Richard Aldington White Poems
- 1. The Faun Sees Snow For The First Time
Zeus,
Brazen-thunder-hurler,
Cloud-whirler, son-of-Kronos,
Send vengeance on these Oreads
... - 2. Bombardment
Four days the earth was rent and torn
By bursting steel,
The houses fell about us;
Three nights we dared not sleep,
... - 3. Childhood
I
The bitterness. the misery, the wretchedness of childhood
Put me out of love with God.
... - 4. The Poplar
Why do you always stand there shivering
Between the white stream and the road?
The people pass through the dust
... - 5. Lemures
In Nineveh
And beyond Nineveh
In the dusk
They were afraid.
