You are mine, you are mine
O you wanderer of my boundless sky.

Griselda: A Society Novel In Verse - Chapter V

And suns arose and set, and women smiled,
And tongues wagged lightly in impeachment wild

The Dreamers

THEY lingered on the middle heights
  Betwixt the brown earth and the heaven;
They whispered, 'We are not the night's,
  But pallid children of the even.'
