A Granville, en 1836

© Victor Marie Hugo

Voici juin. Le moineau raille
Dans les champs les amoureux ;
Le rossignol de muraille
Chante dans son nid pierreux.

Autumn

© Christina Georgina Rossetti


Mine avenue is all a growth of oaks,
Some rent by thunder strokes,
Some rustling leaves and acorns in the breeze;
Fair fall my fertile trees,
That rear their goodly heads, and live at ease.

And did my Sovereign die?

A Portrait

© Oliver Wendell Holmes

Thoughtful in youth, but not austere in age;
Calm, but not cold, and cheerful though a sage;
Too true to flatter and too kind to sneer,
And only just when seemingly severe;
So gently blending courtesy and art
That wisdom’s lips seemed borrowing friendship’s heart.

Some will not return: I too
offend the powers that be, am banned
from home. Oh maternal land,

Windy the sky and mad;
  Surly the gray March day;
  Bleak the forests and sad,
  Sad for the beautiful May.

O SOLITARY shining sea
That ripples in the sun,
O gray and melancholy sea,
O'er which the shadows run;

Angered Reason

© Robert Laurence Binyon

Angered Reason walked with me
A street so squat, unshapen, bald,
So blear--windowed and grimy--walled,
So dismal--doored, it seemed to be

Alma En Pena

© Ramon Lopez Velarde

¿Por qué, Fuensanta mía,
si mi pasión de ayer está ya muerta
y en tu rostro se anuncia los estragos
de la vejez temida que se acerca,
tu boca es una invitación al beso
como lo fue en lejanas primaveras?

A Christmas Carol

It chanced upon the merry merry Christmas eve,

I went sighing past the church across the moorland dreary-

A Wish

© Samuel Rogers

Mine be a cot beside the hill,
A bee-hive's hum shall sooth my ear;
A willowy brook, that turns a mill,
With many a fall shall linger near.
