Series; Hogarth living Poets ; No.11. Physical description; 41 pages ; 19 cm. Contents; If I might meet her in the lane -- Cygnet and barnacle goose -- Goosey, goosey gander -- When swans come to the steps -- How shall I haunt her separate sleep? -- She brought with careless hand -- She passed, with the wind in her hair -- Which were the strings, musician -- So we slid between the islands -- The greater cats with golden eyes -- Stave off the moment when the meddling tick -- Put on your smock, princess -- Sagitta, lean your ear between the leaves -- Onyx is counted black, and marble white -- Run back, ran back, false clock -- Such new, unreasonable impatiences -- Time was our banker once -- Between what different moods we alternate -- The catkin from the hazel swung. Subjects; English poetry 20th century.
