Contents:

Sister of beauty, cousin of delight

How oft Columbus, dreaming of Cathay

Ask not for freedom if you fear to weep

Mountain interval

But to the lover, beauty is his love

Thebes and Jerusalem are in your eyes

At the symphony (Cesar Franck, D minor)

Heart in wonder, like a lonely wren

So to distil the spirit from the grain

In the woods

With a bunch of roses

Of seven virtues has my true love seven

You also under the moon, oh dark of hair

Reflection

Here in this spot with you my wings are furled

These are the chosen people

Too late the pealing trumpets of the foe

At a Jewish grave

Diaspora

God of pity and love, return to this earth

I ride the great black horses of my heart

So we stand silent, having lost so soon

Love hath no physic for a grief too deep

October

I am no stranger in the house of pain

Beauty is ever to the lonely mind

Tread softly, sorrow, for the summer passes

Ebb tide

Because my grief seems quiet and apart

Evening song

Now that the cold has stilled the honey-bee

Landsman

Where I am going there is no despair

Now the broad noonday lies behind my feet

Epitaph

Ethiopia.
