Poem #1
The Sun Has Long Been Set by William Wordsworth
The sun has long been set, The stars are out by twos and threes, The little birds are piping yet Among the bushes and the trees; There's a cuckoo, and one or two thrushes,* And a far-off wind that rushes, And a sound of water that gushes, And the cuckoo's sovereign cry Fills all the hollow of the sky. Who would go 'parading' In London, 'and masquerading' On such a night of June With that beautiful soft half-moonAnd all these innocent blisses? On such a night as this is!
* thrush: a type of songbird
Poem #2
Far from the Madding Crowd by Nixon Waterman
It seems to me I'd like to go Where bells don't ring, nor whistles blow, Nor clocks don't strike, nor gongs sound, And I'd have stillness all around.
Not real stillness, but just the trees, Low whispering, or the hum of bees, Or brooks faint babbling over stones,In strangely, softly tangled tones.
Or maybe a cricket or katydid,* Or the songs of birds in the hedges hid, Or just some such sweet sound as these, To fill a tired heart with ease.
If 'tweren't for sight and sound and smell, I'd like the city pretty well, But when it comes to getting rest, I like the country lots the best.
Sometimes it seems to me I must Just quit the city's din and dust, And get out where the sky is blue, And say, now, how does it seem to you?
* katydid: an insect related to grasshoppers and cricketsQuestion: How do the bolded lines (9-11) in "Far From the Madding Crowd" and the bolded lines (5-9) from "The Sun Has Long Been Set" have the same purpose due to their structure?
