The Angel In The House. Book II. Canto IX.

© Coventry Kersey Dighton Patmore

III Disappointment
  ‘The bliss which woman's charms bespeak,
  ‘I've sought in many, found in none!’
  ‘In many 'tis in vain you seek
  ‘What can be found in only one.’

Come With The Summer Leaves

© Wilfrid Scawen Blunt

Come with the summer leaves, love, to my grave,
And, if you doubt among the quiet dead,
Choose out that mound where greenest grasses wave
And where the flowers grow thickest and most red.

Questions And Answers

© Oliver Wendell Holmes

WHERE, oh where are the visions of morning,
Fresh as the dews of our prime?
Gone, like tenants that quit without warning,
Down the back entry of time.

Nature At Ease

© Paul Hamilton Hayne

I FEEL the kisses of this lingering breeze,
Warm, close, and ardent as the lips of love,
I quaff the sunshine streaming from above,
Like mellow wine of antique vintages;

Joy that's half too keen, and true

© Augusta Davies Webster

Joy that's half too keen, and true,
Makes us tears.
  Oh! the sweetness of the tears!
  If such joy at hand appears,

The Garrison of Cape Ann

© John Greenleaf Whittier

From the hills of home forth looking, far beneath the tent-like span
Of the sky, I see the white gleam of the headland of Cape Ann.
Well I know its coves and beaches to the ebb-tide glimmering down,
And the white-walled hamlet children of its ancient fishing town.

Early Death

© Hartley Coleridge

She pass'd away like morning dew
Before the sun was high;
So brief her time, she scarcely knew
The meaning of a sigh.

Resurrection

© Alfred Noyes

Once more I hear the everlasting sea
 Breathing beneath the mountain's fragrant
  breast,
Come unto Me, come unto Me,
 And I will give you rest.

Eudoxia. Second Picture

© Dinah Maria Mulock Craik

O DEAREST my sister, my sister who sits by the hearth,
With lids softly drooping, or lifted up saintly and calm,
With household hands folded, or opened for help and for balm,
And lips, ripe and dewy, or ready for innocent mirth,--

Sonnet I: I Thought Once How Theocritus

I thought once how Theocritus had sung


Of the sweet years, the dear and wished-for years,

The Agonie

© George Herbert

  Philosophers have measur'd the mountains,
Fathom'd the depths of the seas, of states, and kings,
Walk'd with a staffe to heav'n, and traced fountains:
  But there are two vast, spacious things,
The which to measure it doth more behove:
Yet few there are that found them; Sinne and Love.

Don't Give A Dose To The One You Love Most

© Sheldon Allan Silverstein

Don’t give a dose to the one you love most.
Give her some marmalade...give her some toast.
You can give her the willies or give her the blues.
But the dose that you give her will get back to youse.

The Conquistador

© Nikolai Stepanovich Gumilev

Conquistador, set in the iron armor,
I gaily follow the outgoing star,
I go over precipices, harbors
And rest in joyful groves, so far.

The Bangle Sellers

© Sarojini Naidu

Bangle sellers are we who bear
Our shining loads to the temple fair...
Who will buy these delicate, bright
Rainbow-tinted circles of light?
Lustrous tokens of radiant lives,
For happy daughters and happy wives.

To Miss Tempe

© George Moses Horton

Bless'd hope, when Tempe takes her last long flight,
And leaves her lass-lorn lover to complain,
Like Luna mantling o'er the brow of night,
Thy glowing wing dispels the gloom of pain.

Alfred And Janet

© Robert Bloomfield

At thirteen she was all that Heaven could send,
My nurse, my faithful clerk, my lively friend;
Last at my pillow when I sunk to sleep,
First on my threshold soon as day could peep:
I heard her happy to her heart's desire,
With clanking pattens, and a roaring fire.

The Wish of a Lover

© Theocritus

Would that I were a humming bee,
And could fly to thy cave,
Creeping through the ivy
And the fern, with which
Thou art covered in.  Now
I know Cupid a powerful god.
