He Needed Not
© George MacDonald
Of whispering trees the tongues to hear,
And sermons of the silent stone;
To read in brooks the print so clear
Of motion, shadowy light, and tone-
That man hath neither eye nor ear
Who careth not for human moan.
Gipsies
© William Wordsworth

Of human Beings, in the self-same spot!
Men, women, children, yea the frame
Of the whole spectacle the same!
Sonnet 28: You That With Allegory's Curious Frame
© Sir Philip Sidney

Of others' children changelings use to make,
With me those pains for God's sake do not take:
I list not dig so deep for brazen fame.

A storm was coming, but the winds were still,
And in the wild woods of Broceliande,
Before an oak, so hollow, huge and old
It looked a tower of ivied masonwork,
At Merlin's feet the wily Vivien lay.
Sonnet LXII
© Charlotte Turner Smith
Written on passing by Moon-light through a Village,
while the ground was covered with Snow.
WHILE thus I wander, cheerless and unblest,
And find in change of place but change of pain;
Open Door
© Paul Eluard
Life is truly kind
Come to me, if I go to you its a game,
The angels of bouquets grant the flowers a change of hue.
Description Of A Lost Friend

LOST--near the 'Change in the city,
(I saw there a girl that seemed pretty)

Ode to West Australia

Land of Forests, fleas and flies,
Blighted hopes and blighted eyes,
Art thou hell in earths disguise,
Westralia?
To The Miami
© Paul Laurence Dunbar
Kiss me, Miami, thou most constant one!
I love thee more for that thou changest not.
In Ampezzo

Only once more and not again-the larches
Shake to the wind their echo, "Not again,"-
We see, below the sky that over-arches
Heavy and blue, the plain
To One Who Comes Now And Then
© Francis Ledwidge
When you come in, it seems a brighter fire
Crackles upon the hearth invitingly,
The household routine which was wont to tire ,
Grows full of novelty.
The Shadowy Waters: The Shadowy Waters
© William Butler Yeats
Second Sailor. And I had thought to make
A good round Sum upon this cruise, and turn
For I am getting on in lifeto something
That has less ups and downs than robbery.
