...I stood ready there, watching his eyes,
And the tears running out of them. They made 
Me sick, those tears; for I knew, miserably, 
They were not there for any pain he felt. 
I do not think he felt the pain at all. 
He felt the blow.… Oh, the whole thing was bad—
So bad that even the bleaching suns and rains 
Of years that wash away to faded lines, 
Or blot out wholly, the sharp wrongs and ills 
Of youth, have had no cleansing agent in them 
To dim the picture. I still see hi...Read more of this...

...00a)

He discovered at once that some human
had tampered with the high-treasures, the gold.
The hoard-warden waited miserably
until the evening came—the barrow-watcher
was swollen at heart. The loathsome one wished
to requite his precious drinking-cup with fire.
Then the day darkened, to the delight of the dragon.
He did not want to wait for long by the wall,
but rushed out in flames, coursing afire.
The start of that feud was terrible
for the folk on the land, th...Read more of this...

...or the new.
You will not find it there but in
 despised poems.
 It is difficult
to get the news from poems
 yet men die miserably every day
 for lack
of what is found there.
 Hear me out
 for I too am concerned
and every man
 who wants to die at peace in his bed

...Who Slammed Doors For Fun And Perished Miserably

A trick that everyone abhors
In little girls is slamming doors.
A wealthy banker's little daughter
Who lived in Palace Green, Bayswater
(By name Rebecca Offendort),
Was given to this furious sport.

She would deliberately go
And slam the door like billy-o!
To make her uncle Jacob start.
She was not really bad at heart,
But only rather rude and wil...Read more of this...

...g. The lacquer stand had stains
Ugly and charred all over, and where the golden pear
Had been, a deep, black hole gaped miserably. His dear
Treasures were puffs of ashes; only the stones were there,
Winking in the brightness.

The clock upon the stair
Struck five, and in the kitchen someone shook a grate.
The Boy began to dress, for it was getting late....Read more of this...

...
 Brides are not what they seem; 
Thou lovest what thou dreamest her; 
 I am thy very dream!" 

- "O then," I answered miserably, 
 Speaking as scarce I knew, 
"My loved one, I must wed with thee 
 If what thou say'st be true!" 

She, proudly, thinning in the gloom: 
 "Though, since troth-plight began, 
I've ever stood as bride to groom, 
 I wed no mortal man!" 

Thereat she vanished by the Cross 
 That, entering Kingsbere town, 
The two long lanes form, near the fosse

...nds, behind his sordid bars,
Surely he hath his posies, which they tear and twine;
Those scentless wisps of straw, that miserably line
His strait, caged universe, whereat the dull world stares,

Pedant and pitiful. O, how his rapt gaze wars
With their stupidity! Know they what dreams divine
Lift his long, laughing reveries like enchanted wine,
And make his melancholy germane to the stars'?

O lamentable brother! if those pity thee,
Am I not fain of all thy lone eyes promise m...Read more of this...

...elievable
As if the toe-nails were all just torn off.
I stare at it in hatred. Beyond it
The copse hisses - capitulates miserably
In the fleeing, failing light. Starlings,
A dirtier sleetier snow, blow smokily, unendingly, over
Towards plantations Eastward.
All the time the tractor is sinking
Through the degrees, deepening
Into its hell of ice. 

The starting lever
Cracks its action, like a snapping knuckle.
The battery is alive - but like a lamb
Trying to nudge its solid-fro...Read more of this...
