INSOMNIAC
There are some nights when
sleep plays coy,
aloof and disdainful.
All the wiles
that I employ to win 5
its service to my side
are useless as wounded pride
and much more painful.

THE BELLS
Oh, the bells, bells, bells!
What a tale their terror tells
Of Despair!
How they clang, and clash, and roar!
What a horror they outpour 5
On the bosom of the palpitating air!
Yet the ear it full knows
By the twanging
And the clanging
How the danger ebbs and flows . . . 10

SYMPATHY
I know what the caged bird feels, alas!
When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;
When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,
And the river flows like a stream of glass;
When the first bird sings and the first bud opes, 5
And the faint perfume from its chalice steals -
I know what the caged bird feels!
To what other object is the river being compared?

PROLOGUE from Romeo and Juliet
Two households, both alike in dignity.
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny.
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes. 5
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' rage, 10
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
