O Turn Once More
© Duncan Campbell Scott
O turn once more!
The meadows where we mused and strayed together
On Hearing A Yellow Hammer Sing Near Dunedin
© Alexander Bathgate
List! to that pretty little bird,
Singing on yonder bush of thorn;
Its plaintive notes I have not heard,
Save in the land where I was born.
Of One Who Died In Spring
© George MacDonald
Loosener of springs, he died by thee!
Softness, not hardness, sent him home;
He loved thee-and thou mad'st him free
Of all the place thou comest from!
On A Goldfinch, Starved To Death In His Cage
© William Cowper
Time was when I was free as air,
The thistle's downy seed my fare,
Olney Hymn 50: The Christian
© William Cowper
Honor and happiness unite
To make the Christian's name a praise;
How fair the scene, how clear the light,
That fills the remnant of His days!
On The Castle Of Chillon
© George Gordon Byron
Eternal Spirit of the chainless Mind!
Brightest in dungeons, Liberty, thou art;
Out Of The Fulness Of The Heart The Mouth Speaketh
© Edith Nesbit
In answer to those who have said that English Poets
give no personal love to their country.
Obscur Et Fronce
© Arthur Rimbaud
Dark, wrinkled as a purple pink,
It breathes, it nestles in that bed of moss,
Our Saviours Boyhood
© Rosanna Eleanor Leprohon
With what a flood of wondrous thoughts
Each Christian breast must swell
When, wandering back through ages past,
With simple faith they dwell
On quiet Nazareths sacred sod,
Where the Child Saviours footsteps trod.
Ode to a Lady on the Spring
© Joseph Warton
Lo! Spring, array'd in primrose-colour'd robe,
Fresh beauties sheds on each enliven'd scene,
With show'rs and sunshine cheers the smiling globe,
And mantles hill and vale in glowing green.
Our Little Girl
© James Whitcomb Riley
Her heart knew naught of sorrow,
Nor the vaguest taint of sin--
Oh mountains of Albania (excerpt from Bucolics and Georgics)
© Naim Frashëri
Oh mountains of Albania and you, oh mighty oaks,
Broad plains with all your flowers, day and night I contemplate you,
One prayer I have -- all prayers in one, --
© James Montgomery
One prayer I have - all prayers in one, -
When I am wholly thine;
Thy will, my God, thy will be done,
And let that will be mine.
Old Man
© Alexander Pushkin
Im not that lover, filled with passion, -
That youth, who left the world amazed:
One Friend
© Paramahansa Yogananda
Many clouds do race to hide Thee
Of friends and wealth and fame
Our HomeOur Country
© Oliver Wendell Holmes
YOUR home was mine,--kind Nature's gift;
My love no years can chill;
In vain their flakes the storm-winds sift,
The snow-drop hides beneath the drift,
A living blossom still.
On First Entering Westminster Abbey
© Louise Imogen Guiney
Not now for secular love's unquiet lease
Receive my soul, who rapt in thee erewhile
Hath broken tryst with transitory things;
But seal with her a marriage and a peace
Eternal, on thine Edward's holy isle,
Above the stormy sea of ending kings.
