A House of Pomegranates: Title Page
The Young King
Bare Limbed and Pipe in Hand
In a Deserted Churchyard... Beyond the City Gates
A Few Bubbles Where He Sank
It was Like the Face of an Angel
The Fisherman and His Soul
A Spray of Wild Hemlock
And Lo, the City Lay at my Feet
I had Never Seen Anyone so Pale
The Soul in the Watered Garden of Seven Terraces
Her Face was Veiled but Her Feet were Naked
Like a Flower it Tossed on the Waves
The Birthday of the Infanta
The Little Princess had Always to Play Alone
Crouched in the Hollow of an Old Oak Tree
His Dream
The Star Child
But Only a Child Who Was Asleep
And Being Weary She Sat Down Under a Tree to Rest
The Garden of Black Poppies
