Though the moonshine mostly keep us,
Oft in orchards frisk and peep us.
Stolen sweets are always sweeter,
Stolen kisses much completer,
Stolen looks are nice in chapels,
Stolen, stolen, be your apples.
When to bed the world are bobbing,
Then’s the time for orchard-robbing;
Yet the fruit were scarce worth peeling,
Were it not for stealing, stealing.

It flows through old hushed Egypt and its sands,
And times and things, as in that vision, seemKeeping along it their eternal stands,–Caves, pillars, pyramids, the shepherd bandsThat roamed through the young world, the glory extremeOf high Sesostris, and that southern beam,The laughing queen that caught the world’s great hands.Then comes a mightier silence, stern and strong,As of a world left empty of its…

It is a lofty feeling, yet a kind,
Of honour-shaded thought,– an influenceAs from great nature’s fingers, and be twinedWith her old, sacred, verdurous ivy-bind,As though she hallowed with that sylvan fenceA head that bows to her benevolence,Midst pomp of fancied trumpets in the wind.It is what’s within us crowned. And kind and greatAre all the conquering wishes it inspires,Love of things lasting,…
SLEEP breathes at last from out thee,
And balmy rest about theeSmooths off the day’s annoy.I sit me down, and thinkOf all thy winning ways;Yet almost wish, with sudden shrink,That I had less to praise.Thy sidelong pillowed meekness;Thy thanks to all that aid;Thy heart, in pain and weakness,Of fancied faults afraid;The little trembling handThat wipes thy quiet tears,—These, these are things that…
Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase!)
And saw, within the moonlight in his room,Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom,An angel writing in a book of gold:—Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold,And to the Presence in the room he said‘What writest thou?’—The vision raised its head,And with a look made of all sweet accord,Answered ‘The names of those…
