A Northern Legend
© William Cullen Bryant
FROM THE GERMAN OF UHLAND.
There sits a lovely maiden,
The ocean murmuring nigh;
She throws the hook, and watches;
The fishes pass it by.
A Mother's Wail

The sweet young Spring walks over the earth,
It flushes and glows on moor and lea;
Alnaschar and the Oxen
© Rudyard Kipling
There's a pasture in a valley where the hanging woods divide,
And a Herd lies down and ruminates in peace;
An Den Anakreon
© Gotthold Ephraim Lessing
Anakreon singt, alles fuehlet:
Und alles gaehnt wenn Codrus spielet.
Anakreon, sprich, wie man spielt,
Dass niemand gaehnt, dass alles fuehlt.
A Fair Melody: To Be Sung By Good Christians

Awake, my heart's delight, awake
Thou Christian host, and hear
A Pepys' "Diary"
© Henry Austin Dobson
You ask me what was his intent?
In truth, I'm not a German;
'Tis plain though that he neither meant
A Lecture nor a Sermon.
A Poor French Sailors Scottish Sweetheart

I CANNOT forget my Joe,
I bid him be mine in sleep;
A Vision Of Christ
© George Essex Evans
Then from the purple dark I saw arise,
Silent, the pale form of the Nazarene,
With deathless light of message in His eyes,
And that vast human pity in His mien,
Purer than purest depths of summer skies,
Not less unfathomed and not less serene.
A Song Of Australia
© Roderick Flanagan
Joy fills to-day my bosom, and it flies through every vein,
It comes as on the parched plain descends midsummer rain;
It fills my soul with gladness, e'en to aerial beings new,
As sunbeams fall on budding flowers when morning gilds the dew.
A Dirge of Joy
© Henry Lawson
Oh, I dance on the Liberal Ladys grave and the Labour Womans, too;
And the grave of the Female lie and shriek, with a dance that is wild and new.
And my only regret in this song-a-let as I dance over dale and hill,
Is the Yarn-of-the-Wife and the Tale-of-the-Girl that never a war can kill.
Alla Sera
© Ugo Foscolo
Forse perchè della fatal quïete
Tu sei l'immago a me sí cara vieni
O Sera! E quando ti corteggian liete
Le nubi estive e i zeffiri sereni,
At The Banquet To The Chinese Embassy
© Oliver Wendell Holmes
BROTHERS, whom we may not reach
Through the veil of alien speech,
Welcome! welcome! eyes can tell
What the lips in vain would spell,--
Words that hearts can understand,
Brothers from the Flowery Land!
An Idyll
© Padraic Colum
You stay for a while beside me with your beauty young and rare,
Though your light limbs are as limber as the foal's that follows the mare;
Brow fair and young and tender where thought has scarce begun,
Hair bright as the breast of the eagle when he strains up to the sun!
Ad Sylonem. Ep. 104.
© Richard Lovelace
Aut sodes mihi redde decem sestertia, Sylo,
Deindo esto quam vis saevus et indomitus;
Aut si te nummi delectant, desine, quaeso,
Leno esse, atque idem saevus et indomitus.
An Apology Written For My Son To His Master
© Mary Barber
I beg your Scholar you'll excuse,
Who dares no more debase the Muse.
My Mother says, If e'er she hears,
I write again on worthless Peers,
Whether they're living Lords, or dead,
She'll box the Muse from out my Head.
Aunt Dorothy's Lecture
© Ada Cambridge
Come, go and practise-get your work-
Do something, Nelly, pray.
A Spring Wooing
© Paul Laurence Dunbar
Come on walkin' wid me, Lucy; 't ain't no time to mope erroun'
Wen de sunshine 's shoutin' glory in de sky,
Along The Ohio
© Madison Julius Cawein
Athwart a sky of brass rich ribs of gold;
A bullion bulk the wide Ohio lies;
Beneath the sunset, billowing manifold,
The purple hill-tops rise.
