John Myers O'hara Poems
- In Patris Mei Memoriam
By the fond name that was his own and mine,
The last upon his lips that strove with doom,
He called me and I saw the light assume
A sudden glory and around him shine;... - Golden Pulse
Golden pulse grew on the shore,
Ferns along the hill,
And the red cliff roses bore
Bees to drink their fill;... - Atropos
Atropos, dread
One of the Three,
Holding the thread
Woven for me;... - Ad Matrem Amantissimam Et Carissimam Filii In Æternum Fidelitas
With all the fairest angels nearest God,
The ineffable true of heart around the throne,
There shall I find you waiting when the flown
Dream leaves my heart insentient as the clod;... - A Faun In Wall Street
What shape so furtive steals along the dim
Bleak street, barren of throngs, this day of June;
This day of rest, when all the roses swoon
In Attic vales where dryads wait for him?...
