Marmion: Introduction to Canto VI.

© Sir Walter Scott

Heap on more wood! the wind is chill;

But let it whistle as it will,

London - in Imitation of the Third Satire of Juvenal

© Samuel Johnson

'--Quis ineptae

Tam patiens urbis, tam ferreus ut teneat se?' ~ Juv.

You say I do not love you!--Tell me why,
When I have gazed a little on your face,
And then gone forth into the world of men,
A beauty, neither of the Earth or Sky,
A glamour, that transforms each common place,
Attends my spirit then?

The Death Of President Lincoln

© Joseph Furphy

Now let the howling tempest roar
For Booth can feel its force no more;
Now let the captors bend their steel
Against the form that cannot feel
Their tyranny has spent its hour
And Booth is far beyond their power.

Thoughts Of Christmas-Day In India

© Letitia Elizabeth Landon

IT is Christmas, and the sunshine
Lies golden on the fields,
And flowers of white and purple
Yonder fragrant creeper yields.

Canto IV

Sonnet (Written in Keats' "Endymion")

© Thomas Hood

I saw pale Dian, sitting by the brink
Of silver falls, the overflow of fountains
From cloudy steeps; and I grew sad to think
Endymion's foot was silent on those mountains.

Winter Streams

© Bliss William Carman

NOW the little rivers go
Muffled safely under snow,
And the winding meadow streams
Murmur in their wintry dreams,

Joy's City

© Isabella Valancy Crawford

Joy's City hath high battlements of gold;
Joy's City hath her streets of gem-wrought flow'rs;
She hath her palaces high reared and bold,
And tender shades of perfumed lily bowers;
But ever day by day, and ever night by night,
An Angel measures still our City of Delight.

The Kansas Emigrants

© John Greenleaf Whittier

THE KANSAS EMIGRANTS.
WE cross the prairie as of old
The pilgrims crossed the sea,
To make the West, as they the East,

The Spagnoletto. Act I

© Emma Lazarus

SCENE--During the first four acts, in Naples; latter part of the
fifth act, in Palermo. Time, about 1655.

First Love

© Washington Allston

Ah me! how hard the task to bear
The weight of ills we know!
But harder still to dry the tear,
That mourns a nameless we.

The Island In The South

© Paul Hamilton Hayne

THE ship went down at noonday in a cam,
When not a zephyr broke the crystal sea.
We two escaped alone: we reached an isle
Whereon the water settled languidly

James Russell Lowell

THOU shouldst have sung the swan-song for the choir
That filled our groves with music till the day
Lit the last hilltop with its reddening fire,
And evening listened for thy lingering lay.

The Spells Of Home

There blend the ties that strengthen
Our hearts in hours of grief,
The silver links that lengthen
Joy's visits when most brief. ~ BERNARD BARTON.

Heart's-Ease

Thou art to me-a comfort past compare-
For thy joy-kindling presence, sweet as May,
Sets all my nerves to music, makes away
With sorrow and the numbing frost of care,
Until the influence of thine eyes' bright sway
Has made life's glass go up from foul to fair.

Ode VI: Hymn To Cheerfulness

Friend to the Muse and all her train,
For thee i court the Muse again:
The Muse for thee may well exert
Her pomp, her charms, her fondest art,
Who owes to thee that pleasing sway
Which earth and peopled heaven obey.
