James Hebblethwaite

“ But such a wonder as my love
Was never seen before,
It is my joy and sorrow now
To love her evermore.
The sea-coast of Bohemia
Is haunted by a light
Of memory fair of lady’s eyes,
And fame of gallant knight ”

“ By new stars’ gleam and glow,
By summer trails in antique lands –
Pull up the stakes and go!
The world is wide and we are young,
The sounding marches beat,
And passion pipes her sweetest call
In lane and field and street ”

“ When death comes round and strikes our tent –
Pull up the stakes and go!
