What can be said of this land
With my people threading on it
It has become a wailing land
Life is born and given away

A Dying Bachelor
His eyes deeming like a rainy cloud,
The chime of his voice joisting in chide,
For on his dying mattress he lay,
Winking and blinking in hayfever like a dying soul in pain,

I looked up the sky
and I saw the sadness of the moon
garzing at the cloud crying to give
light to its lover and shield away

A Little Prayer
Let us be thankful, Lord, for little things-
The song of birds, the rapture of the rose;
Cloud-dappled skies, the laugh of limpid springs,
Drowned sunbeams and the perfume April blows;

Michael: A Pastoral Poem

Up the tumultuous brook of Green-head Ghyll,
You will suppose that with an upright path
Your feet must struggle; in such bold ascent

Sick to gaze within
Mine eye weepeth sore

As others saw-I could not bring
My passions from a common spring-

You are so exquisitely sweet:

To echoes of your eager feet.

A seven years' bargain for the Golden Fleece.
'Twas a bad deal all round; and dear enough
It cost me, what with my daft management,

Remembrances
Summer pleasures they are gone like to visions every one
And the cloudy days of autumn and of winter cometh on
I tried to call them back but unbidden they are gone
Far away from heart and eye and for ever far away

Once again the Steamer at Calais, the tackles
Easing the car-trays on to the quay. Release her!
Sign-refill, and let me away with my horses
(Seventy Thundering Horses!)

Afternoon
Small, shapeless drifts of cloud
Sail slowly northward in the soft-hued sky,
With blur half-tints and rolling summits bright,
By the late sun caressed; slight hazes shroud

To feel the light, and hear the hum
Of bees, and smell the drying grass
And the sweet mint, because I had come

this huntress of the winter air
whose level weapon needs no sight,
if it were not that everywhere

The tan of the sun will be on your skin,
The purr of the breeze in your murmuring speech,

That though the waves dash o'er the bark,
Yet after while the light will come,
And in calm waters safe at home

A feeling strange or new;
Thou hast but roused a latent thought,
A cloud-closed beam of sunshine, brought

A poet of one mood in all my lays,
Ranging all life to sing one only love,
Like a west wind across the world I move,
Sweeping my harp of floods mine own wild ways.

In the leafy trees so broad and tall,
Like a green and beautiful palace hall,

As fairest thought, climbs the high sheltering hill;

Oina-morul
After an address to Malvina, the daughter of Toscar, Ossian proceeds to relate his own expedition to Fuärfed, an island of Scandinavia. Mal-orchol, king of Fuärfed, being hard pressed in war by Ton-thormod, chief of Sar-dronto (who had demanded in vain the daughter of Mal-orchol in marriage,) Fingal sent Ossian to his aid. Ossian, on the day after his arrival, came to battle with Ton-thormod, and took him prisoner. Mal-orchol offers his daughter, Oina-morul, to Ossian; but he, discovering her passion for Ton-thormod, generously surrenders her to her lover, and brings about a reconciliation between the two kings.

It lies, a windless land of livid dawns,
Nude to a desolate firmament, with hills
That seem the gibbous bones of the mummied Earth,

Buzzing bees pollinating colorful bloom,
To reproduce seeds ,
In nature generation of daffodils continue.

Life's little season, meant for man's delight,

An iceberg took it away,
From its detaining comrades breaking forth,
And traveling night and day.

Oft thick fogs cloud Heaven's rays?

Seem a heart overcharged to express?

And life can shew no joy for me;
And I behold a yawning tomb,
Where bowers and palaces should be;

In poet's tower, cellar, or barn, or tree;
The silk-worm in the dark green mulberry leaves
His winding sheet and cradle ever weaves;
