John Davidson Light Poems
- 1. Song Of A Train
A monster taught
To come to hand
Amain,
As swift as thought
... - 2. War Song
In anguish we uplift
A new unhallowed song:
The race is to the swift;
The battle to the strong.
... - 3. London
Athwart the sky a lowly sigh
From west to east the sweet wind carried;
The sun stood still on Primrose Hill;
His light in all the city tarried:
... - 4. The Last Rose
‘O which is the last rose?'
A blossom of no name.
At midnight the snow came;
At daybreak a vast rose,
...
