A Dream Of The South Winds
© Paul Hamilton Hayne
O FRESH, how fresh and fair
Through the crystal gulfs of air,
The fairy South Wind floateth on her subtle wings of balm!
And the green earth lapped in bliss,
To the magic of her kiss
Seems yearning upward fondly through the golden- crested calm!

Autumn Thoughts
© John Greenleaf Whittier
Gone hath the Spring, with all its flowers,
And gone the Summer's pomp and show,
And Autumn, in his leafless bowers,
Is waiting for the Winter's snow.

Its warm arms round the marigolds,
Against Listening To Slanderers
© Confucius
Like the blueflies buzzing round,
And on the fences lighting,
Are the sons of slander found,
Who never cease their biting.

To the winds their slanders fling.
"Augustus Gloop..."

"Augustus Gloop! Augustus Gloop!
The great big greedy nincompoop!
How long could we allow this beast
To gorge and guzzle, feed and feast

He was, through boyhood's storm and shower,
My best, my nearest friend;
We wore one hat, smoked one cigar,
One standing at each end.
A Father Out, An Mother Hwome

The snow-white clouds did float on high
In shoals avore the sheenèn sky,

Of if these bloom when worn-out autumn grieves,

The woods of Autumn, all around our vale,
Have put their glory on.

When with misfortune crowned;
Who'll pun beneath a pauper's yoke,
And as he breaks his daily toke,

How much did GOD bestow?
The whole creation homage paid,
And owned him LORD, below!

and over the desolate roads and under the roaring forests of Siberia,

The ever-falling fountain of green leaves
Round the white bending stem, and like a wreath
Of our most blushful flower shine trembling through,
To teach philosophers the thirst of thieves:
Is one for me? is one for you?
