We stood there, looking at each other, saying nothing. But it was the kind of nothing that meant everything. In his eyes, there was no trace of what had happened between us earlier and I could feel something inside me break.So that was that. We were finally, finally over.I looked at him, and I felt so sad, because this thought occurred to me: 'I [...]

To the River Charles
River! that in silence windestThrough the meadows, bright and free,Till at length thy rest thou findestIn the bosom of the sea!Four long years of mingled feeling,Half in rest, and half in strife,I have seen thy waters stealingOnward, like the stream of life.Thou hast taught me, Silent River!Many a lesson, deep and long;Thou hast been a generous giver;I [...]

I stood upon the hills, when heaven's wide archWas glorious with the sun's returning march,And woods were brightened, and soft galesWent forth to kiss the sun-clad vales.The clouds were far beneath me; bathed in light,They gathered mid-way round the wooded height,And, in their fading glory, shoneLike hosts in battle overthrown.As many a pinnacle, [...]
The Light of Stars
The night is come, but not too soon;And sinking silently,All silently, the little moonDrops down behind the sky.There is no light in earth or heavenBut the cold light of stars;And the first watch of night is givenTo the red planet Mars.Is it the tender star of love?The star of love and dreams?O no! from that blue tent above,A hero's armor gleams.And [...]
