© William Henry Drummond

I know that all beneath the moon decays

And what by mortals in this world is brought,

Yet, when from the frowning east a sudden gust
Of adverse fate is blown, or sad rains fall
Day in, day out, against its yielding wall,
Lo! the fair structure crumbles to the dust.
Love, to endure life's sorrow and earth's woe,
Needs friendship's solid masonwork below.

© John Greenleaf Whittier

A sound as if from bells of silver,
Or elfin cymbals smitten clear,

© Wilcox Ella Wheeler

Time has made conquest of so many things
That once were mine. Swift-footed, eager youth
That ran to meet the years; bold brigand health,
That broke all laws of reason unafraid,
And laughed at talk of punishment. Close ties

This Morning

This morning was something. A little snow

lay on the ground. The sun floated in a clear

I Once Knew A Woman

© Sheldon Allan Silverstein

Well now I once knew a woman listen while I tell you all about her yeah
And the first time I seen her I knew I couldn't live without her
Well now she swore she'd love me all her life and I knew I'd do the same

I ply my barren wit, and jest at thee.
Thou heedest not, or dost forgive the pain,

Orlando Furioso Canto 11

Ode to the Great Unknown

"O breathe not his name!"Moore.

I
