Leopard

Anonymous

See the golden Leopard with the spots!
The golden cat of the cliffs!
See the Leopard with the bulging cheeks,

My enemies I leave behind, saying
`This was not one leopard but ten!`

And the grass, the grass is tall, the grass is up for hay,
With daisies white like silver and buttercups like gold,

Air And Angels

John Donne

Twice or thrice had I loved thee,
Before I knew thy face or name;
So in a voice, so in a shapeless flame,
Angels affect us oft, and worshipped be;
Still when, to where thou wert, I came,
Some lovely glorious nothing I did see.
But since my soul, whose child love is,
Takes limbs of flesh, and else could
