Jerezanas,

June Nights
© Victor Marie Hugo
In summer, when day has fled, the plain covered with flowers
Pours out far away an intoxicating scent;
Eyes shut, ears half open to noises,
We only half sleep in a transparent slumber.

John Anderson, my jo John,
When we were first acquent
Your locks were like the raven,
Your bonnie brow was brent;
Jenifer's Love
© Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch
Small is my secret-let it pass-
Small in your life the share I had,
Who sat beside you in the class,
Awed by the bright superior lad:
Whom yet with hot and eager face
I prompted when he missed his place.

O crimson-hearted, flower-producing June-
Dear month of love, and laughter, and light song!
Jealousy
© Franklin Pierce Adams
My reason reels, my cheeks grow pale,
My heart becomes unduly spiteful,
My verses in the _Evening Mail_
Are far from snappy and delightful.
I put a civil question, Lyddy:
Is that a way to treat one's stiddy?

January jumps about
in the frying pan
trying to heat
his frozen feet
like a Canadian.
Jove.

Jove himself moves in the abyss
As in the heights he goes;
The God is so in all that is,
Yet is what no one knows.
Jack Cornstalk as a Poet
© Henry Lawson
Not from the seas does he draw inspiration,
Not from the rivers that croon on their bars;
But a wide, a world-old desolation
On a dead land alone with the stars.
John and Freddy

JOHN courted lovely MARY ANN,
So likewise did his brother, FREDDY.
FRED was a very soft young man,
While JOHN, though quick, was most unsteady.
Jetsam

BESIDE the coast for many a rood
Were fragments of a shipwreck strewn;
And there in sad and sombre mood
I walked the sands alone.

JACK CORNSTALK lives in the Southern Land
What says Cornstalk John?
Jack Cornstalk says in a loud firm voice:
Land of the South, lead on.
July The Fourth

As when a little babe is born the parents cannot guess
The story of the future years, their grief or happiness,
So came America to earth, the child of higher things,
A nation that should light the way for all men's visionings;

Joan Of Arc, In Rheims

Thou hast a charmed cup, O Fame!
A draught that mantles high,
And seems to lift this earth-born frame
Above mortality:

Sweet waters from affection's spring.
John Keats,

Before he wrote a poem, he learned the measure
That living in the future gives a farm-
