To regard the frost and the boughs

To behold the junipers shagged with ice,
The spruces rough in the distant glitter
Of the January sun; and... (Read full poem)

The trees along this city street,
Save for the traffic and the trains,
Would make a sound as thin and sweet
As trees in country lanes.

Out of a shower, undoubtedly
Would hear such music as is made
Upon a country... (Read full poem)

Catching his fly... (Read full poem)

My passive arm, but I have found

Like human qualities.

I.
Solemnly, mournfully,
Dealing its dole,
The Curfew Bell
Is beginning to toll.

And quenched is the fire;
Sound fades into... (Read full poem)

The first song-bird that awakened all the rest.

How passion warms little
Of flesh in the mould,
And treasure is brittle,--
