Marching out of the cloaked shires
Of landowners, stockbrokers, 
Hereditary Peers, and ruddy faced

Behind nodding sighs and hushed 
Whispers, 
The Masonic...

which did not seem very much attainable to her family! 

She had a captivating singing voice -
people called her "Myna of Srinagar", 
in the valley of Kashmir! 
But she coveted for...

can you imagine yourself a young girl from Nighastan?
who is thirteen, and never stepped foot in regular school?

Fishing through any needy soul
For God's only purpose
We search for the goal
On Hideous bible planes we reach

Cry and teach 

We are far gone
In whiskey and gin
strangers long for
Sweet brandy and sin
But...

Let dead rocks of reason lie on the way,
Let all logic, all do's and don'ts lie still,
The rules of grammar gathered yesterday,
Of metre and foot, let them let-down feel
If lines river-like flow to move ahead,

Revelation in its plainest form,
Glory revealed before the naked eyes;
To whom is this understanding granted?
Oh behold Him on the mount of holiness—
Oh behold the transfigured Christ!

Pretend, in passing, to be free

Before the...

Rejoice, the soul is alive

The sight of star-spangled skies if at night
Drench you deep with wonderment of a child,
And that of dark skies, with the same delight,
And if this unknown joy be no less wild;

What, No Butterflies?

Come walk with me in morning
When life is fresh and new,
When sunlight gilds the waking trees,
And grass brings forth the dew.

Accompany me at noontide
When the world is plainest seen,
And colors catch and hold...

I know if I could ever reach you,

i'd come to say I'd love to meet you...

In the days that lie beneath the open face,

in the simplest ways we live in our craze-
and the wildest braves...

on warm May days, and flowers I can see.
So many lovelies – for my eyes a treat.
But they are not all in my memory
engrained, so how they look...

A great wonder Kim’s legs still carried him.
A lot in Sam’s remarks still worried him:
The Sam who’d been watching Dolly and Kim
Right from the day Kim was trapped by The Slim!

She was the plainest buzzard in the chicken coop.
Man, is she plain, the roosters used to say.
But one rooster gave her a chance. They shared a nest.
She had diamonds in her heart. He told people

Dressed in rag with a face of stone, 
A smile you would ignore,
Was all she thought she ever was, 
Was all she ever saw,

But to me she dressed in sheets of velvet, 
She sauntered through...
