Refused me the parting kiss,
Saying we should be engaged before that;

From the skating rink or the revival.
No sooner did my... (Read full poem)

People that build their houses inland,
People that buy a plot of ground
Shaped like a house, and build a house there,
Far from the sea-board, far from the sound
Of water sucking the hollow ledges,
Tons of water striking the shore,—

It is in the small things we see it.
The child's first step,

When they called you crybaby

As Children bid the Guest "Good Night"
And then reluctant turn --
My flowers raise their pretty lips --
Then put their nightgowns on.

Merry that it is Morn --
My flowers from a hundred cribs
Will peep, and prance... (Read full poem)

who privately despise children,

Jonas Keene thought his lot a hard one
Because his children were all failures.

Who flew away at last, leaving... (Read full poem)

Appeared like god in the sunset sky,
But I was one of the children told

flapping its awful wings at us

The surf pushes their cries back.

to be and be there still.
I said, the... (Read full poem)
