Length : Text-only version Prev Index Next Your comments on this poem to attach to the end [ microfaq Margaritae Sorori A late lark twitters from the quiet skies: And from the west, Where the sun, his day's work ended, Lingers as in content, There falls on the old, gray city An influence luminous and serene, A shining peace. The smoke ascends In a rosy-and-golden haze. The spires Shine and are changed. In the valley Shadows rise. The lark sings on. The sun, Closing his benediction, Sinks, and the darkening air Thrills with a sense of the triumphing night Night with her train of stars And her great gift of sleep. So be my passing! My task accomplish'd and the long day done, My wages taken, and in my heart Some late lark singing, Let me be gather'd to the quiet west, The sundown splendid and serene, Death.

Invictus William Ernest Henley Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. Text Version Contents

Hester and Henry Thrale Double ballade of life and fate This ballad by - aside from being a well written pleasing read - makes reference to Hester Thrale's close relationship with Samuel Johnson. Fools may pine, and sots may swill, Cynics gibe, and prophets rail, Moralists may scourge and drill, Preachers prose, and fainthearts quail. Let them whine, or threat, or wail! Till the touch of Circumstance Down to darkness sink the scale, Fate's a fiddler, Life's a dance. What if skies be wan and chill? What if winds be harsh and stale? Presently the east will thrill, And the sad and shrunken sail, Bellying with a kindly gale, Bear you sunwards, while your chance Sends you back the hopeful hail:- 'Fate's a fiddler, Life's a dance.' Idle shot or coming bill, Hapless love or broken bail, Gulp it (never chew your pill!)

90. Poetry Of The Sea - O Falmouth Is A Fine Town O Falmouth Is a Fine Town by William Ernest. Henley, This is intriguing. WilliamErnest Henley (18491903) was a well-known poet, editor and critic. http://theworld.com/~dduncan/poetry/falmouth.html

RETURN to Index O Falmouth Is a Fine Town by William E[rnest]. Henley This is intriguing. William Ernest Henley (1849-1903) was a well-known poet, editor and critic. His best-known poem, at least to recent generations of American high-schoolers, is "Invictus". Therefore it's odd to find one of his poems which is also a folk-song "Ambletown", aka "Home, Dearie, Home" (although the name of the town is changed, and the sailor learns he is with child by letter). In fact, this was written in an Edinborough hospital in 1878 (published in Henley's "Book of Verses", 1888, and probably independently at an earlier date), and it was noted that "the burthen and the third stanza are old." These apparently are derived from either one of the versions of the song identified by Laws as "Rosemary Lane" (K 43) or a common ancestor. [For texts and tunes to several of these, search The Digital Tradition for (DT)"#319" or (Laws)"K43".]

The Victorian Sonnet Much poetry of the Victorian period is no longer very highly esteemed, for reasons that seem apparent after reading a number of sonnetsa sentimental self-indulgence and what F. R. Leavis called an "inferiority, in rigour and force, of intellectual content." Yet, when looked at individually, the poems are often graceful and moving, and their worst, most conventional excesses seem no more ridiculous than the stock courtly love sequences of the 16th and 17th centuries. Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861), who wrote Sonnets from the Portuguese to her husband ( Robert Browning (1812-1889)), is probably the most genuinely popular (and critically maligned) sonneteer of this period. Other British Victorian writers included here are Thomas Hood Charles Tennyson Turner (1808-1879), and his more famous brother, Alfred, Lord Tennyson Matthew Arnold (1822-1888), best known for "Dover Beach," wrote several sonnets. George Meredith (1828-1909) wrote a lengthy sequence, Modern Love , about the ruin of his marriage. Although the sequence consisted of rhymed sixteen-line iambic pentameter poems, ever since the poet and critic Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909) praised these poems as sonnets (and Meredith used the term himself in Sonnet 30 ), they have been widely accepted as specimens of the form. In addition to Meredith and Swinburne, the late 19th century
