So he waxes in wealth, nowise can harm him

shadow his spirit; no sword-hate threatens
from ever an enemy: all the world
wends at his will, no worse he knoweth,
till all within him obstinate pride

which masters his might, and the murderer nears,
stealthily
shooting

Wise harbinger of spheres and tides,
A lover true, who knew by heart
Each joy the mountain dales impart;

In quaking bog, on snowy hill,
Beneath the grass that shades the rill,
Under the snow, between the rocks,
In damp fields known to bird and fox.

Down upon us heavily runs,
Silent and sullen, the floating fort;
Then comes a puff of smoke from her guns,
And leaps the
terrible
death,
With fiery breath,
From each open port.

Above the antique mantel was displayed
As though a window gave upon the sylvan scene
The change of Philomel, by the barbarous king
So rudely forced; yet there the nightingale 100
Filled all the desert with
inviolable
voice
And still she cried, and still the world pursues,
"Jug Jug" to dirty ears.

I was hauled out of bed, and forced
on deck in my shirt, suffering great pain from the

with which
they had tied my hands.

I say little of what's inside me,
I tremble lest I shake with fear;
Tongue may feign, but heart wills too
That which it dwells on sadly:
So I languish, but silently,
For as totally
As earth's
bordered
by sea
None I may state | of late
Compares equally
To that coveted she.

Troubador Verse |
|
And all the woods are alive with the murmur and sound of Spring,
And the rose-bud breaks into pink on the climbing briar,
And the crocus-bed is a quivering moon of fire
Girdled round with the belt of an
amethyst
ring.

Oscar Wilde - Poetry |
|
With swan-like wings
dispread
and pointing up,
Who thus had spoken marshal'd us along,
Where each side of the solid masonry
The sloping, walls retir'd; then mov'd his plumes,
And fanning us, affirm'd that those, who mourn,
Are blessed, for that comfort shall be theirs.
