Post-Laureate Idyls and other poems by Oscar Fay Adams

Adams, Oscar Fay (1855-1919)

[section]

THE SWEET SOUTH-WIND.

ON THE LABRADOR COAST.

WHAT'S THE SWEETEST NEWS IN SPRING?

FRANCESCA AND PAOLO.

WHERE ARE THE PIPES OF PAN?

SONG.

TO A FRIEND WHO DELAYS TO WRITE.

A VALENTINE.

MIDSUMMER PASSES.

FAIR FRIENDSHIP RAISED HIS PLACID MASK.

AN EASTER GRIEF.

UNTO LATE AUTUMNTIDE.

FAIR FRIENDSHIP RAISED HIS PLACID MASK.

Fair Friendship raised his placid mask and showed
Beneath, not brows where calm Content should reign,
Nor smiles wherein all-perfect Joy abode,
But Discord's face, distort with many a pain!
