Robert Laurence Binyon Poems
- The Seasons' Comfort
O Summer sun, O moving trees!
O cheerful human noise, O busy glittering street!
What hour shall Fate in all the future find,
Or what delights, ever to equal these: ... - The Tiger-lily
What wouldst thou with me? By what spell
My spirit allure, absorb, compel?
The last long beam that thou didst drink
Is buried now on evening's brink.... - To A Solitary Fir-tree
Fir, that on this moor austere,
Without kin or neighbour near,
Utterest now bleak winter's moan
As if its vext soul were thine own!... - The Golden Gallery At Saint Paul's
The Golden Gallery lifts its aery crown
O'er dome and pinnacle: there I leaned and gazed.
Is this indeed my own familiar town,
This busy dream? Beneath me spreading hazed... - Tristram's End
I
Tristram lies sick to death;
Dulled is his kingly eye,
Listless his famed right arm: earth--weary breath...
