THE EAGLETHE EAGLEAlfred, Lord TennysonAlfred, Lord Tennyson(1809 – 1892)(1809 – 1892)

He clasps the crag with crooked hands;He clasps the crag with crooked hands;

Close to the sun in lonely lands,Close to the sun in lonely lands,

Ringed with the azure world, he stands.Ringed with the azure world, he stands.

The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;

He watches from his mountain walls,He watches from his mountain walls,

And like a thunderbolt he falls.And like a thunderbolt he falls.

LOVELIEST OF TREES, THE CHERRY NOWLOVELIEST OF TREES, THE CHERRY NOWA.E. Housman (1859 – 1936)A.E. Housman (1859 – 1936)

Loveliest of trees, the cherry nowLoveliest of trees, the cherry nowIs hung with bloom along the bough,Is hung with bloom along the bough,

And stands about the woodland rideAnd stands about the woodland ride Wearing white for Eastertide.Wearing white for Eastertide.

Now, of my threescore years and ten,Now, of my threescore years and ten, Twenty will not come again,Twenty will not come again, And take from seventy springs a score, And take from seventy springs a score, If only leaves me fifty more.If only leaves me fifty more.

And since to look at things in bloomAnd since to look at things in bloom Fifty springs are little room,Fifty springs are little room, About the woodlands I will goAbout the woodlands I will go To see the cherry hung with snow.To see the cherry hung with snow. (1896)(1896)
