Francis Ernley Walrond Poems

Meintjes Kopje! Meintjes Kopje!
Do the purple daisies grow
On your rugged slopes in spring-time
As they did in years ago,
...

I walk in a garden of roses,
'Twixt lawn and shaven lawn,
And I think of the wild free spaces,
And the rose of a breathless dawn.
...

The gray of the morning
Creeps in the room like fear.
It is growing lighter,
But I sit crouched and shivering.
...
