To a Gentleman and Lady on the Death of the Lady's Brother and Sister

© Phillis Wheatley

But, Madam, let your grief be laid aside,
And let the fountain of your tears be dry'd,
In vain they flow to wet the dusty plain,
Your sighs are wafted to the skies in vain,
Your pains they witness, but they can no more,

Verses on Sir Joshua Reynold's Painted Window at New College, Oxford

© Thomas Warton

To add new lustre to religious light:
Not of its pomp to strip this ancient shrine,
But bid that pomp with purer radiance shine:
With arts unknown before, to reconcile
The willing Graces to the Gothic pile.

Memoriam A. H. H.: 72. Risest thou thus, dim dawn, again

© Alfred Tennyson

Who might'st have heaved a windless flame
Up the deep East, or, whispering, play'd
A chequer-work of beam and shade
Along the hills, yet look'd the same.

With ravine, shriek'd against his creed--

Delayest the sorrow in my blood,
That longs to burst a frozen bud
And flood a fresher throat with song.

And falling with my weight of cares
Upon the great world's altar-stairs
That slope thro' darkness up to God,

I can but trust that good shall fall
At last--far off--at last, to all,
And every winter change to spring.

In that it is thy marriage day

And shall I take a thing so blind,
Embrace her as my natural good;
Or crush her, like a vice of blood,
Upon the threshold of the mind?
