Attadale, West Highlands
From a Window in Princes Street

The gods are dead
Let us be drunk
When you are old
Beside the idle summer sea
The ways of Death are soothing and serene
We shall surely die

Preface
To my mother
Life is bitter
O, gather me the rose
Out of the night that covers me
I am the Reaper
Praise the generous gods
Fill a glass with golden wine
We'll go no more a roving
Madam Life's a piece in bloom
The sea is full of wandering foam
Thick is the darkness
To me at my fifth floor window
Bring her again, O western wind
The wan sun westers, faint and slow
There is a wheel inside my head
While the west is paling
The sands are alive with sunshine
The nightingale has a lyre of gold
Your heart has trembled to my tongue
The surges gushed and sounded
We flash across the level
The West a glimmering lake of light
The skies are strown with stars
The full sea rolls and thunders
In the year that's come and gone
In the placid summer midnight
She sauntered by the swinging seas
Blithe dreams arise to greet us
A child
Kate A Whimsies, John a Dreams
O, have you blessed, behind the stars
O, Falmouth is a fine town
The ways are green
Life in her creaking shoes
A late lark twitters from the quiet skies
I gave my heart to a woman
Or ever the knightly years were gone
On the way to Kew
The past was goodly once
The spring, my dear
The Spirit of Wine
A Wink from Hesper
Friends. . . old friends
If it should come to be
From the brake the Nightingale
In the waste hour
Crosses and troubles

Prologue
Where forlorn sunsets flare and fade
We are the Choice of the Will
A desolate shore
It came with the threat of a waning moon
Why, my heart, do we love her so?
One with the ruined sunset
There's a regret
Time and the Earth
As like the Woman as you can
Midsummer midnight skies
Gulls in an aery morrice
Some starlit garden grey with dew
Under a stagnant sky
Fresh from his fastnesses
You played and sang a snatch of song
Space and dread and the dark
Tree, Old Tree of the Triple Crook
When you wake in your crib
O, Time and Change
The shadow of Dawn
When the wind storms by with a shout
Trees and the menace of night
Here they trysted, here they strayed
Not to the staring Day
What have I done for you
Epilogue DEDICATION TO MY WIFE Take, dear, my little sheaf of songs,
For, old or new,
All that is good in them belongs
Only to you; And, singing as when all was young,
They will recall
Those others, lived but left unsung
The bent of all... Continue reading book >>
