I could die—to know

© Emily Dickinson

I could die—to know—
'Tis a trifling knowledge—
News-Boys salute the Door—
Carts—joggle by—
Morning's bold face—stares in the window—
Were but mine—the Charter of the least Fly—

Inconsiderate Hannah

Naughty little Hannah said
  She could make her grandma whistle,
So, that night, inside her bed
  Placed some nettles and a thistle.

  If such a dreamy touch should fall,
  O turn thee round, resolve the doubt;

  In that high place, and tell thee all.

In Memory Of Richard Henry Powell

2nd Lieut., Cinque Ports Battalion, Royal Sussex Regiment
Strong, loyal--souled, full--hearted, blithely brave,
Only remembering love knows all he gave:
Beautiful be the stars above his grave.

In youth, it was a way I had
  To do my best to please,
And change, with every passing lad,
  To suit his theories.

In Praise Of Gloriana’s Remarkable Golden Hair

© Vachel Lindsay

The gleaming head of one fine friend
Is bent above my little song,
So through the treasure-pits of Heaven
In fancy’s shoes, I march along.

In Midas' Country

© Sylvia Plath

Meadows of gold dust. The silver
Currents of the Connecticut fan
And meander in bland pleatings under
River-verge farms where rye-heads whiten.
All's polished to a dull luster

In The Evening

© Anna Akhmatova

The garden rang with music
Of inexpressible despair.
A dish of oysters spread on ice
Smelled like the ocean, fresh and sharp.

In The Public Library

© Lesbia Harford

Standing on tiptoe, head back, eyes and arm
Upraised, Kate groped to reach the higher shelf.
Her sleeve slid up like darkness in alarm
At gleam of dawn. Impatient with herself

I Once Knew A Woman

© Sheldon Allan Silverstein

Well now I once knew a woman listen while I tell you all about her yeah
And the first time I seen her I knew I couldn't live without her
Well now she swore she'd love me all her life and I knew I'd do the same
God damn but I don't even remember her name I don't remember her name

And lov'd when they should hate, like thee, Imelda! ~ Italy, a Poem

  But they don't know _all_ things,--
  'Cause we ketch 'em, lots o' times,
  Even on little small things.

  Yo te diré los sueños de mi vida
En lo más hondo de la noche azul…
Mi alma desnuda temblará en tus manos,
Sobre tus hombros pesará mi cruz.

In Memoriam A. H. H.: 22

© Alfred Tennyson

Who broke our fair companionship,
  And spread his mantle dark and cold,
  And wrapt thee formless in the fold,
And dull'd the murmur on thy lip,
