hehehe haven't been up to this kind of mischief for some
time...
Here are some lines from some famous poems by famous poets.... make
a guess what's the title of the poem!
1) From Because I cannot stop for Death by Emily
Dickinson
We paused before a House that seemed
A Swelling of the Ground--
The Roof was scarcely visible--
The Cornice--in the Ground--
2) From If by Rudyard Kipling
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
3) From The Passionate Shepherd to His Love by Christopher
Marlowe
There will I make thee beds of roses
And a thousand fragrant posies,
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
Embroider'd all with leaves of myrtle.
4) From I Watched Thee by Lord Byron
The Earthquake came and rocked the quivering wall
And men and Nature reeled as if with wine
Whom did I seek around the tottering Hall
For thee, whose safety first provide for thine.
5) From The Last Leaf by Oliver Holmes
And if I should live to be
The last leaf upon the tree
In the spring,
Let them smile, as I do now,
At the old forsaken bough
Where I cling.
6) From Rain before Dawn by F. Scott
Fitzgerald
The dull, faint patter in the drooping hours
Drifts in upon my sleep and fills my hair
With damp;
7) From The Old Gumbie Cat by T S Eliot
So she's formed, from that lot of disorderly louts,
A troop of well-disciplined helpful boy-scouts,
With a purpose in life and a good deed to do
And she's even created a Beetles' Tattoo.
From The Man He Killed by Thomas
Hardy
Had he and I but met
By some old ancient inn,
We should have set us down to wet
Right many a nipperkin!
9) From Excursion by DH Lawrence
What is it then that you can see
That at the window endlessly
You watch the red sparks whirl and flee
And the night look through?
10) From Her Voice by Oscar Wilde
Look upward where the poplar trees
Sway and sway in the summer air,
Here in the valley never a breeze
Scatters the thistledown, but there
Great winds blow fair
From the mighty murmuring mystical seas,
And the wave-lashed leas.
