John Riley

*

From the dimly lit hall

you slipped out in a light shawl.

The servants slept on,

we disturbed no one …

(1908)

James Greene

*

To read only children’s tales

and look through a child’s eye;

to rise from grief and wave

big things goodbye.

Life has tired me to death;

life has no more to offer.

But I love my poor earth

since I know no other.

I swung in a faraway garden

on a plain plank swing;

I remember tall dark firs

in a feverish blur.

(1908)

Robert Chandler

*

Newly reaped ears of early wheat

lie in level rows;

fingertips tremble, pressed against

fingers fragile as themselves.
