To The Castle Ramparts

© William Michael Rossetti

  Great clouds were arched abroad
  Like angels' wings; returning beneath which,
  I lingered homewards. All their forms had merged
  And loosened when my walk was ended; and,
  While yet I saw the sun a perfect disc,
  There was the moon beginning in the sky.

Twinkling amid the dark blue depths of Heaven,--

The Dance Of The Seven Sins

© Arthur Symons

THE STAGE-MANAGER
It is. Each morning that decays
To midnight ends the world as well,
For the world's day, as that farewell
When, at the ultimate judgment-Stroke,
Heaven too shall vanish in pale smoke.

The Island In The South

© Paul Hamilton Hayne

THE ship went down at noonday in a cam,
When not a zephyr broke the crystal sea.
We two escaped alone: we reached an isle
Whereon the water settled languidly

The Purgatory Of St. Patrick - Act II

© Denis Florence MacCarthy

PHILIP [aside].  If to find my death I come,
Why precipitate my doom?
But so patient who could be
As to not desire to see
What impends, how dark its gloom?

The Murrumbidgee Shearer

© Anonymous

Come, all you jolly natives, and I'll relate to you
Some of my observations - adventures, too, a few.
I've travelled about the country for miles full many a score,
And oft-times would have hungered, but for the cheek I bore.

V The Praise of Love
  Spirit of Knowledge, grant me this:
  A simple heart and subtle wit
  To praise the thing whose praise it is
  That all which can be praised is it.

The Wife Of Brittany

© Paul Hamilton Hayne

TRUTH wed to beauty in an antique tale,
Sweet-voiced like some immortal nightingale,
Trills the clear burden of her passsionate lay,
As fresh, as fair as wonderful to-day
As when the music of her balmy tongue
Ravished the first warm hearts for whom she sung.

  That every man in arms should wish to be?
  -It is the generous Spirit, who, when brought
  Among the tasks of real life, hath wrought

The Princess (part 1)

© Alfred Tennyson

A prince I was, blue-eyed, and fair in face,
Of temper amorous, as the first of May,
With lengths of yellow ringlet, like a girl,
For on my cradle shone the Northern star.

The Devil's Thoughts

© Samuel Taylor Coleridge

From his brimstone bed at break of day
A walking the DEVIL is gone,
To visit his little snug farm of the earth
And see how his stock went on.
