Glee -- The great storm is over --

...Winter shake the Door --
Till the Children urge --
But the Forty --
Did they -- come back no more?

Then a softness -- suffuse the Story --
And a silence -- the Teller's eye --
And the Children -- no further question --
And only the Sea -- reply --...Read more of this...

Isles of Greece The

...thing, in the dearth of fame, 
Though linked among a fettered race,
To feel at least a patriot's shame,
Even as I sing, suffuse my face;
For what is left the poet here?
For Greeks a blush--for Greece a tear....

Fill high the bowl with Samian wine!
Our virgins dance beneath the shade--
I see their glorious black eyes shine;
But gazing on each glowing maid,
My own the burning teardrop laves,
To think such breasts must suckle slaves.

Place me on Sunium's marbled steep,
Where n...Read more of this...

Much Like Me

...n't stand there,
Dolefully hanging your head.
Easily about me remember,
Easily about me forget.

How rays of pure light suffuse you!
A golden dust wraps you round ...
And don't let it confuse you,
My voice from under the ground....Read more of this...

Song of Myself

...ing,
Scooting obliquely high and low. 

Something I cannot see puts upward libidinous prongs; 
Seas of bright juice suffuse heaven. 

The earth by the sky staid with—the daily close of their junction; 
The heav’d challenge from the east that moment over my head;
The mocking taunt, See then whether you shall be master!

Dazzling and tremendous, how quick the sun-rise would kill me, 
If I could not now and always send sun-rise out of me.

Wives in the Sere

...I 

Never a careworn wife but shows, 
 If a joy suffuse her, 
Something beautiful to those 
 Patient to peruse her, 
Some one charm the world unknows 
 Precious to a muser, 
Haply what, ere years were foes, 
 Moved her mate to choose her.

But, be it a hint of rose 
 That an instant hues her, 
Or some early light or pose 
 Wherewith thought renews her - 
Seen by him at full, ere woes
