Love Of My Love

O Love of my Love, O blue,
Blue sky that over me bends!
The height and the light are you,
And I the lark that ascends,

Who said, 'Tick-a-Tick, Tick-a-Tick;

And he said nothing more,
That laconic Old Person of Wick

Lines For A Sun-Dial

© Alfred Noyes

With shadowy pen I write,
  Till time be done,
  Good news of some strange light,
Some far off sun.

Liberty, Equality, Fraternity

© Victor Marie Hugo

For centuries past this war-madness
  Has laid hold of each combative race,
While our God takes but heed of the flower,
  And that sun, moon, and stars keep their place.

Lines On Marle Field

What is the task that to the muse belongs?
What but to deck in her harmonious songs
The beauteous works of nature and of art,
Rural retreats that cheer the heavy heart?

Limerick: There was an old man whose despair

© Edward Lear

There was an old man whose despair
Induced him to purchase a hare:
Whereon one fine day,
He rode wholly away,
Which partly assuaged his despair.

She dwelt among the untrodden ways
  Beside the springs of Dove,
Maid whom there were none to praise
  And very few to love:

I had a love in soft south land,
 Beloved through April far in May;
He waited on my lightest breath,
 And never dared to say me nay.

Who suddenly married a Quaker;

Lonesome Place

© Langston Hughes

I got to leave this town.
It’s a lonesome place.
Got to leave this town cause
It’s a lonesome place.
A po’, po’ boy can’t
Find a friendly face.

Oh, there is a being that haunteth my dreams
When night sendeth slumber to me,
So like thee that of ten in waking it seems
It cannot be other than thee.

Lines: "I Stooped from Star-Bright Regions"

© Henry Timrod

I stooped from star-bright regions, where
Thou canst not enter even in prayer;
And thought to light thy heart and hearth
With all the poesy of earth.

L'art Et Le Peuple (Art And The People)

© Victor Marie Hugo

L'art, c'est la gloire et la joie.
Dans la tempête il flamboie ;
Il éclaire le ciel bleu.
L'art, splendeur universelle,
Au front du peuple étincelle,
Comme l'astre au front de Dieu.

Lady, your words do spite me,

Yet your sweet lips so soft,
