor pert grimaces.
  ...
• 6. At The River-crossing
  Oh! the quiet river-crossing
  Where we twain were wont to ride,
  Where the wanton winds were to sing
  Willow branches o'er the tide.
  ...
• 7. A-shelling Peas
  Now, all the world is green and bright
  Outside the latticed pane;
  The fields are decked with gold and white,
  And Spring has come again.
  ...
• 8. Summer Midnight
  Athwart the star-lit midnight sky
  Luminous fleecy clouds drift by,
  As the mysterious, pallid moon
  Sinks in the waveless still lagoon.
  ...
• 9. A Song
  The sun may shine, the rain may fall,
  And the world roll round about, -
  The king's men and king's horses all
  Can never rub one thing out.
  ...
