Bernard O'dowd Life Poems
- 1. Prosperity
Enlaced with gardened jewelry
My basking villas nest
Where sifted sunshine soothes the eye
And cosy hillocks rest.
... - 2. The Bush
I wonder if the spell, the mystery,
That like a haze about your silence clings,
Moulding your void until we seem to see
Tangible Presences of Deathless Things,
... - 3. Love And Sacrifice
CAN we not consecrate
To man and God above
This volume of our great
Supernal tide of love?
... - 4. Young Democracy
HARK! Young Democracy from sleep
Our careless sentries raps:
A backwash from the Futureâ??s deep
Our Evilâ??s foreland laps.
... - 5. Dominions Of The Boundary
The Survival Of The Gods
1 Twilight
... - 6. Proletaria
THE SUNNY rounds of Earth contain
An obverse to its Day,
Our fertile Vagrancyâ??s domain,
Wan Proletaria.
... - 7. Evensong
There was a time we had the power
To build with Silent Thought
The perfect heaven-reaching tower,
As ancient seers have taught.
