I join these words for four people,
Some others may overhear them,
O world, I am sorry for you,
You do not know these four people.
Cloudy Sky
© Sheldon Allan Silverstein
And some dry nights she won't come out when she hears him callin'
The tears come streamin' on down his cheeks and that's the rain a fallin'
Don't ya feel it baby hat's the rain a fallin'
Love is just a cloudy sky as far as I can see
And that ol' cloud up in the sky's got as much a chance in love as me
Cupid And Swallows Flying From Winter. By Dagley

Where the sunny eyes whose beams
Waken'd me from my soft dreams?--
These are with the swallows gone,--
Beauty's heart is chill'd to stone.

ir gimiendo y llorando despreciativamente,
como en la Salve, que es un óleo y una fuente!
Crazy Jane On God

That lover of a night
Came when he would,
Went in the dawning light
Whether I would or no;
Men come, men go;
All things remain in God.

And he endued her with his art.

Tu paz -¡oh paz de cada día-
Y mi dolor que es inmortal,
Se han de casar, Amada mía,
En una noche cuaresmal.

Your landscape sickens with a dry disease
Even in May, Virginia, and your sweet pines
Like Frenchmen runted in a hundred wars
Are of a childs height in these battlefields.
Christmas
© Virna Sheard
With all the little children, far and near,
God wot! to-day we'll sing a song of cheer!
To rosy lips and eyes, that know not guile,
We one and all will give back smile for smile;
And for the sake of all the small and gay
We will be children also for to-day.

But how? I am not good;
No thankful song my heart will raise,
Nor even wish it could.

I had a plant which would not thrive,
Although I watered it with care,

Nor even keep the leaves alive.

Et puis, regardez-vous. Même sans ce velours,
Quoique plus belle, enfin vous ressemblez toujours
A celui que parfois votre bouche dénigre.

© Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Come, come thou bleak December wind,
And blow the dry leaves from the tree!
Flash, like a Love-thought, thro' me, Death
And take a Life that wearies me.
