Sprinkle its coolness, and from the dry dust
Of weary life a moment lave it clean

Latin - Catullus |
|
So lone and cold they lie; but we,
We still have life; we still may greet
Our
pleasant
friends in home and street;
We still have life, are able still
To climb the turf of Bignor Hill,
To see the placid sheep go by,
To hear the sheep-dog's eager cry,
To feel the sun, to taste the rain,
To smell the Autumn's scents again
Beneath the brown and gold and red
Which old October's brush has spread,
To hear the robin in the lane,
To look upon the English sky.

War Poetry - 1914-17 |
|
Nor would I now attempt to trace
The more than beauty of a face
Whose lineaments, upon my mind,
Are--shadows on th' unstable wind:
Thus I
remember
having dwelt
Some page of early lore upon,
With loitering eye, till I have felt
The letters--with their meaning--melt
To fantasies--with none.

Camoes - Lusiades |

You would have snared me,
and scattered the strands of my nest;
but the very fact that you saw,
sheltered
me, claimed me,
set me apart from the rest.
