All things pass
Love and mankind is grass.

The flower and fruit of love are mine
The ant, the fieldmouse and the mole

Selected Poems (1962)

The boat that took my love away
He sent again to me
To tell me that he would not sleep
Alone beneath the sea.

Selected Poems (1962)

He did not love in the human way.

Selected Poems (1962)

I made Man with too many faults. Yet I love him.
And if he wishes, I have a home above for him.

Selected Poems (1962)
