Let the bird of loudest lay On the sole Arabian tree, Herald sad and trumpet be, To whose sound chaste wings obey. But thou shrieking harbinger, Foul precurrer of the fiend, Augur of the fever’s end, To this troop come thou not near. From this session interdict Every fowl of tyrant wing Save the eagle, feather’d king: Keep the obsequy so strict. Let the priest in surplice white That defunctive music can, Be the death-divining swan, Lest the requiem lack his right. And thou, treble-dated crow, That thy sable gender mak’st With the breath thou giv’st and tak’st, ‘Mongst our mourners shalt thou go. Here the anthem doth commence:— Love and constancy is dead; Phoenix and the turtle fled In a mutual flame from hence. So they loved, as love in twain Had the essence but in one; Two distincts, division none; Number there in love was slain. Hearts remote, yet not asunder; Distance, and no space was seen ‘Twixt the turtle and his queen: But in them it were a wonder. So between them love did shine, That the turtle saw his right Flaming in the phoenix’ sight; Either was the other’s mine. Property was thus appall’d, That the self was not the same; Single nature’s double name Neither two nor one was call’d. Reason, in itself confounded, Saw division grow together; To themselves yet either neither; Simple were so well compounded, That it cried, ‘How true a twain Seemeth this concordant one! Love hath reason, reason none If what parts can so remain.’ Whereupon it made this threne To the phoenix and the dove, Co-supremes and stars of love, As chorus to their tragic scene. THRENOS Beauty, truth, and rarity, Grace in all simplicity, Here enclosed in cinders lie. Death is now the phoenix’ nest; And the turtle’s loyal breast To eternity doth rest, Leaving no posterity: ’Twas not their infirmity, It was married chastity. Truth may seem, but cannot be; Beauty brag, but ’tis not she; Truth and beauty buried be. To this urn let those repair That are either true or fair; For these dead birds sigh a prayer.

Gangsta Poet III Thank You
ON TURNING ONE DOWN WITH THE PLOUGH, IN APRIL, 1786 Wee, modest, crimson-tipped flow’r, Thou’s met me in an evil hour; For I maun crush amang the stoure Thy slender stem: To spare thee now is past my pow’r, Thou bonie gem. Alas! it’s no thy neebor sweet, The bonie lark, companion meet, Bending thee ‘mang the dewy weet, Wi’ spreckled breast! When upward-springing, blithe, to greet The purpling east. Cauld blew the bitter-biting north Upon thy early, humble birth; Yet cheerfully thou glinted forth Amid the storm, Scarce reared above the parent-earth Thy tender form. The flaunting flow’rs our gardens yield, High shelt’ring woods and wa’s maun shield; But thou, beneath the random bield O’ clod or stane, Adorns the histie stibble-field, Unseen, alane. There, in thy scanty mantle clad, Thy snawy ***** sunward spread, Thou lifts thy unassuming head In humble guise; But now the share uptears thy bed, And low thou lies! Such is the fate of artless Maid, Sweet flow’ret of the rural shade! By love’s simplicity betrayed, And guileless trust, Till she, like thee, all soiled, is laid Low i’ the dust. Such is the fate of simple Bard, On Life’s rough ocean luckless starred! Unskilful he to note the card Of prudent lore, Till billows rage, and gales blow hard, And whelm him o’er! Such fate to suffering worth is giv’n, Who long with wants and woes has striv’n, By human pride or cunning driv’n To mis’ry’s brink, Till wrenched of ev’ry stay but Heav’n, He, ruined, sink! Ev’n thou who mourn’st the Daisy’s fate, That fate is thine -no distant date; Stern Ruin’s ploughshare drives, elate, Full on thy bloom, Till crushed beneath the furrow’s weight, Shall be thy doom!

Gen. Lees invasion of the North written by himself— In eighteen sixty three, with pomp, and mighty swell, Me and Jeff’s Confederacy, went forth to sack Phil-del, The Yankees the got arter us, and giv us particular hell, And we skedaddled back again, And didn’t sack Phil-del.

Verse On Lee’s Invasion Of The North
I wonder what those lovers mean, who say They have giv’n their hearts away. Some good kind lover tell me how; For mine is but a torment to me now. If so it be one place both hearts contain, For what do they complain? What courtesy can Love do more, Than to join hearts that parted were before? Woe to her stubborn heart, if once mine come Into the self-same room; ’Twill tear and blow up all within, Like a granado shot into a magazine. Then shall Love keep the ashes, and torn parts, Of both our broken hearts: Shall out of both one new one make, From hers, th’ allay; from mine, the metal take. For of her heart he from the flames will find But little left behind: Mine only will remain entire; No dross was there, to perish in the fire.

The Given Heart
Though frost and snow lock’d from mine eyes That beauty which without door lies, Thy gardens, orchards, walks, that so I might not all thy pleasures know, Yet, thou within thy gate Art of thyself so delicate, So full of native sweets, that bless Thy roof with inward happiness, As neither from nor to thy store Winter takes aught, or spring adds more. The cold and frozen air had starv’d Much poor, if not by thee preserv’d, Whose prayers have made thy table blest With plenty, far above the rest. The season hardly did afford Coarse cates unto thy neighbors’ board, Yet thou hadst dainties, as the sky Had only been thy volary; Or else the birds, fearing the snow Might to another Deluge grow, The pheasant, partridge, and the lark Flew to thy house, as to the Ark. The willing ox of himself came Home to the slaughter, with the lamb, And every beast did thither bring Himself, to be an offering. The scaly herd more pleasure took, Bath’d in thy dish, than in the brook; Water, earth, air, did all conspire To pay their tributes to thy fire, Whose cherishing flames themselves divide Through every room, where they deride The night, and cold aboard; whilst they, Like suns within, keep endless day. Those cheerful beams send forth their light To all that wander in the night, And seem to beckon from aloof The weary pilgrim to thy roof, Where if, refresh’d, he will away, He’s faily welcome; or if stay, Far more; which he shall hearty find Both from the master and the hind. The stranger’s welcome each man there Stamp’d on his cheerful brow doth wear, Nor doth this welcome or his cheer Grow less ‘cause he stays longer here; There’s none observes, much less repines, How often this man sups or dines. Thou hast no porter at the door T’examine or keep back the poor; Nor locks nor bolts: thy gates have been Made only to let strangers in; Untaught to shut, they do not fear To stand wide open all the year, Careless who enters, for they know Thou never didst deserve a foe; And as for thieves, thy bounty’s such, They cannot steal, thou giv’st so much.

While an intrinsic ardor prompts to write, The muses promise to assist my pen; ’Twas not long since I left my native shore The land of errors, and Egyptain gloom: Father of mercy, ’twas thy gracious hand Brought me in safety from those dark abodes. Students, to you ’tis giv’n to scan the heights Above, to traverse the ethereal space, And mark the systems of revolving worlds. Still more, ye sons of science ye receive The blissful news by messengers from heav’n, How Jesus’ blood for your redemption flows. See him with hands out-stretcht upon the cross; Immense compassion in his ***** glows; He hears revilers, nor resents their scorn: What matchless mercy in the Son of God! When the whole human race by sin had fall’n, He deign’d to die that they might rise again, And share with him in the sublimest skies, Life without death, and glory without end. Improve your privileges while they stay, Ye pupils, and each hour redeem, that bears Or good or bad report of you to heav’n. Let sin, that baneful evil to the soul, By you be shun’d, nor once remit your guard; Suppress the deadly serpent in its egg. Ye blooming plants of human race divine, An Ethiop tells you ’tis your greatest foe; Its transient sweetness turns to endless pain, And in immense perdition sinks the soul.

Grace (Prosperity Poem 134)
Fair lovely Maid, or if that Title be Too weak, too Feminine for Nobler thee, Permit a Name that more Approaches Truth: And let me call thee, Lovely Charming Youth. This last will justifie my soft complaint, While that may serve to lessen my constraint; And without Blushes I the Youth persue, When so much beauteous Woman is in view. Against thy Charms we struggle but in vain With thy deluding Form thou giv'st us pain, While the bright Nymph betrays us to the Swain. In pity to our *** sure thou wer't sent, That we might Love, and yet be Innocent: For sure no Crime with thee we can commit; Or if we shou'd - thy Form excuses it. For who, that gathers fairest Flowers believes A Snake lies hid beneath the Fragrant Leaves. Though beauteous Wonder of a different kind, Soft Cloris with the dear Alexis join'd; When e'er the Manly part of thee, wou'd plead Though tempts us with the Image of the Maid, While we the noblest Passions do extend The Love to Hermes, Aphrodite the Friend.v

3 reggae doobies sat on a wall. One of them was seven feet tall. The second was short, and fat. De **** was tough, n' carried a gat. All of a sudden, a doobette walks by. De tree doobies wanna giv'er a try. De bluntz lean in a little closer. Each givea whistle lik a poser. De female spliff dismisses deir plees. De doobies cut 'er off n' get on deir kneees. Dey beg, and dey beg, and dey cry. But she turns away and says, "nice try". De doobies jump back, onto deir wall. Didn't get how she resisted their call. A new baety walks by, to test their luck. Hopefully dis spliff will be down to **** The tall one walks around front. She waves her hand, shooin' dat blunt. The fat one takes a shot, talks derty. Clearly she ain't in da mood to be flirty. Da gangster ****** roll takes a shot. Literally, he fuckin' shot 'er bumba clot. De doobies flee, as the doobette falls. Dere goes 3 reggae doobies who sat on a wall. Respect women. You never know when they might save ya life.

Diamante falso y fingido, Engastado en pedernal, &c.; "False diamond set in flint! the caverns of the mine Are warmer than the breast that holds that faithless heart of thine; Thou art fickle as the sea, thou art wandering as the wind, And the restless ever-mounting flame is not more hard to bind. If the tears I shed were tongues, yet all too few would be To tell of all the treachery that thou hast shown to me. Oh! I could chide thee sharply--but every maiden knows That she who chides her lover, forgives him ere he goes. "Thou hast called me oft the flower of all Grenada's maids, Thou hast said that by the side of me the first and fairest fades; And they thought thy heart was mine, and it seemed to every one That what thou didst to win my love, from love of me was done. Alas! if they but knew thee, as mine it is to know, They well might see another mark to which thine arrows go; But thou giv'st me little heed--for I speak to one who knows That she who chides her lover, forgives him ere he goes. "It wearies me, mine enemy, that I must weep and bear What fills thy heart with triumph, and fills my own with care. Thou art leagued with those that hate me, and ah! thou know'st I feel That cruel words as surely **** as sharpest blades of steel. 'Twas the doubt that thou wert false that wrung my heart with pain; But, now I know thy perfidy, I shall be well again. I would proclaim thee as thou art--but every maiden knows That she who chides her lover, forgives him ere he goes." Thus Fatima complained to the valiant Raduan, Where underneath the myrtles Alhambra's fountains ran: The Moor was inly moved, and blameless as he was, He took her white hand in his own, and pleaded thus his cause. "Oh, lady, dry those star-like eyes--their dimness does me wrong; If my heart be made of flint, at least 'twill keep thy image long; Thou hast uttered cruel words--but I grieve the less for those, Since she who chides her lover, forgives him ere he goes."

To God our strength sing loud, and clear, Sing loud to God our King, To Jacobs God, that all may hear Loud acclamations ring. Prepare a Hymn, prepare a Song The Timbrel hither bring The cheerfull Psaltry bring along And Harp with pleasant string. Blow, as is wont, in the new Moon With Trumpets lofty sound, Th’appointed time, the day wheron Our solemn Feast comes round. This was a Statute giv’n of old For Israel to observe A Law of Jacobs God, to hold From whence they might not swerve. This he a Testimony ordain’d In Joseph, not to change, When as he pass’d through Aegypt land; The Tongue I heard, was strange. From burden, and from slavish toyle I set his shoulder free; His hands from pots, and mirie soyle Deliver’d were by me. When trouble did thee sore assaile, On me then didst thou call, And I to free thee did not faile, And led thee out of thrall. I answer’d thee in *thunder deep *Be Sether ragnam. With clouds encompass’d round; I tri’d thee at the water steep Of Meriba renown’d. Hear O my people, heark’n well, I testifie to thee Thou antient flock of Israel, If thou wilt list to mee, Through out the land of thy abode No alien God shall be Nor shalt thou to a forein God In honour bend thy knee. I am the Lord thy God which brought Thee out of Aegypt land Ask large enough, and I, besought, Will grant thy full demand. And yet my people would not hear, Nor hearken to my voice; And Israel whom I lov’d so dear Mislik’d me for his choice. Then did I leave them to their will And to their wandring mind; Their own conceits they follow’d still Their own devises blind O that my people would be wise To serve me all their daies, And O that Israel would advise To walk my righteous waies. Then would I soon bring down their foes That now so proudly rise, And turn my hand against all those That are their enemies. Who hate the Lord should then be fain To bow to him and bend, But they, His should remain, Their time should have no end. And he would free them from the shock With flower of finest wheat, And satisfie them from the rock With Honey for their Meat.

~ t'is some sorrow that cannot fade. its inner sadness shuns the sun; as hydra thrives in northward shade, yet turns thy tearful drops to love. she thy dark night's dew, and from thy burning rain, thy weeping cries of pain, bears in brilliance, sunset hues. attires her blooms in violet blues, in soil giv’n she finds the way; from alkaline, in colored sprays, her floral pink she displays. in acid of thy heavy tears, she bears the blues of all thy fears; and burnishes thy greying eyes, with dazzling flame to lift thy sight. she shows the inner strength that flows, 'neath bitter current lies resolve; from teardrops come thy rainbow, and morning dew in love absolves. queen of mournful sighs, she coronates thy dark of night; from bitter groans she hope unfolds she bears thy tears in floral jewels. ~ *post script.

de er hårdt at sige farvel til en du elsker eller har elsket lige meget hvad der bliver sagt eller hvordan det bliver gjort fordi ordet farvel er symbolet på en afsked og ikke løsrivelse i den forstand at man sagtens kan sige farvel uden at give slip og jeg tror aldrig helt at jeg har sluppet dig eller at du har sluppet mig selvom vi sagde farvel for længe længe siden og jeg savner dig stadig nogle gange når tiden går baglæns og jeg mindes alle de gange du rørte mig med dine lange fingre og dit skæve smil der afslørede skæve tænder og jeg elskede hvert sekund med dig selv de sekunder hvor jeg havde lyst til at rive dit hovede af fordi du frustrede mig så meget da du var inkompetent i forhold til at være ærlig overfor dig selv og mig nu ville jeg bare ønske at jeg havde holdt fast på dig og sørget for at du følte dig tryg så du kunne være ærlig men nu ligger vi i to forskellige ender af landet og savner hinanden for vi ved ikke hvordan vi skal være venner for det var vi vel egentlig aldrig men jeg har ikke sluppet dig fri endnu du vil stadig altid være min store kærlighed og hvem ved om du finder din vej ind i min radius igen så vi kan smelte sammen og ligge i din seng på en gade i København og drømme om et mere spændene liv men lige nu har du en anden som ikke er mig og selvom jeg godt ved at du ikke elsker hende som du elsker mig er det stadig kærlighed og jeg elsker at du endelig har turde at satse lidt på dig selv for du ved jeg syntes du var det hele værd, selvom du ikke selv kunne se at du var andet end ét stort rod du ved jeg ønsker dig alt det bedste så indtil vi mødes igen skal du vide at det altid er hårdt at sige farvel og da jeg fortalte dig at det var for sent nu var dét det sværeste jeg nogensinde har gjort fordi jeg ikke har givet slip endnu

Thou unrelenting Past! Strong are the barriers round thy dark domain, And fetters, sure and fast, Hold all that enter thy unbreathing reign. Far in thy realm withdrawn Old empires sit in sullenness and gloom, And glorious ages gone Lie deep within the shadow of thy womb. Childhood, with all its mirth, Youth, Manhood, Age, that draws us to the ground, And last, Man's Life on earth, Glide to thy dim dominions, and are bound. Thou hast my better years, Thou hast my earlier friends--the good--the kind, Yielded to thee with tears-- The venerable form--the exalted mind. My spirit yearns to bring The lost ones back--yearns with desire intense, And struggles hard to wring Thy bolts apart, and pluck thy captives thence. In vain--thy gates deny All passage save to those who hence depart; Nor to the streaming eye Thou giv'st them back--nor to the broken heart. In thy abysses hide Beauty and excellence unknown--to thee Earth's wonder and her pride Are gathered, as the waters to the sea; Labours of good to man, Unpublished charity, unbroken faith,-- Love, that midst grief began, And grew with years, and faltered not in death. Full many a mighty name Lurks in thy depths, unuttered, unrevered; With thee are silent fame, Forgotten arts, and wisdom disappeared. Thine for a space are they-- Yet shalt thou yield thy treasures up at last; Thy gates shall yet give way, Thy bolts shall fall, inexorable Past! All that of good and fair Has gone into thy womb from earliest time, Shall then come forth to wear The glory and the beauty of its prime. They have not perished--no! Kind words, remembered voices once so sweet, Smiles, radiant long ago, And features, the great soul's apparent seat. All shall come back, each tie Of pure affection shall be knit again; Alone shall Evil die, And Sorrow dwell a prisoner in thy reign. And then shall I behold Him, by whose kind paternal side I sprung, And her, who, still and cold, Fills the next grave--the beautiful and young.

The Past

Du brugte så lang tid på at kalde mig jaloux At du glemte betydningen bag det Du glemte, hvad det betød at være jaloux For jeg var aldrig jaloux på din flirting Men nu, nu er jeg jaloux Jeg er jaloux på din nye kærlighed Så, hvordan kunne du kalde mig jaloux? Giv mig dit hjerte, forlad mig aldrig, og undgå jalousi Undgå mit hjertes begær for dig Begæret, der først udvikler sig til jalousi Når du langt om længe giver op, og forlader mig

Jaloux
febrilsk stilhed te og treoer i skole og fremlæggelser med 38 i feber, stoffet der omringer min krop gør ondt en syg pige, et sygt samfund, et sygt uddannelsessystem som konsekvens giv mig bare fuld narkose, eller et koma? kunne det ikke gavne lidt med at slappe af, koble fra fatal uvidenhed; dørene lukker giver stress over de fremadrettede adgangskrav slider sig selv ned i et desperat forsøg på at overleve, at drømme av og øv

smoke comes up
Min krop er spændt op Slipper ikke grebet Finder ud af At jeg er alene blandt mange Alene i min spændte krop Måske er det dig For dig har jeg aldrig sluppet grebet om Lad mig sluge din stemme Giv mig dine mørke øjne Send mig et tegn For måske er du druknet
