Has anyone... (Read full poem)

But this white mouse was wild and free,
And every eye with stealth it stole

An acre of green grass

Neither loose imagination,
Nor the mill of the... (Read full poem)

Where my Love abideth;

On through lawns, on through meads,

Meandering and musical,
Though the niggard pasturage
Bears not on its shaven ledge

Four billion people on this earth,
