Charles Hanson Towne Faith Poems
- 1. The Quiet Singer
(Ave! Francis Thompson)
He had been singing-but I had not heard his voice;
... - 2. The City
When, sick of all the sorrow and distress
That flourished in the City like foul weeds,
I sought blue rivers and green, opulent meads,
And leagues of unregarded loneliness

Sad folk, bad folk, and many a glowing lover;
Wise people, simple people, children of despair-
Roof-tops, roof-tops, hiding pain and care.
