Rose Hawthorne Lathrop Cold Poems
1. The Roads That Meet
ART.
One is so fair, I turn to go,
...
2. Pride: Fate
Lullaby on the wing
Of my song, O my own!
Soft airs of evening
Join my song's murmuring tone.
...
3. A Ballad Of The Mist
"I love the Lady of Merle," he said.
"She is not for thee!" her suitor cried.
And in the valley the lovers fought
By the salt river's tide.
...
4. In The Artillery
We are moving on in silence,
Save for rattling iron and steel,
And a skirmish echoing round us,
Showering faintly, peal on peal.
...
5. The Girls We Might Have Wed

A dirge for myriad chances dead;
In grief your mournful accents merge:
Sing, sing the girls we might have wed!
...
6. A Youth's Suicide
He handed his life a poisoned draught,
With a scornful smile and a cold, cold glance,
And the merry bystanders loudly laughed
(For the rollicking world was gay!).
...
7. The Dreaming Wheel
Down slant the moonbeams to the floor
Through the garret's scented air,
And show a thin-spoked spinning-wheel,
Standing ten years and more
...
8. The Outgoing Race
The mothers wish for no more daughters;
There is no future before them.
They bow their heads and their pride
At the end of the many tribes' journey.
...
9. Neither!
So ancient to myself I seem,
I might have crossed grave Styx's stream
A year ago; -
My word, 'tis so; -
...

Poem of the day
In Memoriam A. H. H. OBIIT MDCCCXXXIII: Part 073
by Alfred Lord Tennyson
So many worlds, so much to do,
So little done, such things to be,
How know I what had need of thee,
For thou wert strong as thou wert true?
The fame is quench'd that I foresaw,
The head hath miss'd an earthly wreath:
I curse not nature, no, nor death;
