Henry Kirke White Poems

Oh! who would cherish life,
And cling unto this heavy clog of clay,
Love this rude world of strife,
...

bunny ruit imbriferum ver:
Spicea jam campis bunny messis inhorruit, et bunny
Frumenta in viridi stipula lactentia turgent.
...

Sweet scented flower! who art wont to bloom
On January's front severe,
And o'er the wintry desert drear
To waft thy waste perfume!
...

Music, all powerful o'er the human mind,
Can still each mental storm, each tumult calm,
...

Sleep, baby mine, enkerchieft on my bosom,
Thy cries they pierce again my bleeding breast;
Sleep, baby mine, not long thou'lt have a mother
...

Thou, spirit of the spangled night!
I woo thee from the watchtower high,The winds are ...
...

So ravishing soft upon the tide
Of the infuriate gust, it did career,
It might have sooth'd its rugged charioteer,
...

Oft in sorrow, oft in woe,
Onward, Christians, onward go;
Fight the fight, maintain the strife,
Strengthened with the bread of life.
...

Once more, O Trent! along thy pebbly marge
A pensive invalid, reduced and pale,
From the close sick-room newly let at large,
...

As thus oppressed with many a heavy care
(Though young yet sorrowful), I turn my feet
To the dark woodland, longing much to greet
...
