The Women Who Ministered Unto Him
© George MacDonald
Enough he labours for his hire;
Yea, nought can pay his pain;
But powers that wear and waste and tire,
Need help to toil again.

I Love's Immortality
England My Mother

England my mother,
Wardress of waters.
Builder of peoples,
Maker of men,-
Rain in the Mountains
© Henry Lawson
The sky is of a leaden grey,
Save where the north is surly,
The driven daylight speeds away,
And night comes oer us early.
From 'Lines In Memory Of Edmund Morris'

HERE Morris, on the plains that we have loved,
Think of the death of Akoose, fleet of foot,

"Say that a knight, who holds in great disdain
On A Candle
© Jonathan Swift
Of all inhabitants on earth,
To man alone I owe my birth,
And yet the cow, the sheep, the bee,
Are all my parents more than he:
To A New-Born Child
© William Cosmo Monkhouse
Small traveler from an unseen shore,
By mortal eye ne'er seen before,
To you, good-morrow.
You are as fair a little dame
As ever from a glad world came
To one of sorrow.
It Is The Sinners' Dust-Tongued Bell
© Dylan Thomas
It is the sinners' dust-tongued bell claps me to churches
When, with his torch and hourglass, like a sulpher priest,
His beast heel cleft in a sandal,
Time marks a black aisle kindle from the brand of ashes,
Grief with dishevelled hands tear out the altar ghost
And a firewind kill the candle.
The Greater Love

ONCE upon a time,
Little Golden-Head,
Steeples used to chime,
And their chiming said:
A Suttee
© Letitia Elizabeth Landon
GATHER her raven hair in one rich cluster,
Let the white champac light it, as a star
Gives to the dusky night a sudden lustre,
Shining afar.

Urit spes animi credula mutui.-Hor.
Imitation.
Fond hope of a reciprocal desire

Fondly, too curious Nature, to adorn
Aurora with the blushes of the morn:

Oh! no, I quite injaÿ'd the ride
Behind wold Dobbin's heavy heels,
To M. S. G. : When I Dream That You Love Me
© George Gordon Byron
When I dream that you love me, you'll surely forgive;
Extend not your anger to sleep;
For in visions alone your affection can live,--
I rise, and it leaves me to weep.
When all Thy Mercies, O My God
© Joseph Addison
When all Thy mercies, O my God,
My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, Im lost
In wonder, love and praise.
Conscience
© Madison Julius Cawein
Within the soul are throned two powers,
One, Love; one, Hate. Begot of these,
And veiled between, a presence towers,
The shadowy keeper of the keys.
At Midnight
© Madison Julius Cawein
At midnight in the trysting wood
I wandered by the waterside,
When, soft as mist, before me stood
My sweetheart who had died.
