Near The Wall Of A House

© Yehuda Amichai

Near the wall of a house painted
to look like stone,
I saw visions of God.

Ma Belle

© Coventry Kersey Dighton Patmore

Farewell, dear Heart! Since needs it must I go,

Dear Heart, farewell!

I Know A Man

© Yehuda Amichai

I know a man
who photographed the view he saw
from the window of the room where he made love
and not the face of the woman he loved there.

Hymn Of Trust

© Oliver Wendell Holmes

O Love Divine, that stooped to share
Our sharpest pang, our bitterest tear,
On Thee we cast each earth-born care,
We smile at pain while Thou art near!

Simplify Me When I'm Dead

© Keith Douglas

As the processes of earth
strip off the colour of the skin:
take the brown hair and blue eye

Sonnet 126: "O thou, my lovely boy, who in thy power..."

© William Shakespeare

O thou, my lovely boy, who in thy power

Dost hold Time's fickle glass, his sickle, hour;

If I Forget Thee, Jerusalem

© Yehuda Amichai

If I forget thee, Jerusalem,
Then let my right be forgotten.
Let my right be forgotten, and my left remember.
Let my left remember, and your right close
And your mouth open near the gate.

Songs Set To Music: 20. Set By Mr. De Fesch

© Matthew Prior

Since by ill fate I'm forced away,
And snatch'd so soon from those dear arms,
Against my will I must obey,
And leave those sweet endearing charms.

Sonnet III: Love's Testament

© Dante Gabriel Rossetti

O thou who at Love's hour ecstatically

Unto my heart dost evermore present,

The Day Of Judgment

© Edith Nesbit

When the bearing and doing are over,

And no more is to do or bear,

There is a street where they sell only red meat
And there is a street where they sell only clothes and perfumes. And there
is a day when I see only cripples and the blind
And those covered with leprosy, and spastics and those with twisted lips.

Down In A Shaded Garden

© Robert Laurence Binyon

Down in a shaded garden
I laid upon earth my head:
The deep trees murmured, darkly fresh,
Over my bed;

A Dog After Love

© Yehuda Amichai

After you left me
I let a dog smell at
My chest and my belly. It will fill its nose
And set out to find you.

Rondel

I know thy love unspeakable-
For love's sake able to send woe!
To find thine own thou lost didst go,
And wouldst for men thy blood yet spill!-
How should I know thy final will,
Godwise too good for me to know!

I Have Become Very Hairy

I have become very hairy all over my body.
I'm afraid they'll start hunting me because of my fur.My multicolored shirt has no meaning of love --
it looks like an air photo of a railway station.At night my body is open and awake under the blanket,
like eyes under the blindfold of someone to be shot.Restless I shall wander about;

A Prayer

© Alfred Noyes

Only a little, O Father, only to rest
Or ever the night comes and the eternal sleep,
Only to rest a little, a little to weep
In the dead love's pitiful arms, on the dead love's breast,

Ode to Autumn

© Thomas Hood

I saw old Autumn in the misty morn
Stand shadowless like Silence, listening
To silence, for no lonely bird would sing
Into his hollow ear from woods forlorn,

Half The People In The World

Half the people in the world love the other half,
half the people hate the other half.
Must I because of this half and that half go wandering
and changing ceaselessly like rain in its cycle,

Try to remember some details. Remember the clothing
of the one you love
so that on the day of loss you'll be able to say: last seen
wearing such-and-such, brown jacket, white hat.
