Henry David Thoreau Night Poems

  • 1.
    Pray to what earth does this sweet cold belong,
    Which asks no duties and no conscience?
    The moon goes up by leaps, her cheerful path
    In some far summer stratum of the sky,
    ...
  • 2.
    Time wears her not; she doth his chariot guide;
    Mortality below her orb is placed.
    --Raleigh

    ...
  • 3.
    ALL things are current found
    On earthly ground,
    Spirits and elements
    Have their descents.
    ...
  • 4.
    LIGHT-WINGED Smoke, Icarian bird,
    Melting thy pinions in thy upward flight,
    Lark without song, and the messenger of dawn,
    Circling above the hamlets as thy nest;
    ...
  • 5.
    Packed in my mind lie all the clothes
    Which outward nature wears,
    And in its fashion's hourly change
    It all things else repairs.
    ...
  • 6.
    Light-winged Smoke, Icarian bird,
    Melting thy pinions in thy upward flight,
    Lark without song, and messenger of dawn
    Circling above the hamlets as they nest;
    ...
  • 7.
    Let such pure hate still underprop
    Our love, that we may be
    Each other's conscience,
    And have our sympathy
    ...
  • 8.
    Mine are the night and morning,
    The pits of air, the gull of space,
    The sportive sun, the gibbous moon,
    The innumerable days.
    ...

Edgar Albert Guest Poem
The Killing Place
 by Edgar Albert Guest

We're hiking along at a two-forty pace
We 're making life seem like a man-killing race,
With our nerves all on edge and our jaws firmly set
We go rushing along; with our brows lined with sweat
And our cheeks pale and drawn every minute we dash,
And the goal that we 're after is merely more cash.

We 're out for the money, the greenbacks and gold,
