George William Russell Poems

AT dusk the window panes grew grey;
The wet world vanished in the gloom;
The dim and silver end of day
...

HERE where the loves of others close
The vision of my heart begins.
The wisdom that within us grows
...

I WOKE to find my pillow wet
With the tears for deeds deep hid in sleep.
I knew no sorrow here, but yet
...

COULD you not in silence borrow
Strength to go from us ungrieving?
All these hours of loving sorrow
Only make more bitter leaving.
...
