The Rain And The Wind

The rain and the wind, the wind and the rain -
They are with us like a disease:

Nine passed him by with a hasty look,
Each bent on his eager way;

FROM Bolton's old monastic tower
The bells ring loud with gladsome power;
The sun shines bright; the fields are gay
With people in their best array
I Step Across The Mystic Border-Land

I step across the mystic border-land,
And look upon the wonder-world of Art.
How beautiful, how beautiful its hills!
And all its valleys, how surpassing fair!
The Reason Why
© Paul Hamilton Hayne
I'D like, indeed I'd like to know
Why sister Bell, who loved me so,
And used to pet me day and night,
And could not bear me out of sight,
Poem 2
© Kabir
WHEN He Himself reveals Himself, Brahma brings into manifestation That which can never be seen.
As the seed is in the plant, as the shade is in the tree, as the void is in the sky, as infinite forms are in the void-
So from beyond the Infinite, the Infinite comes; and from the Infinite the finite extends.
Untitled, Unfinished Poem
© Thomas Parnell
The first who lovd me turnd wth tender eyes
Since ye rogue will why lett us sail she cryes
Her kind consent was sure for Love is kind
& Woman's Love when Love has won her mind
The second stopd then with a careless moan
Tis welltis dang'rous to be left alone
Meeting -- English Translation
© Rabindranath Tagore
To say, Here you are,
I looked in so many places, so many ways I walked
But you are there everywhere in this world
Which we flood with tears
Crying, Where are you, O where!

Gravely in warm plaster turning; the hedges are dark.

A sultry eve pursu'd a sultry day;
Dark streaks of purple in the sky were seen,
And shadows half conceal'd the lonely way;
The Watchers
© Katharine Tynan
THE cottages all lie asleep;
The sheep and lambs are folded in
Winged sentinels the vale will keep
Until the hours of life begin.

It is my vision in the night,
My dreaming in the day;
Futile Petition

Princess! to envy the fate of a Hebe
Who appears on this porcelain cup at a kiss
How Jack Made The Giants Uncommonly Sore

And this is The Moral that lies in the verse:
If you have a go farther, you're apt to fare
Worse.
(When you turn it around it is different rather: -
You're not apt to go worse if you have a fair
father!)
The Woods
© Frances Anne Kemble
The air is full of countless voices, joined
In one eternal hymn; the whispering wind,
The shuddering leaves, the hidden water springs,
The work-song of the bees, whose honeyed wings
Hang in the golden tresses of the lime,
Or buried lie in purple beds of thyme.
Song Of The Aviator
© Wilcox Ella Wheeler
You may thrill with the speed of your thoroughbred steed,
You may laugh with delight as you ride the ocean,
The Earth With Thunder Torn
© Fulke Greville
THE earth with thunder torn, with fire blasted,
With waters dron'd, with windy palsy shaken,
Cannot for this with heaven be distast'd,
Since thunder, rain, and winds from earth are taken;
