A Sunset
I love the evenings, passionless and fair, I love the evens,Whether old manor-fronts their ray with golden fulgence leavens,

The Grave and The Rose
The Grave said to the Rose,"What of the dews of dawn,
Boaz Asleep
Boaz, overcome with weariness, by torchlightmade his pallet on the threshing floor
