The Shepherd Lady
© Jean Ingelow
Who pipes upon the long green hill,
Where meadow grass is deep?
The white lamb bleats but followeth on-
Follow the clean white sheep.
The dear white lady in yon high tower,
She hearkeneth in her sleep.
The Coo Of The Cushat
© Ada Cambridge
Over the smooth lawns, broider'd with violets,
Over the hedges of snow-white thorn,
Over the billowy, pink apple-blossoms,
The musical coo of the cushat is borne.
To Santa Claus

Take us as children to thy heart again.

Mingles, reluctant, with my large content,
I cannot censure what was nobly meant.
But, while constrained to hold even Union less
Trinitie Sunday

Lord, who hast formed me out of mud,
And hast redeemed me through thy bloud,
And sanctified me to do good;
The Sleepless Jesus

'Tis time to sleep, my little boy:
Why gaze thy bright eyes so?
The Hoosier

We lads that live up in the nobs,
Tho' our manners might yet bear a rubbing,
The Papal Benediction, From St. Peters

Higher than ever lifted into space,
Rises the sove'ran dome,--
Into the Colonnade's immense embrace
Flows all the life of Rome;
To Sergei Esenin
© Vladimir Mayakovsky

Suddenly the window will open
and Mother will call

I came to the churchyard where pretty Joy lies
On a morning in April, a rare sunny day;
Such bloom rose around, and so many birds' cries
That I sang for delight as I followed the way.
