Zora Bernice May Cross Sweet Poems

• 1. Memory
  Late, late last night, when the whole world slept,
  Along to the garden of dreams I crept.
  And I pulled the bell of an old, old house
  Where the moon dipped down like a little white mouse.
  ...
• 2. Love Sonnet Xxviii
  Give me a child!! Dear Heart, we have loved long,
  Draining each otherâ??s sweetness to the last
  Wild drops of honeyed madness falling fast
  Upon our limbs in ecstasies of song.
  ...
• 3. The New Moon
  What have you got in your knapsack fair,
  White moon, bright moon, pearling the air,
  Spinning your bobbins and fabrics free,
  Fleet moon, sweet moon, in to the sea?
  ...
• 4. Love Sonnet Xv

  More sweet than earthly things, more precious rare,
  Hiding its fragrance in my loosened hair
  And folding up my body like a scroll.
  ...
• 5. Love Sonnet Xvii

  And dull my senses till they seemed to die.
  ...

  Need mothering myself this tired hour,
  As heavily the sweet and precious power
  Weighs on my heart till I am near to swoon.
  ...
• 7. Love Sonnet Liv
  What have you more than I, who crave you so?
  Have I not hands and feet and thoughts to tell?
  All my sweet senses and fine dreams that swell
  Rich with contentments that the star-winds blow?
  ...
• 8. Elegy On An Australian Schoolboy
  I would not curse your England, wise as slow,
  Just as unjust in deed.
  I can believe that from her heart may flow
  The truest human creed.
  ...
• 9. Sonnet Of Motherhood Viii
  Make me the melody of meeting palms,
  The roundelay of little running feet.
  Strike me a measure to a trembling sweet
  Of the mouth-s laughter and the fingers- psalms.
