Jessie Mackay I Love You Poems
- 1. Dunedin In The Gloaming
Like a black, enamoured King whispered low the thunder
To the lights of Roslyn, terraced far asunder:
Hovered low the sister cloud in wild, warm wonder.
... - 2. Ortygia
IN Ortygia the Dawn land the old gods dwell,
And the silverâ??s yet a-quiver on the old wizard well
By the milk-white walls of the Temple of the Moon,
Where the Dawn Maids hallow the red godsâ?? tune,
... - 3. Song Of The Driftweed
HEREâ??S to the home that was never, never ours!
Toast it full and fairly when the winter lowers.
Speak ye low, my merry men, sitting at your ease;
Harken to the homeless Drift in the roaring seas!
... - 4. A Folk Song
I came to your town, my love,
And you were away, away!
I said "She is with the Queen's maidens:
They tarry long at their play.
