Near the flame, I shiver beyond belief:
Bare as a worm, dressed in a furry sheathe,

Strong I am, without power or persuasion,
Welcomed gladly, and spurned by everyone.

She whom both Pyrrhus and Libyan Mars
Found no way to tame, this proud city,
That with a courage forged in adversity,
Sustained the shock of endless wars,
Though her ship, plagued at the source
By great waves, felt the world's enmity,
None ever saw the reefs of adversity
Wreak havoc on her
fortunate
course:
But, the object of her virtue failing,
Her power opposed its own flailing,
Like the voyager whom a cruel gale
Has long since separated from the shore,
Driven now by the storm's wild roar,
And shipwrecked there, when all efforts fail.

Angela the old
Died palsy-twitch'd, with meagre face deform;
The Beadsman, after thousand aves told,
For aye
unsought
for slept among his ashes cold.

The meadows mine, the mountains mine, --
All forests,
stintless

As much of noon as I could take
Between my finite eyes.

Dickinson - Two - Complete |
|
Winter giveth the fields and the trees, so old,
Their beards of icicles and snow;
And the rain, it raineth so fast and cold,
We must cower over the embers low;
And, snugly housed from the wind and weather,
Mope like birds that are
changing
feather.

Bryghte sonne han ynne hys roddie robes byn dyghte,
From the rodde Easte he flytted wythe hys trayne, 735
The howers drewe awaie the geete of nyghte,
Her sable
tapistrie
was rente yn twayne.
