Written in Lawrence's characteristic lyrical style, these poems merge vivid imagery with a raw, passionate intensity, situating them within the context of early 20th-century modernism. This work not only reflects personal sentiments but also encapsulates the zeitgeist, exploring themes of sexuality, nature, and the intricacies of the human experience. The collection serves as both a celebration and critique of love, revealing its transformative power and inherent challenges. D. H. Lawrence, a pivotal figure in modern English literature, was deeply influenced by his own experiences and the socio-cultural upheavals of his time.

Table of Contents

The morning breaks like a pomegranate

In a shining crack of red,

Ah, when to-morrow the dawn comes late

Whitening across the bed,

It will find me watching at the marriage gate

And waiting while light is shed

On him who is sleeping satiate,

With a sunk, abandoned head.

And when the dawn comes creeping in,

Cautiously I shall raise

Myself to watch the morning win

My first of days,

As it shows him sleeping a sleep he got

Of me, as under my gaze,

He grows distinct, and I see his hot

Face freed of the wavering blaze.

Then I shall know which image of God

My man is made toward,

And I shall know my bitter rod

Or my rich reward.

And I shall know the stamp and worth

Of the coin I’ve accepted as mine,

Shall see an image of heaven or of earth

On his minted metal shine.

Yea and I long to see him sleep

In my power utterly,

I long to know what I have to keep, [p.ii]

I long to see

My love, that spinning coin, laid still

And plain at the side of me,

For me to count—for I know he will

Greatly enrichen me.

And then he will be mine, he will lie

In my power utterly,

Opening his value plain to my eye

He will sleep of me.

He will lie negligent, resign

His all to me, and I

Shall watch the dawn light up for me

This sleeping wealth of mine.

And I shall watch the wan light shine

On his sleep that is filled of me,

On his brow where the wisps of fond hair twine

So truthfully,

On his lips where the light breaths come and go

Naïve and winsomely,

On his limbs that I shall weep to know

Lie under my mastery.

KISSES IN THE TRAIN [p.iii]

Table of Contents

I saw the midlands

Revolve through her hair;

The fields of autumn

Stretching bare,

And sheep on the pasture

Tossed back in a scare.

And still as ever

The world went round,

My mouth on her pulsing

Neck was found,

And my breast to her beating

Breast was bound.

But my heart at the centre

Of all, in a swound

Was still as a pivot,

As all the ground

On its prowling orbit

Shifted round.

And still in my nostrils

The scent of her flesh,

And still my wet mouth

Sought her afresh;

And still one pulse

Through the world did thresh.
