Virgils Gnat

© Edmund Spenser

And whatsoeuer other flowre of worth,
And whatso other hearb of louely hew
The iouyous Spring out of the ground brings forth,
To cloath her selfe in colours fresh and new;
He planted there, and reard a mount of earth,
In whose high front was writ as doth ensue.

The Coming Of Te Rauparaha.

© Arthur Henry Adams

BLUE, the wreaths of smoke, like drooping banners
From the flaming battlements of sunset
Hung suspended; and within his whare
Hipe, last of Ngatiraukawa's chieftains,

Psalm Of The West

© Sidney Lanier

  Master, Master, break this ban:
  The wave lacks Thee.
  Oh, is it not to widen man
  Stretches the sea?
  Oh, must the sea-bird's idle van
  Alone be free?

With Crispin as the tiptoe cozener?

Westward

© Robert Laurence Binyon

I found my Love among the fern. She slept.
My shadow stole across her, as I stept
More lightly and slowly, seeing her pillowed so
In the short--turfed and shelving green hollow

With lunch-bag, books and slate;

The Chief

His brow spreads large and placid, and his eye

Is deep and bright, with steady looks that still.

At Vespers

High up in the organ-story
  A girl stands slim and fair;
  And touched with the casement's glory
  Gleams out her radiant hair.

In Memoriam

© Ralph Waldo Emerson

Yet not of these I muse
In this ancestral place,
But of a kindred face
That never joy or hope shall here diffuse.

Take the cloak from his face, and at first

 Let the corpse do its worst!

Guns Of Peace

© Dinah Maria Mulock Craik

GHOSTS of dead soldiers in the battle slain,
Ghosts of dead heroes dying nobler far,
In the long patience of inglorious war,
Of famine, cold, heat, pestilence, and pain,--

The Lost Galleon

© Francis Bret Harte

In sixteen hundred and forty-one,
The regular yearly galleon,
Laden with odorous gums and spice,
India cottons and India rice,
And the richest silks of far Cathay,
Was due at Acapulco Bay.

A MONTH, sweet Little-ones, is past
Since your dear Mother went away,--
And she tomorrow will return;
Tomorrow is the happy day.

Orpheus

© Emma Lazarus

ORPHEUS.
LAUGHTER and dance, and sounds of harp and lyre,
Piping of flutes, singing of festal songs,
Ribbons of flame from flaunting torches, dulled

Growth of Man—like Growth of Nature

Growth of Man—like Growth of Nature—
Gravitates within—
Atmosphere, and Sun endorse it—
Bit it stir—alone—

What Largest Lover—hath

ARISE, ye sons of worth, arise,
And waken every note of woe;
When truth and virtue reach the skies,
'Tis ours to weep the want below!
