Francis William Bourdillon (Фрэнсис Уильям Бурдильон)

Christmas Roses

White-faced Winter Roses,
O'er the grave I plant you
Where the dead reposes,
That a soul may haunt you,
And your ghostly whiteness
In the Winter gloom,
Seem some spirit-brightness
Shining from the tomb!

1. The Acorn
2. Drought
3. Sonnet (Oft had I felt, like pure Endymion)
4. A Spring Evening
5. On the South Downs
