The loves that meet in Paradise shall cast out fear, And Paradise hath room for you and me and all. - Saints and Angels (st. 10) [Paradise] Somewhere or other there must surely be The face not seen, the voice not heard, The heart that not yet--never yet--ah me! Made answer to my word. - Somewhere or Other [Sympathy] When I am dead, my dearest, Sing no sad songs for me; Plant thou no roses at my head, No shady cypress tree. - Song [Death] O, roses for the flush of youth, And laurel for the perfect prime; But pluck an ivy branch for me, Grown old before my time. - Song (st. 1) [Age] I wept for memory. - Song--She Sat and Sang Always [Memory] There goes the swallow,-- Could we but follow! Hasty swallow, stay, Point us out the way; Look back swallow, turn back swallow, stop swallow. - Songs in a Cornfield (st. 7) [Swallows] Silence more musical than any song. - Sonnet--Rest [Silence] There is no time like Spring When life's alive in everything, Before new nestlings sing, Before cleft swallows speed their journey back Along the trackless track. - Spring (st. 3) [Spring] Wintry boughs against a wintry sky; Yet the sky is partly blue And the clouds are partly bright. Who can tell but sap is mounting high, Out of sight, Ready to burst through? - Spring Signals to Winter [Winter] Before green apples blush, Before green nuts embrown, Why, one day in the country Is worth a month in town. - Summer [Summer] I watched a rose-bud very long Brought on by dew and sun and shower, Waiting to see the perfect flower: Then when I thought it should be strong It opened at the matin hour And fell at even-song. - Symbols [Roses] It was the rampart of God's house That she was standing on; By God built over the sheer depth, The which is Space begun; So high, that looking downward thence, She scarce could see the sun. - The Blessed Damozel [Heaven] The blessed Damozel lean'd out From the gold bar of Heaven: Her eyes knew more of rest and shade Of waters still'd at even; She had three lilies in her hand, And the stars in her hair were seven. - The Blessed Damozel, (version in Oxford Ed. of "Golden Treasury") [Heaven] The sun was gone now; the curled moon was like a little feather Fluttering far down the gulf. - The Blessed Damozel (st. 10) [Moon] I wonder if the sap is stirring yet, If wintry birds are dreaming of a mate, If frozen snowdrops fell as yet the sun, And crocus fires are kindling one by one. - The First Spring Day (st. 1) [Spring] I plucked a honeysuckle where The hedge on high is quick with thorn, And climbing for the prize, was torn, And fouled my feet in quag-water; And by the thorns and by the wind The blossom that I took was thinn'd And yet I found it sweet and fair. - The Honeysuckle [Honeysuckles] One by one the flowers close, Lily and dewy rose Shutting their tender petals from the moon. - Twilight Calm [Evening] Hark! that's the nightingale, Telling the self-same tale Her song told when this ancient earth was young: So echoes answered when her song was sung In the first wooded vale. - Twilight Calm (st. 7) [Nightingales] We met, hand to hand, We clasped hands close and fast, As close as oak and ivy stand; But it is past: Come day, come night, day comes at last. - Twilight--Night (I, st. 1) [Day] Shall I meet other wayfarers at night? Those who have gone before. Then must I knock, or call when just in sight? They will not keep you standing at that door. - Up Hill [Welcome] Does the road wind up-hill all the way? Yes, to the very end. Will the day's journey take the whole long day? From morn to night, my friend. - Up-Hill [Traveling] Displaying page 2 of 2 for this author: << Prev 1 [2]
