Song
by Rupert Brooke
All suddenly the wind comes soft
And Spring is here again
And the hawthorn quickens with buds of green
And my heart with buds of pain
My heart all Winter lay so numb
The earth so dead and frore
That I never thought the Spring would come
Or my heart wake any more
But Winter's broken and earth has woken
And the small birds cry again
And the hawthorn hedge puts forth its buds
And my heart puts forth its pain

The Shepherd's Tree
by John Clare
Huge elm, with rifted trunk all notched and scarred,
Like to a warrior's destiny! I love
To stretch me often on thy shadowed sward,
And hear the laugh of summer leaves above;
Or on thy buttressed roots to sit, and lean
In careless attitude, and there reflect
On times and deeds and darings that have been -
Old castaways, now swallowed in neglect, -
While thou art towering in thy strength of heart,
Stirring the soul to vain imaginings
In which life's sordid being hath no part.
The wind of that eternal ditty sings,
Humming of future things, that burn the mind
To leave some fragment of itself behind.
