Read out my words at night, alone: I was a poet, I was young

It was so old a ship - who knows, who knows? / And yet so beautiful, I watched in vain / To see the mast burst open with a rose / And the whole deck put on its leaves again.

And with great lies about his wooden horse/ Set the crew laughing and forgot his course.

A ship, an isle, a sickle moon - / With few but with how splendid stars / The mirrors of the sea are strewn / Between their silver bars.

When the great markets by the sea shut fast / All that calm Sunday that goes on and on: / When even lovers find their peace at last,/ And Earth is but a star, that once had shone.

West of these out to seas colder than the Hebrides I must go, / Where the fleet of stars is anchored and the young star-captains glow.

What would ye, ladies? It was ever thus. / Men are unwise and curiously planned.

I have seen old ships sail like swans asleep / Beyond the village which men still call Tyre.

For one night or the other night / Will come the Gardener in white, and gathered flowers are dead, Yasmin.

For pines are gossip pines the wide world through.

The poet's business is not to save the soul of man but to make it worth saving.

Half to forget the wandering and pain,/ Half to remember days that have gone by,/ And dream and dream that I am home again!

Neon strikes on England, noon on Oxford town,
Beauty she was statue cold - there's blood upon her gown.
