JohnMcDonald15: Thomas Lovell Beddoes: Dirge (”If Thou…”)
If thou wilt ease thine heart
Of love and all its smart,
Then sleep, dear, sleep;
And not a sorrow
Hang any tear on your eyelashes;
Lie still and deep,
Sad soul, until the sea-wave washes
The rim o’ the sun to-morrow,
linkdniel: If there were dreams to sell,
What would you buy?
Some cost a passing bell;
Some a light sigh,
That shakes from Life's fresh crown
Only a rose-leaf down.
If there were dreams to sell,
Merry and sad to tell,
And the crier rang the bell,
What would you buy?
— Thomas Lovell Beddoes

“Death’s Jest Book”- Thomas Lovell Beddoes
WebKaese: “Little and grisly, or bony and big,
White, and clattering, grassy and yellow;
The partners are waiting, so strike up a jig,
Dance and be merry, for Death’s a droll fellow.
Where’s Death and his sweetheart? We want to begin."
Aus "Death’s Jest-Book" von Thomas Lovell Beddoes
SenayS10: Let us drink then, my raven of Cairo.
Is that the wind dying? O no;
It's only two devils, that blow
Through a murderer's bones, to and fro,
In the ghosts' moonshine.

cowboycoleridge: Each in his own charms,
Death and Hymen both are here;
So up with scythe and torch,
And to the old church porch,
While all the bells ring clear:
And rosy, rosy the bed shall bloom,
And earthy, earthy heap up the tomb.

In the moonlight, in the shade
Of the yew-tree. They that pass
Hear us not. We are afraid
They would envy our delight,
In our graves by glow-worm night.'

JohnMcDonald15: Thomas Lovell Beddoes (1803-1849)
Macabre poet nearly contemporary with Poe. I usually bring him out on Holloween.
I think there is only one portrait of him & it is very inadequate.

Of the chaotic past, shall placea stone

LivesPoetry: On this day 26th January 2021
Thomas Lovell Beddoes’ obsession with death
ByDavidSlattery: By heaven and hell, and all the fools between them,
I will not die, nor sleep, nor wink my eyes,
But think myself into a god; old Death
Shall dream he has slain me, and I'll creep behind him,
And beat him into dust.

macleod_miss: January 20th is a short but sweet one by Thomas Lovell Beddoes. I'd never heard of Beddoes but after researching him I'm surprised that the poem is as positive as it is given his tragic life. This just goes to prove that you can never guess what's going on in someone's head.
