Ode on Adversity
Ode on Adversity By Mary Darby Robinson WHERE o’er my head, the deaf’ning Tempest blew, And Night’s cold lamp cast forth a feeble ray; Where o’er the woodlands, vivid light’nings flew, Cleft the strong oak, and scorch’d the blossom’d spray; At morn’s approach, I mark…

A Prayer for Victory over Temptation
A Prayer for Victory over Temptation
Haste to me, Lord, when this fool-heart of mine
Begins to gnaw itself with selfish craving;
Or, like a foul thing scarcely worth the saving,
Swoln up with wrath, desireth vengeance fine.
Haste, Lord, to help, when reason favours wron…

The Human Seasons
The Human Seasons By John Keats Four Seasons fill the measure of the year; There are four seasons in the mind of man:He has his lusty Spring, when fancy clear Takes in all beauty with an easy span:He has his Summer, when luxuriously Spring’s honied cud of…
In the Green Mountains
In The Green Mountains by Jessie Rittenhouse I dare not look away From beauty such as this,Lest, while my glance should stray, Some loveliness I miss. The trees might choose to print Their shadow on the lake;The windless air…
The Brook
The Brook by Alfred Tennyson I come from haunts of coot and hern, I make a sudden sallyAnd sparkle out among the fern, To bicker down a valley. By thirty hills I hurry down, Or slip between the ridges,By twenty thorpes, a little town, And half a hundred bridges. Till…
Sea Fever
Sea Fever by John Masefield I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,And a gray mist on the sea’s face, and a gray dawn…
I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud
I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud by William Wordsworth I wandered lonely as a cloudThat floats on high o’er vales and hills,When all at once I saw a crowd,A host, of golden daffodils;Beside the lake, beneath the trees,Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as…
A Prayer In Spring
A Prayer in Spring Poem by Robert Frost
Nothing Gold Can Stay
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
Robert Frost. “Nothing Gold Can Stay.”
On December 21 by Amos Russel Wells
Now let the weather do its worst,
With frost and sleet and blowing,
Rage like a beldam wild and curst,
And have its fill of snowing.
Now let the ice in savage vise
Grip meadow, brook, and branches,
Down from the north pour winter forth
In roaring avalanches.
December by Joseph Herron
Child of the grand old winter,
December floateth by;
And the ground without is bare and white
As the moon in the cloudless sky.
December by Harvey Carson Grumbine
December by Harvey Carson Grumbine
High like skeletons grim
The trees hold up their arms;
The last leaf’s hurried from its limb
By the tempest’s wild alarms;
The river ripples gray and cold,
And autumn’s o’er like a story told.
