Poet
D.H. Lawrence
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
