To The Republicans Of North America

© Percy Bysshe Shelley

I.
Brothers! between you and me
Whirlwinds sweep and billows roar:
Yet in spirit oft I see

Recalling War

© Robert Graves

Entrance and exit wounds are silvered clean,
The track aches only when the rain reminds.
The one-legged man forgets his leg of wood
The one-armed man his jointed wooden arm.

Flowers

© Madison Julius Cawein

Oh, why for us the blighted bloom!
The blossom that lies withering!
The Master of Life's changeless loom
Hath wrought for us no changeless thing.

The Haystack in the Woods

© William Morris

  Had she come all the way for this,
  To part at last without a kiss?
  Yea, had she borne the dirt and rain
  That her own eyes might see him slain
  Beside the haystack in the floods?

Will, The Maniac

© Washington Allston

HARK! what wild sound is on the breeze?
 'Tis Will, at evening fall
Who sings to yonder waving trees
 That shade his prison wall.

In A Garden

© George Essex Evans

It shall fold you soft as the mist,
Yet stir your heart like the sea,
Till lips that never were kissed
Shall yeld their homage to me.

Bards of the Future! you that come

  With striding march, and roll of drum,

The Songs Of Summer

© Mathilde Blind

The songs of summer are over and past!
  The swallow's forsaken the dripping eaves;
  Ruined and black 'mid the sodden leaves
The nests are rudely swung in the blast:
  And ever the wind like a soul in pain
  Knocks and knocks at the window-pane.

On The Queen's Visit To London, The Night Of The 17th March 1789

© William Cowper

When, long sequestered from his throne,
George took his seat again,
By right of worth, not blood alone
Entitled here to reign;

The Isle Of Voices

© Madison Julius Cawein

The wind blew free that morn that we,
  High-hearted, sailed away;
  Bound for Favonian islands blest,
  Remote within the utmost West,
  Beyond the golden day.

The Offering

© Robert Laurence Binyon

O love, in whose heart--murmured name
Is charm against life's endless wrong,
Since all the untuned world became
In you a song!

Consolations in Bereavement

© John Henry Newman

Death came and went:—that so thy image might
  Our yearning hearts possess,
Associate with all pleasant thoughts and bright,
  With youth and loveliness;
 Sorrow can claim,
Mary, nor lot nor part in thy soft soothing name.

The Eyes Of Youth

© Robert Laurence Binyon

Time buys no wisdom like the eyes of youth,
Though youth itself be blinded with delight,
As a buoyant swimmer by the bursting spray
Of the resplendent surge, and know not yet

Darkness

© John Crowe Ransom

WHEN hurrying home on a rainy night
  And hearing tree-tops rubbed and tossed,
  And seeing never a friendly star
  And feeling your way when paths are crossed:
  Stop fast and turn three times around
  And try the logic of the lost.

Divided

© Jean Ingelow

An empty sky, a world of heather,
 Purple of foxglove, yellow of broom;
We two among them wading together,
 Shaking out honey, treading perfume.

Michael Oaktree

© Alfred Noyes

Under an arch of glorious leaves I passed
Out of the wood and saw the sickle moon
Floating in daylight o'er the pale green sea.

The Borough. Letter XI: Inns

© George Crabbe

All the comforts of life in a Tavern are known,
'Tis his home who possesses not one of his own;
And to him who has rather too much of that one,
'Tis the house of a friend where he's welcome to

In Ithica

© Andrew Lang

Thou too, thy haven gained, must turn thee yet
  To look across the sad and stormy space,
  Years of a youth as bitter as the sea,
Ah, with a heavy heart, and eyelids wet,
  Because, within a fair forsaken place
  The life that might have been is lost to thee.
