Rejoice evermore With angels above,
In Jesus's power, In Jesus's love:
With glad exultation Your triumph proclaim,
Ascribing salvation To God and the Lamb.
The Last Laugh
© Franklin Pierce Adams
How sweet the moonlight sleeps," I quoted,
"Upon this bank!" that starry night-
The night you vowed you'd be devoted-
I'll tell the world you held me tight.
Making The House A Home

Here's our story, page by page,
Happy youth and middle-age,
The Dead Bride
© Isabel Ecclestone Mackay
WITHIN my circled arm she lay and faintly smiled the long night through,
And oh, but she was fair to view, fair to view!
Absence And Love
© Paul Hamilton Hayne
WE need the clasp of hand in hand,
The light flashed warm from neighboring eyes:
Or else as weary seasons pass--
Alas! alas!
Our tenderest love grows wan and dies.
Billy And His Drum
© James Whitcomb Riley
Ho! it's come, kids, come!
"With a bim! bam! bum!
Here's little Billy bangin' on his big bass drum!
He's a-marchin' round the room,
With his feather-duster plume
A-noddin' an' a-bobbin' with his bim! bom! boom!
Autumn Sonnet

Your eyes, clear as crystal, ask me: Strange lover,
what do I mean to you?- Hush, and be charming!
My heart, irritated by all but the one thing,
the primitive creatures absolute candour,
What's The Pope Do?
© Giuseppe Gioacchino Belli
What's the pope do? Drinks, and takes a nap;

The Frog
© James Whitcomb Riley
Who am I but the Frog--the Frog!
My realm is the dark bayou,
And my throne is the muddy and moss-grown log
That the poison-vine clings to--
And the blacksnakes slide in the slimy tide
Where the ghost of the moon looks blue.

The Return Of The Goddess
© James Bayard Taylor
Not as in youth, with steps outspeeding morn,
And cheeks all bright from rapture of the way,
But in strange mood, half cheerful, half forlorn,
She comes to me to-day.
Holy Sonnet XVI: Father
© John Donne
Father, part of his double interest
Unto thy kingdom, thy Son gives to me,
Across The fields
© Hermann Hesse
Across the sky, the clouds move,
Across the fields, the wind,
Across the fields the lost child
Of my mother wanders.
