The True Sportsman
© William Henry Ogilvie
The real ones, the right ones, the straight ones and the true,
The pukka, peerless sportsmen-their numbers are but few;
Clerk Saunders
© Andrew Lang
Clerk Saunders and may Margaret
Walked ower yon garden green;
And sad and heavy was the love
That fell thir twa between.
Work.
© Robert Crawford
For thyself work, not for another, so
'Tis possible; else all thy worth is his
Whose maybe paltry payment scarce serves to
The base sufficing of thy bed and board:

The Radiant Ruler of Mystic Regions
Where souls of artists are fitted for birth,
In The Forest

There is no sadness here. Oh, that my heart
Were calm and peaceful as these dreamy groves!
Fulgur
© Victor Marie Hugo
L'océan me disait : Ô poëte, homme juste,
J'ai parfois comme toi cette surprise auguste
Qu'il me descend des cieux une immense rougeur ;
Et je suis traversé tout à coup, ô songeur,
Olney Hymn 33: Seeking The Beloved
© William Cowper
To those who love the Lord I speak;
Is my Beloved near?
The Bridegroom of my soul I seek,
Oh! when will He appear?
Death Of Little Boys

When little boys grown patient at last, weary,
Surrender their eyes immeasurably to the night,
The event will rage terrific as the sea;
Their bodies fill a crumbling room with light.

Give him no pastures green,
But a wet wind and a soft wind
With reek of turf between.

Pur tu copia versavi alma di canto
Su le mie labbra un tempo, Aonia Diva,
Quando de' miei fiorenti anni fuggiva
La stagion prima, e dietro erale intanto
Italian Scenery

Night rests in beauty on Mont Alto.
Beneath its shade the beauteous Arno sleeps
In vallombrosa's bosom, and dark trees
Bend with a calm and quiet shadow down
Upon the beauty of that silent river.
What The Chimney Sang
© Francis Bret Harte
Over the chimney the night-wind sang
And chanted a melody no one knew;
And the Woman stopped, as her babe she tossed,
And thought of the one she had long since lost,
And said, as her teardrops back she forced,
"I hate the wind in the chimney."

We losebecause we win
Gamblersrecollecting which
Toss their dice again!
Jesus, Lord Of Heaven Above
© Anna Laetitia Waring
Jesus, Lord of Heaven above,
Earth beneath is all Thy own
In the depths of Heavenly love
Let my human heart be sown.

© Thomas Bailey Aldrich
It was with doubt and trembling
I whispered in her ear.
Go, take her answer, bird-on-bough,
That all the world may hear--
_Sweetheart, sigh no more_!
Across The Pampas
© Wilfrid Scawen Blunt
Dost thou remember, oh, dost thou remember,
Here as we sit at home and take our rest,
How we went out one morning on a venture
In the West?
Bonie Lesley
© Robert Burns
The Deil he couldna scaith thee,
Or aught that wad belang thee;
He'd look into thy bonnie face
And say, 'I canna wrang thee!'
