A loud crash and a louder roar;

And to…morrow shall the deep with a heavy moaning sweep

The corpses and wreck to the shore。〃



The stately ship of Clyde securely now may ride

In the breath of the citron shades;

And Severn's towering mast securely now hies fast;

Through the seas of the balmy Trades。



From St。 Jago's wealthy port; from Havannah's royal fort;

The seaman goes forth without fear;

For since that stormy night not a mortal hath had sight

Of the flag of the last Buccaneer。



Thomas Babington Macaulay '1800…1859'





THE LEADSMAN'S SONG



For England; when with favoring gale;

Our gallant ship up Channel steered;

And scudding; under easy sail;

The high blue western lands appeared;

To heave the lead the seaman sprang;

And to the pilot cheerly sang;

〃By the deep … Nine。〃



And bearing up to gain the port;

Some well…known object kept in view;

An abbey tower; a ruined fort;

A beacon to the vessel true;

While oft the lead the seaman flung;

And to the pilot cheerly sung;

〃By the mark … Seven。〃



And as the much…loved shore we near;

With transport we behold the roof

Where dwelt a friend or partner dear;

Of faith and love and matchless proof。

The lead once more the seaman flung;

And to the watchful pilot sung;

〃Quarter less … Five。〃



Now to her berth the ship draws nigh;

With slackened sail she feels the tide;

Stand clear the cable is the cry;

The anchor's gone; we safely ride。

The watch is set; and through the night;

We hear the seaman with delight

Proclaim … 〃All's well。〃



Charles Dibdin '1745…1814'





HOMEWARD BOUND



Head the ship for England!

Shake out every sail!

Blithe leap the billows;

Merry sings the gale。

Captain; work the reckoning;

How many knots a day? …

Round the world and home again;

That's the sailor's way!



We've traded with the Yankees;

Brazilians and Chinese;

We've laughed with dusky beauties

In shade of tall palm…trees;

Across the line and Gulf…Stream …

Round by Table Bay …

Everywhere and home again;

That's the sailor's way!



Nightly stands the North Star

Higher on our bow;

Straight we run for England;

Our thoughts are in it now。

Jolly times with friends ashore;

When we've drawn our pay! …

All about and home again;

That's the sailor's way!



Tom will to his parents;

Jack will to his dear;

Joe to wife and children;

Bob to pipes and beer;

Dicky to the dancing…room;

To hear the fiddles play; …

Round the world and home again;

That's the sailor's way!



William Allingham '1824…1889'















THE SIMPLE LIFE













THE LAKE ISLE OF INNISFREE



I will arise and go now; and go to Innisfree;

And a small cabin build there; of clay and wattles made;

Nine bean rows will I have there; a hive for the honey bee;

And live alone in the bee…loud glade。



And I shall have some peace there; for peace comes dropping slow;

Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;

There midnight's all a glimmer; and noon a purple glow;

And evening full of the linnet's wings。



I will arise and go now; for always; night and day;

I hear lake…water lapping with low sounds by the shore;

While I stand on the roadway; or on the pavements gray;

I hear it in the deep heart's core。



William Butler Yeats '1865…





A WISH



Mine be a cot beside the hill;

A bee…hive's hum shall soothe my ear;

A willowy brook; that turns a mill;

With many a fall shall linger near。



The swallow; oft; beneath my thatch

Shall twitter from her clay…built nest;

Oft shall the pilgrim lift the latch;

And share my meal; a welcome guest。



Around my ivied porch shall spring

Each fragrant flower that drinks the dew;

And Lucy; at her wheel; shall sing

In russet…gown and apron blue。



The village…church among the trees;

Where first our marriage…vows were given;

With merry peals shall swell the breeze

And point with taper spire to Heaven。



Samuel Rogers '1763…1855'





ODE ON SOLITUDE



Happy the man; whose wish and care

A few paternal acres bound;

Content to breathe his native air

In his own ground。



Whose herds with milk; whose fields with bread;

Whose flocks supply him with attire;

Whose trees in summer yield him shade;

In winter; fire。



Blest; who can unconcernedly find

Hours; days; and years; slide soft away

In health of body; peace of mind;

Quiet by day;



Sound sleep by night; study and ease

Together mixed; sweet recreation;

And innocence; which most does please;

With meditation。



Thus let me live; unseen; unknown; 

Thus unlamented let me die;

Steal from the world; and not a stone

Tell where I lie。



Alexander Pope '1688…1744'





〃THRICE HAPPY HE〃



Thrice happy he; who by some shady grove;

Far from the clamorous world; doth live his own;

Though solitary; who is not alone;

But doth converse with that eternal love。

O how more sweet is birds' harmonious moan;

Or the soft sobbings of the widowed dove;

Than those smooth whisperings near a prince's throne;

Which good make doubtful; do the evil approve!

Or how more sweet is Zephyr's wholesome breath;

And sighs perfumed which do the flowers unfold;

Than that applause vain honor doth bequeath!

How sweet are streams to poison drunk in gold!

The world is full of horrors; falsehoods; slights;

Woods' silent shades have only true delights。



William Drummond '1585…1649'





〃UNDER THE GREENWOOD TREE〃

From 〃As You Like It〃



Under the greenwood tree;

Who loves to lie with me;

And turn his merry note

Unto the sweet bird's throat;

Come hither; come hither; come hither:

Here shall he see

No enemy

But winter and rough weather。



Who doth ambition shun;

And loves to live i' the sun;

Seeking the food he eats;

And pleased with what he gets;

Come hither; come hither; come hither:

Here shall he see

No enemy

But winter and rough weather。



William Shakespeare '1564…1616'





CORIDON'S SONG

In 〃The Complete Angler〃



Oh; the sweet contentment

The countryman doth find。

High trolollie lollie loe;

High trolollie lee;

That quiet contemplation

Possesseth all my mind:

Then care away;

And wend along with me。



For courts are full of flattery;

As hath too oft been tried;

High trolollie lollie loe;

High trolollie lee;

The city full of wantonness;

And both are full of pride:



But oh; the honest countryman

Speaks truly from his heart;

High trolollie lollie loe;

High trolollie lee;

His pride is in his tillage;

His horses and his cart:



Our clothing is good sheepskins;

Gray russet for our wives;

High trolollie lollie loe;

High trolollie lee;

Tis warmth and not gay clothing

That doth prolong our lives:



The plowman; though he labor hard;

Yet on the holiday;

High trolollie lollie loe;

High trolollie lee;

No emperor so merrily

Does pass his time away:



To recompense our tillage

The heavens afford us showers;

High trolollie lollie loe;

High trolollie lee;

And for our sweet refreshments

The earth affords us bowers:



The cuckoo and the nightingale

Full merrily do sing;

High trolollie lollie loe;

High trolollie lee;

And with their pleasant roundelays

Bid welcome to the spring:



This is not half the happiness

The countryman enjoys;

High trolollie lollie loe;

High trolollie lee;

Though others think they have as much

Yet he that says so lies:

Then come away; turn

Countryman with me。



John Chalkhill 'fl。 1648'





THE OLD SQUIRE



I like the hunting of the hare

Better than that of the fox;

I like the joyous morning air;

And the crowing of the cocks。



I like the calm of the early fields;

The ducks asleep by the lake;

The quiet hour which nature yields

Before mankind is awake。



I like the pheasants and feeding things

Of the unsuspicious morn;

I like the flap of the wood…pigeon's wings

As she rises from the corn。



I like the blackbird's shriek; and his rush

From the turnips as I pass by;

And the partridge hiding her head in a bush;

For her young ones cannot fly。



I like these things; and I like to ride;

When all the world is in bed;

To the top of the hill where the sky grows wide;

And where the sun grows red。



The beagles at my horse…heels trot

In silence after me;

There's Ruby; Roger; Diamond; Dot;

Old Slut and Margery; …



A score of names well used; and dear;

The names my childhood knew;

The horn with which I rouse their cheer;

Is the horn my father blew。



I like the hunting of the hare

Better than that of the fox;

The new world still is all less fair

Than the old world it mocks。



I covet not a wider range

Than these dear manors give;

I take my pleasures without change;

And as I lived I live。



I leave my neighbors to their thought;

My choice it is; and pride;

On my own lands to find my sport;

In my own fields to ride。



The hare herself no better loves

The field where she was bred;

Than I the habit of these groves;

My own inherited。



I know my quarries every one;

The meuse where she sits low;

The road she chose to…day was run

A hundred years ago。



The lags; the gills; the forest ways;

The hedgerows one and all;

These are the kingdoms of my chase;

And bounded by my wall;



Nor has the world a better thing;

Though one should search it round;

Than thus to live one's own sole king;

Upon one's own sole ground。



I like the hunting of the hare;

It brings me; day by day;

The memory of old days as fair;

With dead men passed away。



To these; as homeward still I ply

And pass the churchyard gate;

Where all are laid as I must lie

I stop and raise my hat。



I like the hunting of the hare;

New sports I hold in scorn。

I lik
