That perches in the soul -

And sings the tune without the words -

And never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -

And sore must be the storm -

That could abash the little Bird

That kept so many warm -

I’ve heard it in the chillest land -

And on the strangest Sea -

Yet - never - in Extremity,

It asked a crumb - of me.

Great, hollow, bell-like flowers,
Rumbling in the wind,
Stretching clappers to strike our ears . . . Full-lipped flowers
Bitten by the sun
Bleeding rain
Dripping rain like golden honey—
And the sweet earth flying from the thunder. ]]> 2022-04-29 23:40:40 UTC https://padlet.com/snituama/62js9wybtx3174np/wish/2164968495 "The Eagle" by Alfred Lord Tennyson snituama https://padlet.com/snituama/62js9wybtx3174np/wish/2164969858 He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ringed with the azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls. ]]> 2022-04-29 23:44:11 UTC https://padlet.com/snituama/62js9wybtx3174np/wish/2164969858 "Fog" by Carl Sandburg snituama https://padlet.com/snituama/62js9wybtx3174np/wish/2164973757 The fog comes on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on. ]]> 2022-04-29 23:53:21 UTC https://padlet.com/snituama/62js9wybtx3174np/wish/2164973757 "The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus snituama https://padlet.com/snituama/62js9wybtx3174np/wish/2164976351 Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” ]]> 2022-04-29 23:59:24 UTC https://padlet.com/snituama/62js9wybtx3174np/wish/2164976351 "Sea Charm" by Langston Hughes snituama https://padlet.com/snituama/62js9wybtx3174np/wish/2164977376 Sea charm
The sea’s own children
Do not understand.
They know
But that the sea is strong
Like God’s hand.
They know
But that sea wind is sweet
Like God’s breath,
And that the sea holds
A wide, deep death ]]> 2022-04-30 00:01:49 UTC https://padlet.com/snituama/62js9wybtx3174np/wish/2164977376 "Tanka (I)" by Sadakichi Hartmann snituama https://padlet.com/snituama/62js9wybtx3174np/wish/2164978403 Winter? Spring? Who knows?
White buds from the plumtrees wing
And mingle with the snows.
No blue skies these flowers bring,
Yet their fragrance augurs Spring. ]]> 2022-04-30 00:04:16 UTC https://padlet.com/snituama/62js9wybtx3174np/wish/2164978403 "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost snituama https://padlet.com/snituama/62js9wybtx3174np/wish/2164979688 Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep. ]]> 2022-04-30 00:07:25 UTC https://padlet.com/snituama/62js9wybtx3174np/wish/2164979688 "Life" by Paul Laurence Dunbar snituama https://padlet.com/snituama/62js9wybtx3174np/wish/2164984962 A crust of bread and a corner to sleep in,
A minute to smile and an hour to weep in,
A pint of joy to a peck of trouble,
And never a laugh but the moans come double;
And that is life!
A crust and a corner that love makes precious,
With a smile to warm and the tears to refresh us;
And joy seems sweeter when cares come after,
And a moan is the finest of foils for laughter;
And that is life! ]]> 2022-04-30 00:19:25 UTC https://padlet.com/snituama/62js9wybtx3174np/wish/2164984962 "Moonrise" by H.D. snituama https://padlet.com/snituama/62js9wybtx3174np/wish/2164987426 Will you glimmer on the sea?
Will you fling your spear-head
On the shore?
What note shall we pitch?

We have a song,
On the bank we share our arrows—
The loosed string tells our note:

O flight,
Bring her swiftly to our song.
She is great,
We measure her by the pine-trees. ]]> 2022-04-30 00:24:40 UTC https://padlet.com/snituama/62js9wybtx3174np/wish/2164987426
