My love, we will go, we will go, I and you,

And away in the woods we will scatter the dew;

Hymns to the Night : 6 : Longing for Death

© Novalis

Blessed be the everlasting Night,
And blessed the endless slumber.
We are heated by the day too bright,
And withered up with care.
We're weary of a life abroad,
And we now want our Father's home.

Invocation

© Edith Nesbit

The Spirit of Darkness, the Prince of the Power of the Air,
The terror that walketh by night, and the horror by day,
The legions of Evil, alert and awake and aware,
Press round him each hour; and I pray here alone, far away.

Of Judgement

© John Bunyan

As 'tis appointed men should die,
So judgment is the next
That meets them most assuredly;
For so saith holy text.

Another Day Of Soldier Life

© Anonymous

Another day of soldier life
Is numbered with the past;
It was not filled with bloody strife,
And did not prove our last.

Don Juan’s Good-Night

© Wilfrid Scawen Blunt

Teach me, gentle Leporello,
Since you are so wise a fellow,
How your master I may win.
Leporello answers gaily
Slip into his bed and way lay
Him; anon he shall come in.

The Knight-Errant

© Virna Sheard

Keen in his blood ran the old mad desire
  To right the world's wrongs and champion truth;
Deep in his eyes shone a heaven-lit fire,
  And royal and radiant day-dreams of youth!

Epipsychidion: Passages Of The Poem, Or Connected Therewith

To the oblivion whither I and thou,
All loving and all lovely, hasten now
With steps, ah, too unequal! may we meet
In one Elysium or one winding-sheet!

The Sleeping Beauty

© Henry Lawson

“Call that a yarn!” said old Tom Pugh,
  “What rot! I’ll lay my hat
I’ll sling you a yarn worth more nor two
  Such pumped-up yarns as that.”
And thereupon old Tommy “slew”
  A yarn of Lambing Flat.

Red Lips Are Not So Red

© Wilfred Owen

Red lips are not so red
  As the stained stones kissed by the English dead.
Kindness of wooed and wooer
Seems shame to their love pure.
O Love, your eyes lose lure
  When I behold eyes blinded in my stead!

The First Meeting Of Radha And Krishna

© Sant Surdas

On the Yamuna bank he chanced to see Radha;
a tika mark of turmeric on her brow,
dressed in a flowing skirt and blue blouse,
her lovely long wreathed hair dangling behind,
a stripling, fair, of beauty unsurpassed
with he a bevy of fair milkmaids:

I mourn no more my vanished years
Beneath a tender rain,
An April rain of smiles and tears,
My heart is young again.

The bhakti path...

© Kabir

The bhakti path winds in a delicate way.
On this path there is no asking and no not asking.
The ego simply disappears the moment you touch
him.

A Sailor's Song

© Paul Laurence Dunbar

Oh for the breath of the briny deep,
  And the tug of the bellying sail,
  With the sea-gull's cry across the sky
  And a passing boatman's hail.
  For, be she fierce or be she gay,
  The sea is a famous friend alway.
