Ridgely Torrence Poems
- 1. The Son
I heard an old farm-wife,
Selling some barley,
Mingle her life with life
And the name “Charley”.
... - 2. The Lesser Children
A Threnody at the Hunting Season
In the middle of August when the southwest wind
... - 3. Eye-witness
Down by the railroad in a green valley
By dancing water, there he stayed awhile
Singing, and three men with him, listeners,
All tramps, all homeless reapers of the wind,
... - 4. Evensong
Beauty calls and gives no warning,
Shadows rise and wander on the day.
In the twilight, in the quiet evening,
We shall rise and smile and go away.
