Cambridge Poets 1900–1913

Victor B. Neuburg . This I knew when long ago I came to God suffused in woe , And he gave his life to me, And he died upon the tree, And the tree gave fruit and bloom , And it grew a god 's green tomb . And he rose again to be All the pulsing world to me. "SEASCAPE . ACROSS the sandy shallows The salt winds cry and mourn ; The little twittering swallows Cry out their notes ; forlorn The grass at the sea 's edge On the cliff ledge . A cold grey sky ; the wind Rustles through the trees ; Chilled grasses weep ; unkind To them the icy breeze . Brown hedgerows sway and creak , The wind 's so bleak . 152
