Edgar Allen Poe, βThe Ravenβ:
Enthroned on the bust by the door,
The raven exclaims βNevermore!β
Itβs rather annoying,
For I was enjoying
My mourning for dear lost Lenore.
Edgar Allen Poe, βThe Bellsβ:
Bells are quite noisy, itβs true,
And each has a quite distinct hue,
From silver and gold
Different stories are told,
Foretelling both glory and rue.
W. H. Auden, βFuneral Bluesβ:
Shut off the clocks and the phone,
And let no dog bark with his bone:
Let the planes overhead
Only say βhe is deadββ¦
Now Iβm sorry, thereβs nobody home.
T. S. Eliot, βThe Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrockβ:
A man can walk down on the beach
Roll his pants up and munch on a peach;
He isnβt deluded
And wonβt be included
By mermaids that sing each to each.
T.S. Eliot, βThe Wastelandβ:
You called me the hyacinth girl
When you gave sweet Shakespeare a whirl;
The cityβs unreal,
And the dead men donβt feel,
So letβs let the storm warnings twirl.
Lewis Carroll, βThe Jabberwockβ:
βTwas mimsy out there by the wabe
And all of the momewraths out grabe.
The Jabberwockβs dead
(Some kid took off its head,
And his father said βYouβre my best babe!β).
Beowulf:
Terribly troubled, the Thane
Demanded defense from a Dane
For fierce in the fen
Mighty monsters maimed men
Great Grendal gave plenty of pain.
William Butler Yeats, βStolen Childβ:
Come on, human kid, and letβs go,
Thereβs so much to see and to show.
Run off with the fae,
Hurry fast, skip away,
And youβll never a mortal life know!
John Keats, βLa Belle Dame Sans Merci":
The sedge is all dry; spring has sped,
And the birds that once sang have all fled.
The merciless dame
Goes on making her claim
To young hunks who keep winding up dead.
Lord Tennyson, βThe Princessβ:
The echoes keep fading away
With the splendor that ebbs with the day,
But the castle is grand
In this bright fairyland,
And thereβs not that much else I can say.
Christina Rossetti, βGoblin Marketβ:
At goblin men we mustnβt stare,
And we shouldnβt go to their Fair.
Their fruit may seem tasty,
But we canβt be hasty,
And donβt let them play with your hair!
