The World Is Too Much With Us William Wordsworth
The world is too much with us; late and soon, Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers; Little we see in Nature that is ours; We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon! This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon; The winds that will be howling at all hours, And areContinue reading “The World Is Too Much With Us William Wordsworth”
In Rainy September * Poetry
In rainy September when leaves grow down to the dark I put my forehead down to the damp seaweed-smelling sand. What can we do but choose? The only way for human beings is to choose. The fern has no choice but to live; for this crime it receives earth water and night. we close theContinue reading “In Rainy September * Poetry”
As imperceptibly as Grief by Emily Dickinson- Say Goodbye to Summer
As imperceptibly as Grief The Summer lapsed away — Too imperceptible at last To seem like Perfidy — A Quietness distilled As Twilight long begun, Or Nature spending with herself Sequestered Afternoon — The Dusk drew earlier in — The Morning foreign shone — A courteous, yet harrowing Grace, As Guest, that would be goneContinue reading “As imperceptibly as Grief by Emily Dickinson- Say Goodbye to Summer”
The Human Seasons BY JOHN KEATS

November, 1806 *WILLIAM WORDSWORTH
Another year!another deadly blow! Another mighty Empire overthrown! And We are left, or shall be left, alone; The last that dare to struggle with the Foe. ‘Tis well! from this day forward we shall know That in ourselves our safety must be sought; That by our own right hands it must be wrought; That weContinue reading “November, 1806 *WILLIAM WORDSWORTH”
Sonnet 73 Autumn poetry from Shakespeare – That time of year thou mayst in me behold
That time of year thou mayst in me behold When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang Upon those boughs which shake against the cold, Bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
