-Alone, alone, all all alone,
Alone on a wide wide sea!
-Water, water, every where,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink.
-Samuel Taylor Coleridge: The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.
-My Heart Leaps Up
By William Wordsworth

But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
