God Neither Known Nor Loved By The World

Which shall be loudest in our Maker's praise!
In quest of some forlorn retreat I rove,
For all the world is blind, and wanders from his ways.

Lose Her beauty in time.

And summer's lease hath all too short a date.

And the cloudy days of autumn and of winter cometh on
I tried to call them back but unbidden they are gone
Far away from heart and eye and for ever far away

Venus And Adonis
Even as the sun with purple-coloured face
Had ta'en his last leave of the weeping morn,
Rose-cheeked Adonis hied him to the chase;
Hunting he loved, but love he laughed to scorn.

From bands of greedy heirs be free;
For these besiege the latest breath
Of fortune's favoured sons, not me.

Over dome and column, up empty, endless street;

A clamor of frosty sirens mourns at the night.
