Echo
By Christina Rossetti Come to me in the silence of the night; Come in the speaking silence of a dream;Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright As sunlight on a stream; Come back in tears,O memory, hope, love of finished years. Oh dream how sweet, too sweet, too bitter sweet, Whose wakening should have been in Paradise,Where […]

A Boat Beneath a Sunny Sky
By Lewis Carroll A boat beneath a sunny sky,Lingering onward dreamilyIn an evening of July — Children three that nestle near,Eager eye and willing ear,Pleased a simple tale to hear — Long has paled that sunny sky:Echoes fade and memories die:Autumn frosts have slain July. Still she haunts me, phantomwise,Alice moving under skiesNever seen by […]

A Modest Love
By Sir Edward Dyer The lowest trees have tops, the ant her gall,The fly her spleen, the little sparks their heat;The slender hairs cast shadows, though but small,And bees have stings, although they be not great;Seas have their source, and so have shallow springs;And love is love, in beggars as in kings. Where rivers smoothest […]

They built tongue & groove — wedged into their place in […]

Power of Music
By William Wordsworth AN Orpheus! an Orpheus! yes, Faith may grow bold,And take to herself all the wonders of old;–Near the stately Pantheon you’ll meet with the sameIn the street that from Oxford hath borrowed its name. His station is there; and he works on the crowd,He sways them with harmony merry and loud;He fills with his power all their hearts to the brim–Was aught ever heard like his fiddle and him? What an eager assembly! what an empire is this!The weary have life, and the hungry have bliss;The mourner is cheered, and the anxious have rest;And the guilt-burthened […]

I Wondered Lonely as a Cloud
By William Wordsworth I wandered lonely as a cloudThat floats on high o’er vales and hills,When all at once I saw a crowd,A host, of golden daffodils;Beside the lake, beneath the trees,Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shineAnd twinkle on the milky way,They stretched in never-ending lineAlong the margin of […]
