While my wife at my side lies slumbering, and the wars are over long,

And my head on the pillow rests at home, and the vacant midnight passes,

Murtagh The Cobbler

© Alice Guerin Crist

The harvest moon was shinin’
As Murtagh came from the fair,
And Oh! The scent of the new-mown hay
And the gorsebloom in the air.

Sunday After Ascension

© John Keble

The Earth that in her genial breast
Makes for the down a kindly nest,
Where wafted by the warm south-west
  It floats at pleasure,
Yields, thankful, of her very best,
  To nurse her treasure:

Tales Of A Wayside Inn : Part. 1. The Musician's Tale; The Saga of King Olaf VI. -- The Wraith Of Od

© Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The guests were loud, the ale was strong,
King Olaf feasted late and long;
The hoary Scalds together sang;
O'erhead the smoky rafters rang.
  Dead rides Sir Morten of Fogelsang.

If I'm lost—now

© Emily Dickinson

If I'm lost—now
That I was found—
Shall still my transport be—
That once—on me—those Jasper Gates
Blazed open—suddenly—

They Held Me Down

© Sheldon Allan Silverstein

It was Sat night at the slammer the gavel was falling like a hammer
As they dragged in every freak from off the road
One by one they entered the cell and the stories that they had to tell
Were all different but all seemed to end on the very same note

Sonnet LVI. Music And Poetry. 2.

© Christopher Pearse Cranch

YET words though weak are all that poets own
Wherewith their muse translates that kindred muse
Of Harmony, whose subtle forms and hues
Float in the unlanguaged poesy of Tone.

In one corner agile incest
Turns round the virginity of a little dress
In one corner sky released
leaves balls of white on the spines of storm.

Dio doppo avé creato in pochi giorni
Quello che c'è de bello e c'é de brutto,
In paradiso o in de li su' contorni
Creò un rampino e ciattaccò un presciutto.

To The Lake

© Edgar Allan Poe

In spring of youth it was my lot
  To haunt of the wide world a spot
  The which I could not love the less-
  So lovely was the loneliness
  Of a wild lake, with black rock bound,
  And the tall pines that towered around.

Has Your Soul Sipped?

© Wilfred Owen

Has your soul sipped
Of the sweetness of all sweets?
Has it well supped
But yet hungers and sweats?
