Thomas Runciman Grass Poems
- 1. And There Shall Be No Night There And They
"And there shall be no night there and they
need no candle, and neither light of the sun;
for the Lord God giveth them Light."
... - 2. Song
My love's unchanged - though time, alas!
Turns silver-gilt the golden mass
Of flowing hair, and pales, I wis,
The rose that deepened with that kiss -
... - 3. Sonnet
He comes to me like air on parching grass;
His eyes are wells where truth lives, found at last;
Summer is fragrant should he this way pass;
His calm love is a chain that binds me fast....
... - 4. What Though My Voice Cease Like A Moan O' The Wind?
What though my voice cease like a moan o' the wind?
Not the less shall I
Cast on this life a kindly eye,
Glad if through its mystery
... - 5. Your Place Is Heaven, A Stormless Nightless Home?
“And there shall be no night there and they
need no candle, and neither light of the sun;
for the Lord God giveth them Light.”
... - 6. What Though My Voice Cease Like A Moan O' The Wind?
What though my voice cease like a moan o' the wind?
Not the less shall I
Cast on this life a kindly eye,
Glad if through its mystery
... - 7. My Love's Unchanged'though Time, Alas
My love's unchanged-though time, alas!
Turns silver-gilt the golden mass
Of flowing hair, and pales, I wis,
The rose that deepened with that kiss-
... - 8. He Comes To Me Like Air On Parching Grass
He comes to me like air on parching grass;
His eyes are wells where truth lives, found at last;
Summer is fragrant should he this way pass;
His calm love is a chain that binds me fast….
