North Labrador
© Hart Crane
A land of leaning ice
Hugged by plaster-grey arches of sky,
Flings itself silently
Into eternity.
Nature's Praise
© John Austin
Hark, my soul, how everything
Strives to serve our bounteous King:
Each a double tribute pays,
Sings its part, and then obeys.
Nature, Betrothed and Wedded
© Paul Hamilton Hayne
HAVE you not noted how in early spring,
From out the forests, past the murmuring brooks,
O'er the hillsides, Nature, with airy grace,
Like some fair virgin, touched by lights and shades,
Nyx (English translation)
© Catherine Pozzi
O you, my nights, O long-awaited black-
ness, O proud country, O obstinate sec-
rets, O long looks, O thundering clouds
O flight beyond skies which are closed
No Boy Knows
© James Whitcomb Riley
There are many things that boys may know--
Why this and that are thus and so,--
National Monuments
© Henry Van Dyke
These monuments of manhood strong and high
Do more than forts or battle-ships to keep
Our dear-bought liberty. They fortify
The heart of youth with valour wise and deep;
They build eternal bulwarks, and command
Eternal strength to guard our native land.

The breezes blow on the river below,
And the fleecy clouds float high,
Ni-Chans Dirge For Yen-Oey

SO soon asleep! Now must the coming years
Weep ignorantly their loss they cannot know,
No Children!
© Edgar Albert Guest
No children in the house to play-
It must be hard to live that way!
New Year Snow
© Edith Nesbit
THE white snow falls on hill and dale,
The snow falls white by square and street,
Falls on the town, a bridal veil,
And on the fields a winding-sheet.
Nearer To Thee
© Louisa May Alcott
"Nearer, my God, to thee,
E'en though a cross it be
That raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to thee.
Nearer to thee!"
Noli Aemulari
© Arthur Hugh Clough
In controversial foul impureness
The peace that is thy light to thee
Quench not: in faith and inner sureness
Possess thy soul and let it be.
Nineteen Nine
© Henry Lawson
There's a light out there in the nearer east
In the dawn of Nineteen Nine;
Nobody Cometh To Woo
© John Clare
On Martinmas eve the dogs did bark,
And I opened the window to see,
Not All The Singers Of A Thousand Years
© Lord Alfred Douglas
And did you ask who signed the plea with you?
Fools! It was signed already with the sign
Of great dead men, of God-like Socrates,
Shakespeare and Plato and the Florentine
Who conquered form. And all your pretty crew
Once, and once only, might have stood with these.
Nursing
© Charles Lamb
O hush, my little baby brother;
Sleep, my love, upon my knee.
What though, dear child, we've lost our mother;
That can never trouble thee.
