    LOVE’S LONELINESS

    Old fathers, great-grandfathers,
    Rise as kindred should.
    If ever lover’s loneliness
    Came where you stood,
    Pray that Heaven protect us
    That protect your blood.

    The mountain throws a shadow,
    Thin is the moon’s horn;
    What did we remember
    Under the ragged thorn?
    Dread has followed longing,
    And our hearts are torn.

    CRAZY JANE ON THE DAY OF JUDGMENT

    ‘Love is all
    Unsatisfied
    That cannot take the whole
    Body and soul’;
    And that is what Jane said.

    ‘Take the sour
    If you take me,
    I can scoff and lour
    And scold for an hour.’
    ‘That’s certainly the case, said he.

    ‘Naked I lay,
    The grass my bed;
    Naked and hidden away,
    That black day’;
    And that is what Jane said.

    ‘What can be shown?
    What true love be?
    All could be known or shown
    If Time were but gone.’
    ‘That’s certainly the case,’ said he.
