With cunning arrows poisonous and keen,
To take forthwith her

And dull her little een,

Ere her too buoyant Hodge had reached her side;
So, when he came, he clasped her but in death,

Fill with ice: cold hail

And the horror of the worst months of the year
Makes the grass bristle across the plain:
Now when the wind mutinously prowling,
Cracks the boulders, and uproots the trees,
When the redoubled roaring of the seas
Fills all the shoreline with its wild surging:
Love burns me, and winter's bitter cold
That freezes all, cannot freeze the old
Ardour in my heart that lasts forever.

Chief of the fastnesses, dappled and vast,

In a deer-hide sack,
The beautiful

The ghosts of all the forests and the groves--
In that pack on his back,
In that talisman sack,
To-morrow's peaches, pears and cherries,
To-morrow's grapes and red raspberries,
Seeds and tree souls, precious things,
Feathered with microscopic wings,
All the outdoors the child heart knows,
And the apple, green, red, and white,
Sun of his day and his night--
The apple allied to the thorn,
Child of the rose.

Even when we sleep we watch over each other
Donkey or cow,

or horse
I looked in front of me
If I speak it's to hear you more clearly
We two take each other by the hand
At dawn I love you I've the whole night in my veins
She looks into me

Spenser - Faerie Queene - 1 |

Where's my smooth brow gone:
My arching lashes, yellow hair,
Wide-eyed glances, pretty ones,
That took in the cleverest there:
Nose not too big or small: a pair
Of
delicate
little ears, the chin
Dimpled: a face oval and fair,
Lovely lips with crimson skin?

But, since it once hath been,
No more that

Can harrow me.

wide is the woe
when the foeman has mounted the wall;
There is havoc and terror and flame,
and the dark smoke broods over all,
And wild is the war-god's breath,
as in frenzy of
conquest
he springs,
And pollutes with the blast of his lips
the glory of holiest things!

Moonlighted, like a flower
Grew round us and exhaled delight
To bless that one sweet hour.

When thou'rt awake, thou

Corneille - Le Cid |

The shadows from yon gentle heights that fall,
Where sparkles my sweet fire, where
brightly
grew
That stately laurel from a sucker small,
Increasing, as I speak, hide from my view
The beauteous landscape and the blessed scene,
Where dwells my true heart with its only queen.
