And then I neither know nor care
What sense the printed words may bear.
Parting

WHEN hides the sun behind a bank of cloud,
Though well we know the sun is shining still,

So Helen shone above us,
All loveliness and light.

Who were you? Tell me if you know.
Between your kisses answer me
To-night, Chicot.
A Bunch Of Trout-Flies
© Henry Van Dyke
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!
Psalm of the Day
© Emily Dickinson
A something in a summer's Day
As slow her flambeaux burn away
Which solemnizes me.
Olney Hymn 38: Looking Upwards In A Storm

God of my life, to Thee I call,
Afflicted at Thy feet I fall;

A burden more than I can bear,
Recalling War

Entrance and exit wounds are silvered clean,
The track aches only when the rain reminds.
The one-legged man forgets his leg of wood
The one-armed man his jointed wooden arm.

THY verse is like a cool and shady well
Lying a-dream within some moss-walled close
The Discharge

Busie enquiring heart, what wouldst thou know?
Why dost thou prie,
And turn, and leer, and with a licorous eye

© Madison Julius Cawein
The wind blew free that morn that we,
High-hearted, sailed away;
Bound for Favonian islands blest,
Remote within the utmost West,
Beyond the golden day.
