ROSSBRET HOMEPAGE Hospital Poems by William Ernest Henley From The Cornhill Magazine Vol 32 1875 pp 120-128 Based on Royal Infirmary Edinburgh 18 Short Poems Hospital Outlines - Sketches and Portraits. Sketches First Impressions Waiting The Ward ... Poems in Hospital Series Sketches I First Impressions The mist of morn still drapes the clattering street, The northern summer air is dank and cold, And, lo, the Hospital - grey, quiet, old; My only hope, the Art's best loved retreat. Through the loud emptiness and airy gloom, A small, strange child, so old and yet so young ! Her little arm besplinted and beslung, Precedes me gravely to the waiting room. Sequent I limp - my confidence is gone; The grey-haired soldier-porter bids me on, And on I limp, and still my spirits fail: A tragic meanness seeming to environ These corridors and stairs of stone and iron, Chill, gaunt, and clean - half workhouse and half jail. II Waiting A square, squat room that stinks of drugs and dust, The walls and atmosphere a brownish drab.

2. Henley, William Ernest (1849-1903). Poet, Dramatist. WE Henley. Henley and Stevenson collaborated on four plays Deacon Brodie (1880), Beau Austin (1884), Admiral Guinea (1884), and Macaire (1885). http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~crumey/w_e_henley.html

W. E. Henley Henley was born on 23 August 1849 in Gloucester (England) and suffered tuberculosis as a boy, eventually resulting in the amputation of a leg and twenty months' recuperation in Edinburgh Infirmary (1873-75), where he wrote a number of free-verse poems which established his reputation and were included in "A Book of Verses" (1888). His physical incapacitation left another literary legacy in the form of Long John Silver, the peg-legged character created by Henley's Edinburgh friend Robert Louis Stevenson in "Treasure Island" (1883). Henley and Stevenson collaborated on four plays: "Deacon Brodie" (1880), "Beau Austin" (1884), "Admiral Guinea" (1884), and "Macaire" (1885). His other poetry collections include "The Song of the Sword" (1892), "London Voluntaries" (1893), "Collected Poems" (1898), "Hawthorn and Lavender" (1901) and "In Hospital" (1903). This last includes his best-known poem, "Invictus" (written 1875), which ends: It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.

What does it profit a man to know These tattered and tumbling skies A million stately stars will show, And the ruining grace of the after-glow And the rush of the wild sunrise? Ever the rain the rain and the wind! Come, hunch with me over the fire, Dream of the dreams that leered and grinned, Ere the blood of the Year got chilled and thinned, And the death came on desire!

CROQUIS by: William Ernest Henley (1849-1903) HE beach was crowded. Pausing now and then, He groped and fiddled doggedly along, His worn face glaring on the thoughtless throng The stony peevishness of sightless men. He seemed scarce older than his clothes. Again, Grotesquing thinly many an old sweet song, So cracked his fiddle, his hand so frail and wrong, You hardly could distinguish one in ten. He stopped at last, and sat him on the sand, And, grasping wearily his bread-winner, Staring dim towards the blue immensity, Then leaned his head upon his poor old hand. He may have slept: he did not speak nor stir: His gesture spoke a vast despondency. "Croquis" is reprinted from Poems . William Ernest Henley. London: Macmillan and Co., 1920.

BARMAID by: William Ernest Henley (1849-1903) HOUGH, if you ask her name, she says Elise, Being plain Elizabeth, e'en let it pass, And own that, if her aspirates take their ease, She ever makes a point, in washing glass, Handling the engine, turning taps for tots, And countering change, and scorning what men say, Of posing as a dove among the pots, Nor often gives her dignity away. Her head's a work of art, and, if her eyes Be tired and ignorant, she has a waist; Cheaply the Mode she shadows; and she tries From penny novels to amend her taste; And, having mopped the zinc for certain years, And faced the gas, she fades and disappears.
