Contents

I see the boys of summer -- When once the twilight locks no longer -- A process in the weather of the heart -- Before I knocked -- The force that through the green fuse drives the flower -- My hero bares his nerves -- Where once the waters of your face -- If I were tickled by the rub of love -- Our eunuch dreams -- Especially when the October wind -- When, like a running grave -- From love's first fever to her plague -- In the beginning -- Light breaks where no sun shines -- I fellowed sleep -- I dreamed my genesis -- My world is pyramid -- All all and all the dry worlds lever -- I, in my intricate image -- This bread I break -- Incarnate devil -- Today, this insect -- The seed-at-zero -- Shall gods be said to thump the clouds -- Here in this spring -- Do you not father me -- Out of the sighs -- Hold hard, these ancient minutes in the cuckoo's month -- Was there a time -- Now -- Why east wind chills -- A grief ago -- How soon the servant sun -- Ears in the turrets hear -- Foster the light -- The hand that signed the paper -- Should lanterns shine -- I have longed to move away -- Find meat on bones -- Grief thief of time -- And death shall have no dominion -- Then was my neophyte -- Altarwise by owl-light -- Because the pleasure-bird whistles -- I make this in a warring absence -- When all my five and country senses see -- We lying by seasand -- It is the sinners' dust-tongued bell -- O make me a mask -- The spire cranes -- After the funeral -- Once it was the colour of saying -- Not from this anger -- How shall my animal -- The tombstone told when she died -- On no work of words -- A saint about to fall -- 'If my head hurt a hair's foot' -- Twenty-four years -- The conversation of prayers -- A refusal to mourn the death, by fire, of a child in London -- Poem in October -- This side of the truth -- To others than you -- Love in the asylum -- Unluckily for a death -- The hunchback in the park -- Into her lying down head -- Do not go gentle into that good night -- Deaths and entrances -- A winter's tale -- On a wedding anniversary -- There was a saviour -- On the marriage of a virgin -- In my craft or sullen art -- Ceremony after a fire raid -- Once below a time -- When I woke -- Among those killed in the dawn raid was a man aged a hundred -- Lie still, sleep becalmed -- Vision and prayer -- Ballad of the long-legged bait -- Holy spring -- Fern hill -- In country sleep -- Over Sir John's hill -- Poem on his birthday -- Lament -- In the white giant's thigh -- Two unfinished poems: Elegy -- Vernon Watkins' note -- In country heaven -- Daniel Jones' note.
