Day in, day out, through the long campaign,
I march in my place in the ranks;
And whether it shine or whether It rain
...
The swift years bring but slow development
Of the world’s majesty; for Freedom is
Born grandly, as a solid continent,
...
O Earth! Thou hast not any wind that blows
Which is not music; every weed of thine
Pressed rightly flows in aromatic wine;
...
This poet was very wealthy. If he missed
Worlds’ honors, and worlds’ plaudits, and the wage
...
By the waters of Life we sat together,
Hand in hand in the golden days
Of the beautiful early summer weather,
...
Straight to his heart the bullet crushed;
Down from his breast the red blood gushed,
And o'er his face a glory rushed.
...
When for me this end has come and I am dead,
and the little voluble, chattering daws of men
peck at me curiously, let it then be said
...
Fair are the flowers and the children, but their subtle suggestion is fairer;
Rare is the rose-burst of dawn, but the secret that clasps it is
...
A dreaming Poet lay upon the ground,
He plucked the grasses with his listless hands.
No voice was near him save the wishful sound
...
