Winter Rain

Falling upon the frozen world last night,
I heard the slow beat of the Winter rain-
The Song Of Hiawatha IX: Hiawatha And The Pearl-Feather

On the shores of Gitche Gumee,
Of the shining Big-Sea-Water,
Nachahmung Dieser Ode
© Gotthold Ephraim Lessing
Juengling, lebst du nicht in Freuden,
Juengling, o so hass ich dich!
Alter, lebst du nicht in Freuden,
Alter, o so hass ich dich!
Hint From Voiture
© William Shenstone
Let Sol his annual journeys run,
And when the radiant task is done,
Confess, through all the globe, 'twou'd pose him,
To match the charms that Celia shows him.
Scenes In London III - The Savoyard In Grosvenor Square
© Letitia Elizabeth Landon
HE stands within the silent square,
That square of state, of gloom;
A heavy weight is on the air,
Which hangs as o'er a tomb.
The Parting.
© Adelaide Crapsey
Was it love breathed on us as on the skies
Dawn breathes for a short space and then is fled;
Envoys
© Edith Nesbit
BROWN leaves forget the green of May,
The earth forgets the kiss of Spring;
And down our happy woodland way
Gray mists go wandering.
Leaves
© Frederic Manning
A frail and tenuous mist lingers on baffled and intricate branches;
Little gilt leaves are still, for quietness holds every bough;
Pools in the muddy road slumber, reflecting indifferent stars;
Steeped in the loveliness of moonlight is earth, and the valleys,
Brimmed up with quiet shadow, with a mist of sleep.
The Old Guard
© Arthur Rimbaud
To the emperor's peasants!
To the peasants' emperor!
To the sons of mars,
to the glorious 18 March!
When heaven blessed
the guts of Eugene!
Parisina
© George Gordon Byron
It is the hour when from the boughs
The nightingale's high note is heard;
If You Show Patience
© Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi
If you show patience, I'll rid you of this virtue.
If you fall asleep, I'll rub the sleep from your eyes.
If you become a mountain, I'll melt you in fire.
And if you become an ocean, I'll drink all your water.
Let Them Go
© Wilcox Ella Wheeler
Let the dream go. Are there not other dreams
In vastness of clouds hid from thy sight
That yet shall gild with beautiful gold gleams,
And shoot the shadows through and through with light?
What matters one lost vision of the night?
Let the dream go!!
The Silver Box

Old tales of valour fire our blood
But this, the bravest deed I know
Is written of our modern times,
No myth of long ago.
The Weaver
© Archibald Lampman
All day, all day, round the clacking net
The weaver's fingers fly:
Gray dreams like frozen mists are set
In the hush of the weaver's eye;
A voice from the dusk is calling yet,
"Oh, come away, or we die!"
The Stranger's Song
© Thomas Hardy
O My trade it is the rarest one,
Simple shepherds all-
My trade is a sight to see;
For my customers I tie, and take 'em up on high,
And waft 'em to a far countree!
One Day And Another: A Lyrical Eclogue Part II
© Madison Julius Cawein
Here at last! And do you know
That again you've kept me waiting?
Wondering, anticipating,
If your "yes" meant "no."
