Oh, days of dolor and nights of drouth,
While she watched for a sail in vain,
Or the tawny tinge of a river mouth,
Or the rush of the tropic rain.
Uncle Joe's Hail Columbia
© Henry Clay Work
Ring de Bells in eb'ry steeple!
Raise the Flag on high!
De Lord has come to Sabe the people -
Now let me die.
Una
© Ralph Waldo Emerson
Roving, roving, as it seems,
Una lights my clouded dreams;
Still for journeys she is dressed;
We wander far by east and west.

"Sir, I admit your general rule,
That every poet is a fool.
But you yourself may serve to show it,
Every fool is not a poet."
Up North
© David Campbell
Oh, Bill and Joe to the north have gone,
A green shirt on their back;
There are not many ewes and lambs
Along Kokoda track.
Uhland's White Stag
© Eugene Field
Frisked his heels at those huntsmen three,
Then leagues o'er hill and dale was he--
Hush, hush! Piff, bang! Tir-ril-la-loo!
Upon Eckington Bridge, River Avon

O pastoral heart of England! like a psalm
Of green days telling with a quiet beat-
Under The Roof Where The Laughter Rings
© Edgar Albert Guest
Under the roof where the laughter rings,
That's where I long to be;
There are all of the glorious things,
Meaning so much to me.
There is where striving and toiling ends;
There is where always the rainbow bends.
Upon the Fish in The Water

The water is the fish's element;
Take her from thence, none can her death prevent;
And some have said, who have transgressors been,
As good not be, as to be kept from sin.
Up And-Down
© George MacDonald
The sun is gone down
And the moon's in the sky
But the sun will come up
And the moon be laid by.
Uncalled
© Madison Julius Cawein
As one, who, journeying westward with the sun,
Beholds at length from the up-towering hills,
Unfading Beauty
© Thomas Carew
Hee, that loves a rosie cheeke,
Or a corall lip admires,
Or from star-like eyes doth seeke
Fuell to maintaine his fires,
Un Grand Sommeil Noir
© Paul Verlaine
Un grand sommeil noir
Tombe sur ma vie:
Dormez, tout espoir,
Dormez, toute envie!
Unrest
© George MacDonald
Comes there, O Earth, no breathing time for thee,
No pause upon thy many-chequered lands?
Under The Wattle
© Douglas Brooke Wheelton Sladen
"Why should not wattle do
For mistletoe?"
Asked one - they were but two -
Where wattles grow.
Ultima Thule: Maiden And The Weathercock
© Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
MAIDEN.
O weathercock on the village spire,
With your golden feathers all on fire,
Tell me, what can you see from your perch
Above there over the tower of the church?
