She saw an old man standing still,
His eyes in tranced sorrow bound
On the broad stretch of barren ground.

June Thunder

© Louis MacNeice

Roads, the mudguards brushing the cowparsley,
Through fields of mustard and under boldly embattled

As hungry as could be,
He cried to Sue, the servant-maid,

July

© Hilaire Belloc

And reading how, in that far month, the ranks
Formed on the edge of the desert, armoured all,
I wish to God that I had been with them
When the first Norman leapt upon the wall,
And Godfrey led the foremost of the Franks,
And young Lord Raymond stormed Jerusalem.

I spied John Mouldy in his celler,
Deep down twenty steps of stone;
In the dusk he sat a-smiling
Smiling there all alone.

In a Harlem cabaret
Six long-headed jazzers play.
A dancing girl whose eyes are bold
Lifts high a dress of silken gold.

Je ne me mets pas en peine
Du clocher ni du beffroi ;

Et je ne sais rien du roi ;

Tail-spinning from the shelves of sky
See how it dips and tacks and tosses
To cast a beam in the mind's eye:
Who will count the gains and the losses
On the Day of Jubilo?

I love, I am loved, he is mine,
Now at last I can die!

Joys Within Reach

You needn't be rich to be happy,

You needn't be famous to smile;
