A Una Ausente Serafica
© Ramon Lopez Velarde
Estos, amada, son sitios vulgares
en que en el ruido mundanal se asusta
el alma fidelísima, que gusta
de evocar tus encantos familiares.
Autumn
© Thomas Ernest Hulme
A touch of cold in the Autumn night -
I walked abroad,
And saw the ruddy moon lean over a hedge
Like a red-faced farmer.
As She Passes
© Fernando António Nogueira Pessoa
When I am sitting at the window,
Through the panes, which the snow blurs,
I see the lovely images, hers, as
She passes… passes… passes by…
And So I've Found My Native Country...
© Attila Jozsef
And so I've found my native country,
that soil the gravedigger will frame,
where they who write the words above me
do not for once misspell my name.
After A Lecture On Keats
© Oliver Wendell Holmes
"Purpureos spargam flores."
THE wreath that star-crowned Shelley gave
A Loving-Cup Song
© Oliver Wendell Holmes
COME, heap the fagots! Ere we go
Again the cheerful hearth shall glow;
April
© Sara Teasdale
The roofs are shining from the rain.
The sparrows tritter as they fly,
And with a windy April grace
The little clouds go by.
A Winter's Tale
© Dylan Thomas
It is a winter's tale
That the snow blind twilight ferries over the lakes
And floating fields from the farm in the cup of the vales,
Gliding windless through the hand folded flakes,
The pale breath of cattle at the stealthy sail,
A Dream Of Death
© Dinah Maria Mulock Craik
WHERE shall we sail to-day?"--Thus said, methought,
A voice that only could be heard in dreams:
And on we glided without mast or oar,
A wondrous boat upon a wondrous sea.
As My Uncle Used To Say
© James Whitcomb Riley
I've thought a power on men and things,
As my uncle ust to say,--
A Pilgrim's Way
© Rudyard Kipling
I do not look for holy saints to guide me on my way,
Or male and female devilkins to lead my feet astray.
If these are added, I rejoice--if not, I shall not mind,
So long as I have leave and choice to meet my fellow-kind.
For as we come and as we go (and deadly-soon go we!)
The people, Lord, Thy people, are good enough for me!
After Hearing 'Robin Hood'
© Franklin Pierce Adams
The songs of Sherwood Forest
Are lilac-sweet and clear;
The virile rhymes of merrier times
Sound fair upon mine ear.
Ave
© Oliver Wendell Holmes
FULL well I know the frozen hand has come
That smites the songs of grove and garden dumb,
And chills sad autumn's last chrysanthemum;
A Whaler's Confession
© Harry Kemp
Three long years a-sailing, three long years a-whaling,
Kicking through the ice floes, caught in calm or gale,
Lost in flat Sargasso seas, cursing at the prickly heat,
Going months without a sight of another sail.
At My Window After Sunset
© George MacDonald
Heaven and the sea attend the dying day,
And in their sadness overflow and blend-
Faint gold, and windy blue, and green and gray:
Far out amid them my pale soul I send.
A Picture Of Husbandry
© Confucius
The plants will ear; within their sheath confined,
The grains will harden, and be good in kind.
Nor darnel these, nor wolf's-tail grass infests;
An Ode To Fortune
© Eugene Field
O Lady Fortune! 't is to thee I call,
Dwelling at Antium, thou hast power to crown
Another Tattered Rhymster In The Ring
© Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Another tattered rhymster in the ring,
With but the old plea to the sneering schools,
That on him too, some secret night in spring
Came the old frenzy of a hundred fools
An Impetuous Resolve
© James Whitcomb Riley
When little Dickie Swope's a man,
He's go' to be a Sailor;
