Ad Finem

© Wilcox Ella Wheeler

On the white throat of useless passion

That scorched my soul with its burning breath

My brother kneels, so saith Kabir,
To stone and brass in heathen wise,
But in my brother's voice I hear
My own unanswered agonies.
His God is as his fates assign,
His prayer is all the world's-and mine.

The Fishers Boy

© Henry David Thoreau

MY life is like a stroll upon the beach,
As near the oceans edge as I can go;
My tardy steps its waves sometimes oerreach,
Sometimes I stay to let them overflow.

Go Not Far From Me, O My God

© Anna Laetitia Waring

Go not far from me, O my God,
Whom all my times obey;
Take from me anything Thou wilt,
But go not Thou away,
And let the storm that does thy work
Deal with me as it may.

The Rose

© Henry Lawson

We love the land when the world goes round,

Where nobody comes, and nobody knows,
We love the Rose. Oh! we love the Rose.

Our Jack

© Henry Kendall

Twelve years ago our Jack was lost. All night,

Twelve years ago, the Spirit of the Storm

To Anne: Oh, Say Not, Sweet Anne

© George Gordon Byron

Oh, say not, sweet Anne, that the Fates have decreed
The heart which adores you should wish to dissever;
Such Fates were to me most unkind ones indeed,
To bear me from love and from beauty for ever.

Praise The Generous Gods

© William Ernest Henley

Praise the generous gods for giving
In a world of wrath and strife,
With a little time for living,
Unto all the joy of life.

The Unknown God

© Henry Lawson

The President to Kingdoms,

As in the Days of Old;

``Why am I deemed an enemy of men

Who would beyond Life's limit life prolong?

To: Frau Nannette Falk-Auerbach

Als du im Saal mit deiner himmlischen Kunst

Beethoven zeigst, und seinem Willen nach

Snowfall

"She can't be unhappy," you said,

"The smiles are like stars in her eyes,

The Lily Confidante

© Henry Timrod

Lily! lady of the garden!
Let me press my lip to thine!
Love must tell its story, Lily!
Listen thou to mine.

Si una espina me hiere...

¡Si una espina me hiere, me aparto de la espina,
…pero no la aborrezco! Cuando la mezquindad
envidiosa en mi clava los dardos de su inquina,
esquívase en silencio mi planta, y se encamina hacia más puro
ambiente de amor y caridad.

Devotion

Follow thy fair sun, unhappy shadow!
Though thou be black as night,
And she made all of light,
Yet follow thy fair sun, unhappy shadow!

Sonnet Composed On A March Morning In The Woods

THE winds are loud and trumpet-clear to-day;
They seem to sound in onset, half in ire,
Half in the wildness of a vague desire
To force spring's fairy vanguard to delay;
