To Harriet
© Percy Bysshe Shelley
Thy look of love has power to calm
The stormiest passion of my soul;
Thy gentle words are drops of balm
In life's too bitter bowl;
No grief is mine, but that alone
These choicest blessings I have known.
Sea-Shore Memories
© Walt Whitman
Shine! shine! shine!
Pour down your warmth, great Sun!
While we bask-we two together.
Ultima Thule: Old St. David's At Radnor
© Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
What an image of peace and rest
Is this little church among its graves!
All is so quiet; the troubled breast,
The wounded spirit, the heart oppressed,
Here may find the repose it craves.

THE MOCKERY OF LIFE
God! What a mockery is this life of ours!
Cast forth in blood and pain from our mother's womb,
Most like an excrement, and weeping showers
As By Fire
© Wilcox Ella Wheeler
Sometimes I feel so passionate a yearning
For spiritual perfection here below,
This vigorous frame, with healthful fervor burning,
Seems my determined foe,
Love Me
© Sara Teasdale
Brown Thrush singing all day long
In the leaves above me,
Take my love this little song,
"Love me, love me, love me!"
The Electric Tram To Kew
© Lesbia Harford
Through the swift night
I go to my love.
Tram bells are joy bells,
Bidding us move

Kristen Tracy is a poet from San Francisco who here captures a moment at a zoo. It's the falling rain, don't you think, that makes the experience of observing the animals seem so perfectly truthful and vivid?

Sonnet: All My Thoughts
© Dante Alighieri
All my thoughts always speak to me of love,
Yet have between themselves such difference
A Vision Of Repentance
© Charles Lamb
I saw a famous fountain, in my dream,
Where shady path-ways to a valley led;
A weeping willow lay upon that stream,
And all around the fountain brink were spread
Wide branching trees, with dark green leaf rich clad,
Forming a doubtful twilight-desolate and sad.
The Dream Of Christ
© Madison Julius Cawein
I saw her twins of eyelids listless swoon
Mesmeric eyes,
Like the mild lapsing of a lulling tune
On wide surprise,
While slow the graceful presence of a moon
Mellowed the purple skies.
The Testimony Of Divine Adoption
© William Cowper
How happy are the newborn race,
Partakers of adopting grace!
How pure the bliss they share!
Hid from the world and all its eyes,
Within their heart the blessing lies,
And conscience feels it there.
Saturday Night

Saturday night in the crowded town;
Pleasure and pain going up and down,
Fragment. Welcome Joy, And Welcome Sorrow
© John Keats
"Under the flag
Of each his faction, they to battle bring
Their embryo atoms." ~ Milton.

Full many a gloomy month hath passed,
On flagging wing, regardless by,
Lines On The Tomb Of A Favorite Dog

HERE rests the image of a friend,--
Thine, cherish'd BIBI , thine!
Oft to this spot our steps we'll bend,
And call it Friendship's shrine.
"Though I had lost my love"
© Lesbia Harford
Though I had lost my love,
The hills could calm me.
Deep in a woodland grove
No loss could harm me.
