Lyrics of Nature, Art and Love. By Francis William Bourdillon
Bourdillon, Francis William (1852-1921)
I.
Part I Art and Nature
II.
Part II Love
III.
Part III Man's Love
In Inferno Sustulit Oculos
In Exitu Amoris
Cynthia
A Song of Farewell
A Love-Song
Omens and Dreams
The Afterglow
Illumination
Visa Mihi Veritas
The Word after Farewell
Together, Once
Outre-Mer
Kisses
Ask of the Nightingale
A Song of Love
A Silver Night
Eheu, Fugaces!
A Summer Cloud
A Fallen Idol
Any Man to any Woman
A Man's Question
The Bird and the Beacon
The Story of a Lover's Soul
The Poisoned Butterfly
Finis sine Fine
The Happy Spring
The One Day
The Magic Maiden
A Magic Circle
Earth has Forgotten
Via Invia
A Rondel of the Ivy-Leaf
A Rondel of Absence
Love Sonnets.
IV.
Part IV Maiden's Love

Earth has Forgotten
Earth
has forgotten
Her Eden days,
And the garden hidden
From human gaze,
The angel footsteps,
The thornless ways.
O world unwitting!
No spot of thee
But might in a moment
All Eden be,
Could I have my lost love
There with me!
