Oui, La Femme, Semblable...
Oui, la femme, semblable au doux Emmanuel,

Sur ce front embaumé d'un parfum immortel.

Along the side-fall of the hill - Maguire and his men.

He paces an inane and pointless path

The Suicide's Argument

And Birds who love the twilight of the leaves,
Let Jesus keep me joyful when I pray.

And how the little room was crammed with coziness and light!

The Curve Of Your Eyes
The curve of your eyes embraces my heart
A ring of sweetness and dance
