Epistle To Augusta

  I.
  My sister! my sweet sister! if a name
  Dearer and purer were, it should be thine;
  Mountains and seas divide us, but I claim

A Colloquy: (For M. W.)

"When you get to Heaven, seek and find my boy.
  Mother him!" "Until you come?" "I shall never come.
Earth was good enough for me who had all my joy
  In my Love, my Light of home.

Occasional Address

© Charlotte Turner Smith

Written for the benefit of a distressed Player, detained
at Brighthelmstone for Debt, November 1792.
WHEN in a thousand swarms, the summer o'er,
The birds of passage quit our English shore,
By various routs the feather'd myriad moves;
The Becca-Fica seeks Italian groves,

The Fount Of Tears

© Paul Laurence Dunbar

All hot and grimy from the road,
  Dust gray from arduous years,
  I sat me down and eased my load
  Beside the Fount of Tears.

The Isles Of Greece

© George Gordon Byron

  The mountains look on Marathon-
  And Marathon looks on the sea;
  And musing there an hour alone,
  I dreamed that Greece might still be free;
  For standing on the Persians' grave,
  I could not deem myself a slave.

The Southern Mother's Charge

You go, my son, to the battle-field
To repel the invading foe;
'Mid its fiercest conflicts never yield
Till death shall lay you low.

The House Of Dust: Part 01: 05:

© Conrad Aiken

The snow floats down upon us, we turn, we turn,
Through gorges filled with light we sound and flow . . .
One is struck down and hurt, we crowd about him,
We bear him away, gaze after his listless body;
But whether he lives or dies we do not know.

The King and the Sea

© Rudyard Kipling

After His Realms and States were moved
To bare their hearts to the King they loved,
Tendering themselves in homage and devotion,
The Tide Wave up the Channel spoke
To all those eager, exultant folk:-
"Hear now what Man was given you by the Ocean!

Change

REMEMBER me as I was then;
Turn from me now, but always see
The laughing shadowy girl who stood
At midnight by the flowering tree,

The Voices Of The Ocean

© Robert Laurence Binyon

All the night the voices of ocean around my sleep
Their murmuring undulation sleepless kept.
Rocked in a dream I slept,
Till drawn from trances deep

Song at the Feast of Brougham Castle

© William Wordsworth


  Alas! the impassioned minstrel did not know
  How, by Heaven's grace, this Clifford's heart was framed:
  How he, long forced in humble walks to go,
  Was softened into feeling, soothed, and tamed.

August

© Algernon Charles Swinburne

THERE WERE four apples on the bough,
Half gold half red, that one might know
The blood was ripe inside the core;
The colour of the leaves was more
Like stems of yellow corn that grow
Through all the gold June meadow’s floor.

Ode To The

© George Canning

How blest, how firm the Statesman stands,
 (Him no low intrigue shall move),
Circled by faithful kindred bands,
 And propp'd by fond fraternal love.

The Tree

© Marjorie Lowry Christie Pickthall

IN the dim woods, one tree
Was by the cunning seasons builded fair
With the rain's masonry
And delicate craft of air.

John Bede Polding

© Henry Kendall

With reverent eyes and bowed, uncovered head,
 A son of sorrow kneels by fanes you knew;
But cannot say the words that should be said
 To crowned and winged divinities like you.

From the Grave

© Wilcox Ella Wheeler

When the first sere leaves of the year were falling,
I heard, with a heart that was strangely thrilled,
Out of the grave of a dead Past calling,
A voice I fancied forever stilled.
