A Fireside Vision
© Bliss William Carman
ONCE I walked the world enchanted
Through the scented woods of spring,
Hand in hand with Love, in rapture
Just to hear a bluebird sing.
After a Tempest
© William Cullen Bryant
The day had been a day of wind and storm;--
The wind was laid, the storm was overpast,--
And stooping from the zenith, bright and warm
Shone the great sun on the wide earth at last.

When they wha wad hae starved thy life,
Thy senseless turf adorn?

Little-Girl-Two-Little-Girls
© James Whitcomb Riley
I'm twins, I guess, 'cause my Ma say
I'm two little girls. An' one o' me
Is _Good_ little girl; an' th'other 'n' she
Is _Bad little girl as she can be!_
An' Ma say so, 'most ever' day.

Pleasant under the cloudless skies,
Garden Street in the sunlight lies.

Whose footsteps spurn the conquered tomb?
Thou that through dreariest dark can see
A smiling immortality?
My Own Heart Let Me More Have Pity on
© Gerard Manley Hopkins
Soul, self; come, poor Jackself, I do advise
You, jaded, let be; call off thoughts awhile
Elsewhere; leave comfort root-room; let joy size
At God knows when to God knows what; whose smile
's not wrung, see you; unforeseen times rather - as skies
Betweenpie mountains - lights a lovely mile.

Twas the dear smile when nae body did mind us,
Twas the bewitching, sweet, stown glance o kindness:

To index out the Country Inn.

The rosy dawn, the springing grass,
With early gems adorning.

Where fairest shades did hide her;
The winds blew calm, the birds did sing,
The cool streams ran beside her.

For the sake o Somebody.
Christmas, 1918

They give their all, this Christmastide, that peace on earth shall reign;
Upon the snows of Flanders now, brave blood has left its stain;
With ribbons red we deck our gifts; theirs bear the red of pain.
