The sky is full of the sun and the stars
The universe is full of life

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
A New Pilgrimage: Sonnet XXXIX

Ancient of days! What word is thy command
To one befooled of wit and his own way?
What counsel hast thou, and what chastening hand
For a lost soul grown old in its dismay?
A love song
© Yehudah HaLevi
"Do you see over my shoulders falling,
Snake-like ringlets waving free?
Have no fear, for they are twisted
To allure you unto me."
A Dream Of Good
© Wilfrid Scawen Blunt
To take my place in the world's brotherhood
As one prepared to suffer all its fate;
To do and be undone for sake of good,
And conquer rage by giving love for hate;
That were a noble dream, and so to cease,
Scorned by the proud but with the poor at peace.
As much as spring is more delightful than winter
© Theocritus
As much as spring is more delightful than winter,
As much as the apple than the sloe,
As much as the sheep is more woolly than its lambkin,
As much as a virgin is better than a thrice-wed dame,
After The Tornado
© Paul Hamilton Hayne
Yon mountain height fades in its cloud-girt pall;
The prostrate wood lies smirched with rain and mire;
Through the shorn fields the brook whirls, wild and white;
While o'er the turbulent waste and woodland fall,
Glares the red sunrise, blurred with mists of fire!
A Pastoral Dialogue
© Jonathan Swift
My love to Sheelah is more firmly fixt,
Than strongest weeds that grow those stones betwixt;
My spud these nettles from the stones can part;
No knife so keen to weed thee from my heart.

It was Andrew Jackson Sutter who, despising Mr. Cutter for remarks
he heard him utter in debate upon the floor,
Swung him up into the skylight, in the peaceful, pensive twilight,
and then keerlessly proceeded, makin' no account what WE did--
To wipe up with his person casual dust upon the floor.
"Along the Hard Crust..."
© Anna Akhmatova
Along the hard crust of deep snows,
To the secret, white house of yours,
So gentle and quiet we both
Are walking, in silence half-lost.
A Game of Lawn Tennis
© Amy Levy
What wonder that I should be dreaming
Out here in the garden to-day?
The light through the leaves is streaming,-
Paulina cries, "Play!"
After The German Subjugation Of France, 1871

LO the twelfth yearthe wedding-feast come round

And Japhet, having found his father, said,
"Sir, let me also journey when ye go."
Who answered, "Hath thy mother done her part?"
A Coronal

WITH HIS SONGS AND HER DAYS TO HIS LADY AND TO LOVE
Violets and leaves of vine,
Abner And The Widow Jones

Well! I'm determin'd; that's enough:-
Gee, Bayard! move your poor old bones,
I'll take to-morrow, smooth or rough,
To go and court the Widow Jones.
All Of A Piece
© Roderic Quinn
ALL of a piece were the sunset light,
The rose in the tree, and the golden girl;
Beauty, the weaver, 'twas that wove them,
Weaving deftly, as Beauty can,
At The Making Of Man
© Bliss William Carman
First all the host of Raphael
In liveries of gold,
Lifted the chorus on whose rhythm
The spinning spheres are rolled,
The Seraphs of the morning calm
Whose hearts are never cold.
At Twenty-One
© Madison Julius Cawein
The rosy hills of her high breasts,
Whereon, like misty morning, rests
