When the hot sun singes the yellow leaves
Till they be gold,—and with a broader sphere

The Two Friends

© Charles Godfrey Leland

I HAVE two friends—two glorious friends—two better could not be,

And every night when midnight tolls they meet to laugh with me.

Cicadas at the End of Summer by Martin Walls: American Life in Poetry #24 Ted Kooser, U.S. Poet Laur

© Ted Kooser

But all you ever see is the silence.
Husks, glued to the underside of maple leaves.
With their nineteen fifties Bakelite lines they'd do
just as well hanging from the ceiling of a space
museum —

Go Not Far From Me, O My God

© Anna Laetitia Waring

Go not far from me, O my God,
Whom all my times obey;
Take from me anything Thou wilt,
But go not Thou away,
And let the storm that does thy work
Deal with me as it may.

A Testimony

© Christina Georgina Rossetti

I said of laughter: it is vain.
 Of mirth I said: what profits it?
 Therefore I found a book, and writ
Therein how ease and also pain,
How health and sickness, every one
Is vanity beneath the sun.

And the morning sky is red,
Then my heart doth rise and say,
`Surely she will come to-day.'

The After-Comers

© Robert Traill Spence Lowell

Their daisy, oak and rose were new;
Fresh runnels down their valleys babbled;
New were red lip, true eyes, fresh dew;
All dells, all shores, had not been rabbled;  
Nor yet the rhyming lovers’ crew
Tree-bark and casement-pane had scrabbled.

Rhymed Plea For Tolerance - Dialogue I

© John Kenyon

  Yet the heart vents still more indignant blame,
  Where Lawgivers their sullen codes proclaim,
  And idly would constrain the creed within,
  As if Belief were Crime, and Tolerance—Sin.

On two Children dying of one Disease, and buried in one Grave

© Henry King

Brought forth in sorrow, and bred up in care,
Two tender Children here entombed are:
One Place, one Sire, one Womb their being gave,
They had one mortal sickness, and one grave.
