A green isle in the sea, love,
A fountain and a shrine,
All
wreathed
with fairy fruits and flowers,
And all the flowers were mine.

Masts, spires, and strand retiring to the right,
The glorious main
expanding
o'er the bow,
The convoy spread like wild swans in their flight,
The dullest sailer wearing bravely now,
So gaily curl the waves before each dashing prow.

Byron - Childe Harold's Pilgrimage |

The field was full of
bleeding
heaps;
Ghastly corpses of men and horses
That met death at a thousand sources;

Long love-locks clotted to a mesh
That stifled; stiffened mouths beneath
Staring eyes that had looked on death.

Through Nature's vale his homely pleasures glide,
Unstained by envy, discontent, and pride;
The bound of all his vanity, to deck,
With one bright bell, a
favourite
heifer's neck; 495
Well pleased [129] upon some simple annual feast,
Remembered half the year and hoped the rest,
If dairy-produce, from his inner hoard,
Of thrice ten summers dignify [130] the board.

THE LITTLE GIRL LOST
In futurity
I prophetic see
That the earth from sleep
(Grave the
sentence
deep)
Shall arise, and seek
for her Maker meek;
And the desert wild
Become a garden mild.
