Contents:

From which I spring

Blind germs of days to be

Books are the compasses

Darkness there and nothing more

Corals to cut life upon

Fanatics of their pure ideals

The turbid ebb and flow of misery

I have promises to keep

The woman rebel

We speak the same good tongue

Havelock Ellis

Stork over Holland

The peasants are kings

O, to be in England

High hangs the gauntlet

Hear me for my cause

Faith I have been a truant in the law

Lean hunger and green thirst

This prison where I live

A stout heart to a steep hill

Thus to revisit

Do ye hear the children weeping?

In time we can only begin

Laws were like cobwebs

Alien stars arise

The east is blossoming

Ancients of the earth

The world is much the same everywhere

While the doctors consult

Now is the time for converse

Great heights are hazardous

Change is hopefully begun

Old father antic, the law

Senators, be not affrighted

A past which is gone forever

Faith is a fine invention

Who can take a dream for truth?

Depth but not tumult

Slow grows the splendid pattern.
