- When this old world was new,
Before the towns were made,24 lines, 4 comments - Bards of the Future! you that come
With striding march, and roll of drum,39 lines, 12 comments - Fame is a food that dead men eat,--
I have no stomach for such meat.12 lines, 2 comments - OUT from the City’s dust and roar,
You wandered through the open door;22 lines, 4 comments - You bid me try, blue-eyes, to write
A Rondeau. What! -- forthwith? -- tonight?10 lines - Old friends are best! And so to you
Again I send, in closer throng,12 lines
