Kathleen Jessie Raine Sun Poems
- 1. A Spell For Creation
Within the flower there lies a seed,
Within the seed there springs a tree,
Within the tree there spreads a wood.
... - 2. Heroes
This war's dead heroes, who has seen them?
They rise in smoke above the burning city,
Faint clouds, dissolving into sky â??
... - 3. Vegetation
O never harm the dreaming world,
the world of green, the world of leaves,
but let its million palms unfold
the adoration of the trees.
... - 4. The River
In my first sleep
I came to the river
And looked down
Through the clear water -
... - 5. Lament
Where are those dazzling hills touched by the sun,
Those crags in childhood that I used to climb?
Hidden, hidden under mist is yonder mountain,
Hidden is the heart.
... - 6. Seed
From star to star, from sun and spring and leaf,
And almost audible flowers whose sound is silence,
And in the common meadows, springs the seed of life.
... - 7. Love Poem

... - 8. Far-darting Apollo
I saw the sun step like a gentleman
Dressed in black and proud as sin.
I saw the sun walk across London
Like a young M. P., risen to the occasion.
... - 9. Change
Change
Said the sun to the moon,
You cannot stay.
