Gordon's Grave, by Francis William Lauderdale Adams



All the heat and the glow and the hush
of the summer afternoon;
the scent of the sweet-briar bush
over bowing grass-blades and broom;

the birds that flit and pass;

Still Cold Outside..., by Ghan Dace



Living in the forest of pain,
No one could see my tears in the rain,
Night was the witness
Cold was the witness
and my broken wings, but you...

Complete Poem


Leisure, by William Henry Davies



What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,

To Mistress Margery Wentworth, by John Skelton



WITH margerain gentle,
The flower of goodlihead,
Embroidered the mantle

Around me I behold,
Where'er these casual eyes are cast,

And borrows those bright arms from you
With which he does the world subdue,

What sylvan this, and what the stranger whim

William H. Herndon, by Edgar Lee Masters



Spoon River Anthology

There by the window in the old house
Perched on the bluff, overlooking miles of valley,
My days of labor closed, sitting out life's decline,
Day by day did I look in my memory,

The Most-Sacred Mountain, by Eunice Tietjens



Space, and the twelve clean winds of heaven,
And this sharp exultation, like a cry, after the slow six thousand
steps of climbing!
This is Tai Shan, the beautiful, the most holy.

Below my feet the foot-hills nestle, brown with flecks of green;

At a Solemn Musick, by John Milton



BLEST pair of Sirens, pledges of Heav'ns joy,
Sphear-born harmonious Sisters, Voice, and Vers,
Wed your divine sounds, and mixt power employ
Dead things with inbreath'd sense able to pierce,
And to our high-rais'd phantasie present,

Too Many Things to Remember About You

You never said I was dumb

So much to remember, my head feels numb
