Nor needs the guard of Moorish bows:

We do not clamour for vengeance,
We do not whine for fear;
The New Sister

Phil. SAY, Pete, do you like her?
Pete. Like! love her you mean!

If the century gone, as the wise ones attest,
Exceeds all the centuries before it,
A Quiet Soul
© John Oldham
Thy soul within such silent pomp did keep,
As if humanity were lull'd asleep;
Earth

A midnight black with clouds is in the sky;
I seem to feel, upon my limbs, the weight
The Wanderer: A Vision: Canto II
© Richard Savage
What scene of agony the garden brings;
The cup of gall; the suppliant king of kings!
The crown of thorns; the cross, that felt him die;
These, languid in the sketch, unfinish'd lie.
The Night In Isla Negra
© Pablo Neruda
Ancient night and the unruly salt
beat at the walls of my house.
The shadow is all one, the sky

Freedom forever from life's weary cares
Or else a life beyond the climbing stairs
And dizzy pinnacles of thought expressed
The Happy Shepherd

To revive the classic memories of Athens at its best,

His sword is sheathed, his pennon furled,

And calling for the dead.
Crosses And Troubles

Crosses and troubles a-many have proved me.
One or two women (God bless them) have loved me.

WINTER forests mutely standing
Naked on your bed of snow,
Wide your knotted arms expanding
To the biting winds that blow,
Nought ye heed of storm or stress,

and the left-hand banks
hold in their violet shadows
