William Kerr Soft Poems
- 1. Counting Sheep
Half-awake I walked
A dimly-seen sweet hawthorn lane
Until sleep came;
I lingered at a gate and talked
... - 2. Her New-year Posy
When I seek the world through
For images of you,
Though apple-blossom is glad
And the lily stately-sad,
... - 3. The Apple Tree
Secret and wise as nature, like the wind
Melancholy or light-hearted without reason,
And like the waxing or the waning moon
Ever pale and lovely: you are like these
...
