Image
Beauty is a fading flower,Truth is but a wizard's tower,Where a solemn death-bell tolls,And a forest round it rolls.
Alfred Noyes
Image
Your dreamers may dream it The shadow of a dream, Your sages may deem it A bubble on the stream Yet our kingdom draweth nigher With each dawn and every day, Through the earthquake and the fire Love will find out the way.
Alfred Noyes
Image
Only in souls the Christ is brought to birth, And there He lives and dies.
Alfred Noyes
Image
At a certain stage in his evolution, man himself had been able to lay hold upon a higher order of things, which raised him above the level of the beasts that perish, and enabled him to see, at least in the distance, the shining towers of the City of God.
Alfred Noyes
Image
Your God still walks in Eden, between the ancient trees, Where Youth and Love go wading through pools of primroses. And this is the sign we bring you, before the darkness fall, That Spring is risen, is risen again, That Life is risen, is risen again, That Love is risen, is risen again, and Love is Lord of all.
Alfred Noyes

Bring the buds of the hazel-copse, Where two lovers kissed at noon Bring the crushed red wild-thyme tops Where they murmured under the moon.
Alfred Noyes
Image
Heart of my heart, we are one with the wind, One with the clouds that are whirled o'er the lea, One in many, O broken and blind, One as the waves are at one with the sea! Ay! when life seems scattered apart, Darkens, ends as a tale that is told, One, we are one, O heart of my heart, One, still one, while the world grows old.
Alfred Noyes
Image
Outlawed, but not alone, for Love Is outlawed, too. You cannot banish us, proud world: We banish you.
Alfred Noyes
Image
Happy, happy, happy for all that God hath done, Glad of all the little leaves dancing in the sun.

Image
Luke associates John with Peter in Acts, when, after the Resurrection, that strange boldness had come upon the disciples.
Alfred Noyes
Image
Oh, grown-ups cannot understand, And grown-ups never will, How short the way to fairyland Across the purple hill.
Alfred Noyes
Image
I'll come to thee by moonlight, though hell should bar the way.
Alfred Noyes
Image
Enough of dreams! No longer mock The burdened hearts of men! Not on the cloud, but on the rock Build thou thy faith again O range no more the realms of air, Stoop to the glen-bound streams Thy hope was all too like despair: Enough, enough of dreams.
Alfred Noyes
Image
This outer world is but the pictured scroll Of worlds within the soul A colored chart, a blazoned missal-book, Whereon who rightly look May spell the splendors with their mortal eyes, And steer to Paradise.
Alfred Noyes
Image
Heart of my heart, the world is young Love lies hidden in every rose! Every song that the skylark sung Once, we thought, must come to a close: Now we know the spirit of song, Song that is merged in the chant of the whole, Hand in hand as we wander along, What should we doubt of the years that roll?

Of the sayings of Christ in the Synoptic Gospels that can be compared to those in the fourth Gospel, there are one or two which I venture to think can only have been recorded on the authority of St. John.

If ever I had any doubts about the fundamental realities of religion, they could always be dispelled by one memory- the light upon my father's face as he came back from early communion.

There’s a magic in the distance, where the sea-line meets the sky.
Alfred Noyes
Image
The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees, The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas, The road was a ribbon of moonlight, over the purple moor, And the highwayman came riding-- Riding--riding-- The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.
