Bold Jack Donohue (3)
© Anonymous

Expect the legions of the night
Reynard The Fox - Part 2
© John Masefield
Down in the village men awoke,
The chimneys breathed with a faint blue smoke;
The fox slept on, though tweaks and twitches,
Due to his dreams, ran down his flitches.

A BALLAD OF THE OLDEN TIME.

And within the old lords daughter seemed dying, dying fast;
While oer her couch in frenzied grief the stricken father bent,
And in deep sobs and stifled moans his anguish wild found vent.
A Friends Greeting

I'd like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me;

While her great works about her burned
Sate France enthronèd and incoronate!

© John Greenleaf Whittier

I feel the deffall in the air;
The muezzin of the darkening thicket,
I hear the night-thrush call to prayer.
