The old grey mother she thrummed on her knee:
There is a rose that's ready;
And which of the handsome young men shall it be?
There's a rose that's ready for clipping.
"My heart is a pomegranate full of sweet fancies"
© Lesbia Harford
My heart is a pomegranate full of sweet fancies,
To crimson with sunshine and swell with the dew.
Warmed by your smile and besprent by your glances
See, it has opened for you!

Monument Mountain

Thou who wouldst see the lovely and the wild
Mingled in harmony on Nature's face,

Machinist's Song

Upon the blue of this fine lady's gown.

With gifts for me,
Night and the goldy streets and liberty.
Many Will Love You
© Mathilde Blind
Many will love you; you were made for love;
For the soft plumage of the unruffled dove
Is not so soft as your caressing eyes.
You will love many; for the winds that veer
Are not more prone to shift their compass, dear,
Than your quick fancy flies.

Whose dream I long have sorrowed oer;
Round about the longing sore,
That the touch of thee shall turn
Into joy too deep to burn.

It speaks with me in fate's non-seldom fits,
When others fear to approach close.
Montgomerie's Peggy

Altho' my bed were in yon muir,
Amang the heather, in my plaidie;
Yet happy, happy would I be,
Had I my dear Montgomerie's Peggy.
My Beard
© Sheldon Allan Silverstein
My beard grows down to my toes,
I never wears no clothes,
I wraps my hair
Around my bare,
And down the road I goes.
March
© Harriet Monroe
I See the snow-drops flutter
Their white wings in the gale.
I hear the robin utter
On high his gallant tale.
