      BAY . . A BOOK OF . . POEMS . . BY D: H: LAWRENCE

      To Cynthia Asquith

      CONTENTS

      GUARDS

        Where the trees rise like cliffs

      THE LITTLE TOWN AT EVENING

        The chime of the bells

      LAST HOURS

        The cool of an oak's unchequered shade

      TOWN

        London

      AFTER THE OPERA

        Down the stone stairs

      GOING BACK

        The night turns slowly round

      ON THE MARCH

        We are out on the open road

      BOMBARDMENT

        The town has opened to the sun

      WINTER-LULL

        Because of the silent snow

      THE ATTACK

        When we came out of the wood

      OBSEQUIAL ODE

        Surely you've trodden straight

      SHADES

        Shall I tell you, then, how it is?—

      BREAD UPON THE WATERS

        So you are lost to me

      RUINATION

        The sun is bleeding its fires upon the mist

      RONDEAU

        The hours have tumbled their leaden sands

      TOMMIES IN THE TRAIN

        The sun shines

      WAR-BABY

        The child like mustard-seed

      NOSTALGIA

        The waning moon looks upward

      COLOPHON

      GUARDS!

      A Review in Hyde Park 1913.
