I feel
Very much
Like taking
Its unholy perpetrators
By the hair
Of their heads
(If they have any hair)
And dragging them around
A few times,
And then cutting them
Into small, irregular pieces
And burying them
In the depths of the blue sea.
They are without form
And void,/ Or at least
The stuff they/ produce
Is./ They are too lazy
To hunt up rhymes;
And that
Is all
That is the matter with them.

Last night a pale young Moon was wed
Her maiden veil of mist she woreHis kingly purple vesture, he.With her a bridal train of starsWalked sisterly through shadows dim,And, master minstrel of the world,The great Wind sang the marriage hymn.Thus came she down the silent skyUnto the Sea her faith to plight,And the grave priest who wedded themWas ancient, sombre-mantled Night.
Lo! a ripe sheaf of many golden days
With here and there, blood-tinted as an ember,Some crimson poppy of a late delightAtoning in its splendor for the flightOf summer blooms and joysÂThis is September.
Wrapped was the world in slumber deep,
And bright and blest were the dreams of its sleep;All the hours of that wonderful night-tide throughThe stars outblossomed in fields of blue,A heavenly chaplet, to diademThe King in the manger of Bethlehem.Out on the hills the shepherds lay,Wakeful, that never a lamb might stray,Humble and clean of heart were they;Thus it was given them…
