I am a woman—therefore I may not
Call to him, cry to him,
Fly to him,
Bid him delay not.
Lyrics and Other Poems (1885)
O white and midnight sky, O starry bath,
Wash me in thy pure, heavenly crystal flood:
Cleanse me, ye stars, from earthly soil and scath—
Let not one taint remain in spirit or blood!
Lyrics and Other Poems (1885)
From all the misty morning air, there comes a summer sound,—
A murmur as of waters from skies, and trees and ground.
The birds they sing upon the wing, the pigeons bill and coo.
