1914 V: The Soldier

by Rupert Brooke

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,

Please Mrs Butler

by Allan Ahlberg

Please Mrs Butler
This boy Derek Drew

Do whatever you think.

Hymn To Pan

by Aleister Crowley

Thrill with lissome lust of the light,
O man ! My man !

between vale and peak,
my father came down to me

a burgundy bloom
sunset colored deepest red
a bright day garden

Lost in Greenery

by Evelyn Judy Buehler

I was lost in exotic lush greenery,
And quite lost in my deep thoughts,
Yet aware of the blossoming scenery,
Of riverbank stones slimy with moss.

I was lost in woods, nature's heart,
Gone green out of civilized society,
Off to myself, amidst natural arts,
Along an obscure pathway of quietly.

My Clematis

by Evelyn Judy Buehler

a trellis cascade
creeping beauty on the fence
in pink white or red

my purple climber
been around, going somewhere
new as morning dew

pretty whites and blues
happy on my garden wall
