Joseph Furphy Love Poems
- 1. Finis. Time.
O Time! Time! Time!
Thou wondrous mystery!
Within whose rune and rhyme
Lies all Man's history
... - 2. A Christmas Greeting To K.b.
While changing Seasons run their course,
Controlled and guided from above,
It is thy part to re-enforce
The broadening stream of Light and Love.
... - 3. Birthday Lines For K.b.
Life is a Poem, short or long,
A dismal Dirge, or jovial Song,
A Psalm of faith, or Lay of Pride,
One stanza by each year supplied.
... - 4. Autograph Verses
'Prove what Life can give of gladness;
Seek for aught that merits trust รข??
All thy mirth will turn to sadness,
All thy bliss to cold disgust.
... - 5. A Christmas Hymn
The Seraph-song of morning's prime
That hail'd Messiah's birth,
The charter of a coming time
When Love shall rule the earth,
... - 6. The Schoolhouse On The Plain
(From 'An Idyll of the Wimmera.')
On the geodetic line, where the parish boundaries join
At a level and interminable lane
... - 7. Lines For Lizer-jane's Album.
No two leaves that wave in Arden,
No two grass blades on the plain,
No two flowers that gem the garden,
Show as twins in form or vein,
...
