Some things sometimes feel like a black hole
A dream that cannot be shaken off
Yet we depend on it to survive
Love is a feeling that connects hearts

Sleep, let me sleep, for I am sick of care;

With drowsy incense; let a distant stream

So that the white in me turns black
Before I shed off a single milk teeth
If I vacate that soothsome seat

Macdougal Street

As I went walking up and down to take the evening air,
(Sweet to meet upon the street, why must I be so shy?)
I saw him lay his hand upon her torn black hair;

In School-days

Still sits the school-house by the road,
A ragged beggar sleeping;
Around it still the sumachs grow,
And blackberry-vines are creeping.

Barnacled white and weeded brown
And slimed beneath to a beautiful green,
These wet rocks where the tide went down

Still Here

I still remember the day I saw you
What you wore how you looked
And I did some stupid things I can't lie
Maybe because I was still but a child

The Cuckoo-clock

Wouldst thou be taught, when sleep has taken flight,
By a sure voice that can most sweetly tell,
How far off yet a glimpse of morning light,
And if to lure the truant back be well,

A cry of terror in the night;
A ship on work of mercy bentâ??
A carrier of the sick and maimedâ??

Sonnet 002: When Forty Winters Shall Besiege Thy Brow

And dig deep trenches in thy beauty's field,
Thy youth's proud livery so gazed on now,
Will be a tattered weed of small worth held.

Poor Robin

Now when the primrose makes a splendid show,
And lilies face the March-winds in full blow,
And humbler growths as moved with one desire
Put on, to welcome spring, their best attire,

I almost laugh myself to death,
My life has been one great big joke,
A dance that's walked

And made dust and dropped stove-length sticks of wood,
Sweet-scented stuff when the breeze drew across it.
And from there those that lifted eyes could count

The moon is faithful, although blind;
She moves in thought she cannot speak.
Perfect care has made her bleak.

The Norman Boy

High on a broad unfertile tract of forest-skirted Down,
Nor kept by Nature for herself, nor made by man his own,
From home and company remote and every playful joy,
Served, tending a few sheep and goats, a ragged Norman Boy.

To take in with greed, like a forest fire that
Consumes and with each killing gains a wilder,
Brighter charm, all that comes my way. Bald child in

The Scholars

"Oh, show me how a rose can shut and be a bud again!"

And entered them at the landward schools as though no war had been.

Your feet must struggle; in such bold ascent

Sonnet 017: Who Will Believe My Verse In Time To Come

If it were filled with your most high deserts?
Though yet heaven knows it is but as a tomb
Which hides your life, and shows not half your parts:

As a star in any game.

And should have come to grief,

A fool beyond belief.

Or else receiv'st with pleasure thine annoy?

On her milk-white twinkling feet.

For there the flags of hate are furled,
And there the imps of wickedness
Cause neither sorrow nor distress.

Everything else withered and mummy-dead.
