Top 5 Sonnets

Top 5 cheeky wee poems:

1. She walks in beauty, like the night

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

And all that's best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and her eyes:

Thus mellow'd to that tender light

Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,

Had half impair'd the nameless grace

Which waves in every raven tress,

Or softly lightens o'er her face;

Where thoughts serenely sweet express

How pure, how dear their dwelling place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,

So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,

The smiles that win, the tints that glow,

But tell of days in goodness spent,

A mind at peace with all below,

A heart whose love is innocent!

2. Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,

Enwrought with golden and silver light,

The blue and the dim and the dark cloths

Of night and light and the half-light,

I would spread the cloths under your feet:

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;

I have spread my dreams under your feet;

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

3. For her gait if she be walking,

Be she sitting I desire her

For her state's sake, and admire her

For her wit if she be talking:

Gait and state and wit approve her;

For which all and each I love her.

Be she sullen, I commend her

For a modest; be she merry,

For a kind one her prefer I.

Briefly, everything doth lend her

So much grace and so approve her

That for everything I love her.

4. The wondrous moment of our meeting . . .

I well remember you appear

Before me like a vision fleeting,

A beauty's angel pure and clear.

In hopeless ennui surrounding

The worldly bustle, to my ear

For long your tender voice kept sounding,

For long in dreams came features dear.

Time passed. Unruly storms confounded

Old dreams, and I from year to year

Forgot how tender you had sounded,

Your heavenly features once so dear.

My backwoods days dragged slow and quiet—

Dull fence around, dark vault above—

Devoid of God and uninspired,

Devoid of tears, of fire, of love.

Sleep from my soul began retreating,

And here you once again appear

Before me like a vision fleeting,

A beauty's angel pure and clear.

In ecstasy the heart is beating,

Old joys for it anew revive;

Inspired and God-filled, it is greeting

The fire, and tears, and love alive.

5. Sweet stream that winds through yonder glade,

Apt emblem of a virtuous maid—

Silent and chaste she steals along,

Far from the world's gay busy throng:

With gentle yet prevailing force,

Intent upon her destined course;

Graceful and useful all she does,

Blessing and blest where'er she goes;

Pure-bosom'd as that watery glass,

And Heaven reflected in her face.

Satan's spawn. If we catch up when your off I'll tell you about they c"nts on the Tartan. :wink:

I used to leave a s***e wherever I left a work permit for they c"nts. :wink:

I must apologise though as I used to eat the full sara lee gateau every night of the week. The chef's appreciated my tri-main course compliment but got pissed of about the sweets. :unsure:
