Hiawatha's Photographing

In its case it lay compactly,
Folded into nearly nothing;

Down the west gleams, golden-red, a ray.

To the too-dear, to the too-beautiful,
who fills my heart with clarity,

How Shall I Woo Thee
© Paul Laurence Dunbar
How shall I woo thee to win thee, mine own?
Say in what tongue shall I tell of my love.
I who was fearless so timid have grown,
All that was eagle has turned into dove.
The path from the meadow that leads to the bars
Is more to me now than the path of the stars.

His reign on earth begun!

Haunted Chambers

The lamp-lit page is turned, the dream forgotten;
The music changes tone, you wake, remember
Deep worlds you lived before, deep worlds hereafter
Of leaf on falling leaf, music on music,
Rain and sorrow and wind and dust and laughter.

Ask what is human life -- the sage replies,
With disappointment lowering in his eyes,
Hay-Cutters

Time tells them. They go along touching
the grass, the feathery ends. When it feels
just so, they start the mowing machine,
leaving the land its long windrows,
and air strokes the leaves dry.

Wrap thy cloak around thy form;
Though the tempest rise in power,
God is mightier than the storm!_'"
"Here, where the vine and fig bask hand in hand,"
© Alfred Austin
Here, where the vine and fig bask hand in hand,
And the hot lizard lies along the wall,
