Song.—Oh, long enough my life has been

© Louisa Stuart Costello

Oh! long enough my life has been,
 Since I thy love have known;
I would not change the pleasing scene,
 And find its beauties flown.

Astrophel And Stella-Fifth Song

© Sir Philip Sidney

While favor fed my hope, delight with hope was brought,
Thought waited on delight, and speech did follow thought;
Then drew my tongue and pen records unto thy glory:
I thought all words were lost, that were not spent of thee;
I thought each place was dark but where thy lights would be,
And all ears worse than deaf, that heard not out thy story.

The Musical Chamber

 I TRUST that my friends will remember,
 Whilst I these my pleasures display,
 Resort to my musical chamber,
 The laurel crown'd desert in May.

The Lucayan's Song

© Amelia Opie

Hail, lonely shore! hail, desert cave!
To you, o'erjoyed, from men I fly,
And here I'll make my early grave….
For what can misery do but die?

The Siege Of Corinth

© George Gordon Byron

XXVII.
Still the old man stood erect,
And Alp's career a moment check'd.
"Yield thee, Minotti; quarter take,
For thine own, thy daughter's sake."

At Parting

© Madison Julius Cawein

What is there left for us to say,
  Now it has come to say good-by?
  And all our dreams of yesterday
  Have vanished in the sunset sky--
  What is there left for us to say,
  Now different ways before us lie?

Biography

© John Masefield

  Yet when I am dust my penman may not know
  Those water-trampling ships which made me glow,
  But think my wonder mad and fail to find,
  Their glory, even dimly, from my mind,
  And yet they made me:

The Angel In The House. Book I. Canto III.

© Coventry Kersey Dighton Patmore

IV The Attainment
  You love? That's high as you shall go;
  For 'tis as true as Gospel text,
  Not noble then is never so,
  Either in this world or the next.

Paddle Your Own Canoe

Voyager upon life's sea,
To yourself be true,
And whatever your lot may be,
Paddle your own canoe.

Non-Resistance

© Oliver Wendell Holmes

PERHAPS too far in these considerate days
Has patience carried her submissive ways;
Wisdom has taught us to be calm and meek,
To take one blow, and turn the other cheek;
It is not written what a man shall do,
If the rude caitiff smite the other too!

Why Should I Pine?

© Madison Julius Cawein

Why should I pine? when there in Spain
Are eyes to woo, and not in vain;
Dark eyes, and dreamily divine:
And lips, as red as sunlit wine;

And never did a worthier wight
The rank of knighthood claim.

The Temptress

© James Weldon Johnson

Old Devil, when you come with horns and tail,
With diabolic grin and crafty leer;
I say, such bogey-man devices wholly fail
To waken in my heart a single fear.
