The Hermit
© Thomas Parnell

His food the fruits, his drink the crystal well:
Remote from man, with God he pass'd the days,
Pray'r all his bus'ness, all his pleasure praise.

Thru all the years.

Show summer gone, ere come. The foxglove tall

To Dr. Austin, Of Cecil Street, London
© William Cowper

The poet's treasure, no inglorious fee.
Loved by the Muses, thy ingenuous mind
Pleasing requital in my verse may find;
Ad Quintium. Cat. Ep. 83
© Richard Lovelace
Quinti, si tibi vis oculos debere Catullum,
Aut aliud si quid carius est oculis,
Eripere ei noli, multo quod carius illi

A Sigh In The Night

O sweet darkness, still, and calm, and lonely!
Spread thy downy pinions round about.
Spare me from thy hidden riches only
One dream-face; blot all the others out.

His poor lost unhappy men?
He returns and is revealed
In the trenches and the field.

Like a day on a stream,

But human hearts remain unchanged: the sorrow
and the sin,

own akin;
Rock 'N' Roll Band

We'd travel all over the land.
We'd play and we'd sing and wear spangly things.
If we were a rock 'n' roll band.
