Poem by Marjorie Lowry Christie Pickthall To Timarion HAD I the thrush's throat, I could not sing you Songs sweeter than his own. And I'm too poor To lay the gifts that other lovers bring you Low at your silver door. Such as I have, I give. See, for your taking Tired hands are here, and feet grown dark with dust. Here's a lost hope, and here a heart whose aching Grows greater than its trust. Sleep on, you will not hear me. But to-morrow You will remember in your fragrant ways, Finding the voice of twilight and my sorrow Lovelier than all men's praise.
