Merely Suburban
III.
III.
Metempsychosis.
When Grief comes this way by
With her wan lip and drooping eye,
Bid her welcome, woo her boldly;
Soon she'll look on thee less coldly.
Her tears soon cease to flow.
'Tis now not Grief but Joy we know;
From her smiling face the roses
Tell the glad metempsychosis.

LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of Merely Suburban by Thomas Runciman. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for November 12, 2023. ------ His poems were never offered for publication, although critical essays of his appeared from time to time, as for instance in the "London" of Henley and Stevenson. The Songs and Sonnets were written for his own satisfaction, and were sent to a few faithful friends and to members of his own family, who have allowed me to collect and print them. (from the introduction to Songs, Sonnets & Miscellaneous Poems by Thomas Runciman.)
