The Columbiad: Book IX

© Joel Barlow

Shrouded in deeper darkness now he veers
The vast gyration of a thousand years,
Strikes out each lamp that would illume his way,
Disputes his food with every beast of prey;
Imbands his force to fence his trist abodes,
A wretched robber with his feudal codes.

Heroes, whose days are told,
Above whose bodies brave
Presses the heavy, cold,
And quenching wave!

Anhelli - Chapter 10

© Juliusz Slowacki

And lo, those exiles in the snowy tabernacle,
in the absence of the Shaman, had begun to quarrel among themselves,
and had divided into three groups ;
but each of these groups thought of the deliverance of the fatherland.

The Bush Fire

© Charles Harpur

  What this might be he wondered—but not long;
Divining soon the cause—a vast Bush Fire!
But deeming it too distant yet for harm,
During the night betiding, to repose
With his bed-faring household he retired.

The Fairy Of The Fountains

© Letitia Elizabeth Landon

And a youthful warrior stands
Gazing not upon those bands,
Not upon the lovely scene,
But upon its lovelier queen,
Who with gentle word and smile
Courteous prays his stay awhile.

I Was Again Beside Thee In A Dream

© Mathilde Blind

I was again beside thee in a dream:
  Earth was so beautiful, the moon was shining;
The muffled voice of many a cataract stream
  Came like a love-song, as, with arms entwining,
Our hearts were mixed in unison supreme.

Song.—Yes, I had hope

© Louisa Stuart Costello

Yes! I had hope when first we met,
  For hope and joy were in thine eye;
'Twas long before I could forget,
  I trusted thee so tenderly.

The Surgeon's Warning

© Robert Southey

The Doctor whispered to the Nurse
  And the Surgeon knew what he said,
And he grew pale at the Doctor's tale
  And trembled in his sick bed.

Come, sinners, to the gospel feast,
Let every soul be Jesu's guest;
Ye need not one be left behind,
For God hath bidden all mankind.

A Judgment In Heaven

© Francis Thompson

Athwart the sod which is treading for God * the poet paced with his
splendid eyes;
Paradise-verdure he stately passes * to win to the Father of
Paradise,
Through the conscious and palpitant grasses * of inter-tangled
relucent dyes.

The Purple Cow Parodies

© Carolyn Wells

I never saw a Purple Cow,
I never hope to see one;
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one.

Her Going

© Eleanor Agnes Lee

The Wife
Child, why do you linger beside her portal?
None shall hear you now if you knock or clamor*
All is dark, hidden in heaviest leafage.
None shall behold you.

Mother Of Exiles

© Robert Laurence Binyon

Ships on far tracks are stemming through the night;
South, east and west by foreign stars they steer;
Another half--world in the sun lies bright;
The darkness and the wind are here.
