Fand and Other Poems

By William Larminie

“Emer, be proud: what woman e'er
Shall praised above thy glory be,
Since hands immortal could not tear
The prize they grasped away from thee.
Welcome the old dear love again;
The heart of calm in tempest stress,
No see-saw joy that dips to pain,
And bliss that is not blessedness.”
