Ode To The Moon

I
Mother of light! how fairly dost thou go
Over those hoary crests, divinely led!
Art thou that huntress of the silver bow,
On A Spaniel, Called Beau, Killing A Young Bird
© William Cowper
A spaniel, Beau, that fares like you,
Well fed, and at his ease,
Should wiser be than to pursue
Each trifle that he sees.

Of bodily stem and branches and leaves green,
O'Hara, J.P.

James Patrick O'Hara the Justice of Peace,
He bossed the P.M. and he bossed the police;
A parent, a deacon, a landlord was he
A townsman of weight was OHara, J.P.
On The Death Of Smet-Smet, The Hippopotamus- Goddess

(The Priests within the Temple)
She was wrinkled and huge and hideous? She was our Mother.
She was lustful and lewd? - but a God; we had none other.
In the day She was hidden and dumb, but at nightfall moaned in the shade;
We shuddered and gave Her Her will in the darkness; we were afraid.

And sorrow comes as on that August day,
With our ship cleaving through the seas for home,
And that news coming sparkling through the air,
That you were dead, and that we'd never see you
Looking upon the state that you had builded.

To man alone I owe my birth,
And yet the cow, the sheep, the bee,
Are all my parents more than he:

Aurora with the blushes of the morn:
On The Death of Leopold: King of The Belgians

A King is dead! Another master mind
Is summoned from the world-wide council hall.
Ah, for some seer, to say what links behind-
To read the mystic writing on the wall!
Olney Hymn 42: Self-Acquaintance
© William Cowper
Dear Lord! accept a sinful heart,
Which of itself complains,
And mourns, with much and frequent smart,
The evil it contains.
On His Grotto at Twickenham
© Alexander Pope
Thou who shalt stop, where Thames' translucent wave
Shines a broad Mirror thro' the shadowy Cave;
On Gay Wallpaper
© William Carlos Williams
The green-blue ground
is ruled with silver lines
to say the sun is shining
Ode To The Setting Sun
© Francis Thompson
Alpha and Omega, sadness and mirth,
The springing music, and its wasting breath--
One By One
© Wilcox Ella Wheeler
Little by little and one by one,
Out of the ether, were worlds created;
Star and planet and sea and sun,
All in the nebulous Nothing waited
Till the Nameless One Who has many a name
Called them to being and forth they came.

I mind they told me on a noisy hill
I sat and disbelieved, and shook my head:
On The Other Side
© Dora Sigerson Shorter
You were shy of strangersand who will come
As you stand there lone and new,
Through the long years when my lips are dumb
What will my darling do?

A hilltop sought by every soothing breeze
That loves the melody of murmuring boughs,
