Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day

(Sonnet 18) 

by William Shakespeare 

1- Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day? 

Thou art more lovely and more temperate: 

 Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And Summer's lease hath all too short a date:

5- Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, 

And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; 

And every fair1 from fair sometime declines,

By chance or nature's changing course 

untrimm'd: 2

9- But thy eternal Summer shall not fade 

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,

Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade, 

When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st: 

13-So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, 

 So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. 

1. fair - beauty

2. untrimm'd - stripped of beauty 

3. thou ow'st - you own or possess

The Bells

by Edgar Allan Poe 

I.

Hear the sledges with the bells -

Silver bells!

What a world of merriment their melody

foretells!

How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,

In the icy air of night!

While the stars that

oversprinkle

All the heavens, seem to twinkle

With a crystalline delight;

Keeping time, time, time,

In a sort of Runic rhyme,

To the tintinabulation that so

musically wells

From the bells, bells, bells, bells,

        Bells, bells, bells- of the bells.

   From the jingling and tinkling

of the bells.

 

 

Fragmentary Blue

by Robert Frost

Why make so much of fragmentary blue

In here and there a bird, or butterfly,

Or flower, or wearing-stone, or open eye,

When heaven presents in sheets the solid hue

 

Since earth is earth, perhaps, not heaven (as yet) - Though some savants make earth include the sky;

And blue so far above us comes so high,

It only gives our wish for blue a whet.

 

by Emily Dickinson

"Hope" is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul

And sings the tune without the words

And never stops at all

 

And sweetest in the Gale is heard

And sore must be the storm -

That could abash the little Bird

That kept so many warm -

 

I've heard it in the chillest land -

And on the strangest Sea -

Yet, never, in Extremity,

It asked a crumb - of Me.

 

by Robert Frost

Theres a patch of old snow in a corner

That I should have guessed

Was a blow anay paper the rain

Had brought to rest.

 

It is speckled with grime as if

Small print overspread it.

The news of a day I ve forgotten --

If l ever read it.
