The Sense Of Beauty
© Caroline Norton
Lo! at his pencil's touch steals faintly forth
(Like an uprising star in the cold north)
Some face which soon shall glow with beauty's fire:
Dim seems the sketch to those who stand around,
Dim and uncertain as an echoed sound,
But oh! how bright to him, whose hand thou dost inspire!
A Ballad of the Wise Men
© Margaret Widdemer
The Christ-Child lay in Bethlehem
And the Wise Men gave Him gold,
Woe Is Me
© Sydney Thompson Dobell
Far in the cradling sky,
Dawn opes his baby eye,
Then I awake and cry,
Woe is me!
Sunlight On The Sea

Sunlight On The Sea
[The Philosophy of a Feast]
Make merry, comrades, eat and drink
An Extempore
© John Keats
When they were come into Faery's Court
They rang -- no one at home -- all gone to sport
And dance and kiss and love as faerys do
For Faries be as human lovers true --
August 1914
© Isaac Rosenberg
What in our lives is burnt
In the fire of this?
The hearts dear granary?
The much we shall miss?
The Love Sonnets Of Proteus. Part III: Gods And False Gods: LVI
© Wilfrid Scawen Blunt
TO ONE WHOM HE DARED NOT LOVE
As one who, in a desert wandering
Alone and faint beneath a pitiless sky,
And doubting in his heart if he shall bring
Who never lost,
© Emily Dickinson
Who never lost, are unprepared
A Coronet to find!
Who never thirsted
Flagons, and Cooling Tamarind!
As Like The Woman As You Can
© William Ernest Henley
'As like the Woman as you can' -
(Thus the New Adam was beguiled) -
Invitation
© Friedrich Rückert
Thou, thou art rest
And peace of soul--
Thou woundst the breast
And makst it whole.
Dialogue Between Ghost And Priest
© Sylvia Plath
In the rectory garden on his evening walk
Paced brisk Father Shawn. A cold day, a sodden one it was
In black November. After a sliding rain
Dew stood in chill sweat on each stalk,
Each thorn; spiring from wet earth, a blue haze
Hung caught in dark-webbed branches like a fabulous heron.
Elogio A Fuensanta
© Ramon Lopez Velarde
Tú no eres en mi huerto la pagana
Rosa de los ardores juveniles;
Te quise como a una dulce hermana
A Magic Moment I Remember
© Alexander Pushkin
A magic moment I remember:
I raised my eyes and you were there,
What Of The Night?
© Ada Cambridge
To you, who look below,
Where little candles glow -
Who listen in a narrow street,
Confused with noise of passing feet -
The Speeding Of The King's Spite
© James Whitcomb Riley
A king--estranged from his loving Queen
By a foolish royal whim--
Adolescence of Day
© Odysseas Elytis
Adolescence of day first lily of joy
The ancient myrtle flutters its flag
The breast of skylarks shall open to the light
And a song shall hover in mid-air
Sowing the golden barley of fire
To the five winds
From The Greek Of Moschus : Pan Loved His Neighbour Echo
© Percy Bysshe Shelley
Pan loved his neighbour Echo--but that child
Of Earth and Air pined for the Satyr leaping;
The Satyr loved with wasting madness wild
The bright nymph Lyda,--and so three went weeping.
Storm
© Archibald Lampman
Out of the gray northwest, where many a day gone by
Ye tugged and howled in your tempestuous grot,
And evermore the huge frost giants lie,
Your wizard guards in vigilance unforgot,
