…ith vintage of delight , Poured from inexhaustible jars Quenching dismay . But if man found him in the infinity Beyond the infinities of time and place , The space that is no space , The time that is no time , A Law where Law is not That were a God of certainty , To make each particle of being chime Accordant with its lot . Searching the outer gloom No God I saw ; Only the shadows of my hopes and fears , Imaginary triumph , fancied doom , No higher law Determining the room of space , Ranging the years , Preordaining time and place . Again , aga…

John Alford . Lo, when it shall happen that I am like to die , I shall take me to the top of a mighty mountain at the time of the low sun, And I shall look across the valleys that I have known And shall see the hills that are against me bathed in gold light. And I shall be glad of life, and that the time has come when I may know her whom I have so long desired . And when the sun is no more , my body shall be blown to the four corners of the earth . But I shall be free to mingle with her whom I love . I shall be one for ever with the uttermost p…

Victor B. Neuburg . O dream of the red olden time ! O clash of armour splendid ! A string of wind -begotten rime, And all their pain was ended ! O lonely sea ! O lonely earth ! O dying art of glorious mirth ! My song, my song is little worth To bring their bastard seed to birth ! What need of me in thunder - flash ? What need in battle story ? What need among the whitened ash Of old far - winnowed glory ? They call me not to birth - bed throes ; Invoke me not with gold and rose ; The summer wanes , the summer grows , They call me not from fire …

…utterable Light. Steady of purpose , girt with Truth , I pass, in my eternal youth , And watch the centuries wax and wane ; Untouched by Time's corroding tooth , Silent , immortal , unprofane ! My empire changes not with time. Men 's kingdoms cadent as a rime Move me as waves that rise and fall. They are the parts , that crash or climb ; I only comprehend the All.

Rupert Brooke . KINDLINESS . W HEN love has changed to kindliness V Oh , love, our hungry lips , that press So tight that Time's an old god 's dream Nodding in heaven , and whisper stuff Seven million years were not enough To think on after , make it seem Less than the breath of children playing , A blasphemy scarce worth the saying , A sorry jest , “ When love has grown To kindliness — to kindliness !” . . . And yet — the best that either 's known Will change , and wither , and be less , At last , than comfort , or its own Remembrance . And wh…

… ; the strokes of many twelves From unseen spires mechanically chime, Mingling like echoes , to frustrate themselves ; My soul, remember Time. The tones like smoke into the stillness curl, The slippered hours their placid business ply , And in thy hand there lies occasion 's pearl ; But thou art playing with it absently , And dreaming , like a girl.

INTRODUCTION . | SHALL take it to be conceded , at this time of day, 1 not only that good poetry is worth writing , but that our language has a capacity and our nation a rather special aptitude for it : and these admissions — if the reader will be good enough to make them before starting upon the poems here collected —will excuse together the authors, the anthologist, and the contributor of this short ' Introduction .' For if good poetry be worth writing , the attempt to write it must be worth making : nor does it need a Socratic dialogue to pr…

Amy K . Clarke . And lo ! it fell starlike Trembling to cease In His Infinite gladness Infinite peace . Out of that tremor Time was made, Worlds crept into being Young and afraid . Slowly , by beauty , His creatures grew wise, Slow dawned its wonder On opening eyes . Men watched adoring His waters roll , Deep flowed His colours Through sense and soul . Moan of creation Rapture that stirs — Blindly they learned it, Years upon years . Till clearly one spirit Cried on His Name From all her lovely And earthly frame .

…s at night, alone : I was a poet, I was young . Since I can never see your face, And never shake you by the hand, I send my soul through time and space To greet you . You will understand . TENEBRIS INTERLUCENTEM . A LINNET who had lost her way n Sang on a blackened bough in Hell, Till all the ghosts remembered well The trees , the wind, the golden day . At last they knew that they had died When they heard music in that land , And someone there stole forth a hand To draw a brother to his side .

Norman Davey. “ Crying — 'Oh ! that we might spend less time in this grey ocean friendless, Suffering in torment endless - doomed by a divine decree : Damned , discredited and daunted — fever-ridden , devil haunted By the screeching seagull taunted down the sad Sargasso Sea . " Muttering and moaning ever dismal tales of lost endeavour , Corpses we may not dissever all our shattered decks impede Staring skulls that shine and shimmer : ghastly skeletons that glimmer, As the western sun sinks dimmer in the rank Sargasso weed . “ Lying in a grave u…

J. C. Squire . I cannot sink , I cannot climb, Now that I see my ancient dwelling , The central orb untouched of time, And taste a peace all bliss excelling . Now I have broken Beauty 's wall , Now that my kindred world I hold , I care not though the cities fall And the green earth go cold . THE THREE HILLS . THERE were three hills that stood alone With woods about their feet . They dreamed quiet when the sun shone And whispered when the rain beat . They wore all three their coronals Till men with houses came And scored their heads with pits an…

…e vacuous sky. Earth and air and our souls were faint in the heat of the noonday ; Slower and yet more slow moved your hand in my hair . Time stood still and the sun had paused his path in the heavens , Not a breath in the air ruffled the leaves of the bush . Even our hearts were still and the restless swarm of our kisses Paused and abandoned their flight resting yet on our lips . Yet , as a man in a swoon sees heaven and earth laid before him , Clearly I saw our love binding and making us one .
