Poems by Charles Harpur
The Bush Fire
... Onward yet! And onward!till at length the summits gained, ...
Poetry
... Mountainous exploits and the wrecks thick strewn ...
Onward
... And wouldst pause then for applause then, ...
To Doctor Lang
... Even through the grief which then shall oer thee break ...
The Apple of Eden
... ves only remain!'Tis true we may still, as if happily free, Be numbered in Gayety's glittering train ...
The Distance of the Dead
... d fled!And now, even where the Patriarch's hoar head In the cold gloom lay drift-like, none may know ...
The Hours in Final Chorus
... the loveliest child that e'er died on her knee!Though none, save herself, mourns for Misery's child ...
Lines and Figures
... duce, that flowFrom isle to isle or star to star, --All carry with them as they goThe Beautiful afar ...
A Mid-summer Noon in the Australian Forest
... seful here to lieHidden from Noon's scorching eye,In this grassy cool recessMusing thus of quietness ...
"Misery"
... joys that I their loverCannot even scale in speech:Flying o'er my head for ever --Flying o'er it now ...
"My Friends"
... ing us feel -- not at all lyrical,But bitterish rather, and somewhat satirical,Even against our will ...
