Over the wintry  

Over the wintry
forest, winds howl in rage
with no leaves to blow.

Lament  

 How I loathe this land of my exile,

Concrete upon concrete,

Steel upon steel,

Glass upon glass

In massed battalions

And no way back.

My mind moves to a far-off place

To a hill-top where the wind is my succour,

Its blow and howl and rage

Over the springing turf and heather

Calms as the song of a mother

And the last light’s glimmer.

425. Song—Had I a cave  

 HAD I a cave on some wild distant shore,
Where the winds howl to the wave’s dashing roar:
 There would I weep my woes,
 There seek my lost repose,
 Till grief my eyes should close,
 Ne’er to wake more!


Falsest of womankind, can’st thou declare
All thy fond, plighted vows fleeting as air!
 To thy new lover hie,
 Laugh o’er thy perjury;
 Then in thy bosom try
 What peace is there!

64. Fragment of Song—'My Jean!'  

 THO’ cruel fate should bid us part,
 Far as the pole and line,
Her dear idea round my heart,
 Should tenderly entwine.
Tho’ mountains, rise, and deserts howl,
 And oceans roar between;
Yet, dearer than my deathless soul,
 I still would love my Jean.

There was an Old Man with an Owl  

There was an Old Man with an Owl,Who continued to bother and howl;He sat on a rail, and imbibed bitter ale,Which refreshed that Old Man and his Owl.
