Mary Elizabeth Coleridge Away Poems
- 1. Chillingham
I
Through the sunny garden
The humming bees are still;
The fir climbs the heather,
... - 2. The Train
A green eye-and a red-in the dark.
Thunder-smoke-and a spark.
It is there-it is here-flashed by.
... - 3. Unwelcome
|WE were young, we were merry, we were very very wise,
And the door stood open at our feast,
When there passed us a woman with the West in her eyes,
And a man with his back to the East.
... - 4. Our Lady
MOTHER of God! no lady thou:
Common woman of common earth
Our Lady ladies call thee now,
But Christ was never of gentle birth;
... - 5. Larghetto
Grant me but a day, love,
But a day,
Ere I give my heart,
My heart away,
...
