Embrace,

In my view,
Where a Roman Villa Stood, Above Freiburg
© Mary Elizabeth Coleridge
On alien ground, breathing an alien air,
A Roman stood, far from his ancient home,
And gazing, murmured,
"Ah, the hills are fair,

HOW blest is he that can but love and do
And has no skill of speech nor trick of art

Explore the dimness of a fairy bower
Remords Posthume (Posthumous Remorse)

Au fond d'un monument construit en marbre noir,
Et lorsque tu n'auras pour alcôve et manoir

The threads
Will abash him.
How Rudeness And Kindness Were Justly Rewarded
© Guy Wetmore Carryl
The Moral of the tale is: Bah!
Nous avons change tout cela.

Daphnis.
O Love! for Sylvia let me gain the prize,
And make my tongue victorious as her eyes;
No lambs or sheep for victims I'll impart,
