A Blessing By: James Wright

Just off the highway to Rochester, Minnesota, Twilight bounds softly forth on the grass,And the eyes of those two Indian poniesDarken with kindness.They have come gladly out of the willowsTo welcome my friend and me. We step over barbed wire into the pastureWhere they have been grazing all day, alone.They ripple tensely, they can hardly contain their happinessThat we have come. They bow shyly as wet swans. They love each other.There is no loneliness like theirs. At home once more,They begin munching the young tufts of spring in the darkness.I would like to hold the slenderer one in my arms,For she has walked over to meAnd nuzzled my left hand.She is black and white, Her mane falls wild on her forehead,And the light breeze moves me to caress her long ear,That is delicate as the skin over a girl's wrist.Suddenly I realize That if I stepped out of my body I would breakInto blossom.

Once by the PacificBy: Robert Frost

The shattered water made a misty din.Great waves looked over others coming in,And thought of doing something to the shoreThat water never did to land before.The clouds were low and hairy in the skies,Like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes.You could not tell, and yet it looked as if The shore was lucky in being backed by cliff,The cliff in being backed by continent;It looked as if a night of dark intentWas coming, and not only a night, an age.Someone had better be prepared for rage.There would be more than ocean-water brokenBefore God’s last Put out the Light was spoken.

Don't know if I could ever beWithout you cause boy you complete meAnd in time I know that we'll both seeThat we're all we need

Cause you're the apple to my pieYou're the straw to my berryYou're the smoke to my highAnd you're the one I wanna marry

Cause your the one for me (for me)And I'm the one for you (for you)You take the both of us (of us)And we're the perfect two

You can be the prince and I can be your princessYou can be the sweet tooth and I can be the dentistYou can be the shoes and I can be the lacesYou can be the heart that I spill on the pages

Don't know if I could ever beWithout you cause boy you complete meAnd in time I know that we'll both seeThat we're all we need
