And silence sounds no worse than cheers After earth has stopped the ears.

All knots that lovers tie Are tied to sever. Here shall your sweetheart lie, Untrue for ever.

Some men are more interesting than their books but my book is more interesting than its man.

To justify God's ways to man.

They say my verse is sad: no wonder; Its narrow measure spans Tears of eternity, and sorrow, Not mine. but man's.

When the journey's over/There'll be time enough to sleep.

His folly has not fellow Beneath the blue of day That gives to man or woman His heart and soul away.
