My poetry
- LOVE we the warmth and light of tropic lands,
The strange bright fruit, the feathery fanspread leaves,14 lines - I SAT upon a windy mountain height,
On a huge rock outstanding from the rest;15 lines - COME and kiss me, mistress Beauty,
I will give you all that ’s due t’ye.20 lines - ’T IS Christmas, and the North wind blows; ’t was two years yesterday
Since from the Lusitania’s bows I looked o’er Table Bay,49 lines - You have bearded the lion in his den,
You have singed the original cricket54 lines
