Delilah

...ws.

He praised her "queenly beauty" first; and, later on, he hinted
At the "vastness of her intellect" with compliment unstinted.
He went with her a-riding, and his love for her was such
That he lent her all his horses and -- she galled them very much.

One day, THEY brewed a secret of a fine financial sort;
It related to Appointments, to a Man and a Report.
'Twas almost wortth the keeping, -- only seven people knew it --
And Gunne rose up to seek the truth and patiently ens...Read more of this...

In an Old Farmhouse

...that held in fee 
Many a season's rare alchemy, 
And the glow and gladness without a name 
That dwells in the deeps of unstinted flame. 

Gather we now round the opulent blaze
With the face that loves and the heart that rejoices, 
Dream we once more of the old-time days,
Listen once more to the old-time voices! 
From the clutch of the cities and paths of the sea 
We have come again to our own roof-tree, 
And forgetting the loves of the stranger lands 
We yearn for the clasp ...Read more of this...

Look Down Fair Moon

...s floods, on faces ghastly, swollen, purple; 
On the dead, on their backs, with their arms toss’d wide, 
Pour down your unstinted nimbus, sacred moon....Read more of this...

Loves Prayer

...m the lingering stain 
Of passion's dregs, by penitential pain. 

Take thou it, then, and fill it up for me 
With thine unstinted love, and it shall be 
An earthy chalice that is made divine 
By its red draught of sacramental wine....Read more of this...

Now Listen to Me and Ill Tell You My Views

...
But it's better not ask any questions at all -- let us silence all doubts with a shriek!) 
And first let us shriek the unstinted abuse that the Tory Press prefer -- 
De Wet is a madman, and Steyn is a liar, and Kruger a pitiful cur! 
(Though I think if Oom Paul -- as old as he is -- were to walk down the Strand with his gun, 
A lot of these heroes would hide in the sewers or take to their heels and run! 
For Paul he has fought like a man in his day, but now that he's feeble ...Read more of this...

Song of the Artesian Water

...on-gallon flow. 
And it's down, deeper down -- 
Oh, it comes from deeper down; 
It is flowing, ever flowing, in a free, unstinted measure 
From the silent hidden places where the old earth hides her treasure -- 
Where the old earth hides her treasures deeper down. 

And it's clear away the timber, and it's let the water run: 
How it glimmers in the shadow, how it flashes in the sun! 
By the silent bells of timber, by the miles of blazing plain 
It is bringing hope and comfort...Read more of this...

To Ye Kings

.... 
 
 On the eve of that day of their evenings the last! 
 At the gates of their dungeon a gorgeous repast, 
 Rich, unstinted, unpriced, 
 That the doomed might (forsooth) gather strength ere they bled, 
 With an ignorant pity the jailers would spread 
 For the martyrs of Christ. 
 
 Oh, 'twas strange for a pupil of Paul to recline 
 On voluptuous couch, while Falernian wine 
 Fill'd his cup to the brim! 
 Dulcet music of Greece, Asiatic repose, 
 Spicy fragrance...Read more of this...
