Plain Tales From the HillsA
-
Look you have cast out Love What Gods are theseB
You bid me pleaseB
The Three in One the One in Three Not soC
To my own Gods I goC
It may be they shall give me greater easeB
Than your cold Christ and tangled TrinitiesB
LispethD
-
When the earth was sick and the skies were greyE
And the woods were rotted with rainF
The Dead Man rode through the autumn dayE
To visit his love againG
-
His love she neither saw nor heardH
So heavy was her shameI
And tho' the babe within her stirredH
She knew not that he cameI
The Other ManJ
-
Cry Murder in the market place and eachK
Will turn upon his neighbour anxious eyesB
Asking Art thou the man We hunted CainF
Some centuries ago across the worldL
This bred the fear our own misdeeds maintainF
To dayE
His Wedded WifeM
-
-
Go stalk the red deer o'er the heatherN
Ride follow the fox if you canJ
But for pleasure and profit togetherN
Allow me the hunting of ManJ
The chase of the Human the search for the SoulO
To its ruin the hunting of ManJ
PigP
-
'Stopped in the straight when the race was his ownQ
Look at him cutting it cur to the boneQ
Ask ere the youngster be rated and chiddenQ
What did he carry and how was he riddenQ
May be they used him too much at the startR
May be Fate's weight cloth are breaking his heartR
In the Pride of his YouthD
-
-
And some are sulky while some will plungeS
So ho Steady Stand still youT
Some you must gentle and some you must lungeS
There There Who wants to kill youT
Some there are losses in every tradeU
Wll break their hearts ere bitted and madeU
Will fight like fiends as the rope cuts hardV
And die dumb mad in the breaking yardV
Thrown AwayE
-
The World hath set its heavy yokeW
Upon the old white bearded folkW
Who strive to please the KingX
God's mercy is upon the youngY
God's wisdom in the baby tongueY
That fears not anythingX
Tod's AmendmentZ
-
Not though you die to night Sweet and wailA2
A spectre at my doorB2
Shall mortal Fear make Love immortal failA2
I shall but love you moreB2
Who from Death's House returning give me stillC2
One moment's comfort in my matchless illC2
By Word of MouthD
-
They burnt a corpse upon the sandD2
The light shone out afarE2
It guided home the plunging dhowsB
That beat from ZanzibarE2
Spirit of Fire where'er Thy altars riseB
Thou art the Light of Guidance to our eyesB
In ErrorN
-
Ride with an idle whip ride with an unused heelF2
But once in a way there will come a dayE
When the colt must be taught to feelF2
The lash that falls and the curb that galls and the sting of the rowelled steelF2
The Conversion of Aurelian McGogginQ
-
It was not in the open fightG2
We threw away the swordH2
But in the lonely watchingX
In the darkness by the fordH2
The waters lapped the night wind blewT
Full armed the Fear was born and grewT
And we were flying ere we knewT
From panic in the nightG2
The Rout of the White HussarsB
-
In the daytime when she moved about meI2
In the night when she was sleeping at my sideJ2
I was wearied I was wearied of her presenceB
Day by day and night by night I grew to hate herN
Would God that she or I had diedJ2
The Bronckhorst Divorce CaseB
-
A stone's throw out on either handD2
From that well ordered road we treadK2
And all the world is wild and strangeL2
Churel and ghoul and Djinn and spriteG2
-
-
Shall bear us company to nightG2
For we have reached the Oldest LandD2
Wherein the powers of Darkness rangeL2
In The House of SuddhooM2
-
-
-
To night God knows what thing shall tideJ2
The Earth is racked and fainQ
Expectant sleepless open eyedJ2
And we who from the Earth were madeU
Thrill with our Mother's painQ
False DawnQ
-
-
Pit where the buffalo cooled his hideJ2
By the hot sun emptied and blistered and driedJ2
Log in the plume grass hidden and loneQ
Bund where the earth rat's mounds are strownQ
Cave in the bank where the sly stream stealsB
Aloe that stabs at the belly and heelsB
Jump if you dare on a steed untriedJ2
Safer it is to go wide go wideJ2
Hark from in front where the best men rideJ2
Pull to the off boys Wide Go wideJ2
Cupid's ArrowsB
-
-
He drank strong waters and his speech was coarseB
He purchased raiment and forbore to payE
He stuck a trusting junior with a horseB
And won gymkhanas in a doubtful wayE
Then 'twixt a vice and folly turned asideJ2
To do good deeds and straight to cloak them liedJ2
A Bank FraudN2
