E. J. Pratt Face Poems

  • 1.
    Perched on a dead volcanic pile,
    Now charted as a submerged peak,
    Near to a moon-washed coral isle,
    A hundred leagues from Mozambique,
    ...
  • 2.
    Now it was clear to every Shade
    That some great wonder was before them,
    As Tom upon the palisade
    Emptied, as fast as Lulu bore them,
    ...
  • 3.
    Time-morning

    A scurry of feet with a roar overhead;
    The master-watch wildly pointing to Northward,
    Where the herd in front of The Eagle was spread!
    ...
  • 5.
    The rust of hours,
    Through a year of days,
    Has dulled the edge of the pain;
    But at night
    ...
  • 6.
    Comes not the springtime here,
    Though the snowdrop came,
    And the time of the cowslip is near,
    For a yellow flame
    ...

Emily Dickinson Poem
Split the Lark—and you'll find the Music
 by Emily Dickinson

861

Split the Lark—and you'll find the Music—
Bulb after Bulb, in Silver rolled—
Scantilly dealt to the Summer Morning
Saved for your Ear when Lutes be old.

Loose the Flood—you shall find it patent—
