"One bullock Thou has taken, Lord,
And so it seemeth best.
Thy will be done, but see my need
And spare to me the rest!"

Pity

© William Barnes

Good Meäster Collins! aye, how mild he spoke

Woone day o' Mercy to zome cruel vo'k.

Edwin and Angela, A Ballad

© Oliver Goldsmith

'Turn, gentle hermit of the dale,
And guide my lonely way,
To where yon taper cheers the vale
With hospitable ray.

The Aeneid of Virgil: Book 2

© Publius Vergilius Maro

ALL were attentive to the godlike man,

When from his lofty couch he thus began:

Mayflower, Mayflower, slowly hither flying,
Trembling westward o'er yon balking sea,
Hearts within `Farewell dear England' sighing,
Winds without `But dear in vain' replying,
Gray-lipp'd waves about thee shouted, crying
"No! It shall not be!"

Morals Of Desperation

© Paul Hamilton Hayne

THE man who's wholly ruined, sir, fears nothing;
How can he when all's lost to him already?
There is a desperate gayety which comes
To buoy one up in such a strait as this;

The Spirit says unto the churches,
"Ere ever the churches began
I lived in the centre of Being-
The life of the Purpose and Plan;
I flowed from the mind of the Maker
Through nature to man.

St. Mark's Day

© John Keble

Oh! who shall dare in this frail scene
On holiest happiest thoughts to lean,
On Friendship, Kindred, or on Love?
Since not Apostles' hands can clasp
Each other in so firm a grasp
But they shall change and variance prove.

Epigram I

© John Byrom

Nor Steel, nor Flint alone produces fire;
No spark arises till they both conspire:
Nor Faith alone, nor work without is right;
Salvation rises, when they both unite.

Lavinia

© James Thomson

The lovely young Lavinia once had friends;
And fortune smiled deceitful on her birth:
For, in her helpless years deprived of all,
Of every stay, save innocence and Heaven,

Raising The Dead

© John Kenyon

We all have heard, and marvelled as we heard,

Of seers, who have raised the Dead from out their tombs,

Juvenilia, An OdeTo Natural Beauty

© Alan Seeger

There is a power whose inspiration fills

Nature's fair fabric, sun- and star-inwrought,

Phillis 02

© Thomas Lodge

LOVE guards the roses of thy lips
And flies about them like a bee;
If I approach he forward skips,
And if I kiss he stingeth me.

To A Sister

A fresh young voice that sings to me
So often many a simple thing,
Should surely not unanswered be
By all that I can sing.

Har Qaum Raast Raahay

© Amir Khusro

Every sect has a faith, a direction (Qibla) to which they turn,
I have turned my face towards the crooked cap (of Nizamudin Aulia)
The whole world worships something or the other,
Some look for God in Mecca, while some go to Kashi (Banaras),
So why cant I, Oh wise people, fall into my beloveds feet?
Every sect has a faith, a Qibla.

The Planting

PLANT it safe and sure, my child,
Then cease watching and cease weeping;
You have done your utmost part:
Leave it with a quiet heart:
It will grow while you are sleeping.
