WAR, NEWBERY,

I know this vicious minute's hour -- Cool, oh no cool -- The air you breath -- Cabaret -- Sometimes the sky's too bright -- Rain cuts the place we tread -- The morning, space for Leda -- The spire cranes -- Time enough to rot -- It's not in misery but in oblivion -- The natural day and night -- Conceive these images in air -- The neophyte, baptized in smiles -- To be encompassed by the brilliant earth -- Although through my bewildered way -- High on a hill -- Since, on quiet night -- They are the only dead who did not love -- Little problem -- When you have ground such beauty down to dust -- There's plenty in the world -- Written for a personal epitaph -- Never to reach the oblivious dark -- Children of darkness -- got no wings -- Too long, skeleton -- Nearly summer -- Youth calls to age -- Being but men -- Out of the sighs -- Upon your held-out hand -- Walking in gardens -- Now the thirst parches lips and tongue -- Lift up your face -- Let it be known -- The midnight road -- With windmills turning wrong directions -- The gossipers -- Before the gas fades -- Was there a time -- 'We who are young are old' -- Out of a war of wits -- Their faces shone under some radiance -- I have longed to move away -- To follow the fox -- The ploughman's gone -- Poet : 1935 -- Light, I know, treads the ten million stars -- And death shall have no dominion -- Out of the pit -- We lying by seasand -- No man believes -- Why east wind chills -- Greek play in a garden -- Praise to the architects -- Here in the spring -- We have the fairy tales by heart -- 'Find meat on bones' -- Ears in the turrets hear -- The woman speaks -- Shall gods be said to thump the clouds -- The hand that signed the paper -- Let for one moment a faith statement -- You are the ruler of this realm of flesh -- Before I knocked -- We see rise the secret wind -- Take the needles and the knives -- Not forever shall the Lord of the red hail -- Before we mothernaked fall -- The sun burns the morning -- My hero bares his nerves -- Song (Love me, not as the dreaming nurses) -- Through these lashed rings -- The force that through the green fuse drives the flower -- From love's first fever to her plague -- The almanac to time -- All that I owe the fellows of the grave -- Here lie the beasts -- Light breaks where no sun shines -- A letter to my aunt discussing the correct approach to modern poetry -- See, says the lime -- This bread I break -- Your pain shall be a music -- A process in the weather of the heart -- Our eunuch dreams -- Where once the waters of your face -- I see the boys of summer -- In the beginning -- If I were tickled by the rub of love -- Twelve -- When once the twilight locks no longer -- Especially when the October wind -- When, like a running grave -- I fellowed sleep -- I dreamed my genesis -- My world is pyramid -- All all and all the dry worlds lever -- Grief thief of time -- I, in my intricate image -- Do you not father me -- How soon the servant sun -- A grief ago -- Should lanterns shine -- Altarwise by owl-light -- Incarnate devil -- Hold hard, these ancient minutes in the cuckoo's month -- Foster the light -Today, the insect -- The seed-at-zero -- Now (Now, say nay) -- Then was my neophyte -- It is the sinners' dust-tongued bell -- I make this in a warring absence -- O make me a mask -- Not from this anger -- How shall my animal -- After the funeral -- O Chatterton -- When all my five and country senses see -- The tombstone told when she died -- On no work of words -- I, the first named -- A saint about to fall -- Twenty-four years -- The molls -- Once it was the colour of saying -- Because the pleasure-bird whistles -- 'If my head hurt a hair's foot' -- To others than you -- Unluckily for death -- Paper and sticks -- When I woke -- Once below a time -- There was a savior -- The countryman's return -- Into her lying down head -- Request to Leda -- Deaths and entrances -- On a wedding anniversary -- Ballad of the long-legged bait -- Love in the asylum -- On the marriage of a virgin -- The hunchback in the park -- Among those killed in the dawn raid was a man aged a hundred -- Ceremony after a fire raid -- Last night I dived my beggar arm -- Poem (Your breath was shed) -- Poem in October (It was my thirtieth year) -- New quay -- Vision and prayer -- Holy spring -- A winter's tale -- A refusal to mourn the death, by fire, of a child in London -- This side of the truth -- The conversation of prayer -- Lie still, sleep becalmed -- Fern Hill -- In my craft or sullen art -- In country sleep -- Over Sir John's hill -- In the white giant's thigh -- Lament -- Do not go gentle into that good night -- Poem on his birthday (In the mustardseed sun) -- In country heaven -- Elegy -- The song of the mischievous dog -- Forest picture -- Missing -- In dreams -- Idyll of unforgetfulness -- Of any flower -- Clown in the moon -- To a slender wind -- The elm -- The oak -- The pine -- To the spring-spirit -- Triolet -- You shall not despair -- My river -- We will be conscious of our sanctity -- I have come to catch your voice -- When your furious motion -- No thought can trouble my unwholesome pose -- No, pigeon, I am too wise -- Woman on tapestry -- Pillar breaks -- It's light that makes the intervals -- Let me escape -- The rod can lift its twining head -- Admit the sun.
