Poems by William Watson
World Strangeness
... Floored with gemlike plains and seas, ...
A Golden Hour
... The leafless boughs across the lane were knitting: ...
Vanishings
... Sad were the fields, and dim with splendours gone ...
England And Her Colonies
... Her seeds, by careless winds conveyed,&emsp ...
The Eternal Search
... To probe the unknown! So soon begins the quest, ...
The Princes' Quest - Part the Second
... Where through the boughs did birds of strange song flit: ...
In Laleham Churchyard
... 'Tis fittest thus! for though with skill ...
The Sovereign Poet
... In the cold starlight where thou canst not climb ...
Felicity
... me, Spreader of toils to snare the wandering Joy ...
The Princes' Quest - Part the Ninth
... the night Down-fluttering breathless from the heaven's height ...
Beauty's Metempsychosis
... Thou yield'st it back from eyes and lips and hair ...
Beethoven
... Rose like a sea with easeless winds distraught, ...
Art Maxims
... There is toil on the steeps,-- ...
The Fugitive Ideal
... Seen in the thronged and hurrying street, ...
Life Without Health
... With winter blowing through its crumbling walls! ...
