The little lark adoring his lord the sun;
Across the corn the lazy ripples run;
Under the eaves,
conferring

Doves droop or amble; the agile waterfly
Wrinkles the pool; and flowers, gay and dun,
Rose, bluebell, rhododendron, one by one,
The buccaneering bees prove busily.

The prayer of Ajax was for light;
Through all that dark and desperate fight
The
blackness
of that noonday night
He asked but the return of sight,
To see his foeman's face.

By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a

The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!

Dickinson - Two - Complete |

Seeing nothing that's low or base,
Except a people, born our reverse,
As though

Who serve me worse than frost and ice,
For each one with his tongue can sting,
And murmurs evilly and whistles.
