Joseph Seamon Cotter Heart Poems
- 1. Moloch
Old Moloch walks the way tonight
On Flander's poppied field,
Where foe meets foe in steel and might
And never one shall yield.
... - 2. A Woman At Her Husband's Grave
Peace to his ashes!
I cannot for the soul of me
Sorrowing bow,
Tho I search through the heart of me
... - 3. The Goal
I have found joy,
Surcease from sorrow,
From qualms for today
And fears for tomorrow.
... - 4. Africa
A thousand years of darkness in her face,
She turns at last from out the centurys' blight
Of labored moan and dull oppression's might,
To slowly mount the rugged path and trace
... - 5. Love's Demesne
Old memories come trooping down
The vistas of the years;
In blue-girt robes of pleasure clad
Or garbed in tears.
... - 6. Looking At A Portrait
O why are there eyes like these,
That sparkle and dapple and tease,
So wide with the morning, so deep with the night,
Dancing and gleaming in passioned delight?
... - 7. Reward
Out of the silence
I come to you,
Bringing a love
Free as the dew.
