MORNING.

Full many a glorious morning have I seen
Flatter the mountain tops with sovereign eye,
Kissing with golden face the meadows green,
Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy.
Anon permit the basest clouds to ride
With ugly rack on his celestial face,
And from the forlorn world his visage hide,
Stealing unseen to West with his disgrace.

TEST OF LOVE.

SHAKSPERE.

Loves she? She loves not; she hath never loved.
Her walk is easy; her discourse is neat:

She sigheth not; her smile has mirth in it:
Her gaze is firm, untroubled, cloudless, cold:
No fear makes pale her cheek: No hopeless pain
Lies there; nor hope, half-hidden: No sweet trouble
Stains it with beauty like the rose's leaf:-
But all is free as air, as fresh as youth,

As clear from care as untouch'd innocence.

UNITY OF LOVE.

BARRY CORNWALL.

Spirit within two frames, oh! wherefore two?
One passion in twin-hearts, which grows and grew
Till like two meteors of expanding flame,
Those spheres instinct with it become the same,
Touch, mingle, are transfigured; ever still
Burning, yet ever inconsumable:

In one another's substance finding food,
Like flames too pure and light and unimbued
To nourish their bright lives with baser prey,
Which point to heaven and cannot pass away:
One hope within two wills, one will beneath
Two overshadowing minds, one life, one death,
One heaven, one hell, one immortality.

SHELLEY.

BOOKS.

Worthy books

Are not companions-they are solitudes;
We lose ourselves in them and all our cares.

BAILEY.

THE HOUR WHEN WE SHALL MEET AGAIN.

Composed during Illness and in Absence.

Dim hour! that sleep'st on pillowing clouds afar,
O rise, and yoke the turtles to thy car!
Bend o'er the traces, blame each lingering dove,
And give me to the bosom of my love,
My gentle love, caressing and caress'd,
With heaving heart shall cradle me to rest;
Shed the warm tear-drop from her smiling eyes,
Lull, with fond woe, and medicine me with sighs.
COLERIDGE.

THE MOON.

I am fain

To feed upon the beauty of the moon!
Sorrowful moon! seeming so drown'd in woe;
A queen, whom some grand battle-day has left
Unkingdom'd and a widow, while the stars,
Thy handmaidens, are standing back in awe,
Gazing in silence on thy mighty grief!
All men have loved thee for thy beauty, moon!
Adam has turn'd from Eve's fair face to thine,
And drank thy beauty with his serene eyes.

PASSIONATE GRIEF.

ALEXANDER SMITH.

No lady's ghost

Did ever cling with such a grasp of love
Unto its soft dear body, as I hung
Rooted upon this brother. I went forth
Joyfully, as the soul of one who closes
His pillow'd eye beside an unseen murderer,
And like its horrible return was mine

To find the heart, wherein I breathed and beat,
Cold, gash'd, and dead. Let me forget to love,
And take a heart of venom: let me make
A stair-case of the frighten'd breasts of men,
And climb into a lonely happiness!
