About This Book

A varied collection of lyric and narrative verse that moves between short songs, sonnets, rondels, and longer meditative pieces. Many poems use pastoral and seasonal imagery to celebrate fields, harvest, and the sensory life of the natural world while also acknowledging the hardships and dignity of rural labor. Recurring themes include love, absence, memory, and spiritual longing, treated with formal variety and musical language. The tone alternates between celebratory, elegiac, and reflective, blending vivid description with moral and emotional observation.

LA MORT EST TOUJOURS FIDÈLE!

Gone!...
And steal the shadows grey
Where our window shone
Late with lights; too soon are they
Gone.
All that Heaven won
When it took you, love, away
My heaven’s built upon:—
“Joy of life—Come back a day!”
But the path leads on
Through the night.... Grief wakes to say
“Gone!”
