Flowers in Winter: Painted Upon a Porte Livre.

In graceful counterfeit of flower,
These children of the meadows, born
Of sunshine and of showers!
Fragment: Love The Universe To-Day
© Percy Bysshe Shelley
And who feels discord now or sorrow?
Love is the universe to-day--
These are the slaves of dim to-morrow,
Darkening Life's labyrinthine way.
For A Picture

That nose is out of drawing. With a gasp,
She pants upon the passionate lips that ache
With the red drain of her own mouth, and make
A monochord of colour. Like an asp,

Shall we wake one morn of spring,
Glad at heart of everything,
Feuilles D'Automne
© Duncan Campbell Scott
Gather the leaves from the forest
And blow them over the world,
The wind of winter follows
The wind of autumn furled.
For the Meeting of the Burns Club

Though years have clipped the eagleâs plume
That crowned the chieftainâs bonnet,
The sun still sees the heather bloom,
The silver mists lie on it;
First-Day Thoughts

In calm and cool and silence, once again
I find my old accustomed place among
Farewell To J. R. Lowell
© Oliver Wendell Holmes
FAREWELL, for the bark has her breast to the tide,
And the rough arms of Ocean are stretched for his bride;

Forgiven

I dreamed so dear a dream of you last night!
I thought you came. I was so glad, so gay,

Fragment: A Gentle Story Of Two Lovers Young

A gentle story of two lovers young,
Who met in innocence and died in sorrow,
And of one selfish heart, whose rancour clung
Like curses on them; are ye slow to borrow

And is Love's month, they say;
And Love's the fruit that is ripened best

For Beauty I Am Not a Star
© Woodrow Wilson
For beauty I am not a star,
There are others more perfect by far,
But my face I don't mind it,

Fatal Love
© Matthew Prior
Poor Hal caught his death standing under a spout
Expecting till midnight when Nan would come out;

Whereon each one of us may write
His word or two, and then comes night.

© George Moses Horton

And let the scales be even;
Forbid the poising beam to rear,
And pull thee down from heaven.
