ECSTASY
Only a burst of sunlight,
To shine trough a budding tree,
Only leaf-stars on the noontide blue,
Yet a thrill of ecstasy!
And this is the spell works such wonders
The eyes of two that see
Only the fire-light flicker
On our plain green walls at play
Only a burst of sunlight,
To shine trough a budding tree,
Only leaf-stars on the noontide blue,
Yet a thrill of ecstasy!
Only a burst of sunlight,
To shine trough a budding tree,
Only leaf-stars on the noontide blue,
Yet a thrill of ecstasy!
(Lucy C. Smith)

APPLE TREE
My heart is like a singing bird Whose nest is (-) in a water’d shoot My heart is like an apple-tree Whose boughs are bent with thick-set fruit
My heart is like a rainbow shell That paddles in a halcyon sea My heart (…) is gladder than all these Because my love (…) is come (..) to me
My heart is like a singing bird Whose nest is in a water’d shoot My heart is like an apple-tree Whose boughs are bent with thick-set fruit
(Christina Rossetti)

IF YOU WERE MINE
If you were mine The day would dawn If you were mine The stars would shine The sun would set, the moon arise
If you were mine, If you were mine baby
If you were mine
If you were mine I should not fear If you were mine The warnings of the raining year
If you were mine, If you were mine baby
Uhh babe
If you were mine, How then should I If you were mine The sunshine of departed days
If you were mine, If you were mine baby
If you were mine
If you were mine It would be always summer

PASSION SOUL
How will the foam of enchantment be
And the promised pomp?
The warm yellow of vaporous afternoons,
And your tacit silence
Those summer songs that rhymed,
And the soul with a sure passion,
The fall always comes like lightning
Like an arrow.
But I still have this rock craved in victory
How will the fountain of comfort be,
And the ultimate universal truth.
The warm yellow of vaporous afternoons,
And your quiet face from days passed.
Those summer songs that rhymed,
And the soul with a sure passion,
The fall comes like lightning
Like an arrow.
But I still have this rock craved in victory
(Alexandre Simões)

A SCRAWL
I want to sing something but this is all
I try and I try, but the rhymes are dull
As thought they were damp, and the echoes fall
Limp and unlovable.
Words will not say what I yearn to say
They will not walk as I want them to
But they stumble and fall in the path of the way
Of my telling my love for you
Simply take what the scrawl is worth
Knowing I love you as sun the sod
On the ripening side of the great round earth
That swings in the smile of God
(James Whitcomb Riley)

EXULTATION IS THE GOING

EXULTATION IS THE GOING
Exultation is the going
Of an Inland soul to sea,
Past the houses – past the headlands –
Into deep Eternity –
Bred as we, among the mountains,
Can the sailor Understand
The divine intoxication
Of the first league out from land?
As far from pity, as complaint –
As cool to speech – as stone –
As numb to Revelation
As if my Trade were Bone –
As far from Time – as History –
As near yourself – Today –
As Children, to the Rainbow's scarf -
Or Sunset’s Yellow play
(Emily Dickinson)

NATURE MORE
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar,
I love not man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe,
and feel What I can ne’er express, yet cannot all
conceal.
(Lord Byron)

I WANT YOU
Immense sea
Of an old dream
Absent fear of separation
I’m afraid to say:
“I want you!
Do not talk – Let her talk”
Disappear in a new day
Renew or wait
Listen to nature’s scream
(FLAPI)
