Poems by Virna Sheard
From 'In Egypt'
... And then the world was young, that hath these many years been old ...
The Lonely Road
... Till cold and silence wrapped them round ...
A Song Of Roses
... King Midas must have touched their leaves in mystic days of old, ...
The Heart Courageous
... Will fight with right good cheer ...
Saints
... Each pressing hard towards some far gleam ...
The Fairy Clock
... And I know each black-frocked friar preacheth sermons that, alas! ...
The Harp
... Trembles strange music where those harp-strings are ...
Sir Henry Irving
... Swayed by impassioned word and breathless pause ...
When Christmas Comes
... For thee, the friends that greet thee at the door, ...
The Opal Month
... And here and there--both at night and at morn-- ...
The Miracle
... What though his heart grew faint, and all the strength ...
The Slumber Angel
... Forgets awhile, and dreams throughout the night ...
The Angel
... " Then backward slipped the cowl from off his head, ...
The Gleaner
... Where falls the sunlight chequered by the shade ...
A Southern Lullaby
... Yess--I sees yo' eyes adoin' dat dere triflin' trick-- ...
