My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains my sense As though of hemlock I had drunk Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk: 'Tis not through envy of thy happy lot But being too happy in thy happiness That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees In some melodious plot Of beechen green, and shadows...Learn More

I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: 'Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things The hand that mocked them...Learn More

One more unfortunate Weary of breath Rashly importunate Gone to her death Take her up tenderly Lift her with care Fashion'd so slenderly Young, and so fair Look at her garments Clinging like cerements Whilst the wave constantly Drips from her clothing Take her up instantly Loving, not loathing Touch her not scornfully Think of her...Learn More

Oh, there is blessing in this gentle breeze A visitant that while it fans my cheek Doth seem half-conscious of the joy it brings From the green fields, and from yon azure sky Whate'er its mission, the soft breeze can come To none more grateful than to me Escaped from the vast city, where I long had pined A discontented sojourner: now free Free as...Learn More

Hush now little one The day has lost it's glow The night falls softly round The sandman's sleepy saws Sleep The stars will shine tonight High up in the sky The breeze will sing a song As he goes hurrying by Sleep For you the sun will rise For you the dawn will break Hush now, all is still Hush now till you wake Sleep Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh,...Learn More

She walks in beauty like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies One shade the more, one ray the less Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress Or softly lightens o'er her...Learn More
