Rose Hawthorne Lathrop Silent Poems

  • 1.
    Why is the nameless sorrowing look
    So often thought a whim?
    God-willed, the willow shades the brook,
    The gray owl sings a hymn;
    ...
  • 2.
    Time and I pass to and fro,
    Hardly greeting as we go, -
    Go askant, like crossing wings
    Of sea-gulls where the brave sea sings.
    ...
  • 3.
    There in the midst of gloom the church-spire rose,
    And not a star lit any side of heaven;
    In glades not far the damp reeds coldly touched
    Their sides, like soldiers dead before they fall;
    ...

    Gathering violets near the woods,
    Whose coy young petals half unfurl
    The mystery of their dulcet moods.

    Where moods roll swiftly far and wide;
    Waves sadder than a funeral's pride,
    Or bluer than the harebell's blow!
    ...
  • 9.

Charles Baudelaire Poem
Spleen I
 by Charles Baudelaire

Pluviôse, irrité contre la ville entière,
De son urne à grands flots verse un froid ténébreux
Aux pâles habitants du voisin cimetière
Et la mortalité sur les faubourgs brumeux.

Mon chat sur le carreau cherchant une litière
Agite sans repos son corps maigre et galeux;
L'âme d'un vieux poète erre dans la gouttière
