Leaves

...t below the bitter snow,
 Uncomforted.

A leaf's a life, and one by one
 They drift each darkling day;
Rare friends who lusted in the sun
 Are frailing fast away . . . 
How sadly soon will mourn the moon
 My dark decay!...Read more of this...

Middle Passage

...spoon-fashion there; 
that some went mad of thirst and tore their flesh 
and sucked the blood: 

"That Crew and Captain lusted with the comeliest 
of the savage girls kept naked in the cabins; 
that there was one they called The Guinea Rose 
and they cast lots and fought to lie with her: 

"That when the Bo's'n piped all hands, the flames 
spreading from starboard already were beyond 
control, the ******* howling and their chains 
entangled with the flames:

Pelleas And Ettarre

...law! 
For why should I have loved her to my shame? 
I loathe her, as I loved her to my shame. 
I never loved her, I but lusted for her-- 
Away--' 
He dashed the rowel into his horse, 
And bounded forth and vanished through the night. 

Then she, that felt the cold touch on her throat, 
Awaking knew the sword, and turned herself 
To Gawain: `Liar, for thou hast not slain 
This Pelleas! here he stood, and might have slain 
Me and thyself.' And he that tells the tale 
Says that ...Read more of this...

And thousand other wayes, to bait his fleshly hookes.

Inconstant man, that loved all he saw,
And lusted after all, that he did love,
Ne would his looser life be tide to law,
But joyd weake wemens hearts to tempt, and prove
If from their loyall loves he might them move;
Which lewdnesse fild him with reprochfull paine
Of that fowle evill, which all men reprove,
That rots the marrow, and consumes the braine:

The Tramps

...d God's land together,
 And we sang the old, old Earth-song, for our youth was very sweet;
When we drank and fought and lusted, as we mocked at tie and tether,
 Along the road to Anywhere, the wide world at our feet --

Along the road to Anywhere, when each day had its story;
 When time was yet our vassal, and life's jest was still unstale;
When peace unfathomed filled our hearts as, bathed in amber glory,
 Along the road to Anywhere we watched the sunsets pale?

With Scindia to Delphi

...wn, but not alone were we.

'Twas Lutuf-Ullah Populzai laid horse upon our track,
 A swine-fed reiver of the North that lusted for the maid;
I might have barred his path awhile, but Scindia called me back,
 And I -- O woe for Scindia! -- I listened and obeyed.

League after league the formless scrub took shape and glided by --
 League after league the white road swirled behind the white mare's feet --
League after league, when leagues were done, we heard the Populzai,
