A Landscape

© John Cunningham

Now that summer's ripen'd bloom
Frolics where the winter frown'd,
Stretch'd upon these banks of broom,
We command the landscape round.

A Small Room In Aspen

© William Matthews

Stains on the casements,
dustmotes, spiderless webs.
No chairs, and a man waking up,
or he's falling asleep

© Paul Verlaine

It weeps in my heart
As it rains on the town.
What is this dull smart
Possessing my heart?

Out of the heated city's dust and din--

Autumn I

© Thomas Hood

I saw old Autumn in the misty morn
Stand shadowless like Silence, listening
To silence, for no lonely bird would sing
Into his hollow ear from woods forlorn,

A Song For The Time

© John Greenleaf Whittier

UP, laggards of Freedom! — our free flag is cast
To the blaze of the sun and the wings of the blast;
Will ye turn from a struggle so bravely begun,
From a foe that is breaking, a field that's half won?

See the white-crested waves how they stamp and they dance!

An Anniversary

© Paul Hamilton Hayne

O LOVE, it is our wedding day!
This morn,--how swift the seasons flee!--
A virgin morn of cloudless May,
You gave your loyal hand to me,
Your dainty hand, clasped sweet and sure
As Love's sweet self, for evermore!

A Chicot

© Muriel Stuart

IN days of ancient history
Who were you? Tell me if you know.
Between your kisses answer me
To-night, Chicot.

A Bunch Of Trout-Flies

Here's a half-a-dozen flies,
Just about the proper size
For the trout of Dickey's Run,—
Luck go with them every one!

A Childhood

In what purity of pleasure
You danced alone like a peasant
For the stamping joy's own sake!

A Woman’s Sonnets: XII

© Wilfrid Scawen Blunt

'Tis ended truly, truly as was best.
Love is a little thing, for one short day;
You could not make it your life's only quest,
Nor watch the poor corpse long in its decay.

At Night

© Gilbert Keith Chesterton

How many million stars there be,
That only God hath numbered;
But this one only chosen for me
In time before her face was fled.
Shall not one mortal man alive
  Hold up his head?

A Seamark

© Bliss William Carman


COLD, the dull cold! What ails the sun,
And takes the heart out of the day?
What makes the morning look so mean,
The Common so forlorn and gray?
