SONNET 98 From you have I been absent in the spring, When proud-pied April, dressed in all his trim, Hath put a spirit of youth in everything, That heavy Saturn laughed and leaped with him. Yet nor the lays of birds, nor the sweet smell Of different flowers in odour and in hue, Could make me any summer’s story tell, Or from their proud lap pluck them where they grew: Nor did I wonder at the lily’s white, Nor praise the deep vermilion in the rose; They were but sweet, but figures of delight Drawn after you, – you pattern of all those.     Yet seem’d it winter still, and, you away,     As with your shadow I with these did play.                                         - William Shakespeare

आह को चाहिए इक उम्र असर होने तक कौन जीता है तेरी ज़ुल्फ़ के सर होने तक। आशिक़ी सब्र-तलब और तमन्ना बेताब दिल का क्या रंग करूँ ख़ून-ए-जिगर होने तक। हम ने माना कि तग़ाफुल न करोगे लेकिन ख़ाक हो जाएँगे हम तुमको ख़बर होने तक। ग़म-ए-हस्ती का ‘असद’ किस से हो जुज़ मर्ग इलाज शमा हर रंग में जलती है सहर होने तक।                                             - मिर्ज़ा ग़ालिब 

The ring is on my hand, And the wreath is on my brow; Satin and jewels grand Are all at my command, And I am happy now. And my lord he loves me well; But, when first he breathed his vow, I felt my bosom swell- For the words rang as a knell, And the voice seemed his who fell In the battle down the dell, And who is happy now. But he spoke to re-assure me, And he kissed my pallid brow, While a reverie came o'er me, And to the church-yard bore me, And I sighed to him before me, Thinking him dead D'Elormie, "Oh, I am happy now!" And thus the words were spoken, And this the plighted vow, And, though my faith be broken, And, though my heart be broken, Here is a ring, as token That I am happy now! Would God I could awaken! For I dream I know not how! And my soul is sorely shaken Lest an evil step be taken,- Lest the dead who is forsaken May not be happy now.                        - Edgar Allan Poe

Baa, baa, black sheep Have you any wool? Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full. One for the master, And one for the dame, And one for the little boy Who lives down the lane.                       - Mother Goose

When in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state, And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries, And look upon myself and curse my fate, Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, Featured like him, like him with friends possessed, Desiring this man’s art and that man’s scope, With what I most enjoy contented least; Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising, Haply I think on thee, and then my state, (Like to the lark at break of day arising From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven’s gate; For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings That then I scorn to change my state with kings. - William Shakespeare Summary And Theme : According To Gradesaver.com , In the Sonnet 'When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes' . The emotional state of the speaker is one of depression: in the first line, he assumes himself to be "in disgrace with fortune," meaning he has

Not marble nor the gilded monuments Of princes shall outlive this powerful rhyme, But you shall shine more bright in these contents Than unswept stone besmeared with sluttish time. When wasteful war shall statues overturn, And broils root out the work of masonry, Nor Mars his sword nor war’s quick fire shall burn The living record of your memory. ’Gainst death and all-oblivious enmity Shall you pace forth; your praise shall still find room Even in the eyes of all posterity That wear this world out to the ending doom.     So, till the Judgement that yourself arise,     You live in this, and dwell in lovers’ eyes.                                         - William Shakespeare

Little Lamb who made thee           Dost thou know who made thee  Gave thee life & bid thee feed.  By the stream & o'er the mead;  Gave thee clothing of delight,  Softest clothing wooly bright;  Gave thee such a tender voice,  Making all the vales rejoice!           Little Lamb who made thee           Dost thou know who made thee           Little Lamb I'll tell thee,           Little Lamb I'll tell thee! He is called by thy name,  For he calls himself a Lamb:  He is meek & he is mild,  He became a little child:  I a child & thou a lamb,  We are called by his name.           Little Lamb God bless thee.           Little Lamb God bless thee.                      - William Blake

The Needle Tree Full Story: There were once two brothers who lived on the edge of a forest. The elder brother was very mean to his younger brother and ate up all the food and took all his good clothes. One day, the elder brother went into the forest to find some firewood to sell in the market. As he went around chopping the branches of a tree after tree, he came upon a magical tree. The tree said to him, ‘Oh kind sir, please do not cut my branches. If you spare me, I will give you my golden apples’. The elder brother agreed but was disappointed with the number apples the tree gave him. Greed overcame him, and he threatened to cut the entire trunk if the tree didn’t give him more apples. The magical tree instead showered upon the elder brother hundreds upon hundreds of tiny needles. The elder brother lay on the ground crying in pain as the sun began to lower down the horizon. The younger brother grew worried and went in search of his elder brother. He found him with hundreds of nee

This poem describes the narrator's repressed feelings of anger towards an individual, emotions which eventually lead to murder. I was angry with my friend;  I told my wrath, my wrath did end.  I was angry with my foe:  I told it not, my wrath did grow.  And I waterd it in fears,  Night & morning with my tears:  And I sunned it with smiles,  And with soft deceitful wiles.  And it grew both day and night.  Till it bore an apple bright.  And my foe beheld it shine,  And he knew that it was mine.  And into my garden stole,  When the night had veild the pole;  In the morning glad I see;  My foe outstretched beneath the tree.                                  - William Blake

मैं घमण्डों में भरा ऐंठा हुआ । एक दिन जब था मुण्डेरे पर खड़ा । आ अचानक दूर से उड़ता हुआ । एक तिनका आँख में मेरी पड़ा । मैं झिझक उठा, हुआ बेचैन-सा । लाल होकर आँख भी दुखने लगी । मूँठ देने लोग कपड़े की लगे । ऐंठ बेचारी दबे पाँवों भगी । जब किसी ढब से निकल तिनका गया । तब 'समझ' ने यों मुझे ताने दिए । ऐंठता तू किसलिए इतना रहा । एक तिनका है बहुत तेरे लिए ।                        - अयोध्या सिंह उपाधयाय ( हरिऔध )

The Poem of our childhood but this time in full length. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are! Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky. When the blazing sun is gone, When he nothing shines upon, Then you show your little light, Twinkle, twinkle, all the night. Then the traveler in the dark Thanks you for your tiny spark, How could he see where to go, If you did not twinkle so? In the dark blue sky you keep, Often through my curtains peep For you never shut your eye, Till the sun is in the sky. As your bright and tiny spark Lights the traveler in the dark, Though I know not what you are, Twinkle, twinkle, little star. - Jane Taylor More Liks: Humpty Dumpty Sat On a Wall:   https://themotivationaladda.blogspot.com/2019/04/humpty-dumpty-sat-on-wall-mother-goose.html A Magic Kingdom:   https://themotivationaladda.blogspot.com/2019/05/a-magic-kingdom-walt-disney.html

Always try to get your dream Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly.

Losing their child is the biggest grief that a parents can face. Poem  gives the theme of death, gender inequality and communication between couples. He saw her from the bottom of the stairs Before she saw him. She was starting down, Looking back over her shoulder at some fear. She took a doubtful step and then undid it To raise herself and look again. He spoke Advancing toward her: ‘What is it you see From up there always—for I want to know.’ She turned and sank upon her skirts at that, And her face changed from terrified to dull. He said to gain time: ‘What is it you see,’ Mounting until she cowered under him. ‘I will find out now—you must tell me, dear.’ She, in her place, refused him any help With the least stiffening of her neck and silence. She let him look, sure that he wouldn’t see, Blind creature; and awhile he didn’t see. But at last he murmured, ‘Oh,’ and again, ‘Oh.’ ‘What is it—what?’ she said.
