Robert Bridges Poems

  • 1.
    The day begins to droop,-
    Its course is done:
    But nothing tells the place
    Of the setting sun.
    ...
  • 2.
    When Death to either shall come,-
    I pray it be first to me,-
    Be happy as ever at home,
    If so, as I wish, it be.

  • 3.
    Angel spirits of sleep,
    White-robed, with silver hair,
    In your meadows fair,
    Where the willows weep,
    ...
  • 4.
    Sense with keenest edge unusèd,
    Yet unsteel'd by scathing fire;
    Lovely feet as yet unbruisèd
    On the ways of dark desire;

    Perfect little body, without fault or stain on thee,
    With promise of strength and manhood full and fair!

    The bloom and the charm of life doth awhile remain on thee.
    ...

    And bright in the fruitful valleys the streams, wherefrom
    Ye learn your song:
    Where are those starry woods? O might I wander there,

  • 7.
    My delight and thy delight

    Full three days were not sped,
    I caught my fancy astray
    Thinking if she were dead,
    ...
  • 9.
    Whither, O splendid ship, thy white sails crowding,
    Leaning across the bosom of the urgent West,
    That fearest nor sea rising, nor sky clouding,
    Whither away, fair rover, and what thy quest?
    ...

Andrew Lang Poem
Ballade Of The Midnight Forest
 by Andrew Lang

Still sing the mocking fairies, as of old,
Beneath the shade of thorn and holly-tree;
The west wind breathes upon them, pure and cold,
And wolves still dread Diana roaming free
In secret woodland with her company.
