from Don Juan - by George Gordon, Lord Byron

{ Poem }

It may seem a schoolboy’s whine,
And yet I seek not to be grand nor witty,
But I am half a Scot by birth, and bred
A whole one, and my heart flies to my head.

To the Moon - by Percy Bysshe Shelley

{ Poem }

Art thou pale for weariness
Of climbing heaven and gazing on the earth,
Wandering companionless
Among the stars that have a different birth?
