Are you the Cove?
© Joseph Furphy
Are you the Cove? he spoke the words
As swagmen only can;
The Squatter freezingly inquired,
What do you mean, my man?
A description of olde Rome

Thou Rome, thy Armes Saint Iohn hath blasd,
most cleare and playne to see:
Thou Rome dost stand on seauen hils,
what Citie olde but thee?
A Hymn On Contentment

Lovely lasting Peace appear;
This World it self, if thou art here,
Is once again with Eden bless'd,
And Man contains it in his Breast.
A Boston Ballad
© Walt Whitman
Clear the way there, Jonathan!
Way for the President's marshal! Way for the government cannon!
Way for the Federal foot and dragoons-and the apparitions copiously
tumbling.
A Womans Sonnets: II
© Wilfrid Scawen Blunt
Nay, dear one, ask me not to leave thee yet.
Let me a little longer hold thy hand.
Too soon it is to bid me to forget
The joys I was so late to understand.
A Captain Of The Press Gang

SHIPMATE, leave the ghostly shadows,
Where thy boon companions throng!
We will put to sea together
Through the twilight with a song.
Andy Veto

Come! Come! Joshua, come!
Don't you think it's time the journey closes?
For you know we'll never stand in the promised land
While Andy Veto's our Moses.
Actors Waiting In The Wings Of Europe (incomplete)
© Keith Douglas
Actors waiting in the wings of Europe
we already watch the lights on the stage
and listen to the colossal overture begin.
For us entering at the height of the din
it will be hard to hear our thoughts, hard to gauge
how much our conduct owes to fear or fury.
Autumn

Thou burden of all songs the earth hath sung,
Thou retrospect in Time's reverted eyes,
An Indian-Summer Reverie
© James Russell Lowell
What visionary tints the year puts on,
When failing leaves falter through motionless air
Autumn Song

Let's go down the road together, you and I,
Let's go down the road together,
Au bois
© Victor Marie Hugo
Nous étions, elle et moi, dans cet avril charmant
De l'amour qui commence en éblouissement.
Ô souvenirs ! ô temps ! heures évanouies !
Nous allions, le coeur plein d'extases inouïes,
A Phantom In The Clouds
© Paul Hamilton Hayne
ALL day the blast, with furious ramp and roar,
Sweeps the gaunt hill-tops, piles the vapors high,
Thro' infinite distance, up the tortured sky--
Till to one nurtured on the ocean-shore,
Awake, my fair
© Yehudah HaLevi
Awake, my fair, my love, awake,
So that I may gaze upon you!
And if one is eager to kiss your lips,
In your dreams this do you see,
Lo, then I myself of your dream
The interpreter will be.
Artemis To Actaeon
© Edith Wharton
And this was thine: to lose thyself in me,
Relive in my renewal, and become
The light of other lives, a quenchless torch
Passed on from hand to hand, till men are dust
And the last garland withers from my shrine.
An Invitation
© Alfred Domett
Well! if Truth be all welcomed with hardy reliance,
All the lovely unfoldings of luminous Science,
Andy McElroe

My brother Andy said, that for a soldier he would go,
So great excitement came upon the house of McElroe.
A Psalm Of Patience

O kid! with face of healthy tan,
With lunch-bag, books and slate;
After The Curfew
© Oliver Wendell Holmes
THE Play is over. While the light
Yet lingers in the darkening hall,
I come to say a last Good-night
Before the final _Exeunt all_.
