Ode Written On The First Of December

© Robert Southey

Tho' now no more the musing ear
Delights to listen to the breeze
That lingers o'er the green wood shade,
I love thee Winter! well.

Cassandra

© Robinson Jeffers

The mad girl with the staring eyes and long white fingers
Hooked in the stones of the wall,
The storm-wrack hair and screeching mouth: does it matter, Cassandra,
Whether the people believe

Psalm LXXIII: Now I'm Convinced the Lord Is Kind

© Isaac Watts

Now I 'm convinced the Lord is kind
To men of heart sincere;
Yet once my foolish thoughts repined,
And bordered on despair.

Psalm 85 part 2

© Isaac Watts

v.9ff
L. M.
Salvation by Christ.

Psalm 14 part 1

© Isaac Watts

Fools in their heart believe and say
"That all religion's vain;
There is no God that reigns on high,
Or minds th' affairs of men."

Hymn 134

© Isaac Watts

Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews,
And nobler speech, that angels use,
If love be absent, I am found,
Like tinkling brass, an empty sound.

Hymn 133

© Isaac Watts

Let Pharisees of high esteem
Their faith and zeal declare,
All their religion is a dream,
If love be wanting there.

Hymn 132

© Isaac Watts

O let our lips and lives express
The holy gospel we profess;
So let our works and virtues shine,
To prove the doctrine all divine.

Examples of Early Piety

© Isaac Watts

What blest examples do I find
Writ in the Word of Truth
Of children that began to mind
Religion in their youth!

Melancholia

the history of melancholia
includes all of us.
me, I writhe in dirty sheets
while staring at blue walls

Nuremberg

In the valley of the Pegnitz, where across broad meadow-lands
Rise the blue Franconian mountains, Nuremberg, the ancient,
stands.

Ourselves we do inter with sweet derision.

Ourselves we do inter with sweet derision.
The channel of the dust who once achieves
Invalidates the balm of that religion
That doubts as fervently as it believes.
