Meeting at Night by Barrettt Browning

January 24th 2007 00:37
Meeting at Night by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
I.

The grey sea and the long black land;
And the yellow half-moon large and low;
And the startled little waves that leap
In fiery ringlets from their sleep,
As I gain the cove with pushing prow,
And quench its speed i' the slushy sand.

II.

Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach;
Three fields to cross till a farm appears;
A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch
And blue spurt of a lighted match,
And a voice less loud, thro' its joys and fears,
Than the two hearts beating each to each!


Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Music, when soft voices die

January 18th 2007 01:45
Music, when soft voices die
by Percy Bysshe Shelley



Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory,
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.

The Grave Of Shelley

January 16th 2007 02:24
THE GRAVE OF SHELLEY by OSCAR WILDE



Like burnt-out torches by a sick man's bed
Gaunt cypress-trees stand round the sun-bleached stone;
Here doth the little night-owl make her throne,
And the slight lizard show his jewelled head.
And, where the chaliced poppies flame to red,
In the still chamber of yon pyramid
Surely some Old-World Sphinx lurks darkly hid,
Grim warder of this pleasaunce of the dead.

Ah! sweet indeed to rest within the womb
Of Earth, great mother of eternal sleep,
But sweeter far for thee a restless tomb
In the blue cavern of an echoing deep,
Or where the tall ships founder in the gloom
Against the rocks of some wave-shattered steep.

CHARLES BAUDELAIRE’S GRAVE by DOROTHY PORTER

November 28th 2006 03:12
...and now for some contemporary Australian poetry. Although the author is clearly Australian, one wouldn't know from the subject matter of her poem. She is emblematic of the modern Australian who is educated and urbane.

on The Man form Ironbark by Banjo Patterson

Wow Bush Poet and Ballad Writer, you are ace. That was really excellent sequel to the Man From Ironbark. While I am not surprised that revenge was sought I cannot help feeling that it was taken a little too far with the murder of some ten barbers! I guess vengeance is not rational and any barber could pay the price. I for one am glad I have never had to face the barber's razer blade.

I look forward to reading more of your rhymes on your Bush Poetry Ballads and Yarns site.

Cheers, Jasmine
