The Enchantment

© Thomas Otway

I did but look and love awhile,
  ’Twas but for one half-hour;
Then to resist I had no will,
  And now I have no power.

A Lost Chord

© Adelaide Anne Procter

  SEATED one day at the Organ,
  I was weary and ill at ease,
  And my fingers wandered idly
  Over the noisy keys.

Song

© Emma Lazarus

Frosty lies the winter-landscape,
In the twilight golden-green.
Down the Park's deserted alleys,
Naked elms stand stark and lean.

Age And Song (to Barry Cornwall)

© Algernon Charles Swinburne

In vain men tell us time can alter
Old loves or make old memories falter,
That with the old year the old year's life closes.
The old dew still falls on the old sweet flowers,
The old sun revives the new-fledged hours,
The old summer rears the new-born roses.

War And Peace—A Poem

© Felicia Dorothea Hemans

Thou, whose lov'd presence and benignant smile
Has beam'd effulgence on this favour'd isle;
Thou! the fair seraph, in immortal state,
Thron'd on the rainbow, heaven's emblazon'd gate;
Thou! whose mild whispers in the summer-breeze
Control the storm, and undulate the seas;

The Nurse-Life Wheat

© Fulke Greville

THE nurse-life wheat, within his green husk growing,
Flatters our hope and tickles our desire,
Nature's true riches in sweet beauties showing,
Which set all hearts with lobor's love on fire.

  In misery.

A Second Childhood

© Gilbert Keith Chesterton

When all my days are ending
  And I have no song to sing,
  I think I shall not be too old
  To stare at everything;
  As I stared once at a nursery door
  Or a tall tree and a swing.

The Bell-Founder Part I - Labour And Hope

© Denis Florence MacCarthy

In that land where the heaven-tinted pencil giveth shape to the
splendour of dreams,
Near Florence, the fairest of cities, and Arno, the sweetest of streams,
'Neath those hills whence the race of the Geraldine wandered in ages

Dead Roses

© Eugene Field

He placed a rose in my nut-brown hair--
  A deep red rose with a fragrant heart
  And said: "We'll set this day apart,
  So sunny, so wondrous fair."
