The Collected Poems

Excerpt from The Collected Poems
Sonnets
I too have travelled in the unknown land,
And anchored by the unfrequented shore;
I too have heard the Stygian waters roar,
And seen the foam of Lethe kiss the sand.
I too have trampled the enchanted grass,
And seen the phantom hunters gallop by,
And heard the faery bugle, and the sigh
Of banished gods that in the woodways pass.
And as a traveller brings his spoil to him
More richly graced in might and bravery,
So do I give to you these records dim
Of bright adventure in the fields forlorn; -
To you who heard the blast of Roland's horn,
And saw Iseult set sail for Brittany.
