Where the bronzed sailors go.

Where, if Heav'n would distil
A shower of rain, each several drop might go
To his own primrose, and grow manna so;

Make a terrestrial Galaxy,
As the small stars do in the sky:
I walk... (Read full poem)

A merry road, a... (Read full poem)

And the immortelles of perfect pitch
And that moment when the... (Read full poem)

Death is a road our dearest friends have gone;
Why with such leaders, fear to say, "Lead on?"

But turns in balm on the immortal side.
Mothers have passed it: fathers, children; men
Whose like we... (Read full poem)

On the other side of the road.
They crouch there, too, faltering in terror
And take strange wing. Many
Of the dead never moved, but... (Read full poem)
