A Birthday
My heart is like a singing bird
Whose heart is in a watered shoot.
...
If I May Have It
If I may have it when it’s dead
I will contented be;
...
My Pretty Rose Tree
A flower was offered to me:
Such a flower as May never bore.
...
I Gave Myself To Him
I gave myself to him
And took himself for pay.
...
Reluctance
Out through the fields and the woods
And over the walls I have wended;
...
Beautiful Dreamer
Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
...
Who Ever Felt as I
Mother, I cannot mind my wheel;
My fingers ache, my lips are dry.
...
Sonnets from the Portuguese, XIV
If thou must love me, let it be for nought
Except for love's sake only. Do not say
...
Music, When Soft Voices Die
Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory --
...
Come Slowly
Come slowly, Eden
Lips unused to thee.
...
