      • Mortal, if thou art beloved
      • Once, his feet among the roses
      • Let us wreathe the mighty cup
      • O wind, thou hast thy kingdom in the trees
      • Death, men say, is like a sea
      • Ah, Eros doth not always smite
      • Who hath ever given
      • Sometimes I do despatch my heart
      • Down the forest-path I fled
      • I dance and dance! Another faun
      • In the moony brake
      • Love doth never know
      • Love's wings are wondrous swift
      • If the sun our white headlands with flame
      • When I grow old
      • I felt my leaves fall free
      • A calm in the flitting sky
      • Sweeping, sighing away
      • Spring! The light is stronger, the air is shuddering
      • Do you see the poppies coming?
      • On the gray dawn-track
      • In winter sere
      • Through hazels and apples
      • Say, if a gallant rose my bower doth scale
      • This rare south rose that thou didst take
      • Ah me, if I grew sweet to men
      • In the moony brake
      • Where winds abound

On the gray dawn-track

    Annotations

    ON the gray dawn-track 
    Dreams are hastening back 
    To the years : 
    That is why the air is busy, 
    That is why the eye grows dizzy 
    As the little ghosts from play 

    Speed away 
    To the mouldering years.
