ay whole schools
of doctors with their learned rules
but the case is quite beyond their science | img2poems |
woe
woe
eternal woe | img2poems |
this o brave physician
this
is thy great palingenesis | img2poems |
golden visions wave and hover
golden vapors waters streaming
landscapes moving changing gleaming | img2poems |
what ho
that merry sudden blast
reminds me of the days long past | img2poems |
no banner flying from the walls
no pages and no seneschals
no warders and one porter only | img2poems |
no if you please
a strange mysterious disease
fell on him with a sudden blight | img2poems |
oh horrible fate
outcast rejected
as one with pestilence infected | img2poems |
still in my soul that cry goes on
forever gone
forever gone | img2poems |
ah what a cruel sense of loss
like a black shadow would fall across
the hearts of all if he should die | img2poems |
the day is done and slowly from the scene
the stooping sun up-gathers his spent shafts
and puts them back into his golden quiver | img2poems |
yes there it flows forever broad and still
as when the vanguard of the roman legions
first saw it from the top of yonder hill | img2poems |
a stranger and alone
among that brotherhood
the monk felix stood | img2poems |
it was as if i dreamed
for what to me had seemed
moments only had been hours | img2poems |
upon thy forehead he will place
not his crown of thorns
but a crown of roses | img2poems |
in his room overhead
i heard him walking across the floor
as he always does with a heavy tread | img2poems |
poor prince alas
and yet as mild
and patient as the gentlest child | img2poems |
no not the stork by god in heaven
as a blessing the dear white stork was given
but the prince has given us all the rest | img2poems |
yes if the dear god does not take
pity upon him in his distress
and work a miracle | img2poems |
i am glad he is dead
it will be a warning
to the wolves in the forest far and wide | img2poems |
see how she nods her heavy head
and her sleepy feet are so unsteady
she will hardly be able to creep upstairs | img2poems |
for she has visions and strange dreams
and in all her words and ways she seems
much older than she is in truth | img2poems |
i am disturbed and much distressed
in thinking our dear prince must die
i cannot close mine eyes nor rest | img2poems |
what dost thou mean
my child
my child | img2poems |
that for our dear prince henry's sake
i will myself the offering make
and give my life to purchase his | img2poems |
i saw our little gertrude die
she left off breathing and no more
i smoothed the pillow beneath her head | img2poems |
my child
my child
thou must not die | img2poems |
why should i live
do i not know
the life of woman is full of woe | img2poems |
i cannot rest until my sight
is satisfied with seeing thee
what then if thou wert dead | img2poems |
whether it be a dark temptation
of the evil one or god's inspiration
we in our blindness cannot say | img2poems |
i almost shuddered at her kiss
as if a ghost had touched my cheek
i am so childish and so weak | img2poems |
go sin no more
thy penance o'er
a new and better life begin | img2poems |
o blessed lord
how much i need
thy light to guide me on my way | img2poems |
what wrong repressed what right maintained
what struggle passed what victory gained
what good attempted and attained | img2poems |
the poor in body and estate
the sick and the disconsolate
must not on man's convenience wait | img2poems |
god was my foster
he fostered me
under the book of the palm-tree | img2poems |
i wonder that any man has the face
to call such a hole the house of the lord
and the gate of heaven yet such is the word | img2poems |
underneath this mouldering tomb
with statue of stone and scutcheon of brass
slumbers a great lord of the village | img2poems |
he comes
in the twilight he will not see
the difference between his priest and me | img2poems |
remorseful penitent and lowly
i come to crave o father holy
thy benediction on my head | img2poems |
thou art a prince
if thou shouldst die
what hearts and hopes would prostrate lie | img2poems |
with thee a noble name expires
and vanishes from the earth's face
the glorious memory of thy sires | img2poems |
if justice rules the universe
from the good actions of good men
angels of light should be begotten | img2poems |
maledictione perpetua
maledicat vos
pater eternus | img2poems |
noble art thou in thy birth
by the good and the great of earth
hast thou been taught | img2poems |
the mother's heart resists no longer
with the angel of the lord in vain
it wrestled for he was the stronger | img2poems |
my life is little
only a cup of water
but pure and limpid | img2poems |
it is given willingly
it is given freely
may god bless the gift | img2poems |
thy words fall from thy lips
like roses from the lips of angelo: and angels
might stoop to pick them up | img2poems |
sleepless and restless i alone
in the dusk and damp of these walls of stone
wander and weep in my remorse | img2poems |
they rise up and their garments wave
dimly and spectral as they rise
with the light of another world in their eyes | img2poems |
wake not beloved
be thy sleep
silent as night is and as deep | img2poems |
friend
can you tell me where alight
thuringia's horsemen for the night | img2poems |
my hopes are high my heart is proud
and like a trumpet long and loud
thither my thoughts all clang and ring | img2poems |
our journey into italy
perchance together we may make
wilt thou not do it for my sake | img2poems |
what ho
good people
do you not hear | img2poems |
dashing along at the top of his speed
booted and spurred on his jaded steed
a courier comes with words of cheer | img2poems |
christ is arisen
whence come you
from court | img2poems |
christ is arisen
whence come you
from town | img2poems |
and here comes a third who is spurring amain
what news do you bring with your loose-hanging rein
your spurs wet with blood and your bridle with foam | img2poems |
christ is arisen
whence come you
from rome | img2poems |
but hark
the bells are beginning to chime
and i feel that i am growing hoarse | img2poems |
and the wheel wherewith it is swayed and rung
is the mind of man that round and round
sways and maketh the tongue to sound | img2poems |
such columns and such arches and such windows
so many tombs and statues in the chapels
and under them so many confessionals | img2poems |

i should not like
to tell my sins in such a church as this | img2poems |

o'er satan and the fall | img2poems |
here the angel gabriel shall leave paradise and fly towards the
earth the jaws of hell open below and the devils walk about
making a great noise | img2poems |
the angels of the planets seven
across the shining fields of heaven
the natal star we bring | img2poems |
dropping our sevenfold virtues down
as priceless jewels in the crown
of christ our new-born king | img2poems |
i am the angel of the moon
darkened to be rekindled soon
beneath the azure cope | img2poems |

and sends from his great throne above

though in a manger thou draw breath
thou art greater than life and death
greater than joy or woe | img2poems |
though humbly born in bethlehem
a sceptre and a diadem
await thy brow and hand | img2poems |

while like a guard we stand around
and hail thee as our king | img2poems |
nor let the passers-by refuse
to bring that homage which men use
to majesty to bring | img2poems |
at the close of which we shall accord
by way of benison and reward

and a heart still beats in those ribs of oak
that time may have tamed but has not broke | img2poems |

and beside her
what a handsome graceful noble rider | img2poems |
