NATURE-NOTES and IMPRESSIONS
1883–1886
1887–1890
[Now that the dawn is up, is up]
[Dark woodland ways of drowsy rustlings]
[The thunder boomed from cloudy ridge to ridge]
[Who now hath understood]
[High up she glides, high up, the quartz-white moon]
[The hope, the hate, the bitterness of love]
[Barbaric burgonets, heavy with gems]
[Thou hast no thought for one who walks 'mid flowers]
[Thou art to me the whole of heaven]
[Two unshed tears made beautiful her eyes]
[Oh, for the gods of the Greeks]
[A languid land of lazy moons and stars]
[The haymakers' sickles]
[She whom I loved too well]
[Tell me, do you love to lie]
[What gladness of the young, young Earth]
[Maid Marian rose in the morn betime]
[Look at me over your shoulder, lass]
[Oh, could I only grieve you]
[You who would not have me]
[Dim gleam and gloom]
[Along the west a cloud-wrought crimson cloth]
[What of the sea when the storm clouds thicken]
[Between the meads of millet]
[Her eyes were dark with the darkness of hell]
[Night came, treading the darkness into burning stars]
[On the sunset's cloudy tide]
[Alas! how hearts go groping]
[Why is it thus with me as days go by]
[Swift as the poplar, with its lordly height]
[While lone I stood]
1891–1900

[On the sunset's cloudy tide]
On the sunset's cloudy tide
Triremes of the storm did sit,
All their hundred ports flung wide
With wild battle lanterns lit.
