Maurice Henry Hewlett Earth Poems
- 1. Gnatho
Gnatho, Satyr, homing at dusk,
Trotting home like a tired dog,
By mountain slopes 'twixt the junipers
And flamed oleanders near the sea,
... - 2. To The Gods Of The Country
Sun and Moon, shine upon me;
Make glad my days and clear my nights!
O Earth, whose child I am,
... - 3. The Saints' Maying
Since green earth is awake
Let us now pastime take,
Not serving wantonness
Too well, nor niggardness,
... - 4. Dedication
Love owes tribute unto Death,
Being but a flower of breath,
Ev'n as thy fair body is
Moment's figure of the bliss
... - 5. Oreithyia
Oreithyia, by the North Wind carried
To stormy Thrace from Athens where you tarried
Down by Ilissus all a blowy day
Among the asphodels, how rapt away
... - 6. Hypsipyle
Queen of the shadows, Maid and Wife,
Twifold in essence, as in life,
The lamp of Death, the star of Birth,
Half cradled and half mourned by Earth,
... - 7. The Village Wife's Lament
