  William Ernest Henley (1901). “Hawthorn and Lavender with Other Verses”

• So be my passing! My task accomplished and the long day done, My wages taken, and in my heart Some late lark singing, Let me be gathered in the quiet west, The sundown splendid and serene, Death.

  William Ernest Henley

  Death, Taken, Heart

  'Margaritae Sororis' (1888)

• Or ever the knightly years were gone, with the old world to the grave, I was a King in Babylon and you were a Christian Slave. I saw, I took, I cast you by, I bent and broke your pride... And a myriad suns have set and shone, since then upon the grave, Decreed by the King in Babylon, to her that had been his slave. The pride I trampled is now my scathe, for it tramples me again. The old remnant lasts like death for you love, yet you refrain. I break my heart on your hard unfaith, and I break my heart in vain.

  William Ernest Henley

• Open your heart and take us in, Love-love and me.

  William Ernest Henley

  Love, Life, Heart

  William Ernest Henley, Robert Louis Stevenson (1908). “The Works of W. E. Henley: Poems”

• The nightingale has a lyre of gold, The lark's is a clarion call, And the blackbird plays but a boxwood flute, But I love him best of all. For his song is all the joy of life, And we in the mad spring weather, We two have listened till he sang Our hearts and lips together.

  William Ernest Henley

  Song, Spring, Heart
