The Four Seasons : Winter

© James Thomson

See, Winter comes, to rule the varied year,
Sullen and sad, with all his rising train;
Vapours, and clouds, and storms. Be these my theme,
These! that exalt the soul to solemn thought,

I ask'd the Lord, that I might grow
In faith, and love, and ev'ry grace,
Might more of his salvation know,
And seek more earnestly his face.

The Spirit Of Discovery By Sea - Book The Fourth

© William Lisle Bowles

  O'er my poor ANNA'S lowly grave
  No dirge shall sound, no knell shall ring;
  But angels, as the high pines wave,
  Their half-heard "Miserere" sing.

To K.M.D.

© James Clerk Maxwell

In the buds, before they burst,
Leaves and flowers are moulded;
Closely pressed they lie at first,
Exquisitely folded.

The Men Who Live It Down

© Henry Lawson

I have sinned, but as a man might; like a man I’ll rise again
From long nights of mental torture, from long days of care and pain.
Pass me by with eyes averted, with a shrug or with a frown,
But their heads shall bow in ashes long ere my head shall go down!

An Essay On The Different Stiles Of Poetry

© Thomas Parnell


I hate the Vulgar with untuneful Mind,
Hearts uninspir'd, and Senses unrefin'd.
Hence ye Prophane, I raise the sounding String,
And Bolingbroke descends to hear me sing.

A German Student’s Funeral Hymn

© Dinah Maria Mulock Craik

WITH steady march across the daisy meadow,
And by the churchyard wall we go;
But leave behind, beneath the linden shadow,
One, who no more will rise and go:
Farewell, our brother, here sleeping in dust,
Till thou shalt wake again, wake with the just.

Naucratia; Or Naval Dominion. Part I

© Henry James Pye

  By love of opulence and science led,
  Now Commerce wide her peaceful empire spread, 
  And seas, obedient to the pilot's art,
  But join'd the regions which they seem'd to part;
  Free intercourse disarm'd the barbarous mind,
  Tam'd savage hate, and humaniz'd mankind.

Songs Set To Music: 8. Set By Mr. Smith

Still, Dorinda, I adore;
Think I mean not to deceive you,
For I loved you much before,
And, alas! now love you more
Though I force myself to leave you.

Army Of Northern Virginia

© Stephen Vincent Benet

He only said it once-the marble closed-
There was a man enclosed within that image.
There was a force that tried Proportion's rule
And died without a legend or a cue
To bring it back. The shadow-Lees still live.
But the first-person and the singular Lee?

[Begin, my tongue, some heav'nly theme,
And speak some boundless thing;
The mighty works, or mightier name,
Of our eternal King.

Don Juan: Canto The Third

© George Gordon Byron

The isles of Greece, the Isles of Greece!
Where burning Sappho loved and sung,
Where grew the arts of war and peace,
Where Delos rose, and Phoebus sprung!
Eternal summer gilds them yet,
But all, except their sun, is set.

Thou little village curate,
  Come quick, and do not wait;
We'll sit and talk together,
  So sweetly _tete-a-tete_.
