Book overview
ReviewsEditorial Review - Kirkus Reviews Copyright (c) VNU Business Media, Inc. Interspersed among the poems are fourteen full-page ink drawings, somewhat heavy in style and somber in mood. Several show couples in various states of decorous affection and one unfortunate efflorescence is literally that: accompanying ""The rose-lipt girls are sleeping/ In fields where roses fade"" is a rose bush apparently sprouting heavy-lidded heads. They do have a fin de siecle steaminess, maybe too much. Related books

Twenty will not come again, And take from seventy springs a score, It only leaves me fifty more. And since to look at things in bloom Fifty springs are little room. About the woodlands I will go To see the cherry hung with snow. Page iv Therefore, since the world has still Much good, but much less good than ill, And while the sun and moon endure Luck's a chance, but trouble's sure, I'd face it as a wise man would, And train for ill and not for good. Page 43 On Wenlock Edge the wood's in trouble, His forest fleece the Wrekin heaves; The gale, it plies the saplings double, And thick on Severn snow the leaves. Twould blow like this through holt and hanger When Uricon the city stood: Tis the old wind in the old anger, But then it threshed another wood. Page 21 Is football playing Along the river shore, With lads to chase the leather, Now I stand up no more?" Aye, the ball is flying, The lads play heart and soul; The goal stands up, the keeper Stands up to keep the goal. "Is my girl happy, That I thought hard to leave, And has she tired of weeping As she lies down at eve? Page 18 ... twas before my time, the Roman At yonder heaving hill would stare; The blood that warms an English yeoman, The thoughts that hurt him, they were there. There, like the wind through woods in riot, Through him the gale of life blew high; The tree of man was never quiet: Then 'twas the Roman, now 'tis I. Page 21 With rue my heart is laden For golden friends I had, For many a rose-lipt maiden And many a lightfoot lad. By brooks too broad for leaping The lightfoot boys are laid; The rose-lipt girls are sleeping In fields where roses fade. Page 38 From Clee to heaven the beacon burns, The shires have seen it plain, From north and south the sign returns And beacons burn again. Look left, look right, the hills are bright, The dales are light between, Because 'tis fifty years tonight That God has saved the Queen. Now, when the flame they watch not towers About the soil they trod, 10 Lads, we'll remember friends of ours Who shared the work with God. Page iii Shot? so quick, so clean an ending? Oh that was right, lad, that was brave: Yours was not an ill for mending, Twas best to take it to the grave. Page 31 I hoed and trenched and weeded, And took the flowers to fair: I brought them home unheeded; The hue was not the wear. So up and down I sow them For lads like me to find, When I shall lie below them, A dead man out of mind. Page 44 When I was one-and-twenty I heard a wise man say, "Give crowns and pounds and guineas But not your heart away ; Give pearls away and rubies But keep your fancy free." But I was one-and-twenty, No use to talk to me. When I was one-and-twenty I heard him say again, "The heart out of the bosom Was never given in vain ; 'Tis paid with sighs a-plenty And sold for endless rue. Page 10 Other editions
