Greener Days

Nice, I enjoyed reading your poem. I didn't completely understand it but that's just me.

Greensleeves is my heart of gold
Greensleeves is my delight
Greensleeves is all my joy
And who but Lady Greensleeves

Appreciated!! Lady Greensleeves is the world to me, o + x! &&

Wrap your rhyme around her soldier wrap your rhyme around her &&

My Luve is like a red, red rose,
That’s newly sprung in June:
My Luve is like the melodie,
That’s sweetly play’d in tune.

R.B.

Saw you shining in the sun this morning
Saw you shining in the moon at night
Saw you shining in the sun this morning
Saw you shining in the starry night

Ancient of days, ancient of days ancient of days

Saw you standing by the winding river
Saw you standing by the shining stream
Felt you stirring in my heart this morning
Felt you moving in my heart at night

Ancient of days, ancient of days ancient of days

My Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie lies over the sea
My Bonnie lies over the ocean
Oh bring back my Bonnie to me

James Stephens

As lily grows up easily,
In modest, gentle dignity
To sweet perfection,
So grew she,
As easily.

Or as the rose that takes no care
Will open out on sunny air
Bloom after bloom, fair after fair,
Sweet after sweet ;
Just so did she,
As carelessly.

She is our torment without end,
She is our enemy and friend,
Our joy, our woe ;

And she will send
Madness or glee
To you and me,
And endlessly.

Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;
She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
But I, being young and foolish, with her did not agree.

In a field by the river my love and I did stand,
And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.
She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;
But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.

WB Yeats

Shakespeare
&

O mistress mine, where are you roaming?
O stay and hear; your true love's coming,
That can sing both high and low.
Trip no further, pretty sweeting;
Journeys end in lovers' meeting,
Every wise man's son doth know.

What is love? 'Tis not hereafter;
Present mirth hath present laughter;
What's to come is still unsure.
In delay there lies no plenty;
Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty;
Youth's a stuff will not endure.

Look away, you rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri

I long to see your smiling valley
Far away, you rolling river
I long to see your smiling valley
Far away, you rolling river

Now the Missouri is a mighty river
Look away, you rollin' river
Indians camp along her border
Look away we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Well a white man loved an Indian maiden
Look away, you rollin' river
With stores his canoe was laden
Look away we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Look away, you rollin' river
It was for her I'd cross the water
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri!

Oh Shenandoah, I'll not forget you
I'll dream of your clear waters
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri!

Spring is like a perhaps hand
( which comes carefully
out of Nowhere ) arranging
a window,into which people look( while
people stare
arranging and changing and placing
carefully there a strange
thing and a known thing here )and

changing everything carefully

spring is like a perhaps
Hand in a window
( carefully to
and fro moving New and
Old things,while
people stare carefully
moving a perhaps
fraction of flower here placing
an inch of air there )and

without breaking anything.
