William Kerr Poems

  • In Memoriam D. O. M
    Chestnut candles are lit again
    For the dead that died in spring:
    Dead lovers walk the orchard ways,
    And the dead cuckoos sing. ...
  • Counting Sheep

    A dimly-seen sweet hawthorn lane
    Until sleep came;
    I lingered at a gate and talked ...
  • The Audit

    Even the lilies take thought for many things,
    For frost in April and for drought in May,
    And from no careless heart the skylark sings. ...
  • Her New-year Posy
    When I seek the world through
    For images of you,
    Though apple-blossom is glad
    And the lily stately-sad, ...
  • Past And Present
    Daisies are over Nyren, and Hambledon
    Hardly remembers any summer gone:
    And never again the Kentish elms shall see
    Mynn, or Fuller Pilch, or Colin Blythe. ...

And deem to be alone

In such a place, what horror,
