The joy of idleness;
But now I'm grey I hold my tongue,
For frankly I confess

So I must toil until I'm through
With this asthmatic breath.
Where others... (Read full poem)

If I could live again my life,
In the next - I'll try,

I won't try to be so perfect,

I'll be more full - than I am now,
In fact, I'll take fewer things seriously,
I'll be less hygenic,
I'll take more... (Read full poem)

God has pity on kindergarten children,

The lemon sunlight poured out far between things

Unless you give him ale.... (Read full poem)

Ears in the turrets hear
Hands grumble on the door,
Eyes in the gables see

Hands, hold you poison or grapes?
Beyond this island... (Read full poem)

No gin to catch the State, or... (Read full poem)

Though scant am I of pelf,

And soured with city men.
So I will plant... (Read full poem)

With silken ears and velvet paws,
And silver hair, superbly... (Read full poem)
