Good Temper
© Charles Lamb
In whatsoever place resides
Good Temper, she o'er all presides;
The most obdurate heart she guides.
'GS' [or the Fourth Cook]
© Henry Lawson
And he peels em hard to Plymouth, peels em fast to drown his grief,
Peels em while his stomach sickens on the road to Teneriffe;
Peels em while the donkey rattles, peels em while the engine thuds,
By the time they touch at Cape Town hes a don at peeling spuds
(And he finds some time for dreaming as he gets on with the spuds).
Gavotte
© Sir Henry Newbolt
Memories long in music sleeping,
No more sleeping,
No more dumb;
Delicate phantoms softly creeping
Softly back from the old-world come.
Give Me Holly
© Christina Georgina Rossetti
But give me holly, bold and jolly,
Honest, prickly, shining holly;
Pluck me holly leaf and berry
For the day when I make merry

When the hoot of the owl comes over the hill,
At twelve o'clock when the night is still,

As the night was beginning to close in one rough September day
In the year of 1838, a steamer passed through the Fairway
Between the Farne Islands and the coast, on her passage northwards;
But the wind was against her, and the steamer laboured hard.
Green Things Growing

O the green things growing, the green things growing,
The faint sweet smell of the green things growing!
I should like to live, whether I smile or grieve,
Just to watch the happy life of my green things growing.

"Attention please! Attention please!
Don't dare to talk! Don't dare to sneeze!
Don't doze or daydream! Stay awake!
Your health, your very life's at stake!
Hoho, you say, they can't mean me.
Haha, we answer, wait and see.
Gone

Another hand is beckoning us,
Another call is given;
And glows once more with Angel-steps
The path which reaches Heaven.
Grandpa's Christmas

In his great cushioned chair by the fender
An old man sits dreaming to-night,

My heart, like a mirror,
Introduced me to a verity of people.
(I have a mirror like reflecting heart, everyone sees his own reflection in my heart)

Thee too, great Pales, will I hymn, and thee,
Amphrysian shepherd, worthy to be sung,

That man is truly great, and he alone
Who venerates, of present things or past

A white and swelling sail,

Its holiday time on the hollyhock hills,
And I wish you would come with me laddie-love, now,
