Alone?

© Adams Mary Electa

The sunlight through the open doorComes in, and streams along the floor,The slant rays of a falling August sunWell-nigh throughout its sultry circuit run;And hushed is every sound of breeze or leaf or bird,Save the low trill of insects, past the lattice heard, In the dry grass As the hours pass

"The Undying One" - Canto III

© Caroline Norton

"I went through the world, but I paused not now
At the gladsome heart and the joyous brow:
I went through the world, and I stay'd to mark
Where the heart was sore, and the spirit dark:
And the grief of others, though sad to see,
Was fraught with a demon's joy to me!

Quatrains

© Ralph Waldo Emerson

With beams December planets dart
His cold eye truth and conduct scanned,
July was in his sunny heart,
October in his liberal hand.

Pharsalia - Book V: The Oracle. The Mutiny. The Storm

© Marcus Annaeus Lucanus

  While soldier thus and chief,
In doubtful sort, against their hidden fate
Devised their counsel, Appius alone
Feared for the chances of the war, and sought
Through Phoebus' ancient oracle to break
The silence of the gods and know the end.

Rhymed Plea For Tolerance - Dialogue II.

© John Kenyon


A.—
  By no faint shame withheld from general gaze,
  'Tis thus, my friend, we bask us in the blaze;
  Where deeds, more surface-smooth than inly bright,
  Snatch up a transient lustre from the light.

Mind.

© Robert Crawford

Without us and within us mind is all;
The truth of life and knowledge still are one,
And though all be a dream, yet in the dream
All is true to the after and before,

Alma; or, The Progress of the Mind. In Three Cantos. - Canto I.

© Matthew Prior

Without these aids, to be more serious,
Her power they hold had been precarious;
The eyes might have conspired her ruin,
And she not known what they were doing.
Foolish it had been and unkind
That they should see and she be blind.

The Land Of Pallas

© Archibald Lampman

Methought I journeyed along ways that led for ever
  Throughout a happy land where strife and care were dead,
And life went by me flowing like a placid river
  Past sandy eyots where the shifting shoals make head.

A Marriage

An auto going south, and words in a room,
And outside, pink of May, white of June, brown of September,
white of December.
