  Row till the land dip 'neath

Riders Of The Stars

© Henry Herbert Knibbs

Twenty abreast down the golden street, ten thousand riders marched;
Bow-legged boys in their swinging chaps, all clumsily keeping time;
And the Angel Host to the lone, last ghost their delicate eyebrows arched
As the swaggering sons of the open range drew up to the Throne Sublime.

Return

© Kostas Karyotakis

In your current is the laughter of the gods,
Saronica immortal, the blessing of our ship,
like your deep calm, and just as deep the tempest
we'd have heard here.

Remembered Music

© James Russell Lowell

Thick-rushing, like an ocean vast
  Of bisons the far prairie shaking,
The notes crowd heavily and fast
As surfs, one plunging while the last
  Draws seaward from its foamy breaking.

 And Greta woods are green;

 Than reign our English queen."

Revisited

© John Greenleaf Whittier

The roll of drums and the bugle's wailing
Vex the air of our vales-no more;
The spear is beaten to hooks of pruning,
The share is the sword the soldier wore!

Rubaiyat 26

© Shams al-Din Hafiz

One with such beauty none will make.
When her garments off we take
You can see her heart in her fragile breast,
Like a hard rock in a clear lake.

Columns thrown down, a high and lonely tower;

Revisited

© Madison Julius Cawein

It was beneath a waning moon when all the woods were sear,
  And winds made eddies of the leaves that whispered far and near,
  I met her on the old mill-bridge we parted at last year.

Reason

© Samuel Taylor Coleridge

  Whene'er the mist, that stands 'twixt God and thee,
  [Sublimates] to a pure transparency,
  That intercepts no light and adds no stain--
  There Reason is, and then begins her reign!

Rosy, My Dear

"Rosy, my dear,
  Don't cry,--I'm here
  To help you all I can.
  I'm only a fly,
  But you'll see that I
  Will keep my word like a man."
