Those spirits to which you their being lend;

And sent him on his way without a friend;
There whither day and night my course he'd bend,
Though still from thence by me reluctant led.

Whenas one daughter alone a grandson so tardy had reared, 120
Who being found against hope to inherit riches of forbears
In the well-witnessed Will haply by name did appear,
And 'spite impious hopes of baffled claimant to kinship
Startles the

Sleep in the trees, while the years howled by--
Calling the

by name,
And buffalo bulls no hand could tame,
Slaying never a living creature,
Joining the birds in every game,
With the gorgeous turkey gobblers mocking,
With the lean-necked eagles boxing and shouting;
Sticking their feathers in his hair,--
Turkey feathers,
Eagle feathers,--
Trading hearts with all beasts and weathers
He swept on, winged and wonder-crested,
Bare-armed, barefooted, and bare-breasted.

Thomas Hardy - Poems of the Past and Present |

Painters are gay
As young rabbits in May:
They buy jolly mugs,
Bowls, pictures, and jugs:
The things round their necks
Are lively with checks,
(For they like
something
red
As a frame for the head):
Or they'll curse you with oaths,
That tear holes in your clothes.

No pleasing
intricacies
intervene,
No artful wildness to perplex the scene;
Grove nods at grove, each alley has a brother,
And half the platform just reflects the other.

XIII
And that more wondrous was, in either jaw
Three ranckes of yron teeth enraunged were, 110
In which yet trickling blood, and gobbets raw
Of late devoured bodies did appeare,
That sight thereof bred cold congealed feare:
Which to increase, and as atonce to kill,
A cloud of smoothering smoke and
sulphure
seare, 115
Out of his stinking gorge forth steemed still,
That all the ayre about with smoke and stench did fill.

If you are willing to pledge me your heart, lover,
