To the Cuckoo by William Wordsworth

To the Cuckoo

O blithe newcomer! I have heard,
I here thee and rejoice:
O Cuckoo! Shall I call you the bird,
or but a wandering voice?

Well I am lying on the Grass
thy twofold shout I hear;
from hill to hill it seems to pass,
At once far off and near.

Though babbling only to the vale

Of sunshine and flowers,

Thou bringest unto me a tale

Of visionary hours.

Thrice welcome, darling of the spring!
Even yet thou art to me
No but, but an invisible thing,
a voice, a mystery;

The same whom in my schoolboy days
I listen to; that cry
which made me look a thousands days
in bush, and tree and sky.

To seek thy I often rove
through woods on the green
and thou wert still a hope, a love
still longed for never seen.

And I can listen to thee yet
can lie upon the plain
and listen, till I do beget

That golden time again

O blessed birth the earth we pace
again appear to be
an unsubstantial, fairy place
that is fit home for thee.

-William Wordsworth

My Bank Account - Stephen Leacock

My Bank Account Stephen Leacock my bank account When I go into a bank I get nervous. The clerks make me nervous; the little windows at the counters make me nervous the sight of the money makes me nervous; everything makes me nervous. The moment I go through the door of a bank and attempt to do business there, I become an irresponsible fool. I attempt to do business there, I become an irresponsible fool. I knew this before I went in, but my salary had been raised to fifty six dollars a month and I felt that the bank was the only place. For it. So I walked in with dragging feet and looked shyly round at the clerks. I had an idea that a person about to open an account was obliged to consult the manager. I went up to a counter marked ‘Accountant’. The Accountant was a tall, cool fellow. The very sight of him made me nervous. My voice was deep and hollow . can I see the manager? I said, and added solemnly alone. I don’t know why I said ‘alone’. certainly, siad the accountant, and fetch...

Tree by Tina Morris

Tree They did not tell us What it would be like without trees. Nobody imagined that the whispering of leaves Would grow silent Or the vibrant jade of spring Pale to grey Death. And now we pile Rubbish on rubbish But though the shape is right And the nailed branches Lean upon the wind and plastic leaves lend colour to the twigs. We wait in vain for the slow unfurling of buds. And no amount of loving can stir our weary tree to singing. - Tina Morris
