John Hall Wheelock Love Poems
- 1. Love Knocks At The Door
In the pain, in the loneliness of love,
To the heart of my sweet I fled.
I knocked at the door of her living heart,
“Let in-let in-” I said.
... - 2. Life
Life burns us up like fire,
And Song goes up in flame:
The radiant body smoulders
To the ashes whence it came.
... - 3. Earth
Grasshopper, your fairy song
And my poem alike belong
To the dark and silent earth
From which all poetry has birth;
...
