My poetry

  • Soul Ferry
    High and dry upon the shingle lies the fisher's boat to-night;
    From his roof-beam dankly drooping, raying phosphorescent light,
    28 lines
  • The Angel of Life
    LIFE’S Angel watched a happy child at play,
    Wreathing the riches of the blushing May:
    10 lines
  • Superstites Rosae
    The grass is green upon her grave,
    The west wind whispers low;
    8 lines
