War is Kind & Other Lines

Do not weep, maiden, for war is kind

"What says the sea, little shell?"

To the maiden

A little ink more or less!

"Have you ever made a just man?"

I explain the silvered passing of a ship at night

I have heard the sunset song of the birches

Fast rode the knight

Forth went the candid man

You tell me this is God?

On the desert

A newspaper is a collection of half-injustices

The wayfarer

A slant of sun on dull brown walls

Once a man clambering to the housetops

There was a man with tongue of wood

The successful man has thrust himself

In the night

The chatter of a death-demon from a tree-top

The impact of a dollar upon the heart

A man said to the universe

When the prophet, a complacent fat man

There was a land where lived no violets

Ay, workman, make me a dream

Each small gleam was a voice

The trees in the garden rained flowers

When a people reach the top of a hill
