Der Freund.
Freund! welches Unglueck, welche Reue
Macht dir so bittern Schmerz?
Dawn
© Dorothea Mackellar
At the dawning of the day,
To my happiness thus it fell:
That 1 went the common way,
And 1 witnessed a miracle.
Deacon Jones' Grievance
© Paul Laurence Dunbar
I'VE been watchin' of 'em parson,
An' I'm sorry fur to say
Domestic Peace
© Anne Brontë
Why should such gloomy silence reign,
And why is all the house so drear,
When neither danger, sickness, pain,
Nor death, nor want, have entered here?
Daylight And Moonlight. (Birds Of Passage. Flight The First)
© Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
In broad daylight, and at noon,
Yesterday I saw the moon
Sailing high, but faint and white,
As a schoolboy's paper kite.
Daniel Neall
© John Greenleaf Whittier
I.
FRIENDof the Slave, and yet the friend of all;
Lover of peace, yet ever foremost when
The need of battling Freedom called for men
Don Juan: Canto The Third
© George Gordon Byron
The isles of Greece, the Isles of Greece!
Where burning Sappho loved and sung,
Where grew the arts of war and peace,
Where Delos rose, and Phoebus sprung!
Eternal summer gilds them yet,
But all, except their sun, is set.
Departure

IT was not when I plead with her,
And on a tragic day
Clung sobbing to her skirts of rose,
That Youth went away;
Disenchantment Of Death
© Madison Julius Cawein
Hush! She is dead! Tread gently as the light
Foots dim the weary room. Thou shalt behold.
Look:--In death's ermine pomp of awful white,
Pale passion of pulseless slumber virgin cold:
Bold, beautiful youth proud as heroic Might--
Death! and how death hath made it vastly old.
Dorothy D.

I'm sick of "musn'ts," said Dorothy D.
Sick of musn'ts, as I can be.
From early dawn till the close of day
I hear a musn't, and never a may.
De Scaevola.
© Richard Lovelace
Lictorem pro rege necans nunc mutius ultro
Sacrifico propriam concremat igne manum:
Miratur Porsenna virum, paenamque relaxans
Maxima cum obscessis faedera a victor init,
Plus flammis patriae confert quam fortibus armis,
Una domans bellum funere dextra sua.
Dryas
© André Marie de Chénier
'Tout est-il prêt? partons. Oui, le mât est dressé;
Adieu donc.' Sur les bancs le rameur est placé;
La voile, ouverte aux vents, s'enfle et s'agite et flotte;
Disillusion
© John Le Gay Brereton
When fires have burnt your forest bare and black,
And you are parched and dizzy, and search in vain
Dont Worry, Little Girl
© Edgar Albert Guest
Don't worry, little girl,
Don't you let one golden curl
Get awry.
Days And Days
© Madison Julius Cawein
The days that clothed white limbs with heat,
And rocked the red rose on their breast,
Have passed with amber-sandaled feet
Into the ruby-gated west.
Das Aufgehobene Gebot
© Gotthold Ephraim Lessing
Elise.
Siehst du Wein im Glase blinken,
Lerne von mir deine Pflicht:
Trinken kannst du, du kannst trinken;
Doch betrinke dich nur nicht.
