Hilda Doolittle Bright Poems
- 1. At Baia
I should have thought
in a dream you would have brought
some lovely, perilous thing,
orchids piled in a great sheath,
... - 2. At Ithaca
Over and back,
the long waves crawl
and track the sand with foam;
night darkens, and the sea
... - 3. Sea Poppies
Amber husk
fluted with gold,
fruit on the sand
marked with a rich grain,
... - 4. Eurydice
I
So you have swept me back,
I who could have walked with the live souls
... - 5. 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;
... - 6. Song
YOU are as gold
as the half-ripe grain
that merges to gold again,
as white as the white rain
...
