© Frank Morton

I dearly long -- perhaps you've learned
  The process, and will let me know it --
To stop a fierce and curdling wail
  And muzzle a forsaken poet.

Summer Dawn.

© Robert Crawford

Come with thy feet to the water, and bathe
Thy beauty here in the stream that will not pass!
The soft green leaves with their shadows swathe
The either bank, and under the ferns and grass

Floridian

© Madison Julius Cawein

  The cactus and the aloe bloom
  Beneath the window of your room;
  Your window where, at evenfall,
  Beneath the twilight's first pale star,
  You linger, tall and spiritual,
  And hearken my guitar.

  Along their mossy bed,
Close by the river's verdant side,
  A castle rear'd its head.

With the ripple of leaves, and the passionate light
  Of the falling suns and the rising moons.

  Why I don't send
The long since due-and-paid-for numbers;
  Why, songless, I
  As drunken lie
Abandoned to Lethean slumbers.

Sires, sons, and sons of sons, were buried all,
She then abounded, and had wealth to spare
For softening grief she once was doom'd to share;

Stage of the ice, the solid ocean,
All from the oil, the pound of lava.
City of spring, the governed flower,
Turns in the earth that turns the ashen
Towns around on a wheel of fire.

AT thy approach, oh, sweet bewitching May!
Through ev'ry wood soft melodies resound;
On silken wings Favonian breezes play,
And scatter bloom and fragrance all around!
