Go, Lovely Rose! By Edmund Waller
Go, lovely Rose!
Tell her that wastes her time and me,That now she knows, When I resemble her to thee,How sweet and fair she seems to be.
Tell her that's young,And shuns to have her gracies spied,That hadst thou sprung In deserts, where no men abide, Thou must have uncommended died.
Small is the worth Of beauty from the light retired; Bid her come forth, Suffer herself to be desired, And not blush so to be admired.
Then die! that she The common fate of all things rare May read in thee; How small a part of time they share tha are so wondrous sweet and fair! |

The Negro Speaks of Rivers By Langston Hughes
I've known rivers:
I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than theflow of human blood in veins.
My soul has grown deep like the rivers.
I bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young.
I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep.
I looked upon the Nile and raised the pyramids above it.
I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln went down to New Orleans, and I've seen it's muddy bosom turn all golden in the sunset. |
