Peace

I
Lovely word flying like a bird across the narrow seas,
When winter is over and songs are in the skies,
Peace, with the colour of the dawn upon the name of her,

O living will that shalt endure
When all that seems shall suffer shock,
Rise in the spiritual rock,
Flow thro' our deeds and make them pure,

III The Heart's Prophecies
  Be not amazed at life; 'tis still
  The mode of God with His elect
  Their hopes exactly to fulfil,
  In times and ways they least expect.

A Farmhouse Dirge

© Alfred Austin

Will you walk with me to the brow of the hill, to visit the farmer's wife,
Whose daughter lies in the churchyard now, eased of the ache of life?
Half a mile by the winding lane, another half to the top:
There you may lean o'er the gate and rest; she will want me awhile to stop,
Stop and talk of her girl that is gone and no more will wake or weep,
Or to listen rather, for sorrow loves to babble its pain to sleep.

On Winter

© George Moses Horton

When smiling Summer's charms are past,
  The voice of music dies;
  Then Winter pours his chilling blast
  From rough inclement skies.

Charleston

© Paul Hamilton Hayne

Then fold about thy beauteous form
The imperial robe thou wearest,
And front with regal port the storm
Thy foe would dream thou fearest;
If strength, and will, and courage fail
To cope with ruthless numbers,

Senlin: A Biography Pt 02: His Futile Preoccupations

© Conrad Aiken

Vine leaves tap my window,
Dew-drops sing to the garden stones,
The robin chips in the chinaberry tree
Repeating three clear tones.

Ned the Larrikin

A SONG that is bitter with grief—a ballad as pale as the light

That comes with the fall of the leaf, I sing to the shadows to-night.

The Dream by the Fountain

© Charles Harpur

Bright was her brow, not the morning’s brow brighter,
 But her eyes were two midnights of passionate thought;
Light was her motion, the breeze’s not lighter,
 And her looks were like sunshine and shadow in-wrought.

The Isle Of Founts

© Felicia Dorothea Hemans

Son of the stranger! wouldst thou take
  O'er yon blue hills thy lonely way,
  To reach the still and shining lake
  Along whose banks the west-winds play?
-Let no vain dreams thy heart beguile,
Oh! seek thou not the Fountain-Isle!
