Michael: A Pastoral Poem

Your feet must struggle; in such bold ascent

It cost me, what with my daft management,

And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.

And the sweet mint, because I had come

Venus And Adonis
Even as the sun with purple-coloured face
Had ta'en his last leave of the weeping morn,
Rose-cheeked Adonis hied him to the chase;
Hunting he loved, but love he laughed to scorn.

Sitting as huge as Asia, seismic with laughter,
Gin and chicken helpless in her Irish hand,

Snow
The three stood listening to a fresh access
Of wind that caught against the house a moment,
Gulped snow, and then blew free again-the Coles
Dressed, but dishevelled from some hours of sleep,

Robert Frost
Absalom And Achitophel

When man, on many, multipli'd his kind,
Ere one to one was cursedly confin'd:

the Trojans advanced as a flight of wild fowl or cranes that scream
overhead when rain and winter drive them over the flowing waters of
Oceanus to bring death and destruction on the Pygmies, and they

The Joy Of A Dog
Ma says no, it's too much care
An' it will scatter germs an' hair,
An' it's a nuisance through and through.
An' barks when you don't want it to;

I
Clay is the word and clay is the flesh
Where the potato-gatherers like mechanised scarecrows move
Along the side-fall of the hill - Maguire and his men.

When my dog died there, after

Flowered twice, pulling it by its

The shingle booms, bickering under

Snowcakes break and welter. This year

Still by the gateway flits the gown;

Kylemore Of Niks
Generasies wat was, was en wat is sal spoedig ook nie meer wees nie,

The Low-down White
This is the pay-day up at the mines, when the bearded brutes come down;

With a haggard face and a ribband of red entwined in her hair of brown.
