Слушать(AI)In Memory of Maggie
A pussy-cat who was the household pet for seventeen years.
Naught but a little cat, you say;
Yet we remember her,
A creature loving, loyal, kind,
With merry, mellow purr;
The faithful friend of many years,
Shall we not give her meed of tears?
Sleek-suited in her velvet coat,
White-breasted and bright-eyed,
Feeling when she was praised and stroked A very human pride;

Are not so fond and true;
Dear puss, in all the years to
We'll keep your memory loyally.

November Evening

Rain along Shore
Wan white mists upon the sea, East wind harping mournfully All the sunken reefs along, Wail and heart-break in its song, But adown the placid bay Fisher-folk keep holiday All the deeps beyond the bar Call and murmur from afar, 'Plaining of a ...
