Ronald Stuart Thomas Time Poems
- 1. Ninetieth Birthday
You go up the long track
That will take a car, but is best walked
On slow foot, noting the lichen
That writes history on the page
... - 2. Evans
Evans? Yes, many a time
I came down his bare flight
Of stairs into the gaunt kitchen
With its wood fire, where crickets sang
... - 3. Album
My father is dead.
I who am look at him
who is not, as once he
went looking for me
... - 4. The Village
Scarcely a street, too few houses
To merit the title; just a way between
The one tavern and the one shop
That leads nowhere and fails at the top
... - 5. Ruins
}

... - 6. The Dance

Your quick limbs, your eyes;
Only the barren homage
Of an old man whom time
... - 7. A Marriage
's moment
in a world in
servitude to time.
She was young;
... - 8. Death Of A Poet
Laid now on his smooth bed
For the last time, watching dully
Through heavy eyelids the day's colour
Widow the sky, what can he say
... - 9. Taliesin

Wondering at the world and at time passing;
I have seen evil, and the light blessing
Innocent love under a spring sky.
