A Baby Asleep after Pain As a drenched, drowned bee A Baby Running Barefoot When the bare feet of the baby beat across the grass After Many Days I wonder if with you, as it is with me, A Love Song Reject me not if I should say to you Anxiety The hoar-frost crumbles in the sun, A Passing Bell Mournfully to and fro, to and fro the trees are waving; A Sane Revolution If you make a revolution, make it for fun, A Spiritual Woman Close your eyes, my love, let me make you blind; At the Window The pine-trees bend to listen to the autumn wind as it mutters A Winter's Tale Yesterday the fields were only grey with scattered snow, A Youth Mowing There are four men mowing down by the Isar; Baby Tortoise You know what it is to be born alone, Ballad of Another Ophelia Oh the green glimmer of apples in the orchard, Bat At evening, sitting on this terrace, Bavarian Gentians Not every man has gentians in his house Beautiful Old Age It ought to be lovely to be old Belief Forever nameless Birdcage Walk When the wind blows her veil Blue The earth again like a ship steams out of the dark sea over Brooding Grief A yellow leaf from the darkness Brother and Sister The shorn moon trembling indistinct on her path, Butterfly Butterfly, the wind blows sea-ward, Conceit It is conceit that kills us Conundrums Tell me a word Craving for Spring I wish it were spring in the world. Cruelty and Love What large, dark hands are those at the window Discipline It is stormy, and raindrops cling like silver bees to the pane, Discord in Childhood Outside the house an ash-tree hung its terrible whips, Dissolute Many years have I still to burn, detained Dolor of Autumn The acrid scents of autumn, Dreams All people dream, but not equally. Dreams Nascent My world is a painted fresco, where coloured shapes Dreams Old I have opened the window to warm my hands on the sill Drunk Too far away, oh love, I know, Elegy Since I lost you, my darling, the sky has come near, Epilogue Patience, little Heart. Excursion I wonder, can the night go by; Firelight and Nightfall The darkness steals the forms of all the queens, Giorno dei Morti Along the avenue of cypresses, Gloire de Dijon When she rises in the morning Green The dawn was apple-green, Grey Evening When you went, how was it you carried with you How Beastly The Bourgeois Is How beastly the bourgeois is If You are a Man If you are a man, and believe in the destiny of mankind In a Boat See the stars, love, Intimates Don't you care for my love? she said bitterly. In Trouble and Shame I look at the swaling sunset Irony Always, sweetheart, Kangaroo Delicate mother Kangaroo Last Words to Miriam Yours is the shame and sorrow, Liaison A big bud of moon hangs out of the twilight, Lies About Love We are a liars, because Listening I listen to the stillness of you, Lotus Hurt by the Cold How many times, like lotus lilies risen Lui Et Elle She is large and matronly Malade The sick grapes on the chair by the bed lie prone; at the window Mating Round clouds roll in the arms of the wind, Meeting Among the Mountains The little pansies by the road have turned Monologue of a Mother This is the last of all, this is the last! Mystery Now I am all New Year's Eve There are only two things now, Nothing To Save There is nothing to save, now all is lost, Patience A wind comes from the north Perfidy Hollow rang the house when I knocked on the door, Piano Softly, in the dusk, a woman is singing to me; Reproach Had I but known yesterday, Restlessness At the open door of the room I stand and look at the night, Scent Of Irises A faint, sickening scent of irises Search for Truth Search for nothing any more, nothing Self-pity I never saw a wild thing Service of all the Dead Between the avenues of cypresses, Seven Seals Since this is the last night I keep you home, Silence Since I lost you I am silence-haunted, Snake A snake came to my water-trough Snap-Dragon She bade me follow to her garden where Sorrow Why does the thin grey strand Study Somewhere the long mellow note of the blackbird Submergence When along the pavement, Tease I will give you all my keys, The Bride My love looks like a girl to-night, The Deepest Sensuality The profoundest of all sensualities The Elephant Is Slow To Mate The elephant, the huge old beast, The End If I could have put you in my heart, The Enkindled Spring This spring as it comes bursts up in bonfires green, The Hands of the Betrothed Her tawny eyes are onyx of thoughtlessness, The Inheritance Since you did depart The Mystic Blue Out of the darkness, fretted sometimes in its sleeping, The Piano (Notebook Version) Somewhere beneath that piano's superb sleek black The Prophet Ah, my darling, when over the purple horizon shall loom The Punisher I have fetched the tears up out of the little wells, The Revolutionary Look at them standing there in authority The Ship of Death I The Song of a Man Who has Come Through Not I, not I, but the wind that blows through me! The Virgin Mother My little love, my darling, The White Horse The youth walks up to the white horse, to put its halter on The Wild Common The quick sparks on the gorse bushes are leaping, Thought Thought, I love thought. Tortoise Family Connections On he goes, the little one, Tortoise Gallantry Making his advances Tortoise Shell The Cross, the Cross Tortoise Shout I thought he was dumb, said he was dumb, To Women As Far As I'm Concerned The feelings I don't have I don't have. Trees In The Garden Ah in the thunder air Troth with the Dead The moon is broken in twain, and half a moon Virgin Youth Now and again We are Transmitters As we live, we are transmitters of life. Week-Night Service The five old bells Whales Weep Not! They say the sea is cold, but the sea contains Willy Wet-Leg I can’t stand Willy Wet-Leg, Worm Either Way If you live along with all the other people
