Poets’ Corner
A WALK ALONG THE THAMES FROM RICHMOND TO KEW [Written for The Sun.l To Jane. Life is a Hash of headlights on the road of space. I think I am content -with -what is shown me out of the infinite plains, in my small rpace. Surely the spirit of life through you has known me: for lips that stirred my blocd heart• rendingly and eyes’ clear Hash, like cool of enclave stone, and a dear body beautiful cruelly were for a little space of time my ov/n.
There were tall trees around us, and the dark: and aphrodisiac perfumes of the night. The pain of the body mutely craving love vsill mark surely with light the wet fields veiled with rain. GEOFFREY DE MONTALK. WHAT IF YOU DO NOT LOVE ME . . . (Written for THE SUN) What if you do not love me . . . There's sun yet. And rain, and salt in the wind And trees on the hill . . . 1 yet have colour and shape and scent and sound And all the beauty of earth about me still. Still is the bronze of autumn . . Blue of the spring . . . And the gold glint of summer under the sun. Still is the grey of the dawn . . . Detv of the morning . . . Width and warmth of the day . . . And . . . the day done . . . One star hung in the east like a jewel set. There is so much to remember . . . And to forget. —ALISON GRANT.
