Night, dim night, and it rains, my love, it rains,
(Art thou dreaming of me, I wonder)
The trees are sad, and the wind complains,
Outside the rolling of the thunder,
And the beat against the panes.
Nature in Perfection
© Richard Savage
No Glympse of Joy your Pleasures then convey'd,
Nor Midnight Ball, nor Morning Masquerade.

The Court a Desart seems without your Son.
Night

"No, not the moon..."

At the bottom of your thoughts, this is the night you've chosen,

into the mountain!
Perhaps there's a place
where bad news can never reach me!
Nonsuited.

The letter of a married female friend:
New-Year's Eve

But the spectre stood in that yonder gloom,
And these were the words it spake,
"Tick-tock, tick-tock"--and they seemed to mock
A heart about to break.
New Heaven, New War
© Robert Southwell
Come to your heaven, you heavenly choirs,

Sith men their homage do deny,
Come, Angels, all their fault supply.

In the middle of the viburnums
the twilight butterflies have appeared.

Thy fields, thy mountains hoar,
Thy wind that bloweth where it lists-
Thy will, I love it more.
