Henry Treece Black Poems

  • 1.
    The old ones knew that black was hate,
    White garment purity and red one sin;
    They spoke the language of the trees
    And opened veins to let love in.

    They shall come in the black weathers
    From the heart of the dead embers,

    Ripped and let dropp a heart stuck full of swords.

  • 6.
    Through the dark aisles of the wood
    Where the pine-needles deaden all sound
    And the dove flutters in the black boughs
