© Arthur Rimbaud
O see-saws! O Lilies!
Enemas of silver!
Disdainful of labours,
disdainful of famines!
The Scholar's Relapse
© William Shenstone
By the side of a grove, at the foot of a hill,
Where whisper'd the beech, and where murmur'd the rill,
I vow'd to the Muses my time and my care,
Since neither could win me the smiles of my fair.
The Lord Is His Devotees' Slave
© Sant Surdas
Whatever is a devotee's
caste, clan, family, or name,
Rama's love for him is the same.
A Pipe Of Tobacco
© Henry Fielding
Let the learned talk of books,
The glutton of cooks,
The lover of Celia's soft smackO!
No mortal can boast
So noble a toast
As a pipe of accepted tobacco.

© Hovhannes Toumanian
Beside the laughing lake of Van
A little hamlet lies;
Each night into the waves a man
Leaps under darkened skies.

Into the sacred bosom of my dearest;

Upon the withered trees;
And over there, a choked despair,
You hear the moaning breeze.

Every friend who talked of love, became a foe.
Every eagle shifted its shape to a crow.
They say the night is pregnant, and I say,
Who is the father? And how do you know?
The Gardener
© Arthur Symons
The gardener in his old brown hands
Turns over the brown earth,
As if he loves and understands
The flowers before their birth,
The fragile childish little strands
He buries in the earth.
I Speak Not, I Trace Not, I Breathe Not Thy Name
© George Gordon Byron
I speak not, I trace not, I breathe not thy name;
There is grief in the sound, there is guilt in the fame;
When I would Imagine

When I would image her features,
Comes up a shrouded head:
I touch the outlines, shrinking;
She seems of the wandering dead.
Song 5
© Gaius Valerius Catullus

© John Greenleaf Whittier

One bud from the tree of our friendship is shaken;
One heart from among us no longer shall thrill
With joy in our gladness, or grief in our ill.

© Sara Teasdale
Buildings above the leafless trees
Loom high as castles in a dream,
While one by one the lamps come out
To thread the twilight with a gleam.
