James Oppenheim Poems

  • The Lincoln-child
    Clearing in the forest,
    In the wild Kentucky forest,
    And the stars, wintry stars strewn above!
    O Night that is the starriest...
  • Where Love Once Was
    Where love once was, let there be no hate:
    Though they that went as one by night and day
    Go now alone,
    Where love once was, let there be no hate....
