There was an Old Man with a Beard
There was an Old Man with a beard,
Who said, "It is just as I feared!—
Two Owls and a Hen, four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard.
--Edward Lear

“Awake! for Morning in the Bowl of Night
Has flung the Stone that puts the Stars to Flight:        
And Lo! The Hunter of the East has caught                        
The Sultan’s Turret in a Noose of Light”
(Edward FitzGerald and the Rubšiyšt of Omar Khayyšm, 1st edition 1859)

I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
Dorothea Mackellar, Australian writer, from the poem: “My Country”, 1908
