42 | 32 |
Wear high and proudly your defeat my heart | 34 |
But how can pride exist between us Love | 36 |
To think that once within these hands was cupped | 38 |
How can I drink of lesser waters I | 40 |
If there be neither Soul nor Life Hereafter | 42 |
How can you prate to me of love when love | 74 |
With the blush of virgin day you shall yet come | 76 |
A fairy died somewhere somehow today | 78 |
If we must part Beloved let us part in peace | 80 |
When we shall part for this we surely shall | 82 |
Farewell my love the end is yet to | 84 |
Dearest I wake The dream is gone and | 86 |
heard the bells of Kyoto ringing clear | 88 |
saw the lights of Hongkong glinting gold | 44 |
Your eyes of velvet Thus you circumscribed | 46 |
Here then your picture Here the kiss that I | 48 |
Your letter came With fumbling fingers cold | 50 |
Beckon with but your eyes and I shall | 52 |
Dearest it is for you alone that I | 54 |
For you have made a fool of me destroyed | 56 |
have but heart to give my precious | 58 |
If beauty excites you then I wish I were | 60 |
So like a startled maya bird away | 62 |
But Love I did not ask that you explain | 64 |
Confused perplexed you watch my eyes grow | 66 |
72 | 68 |
Say not that we are far apart Beloved | 70 |
Across the land and seas that separate | 72 |
Stifle back the sob It is worth naught | 90 |
Who said the mind remembered? Ah no | 92 |
forlorn estranged resigned | 94 |
A world stands between us now Across | 96 |
Confess your love tis all I need to know? | 98 |
Shall I with smile receive your smile my hand | 100 |
Tis not the loss I mourn since I possessed | 102 |
Come come down Heloise for you and I | 104 |
shall not yield although he storms my castle | 106 |
Betrayed the coward heart upon its knees | 108 |
On one another yet we shall in time | 110 |
And yet when all is done why speak of vengeance? | 112 |
Who speaks of death when life is in the offing? | 114 |
