The Queen Dee`s Favorite Poems

"The World is Too Much With Us"

The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending we lay waste our powers,
Little we see in nature that is ours,
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
The Sea that bares her bosom to the moon,
The Winds that will be howling at all hours,
Are gathered up now like sleeping flowers,
For this, For everything else, we are out of tune
It moves us not.-- Great God!I`d rather be
A Pagan Suckeled in a Creed outworn,
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
Or hear old Tritan blow his wreathed horn!
-William Worsdworth

"I Never Saw a Wild Thing"

I never saw a wild thing feel sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a
bough without ever having felt sorry for itself
-Emily Dickenson

" Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor Iron bars a cage,;
Minds Innocent and quiet take,
That for an hermitage;
If I have freedom in my love,
And in my soul am free,
Angels alone that soar above,
Enjoy such liberty"
-Richard Lovelace "To Althea from Prison"

"My Heart Leaps up When I Behold"

My heart leaps up when I behold
A Rainbow in the Sky:
So Was it when my life began;
So it is now I am a man;
So be it when I grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is Father of the Man;
I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety
-William Wordsworth

"I Never Saw a Moor"
I never saw a moor,
I never saw the sea,
Yet Know I how the Heather looks,
And what a wave must be.
I never spoke with God,
Nor visited Heaven;
Yet certain I am of the spot,
As if the chart were given.
-Emily Dickenson
