Always you yourself you hid

by Robert Louis Stevenson

I saw you toss the kites on high  
And blow the birds about the sky;
And all around I heard you pass,
Like ladies’ skirts across the grass—
O wind, a-blowing all day long,
O wind, that sings so loud a song!

A Sailor went to sea

A sailor went to sea sea sea,
To see what he could see see see.
But all that he could see see see,
Was the bottom of the deep blue sea sea sea.

Love

by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

And in life's noisiest hour,
There whispers still the ceaseless love of thee,
The heart's self-solace and soliloquy.
You mould my hopes, you fashion me within ;
And to the leading love-throb in the heart

Happy New Year

by Lynne Hand

The old year's gone,
The new year's come,
And now it's time to have some fun.
So raise a glass and give a cheer,
And have yourself a Happy New Year.
