Merely Suburban
IV.
IV.
Life with the sun in it—
Shaded by gloom!
Life with the fun in it—
Shadowed by Doom!
Life with its Love ever haunted by Hate!
Life's laughing morrows frowned over by Fate!
Young Life's wild gladness still waylaid by Age!
All its sweet badness still mocking the sage!
What can e'er measure the joy of its strife?
What boundless leisure
Count the heaped treasure
Of woe, that's the pleasure
And beauty of Life?

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.)
