Poems by Alfred Austin
Farewell To Italy
... And the plump fig, beyond where tendrils twine, ...
The Challenge Answered
... To their maids no longer fickle, down whose cheeks the fond tears trickle, ...
"`Shepherd swains that feed your flocks"
... And your kids and young lambs bleat, ...
A Poets Eightieth Birthday
... And when, like light withdrawn from earth to heaven, ...
"The flower, full blown, now bends the stalk, now breaks"
... The flower, full blown, now bends the stalk, now breaks ...
In The Forum
... They still Reclaim the thrones where once they reigned, ...
A Royal Home-Coming
... Young Commonwealths You found, surging with life, ...
Spiritual Love
... Give me all these, and add, with lengthening years, ...
The Evening Light
... II Each hope fulfilled, obtained each prayer, ...
A Twilight Song
... As though 'twere noon, as though 'twere dawn ...
A Souless Singer
... Thou learn'st to outvoice, outnumber all the Nine ...
A Te Deum
... For the close-fitting doors that are barred, ...
Primacy Of Mind
... Unto the Muse, ``More light! More light!'' ...
"Although no stupid scoffer, I"
... And so you soothe-'tis only fair- ...
A Christmas Carol
... Good-will and peace 'twixt class and class! ...
