Song, by Aphra Behn
LOVE in fantastic triumph sate
Whilst bleeding hearts around him flow'd,
For whom fresh pains he did create
And strange tyrannic power he show'd:
From thy bright eyes he took his fires,
Snail's Trails, by William Brendan McPhillips
In the used to be mornings
I'd be the one leap
First out of bed
And then out of sleep;
And I'd always tip toe
The Day before April, by Mary Carolyn Davies
The day before April
Alone, alone,
I walked in the woods
And I sat on a stone.
I sat on a broad stone
The Falconer of God, by William Rose Benet
I flung my soul to the air like a falcon flying.
I said, "Wait on, wait on, while I ride below!
I shall start a heron soon
In the marsh beneath the moon --
A strange white heron rising with silver on its wings,
A Quiet Soul, by John Oldham
THY soul within such silent pomp did keep,
As if humanity were lull'd asleep;
So gentle was thy pilgrimage beneath,
Time's unheard feet scarce make less noise,
Or the soft journey which a planet goes:
A Devout Lover, by Thomas Randolph
I HAVE a mistress, for perfections rare
In every eye, but in my thoughts most fair.
Like tapers on the altar shine her eyes;
Her breath is the perfume of sacrifice;
And wheresoe'er my fancy would begin,
Golden Pulse, by John Myers O'Hara
Golden pulse grew on the shore,
Ferns along the hill,
And the red cliff roses bore
Bees to drink their fill;
Bees that from the meadows bring
To His Coy Mistress, by Andrew Marvell
HAD we but world enough, and time,
This coyness, Lady, were no crime
We would sit down and think which way
To walk and pass our long love's day.
Thou by the Indian Ganges' side
On a Subway Express, by Chester Firkins
I, who have lost the stars, the sod,
For chilling pave and cheerless light,
Have made my meeting-place with God
A new and nether Night --
Have found a fane where thunder fills
Shadows, by Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton
THEY seem'd, to those who saw them meet,
The casual friends of every day;
Her smile was undisturb'd and sweet,
His courtesy was free and gay.
But yet if one the other's name
Little Gray Songs from St. Joseph's, by Grace Fallow Norton
I
With cassock black, baret and book,
Father Saran goes by;
I think he goes to say a prayer
For one who has to die.
...brogues...and definitely not a trumpet..., by Richard Zola
the heron in the stream
when would it have flown
if not for that sound
of a shoe breaking a stick
who's shoe
