John Davidson Night Poems

  • 1.
    Below the down the stranded town
    What may betide forlornly waits,
    With memories of smoky skies,
    When Gallic navies crossed the straits;
    ...
  • 2.
    A monster taught
    To come to hand
    Amain,
    As swift as thought
    ...
  • 3.
    'A letter from my love to-day!
    Oh, unexpected, dear appeal!'
    She struck a happy tear away,
    And broke the crimson seal.
    ...
  • 4.

    I heard the South sing o'er the land
    I saw the yellow sunlight fall
    On knolls where Norman churches stand.
    ...

    At night I hang about;
    I sleep a little when I may,
    But rise betimes the morning's scout;

    Like such as cut their teeth -- I hope, like you --
    On the handle of a skeleton gold key;
    ...
  • 7.
    ‘O which is the last rose?'
    A blossom of no name.
    At midnight the snow came;
    At daybreak a vast rose,
    ...
  • 8.
    The boat is chafing at our long delay,
    And we must leave too soon
    The spicy sea-pinks and the inborne spray,
    The tawny sands, the moon.
    ...
