Of all the fairest Cities of the Earth
None is so fair as Florence. 'Tis a gem
Of purest ray; and what a light broke forth,
When it emerged from darkness! Search within,
In France
© Frances Darwin Cornford
THE poplars in the fields of France
Are golden ladies come to dance ;
But yet to see them there is none
But I and the September sun.
I'm Off'n Wild Wimmen
© Ernest Hemingway
I'm off'n wild wimmen
An Cognac
An Sinnin'
For I'm in loOOOOOOOve.
In Memoriam 16: I envy not in any moods
© Alfred Tennyson
I envy not in any moods
The captive void of noble rage,
The linnet born within the cage,
That never knew the summer woods:
In The Downhill Of Life

In the downhill of life, when I find Im declining,
May my lot no less fortunate be
"I dreamt last night of happy home-comings"
© Lesbia Harford
I dreamt last night of happy home-comings.
Friends I had loved and had believed were dead
Came happily to visit me and said
I was a part of their fair home-coming
In The Pine Barrens. Sunset.

HARK! to the mournful wind; its burden drear
Borne over leagues of desert wild and dun,
Sinks to a weary cadence of despair,
Beyond the closing gateways of the sun.
I'm the little

I'm the little "Heart's Ease"!
I don't care for pouting skies!
If the Butterfly delay
Can I, therefore, stay away?
In Hours Of Ebbing Tide
© Aleksey Konstantinovich Tolstoy
In hours of ebbing tide, oh trust not to the Sea!
It will come back to shore with redness of the morrow;
O don't believe in me when in the trance of sorrow
I swear I am no longer true to thee!
Insects In Summer

Waked by his warmer ray, the reptile young
Came wing'd abroad; by the light air upborne
Lighter, and full of soul. From every chink
And secret corner, where they slept away
I Said It To You
© Paul Eluard
I said it to you for the clouds
I said it to you for the tree of the sea
For each wave for the birds in the leaves
For the pebbles of sound
For familiar hands

The song was one that I had heard before,
But where I knew not. It inclined to sadness;
And, turning round from the delicious fare
My landlord's little daughter Barbara

I.
Fair Isabel, poor simple Isabel!
In Autumn
© Rubén Dario
I know there are those who ask: Why does he not
sing with the same wild harmonies as before?
But they have not seen the labors of an hour
the work of a minute, the prodigies of a year.

HEAVEN rest thee!
We shall go about today
In our festal garlands gay;
In The Marble Quarry

Beginning to dangle beneath
The wind that blows from the undermined wood,
I feel the great pulley grind,
In August
© Paul Laurence Dunbar
When August days are hot an' dry,
When burning copper is the sky,
I 'd rather fish than feast or fly
In airy realms serene and high.
