Mary Elizabeth Coleridge White Poems
- 1. Chillingham
I
Through the sunny garden
The humming bees are still;
The fir climbs the heather,
... - 2. 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.
... - 3. Blue And White
BLUE is Our Ladyâ??s colour,
White is Our Lordâ??s.
To-morrow I will wear a knot
Of blue and white cords,
... - 4. A Huguenot
Oh, a gallant set were they,
As they charged on us that day,
A thousand riding like one!
Their trumpets crying,
... - 5. The Witch
I HAVE walked a great while over the snow,
And I am not tall nor strong.
My clothes are wet, and my teeth are set,
And the way was hard and long.
