Longfellow Dead

© Paul Hamilton Hayne

AY, it is well! Crush back your selfish tears;
For from the half-veiled face of earthly spring
Hath he not risen on heaven-aspiring wing
To reach the spring-tide of the eternal years?

My life flows on in endless song;

Above earth’s lamentation

The Soul That Loves God Finds Him Everywhere

© William Cowper

O thou, by long experience tried,
Near whom no grief can long abide;
My love! how full of sweet content
I pass my years of banishment!

Drake

© Alfred Noyes

  England, my mother,
  Lift to my western sweetheart
  One full cup of English mead, breathing of the may!
  Pledge the may-flower in her face that you and ah, none other,
  Sent her from the mother-land
  Across the dashing spray.

Romance

© Madison Julius Cawein

Thus have I pictured her:-In Arden old
A white-browed maiden with a falcon eye,
Rose-flushed of face, with locks of wind-blown gold,
Teaching her hawks to fly.

Solomon

© Thomas Parnell

But long expectance of a bliss delay'd
Breeds anxious doubt, and tempts the sacred maid;
Then mists arising strait repel the light,
The colour'd garden lies disguis'd with night,
A pale-horn'd crescent leads a glimm'ring throng,
And groans of absence jarr within the song.

Glory

© Katharine Lee Bates

At the crowded gangway they kissed good-bye.
He had half a mind to scold her.
An officer's mother and not keep dry
The epaulet on his shoulder.

In the Champs Elysees.

"After Our Likeness"

© Ada Cambridge

Before me now a little picture lies-
  A little shadow of a childish face,
  Childishly sweet, yet with the dawning grace
Of thought and wisdom on her lips and eyes.

A New Pilgrimage: Sonnet IV

© Wilfrid Scawen Blunt

Behold the deed is done. Here endeth all
That bound my grief to its ancestral ways.
I have passed out, as from a funeral,
From my dead home, and in the great world's gaze

The Meeting Of The Centuries

© Wilcox Ella Wheeler

A CURIOUS vision, on mine eyes unfurled
In the deep night. I saw, or seemed to see,
Two Centuries meet, and sit down vis-a-vis,
Across the great round table of the world.

Sonnet VI. To G. A. W.

© John Keats

Nymph of the downward smile and sidelong glance!
In what diviner moments of the day
Art thou most lovely? -- when gone far astray
Into the labyrinths of sweet utterance,

Muscadines

© Paul Hamilton Hayne

SOBER September, robed in gray and dun,
Smiled from the forest in half-pensive wise;
A misty sweetness shone in her mild eyes,
And on her cheek a shy flush went and came,

Stars

© Kenneth Slessor

"THESE are the floating berries of the night,
They drop their harvest in dark alleys down,
Softly far down on groves of Venus, or on a little town
Forgotten at the world's edge—and O, their light

"By Eve'ry Sweet Tradition of True Hearts"

© Thomas Hood

By ev'ry sweet tradition of true hearts,
Graven by Time, in love with his own lore;
By all old martyrdoms and antique smarts,
Wherein Love died to be alive the more;

Lights

© Sara Teasdale

When we come home at night and close the door,
Standing together in the shadowy room,
Safe in our own love and the gentle gloom,
Glad of familiar wall and chair and floor,

The Scout Toward Aldie

© Herman Melville

Nine Blue-coats went a-nutting
  Slyly in Tennessee-
Not for chestnuts - better than that-
  Hugh, you bumble-bee!
Nutting, nutting -
  All through the year there's nutting!
