The House Of Dust: Part 02: 05:
© Conrad Aiken
Round white clouds roll slowly above the housetops,
Over the clear red roofs they flow and pass.
A flock of pigeons rises with blue wings flashing,
Rises with whistle of wings, hovers an instant,
And settles slowly again on the tarnished grass.
To My Country
© Mikhail Lermontov
With love of my own race I cling unto my country,
Whatever dubious reason may protesting cry;
The shame alone of all her blood bought glory,
Her haughty self-assurance, conscious pride,
And the ancestral faith's traditions dark,
With woe have penetrated all my heart.
The Temperaments
© Ezra Pound
Nine adulteries, 12 liaisons, 64 fornications and
something approaching a rape
The Mares Of The Camargue
© George Meredith
[From the Mireio of Mistral]
A hundred mares, all white! their manes
Thought Of A Briton On The Subjugation Of Switzerland
© William Wordsworth
TWO Voices are there; one is of the sea,
One of the mountains; each a mighty Voice:
The Impecunious Cricket And The Frugal Ant
© Guy Wetmore Carryl
THE MORAL is: Albeit lots
Of people follow Dr. Watts,
The sluggard, when his means are scant,
Should seek an uncle, not an ant!
The House By The Side Of The Road
© Sam Walter Foss
There are hermit souls that live withdrawn
In the place of their self-content;
The Locomotive
© Julian Tuwim
A big locomotive has pulled into town,
Heavy, humungus, with sweat rolling down,
A plump jumbo olive.
Huffing and puffing and panting and smelly,
Fire belches forth from her fat cast iron belly.
The Eagle
© Allen Tate
Say never the strong heart
In the consuming breath
Cries out unto the dark
The skinny death.
To-morrow
© Percy Bysshe Shelley
Where art thou, beloved To-morrow?
When young and old, and strong and weak,
Rich and poor, through joy and sorrow,
Thy sweet smiles we ever seek,--
In thy place--ah! well-a-day!
We find the thing we fled--To-day.
The Armada
© Thomas Babbington Macaulay
Attend, all ye who list to hear our noble England's praise;
I tell of the thrice famous deeds she wrought in ancient days,
The Tweed Visited
© William Lisle Bowles
O Tweed! a stranger, that with wandering feet
O'er hill and dale has journeyed many a mile,
Testament
© Sara Teasdale
I said, "I will take my life
And throw it away;
I who was fire and song
Will turn to clay."
Two Graves
© Paul Hamilton Hayne
IT glooms forlornly 'mid wan ocean dunes,
A desolate grave-mound on a dreary lea,
Touched by sad splendors of gray-misted moons,
Or veiled by shivering spray-drifts from the sea.
The Gypsy Girl
© Ralph Hodgson
"Come, try your skill, kind gentlemen,
A penny for three tries!"
Some threw and lost, some threw and won
A ten-a-penny prize.
The Rose
© James Whitcomb Riley
It tossed its head at the wooing breeze;
And the sun, like a bashful swain,
Beamed on it through the waving trees
With a passion all in vain,--
For my rose laughed in a crimson glee,
And hid in the leaves in wait for me.
The Clay
© Jones Very
Thou shalt do what Thou wilt with thine own hand,
Thou form'st the spirit like the moulded clay;
The Women Who Ministered Unto Him
© George MacDonald
Enough he labours for his hire;
Yea, nought can pay his pain;
But powers that wear and waste and tire,
Need help to toil again.
The Angel In The House. Book I. Canto VII.
