That taking is but the forerunner of giving;
That strangers are friends that we some day may meet,
And not all the bitter can equal the sweet

The full round moon and the star-laden sky,
And the loud song of the ever-singing leaves,
Had hid away earth’s old and weary cry .

plantingtheoar: A pity beyond all telling
Is hid in the heart of love:
The folk who are buying & selling,
The clouds on their journey above,
The cold wet winds ever blowing,
And the shadowy hazel grove
Where the mouse-grey waters are flowing,
Threaten the head that I love.

always0nny: O CLOUD-PALE eyelids, dream-dimmed eyes,
The poets labouring all their days
To build a perfect beauty in rhyme
Are overthrown by a woman's gaze
And by the unlabouring brood of the skies:

Is dropping sleep, until God burn time,
Before the unlabouring stars and you.
