Mine Own John Poynz

© Sir Thomas Wyatt

Mine own John Poynz, since ye delight to know
The cause why that homeward I me draw,
And flee the press of courts, whereso they go,
Rather than to live thrall under the awe

And if ye will, then leave your bourds
And use your wit and show it so,

How well pleasant it were your liberty.

But they that sometime liked my company,

Tagus, farewell! that westward with thy streams
Turns up the grains of gold already tried
With spur and sail, for I go to seek the Thames
Gainward the sun that shewth her wealthy pride,

I Find No Peace

© Sir Thomas Wyatt

I find no peace, and all my war is done.
I fear and hope. I burn and freeze like ice.
I fly above the wind, yet can I not arise;
And nought I have, and all the world I season.

And after the old proverb, the happy day;
And ever my lady to me doth say,
'Let me alone and I will provide.'

‘Perhaps not to be is to be without your being.’

Perhaps not to be is to be without your being,
without your going, that cuts noon light
like a blue flower, without your passing
later through fog and stones,

Forget Not Yet

Forget not yet the tried intent
Of such a truth as I have meant
My great travail so gladly spent
Forget not yet.

Twenty-Third Sunday After Trinity

© John Keble

Red o'er the forest peers the setting sun,
  The line of yellow light dies fast away
That crowned the eastern copse:  and chill and dun
  Falls on the moor the brief November day.

Or of something seen that he liked.

Avising The Bright Beams

Avising the bright beams of these fair eyes
Where he is that mine oft moisteth and washeth,
The wearied mind straight from the heart departeth
For to rest in his worldly paradise

LXXXIV From: ‘Cien sonetos de amor’

© Pablo Neruda

One time more, my love, the net of light extinguishes
work, wheels, flames, boredoms and farewells,
and we surrender the swaying wheat to night,
the wheat that noon stole from earth and light.

And Wilt Thou Leave me Thus?

© Sir Thomas Wyatt

And wilt thou leave me thus?
Say nay, say nay, for shame,
To save thee from the blame
Of all my grief and grame;
And wilt thou leave me thus?
Say nay, say nay!

The Sisters

© Judith Wright

In the vine-shadows on the veranda;
under the yellow leaves, in the cooling sun,
sit two sisters. Their slow voices run
like little winter creeks, dwindled by frost and wind,
and the square of sunlight moves on the veranda.
