A Farewell

A Farewell

Flow down,cold rivulet,to the sea,
Thy tribute wave deliver:
No more by thee my steps shall be,
For ever and for ever.
Flow, softly flow,by lawn and lea,
A rivulet then a river:
No where by thee my steps shall be
for ever and for ever.
But here will sigh thine alder tree
And here thine aspen shiver;
And here by thee will hum the bee,
For ever and for ever.
A thousand suns will stream on thee,
A thousand moons will quiver;
But not by thee my steps shall be,
For ever and for ever.
-Tennyson

Come not when I am dead

Come not when I am dead Come not,when I am dead, To drop thy foolish tears upon my grave, To trample round my fallen head, And vex the unhappy dust thou woudst not save. There let the wind sweep and plover cry; But thou,go by Child,if it were thine error or thy crime I care no longer,being all unblest; Wed whom thou will,but I am sick of Time, And I desire to rest. Pass on,weak heart,and leave to where I lie: Go by,go by. -Tennyson

Ask me no more

Ask me no more Ask me no more:the moon may draw the sea; The clouds may stoop from heaven and take the shape, with fold to fold,of mountain or,of cape; But O too fold,when have I answer'd thee? Ask me no more, Ask me no more:what answe should I give? I love not hollow cheek or faded eye, Yet O my friend,I will not have thee die! Ask me no more;legt I should bid thee live; Ask me no more. Ask me no more;thy fate and mine are seal'd: I strove against the stream and all in vain; Let the great river take me to the main: No more,dear love,for at a touch I yield; Ask me no more.  -Tennyson

Beautiful city

Beautiful city Beautiful city,the centre and crater of European confusion, O you with your passsionate shriek for the rights of an equal humanity, How often your Re-evolution has proven but E -volution Roll^€™d again back on itself in the tides of civic insanity! -Tennyson
