Poem by Arthur Sherburne Hardy

Immortality

My window is the open sky,
The flower in farthest wood is mine;
I am the heir to all gone by,
The eldest son of all the line.

And when the robbers Time and Death
Athwart my path conspiring stand,
I cheat them with a clod, a breath,
And pass the sword from hand to hand!

1. By a Grave
2. With April Arbutus, to a Friend
3. My Friend
4. On the Fly-Leaf of the Rubaiyat
5. Duality
