Stranger! if from the crowded walks of life
Thou lovest to stray, and woo fair Solitude
The Last Room
© Bliss William Carman
THERE, close the door!
I shall not need these lodgings any more.
Now that I go, dismantled wall and floor
Reproach me and deplore.
Anti-heroine

I'd planned to be Heathcliff's Cathy,
Lady Brett, Nicole or Dominique or Scarlett O'Hara.
The Company Of Lovers
© Judith Wright
We meet and part now over all the world;
we, the lost company,
take hands together in the night, forget
the night in our brief happiness, silently.
The Proud Poet
© Adelaide Crapsey
Great Kings were dust and all their deeds forgot
Did my harp's taut and burnished strings stand mute;
From: A Few Figs From Thistles

Oh, think not I am faithful to a vow!
Faithless am I am save to love's self alone.

WE climb the hill; the mist conceals
That valley where we could not stay;

My dad gave me one dollar bill
'Cause I'm his smartest son,
And I swapped it for two shiny quarters
'Cause two is more then one!

I saw Time in his workshop carving faces;
Scattered around his tools lay, blunting griefs,
To Be Alone
© George Herbert
By all means use sometimes to be alone,
Salute thyself; see what the soul doth wear.
Dare to look in thy chest, for tis thine own,
And tumble up and down what thou findst there,
Who cannot rest till he good fellows find,
He breaks up house, turns out of doors his mind.
The Realm Of Rest
© Paul Hamilton Hayne
In the realm that Nature boundeth
Are there balmy shores of peace,
Where no passion-torrent soundeth,
And no storm-wind seeks release?
Maiden's Heart.
© Robert Crawford
The sweet, fresh, red rose
of a maiden's heart
That opes in the dewy
ecstasy of love.
"Them Old Cherry Words"
© James Whitcomb Riley
Pap he allus ust to say,
"Chris'mus comes but onc't a year!"
To The Superior Animal
© Anna Laetitia Waring
To sum up all, I'm old - and that's
A fact the years decide;
It is a common thing with cats
And not a thing to hide.
Canto de Esperanza (With English Translation)
© Rubén Dario
Un gran vuelo de cuervos mancha el azul celeste.
Un soplo milenario trae amagos de peste.
Se asesinan los hombres en el extremo Este.
In France I Saw A Hill
© Wilcox Ella Wheeler
In France I saw a hill-a gentle slope
Rising above old tombs to greet the gleam
From soft spring skies. Beyond these skies dwells hope,
But those green graves bespeak a broken dream.
Love Song
© Dorothy Parker
My own dear love, he is strong and bold
And he cares not what comes after.
