The Ring And The Book - Chapter IX - Juris Doctor Johannes-Baptista Bottinius

© Robert Browning

  Thus
Would I defend the step,—were the thing true
Which is a fable,—see my former speech,—
That Guido slept (who never slept a wink)
Through treachery, an opiate from his wife,
Who not so much as knew what opiates mean.

Time, Real And Imaginary. An Allegory

© Samuel Taylor Coleridge

On the wide level of a mountain's head 
(I knew not where, but 'twas some faery place), 
Their pinions, ostrich-like, for sails outspread, 
Two lovely children run an endless race,

A Song Of Parting

© Edith Nesbit

QUEEN of my Life, who gave me for my song
  The richest crown a poet ever wore,
Since I have given you songs a whole year long,
  Stoop, of your grace, and take this one song more.

Ode

© Frances Anne Kemble

  With lighter toil than that of brain or heart,
  In the sweet pause of outward life takes part;
  And hope, and fear,—desire, love, joy, and sorrow,
  Wait, 'neath sleep's downy wings, the coming morrow.
  Peace upon earth, profoundest peace in heaven,
  Praises the God of Peace, by whom 'tis given.

"Pent in this common sphere"

PENT in this common sphere of sensual shows,
I pine for beauty; beauty of fresh mien,
And gentle utterance, and the charm serene,
Wherewith the hue of mystic dream-land glows;

The Brook Leaps Riotous

© Augusta Davies Webster

And love, whatever love, sure, makes small boast:
'Tis the new lovers tell, in wonder yet.
Oh happy need! Enriched stream's jubilant gush!
But who being spouses well have learned love's most,
Being child and mother learned not nor forget,
These in their joyfulness feel the tarn's strong hush.
