      • When high Zeus first peopled earth
      • Methinks my love to thee doth grow
      • Thou must not leave me
      • It was deep April, and the morn
      • Apollo and the Muses taught thee not
      • There comes a change in her breath
      • A girl
      • Our myrtle is in flower
      • She lies asleep: I, watching, do not dare
      • Mine is the eddying foam and the broken current
      • Sweet of my poet how sweet are the eyes, the eye-lids
      • Though I sing high, and chaunt above her
      • Have you seen the olives at set of sun
      • Shall there ever be a morn
      • I love her with the seasons, with the winds
      • O sweet, all sweet, - the body as the shyer

There comes a change in her breath

    Annotations

    THERE comes a change in her breath, 
    A change that saith 
    She is breathing in her sleep. 
    Breathing, breathing and yet so low : 
    O life at ebb, O life at flow. 
    Her life, her breath !
