I am tired of planning and toiling In the crowded hives of men;Heart-weary of building and spoiling, And spoiling and building again
To Winter

The Dance at McDougall's
© O'Hagan Thomas
In a little log house near the rim of the forest With its windows of sunlight, its threshold of stone,Lived Donald McDougall, the quaintest of Scotchmen, And Janet his wife, in their shanty, alone:By day the birds sang them a chorus of welcome, At night they saw Scotland again in their dreams;They toiled full of hope 'mid the sunshine of friendship, Their hearts leaping onward like troutlets in streams, In the little log home of McDougall's

The Empty Places

The Wanderer

The Sailing of the Long-ships
© Newbolt Henry John
They saw the cables loosened, they saw the gangways cleared,They heard the women weeping, they heard the men that cheered;Far off, far off, the tumult faded and died away,And all alone the sea-wind came singing up the Bay
The Doctor Readies The Breathing Tube
© Neilson Shane
Centimetred grace: coiled like a whip,entering a place where one can sing,or choke a note. Jiggly jangly, the tripdown the throat a long tunnel, no light
The Love Song of Otakar Svec

Three wise men of Gotham

Three wise men of Gotham,They went to sea in a bowl,And if the bowl had been stronger,My song had been longer.
This Pig Went to Market
© Mother Goose
This pig went to market,That pig staid at home;This pig had roast meat,That pig had none;This pig went to the barn-door,And cry'd week, week, for more.
There was an Old Woman

There was an old womanLiv'd under a hill,And if she isn't goneShe lives there still.
The Story of Sigurd the Volsung
© William Morris
But therewith the sun rose upward and lightened all the earth,And the light flashed up to the heavens from the rims of the glorious girth;But they twain arose together, and with both her palms outspread,And bathed in the light returning, she cried aloud and said:"All hail, O Day and thy Sons, and thy kin of the coloured things!Hail, following Night, and thy Daughter that leadeth thy wavering wings!Look down With unangry eyes on us today alive,And give us the hearts victorious, and the gain for which we strive!All hail, ye Lords of God-home, and ye Queens of the House of Gold!Hail, thou dear Earth that bearest, and thou Wealth of field and fold!Give us, your noble children, the glory of wisdom and speech,And the hearts and the hands of healing, and the mouths and hands that teach!"
Then they turned and were knit together; and oft and o'er againThey craved, and kissed rejoicing, and their hearts were full and fain
The Flag of Our Union
© Morris George Pope
"A song for our banner?" -- The watchword recall Which gave the Republic her station:"United we stand -- divided we fall!" -- It made and preserves us a nation!The union of lakes -- the union of lands -- The union of States none can sever --The union of hearts -- the union of hands -- And the Flag of the Union for ever And ever! The Flag of our Union for ever
What God in his mercy and wisdom designed, And armed with his weapons of thunder,Not all the earth's despots and factions combined Have the power to conquer or sunder!The union of lakes -- the union of lands -- The union of states none can sever --The union of hearts -- the union of hands -- And the Flag of the Union for ever And ever! The Flag of our Union for ever!
Oh, keep that flag flying! -- The pride of the van! To all other nations display it!The ladies for union are all to a -- man! But not to the man who'd betray it
