Josephine Preston Peabody Golden Poems

  • 1.
    I

    Over the broken world, the dark gone by,
    Horror of outcast darkness torn with wars;
    ...
  • 2.
    Oh, who will hush that cry outside the doors,
    While we are glad within?
    Go forth, go forth, all you my servitors;
    (And gather close, my kin.)
    ...
  • 3.
    Light, light,--the last:
    Till the night be done,
    Keep the watch for stars and sun, and eyelids over-cast.

    ...
  • 4.

    The roads are blind with storm.
    And it's far and far away with me;
    So bide you there, stay warm.

    Beautiful Mother, I have toiled all day;
    And I am wearied. And the day is done.
    Now, while the wild brooks run
    Soft by the furrows--fading, gold to gray,

    From where Salerno day-dreams in the noon,
    And the far rose of Pæstum once did climb.
    ...
