The Ballad of Bouillabaisse
...
I wonder if the house still there is?
Yes, here the lamp is, as before;
The smiling red-cheeked écaillére is
Still opening oysters at the door.
Is Terré still alive and able?
I recollect his droll grimace;
He'd come and smile before your table,
And hope you liked your Bouillabaisse?"

From A Christmas. Carol
...
What. can I give Him,
Poor as I am?
if I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb,
If I were a Wise Man
I would do my part, —
But what I can I give Him,
Give my heart,

Remembrance
Sweet Love of youth, forgive, if I forget thee,
While the world's tide is bearing me along;
Other desires and other hopes beset me,
Hopes which obscure, but cannot do thee wrong!

Sometimes
Sheenagh Pugh
(December 20th 1950 — )
...but it isn't anywhere near skilful or subtle enough and I would cheerfully disown it, if people didn't now and then write to me saying it had helped them. I originally wrote "the sun will sometimes melt a field of snow" (the sportsman's drug of choice was cocaine), but I mistyped "sorrow" for "snow" and then decided I like that better.

Reluctance
...
Ah, when to the heart of man
Was it ever less than a treason
To go with the drift of things,
To yield with a grace to reason,
And bow and accept the end
Of a love or a season?

An Arab Love-Song.
Francis Thompson
(December 18th 1859 — November 15th 1907)
... The manuscript languished for six months before the editor, Wilfred Meynell, read it and dedetermined to print it. Thompson proved untraceable, so Meynell published the poems anyway, hoping Thompson would get in touch. When he did, giving his contact address as a local chemist, the two became life-long friends.
