Alphabetical Poem First Lines

A bit cryptic for me... found a summary at AllPoetry: https://allpoetry.com/One-Sea-Side-Grave... enjoyed :)

"Vulcan! hear your glorious task;" - Thomas Moore; Odes Of Anacreon - Ode IV... https://www.public-domain-poetry.com...n-ode-iv-26516

Enjoyed the ode!

"Whisk!--away in the sun"."Tony" by Clara Doty Bates

Delightful poem about Tony... Enjoyed :)

Poem by a poet with an 'x' in their name:

"In winter, sprawled on soft cushions," - Xenophanes; War Memories... https://allpoetry.com/War-Memories

The curious about these war horrors is how they are toned down and banalized. Enjoyed!



"Your troubles shrink not, though I feel them less"."A Confession To A Friend In Trouble" by Thomas Hardy
https://allpoetry.com/A-Confession-T...end-In-Trouble

Alas yes re: war.

Enjoyed :) I would like to believe I am not as stoic as my forbearers were with regards to empathy.

Poem by a poet with a 'z' in their name:

"frost on grass" - Zaishiki; frost on grass... https://allpoetry.com/Zaishiki

Liked Zaishiki's poem very much! Sadly, found no more information in the net about this interesting poet.


""At ten a.m. the young housewife"."The Young Housewife" by William Carlos Williams
https://allpoetry.com/The-Young-Housewife

Interesting vignette... Enjoyed WCW's poem :)

"Brief, on a flying night," - Alice Christina Meynell; Chimes... https://allpoetry.com/poem/8475799-C...-Alice-Meynell

Charming poem. The bells flight transforms itself until it becomes poetry.



"Center of all centers, core of cores,"."Buddha in Glory" by Rainer Maria Rilke
https://allpoetry.com/Buddha-in-Glory

"infinite peace"... Enjoyed :)

"Dainty are birds’ footprints in the snow," - Eduard Mörike; Zierlich ist des Vogels Tritt im Schnee / Hunter's Song... https://www.lieder.net/lieder/get_te...?TextId=134719

A cute poem! Mörike is mostly forgotten today, I think. The translator took some liberties with the text, to adequate it to the song,

"Eagle-heart, child-heart, bonnie lad o' dreams,"."Love And Art." by Charles Hamilton Musgrove
https://allpoetry.com/Love-And-Art

More about Mörike (we can't have him be forgotten): https://www.ebsco.com/research-start...-eduard-morike

Translation - Yes.

A poem of choices: "The poem's theme of choosing between two compelling but ultimately incompatible forces (love and art) resonates with other Romantic works."... Enjoyed :)

"Far are the shades of Arabia," - Walter de la Mare; Arabia... https://allpoetry.com/Arabia

Thanks! This poem about "the golden middle way" is probably his most famous.I once knew it by heart.
Wonderful images, but I wonder if our friend has ever been to Arabia. "Lush green" and what about the deserts?


"Gentle Spring! - in sunshine clad,"."Spring." by William Henry Giles Kingston

https://www.public-domain-poetry.com...n/spring-21834

"Lord, send what pleaseth Thee! Let it be weal or woe; Thy hands give both, and so Either contenteth me. But, Lord, whichever Thou giv’st, pain or pleasure, O do not drench me! In sweet mid-measure Lieth true plenty." :)

I think WdlM was romanticizing quite a bit.

Enjoyed this comparison of Winter & Spring :)

"How soft the night wind strokes the meadow grasses" - Eduard Mörike; A Song For Two In The Night... https://allpoetry.com/A-Song-For-Two-In-The-Night

I think I found the song but I can listen to it only tomorrow because it is near midnight.

True about WdlM.

A very romantic poem!
