My poetry
- HAST thou forgotten me? the days are dark—
Light ebbs from heaven, and songless soars the lark—29 lines - In the warm flushed heart of the rose-red west,
When the great sun quivered and died to-day,20 lines - All my life's short years had been stern and sterile --
I stood like one whom the blasts blow back --32 lines
