When the Star Goes Forth in Heaven

© James Joyce

When the shy star goes forth in heaven
All maidenly, disconsolate,
Hear you amid the drowsy even
One who is singing by your gate.
His song is softer than the dew
And he is come to visit you.

Written Out [1]

© Henry Lawson

Sing the song of the reckless, who care not what they do;
Sing the song of a sinner and the song of a writer, too—
Down in a pub in the alleys, in a dark and dirty hole,
With every soul a drunkard and the boss with never a soul.

Lampwick turned up, the room glows white.

The looms moves easily all night long

When The Poet Came

© Eugene Field

The ferny places gleam at morn,
  The dew drips off the leaves of corn;
  Along the brook a mist of white
  Fades as a kiss on lips of light;
  For, lo! the poet with his pipe
  Finds all these melodies are ripe!

Won't you come and see

© Matsuo Basho

Won't you come and see
loneliness? Just one leaf
from the kiri tree.

We'll Go Down Ourselves

© Henry Clay Work

"What shall we do? What shall we do?
Why, lay them on the shelves,
And we'll go down ourselves,
And teach the rebels something new,
And teach the rebels something new."

Walking West

© William Stafford

Anyone with quiet pace who
walks a gray road in the West
may hear a badger underground where
in deep flint another time is

Woman's Love

© Alaric Alexander Watts

'Tis morn: o'er Kyburg's castled crag day's first faint streak appears,

Like the ray of Truth through Error's mists, or the smile through Woman's tears;

Wise

© Lizette Woodworth Reese

An apple orchard smells like wine;
A succory flower is blue;
Until Grief touched these eyes of mine,
Such things I never knew.

This is the World's whole refrain,

I said, as I looked in the glass,

Wings

Pearl-gray is the sky,
And high within it, sailing by,
Three sea-gulls fly.

When I Was an Editor

© Stephan Stephansson

So maudlin, with pity and pathos I stood
If someone who erred got the lashes;
If hanged, I'd weep over the ashes.
With vocal dispraise such injustice I viewed

Aye, vull my heart's blood now do roll,

  An' gaÿ do rise my happy soul,

Washing the Dishes

© Christopher Morley

WHEN we on simple rations sup
How easy is the washing up!
But heavy feeding complicates
The task by soiling many plates.
