Poem 2 and 3 and 4

    An Epiloge ......   John Masefield ..

I have seen flowers come in stony places
And kind things done by men with ugly faces,
And the gold cup won by the worst horse at the races,
So I trust, too.
.........................................................................................



      On Mundane Acquaintances ....  Hilaire Belloc..

Good morning, Algernon: Good morning, Percy.
Good morning, Mrs. Roebeck. Christ have mercy!

...........................................................................................




         Siegfried Sassoon     (no title?) 

'When I'm alone' ......the words tripped of his tongue
As though to be alone were nothing strange.
'When I was young' he said. 'when I was young....


I thought of age, and loneliness, and change.
I thought how strange we grow when we're alone,
And how unlike the selves that meet, and talk,
And blow the candle out, and say good-night.
Alone... The word is life endured and known.
It is the stillness where our spirits walk
And all but inmost faith is overthrown

poems...

Apart from up-loading music from you tube

I have nothing to say on here anymore, so to keep it going

I'll try and post a poem a week, here's the first...

 A Quoi Bon Dire... by Charlotte Mew..

Seventeen years ago you said

Something that sounded like Good-bye;

And everybody thinks that you are dead,

                 But I.

So I, as I grow stiff and cold

To this and that say Good-bye too;

And everybody sees that I am old

                 But you.

And one fine morning in a sunny lane

Some boy and girl will meet and kiss and swear

That nobody can love their way again

                While over there 

You will have smiled, and I shall have tossed your hair.
