1. Dew-drop and Diamond - written by Robert Graves
Read 809 times on Poetry Connection.

The difference between you and her
(whom I to you did once prefer)
Is clear enough to settle:
She like a diamond shone, but you
Shine like an early drop of dew
Poised on a red rose petal.

The dew-drop carries in its eye
Mountain and forest,... (Read full poem)

Read 3941 times on Poetry Connection.

We are the time. We are the famous
metaphor from Heraclitus the Obscure.

We are the water, not the hard diamond,
the one that is lost, not the one that stands still.

We are the river and we are that greek
that looks himself into the river.... (Read full poem)

A DIAMOND glow of winter o’er the world:
Amid the chilly halo nigh the west
Flickers a phantom violet bloom unfurled

Only phantasmal blooms but for an hour,
A transient beauty; then the white stars... (Read full poem)

From Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins. Read 892 times on Poetry Connection.

Cloud-puffball, torn tufts, tossed pillows ' flaunt forth, then chevy on an air-

Down roughcast, down dazzling whitewash, ' wherever an elm... (Read full poem)

ITS edges foamed with amethyst and rose,
Withers once more the old blue flower of day:
There where the ether like a diamond glows
    Its petals fade away.
 

A shadowy tumult stirs the dusky air;
Sparkle the delicate dews, the distant snows;
The... (Read full poem)

6. Sonnet IX - written by Edmund Spenser

LOng-while I sought to what I might compare
those powrefull eies, which lighte[n] my dark spright,

Not to the Sun: for they doo shine by night;
nor to the... (Read full poem)

Give me a golden pen, and let me lean
On heaped-up flowers, in regions clear, and far;
Bring me a tablet whiter than a star,
Or hand of hymning angel, when 'tis seen
The silver strings of heavenly harp atween:
And let there glide by many a pearly... (Read full poem)

8. Poetry - written by Don Paterson
From The White Lie; New and Selected Poetry. Published in 1993. Read 3984 times on Poetry Connection.

In the same way that the mindless diamond keeps
one spark of the planet's early fires
trapped forever in its net of ice,
it's not love's later heat that poetry holds,
but the atom of the love that drew it forth
from the silence: so if the bright... (Read full poem)

THE TWILIGHT fleeted away in pearl on the stream,
And night, like a diamond done, stood still in our dream.
Your eyes like burnished stones or as stars were bright
With the sudden vision that made us one with the night.
 

We loved in infinite... (Read full poem)

ONLY in my deep heart I love you, sweetest heart.

NOW the rooftree of the midnight spreading,
  Buds in citron, green, and blue:
From afar its mystic odours shedding,
      Child, on you.
 

Now the buried stars beneath the mountain
  And the vales their life renew,
Jetting rainbow blooms from tiny... (Read full poem)

WHO would think this quiet breather
From the world had taken flight?
Yet within the form we see there

He looked forth before his sleep:
Now he knows the starry races
Haunters of the... (Read full poem)

13. Sonnet XIII: Letters and Lines - written by Michael Drayton
Read 514 times on Poetry Connection.

To the Shadow

Letters and lines we see are soon defac'd, 
Metals do waste and fret with canker's rust, 
The diamond shall once consume to dust, 
And freshest colors with foul stains disgrac'd; 
Paper and ink can paint but naked words, 
To... (Read full poem)

THEY pass before me, these Eyes full of light, 
Eyes made magnetic by some angel wise; 
The holy brothers pass before my sight, 
And cast their diamond fires in my dim eyes. 
  
They keep me from all sin and error grave, 
They set me in the... (Read full poem)

WHY does this sudden passion smite me?
I stretch my hands, all blind to see:

    Lead me and set me free.
 

Something a moment seemed to stoop from
The night with cool, cool breath on my face:
Or did the... (Read full poem)

From The Spell of the Yukon and Other Verses. Read 801 times on Poetry Connection.

The lonely sunsets flare forlorn
    Down valleys dreadly desolate;
The lordly mountains soar in scorn
    As still as death, as stern as fate.

The lonely sunsets flame and die;
    The giant valleys gulp the night;
The monster mountains scrape the... (Read full poem)

17. Having Lost My Sons, I Confront The Wreckage Of The Moon: Christmas, 1960 - written by James Wright
Read 2191 times on Poetry Connection.

After dark
Near the South Dakota border,
The moon is out hunting, everywhere,
Delivering fire,
And walking down hallways
Of a diamond.

Behind a tree,
It ights on the ruins
Of a white city
Frost, frost.

Where are they gone
Who lived there?

Bundled... (Read full poem)

OH, the sudden wings arising from the ploughed fields brown
  Showered aloft in spray of song the wild-bird twitter floats
O’er the unseen fount awhile, and then comes dropping down
  Nigh the cool brown earth to hush enraptured notes.

WHO are exiles? As for me
Where beneath the diamond dome
Lies the light on hill or tree,
There my palace is and home.
 

Who are lonely lacking care?
Here the winds are living, press
Close on bosom, lips and hair—
Well I know their soft... (Read full poem)

Look at the stars! look, look up at the skies!
  O look at all the fire-folk sitting in the air!
  The bright boroughs, the circle-citadels there!
Down in dim woods the diamond delves! the elves'-eyes!
The grey lawns cold where gold, where quickgold... (Read full poem)

WE air tired who follow after
Phantasy and truth that flies:
You with only look and laughter
Stain our hearts with richest dyes.

Vanish all our frosty cares;
As the diamond deep grows ruddy,
Filled with morning... (Read full poem)

Could Fate ordain a lot for me
           Beyond all human ills,
I think that I would choose to be
           A shephard of the hills;
With shaggy cloak and cape where skies
           Eternally are blue
How I would stare with quiet eyes... (Read full poem)

A FRIENDLY mountain I know;
As I lie on the green slope there
It sets my heart in a glow
And closes the door on care.
 

A thought I try to frame—
I was with you long ago;
My soul from your heart out-came;
Mountain, is that not so?
 

Take me... (Read full poem)

I WHO had sought afar from earth
  The faery land to meet,
Now find content within its girth
  And wonder nigh my feet.
 

To-day a nearer love I choose
  And seek no distant sphere;
For aureoled by faery dews
  The dear brown breasts appear.... (Read full poem)

I saw her crop a rose
Right early in the day,
And I went to kiss the place
Where she broke the rose away
And I saw the patten rings
Where she o'er the stile had gone,
And I love all other things
Her bright eyes look upon.
If she looks upon the hedge... (Read full poem)
